Question: The unification of the right and left lines is similar to a pendulum. How can we guide it more quickly to the point where one transforms into the other and regardless of the amplitude, create a mechanism to help transform it into the middle line?

Answer: Indeed, on the spiritual path, we are like a pendulum swinging from side to side. First, it moves to the negative, toward the left side, accumulating egoism within us. Then, as we work in the group, study, and engage in dissemination, we draw the upper light causing the pendulum to swing to the right.

How can we increase the amplitude so that the pendulum swings in proportion to our actions and we gain control over it? This can only be achieved in the ten. There is no other way.

If we desire to be similar to the Creator, it must be through our mutual interaction within the group. For this, at least two people are needed: one works against the egoism of the other, which in turn means working against one’s own egoism. After all, as soon as someone appears before me, my egoism is triggered. Otherwise, I am in a purely animalistic state, merely seeking corporeal fulfillment.

It is only when I am faced with someone like myself and feelings such as envy, jealousy, competition, or various mutual relationships arise between us that true egoism is activated. It is through this that I can move forward.

The only way to accelerate this process is in a group, understanding that this is our collective challenge and acting accordingly.
