Ezotericism. The beginning of the Path

The ideal variant is that you say: “I want to be happy”, give your consciousness a command and get the result. You ignite within yourself those sources of energy and joy that you need at the moment. Great artists do it well, they can live the lives of different people. Of course, when you have to suffer a lot on stage, you have to die early. In joy one can live for a long time. But in order to achieve happiness, you need to master yourself perfectly (I enter such and such a state), learn to change your inner world, your qualities, to form something new in yourself. There are techniques for this in esotericism: self-injury, meditation, self-control.

External sources of joy. The pleasure when you are able to communicate with God is an unforgettable experience for the first time. One of the most important events in life when you receive Gods gift is feelings: friendship, loyalty, love.

You feel, you know with all your heart that this person is with you for life. You do not need to say anything, you are near and your heart sings. Another situation: people marry for love, but soon say goodbye — they don’t agree in character. People receive a gift, but if they are not trained to use it correctly, something is bound to go wrong.

People are different — there are contradictions and, if they are not eliminated correctly, there is a conflict, then war, or someone has to step on his own throat. But if one constantly obeys, one can die early because the Soul does not sing, but suffers endlessly. One should be able to competently defend one’s point of view and find agreement.

Family, friends, favorite business. If a person becomes a Master, then every moment of life brings him joy, and it is not necessary that he should sing dithyrambs. Even if there is a fight with a formidable opponent, one can also enjoy it: “Spread your shoulder, spread your arm.” “There is pleasure in fighting at the edge of the abyss…”

One ability is to learn to appreciate what you have, to enjoy what is happening. Another, if something is missing in your life, is to learn to set goals, achieve them, and stop feeling unhappy. Ask yourself a question: how much would you be willing to sell your arm, leg, head for. It’s unlikely that you would want to at all.

But how much do you value what you have? You are walking in a park: you can plunge into problems with your head, or you can enjoy the landscape, think about something good. If the situation is favorable — to become the creator of your life, unfavorable — to become a warrior, to learn to fight, to defend your interests with dignity.

Learn to manage yourself: I want to be so-and-so, and you become so. To do this, you need to make the right choice and learn to shape yourself. The right choice is what? Ultimately, it is a distinction of Good and Evil, a choice of the path of Light, the path of Development.

What makes you unhappy? Evil in the Vedas is that which is first as nectar, then as poison. Good, on the contrary — first as poison, then as nectar. Drugs are absolute evil. At first, it may feel pleasant and exciting, but then comes the inevitable retribution, suffering, and death.. Or physical development: the body hurts, you don’t want to get up in the morning, but after a few months of exercise, you have twice as much energy, your tummy starts to shrink, you like the image in the mirror more, and your illnesses go away.

Movement replaces any medicine, but no medicine can replace movement. It is hard to change oneself, but it gives the corresponding fruits. It is very easy to roll down the hill (get stoned, drunk), but you have to pay for it all. One should be able to choose what to value in this life so that one does not have to pay for it.

A strong person is one who is able to change himself and his life. Lack of salary — set a goal (to find a better job), go and do it. Lack of education — learned, not satisfied with the environment — found new people, won trust and recognition by their attitude, good deeds. This can turn into friendship, into feelings, if a person deserves it.

High school and university do not set these goals, it is not their task. They prepare performers: to know physics, mathematics, to be able to assemble this or that device, to write a program. But if a person has no understanding of the meaning of life — why live, why breathe? Excuses appear: to bring up children, to plant a tree (also labor), to build a house (you build all your life, but there is no time to live).

High school and university do not teach this. Parents teach it first. How? By their behavior. If they are used to swearing in such and such a situation, you will swear too. If you think that you have a lot of special thoughts of your own, name at least one that is not shown in textbooks, one that you have thought up yourself, not taken from your parents, friends, books and television…

When a person realizes that he is shaped by the world around him, he has the key to change himself: “I’m tired of these negative programs, I like this one better, I’ll take it”. Who to look up to? If you want your boy to become an Olympic champion, will you take him to your parents, friends, acquaintances, school teachers? No, to the only master who trains Olympic champions. He is capable, he is an expert in this field. But more often, people are brought up by non-specialists, by their own, far from the best example. Do you want to know what awaits you? Look at your parents — about the same, if you do not make decisions that will make you stronger and better.

Happiness is in a person’s hands if he makes it his goal and tries to approach it professionally. If a person wants something, he tries to find where he can learn it. Spiritual schools teach: where you suffered — you can learn self-control, where you were hysterical — you can perceive the situation with a smile.

Human strength — whether you can stay calm and relaxed when everyone else is angry and tense, whether you can get rid of bad habits. Strength and will are developed in overcoming, and spiritual development is our whole life.

For happiness to become the norm of life, it is necessary to get rid of suffering. And they are incommensurably more numerous than joy. Can you guess why? Very simple. There is a question, there is only one right answer to it, and there are so many mistakes. There are many different life situations and one right decision, and there are as many wrong ones as you want. When you give a wrong answer, you suffer. That is why there are so many reasons for suffering. The less one is protected, the more one has to suffer. “He who has seen little, weeps much.”

The first cause for suffering is a purposeless life. It is very difficult for a person to feel happy if he does not understand why he lives. He has reasoned for himself that there can be no happiness in his personal life (he tried it once, he was deceived) — his personal life is closed. Friends have said a bad word — friends fall away. Career — once tried to get a job, not accepted — the career cross. Physical development — once accelerated, did not fly farther than three meters — that’s it, I will not be a sportsman, there is no reason to live.

What awaits such a person? Depression, all kinds of delusions, mental illnesses. Human consciousness and intellect do not know what to work for. There is no worthy goal to think about, to analyze situations, to plan. There is nothing to think about, there is no sense in life, but it is necessary to work. A person goes into the world of illusions or beats from powerlessness, because he cannot find a way out.

All sources of energy, which are in a man, work only when it is clear why to work, in what direction to think, for what to give power to a man. Man differs from an animal in that he develops his soul, becomes smarter, deeper. When the reasons for life run out — a man dies.

In developed countries, there is a clear program: get an education, make a career, get married, be a decent citizen, etc. And people follow this program. Each country has its own peculiarities. It used to be easier in our country — there were ideals, moral principles (good or bad, but there was something to look up to). When everything was destroyed: it is unclear why to live, people are homesick, they die faster.

The first reason for suffering, if a person never realized who he is and what he was born on this Earth for. Maybe for nothing, maybe nature made a mistake? It is even worse when a person does not even look for a purpose. He believes that purpose limits freedom. True, he does not know what to do with such freedom.

Second: if a person has not built self-esteem, the right attitude to himself — he does not respect himself, he is engaged in self-meditation, allows to say bad words about himself. He does not know why, how to respect himself. He has bad habits (everyone knows what is harmful, but he continues — he doesn’t know it well). There was no clear example to make a responsible decision.

Example of training. It’s time to quit smoking. You need to imagine: You take a cigarette — gray, dark, viscous, disgusting smoke fills your lungs, is absorbed into the blood, enters the heart; the blood darkens, spreads through the vessels to the whole body… Deeply enter the image and realize what cigarette smoke does to a person. After several very detailed representations we realize that the one who smokes, ages and dies 20 years faster. We imagine how different we are from the ideal, and the desire to smoke diminishes. It’s not easy if others smoke.

People have completely different attitudes even towards death. Example. In ancient times, hill wrestling was part of a feast. A mound was poured and the strongest warriors competed to see who would stay on the mountain, who would win. It was all in honor of the man who had died, the true warrior, so that he would enter a better world, go to heaven. Another question is how right it was. But it was the choice of the man himself.

A few basic things to learn in order for suffering to leave a person once and for all. The first is invulnerability. Can you remain calm, balanced, benevolent, correct, when everyone around you turns green, when they tell you untruths, hurtful words. If you start to react emotionally — you have lost, the opponent needs it. The more you suffer, the better the villain will feel. His goal is to make you mad, to see when you turn pale and collapse with a heart attack. Your heart attack is the pinnacle of his skill, mild suffering is a three.

Invulnerability is when you build such an attitude to what is happening that there is not even a motive to worry. To suffer, a person must be sure that he has a lot of reasons to behave in this way. What he worries about is not protected from the negative manifestations of life, from the words of people, especially those who want evil (they can take it away from him). If what you value is on the surface — you will suffer at the sight of every dog. If the most valuable thing is deep inside, and you have protected it, then small losses do not count — in war as in war. You can remain calm, there is no inner motive to take offense, get upset, scream. You realize that your every emotion will work against you. A man shouted, and you without nerves, calmly: “Are you finished?” — “Yes.” — “What did you want to say?” There are different psychological techniques. The main reason why people get sick and die is fears and other sufferings.

Example. A space station. We lost one battery — there is another, one solar panel failed — there is another, some device does not work — we will find a replacement. But if the central computer fails, that’s the end.

If only because being nervous is bad for your health, you need to get rid of aggression, fears, resentments and other negative emotions. To do this, build a clear rationale for why you should not be nervous — every mistake you make puts trump cards in the hands of your opponent or destroys what you value most in the world. On the other hand, there will still be emotions that, no matter how much you don’t want them to, periodically rise up. You need power over yourself — self-control. If you feel that the wave rises (cheeks begin to turn pink, eyes run) — “calm, calm, calm”. And after the fifth command you feel calm. When you have calmed down, you can also talk. In order not to suffer, you must learn to be invulnerable. A strong person cannot be taken out of his senses.

The second direction is cleansing. Something has already happened, and there are tails (old offenses, debts) lingering behind you. You need to say goodbye to them — apologize or compensate. There are different ways: working in meditation, in the Subtle World, in past lives. The point is that if you are wrong somewhere, there is a debt hanging on you and it will torment you until you realize where you were wrong.
