True Bestowal

608.02Question: What does true bestowal mean? Is it when my desire to receive becomes giving?

Answer: It means that I work on our connection in such a way that I receive everything for the sake of bestowal, channel the light of the Creator through myself, and pass it on to others.

As a result, I too am filled, but my goal is to fill everyone else.

Feel an Ascent at the Convention

934Question: What can each ten do before the convention so that everyone feels only ascent during the convention?

Answer: To achieve this, the ten must first unite and arrive at the convention in this united state. Since there will be many such tens at the convention, you will be able to receive a lot of light that will correct you, and after the convention, you will feel how much you have risen.

A Righteous or a Sinner?

207Question: In the article “The Concealed Things Belong to the Lord Our God,” Rabash talks about a situation where a person is seen as righteous in the eyes of society, but is a sinner in their personal work. Does this mean he is talking about some kind of false righteousness?

Answer: That doesn’t matter. From the perspective of society, it is seen that he fulfills everything and behaves like a righteous person. But within himself, he sees many flaws and therefore feels that he is still a sinner.

Question: What is the danger in a person considering himself righteous?

Answer: It leads him away from correct actions. He cannot draw closer to the Creator. In principle, if he considers himself righteous, then he should already be somewhere close to the Creator.

Question: Could it be the opposite, that in the eyes of society a person is a sinner, but he is righteous in intention?

Answer: These are very rare cases. Usually, this is done by the Creator Himself to protect the person or to do something special with him.

How Can We Evaluate the Actions of the Creator?

251Question: We learn that if the Creator delights us at each moment, there is always a way to treat it with love. How do we relate to it if we do not feel this?

Answer: You do not. First you must reveal the Creator through His influence on you, and only then will you be able to evaluate these actions.

But if you still do not see what He is doing to you even though He is the one doing it, you cannot come to any conclusion and act based on it.

Truth Cannot Hinder

626Impure and pure are in one’s feelings. A person may be sick, but if he does not feel the illness, he does not go to the doctor to be cured. It follows that in his feelings, he is well, although, in truth, he is not. It depends with respect to whom it should be true (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 138, “A Near Road and a Faraway Road”)

Question: If everything depends on who the truth is regarding, then it follows that not everyone needs the truth. What is meant here by the concept of truth?

Answer: I cannot define what the truth is right now. But indeed, not everyone needs the truth. Most people do not need truth but good health, a good life, health, etc. And whether it is true or not does not matter. So we still have to figure it out.

Question: It is clear that a person always wants comfort. But does everyone need the truth to develop the soul, or can it hinder someone from developing the soul?

Answer: Truth cannot hinder. Truth is the main driving force in one’s genuine movement toward a goal.

Question: In our ten, exactly what you are talking about is happening: someone wants things to be good while others want correction. I always talk about hate, about evil, about revelation. My prayer is constantly about this. But some do not want to hear it. How should I work correctly?

Answer: The ten is right, it is better to talk about good things.

Question: So if I am in such a state, should I not talk about it, but just join the opinion of the ten?

Answer: Not only you do not talk about such states, you remake yourself.

Pain of the Soul

278.02Question: Why must a person’s soul languish in order to receive mercy? The root of the soul is love. What is the meaning of pain of the soul?

Answer: In our world, nothing can be revealed except through its opposite quality. Therefore, to the extent that you yearn, empathize, and suffer, you can reveal love, an attraction to another. This is how you form connection.

Any quality in our world is revealed only through its opposite. You should try to achieve this.

Integrate with Everyone

942Question: I am coming to the convention where there will be a lot of different people. What does it mean to integrate with everyone at the convention based on the corrected form of my ten?

Answer: You integrate into your ten just as all its other members do, and in this state, you come to the convention.

During the convention, each participating ten maintains its own structure while being ready to connect with other tens without breaking their internal unity. In this way you will see how you all unite and what happens to you as a result.

The Force of a Spiritual Minute

282.01Question: If one minute of connection with spirituality is considered a great achievement, then what is a small spiritual thing?

Answer: A small thing means something partial. In some way, somewhere, somehow we are connected with the Creator. Therefore, we gather these minutes together until they reach their full state.

Question: There are days when the corporeal world takes over. Can this conditional spiritual minute outweigh the whole day on the scale of merits?

Answer: Of course it can because the spiritual forces that we receive from above are much stronger than the corporeal ones. If we wish for them to rule over us, then our egoism will not have the strength to separate us from the spiritual forces.
