Question: You once said that there are many souls that are revealed without clothing in bodies in this world. The body is a help for interaction between souls. But there are forms of souls that are not able to understand where they are. Does it mean that there are souls that perceive this world and others that do not feel this reality?
Answer: In the beginning, a desire was created that was obligated to descend to the very bottom, to a complete disconnection from the light. Only from this lowest state, standing on it with its own feet, does it begin to properly attain itself. But not in the place where we are now, in bodies, because the lowest state is considered to be the state in which we begin to feel the Creator.
Our current state is completely disconnected from the true reality. We exist as if in an unconscious state. We are turned and moved around, but we ourselves, in essence, do nothing. Various actions are performed on us, actions we must go through in order to develop the initial feeling of the light in ourselves, that is, the quality opposite to ours.
As soon as we become able to feel it even a little, to become aware of it, to understand it, then we will immediately find ourselves truly existing on the minimal spiritual degree. And our prior state is like an embryo in a mother’s womb, that cannot be spoken of as existing because the mother does everything for it, and it is only a preparatory process for the birth of the organism.
Although we speak of it as something that exists, something that cannot be killed, still, in any case, it is nobody and nothing. Right now, we are in exactly such a state.
But as soon as we rise to the first spiritual state, its growth begins. That is, we will continuously grow head upward, higher and higher, until the world of infinity, passing through 125 degrees, just as, for example, a human being grows from zero to 125 centimeters.

Who Can See The True Reality?
Question: There were many athletes like Brumel or Yuri Vlasov, for example, who after terrible injuries and illnesses would get back up and overcome their fate. When the Creator tests a person for strength? What is the purpose of this?
Answer: All of this is deposited into the common treasury of the collective soul of all humanity. Such people add a great deal to humanity through their destiny.
Question: What do they help humanity understand?
Answer: They raise humanity closer to the Creator.
Question: Even though they themselves sort of…
Answer: It does not matter how they personally relate to it. I am not saying they are some kind of saints. They simply raise the bar of the human being higher toward the Creator.
But I am not in favor of suffering. There are many similar examples where people choose suffering and think that through it, they rise. This is not correct.
Question: Then the natural question in such cases, and others too is “What does it mean not to suffer?”
Answer: If you clearly understand and you have the right conditions where your suffering makes someone else’s correction or progress easier, then yes. But if it is only in your imagination…
Comment: You have raised the bar now. You said: “If my suffering eases someone’s life, and fate, and soul.” You did not say “me,” but “someone else.”
My Response: Someone else, of course.
Question: “Of course!” That is high! So, it is if my suffering serves as an example for someone and I do it for the sake of the example, to show that it’s possible, to encourage them to try?
Answer: Yes.
Question: That is lofty!
You always speak about annulling before fate, before what the Creator decides. When you say this, what exactly do you mean?
Answer: I mean that I reasonably agree with what stands before me.
Question: Even with my illnesses and so on?
Answer: Of course.
Question: Do I say: “This is from You, and it is necessary for me.” Like that?
Answer: Yes.
Question: What happens then with my pain, with my suffering?
Answer: Agreeing with it creates tranquility within a person. He agrees with his fate, he agrees with the Creator, he agrees to accept everything that is allotted to him according to his destiny.
Question: Is it like an analgesic?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Is this called “annulment”?
Answer: Yes.
Question: And one must reach this?
Answer: I believe so.

Question: My daughter is still very young, but I am already terribly worried about what will happen to her when she reaches adolescence. How would you advise me to raise her?
Answer: I cannot advise on a particular case because everyone depends on everyone else. It is impossible to separate one from the others. A person is a product of society and the environment, even when that environment is artificial. The problem is that we lack a program for bringing up the new generation.
Question: This is a painful question for anyone who has children. What can we do?
Answer: I do not think anyone really cares about the kids. Parents shun responsibility and don’t want to hear about the problems of young people. They won’t want to listen to what I am saying now either because it is unpleasant. It is easier not to think about anything, as they say: “The suffering of many is half the consolation.”
Everyone thinks, “My children are no worse than others. Should I raise them differently, they will not be able to live in tomorrow’s cruel world. Better that they are like everyone else.” Indeed, one family cannot change anything; as the saying goes, “One swallow does not a summer make.” We are talking about the entire country.
We need to decide globally on what to do with the next generation. There needs to be a global consensus, a common discussion of what to do. The children are still in our hands despite everything on the Internet that we have given them. This is our problem, and we must find a solution because they are under our care.
This problem should be addressed not only at the level of a single country, but at the levels of UNESCO and the UN. Let them finally stop doing all the nonsense and realize that we are losing the younger generation. Where is education? Where is culture? Nothing is left of them. These huge organizations are not doing what they should be doing at all.
A general, global education program is needed. After all, we cannot shut down the Internet or the country, so we need an international approach. This issue should receive the highest priority because it concerns the younger generation.
In 10, 15, or 20 years, they will take our place and will be in charge of life instead of us. If we want to know what will happen then, take a look at teenagers, at how we prepare them. Unfortunately, nothing good is in sight yet.

Question: A person can come to the meaning of life, reveal it, and feel it, only if he understands that he cannot do without it. That is, it should be above life and death. Does a person bring himself to such an extreme state, or is he being brought to it?
Answer: No, it is done by the soul. It is a soul that seeks to escape, to free itself from the bonds of this life.
Question: So are these special souls, and do we not know when this will happen to us?
Answer: Yes, but gradually more and more souls are approaching this state.
Question: Is that what we call a cry, a prayer?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Is this a gift from above?
Answer: All this is a gift. Absolutely everything is a gift from the Creator.
Question: So are my efforts to achieve this a gift?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Is there no way that it can just occur to a person?
Answer: Not to anyone, ever, in any way. It only comes from the Creator and only to those whom He ordains for it.
Question: Tell me, please, is the revelation of truth the end or the beginning of the work?
Answer: The revelation of truth is the beginning.
Question: And then again do we feel that we cannot breathe, and again it is revealed?
Answer: But this time it is different.
Question: What is the truth?
Answer: It is in attaining the Creator, in attaining the entire universe through the Creator. This is the realization of the perfection of the Creator’s actions.
Question: Is this what we must attain?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Does everyone have to attain this one way or another, sooner or later?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Will everyone be put through this—”I cannot breathe unless…”?
Answer: Not to that extent. There are special souls that have to go through it on such a large scale themselves. And there are those who go through it after them, in their footsteps, en masse.
