Question: do animals Follow the law of progress like humans?
Answer: Yes, therefore, in the highest worlds, where people are more developed, the animals also developed more whiter and have sophisticated means of communication; but they are always below the man and subservient to him; they are his clever servant.
Question: do animals Progress, like a man, on his will or it happens by force of things [independently - another translation]?
Answer: the Force of things; so for them there is no redemption.
Question: In the upper worlds do animals know about God?
Answer: No, for them God, as once the spirits were gods to the people.

Question: the Soul of an animal, emerging from the body, whether it is after death, as the soul of man, in the wandering state?
Answer: It is a kind of wandering, since the soul here is not connected with the body, but it is not a wandering spirit. Wandering spirit is a being thinking and coming into harmony with his own free will. The spirit of the animal does not possess this ability. Identity is the main property of the spirit. A spirit animal is classed after its death spirits, which it is, and almost immediately used for further incarnations; he has no time to engage in a relationship with other spiritual beings.

Question: What can be the nature of the mission of the conqueror, aimed at only the satisfaction of his ambition, not retreating for the sake of achieving this goal before any disasters which it entails?
Answer: most Often, it is merely a tool that God uses for His purposes, and disaster these are often simply a means to accelerate the advancement of a people.
Question: the One who is the instrument of these temporal disasters, alien after all good, which can get out of them, because he set himself some personal goal. So will be counted if it is involuntary good?
A: Everyone is rewarded according to his deeds, for the good that he wanted to do, and the nobility of his aspirations.

Question: the Blessing and the curse can to promote the happiness or to cause distress to those to whom you refer?
Answer: God does not listen to an unjust curse, and the one who pronounces them guilty in His eyes. So how in the world there is good and evil, the curse can have a temporary effect, even in material terms, but the impact of it is only really in the will of God, and in this case, it can increase the test belongs to whom. However, for the most part curse the wicked and bless the good. A blessing and a curse can never reject the Dispensation from the path of justice. It Porojan damned only in that case if he deserves it, and patronize only those who deserve it.

Question: What is the effect of verbal formulas and techniques by which some people claim to subjugate the will of the spirits?
Answer: their Effect is such that people really believe in all this will be funny; otherwise, it will simply crooks, deserving of punishment. All sorts of verbal formulas is not more than buffoonery; no sacramental words, any cabalistic sign, no talisman, which would have any effect on the spirits, because spirits are involved only the thought, not the material things.

Question: Spirits having influence on natural phenomena, whether consciously, by choice or by instinctive and thoughtless impulse?
Response: Some Yes, others no. Let's do a comparison: imagine a myriad of animals, to make little by little from the sea, entire Islands and archipelagos. Do you think that this is not the purpose of his Dispensation, and that this transformation of the earth's surface is not necessary for the overall harmony? Make it animals standing on the last stages of living beings, satisfying their needs and not knowing at all that serve as instruments of God. Similarly, the lower spirits are useful in the universe; while they just start life, before aware of their actions and their will, they are already on some of the phenomena are unconscious and their engines; at first they are only performers; later on, when their minds develop, they will command and control the phenomena of the moral world. So, everything in nature is beneficial to all associated with each other.

Question: One, whether the spirit involved in the work of such phenomena, as for example, a storm, or going to many?
Answer: Countless.

Question: Perfume, heads of the phenomena of nature, make it a special category in the spirit world; whether there is any special creatures or spirits that were embodied in the same way as we are?
Answer: They are incarnated and are still incarnate.
Question: do these spirits to a higher or lower level of the hierarchy of spirits?
Answer: It depends on the extent to which the material to their class; some command, others perform the commandments; those who perform material classes are always to the lower level, as in humans.

Question: Mythology of the ancients is entirely based on spiritual ideas with the only difference that they are considered as spirits of the gods; and they represent us, these gods or spirits endowed with special rights and duties; one was in charge of the winds, others by lightning, others were the patrons of agriculture and so on. Devoid of such a faith base?
Response: It is so not without reason, that not even covers the whole of the truth as a whole.
Question: For the same reason, there may be spirits that live inside the Earth and guides geological processes?
Answer: These spirits do not live literally in the dungeon, but they direct and guide in accord with their responsibilities to those things and processes which are in their jurisdiction. Once you have the explanation of these phenomena, and then you can better understand them.

Question: When circumstances seemed fatally opposed to our plans, then is it not due to the influence of any spirit?
A: Sometimes these are spirits of another, and often, your own discomfort. Your position and character have a great influence. If you persist not in your field, nothing to do with spirits; in this case, you yourself are evil geniuses.

Be aware also that not everything that you think is evil is really evil; often evil is a consequence of the greater good of the evil; but you do not understand this because they think only about themselves and the present.

It would be unfair, however, pripiyat them [the spirits] all your failures, you are guilty; trust me that if you crashed your dishes, it is more likely to be the consequence of your uneasiness, than the influence of the spirits.

Question: Spirits, guides, life events, and whether they can meet resistance from those spirits that wish the opposite?
Answer: what God wants it to happen; if there is a delay or any obstacle, it is according to His will.

It is true that spirits act on matter, but only the execution of the laws of nature, not the violation of them by producing the event of unexpected and contrary to the laws. In the example given to you, the ladder broke because it was undermined by worms at all, or were not strong enough to withstand the weight of the person; if he was destined to die in this way, the spirits could inspire him with the idea to climb this ladder, which must break under the weight of his body; thus his death varies from natural causes, and there is no need to resort to miracle.
