If We Were Perfect

947Question: We all must come out to the light as one, together. What is the proper work between us in order to achieve this?

Answer: It lies in the fact that everyone strives to emerge from darkness into light and does this for the sake of their friends.

Question: What is the help we give to one another if we see everyone as perfect?

Answer: If we were perfect, we would have no work to do. We would simply be in a state of absolute bestowal to one another, and this state would be called the corrected world.

So we should not consider ourselves or our friends to be like that. After all, we understand that we are all in an uncorrected state and must begin from this point each time.

White Points on White Background

594Question: We are supposed to be in prayer all day, and before we even turn to the Creator, He will answer. How can we reconcile these two points? It seems like there are many blank spots.

Answer: Yes, each point is a blank spot, and they all connect together. But in order to connect them, you must continuously move forward. Gradually, you will see how your points blend into a common white background, on which your connections with your friends and the Creator will begin to emerge.

The Soul Is the Intention to Bestow

608.02Question: The Creator gives the soul, which means intention. So does the quality of the intention define the soul?

Answer: The soul can only be formed when there is an intention to bestow. To the extent there is this intention, the upper light descends upon a person, shapes them, and creates them within the quality of bestowal. The intention to bestow is called the soul.

Question: How can we understand that we are coming closer to the soul? What are the correct indicators?

Answer: The indicators are the connection between you, and through it, the connection with the Creator. In this work, we only have two steps: to reach the quality of the connection between us in the ten and then to connect this ten with the Creator. That’s all. Nothing more is needed.

The Need of the Soul

544Question: What does it mean that through the ten I receive the mind, which is the true spiritual Kli?

Answer: It means that everything you receive comes from the Creator through your friends. You feel how it descends upon you and compels you to act. Therefore, something very interesting happens here, friends influence you with their thoughts and force you to perceive both the internal and external in spiritual work.

Question: What do my friends have that is not in me, and by finding it, I will be able to achieve correction?

Answer: There is a certain need in you to feel the common desire, the common aspiration of your ten toward connection with each other and with the Creator. This is the need of the soul.

Question: What does it mean to be the material of the Creator in the ten and how do we receive correctly from the ten in order to bestow?

Answer: For this you need to try to be together all the time in lessons and spiritual work, try to imagine, see, and feel how much you can unite by making efforts. In unification, you will be able to feel new opportunities, new desires, new intentions, and thus move forward.

How Can We Speed Up Time?

Question: It is said that first you need to act, and then you will come to the level of  righteous and receive strength in faith above reason. How can we do it? For example, there are friends in the ten who cannot come to class. It lasts for months. How can they gain the strength to rise to faith above reason?

Answer: With prayer. It is said about this: “If you leave Me for one day,” the Creator says to man, “I will leave you for two days.” This happens very firmly. Therefore, we must make friends come to the lessons, pick them up, stop by, call them, etc.

I know myself how difficult it is to return to lessons after a long break.

Question: You said the Creator leaves us for two days if we leave Him for one. How does a person make up for these days? How can one speed up the times?

Answer: Only through lessons. We study in the morning and at noon. Anyone who wants can also connect in the evening. So you have all the conditions.

When Is Prayer Born?

289Question: Is a prayer born when I make efforts with the right intention?

Answer: It all depends on the strength of our connection, on how much we strive for bestowal between ourselves and above ourselves so as to transform all our initially egoistic relationships into bestowal.

After all, we do not have the power of bestowal. We build it by rising above our egoism and beginning to reformat it into the ability to bestow. We make the Creator out of ourselves. This is what the Creator said: “You make Me.” We really create Him.

A prayer is born when I make efforts with the right intention, either when I cannot make efforts and understand that I am not able to make them or when I can make efforts, but I understand that they are wrong and at the same time I do not have any others.

A prayer can be for any reason; the main thing is that its final direction is to the Creator. Then it can be called a prayer.

281.02Question: What can I bestow to the Creator in a state of enjoyment and a state of descent?

Answer: Whatever you feel, that is what you should bestow.

Question: When outwardly it seems that a friend cannot overcome some obstacle for many years and does not genuinely ask the ten for help, how can this state be identified?

Answer: It is difficult. Everything goes through the Creator; everything comes from Him. You need to ask Him to clarify your state for you.

Question: Do we need to chew over our descents to feel and experience them deeply?

Answer: No, not as much as you think. You should not dwell on, worry about, and chew over descents. The main thing is to get out of these states as quickly as possible.

Question: What can help us avoid falling into self-indulgence when we are in ascent and positive states from our connection with the Creator?

Answer: It is only if you support each other together.

Question: How is a new vessel of bestowal built during an ascent?

Answer: As I rise, I constantly check myself to see how much more I can bestow to the Creator.

Question: When we are in ascent, it is as if the Creator pushes us down, and when we are in a descent, the body says, “Why continue working in this state?” How can we maintain balance and connection with the Creator in these calculations?

Answer: For this you need to constantly stay connected with your friends so that your connection with the Creator is maintained through your unity, and then you will not go wrong.

The Fervent Desire of the Creator

239Question: When you were studying with Rabash and had certain complaints toward him, he would say: “Why didn’t you ask?” Is it the same request every time? Or does it change? What did he mean when he asked you that?

Answer: He meant that one must always turn to the Creator but only after properly clarifying the issue. That is, when I want to achieve such a connection with my friends that the Creator is revealed within it and by doing so I will give Him contentment because He desires to dwell within and fill the creation with everything He has.

This state is compared either to the suffering of a cow bursting from excess of milk, eager to give to everyone but no one is taking, or to the agony of a woman in labor who wants to give birth, but the moment of birth has not yet come.

Such a state is very intense. It is an inner state that the Creator experiences because the desire to bestow is much stronger than the desire to receive.

We need to imagine this state of His and prepare ourselves to ask, not because we want it, but because He needs it.

237Question: Can there be a state where we feel a strong connection with the Creator but simultaneously feel a sense of lack?

Answer: Yes, that can happen.

Question: How can this state be characterized? As a preparation for the next leap forward?

Answer: It does not matter, even if you cannot explain it. Do you truly understand the inner forces at work in such a state? The main thing is that we remain constantly directed toward the Creator through our connection with the friends.

Answer: Accept it with gratitude.

Answer: Ask the Creator for it. Constantly ask.
