And Again Up, and Again Higher

41.01Question: 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.

The Power of Purification

239Question: 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.

Questions about Spiritual Work—130

263Question: How can a ten give everyone the strength to act above reason?

Answer: Personal example is the most effective.

Question: When a person overcomes the body and feels joy, doesn’t he come to some measure of the body’s consent to act above reason? How can we go even higher in this case?

Answer: In this case, try to bypass this condition and still go by faith above reason. If not this time, then next time. Or change the basis a bit.

Question: If everything comes from the Creator, what are alien thoughts?

Answer: All our thoughts are alien, except for moving toward a common goal.

Question: How can you share your Hisaron in the ten so your friends will gladly accept it?

Answer: That is why you communicate all the time. Your friends feel and understand you and are permeated with your actions.

Question: What is the active bestowal during workshops, tens’ meetings, and actions for connection?

Think about Your Friends

Answer: First pray for your friends and then for yourself.

Question: Besides asking the Creator for a friend, can I help him with the power of my thought?

Answer: Of course you can. It will be better than asking the Creator for him.

Despite Criticism

942Question: When we try to annul ourselves in front of our friends, criticism immediately arises about what we see in them. How can we work with it?

Answer: We have a desire to criticize everyone and not leave any actions we see without criticism.

This quality is inherent in us initially in the form of desire. But if we do not want to agree with it, then we gradually eradicate this desire from ourselves.

Raise Faith above Reason

567.01Question: What does it mean to be in the properties of bestowal, in the properties of faith based on reason, above reason?

Answer: This means that you do not take into account reason, knowledge, but only faith above reason and act in this property.

You need to clearly understand what your egoism requires of you, limit it, and include only those properties that are higher than the ego.

Question: Does the ten receive faith first and then each receives private faith from it? Or do we add up our private faiths into the ten and get the faith of the ten on a different level?

Answer: We receive a common faith, and we share it among us according to our efforts.

The Purpose of Dissemination

938.05Comment: You say that dissemination depends on our internal unity. In theory, we want to convey some information. We gather together to do this.

My Response: We gather together for dissemination in order to unite and to find between us precisely the properties that connect us: mutual bestowal, mutual support, mutual guarantee, flexibility, connection, common bonding, even love.

We wish to clarify these properties. Why do we need all this? In order to then reveal the same properties in the rest of the world because the rest of the entire world (inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human nature), the entire mass represents the huge desire that must be completely, organically connected into one whole.

Then in this unified desire that is connected through common efforts, we will feel the property of bestowal and love, which we implement together. And this property of bestowal and love implemented jointly by us is called the Creator.

Prayer from the Common Connection

942Question: Based on our discussions, it seems important for us to reveal the Creator because we were chosen for this.

We should simply accept this as a fact and from this state form a prayer. What is special about such a prayer?

Answer: The fact that you want to find contact with the Creator and only through this contact, connection with Him.

Question: If I send a prayer to the Creator every morning after having united the hearts of all my friends by name into one heart, does this prayer have the power of the ten? How strong is this prayer even though I do it alone?

Answer: Ideally you should try to feel the response of the Creator in your common connection in the ten. If you persistently try to do this, you will start to feel it.

Increase the Feeling of Unity

938.07Question: When we listen to an article together, it goes through our feelings like music. But when we read it independently, we want to stop. Why?

Answer: Because you lose the support of your friends as you step out of that state.

Therefore, you need to persistently increase the state of unity within the ten.
