Question: In an ordinary society, we are afraid that our egoism will be hurt and we try to pacify it. Why is it in the ten that egoism breaks through without restrictions; why is it so uncontrollable?

Answer: Because it is in the ten that we have to correct it. But we do not know what the level of initial egoism depends on. This is how our initial conditions and many other parameters with which we are born are set.

Question: What can I do if I understand in my mind what the recognition of evil is, but I cannot feel it in my heart?

Answer: Ask all the time without stopping like a child who wants something and you cannot get rid of him in any way. This is the way you should ask.

Question: We should not wait for compensation for our egoism. But what if there are a lot of thoughts about this compensation in my head? How can I calm them down, how can I fight them off? It is impossible to find a foothold; there is confusion in my head.

Question: You say we should feel the friend, connection, and merging into one heart. But I have never felt this. Although I feel the result of my friends becoming greater for me, and I see our commonality, I am glad that we are together, but nothing more. What effort should I make to make these feelings more accurate and more precise, or should I not strive for this?

Answer: You need to try to open your heart a little. Do various exercises to connect with your friends and you will be able to expand your heart gradually so that you will be closer to the Creator.

Question: No matter how hard I try, I do not feel the friends. Can I pray to the Creator to give me this sensitivity?

Answer: Of course you can. This is a very good request. The Creator will hear it with pleasure.

Question: How, without adding my egoism, can I pass a friend’s desire to the Creator in its purest form?

Answer: Do not worry about the Creator. To the extent of your exertion, desire, and yearning to pass to the friend, the Creator will feel it all perfectly.

Question: How can we harmoniously enter the symphony of hearts?

Answer: You should be connected with your friends in the ten and try to complement each other all the time so that you can feel and understand each other’s hearts. And then you will feel how mutually connected you are and that the Creator is playing on your common heart.

The Creator is like a bow of a violin, and we are like strings. Try to develop your connection so that the melody of the relationship between you and between you and the Creator is played all the time.

Question: If everyone’s heart is a musical instrument, do we play like an orchestra or are we all a single instrument?

Answer: We are either one instrument that includes absolutely everything or a multitude of instruments playing like an orchestra. But it does not matter. The main thing is that there should be consistency between us.

Over time, we will learn and feel how all nature plays—birds, animals, people, fish, no matter who and what—everyone is included in this game, and everyone eventually praises the Creator.

Question: How can we become a bow in the ten? Sometimes when I play, I feel that it causes rejection in others.

Answer: The main thing is to hold hands together and move forward. One word and another that you all understand together, and advance this way.

Question: How does our rational calculation around a gift turn into a feeling of love?

Answer: It is necessary to repeatedly give to a friend until you pierce his heart’s sac, in which the heart is located, and he will feel that you penetrate his inner feelings. By doing this, you will cause a reaction in your friend, even if he initially did not want it. And then you will see that he begins to treat you warmly.

This is the law, this is how we were created.

Question: There is a state when there is no strength to make a gift. Do we have to wait for the right moment, or can we make some effort?

Answer: Even if there are no such feelings, you need to try and give each other examples.

Question: I really like to give gifts, but at the same time I know that somewhere subconsciously I expect a reaction. How can I do it without expecting a reward?

Answer: You do not need to do anything for free. You want to give gifts to everyone and to the Creator in order to achieve a common state of love and connection with everyone. At the same time, you really want to feel this state, and for everyone to participate in it.

Question: If a friend gives a gift unconsciously, then in addition to the feeling of love, there is also a shame for a friend. Why is this given?

Answer: This is an indicator that your hearts are not yet fully open to each other. It is necessary to open them more, and then you will not be ashamed of any relationship between you.

Question: The Creator gives me different thoughts and I am afraid that my friends will find out about them. Who should be responsible for this? Where is He? Where am I? What am I responsible for? What should I pass to Him?

Answer: Until you reveal everything that is in you to the Creator and to your friends, you will not correct yourself. And so it is for each of us.

We are talking about spiritual thoughts. We are interested only in how we can connect and help each other. And the fact that each of us is a small animal does not interest us.

Question: What does it mean to “open myself completely to the Creator”? I am already in before Him as if in the palm of His hand.

Answer: Do not hide your love for Him from the Creator.

Question: Is it true that the human degree is a degree where we are collectively one man, and not each a person individually?

Answer: Yes. Eventually, when we all unite as one man with one heart and fully feel each other, we will again come to the degree of “one man,” the degree at which the Creator originally created us. In the meantime we see each other separately. This is called the “wild donkey” degree.

We will move into the human degree when the feeling of giving to another is revealed in us.
