Question: What does it mean that regardless of my state, faith will compel me to action?

Answer: When you see that if you remain inactive, you will fall and drag others down with you, then this compels you to act and support others.

Question: How do you rise and fall to the degrees of friends to feel them while remaining on your degree?

Answer: For this, you must perform all actions and strive for your friends to rise with you, and you will unite on a common upper degree.

Answer: All our thoughts come from the Creator. He wants us to examine them, choose the ones we want to implement, and thus turn to Him with this request.

Question: What does “those of little faith” mean?

Answer: “Those of little faith” means a person who has little faith in the Creator.

Question: The Creator desires a sincere inner connection with Him from us. We also want this very much. But why does the Creator not allow us to do it?

Answer: He does allow you to do this, but He increases various obstacles so that you connect with Him even more strongly.

Question: Our thoughts are also prayers. Why is it considered better to whisper your thoughts?

Answer: Because then a person hears himself.

Question: What is the difference in the Creator’s response to a person’s prayer when one asks from a state of recognition of evil versus when one asks from a state that is not yet actualized?

Answer: If you turn to the Creator from an unrealized state, He practically does not respond or He responds with guiding states so you eventually understand what He wants from you.

Question: Do we have the right to change anything in the world, or only to bestow?

Answer: Only to bestow.

Question: What is the difference between the preparation stage and the state when a person is already in adhesion with the Creator? Is the stage of revealing evil behind us?

Answer: No, everything continues because the steps go up.

You rise’ there are problems, there is a solution, there is adhesion, and so on. And up again, and up again. Therefore, for us, this is only the beginning of the ladder of spiritual ascent.

Question: Why is the desire to bestow called the power of purification?

Answer: It purifies our egoistic desire and completely orients it toward bestowal.

Question: Now we are praying out of selfishness. What will help us move on to true prayer so that it comes from the quality of bestowal?

Answer: The Creator gradually, imperceptibly to us, changes our desires and sensations so we move from one part of understanding our nature to another.

In the ten this transition is carried out individually for everyone: for one sooner, for another later, depending on one’s qualities and actions.

However, we do not need anything but an urgent request to the Creator, tenacity, and perseverance.
