If you want to achieve a corrected state, in accordance with the plan of the Creator, according to how He would do it, and you are not concerned in what form it will happen to you, as long as it is similar to Him, then you must demand an example and instructions from Him, and He will give them to you.

But this is on the condition that you do not demand any compensation before you even begin the work. You must demand knowledge: how to work.

Such a demand for correction is called raising MAN. And then from above we receive a plan for how to perform even the smallest action. Of course, a person himself cannot find it. By himself he can only organize his environment for it to provide him with the correct request that is aimed only at correction. If this succeeds, then everything will be fine.

Through the environment, we organize a demand to the Creator so that He gives us an example. By ourselves we are incapable, confused, unable to resist our nature, and unable to fulfill the rule “Love your neighbor as yourself,” but if we ask, we receive such an opportunity. This is the only free action, and to perform it is our duty.

Only for this do we have reward and punishment. Either force comes to us at the right time, in the right place, and a person grows in the right direction. Or he makes mistakes, and then the forces are not distributed in the correct way in order to bear fruit, and a person misses the opportunity.

The mistake is that he does not prepare himself to reach the correct request so that the Creator will give him a program of correction. Usually a person asks for fulfillment, not for correction. He must ask the Creator for correction in order to be able to achieve love for one’s neighbor, that is, to acquire the quality of bestowal.
