Everything that is happening to us now is organized by the upper force. Our job is to begin to feel that the Creator has made room for us to fill this free space with His properties, forces, intentions, and actions. This is called revealing the Creator in the reality that we find ourselves in.

There are no distant otherworldly worlds. We are in one reality called “the world”—our desire. In this desire, we need to reveal the properties of the Creator. All of this reality is our desire that we need to correct, and then the world will be filled with the properties of the Creator. This is how we reveal Him: “by His actions we will know Him” inside our desire, and not somewhere outside.

That is, we need to understand that everything that I feel in my reality happens only in my desire. It seems to me that there is me and this world, but in fact, everything happens inside desire. The whole question is how to change and correct your desire so that it is filled with the presence of the Creator.

Question: What does it mean to fill reality with the presence of the Creator?

Answer: The whole of reality, except for one point where I feel my “I,” is the Creator. There is nothing else. There is none else besides Him, and we are inside the upper force. The question is, how do we reveal this? This is a matter of perception (revelation) of reality.

The revelation of the upper force begins with the fact that we find ourselves in concealment. Our point is located in the AHP of the upper degree (in its lower rear part).

The whole world is the AHP of the upper, its reverse side, which has been emptied of all light, and therefore we do not feel the presence of the Creator in the world. But if we restrict ourselves relative to this world, we become a fetus in the mother’s womb, and the upper will begin to work on us and raise us.

To restrict oneself means, instead of your current perception of the world, to feel the Creator and the reverse side of the upper degree. This will change my whole behavior. After all, how would I behave if I knew I was in the upper? I would probably completely annul myself before Him; the only problem is that I do not feel Him.

But why did the upper restrict Himself and not let me feel Him? He wants to give me freedom of choice, so that without feeling the Creator, I behave as if He fills me! That is, I do not act like a child who is home alone, but behave well and correctly, as if my parents are next to me.

Question: What does it mean to fill reality with the properties of the Creator?

Answer: This means being as close as possible to the quality of bestowal. The very first action required of us egoists is restriction. I restrict my ego, try to be like the upper all the time, and behave as if He fills the whole world.

This is called: “No one will help me but myself.” I do not feel the upper force, but I act as if it is next to me. I do not act like a child left to my own devices, but as if my parents were home. It turns out that I need to build a spiritual program within myself.

But I do not know how to do it, so I ask the upper, and He starts playing with me.
