Earthly and Divine Existence: What Comes After the Earthly Experience?

Q1: Tell us about true prayer.

A: First, I need to understand what you mean by "true prayer" and who you seek to connect with so that we can determine whether it is genuine prayer or not. If you are speaking about prayer directed to the Source, it is rooted in neutrality, innocence, sincerity, and clarity. The more you strengthen these qualities, the closer your connection becomes. Conversely, if you engage in deception and lack clarity and innocence, you disconnect from it.

Q2: A believer is content with what God has decreed, in both good and bad times.

A: No one decrees your destiny for you; you are the one who chooses and lives what you have chosen. Even servitude is a choice made by those who opt to live in submission and meekness. Everyone lives their own unique destiny. The spirit chooses how to assert its existence—whether through love, sincerity, and clarity or through hatred, violence, oppression, and manipulation. The two approaches are worlds apart, and each person is rewarded according to their deeds. You are confined by what you do and by the energy you emit and carry within. Ultimately, everything is just and balanced; there is no flaw in the divine system, as everyone receives according to what they show and conceal.

Q3: How can I stop my thoughts?

A: Through silence. Silence eradicates all poisonous thoughts, just as fasting eliminates all evils. Therefore, you must remain silent until all the "ghosts" disappear. These ghosts represent the judgments and negative perceptions your mind has formed about the past.

Q4: Where do thoughts come from?

A: A thought is a ghost of something that does not exist, a mere consolation one gives oneself. Thoughts come to a person who cannot bear silence due to a distorted relationship with it. They perceive silence as annihilation, so they occupy themselves with thinking, even when alone. The immediate purpose of these thoughts is to validate their false sense of presence, which manifests in constant activity, whether mental or physical. Such individuals find stillness and tranquility deeply challenging.

Q5: Does rational power drive thought?

A: In this case, you are not speaking of the type of thoughts mentioned earlier, which refer to uncontrolled patterns and illogical tendencies. Instead, you are asking about the essence of thought itself, which is a separate matter.

Q6: Do thoughts stem from past memories or hormonal imagination?A: Yes, that is why we said they are negative perceptions of past events that need to be eliminated. These thoughts are unhelpful; they represent energy struggling to remain in your mind and imagination, refusing to fade away or surrender to the flow of time. Instead, they linger as false consolations for something that has already died.

This type of thinking prevents you from being present in the moment, which is the cornerstone of spiritual awakening. It seeks to confuse you and drag you into conflicts with the past. Thus, a person must disassociate themselves from these thoughts and struggles as the future disassociates itself from the past. As long as such thoughts invade them, they cannot attain awareness.

Q7: What is awareness, and how is it connected to being present in the moment?

A: Awareness is continuous connection with the moment. Its precise definition is the connection with the divine presence in the present. We have often emphasized that the moment is eternal, where the past and future converge. It is not a mere fragment of time, as some believe. 

When a person is aware, they are present with the Divine. This means neither they nor the Divine are absent from one another. They share a unified presence. Some mystics describe this concept as "fusion" or "union," but in reality, it is a single essence or nature. Duality arises—between "self" and "the Divine"—only when one is absent from the other. This absence creates the distinction. When divine presence is obscured by thoughts, fears, or what is generally referred to as "the veil," duality emerges.

The Source simultaneously experiences and is experienced through a reciprocal dynamic—precisely a process of reception and transmission. Therefore, when I say one must remain in the present, I mean that if you become absent, it is as though you exist in one dimension and the Source in another.

Q8: Why are humans on Earth, and why do we live for a certain time before we die?

A: This is known as the earthly experience, which represents the lowest stage of awareness. In this material existence, we experience limited and embodied consciousness. Here, we test the absence of God—not in the literal sense, for God is infinite, while we exist in a finite realm. Hence, we metaphorically describe it as the absence of God.

God has no form and does not require one. In this experience, beings attempt to affirm their existence through the body. However, at a certain point, they can transcend the body and move toward a higher, more refined existence where physical affirmation is no longer necessary. As long as you operate within limits—what we call "knowledge" derived from finite intellect—you remain imprisoned. You cannot experience divine presence because you lack awareness. Awareness opens windows in your finite mind and body toward an infinite and divine existence.

Q9: Do these beings embody the Divine in the universe?

A: These beings experience the lowest levels of divine existence. We cannot entirely claim the absence of God, for we are alive, breathing divine light, and utilizing other divine names. A person is freed from this low awareness when they attain what mystics call "the opening" or, in Buddhism, the activation of unified energy. This energy overcomes sensory fragmentation, leading first to unity within oneself and eventually to unity with all existence.

This opening leads to a subtler realm than this material world, requiring fewer boundaries and causes. It prepares one to transition to that realm while still here.

For instance, consider that in this earthly dimension, you are exposed to higher truths. You are given lessons in a "book" to learn what you need to advance to the next level. The test—whether of the Source or divine transcendence—is to live the higher within the lower. If you succeed on a small scale, you move to the larger scale. If you fail, you retake the test; in cases of regression, you may descend to even lower levels of experience.

Put simply, when a person gains insight into higher realms and establishes a connection with them, they can draw meanings and capabilities. If they successfully apply them in their current dimension, they are ready to inhabit the higher dimension. Otherwise, they repeat or regress.

Q10: What is the role of the Matrix in this test?

A: The limited mind's Matrix questions the exits beyond its boundaries, making you believe there is nothing beyond this earthly farm and that nothing can exist outside it. This Matrix convinces you that your life must be confined to this body and its limitations.  

Each individual will be granted enlightenment if they follow the path revealed to them. They will gain features and abilities to ascend to the next dimension. For instance, wisdom is a higher trait; if you can live by it in the earthly realm, you deserve to ascend to the next level.  

Q11: Do you believe in life after death, or is it merely an illusion?

A: Yes, there is life after death.  

Q12: What kind of life exists, and how?

A: This question is structurally flawed. You are asking about "how," but our vocabulary is filled with limitations derived from this world. We cannot definitively say life after death will be like this or that because all modes of understanding are rooted in this world's boundaries.  

It is a mistake to use limited tools to define something beyond their scope or abilities. Hence, we cannot discuss the "how" of life after death as we only know the "hows" of this world. What we can say is that life beyond these boundaries does not conform to them. Anything beyond this risks forcing that life to resemble or align with this one.  

Q13: The Matrix disrupts your perception, urging you to discard your inherited traditions and customs into the trash.

A: Absolutely, that is its purpose. Everything you have been burdened with by those who sought control over your free spirit is nothing more than walls to be broken and chains to be undone for liberation.  

Q14: Anything you respond to is a product of your mind. Your mind becomes angry, stubborn, judgmental, vengeful, and hurt. But the moment you stop being a slave to your mind, tell me, where is the anger?

A: Yes, the problem lies in the limited mind devoid of spiritual windows. It pressures you and others, acting as the Matrix’s hidden spy within you, drawing you into its disruptive agenda against the divine human project.  

Q15: The mind is a tool to distinguish between 1 and 2.

A: The mind is binary, generating dualities that always trap you between two choices: this or that. In reality, life is far deeper than these limited, binary options.  

Q16: Why are all kind-hearted souls sad?

A: Because they live their destiny—a destiny of absorbing evil. Evil is a chain: someone wrongs another, who in turn wrongs someone else, and so on. But when it encounters a kind soul, the chain stops. The kind soul absorbs and halts the evil, which is why they are sad.  

Q17: In the first exercise, concerning the fetal position, how can I replace it due to leg issues?

A: You don’t need to perform this position. All you need to do is achieve contraction by tensing and then relaxing your nerves. That is the goal of the posture.  

Q18: How can I heal myself? I feel out of control, with stress, sensitivities, and food intolerances. I try to stop harmful habits like excessive indulgence, but I fail to persist. How do I begin?

A: In life, energy must flow and cannot be confined. If you don’t manage your energy, it manifests in distorted, uncontrollable patterns.  

Answering your question requires a long journey of self-work. You must learn to feel and control yourself. I cannot sell you illusions by prescribing a simple "do this, don’t do that." There are innate capacities in humans that, if not expressed positively, emerge negatively. For example, anger is a reversed form of determination and perseverance—it becomes anger because people don’t know how to channel their energy.  

As advice, start by introducing something new and productive into your life. Don’t focus on eliminating negative patterns. Instead, find positive ones, and they will gradually replace the negatives. Energy will manifest—whether in creation or destruction, beauty or ugliness. You cannot suppress it.  

By introducing a constructive, positive activity, you will overcome harmful habits over time. Fighting negativity with negativity is futile and only amplifies it. It’s like being in darkness—lighting a single candle is enough to dispel it, rather than cursing the dark. Humans are meant to act, and if they don’t do good, they will do harm.
