Question: Should we take the idea contained in what we are studying and pass it on to everyone?

Answer: You cannot convey this idea to the people because these are completely abstract things. The people may perceive it as something even somewhat rational because they themselves are in an irrational state.

What does he have in his hands that would allow him to say that he is relying on something in life?

Humanity has yet to discover how suspended in the air it is; it lacks support. It has nothing; its entire basis, its illusory confidence in what to do and how to do it—all of this is in the material, and even that will soon slip out of people’s hands, will literally leak through their fingers. They will be like a lost child who stands and cries, who is afraid to take a step, who does not know where his mother is and what to do.

We must approach this in a “rational” way—rational for them, that is why it is in quotes—and every time, at every stage, we need to give them a logical explanation of what we recommend for them to do, to perform, to advance to.

If today I go to the people and say, “You do not understand how much your thoughts affect the world. And there is no need to change anything except our attitude, our intention, and our thoughts about the world, about the universe, and about the upper force”—everyone will think that I am, to put it mildly, detached from reality.

“Alright, I have changed my attitude. And what happened, where is it? What can we do? We are dealing with life and death issues; people have to eat something, to fill themselves with something, and you are talking about some thoughts, some attitude to reality that changes it? And this is what you came to the world with?! What are you telling us here! What did you come to advise us?”

But you might be right. Even scientists are already discovering that a person can influence with thought. And besides, there are such refined, elevated people who also say that we need to treat each other differently, and then we will change the world, and it will become more beautiful. That is, if we treat each other better, our world, our general perception will change. That is true. But where is the proof that if we change our attitude to the world just because this is the general law of the universe, we will gain something from it?

That means you are bringing the Creator here. You are telling them this not from a social point of view, like the well-meaning socialists who say: “Let us create a wonderful society, let us care for one another…” and everyone understands that it would be great if we could achieve this.

But you tell them, “No, that is not why we should be kind. We should be kind because in this we become like the upper force, which will then change everything and affect us in a completely different, astonishing way, from which all the foundations will change! Not only will the relationships between us change, even nature will change—everything will change!” In this case, you are applying a parameter that they neither understand nor feel. You are introducing the Creator into the picture!
