Preface

There are more than enough prejudices of all kinds in our society. If we look back in history, the dominant worldview has always hindered the development of new knowledge. Once the first believers were persecuted, then faith became dominant — the first scientists were burned at the stake.

Now, when esotericism is gaining strength and this knowledge attracts more and more people, religion and science try to prevent its spread. Although, by and large, this knowledge is a logical continuation of spiritual knowledge, but on a more perfect, deep level.

Esotericism differs from religion in that it is not only a belief, it gives people the opportunity to check all the statements on their own experience. To do this, one must learn to accumulate energy and discover abilities, learn to work professionally with spiritual laws and trace how delusions or violations of laws affect a person’s destiny and health, in order to get to the root causes and remove them.

What do people believe? The less a person knows, or his knowledge with big gaps and contradictions, the more his soul is filled with fears, doubts and all kinds of limitations, the less opportunities he sees in this life. This is also in keeping with Christ’s admonition, “Study, and the light of knowledge shall make you free.”

If a person does not think about what he was born on Earth for, if he does not have goals that inspire him — he walks around with wan eyes and often dies before his time. Esoteric schools help a person to realize what he lives for, to set a goal that awakens all mental forces, to take responsibility for his destiny, to put his body in order.

To become a Master, to learn the art of life on Earth, it is necessary to think and act in such a way that every minute of life gives joy and pleasure. If a man has no strength, he can hardly lift his hand, and is no happiness to speak of.

Energy development allows to accumulate the necessary amount of energy for a full life. The human body has enough mechanisms to restore itself, to overcome the disease, and accumulating energy, gaining peace of mind, a person gets the opportunity to automatically launch these mechanisms and forgets that he was once sick.

The book presents the basics of esoteric development; techniques and methods are not given. In order to practice, a person must fulfill a number of requirements for his own development and learn to work with energy under the guidance of an experienced mentor (individual training or esoteric schools). But esoteric schools are different. In order not to have negative consequences — you must carefully choose whom to believe. It should be a highly professional school with positive results confirmed by practice.

Chapter 1. FORMING UNDERSTANDING

(OR WHY YOU NEED IT)

There are many spiritual theories and wonderful teachings on Earth. But if you look carefully at the world around you, you can easily see that there are almost no perfect people: a brilliant scientist, but health and appearance problems; a great businessman, but the family is falling apart. The list could go on.

Why do we observe this pattern? If we take the strongest of the teachings that have produced the greatest results, we can see that each of them has one problem or another. Let’s say Christianity (a billion believers): love is fine, but it doesn’t develop strength, you look elsewhere for knowledge of social fulfillment.

Philosophy of science has trained to make money, satellites, spaceships, but man never got happiness. Medicine is getting better and health is getting worse. Buddhism and classical yoga give strength, opening of abilities, but problems in society remain the same — a man can not always realize himself. Besides, these teachings were created long ago, conditions have changed, and not everyone can follow this path. There are many people practicing yoga, but not everyone can get what it can give.

Each of the teachings has its advantages, but not everyone can be said to be perfect. The idea behind our Center is to combine these teachings together and, if necessary, to create new ones. So that within the framework of one direction to give a person the maximum and the best way: answers to all the questions of concern, realization of his main interests and help in solving problems.

By and large, each of the directions and teachings seeks to answer the question — what a person lives on Earth for, and how he or she can achieve happiness, strength, perfection and freedom. Buddhism says that life is suffering, and the way to get rid of suffering is to observe the eight noble truths, etc.

Each school sees the answers in a different way, but if you put them together, the following picture emerges. For man the highest goal is to understand and realize his purpose. If he is a cog, a bolt in some system, if he is a worm or a creature that is not worthy to walk on the Earth, this is one attitude. If a person is a future assistant of the Creator, and there is a huge potential in him, then it is a completely different attitude to himself and to life. This ignites the heart and opens the wings.

There’s a theory in psychology called learned helplessness. They did an experiment. They took two groups of dogs and started hitting them with electric current. If a dog in one group pressed the pedal, the electric shock stopped. In the second group — press, do not press, nothing depends on them. Then they were combined together and let the electric current. The first group of dogs quickly adapted to the new situation, the second group — doomed to run, fell on the floor and began to whimper pitifully. They did not even try to do anything, to look for a way out.

We observe approximately the same picture with a human being. If he does not know that another, more interesting, beautiful, rich life is possible for him, he lives in a certain rut, within the framework of his established ideas and does not even make attempts to change something in his life.

How to go to the limit of your abilities? The theory of learned helplessness says that if a person does not believe that it is possible, he does not even make attempts. If a person knows that everything he has in this life, he has earned (even if by laws that are not clear to him yet, received by virtue of delusions and wrong deeds), then he begins to think how to reach his goal.

A very simple pattern — a person cannot solve a problem that is superior to him. For example, if you go into a fight, into the ring, and your opponent is 40 kg heavier, stronger and much better prepared — you have no chance to win. The fight will be over in a few seconds — one punch and you’re knocked out. Completely different class. If a person is weaker, he can make a thousand attempts — all useless. If you increase your class, become stronger, smarter — you can cope with any problem in life (conflicts, complexes, shortcomings).

Another example: one person with great difficulty achieves “yes” for many years, hearing “no, no, no”. Another comes in, smiles and gets a “yes” in a minute. Why? It’s a different level. The person hasn’t even said anything, but you feel a nice high energy coming from them. So, development determines what you can count on in this life, what goals are available to you in life.

How to make human development as effective as possible, so that the goals are high and beautiful? How to reach the limit of one’s abilities, not just to be no worse than the neighbors? Most people are focused on those next to them. A standard mistake. Even the ancients said — if you want to make your boy an Olympic champion, you will take him not to neighbors, but to the only master who prepares Olympic champions.

But in life, as a rule, a person is shaped by circumstances and people who surround him (and often you can not say that they have lived a decent, wonderful in every way life). Look at your parents, your surroundings. What fate they have, approximately — the same fate awaits the people who trust them 100%. To change your life it is necessary to look for masters.

Let’s take work or personal life. If you look, few can say that they are absolutely happy in their personal life. Love is a high art. Neither school nor university teaches how to find a job, how to make a career, how to achieve happiness. A person is ready to be a performer, not realizing what laws it is subject to, what personal qualities he must have in order not to break down, to be respected.

It would seem to be absolutely different spheres, but they are subordinated to the same laws. A person finds himself in a particular situation, interacts with other people: what does he do, what impression does he make, does he control the situation, or does it pull him along? Work, personal life, environment. For all these things to be available to man, he has to become perfect. It is a constant development.

Many people know that “everything should be good for everyone, everything should be enough”, etc. But the more difficult question is what should be done to make all these goals available to a person. These are the questions we are exploring in class. Whatever you do, whoever you communicate with — you control yourself or you cannot control yourself.

A strong person — if someone tries to piss him off and says hurtful words, he thinks: “they want me to be offended, but they won’t succeed. He speaks in such a way that he will not be offended, without raising his voice, without aggressive notes, without saying bad words. He defends his own dignity without degrading the dignity of another. Everyone is tense, fussy, nervous, but he controls the situation, he is calm, relaxed, he thinks with his head and does not panic. A weak person — primitive behavior: hurtful words — screaming, tears; good words — blossomed (“do what you want with me”). The person does not control himself.

How do you behave? You can realize formulas: “I want to be strong. I want to be a warrior. I want to be a loving husband. I want to be a poet.” You get into a certain state and you get what you want, the feeling — “I can do this.” You are alone with yourself. You have to learn how to manage the situation, how not to lose.

How interested are you in your destiny? For example, a person behaves confidently, knows how to fight back, but does not achieve anything in life. Why? It is possible to be confident, to be able to stand up for yourself and learn to say compliments. But if a person does not know what he lives for, and has not realized that this is the most important issue in life — he will not be able to control his destiny, and all this will not be very useful to him. For goals to become real, a person has to learn a lot of things. This is taught in different spiritual schools in different ways. Our Center is such a school.

If a person has no goal, he walks around with slumped shoulders, with a faded look, he only needs something to earn his daily bread. This is sad, he needs to survive. If a man has a purpose — fine. He is burning, living.

There are a lot of interesting points in psychology. For example, a nursing home: some people have a choice, others don’t (someone wants to watch something on TV or doesn’t care what is shown; choice of food — “I want dumplings on Wednesdays and Fridays” or doesn’t care what is given).

A person who has a choice, thinks, decides something. Such people live longer, they have a better mood, they have at least some purpose. No purpose — aimless existence, a person dies, ends his life by suicide, just dies out.

Or two people live together: if their feelings are the only thing keeping them on Earth, then one dies, and after a while the other dies. There is not a single motive to linger on Earth. Many have an excuse — children, it’s good, but it’s not enough.

You have to learn to choose goals that fit your personality. Everyone has a talent, but it takes work to discover it. Most people don’t study themselves. There is nothing more priceless and closer than your Soul, but how much time do people spend to know themselves? There is time to read the newspaper, to lie on the couch, but there is no time to pay attention to your Soul. One should try to set goals for many years in such a way that they inspire you and you will never regret it. This is a great art.

People make a lot of unnecessary efforts, spend a lot of time almost in vain, doing things that seem important but do not lead to the goal. They can’t even appreciate that no one needs it. For example, the same conflicts in the family last for decades. We read a book on psychology — recommendations are given on how best to respond, how to talk to the person, and the conflict is over.

A person controls his destiny when he has a goal, a plan, and he approaches his goal step by step. Most people are pulled by the current, they become victims of circumstances. How to learn how to choose goals and calculate steps, how to realize your goals in life, how not to break down and learn to go forward by force of will (“I will overcome everything, I can do anything”), how to become open and receptive?

In addition to the will of man, there is the will of the Higher Powers. If you set some goals, God helps you, others — He beats you on the hands. One person makes gigantic efforts, and everything is wasted: earned — lost, earned — lost, married — divorced. He does not deserve the right to be happy by his behavior and actions. Everything comes into another’s hands. Why? He thinks differently, acts differently, although outwardly they seem to do the same thing.

The program of our Center includes everything that concerns destiny, what laws it obeys, how to know it, whether your Patrons will help you or there will be problems. The first thing is your destiny.

The second is situation management. You are communicating with someone. What influences your assessment of the other person, what influences their attitude toward you? You want the person to ultimately say “yes” and you don’t want to hear “no”. What influences that? The first is condition. If a person comes in sideways, is not confident, you do not even listen to him, it is unpleasant to talk to him, he carries a lot of problems. Such a person is quickly forgiven. Another person is calm, relaxed, friendly, he has good manners and appearance. He is pleasant to look at and listen to. The main thing is the condition.

No one teaches (or almost no one) how to learn how to manage your inner world, how to act calmly and relaxed, how to become strong, confident, benevolent, how to manage your attention. Love: if a person does not feel a kind attitude to himself — he is cold, unpleasant; but if you have feelings burning in your chest — you warm him up, open him. This is a high art, you need to learn it. Image is also important: speech, intonation (how to speak decently to get the right answers, how to put the offender in his place), appearance, manners, etc.

The third is self-management. It is hard for a person to try to do anything at all if he has little energy. Energy appears, and a lot of problems go away by themselves.

How to learn to accumulate energy? There are many conditions, physical exercises and esoteric techniques (self-injury, meditation). If you have energy, and there is a lot of it, you can easily discover psychic abilities. If you don’t have it, it’s not that you don’t have abilities, your memory goes out, your eyesight goes down and everything else goes down too.

The example of our trainees. In the first and second courses, we do not work with diseases in a targeted way. And what is interesting is that if a person has learned to accumulate energy, some diseases disappear on their own. There are many such examples in the Center. A person forgets that he or she was on the medical register, comes to the clinic to get a certificate for the swimming pool and is surprised to hear: “You are our patient, you have a heart condition.

A classic example from yoga. The ocean. When the tide comes in, all your problems flood in and become invisible; when the tide goes out, the bottom is exposed, the mud and other nuisances are exposed. Second example. A ship is sailing. When everything is in order, the pool and disco are working. But one engine broke down, and only to get to the shore. Similarly, our organism — it lacks energy to “walk” to work and back (memory, vision, walking with difficulty, shortness of breath appear “for some reason”).

Do you want to change something in yourself, in your life, or are you satisfied with everything? Or maybe you are waiting for everything to change? Suddenly life will be better, and tomorrow you will wake up a happy person. Some people wait 33 years, some wait 48. Do you want to be the master of your destiny? Is your aspiration strong enough?

If a person wants something badly enough, he goes and does it. For example, a person wants to stop smoking. He realizes that it is harmful to his health, but his desire is not strong enough to give up, because he needs to change his image and lifestyle. Thoughts appear: I will quit smoking, I will get fat, but I do not want to run. It is the same with the question of development. To become the master of your life, you need to make a decision, go and do it. Otherwise, it will remain a pipe dream. This is the approach of our Center to development. A complete system — complete goals.
