Transcription of the Ninth Valley CD, Part 1

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
With strength drawn from the absolute power of Allah, we begin the session.
Hello, friends. I am Hossein, a traveler and the guardian of the meeting.
(Hello, Hossein)
I kindly ask that we observe fourteen seconds of silence and seek refuge in the Almighty God for our liberation from our most powerful enemy which is our own ignorance and unawareness.
Thank you, friends.
I kindly ask the esteemed secretary, Ms. Neda, to present the summary of the previous session’s proceedings and announce today’s agenda.
Hello, friends. I am Neda, a traveler. (Hello, Neda)
In the name of the absolute power of Allah, today marks the eleventh session of the twentieth course, dated December, 12th, 2012, with the agenda of the Ninth Valley, under the mentorship and guardianship of Mr. Dezhakam and with myself, Neda, as the secretary. The session officially commenced at 9:00 a.m.
Thank you.
Hello, friends. I am Hossein, a traveler.
Hello, Hossein.
The subject of the Ninth Principle lesson from the year 2012 is titled “The Point of Tolerance.”
The title of the ninth valley reads: “When a force starts from a low level and gradually reaches a higher and higher degree, a point of tolerance is formed.”
We must increase our point of tolerance at all levels. At every stage, in response to every matter, and in reaction to every action, we need to develop the necessary endurance.
At the beginning of the Ninth Valley, there is a message that states: “This message is for those who have stepped into a new world.” This message is not for everyone; it is meant for those who have received new things—correct thoughts and perspectives—and have abandoned a set of wrong and useless ideas, stepping into a different stage of life. This "new world" does not mean entering an entirely new physical realm or making a discovery. Rather, by new world, we mean gaining a fresh viewpoint, a new way of thinking, and a renewed mindset.
It further states: “And for those who pay attention to their   "خویش خویشتن"which means true Self.” This phrase, “true self,” can be interpreted in different ways. One meaning is the Self of an individual, the conscious self. Another interpretation is the soul, which coexists in harmony with the Self. Additionally, "self" or خویش  [in Persian] can mean family, friends, and acquaintances. However, in this context, it primarily refers to the person who has entered a new perspective and is now focusing on their own self, their soul, and their existence.
It says: “It is necessary and essential for you to move from words to action.” We must move beyond mere speech and enter the realm of practical action. Just knowing things is not enough—it holds no real value. The next step must be to transition from thinking, reasoning, and speaking to actual implementation. If you claim to be a righteous person, you must demonstrate it through your actions. It’s not just about words. If you claim, "I have become a good person," yet do you still lie, gossip, or create disorder? You are not judged by your words, but by your actions.
We have both an outer aspect and a hidden aspect. Outwardly, one might appear truthful and righteous, but internally, they may be dishonest, chaotic, and deceitful or gossiper. Immediately after emphasizing the transition from speech to action, the text advises: "Pay attention to the earth and the sky."
Why should we observe the earth and the sky? By looking at the earth, we recognize the power of creation and God’s greatness. The Quran states:
"Do they not look at the camel—how it was created? And at the sky—how it was raised high?" [Surah Al-Ghashiyah, Verse 17].
The camel was specifically designed for the desert. Its broad feet prevent it from sinking into the sand, its long neck allows it to see far ahead, and its body can store water for several days without needing water. Similarly, other animals, such as horses, were created with unique attributes suited to their environment. Everything is well-designed and well-ordered.
Or the Holy Quran asks us to observe the sky, and see how it was elevated. What exists in the sky? The Holy Quran requires us to see the earth and the heavens, to understand how they are created and what mystery is behind their creation, and to recognize their fully designed and disciplined structure.
Then, “with deep contemplation, have firm faith in the mercy beyond [ultra-mercy].”
Deep contemplation means profound thinking, and mercy means to kindness. Ultra or Beyond signifies something higher—like "ultraviolet" means beyond violet, and "infra-" means below. When it says "have firm faith in the mercy beyond," it means to believe in God’s mercy, in the higher realm of compassion. If you observe the earth and the sky and witness the magnificence of creation, you will inevitably recognize and develop faith in that divine power.
"And know that your reward will extend a helping hand to you."
Once you develop strong faith and move from words to action, your reward will be something that itself assists you. What does this mean? It means that when I take steps on this path, my reward is you, the people who support and help me. The reward itself becomes a source of assistance.
"Then sow good seeds or valuable grains."
This phrase has both a literal and a symbolic meaning. Literally, if a farmer plants good-quality seeds, they will produce valuable crops. These crops will not only provide ample food but will also grow into trees that offer shade and protection from the heat—like apples, oranges, and walnuts, which provide both nourishment and shelter.
Therefore, “Sow good seeds”.  The phrase “Good seeds or valuable grains” means that you have to be truthful, kind, merciful, and helpful to others, and spread peace. All of these acts represent planting good seeds. When you engage in spiritual and meaningful actions, your sustenance and shelter will be provided. If someone follows the straight and spiritual path, God will ensure their sustenance and shelter [well-being]. Be certain of this! God’s promises are never false. There may be hardships at first, but in the end, everything will be set right.

One of the members shared an insightful thought:
"When you choose to walk the righteous path, initial difficulties may arise."
He gave the example of a thief who decides to quit stealing and go to the mosque to pray. What happens for him [on the first day of returning to the right path]? Someone steals his shoes.
This thief has turned away from wrongdoing and stepped toward worship, yet he immediately faces hardship. This illustrates that when a person moves toward goodness, they may first encounter struggles—a test and a trial.
You might ask, "What does this have to do with the Point of Tolerance?"
This is just an excuse to provide you with some information and awareness. With that knowledge and understanding, you can raise or lower your point of tolerance. We all need to acquire information, knowledge, beliefs, faith, and wisdom—otherwise, we can’t do anything. Once we know these things, we can act based on them and elevate our point of tolerance.
When humans were created and cast down from the heavens to the earth, they were beings with a higher level of intellect than any animal. Humans are naturally superior to animals. However, there’s an important point: both vices and virtues are embedded in humans as potentialities. The idea I'm presenting is in contrast to what many others believe. People often say that humans are born pure and clean—pure at birth, but I argue that humans are not like that. You may say humans start as a "blank slate," and that’s true, but here it is states that both good and bad traits exist in them as potentialities—they are not inherently pure. In every human, there is both the capacity for crying and for laughter; in every human, there is the potential for sorrow and happiness. Therefore, both vices and virtues exist in humans in latent form.
This does not mean that humans are potentially pure from the start. Rather, they have the potential for both good and bad. Let me give you a simple example: You, as a human, have the latent ability to express every curse and insult in the world. Similarly, you also have the capacity to speak beautiful, kind, poetic, and positive words. If people want to harm others, they have the potential for it, but they also have the potential for kindness. So, both vices and virtues exist in every human, it is not the case that humans are inherently pure, but they are potentially filthy, humans are placed above animals, but both vices and virtues are embedded in them as potentialities. They are not pure by default but have the potential for both purity and impurity.
Humanity was given full freedom to test themselves, and as a result, they faced a crossroads: one path leads to vice, and the other leads to virtue. Some say, "Humans are fallible", meaning they are allowed to make mistakes. Others say, "Humans are prone to error", meaning they can make mistakes. I believe humans are "free to make mistakes." Humans have the full freedom to make mistakes, but the consequences of those mistakes are their responsibility. They have the freedom to commit theft, but if they are caught, the consequences are different. The important point is that they are created with the freedom of choice, and they must answer for their actions, because they are naturally created this way.
Some people might try to hide or deny this truth, claiming humans are inherently pure. However, God says something different [Surah al-Balad, verse 10]:
"And We guided him to the two paths."
"And inspired him to be corrupt or to be virtuous."
So, the path of vice and virtue is inspired within each individual.
To be continued

God Himself created Satan, and says: some humans are the evil tree and some others are the pure tree. These dualities exist; we cannot say that humans are entirely pure and sterilized. Therefore, complete freedom of choice was granted, and God said: You have complete freedom to choose any path you want, no one can stop you. If you decide to throw yourself off a height, no one will come to stop you. While someone may intervene to prevent you, they cannot always stop you. Whenever you want, you can do it. This freedom is within human nature. How much a person uses or refrains from using this freedom is a different matter.
Humans were granted full freedom to test themselves. As a result, they found themselves at a crossroads: one path leads to vice, and the other to virtue. “And He inspired it (the soul) with both its corruption and its piety” [فَالهَمَها فُجورَها " وَتَقواها"  Surah Al-Shams, verse 8]. One path is good, and the other is evil.
To guide humans in this process, the Absolute Power [God] provided two guides or two messengers for humans. One is the internal guide, which we can call conscience or Aql, and the other is the external guide, who are the prophets sent by the Absolute Power. One after another, God sent these external messengers to humans, to show humans the characteristics of each path and where they ultimately lead. They explained which path leads to freedom, salvation, and deliverance. These commandments and instructions of the Absolute Power were delivered by the prophets.
There was one inner prophet and one outer prophet who gave instructions. Now, it is said that the last prophet, whom we believe is the Prophet Mohammad, said all of these things. Moses and Jesus also said some of these things. Well, it’s clear! The source is the same, and the prophets come one after another, completing the message. They don’t bring something entirely new. For example, Prophet Moses (PBUH) came and said certain things, then Prophet Jesus (PBUH) came, he accepted Moses’ message, and completed it. Then, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) came and completed the messages of the previous two. The same applies to earlier prophets.
So, if we see that things are similar or some things are shared [in different religions], it’s not something strange. What do the prophets say? The commandments (the orders) of the Absolute Power are announced. What are these commandments? The prophets came for peace, friendship, and the comfort of human beings—not for war and conflict.
Now, if we imagine a person or a group shooting a thirteen-year-old girl with a bullet, it has nothing to do with the Prophets’ teachings. The first thing the prophets said is “don’t lie”, because lying is the mother of all corruption. Lying is the root of all evil. Moses, Jesus, Zoroaster, Noah, and Abraham all said don’t lie, don’t steal, and don’t accept bribes. Well, you might be very religious, but still accept bribes; that's not anyone’s [the Prophets’] fault.
Someone was saying: one of the neighborhood children who had a prominent role in a religious gathering, when noon came, would leave his shop, roll up his sleeves to indicate that he wanted to perform ablution, wear slippers, and walk two kilometers to a repair shop that had a faucet [of water] to perform ablution, then walk two kilometers back to his shop to pray. The point is that there was a faucet right at his shop. This behavior has nothing to do with Islam, the Friday prayer leader, or anyone else. This person was trying to use it as a trick to deceive others, making them think he was going to pray. He would then trick people, gaining their trust and stealing millions from them. This is not about any Prophets—it’s a deception. He had the plan in his mind [to deceive people, pretending that I am a religious person], but this has nothing to do with anyone.
The commandment says: Don’t steal, don’t lie, don’t accept bribes, don’t gossip, don’t have bad assumptions about others, don’t pry into others’ private matters, don’t be a defrauder, don’t take or give usury, don’t commit assault, don’t be an accuser or mock others, don’t break promises, don’t corrupt. If someone asks a question or seeks an address or directions, give them directions, don’t oppress, don’t take others’ inheritance, be kind to orphans, help those in need, give to the poor, pay your zakat, and know that wealth is for the comfort of life, not for accumulating more wealth [the last statement is mentioned by Saadi Shirazi, a great Iranian Poet].
If any of you implement these teachings, then you are a Muslim; if you don't, then don’t call yourself a Muslim for no reason. Can someone really follow all these practices? Some may argue, “Show me where they said these things, or that these teachings were written down by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)?” Well, if the Prophet said all these things, why did he marry four women? So what if he did? What does that have to do with you? You should focus on following the teachings. What difference does it make? These are the same things that all the prophets said, and there are also civil laws, but we should focus on how we apply them.
So, are we acting on them? If we are, then we are faithful to the religion. Don’t take others’ inheritance. In courts, all the cases are about inheritance disputes—everyone is trying to take what they can from others as soon as possible, the orphans’ money, or the inheritance belonging to their nephews or nieces.
When we offer Nazri food (charitable alms) or Nazri rice, do we offer them in the right way? Do we do these things or not? You put up banners, flags, and decorations on the street [to celebrate Ashura], which is all very nice, very good. But how many times have you deceived people in an automobile exhibition? How many lies have you told? How much have you overcharged? How many millions have you stolen? You told lies, sold fake products, and took millions of others’ money. Now, you want to show off with a few public displays and say you're more religious than others?
That doesn’t work. People like that tarnish the reputation of the divine prophets or the religion itself [with doing seemingly religious things whose money is coming from fraud]. When people see this, they think this is what religion is. If being a Muslim means this, then they would reject it altogether. They would say, “This person has lied to me, stolen from me, and deceived me in many ways, and now they're trying to act like a righteous person.” There’s a difference between true spirituality and pretending.
If someone rolls up their sleeves and walks two or three kilometers to show that they’re going to perform ablution and then return so that everyone sees them, that’s a different story—one of showmanship. So, if a person is truly wise, they understand that wealth is meant for the comfort of life, not for accumulating wealth. This is a teaching of Saadi. Some people think God gave life to accumulate wealth. But no, God gave wealth so that we can live life comfortably. Money is for the comfort of life, not to waste your life trying to collect more and more wealth. And when the time [of death] comes, who is going to benefit from the money you have accumulated?
Mr. Dezhakam continues reading from the ninth valley: “And in the end, erase Khamr from your life; in Arabic Khamr means anything that creates a veil, a covering, or a destructive influence on your character, thoughts, or body—such as alcoholic beverages, drugs, or harmful medications. I wanted to add cigarettes to the list, but I didn't, as I didn't want to ruin your mood.
One of the harms of smoking that I mention every time is because simply telling you not to smoke or to stop doesn’t have an impact. However, when I explain one of its harmful effects, you become more aware. One of the components in cigarettes is carbon monoxide. When you smoke, the carbon monoxide enters your lungs, which are supposed to absorb oxygen and deliver it to the bloodstream, allowing it to circulate throughout the body. But when you smoke, some of the red blood cells, instead of carrying oxygen, carry carbon monoxide to the body. These red blood cells cannot carry oxygen because they are filled with carbon monoxide. As a result, the body compensates by producing more red blood cells.
For example, let's say you start with 100 red blood cells. After smoking, 20 of them end up carrying carbon monoxide, and the body produces more red blood cells (say, 30 more) to ensure that enough oxygen can still reach the rest of the body. This leads to an increase in the blood’s viscosity, or thickness. Why is viscosity caused? Because carbon monoxide has taken the place of oxygen.
This thicker blood can cause headaches, which are a sign of the body’s reaction to the excess blood cells and the carbon monoxide. So, as a smoker, when you want to quit, it's a good idea to help reduce the blood thickness by taking a baby aspirin, unless it causes you stomach problems.
This is just one of the harms of smoking that I wanted to share with you today. But if you continue to smoke, that's your choice, and I’m not against it. However, each time I’ll share some awareness on its effects. Ultimately, all of these harmful habits are acts of the devil. Alcohol, like these other harmful substances, creates a veil or cover over your better judgment and wisdom.
The key point here is that the commands (or divine instructions) are incredibly sensitive because the path of sin and vice, or anti-values, seems alluring and attainable at first glance. A person may feel that by following these paths, they will quickly reach their desires, but in reality, they are like poison with a sweet taste, contained in a golden cup. Drinking it may initially feel good, but it leads to destruction and illness.
On the other hand, the straight path (the path of values) is like clear water in a clay pot. Drinking it provides life and quenches thirst. The strange and surprising thing  lies in the fact that the path of against values seems easier and faster. For example, a person may take a bribe, instead of working hard for their wages. Someone else might spend a whole month working and earn a modest salary about 800-1000000 tomans, but another might take 10 to 20 millions of bribe money with less effort. The path of vice appears to bring results faster and easier, but it ultimately leads to ruin.
In truth, while the path of values may take time and effort, it is beneficial and pure, like fresh water in a clay pot, quenching thirst and promoting health. However, one might make money faster through dishonesty, deception, and fraud. The vice-filled ways may seem easy, but they are like a sweet drink that is actually poison. And the path of values is like clear water in a clay jug; it quenches thirst and is beneficial for human health.
For those of us who may find ourselves immersed in some of these vices, it might seem difficult or even impossible to immediately leave all of them behind. Of course, it says  “maybe some of us are immersed in anti-values”, it does not mean everyone. It does not mean that all of us are corrupt—certainly not. Rather, the point is that we might engage in bribery, whether giving or receiving, gossip about others, shortchange customers, tell lies, respond dismissively to those who ask us questions, or even seize an inheritance if the opportunity arises. Therefore, to avoid anti-values, we must gradually increase our tolerance and self-restraint.
Here it says: Some of us may be in corruption, we are drowning in it; if we say we are drowning in corruption, it immediately offends everyone, and in response they may say “No, we're not corrupt, you're the corrupt one!” They think corruption means like a food that stays too long and starts to smell bad; but what is a corrupt person? A corrupt person doesn’t have strange appearance. Here, it’s very well explained; some of us, today, may be drowning in a collection of anti-values, and it may be very difficult, or perhaps impossible, to suddenly stop all of these anti-values. Of course, this doesn’t mean that we are all corrupt; no. What it means is that perhaps we take bribes—if we do, then we are corrupt; or we gossip, if we gossip we are corrupt; if we lie, we are corrupt; if we cheat, we are corrupt; or if someone asks us a question, we answer it dishonestly; or if a good opportunity comes up, we take someone's inheritance; if we do these things, we are corrupt.
Therefore, corruption doesn't have a strange appearance. It’s like reading all your prayers, fasting all your fasts, performing all the rituals, but still being corrupt—meaning you've used prayers and fasting as a cover for fraud and corruption. All of these are just covers for taking bribes, cheating, lying, embezzling public funds, which all are called corruption. Corruption is in the actions you take—secret actions, not visible actions that a person does—that’s why they are called corrupt.
Well, it says that if we are doing these things and want to suddenly stop them, it is difficult! We have to gradually change our actions. For example, if we have set up our system based on giving and taking bribes, and we want to suddenly solve this issue of anti-values, it’s very likely that all our systems will collapse.
Therefore, to avoid anti-values, we must gradually raise our tolerance level. For example, if it's based on taking bribes: let's say we work in an office, and every day we take bribes. When someone in an organization takes a bribe, it’s never done alone; there are several accomplices who support each other. If someone immediately decides [to leave the bad habit], saying, “I don't want to take bribes anymore,” he will face severe consequences; he has no longer control over his situation; it’s like a mafia organization, a person can easily join the mafia, but they cannot leave and return to their former life [after they regret].
In such cases, quitting abruptly may not be feasible. Instead, a well-thought-out plan is necessary to gradually detach from the system. Trying to exit all at once could cause significant disruptions, possibly even leading to the collapse of an entire structure. A more sustainable approach would be to set a timeframe—perhaps over a year—during which bribery is slowly phased out. This way, our tolerance for resisting and rejecting bribery increases until, one day, we can continue our life without bribes.
An important point to consider is that all anti-values should be addressed collectively. It is not effective to eliminate them one by one. For instance, one cannot resolve the issue of lying while continuing to engage in fraud or gossip. True ethical transformation requires a comprehensive approach, focusing on one anti-value is not working.
It says: You cannot solve the issue of anti-values individually; for example, you cannot say, “I will no longer lie, but I will gossip, take bribes, and cheat.” This doesn’t work like that; everything must be solved together; in my opinion, nothing can be solved in isolation in a person, not even a disease. Even a disease cannot be solved in isolation, and you cannot solve anti-values one by one. For example, if you have stomach pain or an ulcer, you cannot solve the ulcer just by treating the stomach alone. That is, you cannot say, “I will just fix your stomach ulcer using tracking therapy!” Your stomach hurts, but the real issue is not in the stomach itself; it’s in the nervous system.
The commands from the brain tell how much acid should be secreted, how much should not be secreted, and it is in control of that. It has nothing to do with the stomach; it’s about fixing the nervous system. For example, if you have osteoporosis, the cure is not just in the bones themselves. The treatment for osteoporosis involves other parts of the body, including the brain and other areas.
Lying is not just one isolated branch; if you want to fix lying, the entire person must change. Until you solve lying, you cannot solve depression. For many years, people have been trying to solve depression—who has been able to solve depression? Which psychological or psychiatric system has been able to solve it? They give you fluoxetine, amitriptyline, Xanax, and other medications.
Yes, I agree, these pills contain certain substances; the patients take them for a year or two, and then after two years the pills stop working, so they increase the dosage. But can you keep taking them forever? Opium, heroin, and methamphetamine also eliminate depression, but this view [prescribing pills] doesn’t solve the underlying cause.
The root cause must be addressed, otherwise, the person will have to take medication for life. Doctors say, “Well, because the depression is such and such, it’s like diabetes, and the person must take pills for life.” But this doesn't eliminate it; they just want to manage it. But you cannot get rid of any of these things by tackling them in isolation; they must be eliminated as a whole. So, solving the issue in isolation or one case at a time is not possible.
For example, it’s impossible for me to solve the issue of lying while continuing to cheat or gossip. It simply doesn’t work, and all of us have experienced this. We don't work on things in isolation. We work holistically on a person’s worldview. When you work on the entire system, everything else will solve itself. The path of corruption and immorality must change completely because anti-values are like a tree whose fruits are all bitter and poisonous. We cannot just fix the fruits of one branch. If the entire tree is fixed, all the fruits will become sweet.
The title of the ninth valley reads: “As for the threshold of tolerance, when a force begins from a small point and gradually increases, it reaches higher and higher levels, the threshold of tolerance appears.” Everything in existence has a threshold of tolerance, and if it surpasses its own threshold, it undergoes transformation and exits its own system. This change in the system often involves destruction and chaos.
For example, if we apply pressure to a metal or glass container, if the pressure exceeds the container’s tolerance, the metal container will crumple, and the glass container will break, thus exiting its previous system. Similarly, metals each have a specific melting point, such as gold, silver, copper, tin, and lead. If we heat these metals beyond their tolerance, each will begin to melt at a specific temperature, exiting its previous system. The concept is quite clear.
So, whether it’s humans, metals, or animals, everything has a threshold of tolerance. When we apply heat to metals, they don’t change, but at a certain point, they melt. Humans also have a threshold of tolerance, and that threshold eventually shows itself. Now, some people know the threshold of others. When they want to break someone, they know exactly how to disturb that person, what words to use, what actions to take, or what movements to make to break them and push them beyond their threshold. But the whole issue is that, while everything has a threshold of tolerance, we must increase our threshold of tolerance slightly. This is the core of the matter.
Similarly, plants have a threshold of tolerance. One plant cannot survive two degrees below zero, while another can tolerate temperatures as low as sixty degrees below zero. Animals follow this law as well, but humans are creatures that have various tolerance points, with a wide range that is completely different.
For example, each person has different capacities for accepting various issues, and if we apply pressure beyond their psychological and emotional capacity, they will lose control. Everyone has a capacity for psychological and emotional pressure, and if we increase this pressure on them, they will lose control. These individuals must raise their threshold of tolerance.
As we mentioned at the beginning, this means moving from words to action. It’s not just about saying “I know this or that repeatedly”; it needs to be put into practice. They must raise their threshold of tolerance from where it currently is to a higher level. People have different capacities, and if we apply emotional and psychological pressure beyond this capacity, they will lose control and, as we say, “hit the breaking point.”
We can observe this in intense arguments and loud exchanges of words between two or more people. For example, as a friend, boss, coach, parent, child, or spouse, we can impose our behaviors and words on others to a certain extent, and the other person will tolerate us depending on their capacity. But we must always be careful that if our actions and words exceed the other person’s threshold, they will lose control.
We can apply emotional and psychological pressure, words, and actions up to a certain point, but there comes a time when we push too much pressure on someone they will lose their control. At that point, it becomes detrimental to us. It’s not in our favor. Don't think it's in our favor. Do not think that deriving people out of control is beneficial to us. In such cases, we must await everything [everything can happen to us].
We can apply pressure within the family—father, mother, brother, friend, co-worker— this holds true everywhere. This pressure should only go so far; if we apply more pressure than that, it will create problems. For example, you want something from your spouse. You ask once, then twice, then three times, then four times, and keep asking over and over. Eventually, it pushes the person beyond their limit, and they lose control. At that moment, anything can happen. The person loses control immediately; their ears turn red, their face changes color, their heart rate rises, and their body starts trembling.
At that point, all boundaries of respect, hierarchy, and status—whether teacher-student, Master and Apprentice —are broken, and any kind of unfortunate incident may occur. This happens because we have exceeded the person's threshold of tolerance, pulling them out of their natural system and order, and pushing them to the brink of chaos. Therefore, we must always be careful not to push people into the threshold of chaos with our inappropriate behaviors.
From this, we conclude that all acts of disrespect, separations, failures, beatings, and even movements towards vices, disbelief, defiance, and rebellion against divine commands occur on the brink of chaos. We must recognize this and avoid it strongly.
I have defined the threshold of chaos. If you apply pressure to a stick, it will snap at some point; if you pull on a rope, it will break at some point. Everything has a threshold of tolerance. We must pay close attention to the threshold of tolerance and know how far it can go, because all arguments between spouses, friends, and anyone else occur on the brink of chaos.
In some matters, the tolerance threshold of individuals differs. For example, one person can only hold their breath for ten seconds, while another can sleep in a grave for ten days without breathing. One person may only be able to run five meters, while another can run five thousand meters, another  person may run fifty meters, while another can run five thousand meters. Similarly, in situations involving cold, heat, thirst, or adverse events and disastrous circumstances, as well as emotional and psychological matters, this threshold varies.
Therefore, people have different capacities and potentials. One person can hold their breath for ten seconds, another can sleep in a grave for six days; one person can run fifty meters, while another can run five thousand meters. Each individual has their own rhythm, pace, and unique characteristics.
Thank you up to this point. The rest, God willing, will be next week.
Thank you, thank you.
