Question: How can people learn the right attitude toward one another without formal studying?

Answer: Only those who really have an inner urge, an inclination, and realization that it is necessary go to study. Otherwise, what is there to teach? The correct attitude?

A person learns the correct attitude on oneself based on their feelings and inner actions, from the fact that one feels bad and wants to find what is good. It is explained to them where to find a positive feeling so that a person can feel better thanks to one’s correct attitude toward people and toward the Creator. This is not acquired through formal study.

We study because we want to master the methodology to teach others. But when teaching a person, you should not simply sit them down to study. Why all of a sudden? These are natural processes that a person must undergo internally. Moreover, we see how few people are naturally suited for structured learning. It is meant only for those who will later teach others, but teach them practically how to act.

You might say, “Yes, but it is written that through study we draw the surrounding light upon us, and besides that, there is no other means.” Yet again, this applies only to those who must correct themselves as priests or teachers. Others correct themselves solely through their attitude. Just the attitude—nothing else is needed.

Sit and study for hours? Not at all! A person simply needs an explanation. They need a group that demonstrates how they should relate in order to reach the purpose of creation—union with the Creator. It is also necessary to teach that the Creator is the upper force that operates in nature. The more I obey this force, the more I merge with Him; and when I distance myself from Him, I get “spanked” like an unreasonable child because I am not merged with Him.

Today these words have lost their flavor and give people the impression that this is about religion. In reality, we are simply being taught how to fulfill the laws of nature. There is a universal law: if you do not follow it, you suffer. You must fulfill it through your attitude toward Him: as He relates to you, so must you relate to Him.
