What Is Our Life?

209Question: Please tell me, what is our life?

Answer: Our life is a form of existence of protein-based matter.

Question: But still…?

Answer: Still, from this life, we take its Reshimot (spiritual records), memories, and impressions and continue. A huge number of tiny grains of egoism, meaning corrupted desires created by the Creator, gradually go through purification, correction, and connection.

Comment: So, these small egoisms (7 to 8 billion of them) live their lives precisely in order to come to this, as you say.

My Response: Hell, purgatory, and paradise. Like in Dante’s works.

Hell is the feeling and realization of one’s egoism, of one’s lowly nature, and everything that can be said about it. Purgatory is when a person tries to correct it, to cleanse it. And paradise is when a person puts this egoism at the service of other people.

These are the three stages we must go through.

Question: So a person throughout his lives moves toward this final third stage?

Answer: Yes, and therefore, if people understand what these three stages are—hell, purgatory, and paradise—meaning, attainment of awareness of one’s egoism, its correction, and its proper use, then everything is fine. We must try.
