Pressure, Focus, and the Perfect Human: Returning to the Center

 In our discussion of restoring human sovereignty, we reached last time a set of ideas concerning how a human being can reclaim his centrality and sovereignty over himself. Today, we want to pause at a fundamental condition that cannot be bypassed: restoring the concepts of pressure and focus to their original meaning.

There is a common and distorted understanding of these two concepts. Many people regard pressure as something harmful that should be eliminated, and focus as a state that should be reduced until a person reaches relaxation. Yet in this context, this understanding is completely reversed. Pressure and focus are not enemies of the human being; rather, they are among the most important conditions that enable him to preserve his sovereignty, protect his structure, and continue along the path that leads him toward his purpose.

Excessive Relaxation as a Vulnerability

Before entering into the concept of pressure and focus, it is important to return to what we discussed previously concerning the attempt to penetrate the center, or what we called the sacred ground.

We said that penetrating the center makes manipulation possible. When a person loses his focus, he becomes more susceptible to manipulation, because a person who does not concentrate on something specific is easier to deceive, persuade to change his opinion, redirect his orientation, and deprive him of awareness without his noticing.

Therefore, the important question is: Why would anyone want a human being to remain permanently relaxed and unfocused?

The reason is that excessive relaxation lowers defenses. When a person's defenses are lowered, he begins to believe that there is no danger. As a result, the sensitivity that enables him to recognize the destructive and corrupting influence and distinguish it from what is different becomes weaker. The person enters a state closer to sedation or hypnosis, allowing processes of replacement and alteration to pass without resistance.

Here we return to the principle we proposed earlier:

If something is complete, why does it need to be replaced or changed?

This principle is simple, but extremely important. If something is complete, there is no necessity to change it. Therefore, the process of change usually does not begin by telling a person that what he has is complete, but by convincing him that there is a deficiency or defect that requires change. Even more dangerous is pushing a person into believing that his mere desire to change something is itself evidence that there is a defect in the thing he wants to change.

In this way, the desire for change itself becomes a vulnerability through which the structure can be penetrated.

The matter does not concern merely a simple change. It can extend to changing the very identity of the human being. When a person no longer knows who he is, he may become his own enemy without realizing it, because he no longer possesses a foundation through which he can belong to himself or distinguish himself from others.

Identity, Belonging, and Distinction

Identity exists fundamentally to distinguish a human being from others. A person knows himself through his identity, and this identity is nourished by belonging.

As for a person without identity or personality, he becomes more susceptible to hesitation, doubt, and uncertainty. This particular state makes his occupation or penetration easier, because he no longer possesses clear boundaries between himself and what lies outside him.

From here we can understand the idea we previously proposed concerning the concept of Satan. Satan, within this conception, has neither a stable personality nor a fixed identity; therefore, he is his own enemy. He alternates and fluctuates between opposing states, between life and death, and between masculinity and femininity, without possessing sufficient focus to escape the state of hell that we previously described as a state of unconsciousness and hallucination.

Escaping from this state requires focus.

What Is Focus?

To understand the importance of focus, we can use a simple example familiar to everyone: the student at school.

A student who wants to move from the class of failing students to the class of successful students needs a certain degree of focus that enables him to follow and understand the lesson. A failing student will generally not succeed in doing so when he is distracted, does not pay attention, and does not follow the path that leads to the result.

Sometimes, a student who has failed to focus on the lesson may begin trying to distract others. He creates a campaign against the lesson, becomes a source of noise inside the classroom, and works to deprive his classmates of their focus until he himself becomes the center of their attention.

He does not necessarily want to say anything important. He simply wants to make others focus on him instead of focusing on the lesson.

True focus, however, means that a person's awareness is capable of following signs, indications, and steps until it ultimately reaches a result.

If a student is studying an equation, for example, he follows certain steps, proceeds along a specific path, and connects the different indications until he reaches the result. Once he understands the method, he becomes independent of the teacher during the examination: he can solve the problem himself and reach the required outcome.

Therefore, focus is not merely looking at something; it is following a path to its end.

Distraction Is Following Many Paths at Once

By contrast, distraction is attempting to follow multiple paths at the same time to such an extent that a person no longer truly follows any path.

We may find the distracted student focusing on everything except the lesson: his classmate's clothes, the teacher's clothes, his movements, sounds outside the classroom, and what this or that person is saying. He pays attention to many things, but he does not focus on the thing he should be focusing on.

The highly focused person, on the other hand, is capable of confining his attention to the thing he needs to follow.

Here the connection between focus and unification also becomes apparent. High focus means gathering one's awareness around a single center, whereas low focus leaves a person distributed among multiple centers.

This is why we said that Satan belongs among those who forget, those who are distracted, and those with low focus. He cannot follow a single path to its end because his awareness is distributed across many things, preventing him from reaching the conclusion.

The Unfocused Human Being Is Vulnerable to Penetration

If a person is relaxed to the point of losing focus and is unable to follow one thing clearly, he becomes vulnerable to penetration.

By penetration here, I mean becoming easy to influence, attract, and divert from the path he had been following.

This can be observed in the simple example of students. A student who does not follow his lessons and does not possess a high level of focus is more susceptible to deviation and to being influenced by things outside school than a student who concentrates on his studies.

The same applies to a human being in life: the lower his focus, the more susceptible he becomes to being influenced by something external, attracted by it, and having his awareness stolen.

Human awareness, especially in its early stages, resembles fertile soil prepared for cultivation. If someone who wishes to exploit it takes control of it, he will not necessarily plant what ought to be planted there. Instead, he may plant various forms of harmful growth and deviation.

The focused person, however, follows what he ought to follow.

Here we must ask: What should you follow?

You are not required to follow everything. Rather, you must place everything outside the path aside and follow the center.

The Center as the Center of Focus

We previously said that the center is the Creator. If this is so, then following the Creator is what protects the human being from external influences that could steal him, penetrate him, or cause him to deviate toward something futile.

The Creator, according to this conception, is the center of usefulness, value, and meaning. Therefore, deviating from the center necessarily leads toward something that loses meaning, value, and usefulness.

This is not merely a phrase that we repeat; it follows from the principle with which we began: whoever follows the path understands and arrives, while whoever does not follow it becomes immersed in matters without meaning or usefulness and eventually loses himself.

From here we can understand the purpose of satanic movements: to plunge humanity into a state of confusion and chaos so that it becomes unable to focus on the thing it ought to focus on.

And what should be focused upon is the process of construction.

Construction and Focus

If the Creator is connected with construction, then the human being is required to remain focused during the process of construction. Any disturbance in a person's focus while building can become a vulnerability within the structure, and this vulnerability can be exploited by the corruptor, the intruder, or the thief.

This is why we said that the Creator does not love those who cause corruption.

The corruptor does not exploit a structure in order to preserve or appreciate it. Rather, he exploits it in a manner that leads toward destruction. It may begin with a small error in the construction, then that error produces others, and the errors accumulate until the structure itself becomes a means of corruption.

This makes focus important from the very beginning, because focus at the beginning reduces errors and brings them close to zero. But when construction is based on confusion, the first error produces a second, the second produces a third, and so on.

Sacred Construction and Blessed Procreation

From here we arrive at another idea concerning procreation.

We previously spoke about the blessed sacred house and the blessed person. Today we can add to this the concept of blessed construction and sacred engineering.

During my research into procreation, I arrived at a conceptual development through which I would like to update what I proposed previously: we can speak of blessed procreation or sacred construction, so to speak.

The reason is linguistic as well. The word construction was historically used as a euphemism for sexual intercourse, as in the expression describing a man entering upon his wife and building with her. Therefore, the relationship between the concept of construction and sexual intercourse is not arbitrary; it has a basis in language.

If there is sacred construction, then within this conception it is natural that it should produce a blessed outcome worthy of existing and being born.

But the question is: How do we know that the construction was sound?

We can see the effect of construction in its outcome. Children who display severe distraction and weak focus may, within this conception, reflect the existence of vulnerabilities in the construction that preceded their existence.

If the sexual act itself was not protected, then the outcome, according to this conception, will not be protected either. It may therefore display distraction, weak focus, and an incomplete connection and nourishment from the parents.

Here focus during the construction process becomes extremely important, because errors occurring at the beginning can be transmitted into later stages.

Education as Part of Construction

Education is not something separate from construction; rather, it is one of its essential components.

A person who raises his child poorly may leave within him foundations that later lead toward theft, murder, aggression, and other actions. Therefore, what happens at the beginning does not remain confined to the beginning; it can multiply over time.

A child who is not disciplined during childhood may grow older while the gap grows with him, transforming from a small danger into a greater one.

Education therefore becomes a preventive process that seeks to reduce errors from their earliest beginnings.

For this reason, bringing a child into existence should not be part of a project that is already fundamentally failing. If a person is unable to focus on his child, unable to teach him focus, or unable to raise him, then the question becomes legitimate: Why bring him into this project?

Procreation is not merely the addition of an individual to the world. It is the introduction of a new human being into an existing structure, and this makes responsibility for the foundations extremely important.

The Blessed Child and the Blessed Lineage

Based on this, we can speak of the blessed child as a human being who grew upon sound foundations.

Among the most important of these foundations is the covenant that unites husband and wife, as the basis for the legitimacy of the child. If this covenant is sound and founded upon awareness and the sacredness of construction, then the child becomes, within this conception, an image of the structure his parents constructed.

Here we arrive at the concept of lineage.

If there is a blessed house, a blessed person, blessed construction, and sacred engineering, then it is natural for the sequence to extend toward the concept of a blessed lineage.

Conversely, there may be lineages carrying accumulated vulnerabilities and errors, so that the structure that continues through them becomes chaotic.

If you want to build a house on land without a plan, principles, engineering, or study, the result will be a chaotic structure founded upon disorder. Likewise, a lineage in which errors accumulate without correction may carry those errors into later stages.

From here emerged the conception of accursed lineages: those in which construction continued in a chaotic manner, without respect for rules and principles, until the errors became part of their structure.

Satan and Vulnerabilities in the Lineage

Within this conception, Satan attracts people whose construction or lineage contains vulnerabilities.

A more complex idea was raised here concerning Satan's participation in sexual intercourse and creation, an idea that requires a separate discussion later. What matters here is that, according to this conception, such participation causes disturbance in lineage and identity and makes the child incompletely attributed to his father.

Consequently, such individuals become more susceptible to being influenced by Satan because they carry within their structure a vulnerability that enables him to affect them, until Satan becomes, for them, as though he were a father, mother, or alternative reference point.

This is extremely dangerous because, through these vulnerabilities, Satan can mobilize his followers and assemble his army from lineages in which defects have accumulated.

The ultimate goal is to reach fortified and sacred lands and penetrate them.

Sacred Engineering and Fortification

If sacred land is distinguished by being fortified against occupation, disasters, storms, and other forces, then the blessed lineage possesses, within this conception, sacred engineering.

This engineering means strong defense, strong fortification, strong foundations, noble objectives, elevated purposes, and sound souls.

Those who have radically embraced falsehood, however, are entirely different. Their objectives are base, their purposes are vicious, and their actions are founded upon corruption, its production, its promotion, and its sustenance.

I am not referring here to people who mix good actions with bad actions, or those who fluctuate between truth and falsehood. They are a separate subject that we will discuss later. I am referring here specifically to those who have radically embraced falsehood.

Such people, within this conception, cannot produce genuine reform because the structure in which they were raised is itself fundamentally based upon corruption.

Why Does Satan Fear the Focused Human Being?

If high focus is among the good qualities, then a focused human being cannot easily coexist with filth, corruption, and chaos because he possesses a clear boundary between himself and what he considers harmful.

He is like someone programmed to defend his body, himself, and his thoughts because he believes that his integrity deserves protection. Failing to defend it becomes, for him, a betrayal of integrity, security, and peace.

Therefore, if a human being carries even a breath of blessing and sacredness, Satan seeks to attract him.

Satan knows that attracting a person of this rank would open an important door for him to enter and cause corruption. Therefore, winning over a focused human being becomes highly valuable to him because it gives him a sign of victory over someone who follows only the Creator.

Yet the structure of the blessed human being, within this conception, does not easily permit such a collapse. However far he may incline, something remains that returns him to uprightness. Whenever one shield fails, another shield exists behind it; whenever one fortress is penetrated, another fortress stands beyond it.

This is why the blessed human being can be compared to someone walking across bridges that do not collapse until after he has crossed them. There are deep secrets within this structure that make violating it more difficult. This, in turn, increases Satan's anger and hatred, because he seeks to violate sacred boundaries, while a human being who possesses genuine sanctity is someone with whom Satan cannot share that sanctity.

The Perfect Human Being: The Center of Humanity

Here we arrive at the concept of the Perfect Human Being, which we discussed in previous broadcasts.

We can develop that concept by saying that the Perfect Human Being is the representative of the center on Earth; that is, an earthly center subordinate to the absolute center.

To clarify the idea, imagine an original base followed by another base located far away. The second base is not independent of the first; rather, it operates according to its commands and instructions.

Likewise, the Perfect Human Being is the human center that is subordinate to the original center.

The Perfect Human Being is, in reality, the blessed person in the first place, because his commands and prohibitions, if his humanity is truly complete, become a translation of sacred engineering: he commands only what is wholesome and forbids only what is harmful.

He himself follows the commands and prohibitions of the Creator. Therefore, his command and prohibition are not independent of the center; rather, they represent a secondary and detailed translation of what comes centrally from the Creator.

Compressed Revelation and the Perfect Human Being

Here another word connected to the title appears: pressure.

The revelation that exists between the Perfect Human Being and the Creator, according to this conception, is revelation of extremely high concentration and pressure, to such a degree that only the Perfect Human Being can understand or absorb it.

It is like an extremely complex and highly centralized command. If it were given to an unqualified person, he would be unable to deal with it. The Perfect Human Being, however, can withstand the pressure of this command, decode it, simplify it, and translate it into levels that others can understand.

Thus, the Perfect Human Being is the intermediary who translates complex, compressed, and concentrated revelation.

After that come other levels that help transmit this command to people. Among them are the true awliya, in the genuine meaning of the word: those who are capable of dealing closely with the Perfect Human Being, who do not require extensive simplification from him, and who can in turn help transmit the command to other levels.

In this way, gradation takes place: from the concentrated command to the Perfect Human Being, from him to those capable of approaching and understanding him, and then to further levels until the meaning reaches the people.

The Perfect Human Being as the Most Stable Being

If the Perfect Human Being is capable of bearing divine pressure and decoding concentrated revelation, then he becomes, for humanity, the most stable of beings.

He is the unmoving pole, and the great sign of the existence of the Creator.

But people do not perceive this because they have moved away from the complete human truth. Had they known the complete human reality, they would have understood that the perfection of the Perfect Human Being itself is a great sign of the Creator.

If the Creator is the origin of complexity, pressure, and focus, then the Perfect Human Being becomes, within the human circle, the origin of focus.

The farther a person moves away from him, the smaller his share of complete humanity becomes, because the Perfect Human Being, within this conception, is the one who knows the truth of the human being and cares about the fate of humanity.

Therefore, those who are close to him are, in reality, people who care about humanity.

Whoever understands the reality of the Perfect Human Being cannot call for the extinction of humanity. On the contrary, he sees that human beings deserve to exist and that preserving humanity is part of his mission.

For others, the Perfect Human Being is a person who is full, stable, centered, and complex. But before the Creator, he is like an empty vessel. The reason is that the Creator's focus is immense and complex, and no matter how great the human being's ability to imitate that focus may become, he remains as though he has no focus at all when compared with the Creator's focus.

The Perfect Human Being as Educator, Teacher, and Guide

If you are looking for what is truly human, he is the truly human one.

If you are looking for someone who cares about humanity, he is the one who cares.

If you are looking for an educator, he is the educator.

If you are looking for a teacher, he is the teacher.

If you are looking for a messenger, he is the messenger.

If you are looking for the greatest prophet, he is the greatest prophet.

If you are looking for a guide, he is guidance itself, because he has been granted sound guidance.

Here the idea of the perfect mark returns.

In an examination, the perfect mark is the result beyond which there is no deficiency within that examination.

Likewise, the Perfect Human Being is the perfect sign of the human truth. Therefore, coming to know him closely becomes, within this conception, a path toward knowing the Creator.

And this is precisely what Satan does not want: for the human being to comprehend the existence of a living and complete sign that leads him to the Creator.

Satan and the Claim to Humanity

Another important mistake is believing that everyone who speaks in the name of humanity is necessarily human.

Satan can pretend to be humanitarian, address human beings in the language of liberation and concern for people, and claim that he wants to save or liberate them, while in reality he does not care about the fate of humanity because he is not human in the first place.

Humanity is not merely a word a person places in his discourse.

Nor can someone declare a teaching inhuman simply because he does not like it. To judge a teaching as human or inhuman, one needs broad knowledge, high focus, and an understanding of the result toward which the teaching leads, the purpose toward which it directs, and whether it builds the human being or destroys him.

Therefore, many rapid judgments that teachings are "inhuman" arise from weak focus and an inability to understand the complete course of the teaching.

How Does Communication Occur?

When asked how Satan communicates with human beings, the answer cannot be reduced to a single form.

Some share the body with them, some share their home, and some share their land. The form of communication differs according to the nature of that participation.

Communication with the Creator or with the Perfect Human Being, however, is the reverse.

The Creator does not need an intermediary because of an inability to communicate. Rather, He needs the Perfect Human Being because the latter is capable of raising his level of focus enough to deal with the concentrated and complex command, namely the Creator. The Perfect Human Being is therefore the translator of the Creator's focus because he is an intermediary with the Creator. This is unlike the communication between Satan and the human being, which requires no intermediary. Their communication is scattered, dimensional, unfocused, and unstable. From here we can see that the relationship with Satan is without an intermediary, unlike the relationship with the Creator.

Chaos Is the Language of Satan

Wherever chaos exists, it becomes a means of communication with Satan.

Intellectual chaos, emotional chaos, physical chaos, social chaos, randomness, and corruption all create an environment in which Satan can appear.

This is why corrupt and corrupting speech can be one form of such communication. Satan does not always need to appear as a person and speak. His presence may instead exist within the chaos itself, within speech that builds nothing, and within hallucination that leads nowhere.

A person who rambles without purpose, building neither an idea, meaning, nor a path, lives in chaos.

The person who follows signs and steps and reaches a result, on the other hand, moves in the direction of construction.

There Is No Salvation Without Engineering

From here I return to the idea of salvation.

According to this entire line of thought, I do not see a possibility of creating a genuine lifeboat apart from the blessed engineering of the Perfect Human Being.

A lifeboat cannot be built without taking into account the guidance, instructions, and steps that come from the eternal experience of the Creator.

A person may say: I will create an alternative myself.

He can do so, but he will experiment and fail, then experiment and fail again, and again, until he eventually discovers that the path he reached after all those experiments is the same path he could have followed from the beginning.

The difference is that the Creator, according to this conception, is experienced in success and failure and knows the path that leads to the result, while the human being who rejects previous experience chooses to learn through a long series of mistakes.

Therefore, the real question is not: Can I create an alternative?

Rather: Is there actually an alternative to the experience that I know leads to salvation?

Religion and Sound Belief

This leads us to the question of religion.

We previously said that there is a sound belief, that sound belief is sound religion, and that human perfection cannot be achieved without sound belief.

Just as construction requires a foundation, and just as focus requires a center, the human being requires a correct belief upon which to stand.

Religion, in this context, is not merely a collection of separate statements or rituals. Rather, it is part of the structure that connects the human being to the center and gives him a path to follow.

Therefore, religion cannot be separated from the idea of human perfection, just as focus cannot be separated from construction, construction from engineering, or engineering from the center.

Conclusion: Returning to the Center

If we bring all these ideas together, we find that the thread connecting them all is the center.

The human being who loses his center loses his focus.

Whoever loses his focus becomes distracted.

The distracted person becomes vulnerable to penetration and influence.

Whoever is penetrated may have his identity changed, his sense of belonging weakened, and may eventually cease to know himself.

When a person becomes weakened within himself, the structure in which he participates becomes exposed to error.

When errors accumulate within construction, they extend into education, procreation, and lineage.

Conversely, sound construction requires focus, focus requires a center, and the center leads toward meaning, value, and usefulness.

From here emerges the concept of sacred engineering, blessed construction, blessed lineage, and the Perfect Human Being as a human center subordinate to the absolute center.

The Perfect Human Being, within this conception, is not merely another person among people. Rather, he is the perfect sign of humanity, the educator, the teacher, the guide, and the intermediary capable of dealing with compressed revelation and translating it into levels that human beings can comprehend.

Chaos, by contrast, is the exact opposite: the scattering of awareness, the fragmentation of identity, the opening of vulnerabilities, and the weakening of construction.

Therefore, restoring human sovereignty begins with something simple yet profound:

the human being must regain his ability to focus.

He must know what he should follow and what he should set aside.

He must stop following every voice, every movement, and every external influence.

He must return to the center.

For a human being cannot protect his structure while he is distracted, cannot preserve his identity while he has no center, and cannot reach the outcome while following countless paths at the same time.
