Before writing each book, I become ill. The delicate fabric of my destiny tears and unravels. Life becomes completely unpredictable. I start to get nervous and irritable. Then suddenly, calmness sets in. And no losses, failures, or surprises can affect me anymore. Now I understand that this is necessary. The more densely packed the information in the book, the stronger its impact on the reader, and the greater my responsibility if that impact turns out to be wrong. The quality of information is determined by how close I am to love and God, and how little I depend on any human values, especially spiritual ones. Love should not only grow towards money but also towards ideals. The deeper a person's character changes during suffering, illness, and the less they try to depend on them, striving towards God, the purer their soul becomes. Each of us, to some extent, goes through this path. And the purity of the soul is determined not so much by the quantity and intensity of sufferings but by the concentration on Divine love and the degree of aspiration towards it.

As I continue, the volume of information grows. Its density also increases. And behind similar phrases, there is an ever-deepening meaning. This allows a person who has read the book to change more and more. I am often asked: how long do positive changes last after interacting with me or reading the books? «Your character changes – the illness disappears», I say. «The deeper the changes in character, the healthier you will be».

The book is called «Answers to Questions», and perhaps many will not receive answers to what troubles them. It would be good if readers understood that the main thing is not the specific question and not the specific answer. The path to recovery is the path to God. And here, feelings are more important than thoughts. When a person concentrates not on the feeling of the right path but on satisfying their consciousness, the effect can be the opposite.

In the book, there are questions that are repeated. I answered the questions sent to me by the viewers sitting in the audience. And, first of all, I respond specifically to the person who wrote the note. Ten people will send me the same question, and I will give ten different answers in form because when I answer, I primarily focus on the one asking, not just the question itself. I believe this will help better understand the meaning of what I am explaining.

One lady, after reading all the books and watching all the videotapes of my lectures, confessed to me:

– Everything is incredibly complicated, it's very difficult to understand everything.

– Everything is incredibly simple, – I replied to her, – everything I have written can be summarized in a few phrases:

1. Always and everywhere maintain love for God and increase it.

2. See and love God in everything, feel the highest will.

3. Do not seek the guilty.

4. Accept the world and people as they are. The world emerges from love, is filled with love, goes into love, and becomes love.

Unfortunately, some people analyze the details in the books I've written, forgetting the main point. On the other hand, some, after reading one book, can grasp the essence, and in principle, there is no need to read the other books.

Two examples told to me by my patients. The first one told a story about her sister:

– My sister had stage four cancer. Tissue breakdown and excruciating pain began. In June, she started receiving morphine. She took it for three months. Her condition kept worsening. In September, I gave her your books to read, the first and the second ones. She read them, understood a lot, and reevaluated her life. She started feeling better, but she continued taking morphine. In December, my sister stopped taking the drug. She went to the doctors for a reexamination. The doctors were shocked – no tumors or metastases were found. A month later, she called your office, and she was treated rudely. She said she no longer believed in Lazarev's books, nor in the Bible. Two months later, my sister died of cancer.

– Your sister only read two books, – I explain, – in the fourth book, there is an understanding that you should not pray for ideals, spirituality, nobility. Although her cancer disappeared, the reasons for the illness remained. Love and spirituality were the same for her. She was given a test to humble her spirituality to preserve love. She couldn't handle it. And to save her soul, she died. It's important to understand that hopes, like disappointments, are purely human concepts. Hoping in God, as well as being disappointed in Him, is impossible. You can only love God.

Another patient told me about her friend. She had problems with her urogenital system that were worsening. She consulted doctors, and they conducted tests. The diagnosis was hopeless. Cancer, extensive metastasis, surgery was futile. For a complete picture, they asked her to come back in a week for another examination. She went to her friend and said she was doomed and needed to prepare for the end. «Even though you don't care about dying», her friend said, «read these books, it will ease your soul». In three days, the sick woman read all my books. Four days later, she came for a reexamination. There were no tumors or metastases on the repeat examination. The doctors shrugged and said they must have mixed up the X-rays.

I still don't understand why one person can change, while it's easier for another to get sick and die. What I've understood, I've explained here. But I feel that there is something greater behind this. Sometimes it seems that the opportunity for a person to desire change is taken away. Perhaps suffering, illness, and death purify the soul better than my method. And if a person has not undergone trials in the form of various sufferings, they are not allowed to understand and accept what I am saying.

By the way, many cannot recover because they expect too rapid results. As one patient told me:

– I've been working on myself for three days already, and I don't see any results.

– You've behaved incorrectly in your last three lifetimes, – I reply to him, – and you want to change everything in three days. As of today, your thoughts have changed, but there is no guarantee they won't revert tomorrow. If your thoughts belong to you personally, then your feelings are simultaneously the feelings of your children and grandchildren, your loved ones. Aggressive feelings drown those around you, and kind-hearted feelings save them.

I couldn't answer many of the questions asked of me in this book. I prioritize answering questions that concern each of us. If I accumulate a significant number of interesting questions, I will answer them in the next book.

I currently have enough information to write the 6th book. I initially didn't want to mix the 5th and 6th books. Then I realized that I was starting to deviate from my principles. When I write a book, I must provide the information I have as of today. However, the theoretical part did not fit within the book's volume.

Recently, I realized that all my previous books only cover two layers of human values – the level of the body and the level of the spirit. Everything we call human values comes through the individual. A person is not only a body but also a spirit, soul, and other components. To be independent of any values, you need to go through the chain of body, spirit, soul, etc., that makes up the individual, moving further away from the human and closer to the Divine. After dozens and hundreds of attempts, erroneous directions are gradually discarded, and an understanding of what a person really is, and how the Divine arises from the human, emerges.

I hope I will be able to present this information in the next book.
