Question: How can I open myself to the outer circle in order to bestow to them, without judging them, but instead lift them toward the Creator?

Answer: For this, you must first prepare vessels that will allow you to elevate others, and only then begin this work.

Question: You said that if we see that a friend does not strive for mutual responsibility, we should distance ourselves from him. What does it mean to distance yourself from a friend?
