In a gathering with friends, when one friend says something important and I want to reiterate it, I sometimes avoid mentioning that friend by name because I don’t want the others to feel overlooked or as if what they said is less important.
So instead of saying, “What so‑and‑so said is very important,” I say, “What the friends have said is very important.”
I’m wondering if that’s the right way to include everyone, so no one feels overlooked or as if their contributions don’t matter.

Please, I need guidance. Correct me if I am wrong.

1- How do we work correctly in this common place?

Let me make a contrast between the corporeal body and this common place. Let’s say, in the corporeal body, when I am hungry, my body sometimes demands that I eat a specific meal. But if I eat something different it may or may not satisfy my want. Or if I eat something else, it might fill me for a moment, but the yearning for that special meal remains. That means sometimes I know exactly what I need to eat and sometimes I don’t.

In this common place where the Creator is revealed, how do we know what we need at every given moment?. Is there any guidance on where we need to start or is it something we need to discover by ourselves?

How do we relate to the names of the Creator at every new degree?

Hi Gianni, I have some couple of questions

1- Do we need to come to awareness and the feeling that the Creator wants to give us the vessels of bestowal or wants us to bestow?

2- Let’s say the Creator sends me a foreign thought. Sometimes I recognize that it comes from Him, and sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I even find it difficult to attribute it to Him, and sometimes I feel unhappy and resistance,…
Imagine I am thinking about the connection between us, and the Creator sends me a foreign thought, a thought that disconnects me from thinking about our connection, a thought rooted in the desire to receive for myself. It is written that we must attribute that foreign thought to the Creator. What does it mean to attribute it to the Creator, and how do we do this in practice?

How can we help the individual?

It is written, ‘Blessed is the place.’ I would like to ask: how do we stay connected to this common place during and after the gathering, and how can we avoid becoming disconnected from it?
