Tree of knowledge of good and evil

Two heavenly trees

For thousands of years, people have tried to explain the origin of the world, as well as the appearance of evil in this world (and its consequences - suffering). They often presented it as myths, so in the Holy Books of all religions you can find symbolic stories that you need to be able to interpret. Christian tradition relies on Moses' account of Genesis, but have Christians understood it correctly?

Let's see what Moses writes. On the sixth day of Creation, God created a man and a woman and placed them in a garden called Eden, where there were already all kinds of animals and plants. From the trees of this garden, Moses identifies two: the Tree of Life, as well as another tree that has become especially famous since then - the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, whose fruits God forbade Adam and Eve to eat. As long as they obeyed the Lord's instructions, they lived in happiness and abundance. But then a serpent appeared to convince Eve to eat the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil; then Eve convinced Adam to taste the fruit too, and God expelled them from Paradise. Now we will consider in more detail some places of this story.

Many people went in search of an earthly Paradise, imagining that it must be in India, in America, in Africa, and, of course, they never found anything. Of course, Paradise was on earth, but what kind of earth are we talking about? As you will see, everything is symbolic. Oh, I won't tell you everything, it's impossible, it's too big a topic - the story of the first man and the first woman, but I'll start by telling you about two trees: the Tree of Life and, mainly, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

So, Adam and Eve lived in Paradise, where they had the right to eat fruits from all the trees of the garden, except for the fruits of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. But you don't know what those fruits are. This is a symbol of the forces that the first man and the first woman did not yet know how to manage, did not know how to transform and use them. Therefore, God told them: "The time will come when you will be able to eat this fruit; but now you are still too weak, and if you eat it, touching the forces contained in it, you will die," that is, your state of consciousness will change. This change in the state of consciousness is indicated in the Book of Genesis, but this indication has never been able to correctly interpret. About the time when Adam and Eve lived happily in Paradise, it says: "The man and the woman were naked and did not feel shame." And further, when they ate the forbidden fruit: "And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized their nakedness, and they sewed aprons for themselves out of fig leaves." This sudden realization of their nakedness proves that something has changed in them.

The Tree of Life represented the unity of life where polarization has not yet manifested, that is, where there is neither good nor evil: this is the area above good and evil. And the other tree represented the world of polarization, where one must know the alternation of day and night, joy and sorrow, etc…. Thus, these two trees are areas of the universe, or states of consciousness, and not just plants. And if God forbade Adam and Eve to eat fruits from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, then this means that they should not yet penetrate into the area of ​​polarization. Why? Do you think that this prohibition was just a whim on the part of God? No. "Then," you say, "was the tree useless?" Also no, God never created useless things. The idea of ​​a tree bearing fruits that no one will eat and no one will use them is contrary to divine wisdom, which does not create anything without benefit.

Some creatures ate fruits from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, but they could bear them. And Adam and Eve could not yet endure them, because these fruits contained binding forces: upon contact with them, the thin tissue of the human body had to freeze, condense, and this is exactly what happened. Therefore the tradition speaks of a "fall"; the term "fall" symbolizes the transition from subtle matter to dense matter. After eating the forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve became heavy and gained weight, which is expressed by the words: "they saw their nakedness." They were naked before, but they saw themselves clothed with light, and after their sin they suddenly felt deprived of this garment of light, they became ashamed and hid.

Having eaten the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, Adam and Eve continued to live, but they died in a state of higher consciousness: they were expelled from the earthly Paradise (which symbolizes this state of consciousness), the entrance to which was now guarded by an angel armed with a sword. Since Adam and Eve were expelled from the "earthly" Paradise, it means that they were already on earth. But in this case, how to understand that, having left Paradise, they were sent "to earth"? What land are we talking about? Kabbalah teaches that the earth exists in seven forms. She gives the names of these forms, their characteristics, from the densest to the thinnest, and the thinnest is the very form from which human beings were expelled. What do we know about the earth? Little.

According to the Science of Initiation, the earth has an ethereal counterpart which surrounds it like a luminous atmosphere. And this ethereal, subtle earth is exactly the real earth that is spoken of in the Book of Genesis, such earth as it came out of the hands of God. The real earth is not the hardened, condensed earth that we can touch here. The real earth is the ethereal earth. It was in this region, called Paradise, that God placed the first people; they lived there, having that radiant, luminous body of which I have just spoken, they knew neither suffering, nor disease, nor death.

Do you know that Paradise exists to this day, that it has never ceased to exist? Although we do not see him, he is everywhere, but in the subtle region of matter, since he is material; yes, the ethereal plane is material. And the Tree of Eternal Life also exists, it is still in this Paradise. This tree gives those elements that the first people absorbed, which they ate. They lived in this ethereal substance of the earth and fed on it; and it was this ethereal substance that maintained the light and purity of their lives. The Tree of Life was not a tree, I already told you this, but a stream, a stream coming from the sun, and people were fed by the rays of the sun that went through this area. The Tree of Life is the stream of the sun!

And since the human being has retained the same structure as in the distant times of its creation, it retained the ability to receive the sun's rays again, to eat the fruits of the Tree of Life again, that is, to return to the bosom of God. Each religion has its own language, its own particular way of expressing itself, but they all talk about reunion in God, about returning to the First Cause. They use different expressions, but they all speak of the same reality.

Now let's see what is the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? It represents another current that also passed through Paradise, and it was he who brought all people into contact with the densest form of the earth. God said to the first people: "Be content with studying the area of ​​the Tree of Life. The time has not yet come for you to leave this area of ​​light to descend and study the roots of creation. Leave this question aside for now, do not try to understand everything immediately." Since this second tree also already existed, it was impossible to transplant it, just as it was impossible to remove from a person his intestines, liver, spleen, etc. Because a person, like the universe, consists of two areas: the highest area corresponding to the Tree of Life , and the lowest - corresponding to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, in which the roots of things are located.

The fruits of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil had such strong astringent properties that the first people could not resist them. The fruits belonged to the “coagula” stream, and the Lord knew that if Adam and Eve made contact with it, this would immediately qualitatively change the state of their consciousness. This is what happened: upon contact with the astringent flow, the matter of their body changed, it began to become dense, thick, opaque and dull. By forbidding the first people to eat these fruits, that is, to study this stream, to experience these forces of nature, God wanted to protect them from suffering, from diseases and from death - the death of the physical body, of course, and not from the death of the spirit, since they were created immortal. But they accepted the death of their luminous state and became alive in a dark and heavy substance. They had to leave the kingdom of light, this Paradise, where they lived in ease, in light, in joy, and descend into the lower layers of the earth, where we live today, because if we are on this earth, then we left that earth, which was our first home...

Who was the serpent that tempted Eve, such an intelligent serpent that could speak, and speak so convincingly? The serpent is a very broad and deep symbol that can be found in all religions. Initiates of all times have dealt with the serpent, even if they preferred not to speak openly about it. The snake symbol represents, at first glance, very different things: the power of Kundalini, Evil, the Devil, or a magical power that transmits any things from heaven to earth and from earth to heaven ...

The initiates do not believe that the serpent is necessarily a symbol of evil: they distinguish in it something lower - dull and dark, as well as something higher - luminous. For them, the serpent is a magical force that conducts both good and evil, it is the "astral light", according to the definition of Eliphas Levi, a light that, being saturated with impure elements, has harmful effects in its path, but when it is saturated with the luminous thoughts of saints and prophets, he brings them to God's Throne. Thus, the serpent in its highest essence is luminous, and in its lowest essence it is dark. In the Zochariah, the Book of Splendor, there is an image of a white luminous head reflected in the abyss, in a lake of opaque substance, in the form of a black disgusting head. This is the shadow of God... But I prefer to talk about it later, when you are better prepared to perceive. This means that the serpent, or dragon, is a symbol of magical power that permeates the entire universe up to the stars and carries both good and bad emanations.

If you are familiar with tarot cards, then you may have noticed that card XV is the Devil card. Stanislas de Guaita understood the depth of this lasso and comments on it as follows: this image, where above is the radiant, luminous face of the victorious, omnipotent Initiate, and below is his inverted image, the face of a fallen, disgusting creature, grimacing and full of rage - this is the image of the Devil. And both together they form one single reality, which can also be represented in the form of two triangles that do not intersect, as in the seal of Solomon, but are symmetrical with respect to their base. This figure means that the Devil and the luminous magical power represent the same reality, but in different areas. It's like a person: his lower essence is dirty and repulsive, and his highest essence is beautiful, heavenly, divine. So, everything depends on what forces he works with, in what area his consciousness is located, what elements he comes into contact with and what forces he turns to.

Thus the serpent in Genesis is a stream rising from the earth and reaching very high regions; in the heights it is pure and luminous, while in the lower regions it is dull and repulsive. In any case, the serpent was also in the Garden of Eden, these were also his possessions. And Eve was walking there ... Since she was very curious, she really wanted to know what it was - the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil; she studied him from a distance in order to form some idea of ​​him: she was gnawed by curiosity. She drew closer and closer to him, and as she looked at him, not yet daring to touch him, she became more and more sensitive to the voice of the serpent, that is, to the earthly stream, which quite reasonably said to her: “You see, you don't know everything. You still need to come to us to learn, because we have a lot of knowledge."

By the way, this serpent was not a single creature, but a whole set of creatures that God created before people: a generation of angels, archangels, deities, whom God instructed to work in the depths of the earth with metals, crystals, fire, etc ..., prepare all underground riches, and then, having fulfilled their mission, return to Him. And it is not I who speak of this, but tradition; I just embellish a little from time to time, add something to spice up the story a bit, but I'm not making it up. Consequently, the legend claims that God created luminous beings, a whole hierarchy of angels and archangels, who, having fulfilled their mission, were to return to the bosom of the Almighty. But since they were free, some of them, under the influence of life below, did not want to return, and this was the rebellion of the angels. They didn't rise above in Heaven, they rose when they were away from God.

But the Creator did not want to punish them with death or dispersion, He told them: "Stay there, you will learn a lot, and one day, when you get tired of living in darkness and limitations, come back, I will accept you." Yes, He made it possible for even the most fallen creatures to return to Him. You see, here it is, the love of God. If God is love, how could He forever refuse to accept the guilty who want to return to Him? That would be cruelty, it's impossible. Since He is absolute Love, even demons can return to Him. Because one should not think that in this situation they are happy, no, they suffer, but their pride prevents them from returning to God. Nevertheless, the door remains open and when they repent and stop hurting people, they will find the place they lost, and Lucifer will again become the Archangel of light. Tradition has informed us that at the moment when Lucifer was cast into the abyss along with the rebellious angels, a stone fell out of his crown - a huge emerald, and from this emerald the Holy Grail was carved - a cup into which the blood of Christ was collected. So what is the relationship between Lucifer and Christ? What can unite them? ...

But back to the snake. I told you that it is a symbol of all spirits that have separated themselves from God. These were very advanced beings who possessed science and fantastic knowledge, and it was thanks to this science and this knowledge that they managed to seduce Eve, promising to introduce her to their secrets. The book of Genesis presents this by saying that Eve ate the apple... What's wrong with that? Everyone eats apples! But here the symbolic side is interesting. By this apple should be understood all the teachings hitherto unknown to Adam and Eve. The serpent says to Eve: "God forbids you to eat the fruit of this tree, because He knows that if you eat it, you will become as powerful as He is, and He does not want this. He told you that you would die, but this is not true, you will live and you will know the realms that are still unknown to you." Eve succumbed to temptation and, as the Kabbalah says, she first knew Adam and became pregnant. It was the first introduction to the hitherto unknown. Enraptured, Eve hastened to convey the new experience to Adam. Until now, neither he nor she knew anything about it.

But here you must understand that there are many possibilities for interpreting the biblical story, since the Garden of Eden with two Trees - Life and the Knowledge of Good and Evil - is a symbol of a reality that exists not only in the universe, but in every human being. In one form or another in their physical body (symbolically - in the Garden of Eden), a man and a woman continue to taste the fruits of the Tree of Life or the fruits of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam and Eve, of course, both possessed this Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, but they did not eat its fruits, they did not know about their properties. Thus, the first communion of Adam and Eve was to come into contact with the forces of nature unknown to them. Since there were also female entities in this egregore, called the serpent, Adam was introduced by a demon known in the esoteric tradition as Lilith (while the demon who introduced Eve was called Samael), and Adam, in turn, also ate the fruit . From that moment on, Eve went one way, and Adam the other: the unity of their couple was broken.

It was then that the binding force began its work of condensation, and they, who until now were not ashamed to see themselves naked, because their bodies were created from light, they, who saw themselves so dense, heavy and weighty, became ashamed of their nakedness; therefore, the Bible says, "they hid themselves in the garden." But how can you hide? You cannot hide from the sight of God.

But do not think that when God saw that they had eaten the fruit, he became angry. Why would He be angry, I ask you? You will say that it would be okay if he got angry because Adam and Eve disobeyed him. But how do you know if this disobedience was part of the Lord's plans? The history of original sin is the history of man's descent into matter; thus, the question arises: did human beings themselves make the decision, or did the Lord have incomprehensible, far-reaching, wonderful plans in which, in spite of everything, people still had some freedom of choice: to stay in Paradise or go to explore other areas of creation...

What some religions call the fall is nothing but the choice made by the first people to descend and study matter. This idea can also be illustrated by the example of a tree. We can say that the first people who lived in Paradise were at the top of the tree. And the top is flowers; it means that they lived among flowers and there they were in contact with light, with warmth, with life, with beauty, with freedom ... But they asked themselves questions: "What kind of tree is this? Where does this energy, this power come from? We see trunk, but there's something else hidden underneath. What is it? We'd like to know." And since in order to know something about things, one must study them on the spot, they left their wonderful dwellings, which reached the sky, and went down the trunk right to the roots. But it is known that when a place is changed, new conditions will have to be accepted; now, among the roots, people are suffering, screaming, because it is dark, hard, they feel crushed.

But it is still comforting that all this life spent by a person in Paradise is registered inside him as an indelible imprint. She is in him, and from time to time a person feels the echo of this harmony, this radiance, he relives the heavenly moments in beauty, music and poetry. Paradise is inside every human soul, because each of us was in Paradise in the beginning. But now the life that people lead is so prosaic, dull, limited, that they no longer have the opportunity to remember. Sometimes when they are immersed in mystical reading, when they meet some creatures, contemplate some landscapes or hear beautiful music, something awakens in them and they again experience a few moments of paradise. Unfortunately, after a few minutes everything is erased, they forget what they experienced, or even think that it was an illusion that does not need to be pointed out. Such a judgment is regrettable, since these heavenly states correlate with reality, they even exist quite realistically, and it is desirable to experience such moments as often as possible in anticipation of the final return to Paradise, to the bosom of God.

Since such a return will one day occur, God is always ready to meet us and take us into His arms. He is not angry with people, no, He is waiting for them and waiting for the day when they want to come back. And because He gave them eternity, He is magnanimous, He understands everything, He says: "They will suffer for a while - several million years! - and then they will return and be so happy that they will forget about everything. Their spirit is immortal, and it's not that bad, it's not that bad to suffer a little. What's a few million years compared to an eternity?" That's the way God talks, see! His thinking is different from ours, He is not in a hurry ...

And, in anticipation of returning to the bosom of God, people will learn a lot. Precisely so, because now that they have begun the study of dense matter, they must continue it to the end. As long as they lived in the divine world, they could stay there forever, but having descended, they are already obliged to go through all the stages. Imagine that you are standing on the top of a mountain: if you are prudent, if you are careful not to slip, you will not fall and you can stay there as long as you like. But as soon as you slip, you already have to go a certain way through rocks, spikes, with the risk of falling into the abyss. Once you have set in motion a certain law or mechanism, nothing depends on you anymore, you are no longer in power to do what you want - you will have to go through all the trials.

One should not think that the history of mankind could be made without the consent of the Lord and that the disobedience of mankind and the vicissitudes of its fate were not predetermined in advance. A man moved away from God, but God was not absolutely against it, otherwise everything would be very simple, a person would never be able to move away. Everything that man does is, in a sense, with the consent of God. And man will return to Him. After involution, evolution will begin, or, as it is called in the Science of Initiation, reunification, a return to the bosom of the Supreme.

And so that you can see that this idea does not contradict the philosophy of Jesus, I will tell you that it is contained in the parable of the prodigal son. Do you know this parable? The young man left his father's house to go to a distant country, where he spent all his money, he did not even have money for food. One day, when he was forced to herd pigs for his livelihood, and was very hungry, for he was not given even the acorns that the pigs ate, he remembered his father's house, where food was plentiful, and decided to return there. . In this story, Jesus summarized the entire history of mankind. And you know how the father met his prodigal son: as soon as he saw him from afar, he ran to hug him, then he ordered the fat calf to be slaughtered in order to arrange a feast in honor of the return of his son. This is exactly what I'm telling you.

The Lord is waiting for the return of a person who wants to see the world. The man was curious, he wanted to learn something, why bother him? The Lord knew in advance that the person would be unhappy, that he would experience hunger and thirst, that he would suffer because no one would love him the way He loves, but then the person would return and everything would be corrected. They always imagined everything as if the Lord was angry with the misconduct of a person ... Not at all! The Lord allowed him to do so. He had these good plans, He said, "Sooner or later my children will come back." And, like the father of the prodigal son, He prepares a feast for them to treat them.

Good and evil - two forces that turn the wheel of life

Among the questions that people ask, there is one that causes particular concern and a satisfactory answer to which they find with great difficulty - this is the question of the meaning of the existence of evil: why does evil exist? ... The answer, in essence, is very simple.

I will give you an example. Often in the past, when they wanted to get water from a well, they used a large wheel, which was turned by bulls, horses, or even people. The one who watched them saw how some of them seemed to be approaching the wheel, while others seemed to be moving away from it, and one could conclude that they were moving in two opposite directions. But if a person could observe this process from a height, then he would clearly see that both of them go in the same direction and perform the same work.

This example shows us that good and evil, which appear to be opposite manifestations, are actually two forces harnessed to one work, but since they are not looked at from above, that is, from a spiritual, initiatory point of view, they are said to be two forces that oppose each other. All those who look at facts, events from below, that is, at the level where they occur, are mistaken. If they tried to rise up to watch them from the point of view of wisdom, from the point of view of the spirit, then they would have the right vision. They would see a circle, a wheel... and they would understand that good and evil are two forces harnessed together to turn the wheel of life.

If we want to destroy evil, then good will also be destroyed. Of course, this does not mean that we should nourish and strengthen evil, no, it is strong enough without our help, but we should not try to get rid of it either - however, this does not work. What is needed is to use it and determine how to relate to it. Yes, now is the time to give mankind a new philosophy.

If you were in the sun, you might not know darkness, but you came out of the sun, you came to the earth, and since the earth revolves around the sun, light alternates with darkness on it. Since you are outside the sun, you need to recognize this alternation of day and night, light and darkness, good and evil, and not only recognize it, but also be able to use it. If darkness were evil, then how is it that it is in darkness - the darkness of the earth or the subconscious - that achievements of the greatest significance begin to emerge? In fact, darkness is the condition of births or future rebirths. Why a child, why do grains begin to grow in the dark?... And you, how do you use the night? It's wonderful, isn't it: you are asleep, and when you wake up the next morning, you have regained all your strength to start working again.

You say, "Yes, but what is the origin of evil?" There is an eternal Principle which is the Source of all creation. And when this eternal Principle instructed the Elohim to create ... (we will not look too far, we will not talk about the cosmos, but only about our earth), then, since they worked with two principles - male and female, positive and negative (because for these two poles are necessary), it would be inevitable that here and there some wastes would appear - elements that had not yet been organized or used and which violated the harmony of the whole. These materials, these energies, which were not evil for either the Creator or the Archangels, are harmful to people who do not know how to use them.

I'll give you one more example. You have a house: and in this house there is a place for a garbage pail or trash can, as well as for a toilet. For whatever you do, even if you are the most enlightened and most reasonable being, you will always have some waste for the trash can: paper, empty bottles and cans, peels, leftover food; and in your body, too, there are wastes from which you must be freed. Even the best thing in the world has at least one small negative aspect ... as they say, the other side of the coin. It has been noticed by everyone. So how is it that people do not understand the language of all these details of everyday life that are constantly before their eyes? When the earth was created, unused materials had to be collected somewhere, broken glass and bricks, unusable boards and nails - symbolically speaking. Therefore, the earth also has its trash cans: it is the cone of darkness behind it, its shadow. Do astronomers know this?

The source of evil is here, in the waste of materials used in the creation of the earth; and since the waste attracts various animals, ants, flies, worms, etc., it is these creatures that we must necessarily meet when visiting this sphere, although we imagine that we will find joys and pleasures here. The purpose of this sphere, called Hell, the world of darkness, is to collect garbage: it is there that all impurities gather and accumulate.

The question is, why are there creatures coming here in search of happiness? Because just as there are people who are so impoverished that they have to look for leftover food or some old shoes in the garbage, so there are unfortunate people in the spiritual world who do not have the opportunity to eat in restaurants upstairs, near the Angels, Archangels, Lord. They do not have the necessary money (this money, of course, is virtues and virtues) to buy themselves this pure and luminous food coming from the sun, and they are thus forced to go to eat in devilish restaurants where all the evil spirits and fallen creation.

In this realm of evil, in this realm of disorganized forces, you can still find a lot of things, and if you knew how to set to work to transform all waste like the earth, then you would extract from this realm the forces and elements that can feed even Angels. ... It was possible to find chemical methods for cleaning contaminated water! Nature has all the ways to process waste, and man has all these means, he must find them and learn how to use them. But for this he must first understand what good is, for only having understood what good is, he is able to resist evil.

Good is an eternal principle, creative and omnipotent, it is God himself…. although in reality God is above good. In Kabbalah, good and evil are presented as two manifestations of one force that is higher than them. But for ease of understanding, one can imagine God as the Principle of good, even if in reality God is above good. Good is a manifestation of God, and evil is a waste of good, something that could not find its place in cosmic harmony. Thus, evil can never be compared with good, it does not have eternity, strength, power, like good. Therefore, those who think that good and evil are two entities of equal strength fighting among themselves are mistaken, but neither of them can finally defeat the other.

Evil, as I told you, is the departure of good; it can be compared to the substance that remains after the quintessence of rose petals or other flowers has been extracted, to a substance that cannot be purified to a state in which it can reflect the Divine. Evil is what remains when all the good is "extracted". This means that where there is good, evil is also fatally present, since evil is what remains of good, it cannot exist by itself, it has no independent existence; it depends on the good, it was born from the good, it was created by the good. As long as people give evil its own existence, independent of the existence of good, they will never be able to transform it, and evil will continue to annoy them, because it is they, in their ignorance, that endow it with strength and independence.

It is light that creates darkness. Where there is light, there is fatally shadow. The presence of an object gives a shadow. Can there be a shadow when there is no light? No. You will say, "But sometimes darkness reigns precisely because there is no light." No, even if there is complete darkness in some place, it is because some object obstructs the light. Therefore, always half the earth is immersed in darkness. Without light, darkness could not exist, and evil would not exist if there were no good.

Therefore, manifestations of evil are necessary, but they are not eternal and not absolute, they depend on the forces of good. Now, in order to be able to solve the problem, one must go beyond good, and in order to go further than good, one must first of all have a correct idea of ​​what it is. Good is a harmonious manifestation that includes love, strength, intelligence, beauty, tenderness, etc. But as I told you, good is not yet God himself; it is a manifestation of God, but it is not God. God is above good and evil, we cannot know what He is.

But since good is a manifestation of God, then, thinking about good, you connect with the Creator of the universe, with the eternal Principle: our consciousness shifts - it leaves the area of ​​darkness, where suffering, fears, horrors are located in order to reach the Center, the all-encompassing creative Principle. And since it is God the Creator, He knows the role of all elements, all forces, all creatures, and He will know how to help. We cannot know, but He has all the possibilities, and, therefore, it is to Him, because He is above good and evil, that we must resort to asking for help. At that moment, we are able to set in motion exceptionally subtle forces that will begin to work in the entire universe.

This is the most worthy and glorious work for a student. And let him not worry if this work does not give immediate tangible results! Most people work only on material achievements on the physical plane, and that is why they experience such strong disappointment: because these achievements are short-lived. When you decide to work with the most inaccessible Being, with God Himself, then you have real achievements, internal achievements, in consciousness, and these are achievements of immediate action. What is the most remote is actually the closest, and what appears to be the closest is actually the most remote: if you want to experience something, you don't experience it, if you want to get something, you don't get it. And only when you work on the most remote realities do you live them immediately.

Yes, if you want immediate results, set yourself a long-term goal. Say to yourself: "I understood where the truth is, where the power is, where the real life is: it is in that single center over good and evil." And you think about him, you merge with him all the time, you believe only in him, you seek only him, you work only with him ... Then this center will touch the good, which will begin to manifest in you as an improvement in your inner life, before it manifests itself. once also outside of you.

Of course, it is easier to do evil than good. But why?.. Not because good is weak and evil is strong, no, no, no. But because here, on earth, the conditions that mankind has gradually created are much more favorable for evil and contribute to it. Do you want to cause harm? Everyone is ready to help you. But as soon as we are talking about the good, everything is different, the good is as if paralyzed, lulled, weak. This is so because it is always so in the lower spheres, and people dwell too much in the lower spheres. But as soon as one manages to get out of these spheres, the opposite happens: the evil is strangled, detained, bound. When you live in the higher spheres, it is impossible to do evil, and if you want to do good, then this happens by itself.

I can give you an example: suppose it's winter, it's damp all around, everything is covered with snow; if you want to set fire to the forest, nothing will work, the fire will not start. But in the summer, when it's hot, a small piece of glass is enough to concentrate the sun's rays to set everything on fire; as if the whole forest agrees to blaze, because the conditions favor it. Try also to shoot from a cannon, if the gunpowder is wet - nothing will come of it ... And so on. Now you understand that if evil is much stronger than good on earth, it is because people have created more favorable conditions for it. But one day everything will change, everything will be the other way around; evil will no longer be able to manifest itself, favorable conditions for it will no longer be.

To control evil, dominate it or transform it, it is not enough to be a servant of good, because good, as I told you, is limited. Good failed to defeat evil, because it is not yet God Himself, it is only half, and the second half is evil. Good and evil are brother and sister, if you will, but they are not father. And you need to go to the father, because it is he who controls the son and daughter, or two brothers. Going to your father means becoming a servant of God, and not just a servant of good. This means that we must rise even higher in order to serve God, who governs good and evil. The real refuge is there. Of course, there is no evil above, and insofar as good means perfection, it can be said that to be a servant of good is to be a servant of God. But good in the form in which we understand it with the mind, that is, as the opposite of evil, is not yet God; it's only half of it.

I can give you other examples that will confirm to you the truth of what I am telling you. Let's take circulation. If there were only arterial circulation, then life would be impossible, because all the waste must be gone, and then the other half, the venous circulation, begins to operate: it brings blood to the lungs, where it is purified, and when the blood is pure, it enters heart, from where it goes back into the arteries. Therefore, pure blood, goodness, comes out of the heart; yes, but after a while this goodness is loaded with new impurities, and so on ... The same phenomenon is characteristic of the movement of cars on the roads: the oncoming movement of cars on the left and right ... If there was only one direction, one side of the movement, then what would the cars do, which need to come back?

This means that evil does not lie only in the fact that opposing forces allegedly exist, for they work in the same direction. But if, instead of doing the work determined by the cosmic Mind, these forces would collide, fight and destroy each other, then this would already be evil. It's like fire and water. How many extraordinary things can be done by putting water on fire! .. but with a partition separating them, otherwise the fire will evaporate the water or the water will extinguish the fire, which happens in all areas of life if you are ignorant. The forces of evil, poisons, are only harmful to a person who is not sufficiently educated and not strong enough to use them. But it is not harmful to nature.

One might even say that in some way the evil is contained in the good. Let's take nutrition as an example. When we eat, we assimilate elements that are useful, necessary for our health, and we eliminate those that the body cannot assimilate, and which, by the way, would poison it if it could not get rid of them. Thus, evil is contained in good, they are connected, and it is the body's business to separate and eliminate evil. Let's take other examples. You meet the most charming, most attractive girl and you marry her: it is a great boon. Yes, but you are not the only one fascinated by this creature, others are also interested in her, and now it begins: suspicions, jealousy, quarrels ... and it’s good if it ends there! Imagine that you inherit a huge fortune: now you are rich, that's wonderful! Yes, but here worries also begin: you will be begging for money all the time, you risk being robbed at any moment, you will never have peace again ... And the same thing - no matter what area of ​​\u200b\u200blife you take. Only wisdom is able to use good and evil, and even more so to make sure that good does not turn into evil.

As I told you at the beginning, good and evil are harnessed to the same wheel; if only goodness existed, it would not be able to make it turn. Perhaps I alone dare to say that good cannot do all the work if evil does not help it. You will say, however, that evil is the opposite force... Exactly, this is exactly what is needed for it to be opposite! When you want to cork or uncork a bottle, you use both your hands, and they act in opposite directions: one pushes in one direction and the other in the opposite direction, but thanks to this opposition, you manage to insert or pull out the cork. Now you understand how opposing forces work for a specific purpose ... This is a process that is before your eyes every day, but you do not see it.

In conclusion, I will tell you that you must think every day about how you can connect with the Lord, with the Center containing everything. And, for its part, the Lord (and He is tireless, never rests, He is eternal and indestructible, He is above good) will unite the forces of good, and the forces of good will purify and organize everything wonderfully.

Above the concepts of good and evil

We can say that there are two schools: the school of good and the school of evil. In the school of goodness, it is advised to discard everything that is bad, in the hope that, by acting in this way, you will find salvation. In the school of evil, they fight against good, imagining that they can crush it. But there is a much higher school, much higher than the schools of good and evil, because it manages to use both of these schools: it uses both good and evil, but in homeopathic doses, to achieve amazing results; it does not reject anything, but it teaches that if evil exists, then God allows its existence, otherwise it would have disappeared long ago.

Yes, if evil exists, then God agrees with its existence, otherwise it would be necessary to admit that He fails to defeat an enemy who is stronger than Him and, therefore, God is not an omnipotent Master who rules the universe. If something opposes Him in Creation, then who created everything? Another God, more powerful than He?.. By the way, people often thought so. They said to themselves: "What kind of God is this, who is capable of little? He does not know everything, He is not able to prophesy or perform miracles, but the Other is capable of this ... So let's go to him!" In a sense, they reasoned correctly. Why serve an incapable, feeble God when all knowledge and all gifts come from his adversary, the Devil? And that's what the Church said! If anyone did miracles... it was the Devil! Some believers have never acknowledged that these miracles are performed by God: according to their understanding, God was incapable of this. So do not be surprised that people signed agreements with Satan, it was logical! This is where you can go when the elite have lost the keys to true knowledge...

You will say, "Yes, but if God is truly omnipotent, then why doesn't He come to help us get out of suffering and sorrow?" Yes, because we have put so many barriers between Him and ourselves, so many false and contradictory ideas, that He is not able to help us. And then in the minds of people there is an opinion that God is so far and inaccessible that He does not hear them, while the Devil is very close, he hears them and can heed their request. Try it, do your research, and you will see if people think like this: "This God that we have been praying for so long is not available ... deaf ... He has fallen asleep ... But the Devil is awake, he is right there right there." This is true, but people do not know that they themselves have established this distance, that they have dug this abyss between themselves and God. In fact, no one else is as close to us, no one loves us as much as God, and no one wants to help us as much as He does. But we must free ourselves from everything that prevents this love from reaching us.

You remember, I once told you that the sun, which makes the planets move, which causes the growth of plants and epidemics, wars and all sorts of events, by a simple change in the streams it sends, the sun is powerless in front of a window with drawn curtains ... If you have drawn the curtains, then you can as much as you you want to beg him: "Come, dear sun, come to me, shine on me, you are so beautiful!", and it will answer: "I cannot ... I cannot ... You must remove the curtains." And we are waiting for God to remove our curtains! No, no, and even at the risk of being branded a blasphemer, I'll tell you: "God can do anything, but He is powerless before your closed curtains. It's up to you to raise them."

In any case, do not imagine that if God allowed evil to manifest itself in this world, this means that He cannot defeat him, and even more so that He needs people to help him, as many Christians think. You realize what kind of help from people can be! Perhaps you will be surprised, but I will tell you that evil is necessary and even obligatory in the work of nature, because she knows how to use it. It's like in a laboratory where poisons are needed to make very strong medicines. Evil is a poison that can kill the weak and ignorant, but for strong and intelligent people it is a panacea, it cures them. This is the philosophy of the third school: to use evil.

There are indications everywhere to enlighten people and make them think. Then why don't they know how to use difficulties and trials? This is the question that the student must work on from now on. Imagine that you wanted to defeat the enemy, and not knowing that it is really a friend who failed to introduce himself to you, you kill him, as sometimes happens. Thus, you must first of all study this "enemy" that hinders you: perhaps you will find that not only is he not so harmful and hostile, but that you can make a friend out of him.

We perceive evil as hostile forces. In fact, they have no hostility towards us; it's just that everything that doesn't suit us seems hostile to us. How not to recognize as hostile elements that paralyze or poison us? Everything that does not vibrate in harmony with us, that blocks the way for us, that darkens or depresses our consciousness, appears to us as an enemy, this is normal. But is this situation final? No, because if you manage to transform it, this element will become a beneficial force for you. Do you want examples?

In the beginning, fire, lightning, water, wind were the enemies of man, who fought against them and died in the struggle. When he began to master all these forces, he realized that they were hostile to him only because he did not know how to conquer them in order to use them. Then why not understand that the same thing can be done in life with other forces? In reality, evil is a very powerful force that we don't have a good relationship with because we don't know how to control it. And, of course, everything that we do not know how to use can only harm us. Electricity gives us one of the best examples of what a person can do to channel energy that, in its purest form, will immediately destroy him. Look at all these networks of wires, at these transformers, devices, buttons ... Now we have managed to subdue electricity so well that even a child can safely use it.

How simple and clear it is. When we study forces that we usually consider bad, we can see that they are not, because evil does not exist in nature.

Look, the earth is smarter than people: all the dirt, all the waste is thrown into it, and it accepts them as a very valuable substance, which it transforms into plants, flowers and fruits. And coal: how did it become coal? .. And oil? .. And precious stones? .. So, if the earth and some Initiates have this wisdom, if God has this wisdom, since He does not want to destroy evil, then why should we also not try to get it? For thousands of years people have been pleading: "Lord God, crush the evil!" But God smiles and says: "Poor! When they understand that evil is necessary, they will stop begging me." But until then, how many prayers! Of course, you need to pray, but you need to ask for this: “Lord God, explain to us how You created the world, how You look at things ... Give me this understanding, this wisdom, this mind, so that I can, like You, be above evil so that it does not affect me, and I could use it to realize something significant. How many more examples show us that what is evil for some is not necessarily evil for others! Some animals are remarkably resistant to fire, others to cold, still others to poison, and still others to deprivation. Some don't die even if their body is cut in half... People's ideas of evil are their own fabrications, they don't apply everywhere. This is what I want to tell you: these are our own ideas, our own views, but there are other creatures who look at the problem of evil differently, because they have reached such a stage of development that they know how to use it.

I can give you so many more examples! If you fill your stomach with water, then it is good, but if you fill your lungs with water, then you will feel bad. Fill your lungs with air, this is good, but let it into your stomach ... you will feel bad! The conclusion to be drawn is that what is good in one case becomes evil in another.

To those who have sore eyes, the light is harmful: it means that the light can also be good or evil, depending on whom. This proves once again that people cannot know what evil is as long as they judge it based on their weaknesses and imperfections. As they approach perfection, they will change their minds. Therefore the opinion of ordinary people about evil is so different from that of the Initiates and the sages; outside of this frightening aspect that instills fear in the weak, the Initiates know how to find a beneficial force in evil, even a friend.

By the way, the best way to weaken is to perceive evil as an enemy. When you meet an obstacle, learn to see it as a foundation, a solid and stable anchor point for your work. When you went on an excursion to the mountains, did you notice that bumps and ledges helped you climb? If you want your life to be smooth and without any bumps, how will you get to the top? And most importantly: what will be the descent! Fortunately, there are bumps, and thanks to them you are still alive. Don't ask for your life to run smoothly, without suffering, without interference... without sorrow, without enemies, because you won't have anything to hold onto as you rise. If you get everything you ask for - an easy, quiet life, with pleasures, money - then inwardly there will soon be nothing left of you. It's good that Heaven doesn't listen to you! Everyone asks only for an easy and abundant life, not knowing that in reality they are begging for misfortune.

I know it's hard to accept what I'm saying. Every day I bring you one aspect of this philosophy, and sometimes you are a little upset because these ideas do not correspond to your understanding. But get rid of your concepts, try to accept mine, and you will see the results! But no, you are stubborn: "I want power, I want money, fame and the whole world admires me ..." My God, people's desires! One wants to have a store with branches, the other - a cabaret or a hairdressing salon ... And all these girls and women who want to be movie actresses or Miss-is-not-known-what and walk down the street with a small dog in order to from time to time some has a man stopped to admire the dog: "Oh, how sweet she is! Oh, how nice she is!", when in fact he would like to talk to the owner of the dog ... having certain views on her! If only it were possible to look into the hearts of men and women, what would we see there! Wow! something to laugh at...or cry about!

Since evil is an explosive force and element that has not yet been subdued, one must say to oneself that there is always the possibility of reaching the highest degree of knowledge and perfection and to achieve this. As long as there is something higher than us, it may turn out to be evil for us. This means that we need to improve ourselves in order to reach the highest degree, which will allow us to be above evil in order to be able to turn it into good. Let's take very young children: if you give them the same food and the same drinks as adults, they can die from this, but when they grow up, get stronger, this can no longer harm them. So you see, these are the facts of everyday life that anyone could notice, but from which the correct conclusions were not drawn. One must get used to observing the facts of life.

If people do not have a correct understanding of good and evil, it is only because they have passed by the essence of the problem and do not know that what is bad for some may be good for others. Thus, if the student knows how to strengthen himself and advance in his understanding of things, then the evil that destroys, poisons or destroys others will make him more beautiful, nobler and give him health. This means that we must not fight evil, but strengthen ourselves in order to resist it. What do we do against rain, snow, storms? Do we go out of the house to cry out to calm down the forces of nature? Yes, perhaps this is what happens in some fairy tales; but in everyday life we ​​take care of our house, we strengthen it, check the insulation, install good heating, that's all, that's enough. Yes, we know what to do on the material plane, but in the inner life we ​​act like ignoramuses: we want to destroy evil. Why fight against evil? Engage in self-strengthening to better understand and act better.

But, of course, if a person is seriously ill, it is not easy for him to strengthen himself in order to overcome the disease. But this happens because for many years, even for many incarnations, we did everything to bring ourselves to illness, and, therefore, now we need to work just as long to restore our health. This does not contradict what I just told you. If you have done everything to be weak, frail, dark, ignorant, then you can be sure that you have succeeded. It cannot be denied that evil exists, but first we must understand that we ourselves fed it, and then we must change our mind about evil; we have the option to loosen it, spray it, or use it.

I never said that most people do not live in difficult or even catastrophic conditions. You have to be blind not to recognize this sad, sad and lamentable reality. But I still insist that you have to be satisfied. Because I often feel that something in you is resisting and you think: "Does he, the Teacher, really not see what difficult conditions we live in?" Oh yes, I see it, I see only this one thing around. But I also see something else: I see favorable conditions that exist here, which you do not see, because the difficulties cloud you so much that you see nothing but them. And I see mainly those favorable conditions that are in yourself, treasures, amazing riches, while you see only the external side of the situation. When you understand me, you will feel stronger, you will say: "Ah! We needed someone who would also see the good side and who would encourage us." Yes, you see only your weaknesses, your poverty, your wife who left you, children who do not want to listen to anything ... but there is so much more to see!

Listening to me, of course, you immediately feel encouraged, but an hour later you have already lost all your courage, your inspiration. The very first slightest difficulty you encounter, a look, an unkind word, finally knocks you out of the saddle. How many times have I noted this: at the slightest blow you are crushed.

Assimilate this thought: what is evil for some may turn out to be good for others - this thought will help you a lot. If you understand that evil is not absolute, that it is even very relative, then it will be much easier for you to bear it, and little by little you will see that what used to cause you suffering leaves you indifferent. You will even think: "So much the better, Heaven sets me free!" How many Initiates noticed that all the losses that they experienced, all the trials that they went through, in fact, served only their liberation. So accept also their philosophy, otherwise every time you have to sing hymns of praise to the Almighty and songs of joy, you will still be able to be unhappy.

Through the light of understanding, from day to day, evil can be transformed into good, while if you don't understand it and don't use it, it remains evil. So, my dear brothers and sisters, a good future awaits you, by accepting these truths, you will have fantastic opportunities. If you really understand, then nothing can stop you. Since on the physical plane people succeed in using the forces of nature - wind, waterfalls, sea tides - they should be able to achieve the same on the psychic plane, it is only a problem of behavior. The main thing is to understand that there is no need to fight.

The occultists who wanted to lash out at evil, who declared war on evil, died because of it. They did not know the truths that I am revealing to you, they risked fighting evil alone, and they were bound to fail. I am not saying that the Initiate should not fight evil, but first he must prepare for a long time, purify himself in order to allow the Lord to settle in him so that He can manifest through him in all his power. Only God himself can destroy evil. And we do not have enough scope, nor strength, nor ways to do it. Read the Apocalypse, it says that the Archangel Michael chained the dragon, a symbol of evil, and locked him up for a thousand years. Here we need to think: since the Archangel Michael himself, who has all the power, does not destroy evil, but only fetters it, then how could we, the poor, be able to resist it?

Many of you are, of course, surprised by this new perspective on the perception of evil. In fact, what I am telling you is only a deduction from the observations that all of you can make daily. It's just that people don't have the habit of focusing on the minor events of everyday life in order to learn and interpret their language. However, it is in everyday life and in nature that philosophical problems of the highest significance are manifested and resolved, and even much more clearly and simply than in such abstract philosophical books.

Evil is, as it were, an unorganized force that torments a person because he has not yet acquired the ability to subjugate and control it; but the disciple, if he realizes that what is taken as evil can serve him well in his spiritual advancement, gradually becomes the master of all situations. Since we will never be able to defeat evil, we must now replace the words "fight, kill, eradicate, uproot", which are an expression of erroneous views, with other words such as: "tame, master, direct, aim, ennoble, use", expressing a more advanced , a more spiritual point of view. At this point, the black color of the coal turns into a brilliant red. Whether it's sexual power, rage, jealousy, malice, etc., whether it's an enemy or sickness or whatever temptation, if we embrace this new philosophy, we'll always have the best conditions for it. to work, to strengthen oneself, and finally resolve one's problems.

And here's what I advise you. When you want to consider some phenomenon as evil, ask yourself the question: "Is it really evil? Isn't it good in disguise?" Until you ask yourself this question, you will fight or rebel, and you will not use this evil, which was actually good, which you failed to see. People rarely know what is good for them and what is bad. How many things they used to consider good, but in fact - this is a real danger! How many successes and good luck contributed only to the fact that some people were plunged into disaster! And, on the contrary, how many obstacles, failures have become for those who managed to use them, the true reason for their future triumph. But you have to live a lot in the world, study a lot and go through many trials in order to understand how true this is.

The article continues the post "Wheel of Life - Tools of the System". It deals in detail with planning and changing lives. Tools for clearing the external and internal territory, ways to expand the comfort zone are given.

In the last article, you discovered the history of the “balance wheel” concept, learned to diagnose and analyze the situation of the present moment, learned the law of compensation and the Pareto principle, the dependence of the energy of the sectors and the three-way move to expand the comfort zone. If you didn’t have time to read The Wheel of Life - System Tools, it’s better to go back and study the material from the beginning.

We'll start this one with a metaphor. Then we will analyze what affects the radius of our comfort zone and the energy level of each area of ​​​​life. Let's get acquainted with the limiters of energy circulation, the concept of "awareness", learn about the impact on the fate of fears and lies.

Balance Wheel - Treasures of Opportunity

The "Wheel of Life" is a diagnostic tool, a visual image of our state, a psychotechnique for changing fate. The image of the wheel of life evokes different associations. Wagon wheel or mill. Who is closer.

If we consider a water mill, then the river is a stream from the past to the future. In this case, the shorter the blades of the wheel, the less immersion in life. The slower the rotation of the millstone, which turns situations and opportunities into the final product. In what you can feed not only yourself, but also others. Material values, useful knowledge, deep ideas, reflections of inner and outer beauty.

Associations are individual. A comparison with the screw of the first steamboats comes to mind. Remember Mark Twain's ships plowing the Mississippi? Our goals, desires and dreams are points on the route map. Achievements - stops. The steamboat is the present moment. The screw attached to the side is our wheel of life. Short blades barely strike the water - the ship is idling. One protrudes excessively - all the load is on him. Everything will break. Surrendered to the will of the waves.

If the ship is still equipped with a sail - additional support. Way out of seemingly hopeless situations. The sail is faith.

Fixed boats - insurance. Those investments in yourself, the meaning of which is invisible to a superficial glance. Strategic investments.

Comfort zone

Comfort zone - stable and predictable actions, situations, people, places. Areas of life where we are calm, safe, comfortable.

The diameter of the comfort zone is determined by our psychosomatic blocks, patterns of behavioral reactions and stereotypes of thinking.

Human existence is defined by three spheres that have long been known in philosophy and psychology. Take a look at the diagram:

Each of these global spheres of being has its own comfort zone.

In the inner world, we avoid everything that brings frightening or painful experiences. For example, we avoid remembering something or thinking about something, and so on. A commonplace example is the avoidance of thoughts about death.

In the area of ​​the immediate environment and space, the comfort zone manifests itself clearly. It is unpleasant for us when the interlocutor is very close to us. We perceive this as a violation of our territorial integrity. Moreover, the radius of this territory will be different for a Japanese, a European and an American.

If the interlocutor touched on a topic that is taboo for us, we try to hide in the comfort zone or protect it at all costs.

And now carefully study the connection between the comfort zone and destiny:

The best solution usually lies outside your comfort zone. Sometimes we understand it, sometimes we don't. In the first case, a compromise decision is made, in the second case, an incorrect one.

I state it in such detail so that you do not have any difficulties in parsing the bundle of sectors of the wheel of balance, our resources, intentions and capabilities.

Working to expand your comfort zone takes willpower. I advise you to get acquainted with the recommendations on the topic: "The battery of the will - learning to recharge", "Development of the will", "Development of the will - myths and stereotypes".

In the last post of the topic, I promised to tell more fully about the energy of each sphere of life and its circulation in the wheel of balance.

Balance wheel - energy circulation

Before talking about energy, we need to define terms. By energy I mean the potentials of our resources. Agree, this is more convenient than referring to a certain force, like the Jedi or Joe Vitale.

Often people have to give up their important and not very desires - for a variety of reasons ... Of course, we are accustomed to dominate desires, and not to serve them ... But if this happens constantly, it exhausts and really happens to be as harmful as they say psychologists and just fabulous fairies, then what depends in such a situation on you personally - the person reading these lines?

We live in a time of all sorts of contradictions and paradoxes. And perhaps one of the most significant for each of us is the gap between the amount of information surrounding us and its actual implementation. This is really a huge problem! On the one hand, the information wave tends to the size of a tsunami, and the term "information" is used in more and more areas ("information revolution", "information war", "information blockade"). On the other hand, indignant voices are heard more and more often, claiming that we live in the "era of dilettantes." Perhaps each of us can give many examples of unskilled service in any area of ​​life - from a loader who does not know how to approach the refrigerator, and ending with a teacher who speaks Surzhik. Why is this happening? The reasons are many. Let's take a look at those that we can influence.

Information and energy

First of all, for many modern people there is no difference between the words "information" and "knowledge". That is why it is very common to hear “I know how to do it” from people who have never done what they advise others to do. This is especially true for advisers "from the humanities." There is even the phrase "theoretical knowledge", as opposed to the term "skills", that is, the ability to do something. And the situation when a specialist comes to production after a university, sometimes even with a red diploma (that is, it is assumed that he has a very large store of knowledge), and practical skills are equal or tend to zero - has become a byword. This is one aspect of which the sages and mentors say the following: knowledge This is information based on personal experience.

There is a deeper meaning in this story, which few people know about, but which each of us has encountered at least once in our lives, knowing, but not doing ... Agree, your plans when you are preparing for the first time to do something useful for yourself - at least sign up for a pool, or start doing exercises - often remain plans. Especially if you are going to do it alone or without friendly supervision, support from a person significant to you. And we are talking here not only and not so much about laziness or habits. Behind the notorious laziness is very often a lack, sometimes catastrophic, of free personal energy. However, in order to overcome a habit that has become unnecessary and form a new one, free personal energy is also required. Moreover, in such a situation, it is necessary even more than to overcome laziness!

Energy sources

What does the term "free personal energy" mean? According to Eastern wisdom and confirmed by modern adherents of various esoteric schools, a person has at his disposal several sources of energy = life force both for his daily activity and for everything new in his life. And most of these sources are irreplaceable. And besides the fact that we are not only unable to replenish our reserves, we also receive this vital force in fact one-time, at a time when we ourselves cannot manage it in any way. Namely: we acquire the main part of vital energy at the moment of conception, and some more - somewhere in the 12th week of pregnancy. And only after our birth, we have the opportunity to accumulate energy already in a renewable source. It is these reserves that are considered “free personal energy”. And the accumulation comes from the sources listed below.

Nutrition - the more natural and properly prepared foods, the more energy they have that we can turn into our life force. And the less free personal energy is needed to digest food. Nutritionists have long known that for processing, for example, even the most dietary meat, more energy is needed than we get in the end! And the original value of meat is not in its energy reserves, but in the content of essential amino acids.

Breathing - and not in the sense of gas exchange, but in the sense of getting at our disposal the energy spilled in space, known to us as prana.

Physical work on the ground, and just a walk in nature - especially if we can afford the luxury of walking barefoot!

The sun - in fact its stellar essence!

Loving something or someone. At such moments, we become open to receive not only the energy put into the work by its author, but also to better absorb prana.

Free personal energy of people. And first of all, the people to whom we are dear! Any other person can become an energy donor. How is not the point. But it is this path that ultimately leads to energy vampirism.

Dream. It is not for nothing that when we get sick, we begin to sleep more than usual.

Here, in general, and all the most significant ways to replenish free personal energy. I arrange them in a random order so that everyone can choose the maximum sources available for conscious use at their discretion.

wasted

Where does free personal energy go if there are so many sources of it?

1. First of all, this is our everyday life. After all, even when we just think, we spend more than when we sleep.
2. Communication with people, especially those who are not very pleasant to us. Sometimes such communication exhausts us to the point of impotence. Hence, a simple way to save your own personal energy is not to associate with people who are unpleasant. Difficult, do not want to spoil the relationship? Then think about it: do they make you happier? Does such communication give you strength for your personal life, for activity aimed at achieving your own well-being and the well-being of the beings around you?
3. Empty chatter. Moreover, this is a more costly “cost item” than most people imagine! No wonder the practice of conscious silence is considered one of the most powerful techniques on the path of self-awareness and personal growth.
4. Excessive emotionality. It has long been known that excessively expressed emotions simply devour our free personal energy. In this case, we are not talking about conscious emotional coldness - this is just as harmful as splashing emotions right and left for the slightest reason. It is important to manifest them appropriately and appropriately.
5. Sex. To be more precise - sex that does not bring mutual pleasure. Here, I think, it is possible to explain nothing. Most likely, each of us has more than once experienced moments when, instead of fullness and the feeling that you can move mountains, the body was filled with nasty emptiness ...

Forming a new habit

And finally - the simplest and most accessible opportunity not to waste free personal energy. This method is to live, being aware of yourself and every minute of your life.

What does it give?

We stop wasting energy.

What happens when we live "out of habit"?

Very imperceptibly, but irreversibly, we squander free personal energy!

How exactly?

Each in their own way, but something like this.

• In the morning, you choose between a plaid shirt and a turtleneck. Having made a choice, then for half a day, or even until the evening, you continue to argue with yourself whether you made the right choice. So, all this time you are presenting the “not chosen” clothes with your free personal energy! A trifle? Let's remember our day...
• On the way to work in the window you notice an appetizing and inexpensive, but very high-calorie cake. But your waist is dearer to you, and therefore the cake remains in the shop. And yet you spend half a day savoring a delicacy that has not been eaten. And again, you give him free personal energy ...
• At lunchtime, you run into the nearest shoe boutique. What a blessing - there is a sale! And those boots over there - just your favorite style, and what a gorgeous rich color! And on the leg - well, just super! And then you notice the numbers on the price tag. Oh God! Is it at a discount - and a whole monthly salary ?! And the boots are sadly put back on the shelf, while remaining in your memory and feelings for some rather long time. This is how you spend your free personal energy again.
• And also during the day - not bought, but very interesting book; handbag purchased yesterday by a colleague; a young man in the subway who evoked warmth in his soul, but did not come up to ask for the phone number ... Well, and so on and so forth!

Everyone has their own, but everyone, in fact, is the same - a lot of unfulfilled desires during the day, memories of which take more time in your memory than is necessary for their fulfillment. This is where we pour free personal energy.

Sometimes this leads us to the evening to complete exhaustion. And the strength is already enough only to get to your favorite chair and collapse exhausted into it, for some minutes. And then - dinner, telly or magazine, or sleep. After all, tomorrow is a new day - and again a million opportunities to deprive yourself of the chance to do something new, to take the first step towards something hitherto unknown, maybe very important in your life, but never realized.

Or you still find the strength to turn information into knowledge - and take the first step towards your dream!

Practice "How to release the energy of desires"

Purpose of the exercise- to discover under the heap of desires one or two thoroughly forgotten unrealized desires that block the free flow of energy.

Get a "Wish List (your name)". You can have this file on your computer. Once a day, take the time to gradually remember to write in this sheet all the desires that have not been realized since early childhood. You can make a sign, you can write it in a line - as you prefer.

Recording format:

• the unfulfilled desire itself;
• approximate age when it appeared;
• the situation in which it appeared;
• physical sensations of the body that you track when you remember this desire.

The process is important to perform day after day without interruption, without stretching it for more than a week. Usually, the “same” memory of a thoroughly forgotten desire happens to people on the 3-4th day.

Usually people write out from 50 to 150 unfulfilled desires. In your case, there may be a unique number, you should not tune in to a specific task.

Remembering your unfulfilled desires and releasing them by writing out the physical sensations of the present moment, you can create in yourself (in your body) the feeling that you are gradually freeing yourself from something. Step by step you move deeper into yourself, slowly, more slowly and more powerfully, without fuss you plunge into the hidden corners of your inner universe. Each time in one prescribing session, you reach a state of total devastation for the moment of practice. And one day there may be an insight. Suddenly you discover something, perhaps long forgotten. Forgotten so much that you have never in your life remembered this event, situation, desire. Move like a gold digger. You don't know where this "forgotten thing", pulling back with a backpack, hid. You don't even know if it exists at all.

You just sink slowly and powerfully deeper... And at some point this insight can happen by itself.

It is necessary to deprive yourself of expectations of immediate results. You don’t need to do anything with the written desires, you just need to remember the main goal - to free yourself from the burden of unfulfilled desires that accumulate and interfere with the free flow of energy from the inside out, from dreams to realization?
