The sensation of connections between us is called the world. The worlds themselves do not exist. We should not think that when we climb the spiritual ladder, we enter the first, second, or third floor. These floors do not exist; they are all within us, and we form them from our relations with one another.

Therefore, the word “world” comes from the word “Nehelam”—disappearing or approaching. That is,  we are the ones who create the worlds, our specific relationships.

If they reach the above-egoistic properties at the first level, then we begin to sense ourselves in the world of Asiya. That is already a spiritual world, meaning a state where we can give and receive, but not in the same way as our world.

It seems to us that here we, too, give and receive. In reality, we only receive all the time since we are unable to give. Even if physically we give, we still pursue the goal of receiving. We can never do anything opposite to our original desire.

Therefore, everything that exists at the level of our world and in our state today requires correction. We have to establish connections between us where we always want to give to one another both in intention and in action, to fulfill one another and do something that the other one desires.

Thus we will come to the state where relations between us will begin to form the next world—a higher state where a property of bestowal manifests at the first egoistic level appears in us.

Therefore, there is more selfishness in everyone who rises higher. It is on it that he builds his relationships with others in giving to them and thus feels himself to be in an increasingly higher world.

He feels his existence in some property of bestowal, perhaps only to 5 to 10%, but this is already some revelation of the Creator. In this way, he begins to understand the concept of nature, its creation and origination, its development, and the transformations he and this nature go through. That is the way we go through our development.
