2. What Do You Strive For?

What do you want from life? Or like this: what do you want from Life? What is your Highest Potential?

Do not rush, think carefully about the answers. Remember, there are no wrong answers. All your answers are correct. The main thing is whether they make you happy. Do they feel good to you, does your heart rejoice, does your soul sing from them, are you inspired by Yourself, by your answers, by your desires? Do you know how to realize them? Are there examples before you of people who have succeeded? (Of course, we do not take into account glamorous Instagram stories, for we understand that all this is nothing more than marketing, an attempt to sell us something unnecessary: things, cosmetics, courses, other people's knowledge that will supposedly make you happy, help you earn a lot of money and live happily ever after, etc.) Are there living examples before you that you can trust?

Do you want to be truly happy? And what is included in your understanding of happiness?

If you ask Us, We will answer you: Everything is simple. Our happiness is in Love. Love is the answer to all our questions and needs. And here is why.

Have you ever wondered what makes your life truly alive? No, not the morning coffee and not the phone notifications. Life comes alive when in the heart

Love appears. True Love. The one that comes from God – the Prime Source of all that is. Yes, yes, that is how simple and... grandiose it all is at the same time!

God is not just an abstract idea, not a stern face from an icon. God is Life itself, Power, Truth, Joy, and … Love. He is the Prime Source of everything that surrounds us: from the stars in the sky to the very smile that appears on your face. God is simultaneously the Primordial Beginning of the World and the Aggregate Highest Potential of All, the Crown of His Own Creation. God is what makes you Yourself, for God is already within you and is waiting for you to claim your Highest Potential of deification, of becoming a real god. Yes, a god – you read that right. Surprised? Then read on.

Love is that very infinite life-giving flow that fills us from within. It warms, inspires, heals, and... resurrects. Love is not about heart emojis in messages or butterflies in the stomach (though that is pleasant too). It is about the state of Highest Bliss and Peace, Strength and Forgiveness, Inspiration and Empathy with Truth. Love is the Supreme Delight in which you are literally resurrected to life. To Life! It is when you not only understand, but feel with your entire being: everything in this world

is interconnected, permeated with Unity. And you are an important part of this vast puzzle.

Where does Love come from? Love has one source – God. And until you accept this, you will experience anything at all, but you will not know what True Love is. This is not a play of hormones. It is not about how we usually love our loved ones, our children, or are touched by pets and a beautiful sunset. This is not what poets sing of.

Is it possible to live without God? It is possible. One's own short little life. It is possible. But if you want to know the Meaning of Life, True Love – Freedom, Power, and Delight, the fullness of Fulfillment, you will have to seek Him. And until you find this Source – within Yourself, Love will not be able to revive you. You know, like a flower that withers without water. But as soon as you open your heart, call God by name, Love will begin to pour into you and through you into this world. And here the magic begins. The divine seed that had been sleeping in the depths of your being awakens and begins to grow into the true Meaning of Life, embodying Your Highest Potential.

What does it mean to nurture the divine seed of Love within Yourself? Imagine that inside you there is a tiny but infinitely powerful seed – a divine grain. It is waiting for you to water it with Love. And then it will begin to grow, turning into the Tree of Life, which will bear many

fruits – Divine gifts, talents, and genius that will reveal to the world new facets of Love and – literally swing wide before you, in you, the gates to Eternal Life. Nurturing this seed means allowing yourself to love and be loved. Loving God and being loved by God. Nurturing this seed within Yourself is deification itself, a process where you become more and more the one God intended you to be – radiant, strong, joyful, fulfilled, creative – a conscious creator of your reality, a god of your world, and a source of Love for it.

What happens when you accept Love? You become a conduit of Divine Love. You truly come alive. This is no longer mere existence, but a full, fulfilled Life. And True Life, life in Love, is Eternal Life. It cannot cease. You begin to share this Love with others, filling them and the whole world with Light, Joy, and Grace – expanding Life within Yourself and all around.

How to open up to this Love? Christ answers this:

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."

Such is the paradox. To receive Love, one must love oneself. But this is a paradox only at first glance. In truth, there is no

contradiction here. It is simply easy to love God. He Himself gives you this Love. All that is needed is your striving toward it, a sincere desire, and… Faith – "with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." We will explain to you (a little later) why they are so important, and what they really are – your desires, your feelings, your thoughts, and your Faith. But the choice will remain yours – to claim this Love, to open up to Her, or to "prudently stand aside so as not to end up in some cult." (Smile.)

We, by the way, are for Orthodoxy. Simple Russian Orthodoxy. But We are also for Islam. True Islam. We love the Vedas. We love the Slavic Rodnovers with their reverence and glorification of the manifold aspects of the One. We love the Buddhists seeking Nirvana, the True Delight, and they will find Him – one day. We love all who sincerely seek and open up to Our Love. Because We are for Accord. We are Accord. (Smile.)

And here is what is wondrous... As soon as you learn to love God truly, not out of obligation and duty, but by your own living desire and will, as soon as you discover within Yourself His own Love – from you to Him as to the Source, you realize that you are beloved by Him. This is not about "good job," this is about "you are Mine, I am yours, and We are One, I have always loved you and always will." And then loving God becomes as natural as breathing. It is not an obligation, it is the Supreme Joy that comes from the very heart.

What does it mean to love God? Love for God is the awareness of the connection with Him, the acceptance of Him within oneself and all around. It is a path that fills our life with meaning, joy, and light. Love for God helps us become conscious creators of our reality, wherein reign Accord, Unity, Joy, Inspiration, and Love Itself, the Queen of Heaven.

Love is multifaceted. The facets of love that we receive from God and embody are infinitely diverse. Here are just a few of them, so that you may realize the breadth of the spectrum.

Strength: Love is an invincible strength and armor. Love fortifies man with the Spirit of God, makes the weak strong, the fearful fearless, and the unwise wise, filling them with the energy of Life.

Meekness and Humility: Love does not exalt itself above others, yet this is not about the submissiveness of a victim. This is the meekness of Strength that does not need to prove anything to anyone, and requires no violence, for She is one with the world, and the slightest change within leads to changes in the outer world. Your world. For to others you grant the right to create their world in their own image and likeness.

Acceptance: Love accepts everyone as they are, without conditions or demands.

Forgiveness: By releasing grievances, we free our heart for Light. And only Love knows how to truly forgive, healing even deep-seated emotional wounds.

Gratitude: In every moment lies an opportunity to thank God for His infinite gift.

Freedom: True Love grants freedom. Freedom to be oneself, and respects the choices of others.

Kindness: Simple acts born of Love create great changes, awakening souls to sincerity and goodness. And Goodness Is Life, as is said in the Slavic Bukvitsa.

Divine Wisdom: Love is the Supreme Wisdom, which is revealed not as intellectual knowledge, but as Truth, as Super-knowledge – in Clear-feeling. You begin to understand, know, and see with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. In Love, your brain begins to work at 100 percent, and God adds another thousand to it.

Unity: God unites us into one Whole, bestowing a sense of belonging to something greater.

Creativity: Love reveals new talents within us and inspires us to create, to build, transforming ourselves and the world around us – expanding Life Itself.

Delight: Love for God is the Supreme Delight accessible to human being, the most living and sincere Joy, which does not depend on anything external.

But this is about Us and Our Love. And what, after all, do you want? For We want you to be truly happy, Human. What is your true happiness, what do you think?
