Question: How can the qualities of the three forefathers help us recognize where to begin our work?

Get Used to the Connection with the Creator

293.1Question: You always look optimistic. Is it possible to learn optimism from you?

Answer: Since there is a Creator above me who guides me, then, of course, I am constantly in joy and constant connection with Him.

If you believe the Creator controls everything and there is no one besides Him, then you must be connected to Him all the time and feel eternity and perfection. Get used to this and thank the Creator.

Question: Should we come to the ten with a smile, kindness, and warmth, regardless of whether you are an optimist or a pessimist?

Answer: In any case you must do what the Creator requires of you. Then you will see where you may get an opportunity to thank Him.

Question: What must our generation prepare for the next so they can complete the correction?

Answer: We must address what is revealed to us as deficiencies in our state or in our vessels, strive to correct them, and leave them for the next generation. To properly utilize the achievements of our forefathers, we must pray that our deeds align with theirs.

Questions about Spiritual Work—205

591Question: We often hear a friend say: “I cannot give any more.” How should we work with this “I cannot”?

Answer: Offer your help. By helping them, you help yourself. So there is no need for either of you to think that you are taking away part of their work or pushing them forward. All of this comes purely from the attribute of bestowal.

Question: In the Psalms of David, the phrase “Seek My face” is often repeated. Does seeking the face of the Creator mean seeking joy?

Answer: Seeking the face of the Creator means seeking His revelation. It is more than joy.

Question: When we are in a state of descent, we most often feel bitterness. How can one find joy in such a state?

Answer: Think about the proper state: the Creator lifts you up, you connect with Him, you feel how He embraces you and holds you like an infant, and you cling to Him and find joy in that.

Question: All sources say that in the multitude of people the greatness of the Creator increases. How can each ten include the global group in its prayer to increase the joy of the Creator?

Answer: In your intentions and nothing more.

Question: We speak of the need to feel joy and love for the Creator. What should we do to bridge the gap between hearing about it and actually experiencing it?

Answer: You need to lift your mood automatically, both for yourself and for others, through yourself. Try it and you will see what it brings.

Develop the Desire to Bestow

283.02Question: What can a person do if he has no desire (Hissaron)? How can he listen to two other voices: bestowal for the sake of bestowal and reception for the sake of bestowal?

Answer: If a person has no desire, no Hissaron, he will not listen to anything.

The most important thing is to develop a desire to hear the Creator, to feel Him. If such a desire does not exist, we cannot do anything except pray for the Creator to grant us this desire in which we can discover what He wants to give us.

We must strive to receive from the Creator, not because we want to receive for ourselves, but because He desires it.

Question: How can one receive what the Creator wants?

Answer: It is said that a person can reveal his desires to receive from the Creator only if his intention is to use this reception to bestow to the Creator. That is what is called receiving for the sake of bestowal. That is the mindset we need to cultivate.

Blessing in Everything

938.04Question: What does it mean to receive blessings from all sides?

Answer: From women, from men, from those who are distant and those who are close, from friends, and the Creator, a person must strive to restore and maintain his connection with all these sources. Gradually he will begin to sense that he can receive fulfillment through these connections.

Question: What does it mean to receive a blessing in the ten?

Answer: It means that within the ten, there is a feeling of the Creator addressing them. In this case, they can connect and direct the connection emerging between them toward the Creator. In this way, they establish contact with Him.

Question: How can perfection in the ten be achieved?

Answer: By each person desiring to receive with the intention to bestow to the other.

When Will We Know the Truth?

626Question: How can one rejoice in the past when they realize that they lived like an animal and manipulated the lives of others?

On one hand you understand that it all came from the Creator, and it was the Creator who plunged you into the abyss. But this is not an excuse because even then you could have made the right choice, but did not.

Answer: You could not have made it. When we come to the future world, then we will know the whole truth. For now we must continue to act and attribute more and more of everything that happens within us to the Creator.

Dance of the Soul

938.02Question: What is the inner dance of the ten that gives unceasing joy?

Answer: If we are constantly looking for an ascent, then we will naturally begin to descend and rise from it. Such ascents and descents are called a dance that we must remain in; that is, we need to constantly seek how to rise to spirituality and beware of being lowered.

Our egoism will always work to lower us, and we must be grateful to it for the opportunity for another ascent. This is the correct work with our egoism.

Question: Is this ascent of the soul, the dance of the soul, and love for the Creator a support within knowledge?

Answer: No, all this is above knowledge. Within reason we do not see, feel, or sense any taste.

Question: How can you make the ascents and the descents happen at a fast pace so that the joy never stops?

Answer: You must be responsible for the state of spirit in your ten, and then you will achieve a lot.

Care for the World

254.02We need to tell people about the causes of the multifaceted, multilateral global crises: political, economic, spiritual, moral, climatic, etc. because it is practically one crisis.

We must explain to everyone what state we are in. Until there was a global crisis, we were silent. We spoke about ecology and economics and how they were heading toward collapse, but these were empty conversations. Now that we see with our own eyes what is happening in the world, in society, in everything, and everywhere, it has become easier for us to explain this.

We, as the last generation, as representatives of the Creator, can truly do everything possible for people to understand this.

Each of you is unique in that you have received such a desire, aspiration, and connection with the next level of humanity, to which it has yet to ascend. You already have some kind of contact with this level; therefore, you must explain how to master it, how to transition to the next level, and what to do with it.

This is your mandatory mission. This is why you are living. You do not exist for yourself. And thank God, we understand that a person cannot exist for his own sake; after all, the upper world is entirely about bestowal.

Therefore you should constantly use every opportunity to post your notes and articles, to reprint what we write, and to adapt it to the reader you are addressing. This is permanent, mandatory work, and there can be no excuses here. You have no idea how this benefits you.

You will feel that your mind and feelings, your heart and head, will open up as a result of your care for the correction of the world. After all, we are like a guiding group, like a head. By itself it cannot exist if the body does not exist. Therefore we must think about how to disseminate.

Dissemination for Everyone

560Question: Should we engage in dissemination for elderly people?

Answer: An elderly person is still a part of the global soul! What difference does it make that they are elderly?! The important thing is that they can hear.

Let us say they have five years left to live, these are incredibly significant years! They will think about it because physical death is approaching and possibly some kind of connection with an eternal state.

The elderly are more fertile ground than the youth. Do not neglect them.
