We must always cut down the bad weeds around us, as they affect us—we must keep away from bad environments, from people who do not favor the path of truth. We need a careful watch so as to not be drawn to follow them.
This is called “isolation,” when one has thoughts of the “single authority,” called “bestowal,” and not “public authority,” which is self-love. This is called “two authorities”—the Creator’s authority and one’s own authority (Rabash, “Concerning the Importance of Society”).
All of this is clear; the problem arises only with the implementation. Each of us is under our own authority, and we do not understand what it means to be under someone else’s authority. “Does it mean I must become a slave? If there is authority, then there is an owner?”
In fact, we must be under the authority of the altruistic desire, instead of the egoistic one. It is very difficult for us to understand these things. We simply do not see where and how all this takes place.
But over time, through study and participation in the life of the group, if a person draws upon himself the influence of the small light, he gradually begins to awaken. Then he becomes capable of discerning the true nature of the distinction between public authority and single authority, the authority of the Creator and the authority of the creature, the quality of bestowal and the quality of reception. These details are revealed with great difficulty, yet once they are discerned, a person begins to understand what is unfolding before him.
“It is a long path,” said the sages, “but you can shorten it if you follow several pieces of advice.” The advice is simple. If you want to perceive yourself on a higher degree, in the next dimension, then build it, form it. Unite with those who desire the same, and together evoke the upper force, so that between you, in your common understanding and feeling, it will create a network that will become the next degree.
Everything takes place in a person’s perception. The Creator in Himself is unattainable; we perceive Him only in the relationships between all the parts of reality that are within our perception. If you change your attitude to reality, that very attitude will become your Creator (Boreh), from the words “Bo” (come) and “Reh” (see).
Right now, for you the Creator is the egoistic force that governs all of the reality you see. In this form you perceive and feel it. So change it through the reforming light. There is such a force that you awaken; it is your next degree.
All the degrees already exist in that dimension, in that “informational-force channel” from which you can receive everything. Connect and receive. If you want to know what will be tomorrow, you will know it. If you want to know how to carry out changes, you will know how. Just connect. This is the reforming light.
In general, our approach is this: unite with one another and evoke the light that will correctly realize this unity. We must demonstrate our readiness commensurate with the state we are in, and ask for correction.
For implementation, it is very, very simple. That is why the articles of Rabash about the group are so simple and straightforward. There are few in number, and all these materials can fit into a few dozen pages. In them is the entire method. Everything else are only additions that help attract the light. To describe how to organize the group in which we draw this light, ten pages are enough.
Thus, today our work is first of all to organize ourselves into the correct structure, and then to turn with a request for correction.
