An Archipelago of Egoism
Question: How can I restore my connection with the Creator after a descent? Should I begin to think that it comes from Him and directly make such a calculation? But if you say it is impossible to do this without experience, then what should I do in this situation?
Answer: One person cannot do anything alone. One will ascend and descend for a long time, struggling until a person finally finds a group. A thought will arise within him that this is necessary, and he will be brought to the group.
We are all the result of a shattered soul. Each of us is a fragment, a shard, and we must gather these broken parts back together into one whole.
The shattering occurred when a great light acted upon the collective desire and caused it to break apart. This desire then filled the spaces between the fragments, between its broken pieces. In this way, the desire became multilayered, complex, and egoistic. Now, between all its fragments, egoism resides.
What should we do? Within this system are our individual desires, and between them, between all of us, lies egoism, and filling all the spaces between us is a force intentionally created by the Creator.
Now we are like an archipelago, small islands in a sea separated by egoism. We need the Creator to act upon this sea of egoism and transform our egoistic interactions into altruistic ones—into connection, bestowal, and love. This is the correction.
Therefore, without a group we cannot achieve anything. If I try to work alone, I will have no opportunity to achieve anything.
There was a period in human history, from Adam to Abraham, when it was not necessary to correct oneself through interaction in a group. At that time, egoism was not manifested in such a way that it required the attraction of the upper light within a group to transform intentions from reception to bestowal.
But now, I cannot imagine how this can be done without a group. A person, of course, may detach themselves slightly from the material world, but they cannot move forward and ascend the spiritual ladder because the implementation of the method of correction consists in reuniting into the one soul called Adam.
