Question: How can one make use of the help of the group or the Creator in order to reach the beginning of spiritual work as quickly as possible?

Answer: The fact is that a person by oneself, alone, without a group, is practically unable to come to a definition of their state as darkness, as evil.

Without such external factors as environment and group, one will never be able to know which states are more advanced, more correct—those that truly advance him toward the spiritual—and which are merely those that seem so to him and appear that way to him.

Therefore, if a person is ready, with the help of the group, to define one’s parameters in a more correct form, independent of one’s personal feeling and dependent only on the definition of truth and falsehood, and not on “bitter–sweet”; if he is ready to withstand this despite the fact that it is bitter for him or her to determine that this is truth and therefore preferable (and only the group, the books, and the teacher can make this clear to one), then one’s darkness turns into day.

A person’s definition of what is called darkness and light changes. It is not that there was a change in his or her state, in the surrounding reality, or in the Creator’s attitude toward the person. What changed was one’s inner definition, and this is called that one corrected one’s vessel. That is, now a person examines their sensations by a different vessel, which is called the vessel of faith above reason.
