Comment: You say that tension is needed to accelerate the data processing. It seems to me that I would do it much better if I were in a peaceful state and not under the group’s pressure.

My Response: So, you are saying this: “If the group pressures me, I will get confused and run away; I cannot function under pressure.” There must be pressure. The group should obligate a person.

Comment: But still, I need some free time to process the information.

My Response: Data is not processed by sitting quietly with a mug of beer and pondering life. Data is processed in critical, stressful states. Don’t think you will get a moment of rest, and then you will sit down, focus, and solve everything, nothing of the sort! On the contrary, the faster your pace, the greater your ability to make calculations will become. It is precisely in such states that you make the correct calculations within fractions of a second.

Of course, there is study; there is a time when one truly needs to study in order to feel some connection with the structure of the worlds, with the structure of the soul, to understand how it is built, and how I can at least somewhat mentally connect myself to it, verify it, and see it. A person must divide their time, but even then be on their toes.

What is tension? Tension is a lack, a deficiency in achieving the goal. That is called stress, tension, and pressure.

When I want something and cannot attain it, it puts pressure on me, it makes me tense. I am not talking about suffering that puts pressure on me so I run away from it. Our state must be that I am stressed because I have not reached what lies ahead, not because I must flee from something pressing on me from behind.
