Question: It is interesting that when you are physically near someone, it is easier to associate yourself with them. But doing so through thought alone is much harder. How can we work through thought without slipping into mysticism or telepathy where people claim to sense each other at a distance?

Answer: People can feel one another and even think together. But this is not like Wolf Messing, who could supposedly read minds; that is simply an animalistic sense.

Anyone with enough training can develop such abilities, regardless of their internal qualities, whether good or evil. This is something many charmers and shamans are capable of. It is not difficult, and it can be developed in anyone.

But if we are talking not about reading thoughts, but about an inner connection between people, then that arises only through the quality of bestowal, which is above our egoism. This kind of connection through bestowal requires mutuality, reciprocity, love, and inclusion of one another. It is when a shared vessel is formed where all thoughts and feelings become common and merge together.

What is fascinating is that individuality is not lost in this process; it actually expands through others. It is as if I have absorbed you into my vessel, and you have absorbed me into yours, and so with everyone else. As a result, I exist within everyone, and everyone exists within me.

This is the principle of a healthy, properly functioning organism where every cell is integrated with all other parts and cells of the body; it gives itself to them and receives from them. Then each cell feels the entire body, becomes one with it, and feels eternity, infinity, and the boundlessness of everything within it, and not just the tiny, isolated part it would otherwise feel in a lifeless state, barely aware of itself.

That is why mutual inclusion through the quality of bestowal gives a person an entirely new level of existence, what we call spiritual life. It is the feeling of eternity, infinity, perfection, and boundlessness because ultimately you absorb into yourself countless other souls.

This is a unique state, and it is precisely what we must attain. It is not far off, and at first it depends only on our mutual concessions to one another. Later it deepens into a connection on the level of true internal adhesion.
