Question: “Why am I doing this? Who obliges me?” We ask these questions at the beginning of the work, and then it becomes our habit. What is the difference between faith and habit?

Answer: Habit is a second nature, as if you received it from above and it is not in your power to go against habit.

Faith is something that you must constantly support and strengthen by devoting strength, patience, and training to this.

Question: How do we set our heart in order so it can unite with others? What helps us to tune in correctly?

Answer: Open your heart and do not close it to your friends in the group. Try to do it.

We are now on the eve of the congress. Try to prepare your heart to be open to other friends you will meet in person or virtually during the congress.

In this case, in your common connection, you will feel that even silence can be very powerful. After all, when you come closer together and connect, there is a contact of the hearts. We need nothing more.

Question: I stopped being an example for my ten. It was important for me to awaken the hearts of my friends, but my selfishness has dragged me very deep inside and nothing helps. How can I get out of this state?

Answer: You must set an example for everyone about how to get out of this state. And no matter how you feel, you just need to open yourself up and connect with everyone. That is all.

Previously, the Creator gave you strength; you were a beginner. But now you have become wiser, you have all sorts of reasoning, and therefore you must appeal to the Creator.

You need a connection with your friends so that you can help each other achieve a state where you all demand intervention from the Creator.

Question: What should we ask and demand from the Creator during our common prayer?

Answer: You must ask for only one thing: to rise above your egoistic heart to the request for mutual unification. After all, each of us is just a small particle.

If we unite, then we will have the power to demand, ask, and convince the Creator so that He will raise us spiritually so we will not remain broken, separated, and worthless.

We will have a grand convention, and many friends in the tens will be in different parts of our planet. It is very important that everyone not just arrive or come to the convention, but that each will bring all the force of their ten to pass to the connection of the convention. Each friend should be perceived as a representative of the ten and will also give strength to his ten.

Based on this, we will gather in a mass in quantity and quality in which the Creator will manifest.

If a person comes to the convention himself, he has one small force; he cannot annul his egoism. But if he comes with the strength of ten, he already annulled his egoism and comes to the convention ready to unite. It will be a huge force.

Question: I feel like I am constantly working for a reward, but I understand that I just need to continue. How should I react correctly to such a state?

Answer: You need to be more integrated with the friends and then gradually it will be possible to move from corporeal work for a reward to spiritual work.

You can strengthen your intention to work for the Creator with all your might only through connection in the group. When the entire group unites with each other and is directed at the Creator, then we can already act. That is, we must connect all the previous pluses and minuses in ourselves and turn to the Creator.

Imagine that you open your hearts and let all the participants of the convention in. In this way we will unite with our friends in the ten, then in tens, in hundreds, and in thousands.

And the more we connect, the more we will feel the common Kli, the upper light that will come to us through all the friends.

All I need to do is to connect with everyone and carry through myself all this upper light, energy, and love for absolutely everyone.

Question: How do we awaken love for our friends?

Answer: If I think about it for a long time, if I try to connect with my friends and realize that otherwise I will not achieve the goal of creation and love for the Creator, then my heart gradually opens up, and I come to love my friends. We have to work on ourselves. It’s not easy.

Question: How can we plunge into the ocean of love at the convention, among so many friends and dear hearts where we all see and feel each other?

Answer: There is no hardship here. You just have to imagine that each of you opens your heart and lets all the participants of the convention in.

Question: Usually egoism does not allow us to accept love. How can we set our hearts to accept the love of our friends, to give them the opportunity to be bestowers?

Answer: This is a problem because in this case we feel obligated to others. This is what egoism resists.

Question: There is a powerful connection around the center of the ten. It is like a sphere in which the greatness of the Creator is revealed. When we move away from the center, connection is felt less. Is my task to feel the boundaries of connection and how to narrow or expand them?

Answer: No, by no means. You want the whole ten to be like one single whole.

What does it mean to believe that by all your actions you bring contentment to the Creator? At first, take it for granted.

We need to constantly think about how to bring contentment to the Creator, and therefore, we must always be ready for this state.
