You Won’t Figure Out Anything Without The Light
Only the group can
give you the desire to change your nature, and only the Light can change it. And only then will
you really understand what bestowal is!
Today it seems to
me that bestowal is simply to bestow to others. But that is completely incorrect!
How is it possible
to bestow to others if in spirituality we unite as one whole without any differences
between us? To whom do I bestow in that case-to others or to myself?
Therefore, right
now we have absolutely no understanding of what bestowal is. This spiritual notion
seems to get lost somehow. If I ascend to some spiritual level and see that on
it everyone unites together, then it would seem like I have no one to bestow to;
I am the only one everywhere!
We cannot
understand this until the Light comes and gives us this spiritual vision. We,
egoists, think that bestowal is when we give to another person by overcoming
our lack of desire.

The Compass Pointing To The Creator
Question: How can I check that I am going
in the right direction?
Dr.
Laitman's Answer: You will
never be able to find this out. To do that you would have to know where is the
final goal and where are you. Then you could draw a straight line between the
two points and discern the right direction.
But if you
do not know these two points, then what can you do? And the fact is that you
will never find out what they are!
That is why
we have the group, which is the only opportunity to move toward the goal. You
have to become included in it, and the more you join it, the more it will mean
that you are moving in the right direction.
How can you
check this? The moment you really start to unite with them, inside that unity
among all of you, you will reveal the Creator. He will be your witness that
right now you are going in the right direction, and that is no fantasy!
This
evidence is the first supporting fact, and only then can you be sure that you
went in the right direction. Before that, it is written, "One made efforts and
found."
Efforts
should be made during the study of the primary sources in the group. Everything
else is auxiliary work.
