We live in a globally interconnected and interdependent world, created and governed by a single, unique, and deterministic force. This force, which underpins all of existence, is fundamentally benevolent, loving, and bestowing. The ultimate purpose of human life is to reveal, understand, and justify this singular force. Our role is to perceive it as a force that created everything with the sole intent of fulfilling creation with its loving and bestowing qualities.

To achieve this lofty purpose, humanity must undergo a conscious and purposeful process of transformation. This process is designed to make us similar to our singular source of creation. By attaining this similarity, we are able to justify and fully comprehend the nature of the creating force. This transformation cannot happen in isolation but requires active engagement in a unique, mutual game with one another and with the source itself.

This game can be likened to a chess match or a meticulously choreographed dance. From an individual perspective, it involves a deliberate withdrawal from our natural tendencies – our egocentric, selfish, and exploitative aspirations and intentions. These tendencies, whether conscious or unconscious, have historically led us to harm others and distort relationships. Instead, we must gradually diminish these inclinations to create space for others to grow and flourish. Through this self-restraint, we enable the expansion of mutual bestowal and confidence in the relationships we build, particularly within small, purposeful groups.

In this game, my role in the group is to enhance, encourage, and empower others to develop qualities that mirror the creating and governing force. These “godly qualities” include selfless and unconditional love and service toward others. I must actively embrace the growth and bestowal of others, taking their success as my own. Their progress becomes my joy, as I open myself entirely and unconditionally to their aspirations and needs.

As others expand into me, attaching their desires to mine, I consciously restrict my own selfish desires, creating an environment where their growth is prioritized. This process occurs reciprocally, as each member of the group commits to the same mutual effort. Over time, the boundaries between individual desires dissolve, and the separations that once defined us melt away. In this state, it becomes impossible to distinguish whose desires belong to whom, as we achieve an unprecedented level of integration and unity.

However, this transformative process does not rely solely on human effort. We quickly realize that our inherently individualistic egos prevent us from performing such “supernatural” acts of selflessness on our own. This recognition leads us to seek assistance from nature’s unique developing forces. Originating from the singular creating and governing force, these forces are available to us, waiting to be consciously drawn upon and harnessed. They provide the fundamental transformation of intentions and aspirations required to achieve this state of unity.

The world we inhabit exists within a singular force field, created and governed by the Creator. Yet, to sense the Creator and understand His communication with us, we need a unique adaptor or modulator. This adaptor is the similarity of qualities and properties we must develop to attune ourselves to the Creator’s frequency. Such alignment can only be achieved within a small, closed, and purpose-driven group of individuals who share the same ultimate goal. Within this group, each person must mutually commit to and devote themselves to the process of transformation.

As members of the group engage in this spiritual “chess game,” they begin to sense and understand the Creator more deeply. They experience the Creator’s selflessly loving and bestowing nature within the group dynamic. Once attuned to the Creator’s frequency through these small, purposeful groups, individuals can extend their understanding to perceive the Creator’s communication across all levels of existence – inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human.

This mutual chess game of bestowal is not merely a metaphor but a concrete, conscious practice that transforms human relationships and elevates us to a state of unity and alignment with the singular force that governs all creation. Through it, we fulfill our ultimate purpose, justifying and realizing the Creator’s boundless love and bestowal.
