Question: When does a person first establish connection with the Creator?

Answer: Do you think that you don’t have this connection right now? A newborn baby who knows nothing about it has the strongest bond with his mother. And later we will have to build screens above our desire to receive pleasure.

The younger we are spiritually, the smaller we are, the closer we are to the beginning of the path, the stronger our connection is with the Creator. After all, for now, we are not disturbed by the various wisdoms and unfolding egoistic desires that separate us from the Creator.

The point of adhesion is built by a person separates from the Creator the desire to enjoy that is revealed in him and merges with the Creator above this desire. But now we are merged with the Creator through our desires in a natural way.

In other words, a person is always in adhesion with the Creator; the only difference is what percentage of this adhesion is attributed to the Creator and how much is attributed to the person himself. Let us assume it is 40/60 now, that is what my spiritual degree is called. If 125 steps are taken as 100%, then I am currently at two-thirds of the height of the ladder.

The more desires that are revealed in me and I correct, the greater the adhesion that was achieved through the power of the upper, I can now take upon myself and sustain with my own strength.

But we never leave the adhesion with the Creator. Nothing changes except our understanding, awareness, and attainment of one single constant, unchanging state.
