Internal Heart Massage

245.11Question: We are used to material gifts. How can we learn to give and receive gifts when we are connected virtually?

Answer: It does not matter. It is not about a material gift where you give me some kind of party favor or box tied with a ribbon. We talk about giving each other gifts in order to feel connected.

The point is that you want to give me something nice, and I feel that you are giving to me from the bottom of your heart and want me to feel it in my heart.

We need to soften our hearts a little so that they begin to feel each other. Start doing such internal massages, each on one’s own heart, so that we feel our attitude toward each other.

Try to do such exercises as if you are rubbing your hearts together. Try to feel each other through the heart so that everyone’s heart feels the hearts of others. It will work.

Interchangeable Connection

938.02Question: How do you become included in the Creator in order to connect with everyone else there?

Answer: First we must connect with each other, from the love of friends to the love of the Creator. But sometimes we can also do the opposite because we are neither in this nor in that yet. Therefore, by wishing to connect with the Creator, we come closer to the friends. By becoming included in the Creator, we acquire strength and opportunity to connect with them.

Ask and Use

239Question: Is it possible to feel the spiritual reward so that I receive it not as a gift from above, but because I have actually earned it?

Answer: Of course. But what does it matter? The main thing is to yearn for the Creator all the time, to express our attachment to Him and our dependence on Him, and then we can advance. After all, no matter what we do, we can advance only with His force, with His mind, with what we receive from Him.

Therefore we do not need to make any calculations regarding what we should give Him. Ask and use everything you receive.

You ask the Creator like a favorite student asks for help from his teacher. Or the way a child feels that he cannot achieve something without his parents, and asks them for help. This is exactly what the teacher or the parents are waiting for and are happy to help with.

One must treat this with the heart. Nothing influences the Creator more than our heart.

Eternal Fire with the Creator Inside

275Question: I want to break through to the heart of every friend, but not everyone is ready to open their heart and accept you. How can one not lose the fire of love and continue to knock on his heart?

Answer: It is quite natural that a friend does not want to hear about it. This means he has healthy egoism.

You should try to reach him through other friends. Do not lose optimism because this is the purpose of creation. The “place” in the heart of a friend that you need to hit several times is your desire to be in his heart. In the end, everything will work out.

Question: I am sending “bullets” into the hearts of my friends, and they are sending “bullets” to me. The heart ignites, burns, and then it cools down a little. Is our task to turn the heart into an eternal flame? Can we survive it?

Answer: There are no problems. We can all burn together constantly with eternal fire, and the Creator will be inside it. He is the material that will burn within us.

No One Will Be Superfluous

938.02Question: Can there be love between the Creator and the friends? After all, there is only me and my neighbor. What is the difference between love for a friend and love for the Creator?

Answer: We want to love the Creator together, to unite in Him. We cannot connect with each other in any combination: neither man with man, nor man with woman, nor woman with woman. This is possible only if we are included in the Creator and unite in Him.

And then no one will be superfluous; we will all complement each other. This is what we should strive for.

The main thing is to achieve connection and love with the Creator. And the friends should take the same part in this as you do. Therefore you must be connected with them in order to come from love for your friends to love for the Creator. And if love for your friends already exists at least in some minimal form and it warms you, then you should turn to the Creator and ask Him to dwell in your common feeling.

Don’t Wither in the Ten

528.01The Creator gives a point in the heart and brings a person to a ten where he falls into the hands of his or her friends and feels safe. In this calm state, one begins to “fall asleep.”

And what should you do? You must take on some work in your own or in the world group and do it with all your might; otherwise, you will drown and wither in your ten.

Question: How can one come to a state where one person is responsible for the whole group?

Answer: When we connect, we turn into one man. This is how we appear before the Creator, as one man with one heart, one desire and one man from all of us together.

Recognize the Qualities of Jacob and Esau in Me

568.01Question: How can I recognize the qualities of Jacob and Esau in myself and work with them correctly?

Answer: Jacob is the quality for the benefit of the friends; Esau is only for his own benefit.

Question: Why does a person more often work only with the evil inclination?

Answer: Because it is our natural work. We consist of an egoistic desire to receive for our own sake. Therefore, in the beginning, the quality of Esau awakens in a person.

The Desire of the Creator

294.4The Creator wants only one thing from us: that we try to come closer to Him. Although it is against our egoistic desires, in the end, we will receive absolute fulfillment.

The Creator wants us to be filled with Him because He exists only in the desire to bestow. Therefore, by yearning to be filled with the quality of bestowal, we are filled with Him, become like Him, and reach absolute adhesion.
