Schizophrenics and Others

How God Can Be Cognized / Schizophrenics and Others

Schizophrenics and Others

Spiritual work with people turned out a remarkable psychiatric practicum for me. Fortunately, I studied psychiatry before!

For example, schizophrenic women, at least two times, included me into their astral sexual adventures. At first, they enjoyed it, but later suddenly decided that I “draw their energy”; then their love turned into hatred. Of course, I was not aware of it, until learning from rumors about their afflictions.

In the similar way some male instructors got into trouble.

What is the cause and mechanism of this phenomenon typical in psychiatry?

The cause and mechanism lie beyond the framework of the materialistic psychiatry. The cause here is ethical, and the mechanism is mystical. The cause is lust, which got manifested in this case in the form of sexual fantasies with use of a particular image. In such case this image gets used by spirits, and it becomes really animated for the sick person. Those women “played” not with me, but with demons.

And schizophrenic men went around me with divining rods, which were controlled by demons, claiming that I “pave the road to hell” by doing that which is not prescribed by the Russian Orthodoxy.

Schizophrenic “mages” started “astral fights” with me and with some other instructors. As a response, we submerged into the Pranava opposing them with love.

The schizophrenic husband of one of my students attacked the instructress accusing her of draining the energy from all members of the group. The reason for this accusation is the fact that her wife after taking the class comes home tired and always sleeps off for few hours… But it is hard work to give classes! Such meditative and bioenergetical work is very tiring! And it is the instructor who gets tired most of others. The tiredness of the instructor, when he gives to the group the exercises on cleansing the chakras, for example, is much higher than in other cases! Usually, beginner instructors fall sick as a result of such overload! Their work is heroism, self-sacrifice for the sake of the students’ good!

Once, a young woman-instructress got an inflammation of the genitalia and urinary bladder. She asked me: “Why?! I have had no contact…” I saw with clairvoyance a dark energy “hose” running to that part of her body. I cut it with an image of a sword, and the pain disappeared immediately. We traced this “hose” — one of the students on her classes turned out to be a sexual maniac! It was enough to burn the head-sucker of this “hose-tentacle” and the sickness went away completely.

I remember also the following case. A “veteran” schizophrenic person (registered in the mental hospital) came to know my students. His face was masklike already — as of the heroes of old horror films.

In the past he was engaged in exorcism performed for the possessed in the Orthodox church and got a belief that he is a “Messiah”. Some “voice” convinced him that his task is to ensure advent of the Lord Maitreya — a new Buddha.

This required, firstly, accumulation of the necessary amount of energy. What kind of energy? The energy released by irritated people! To make them to release the energy, he “irritated” them: brawled, broke windows, did not let people sleep calling them by phone… If they beat him, he was glad: he took suffering for the sake of “saving the mankind”.

The second part of his “mission” consisted in begetting the Lord. The mother necessarily had to be one of our School’s students. He even made attempts of raping. But his face was so terrifying and he was so disgusting that his victims collected enough strength for opposing him.

Strikingly enough, he managed to made up a group of disciples-“apostles”, which included two of my former disciples — a student-physicist and a student-medic. Later, the former became an Orthodox priest, and the latter repented of this telling me, “Why didn’t I recognize it?! We studied all this in psychiatry!”

Fortunately, the acts of the “Messiah” were not long: he was attacked by a similar schizophrenic in the past, who committed suicide. The deceased began to “suck energy” of the “Messiah” and drove him to jumping out of a window…

… Yes, Gorbachev liberated the people of the Earth from the atheistic “infection”. Among other things, he gave to people the freedom of talking and listening about the non-material phenomena, about the religion. Yet, in our country there were almost no true spiritual culture, true spiritual preachers! And when the freedom of speech was proclaimed and people got the possibility to preach the mystico-religious ideas, then this field was immediately occupied to a large extent by the ignorant seeking glory and fame and also by mentally ill people.

… Once in Saint Petersburg an alcoholic appeared who proclaimed himself a prophet. Of course, some people immediately became his followers, and he taught them. The basic idea of his course consisted in living in two opposite regimes alternately: two months — in the “yes-program”, then two months — in the “no-program”. This means either accepting all offers and actions of other people or rejecting them…

On the “yes-program” he mangled, at least, two young women I knew.

The first of them met a drug addict, abandoned her family, and got completely immersed in drug addiction. (Apparently, about she never recalled the “no-program”).

Another woman, immersed in the “yes-program”, got into the following situation. Once, a group of guys seeking sexual entertainment approached her and asked whether she wants to spend time with them. “Yes”. Let’s go out of the town? “Yes”. Get into the car (“Yes”); came somewhere. Now, undress!… At this point she got completely confused: it must be “No!”

She tried to resist. They, of course, got angry: spent so much time on her, and now she “poses”. They beat her, raped, even wanted to kill…

She described all this to me two months later: complained about total disorder of the activity of all organs of the abdomen. I looked with clairvoyance — the abdomen was filled with their devilish black malice…

… I also remember very well the first conference on bioenergetics arranged in Moscow,

Some of the speakers demonstrated slides with defects, which appeared as a result of bad development of the film (bubbles, which were not shook off the film, produced light spots), and presented these defects as an “instrumental registration” of invisible for eyes aliens, who control us…

Another speaker dedicated all his speech to praising oneself impudently. Though, it was unclear — for what?

Someone argued that he is a reincarnation of Jesus Christ. The proof: making mathematical manipulations with the number of his passport and numerical values of the letters in his address results in a cross (?)…

Someone began his absurd speech by proclaiming pathetically that he is the best psychic in the world!…

Another “best psychic”, seeking a seat for himself in the auditorium, simply thrown off from the chair he liked a youth who was sitting there…

It is interesting to note that in our country two subjects became the most popular among the mystically inclined part of the population: urinotherapy and vampires.

* * *

Urinotherapy is use of urine with therapeutic and other purposes. In our country, it started with a “boom” around the silly book titled The Water of Life, which became paradoxically popular in a certain group of society. And many people began… to drink urine, to wash thmeselves with urine, etc.

Yes, the urine of those using much salt when used externally in the form of lotion, compresses, rinsing can give the same healing effect as hypertensive solution of common salt — a well known preparation in medicine which is used for relieving edemas and inflammations including purulent ones.

Yes, one-time use of urine or a short course of taking it inside causes a physiological stress in the organism, as a reaction to the poison. This stress activates protective systems of the organism; activated, they eliminate some inflammatory processes in the internal organs of the body. There are cases of such recovery.

Yet, for many people excessive and constant use of urine became a kind of means for total rejuvenating of the organism and… for spiritual self-development…

I remember the following instance: in the room of a single woman advanced in years, a member of a “juvenology club” (juvenology is the science about rejuvenation), in the “front corner” on a shelf above an icon-lamp there are two icons: Mary the Mother of God and Vladimir Lenin in identical frames. In front of them, a jar with urine of that woman is being “sanctified”.

I was invited into that club for giving a lecture about rejuvenation. I had been telling them for a long time about distressing, about the role of chakras in regulation of emotions and work efficiency, about efficacy of winter swimming and meditative running, about meditative merging with the light of rising sun and attunement to the songs of robins…

After the lecture one woman stood up and told me; “But you didn’t tell us about the main thing. We waited your advice concerning in what doses and in what courses we should drink urine?”

I was perplexed.

I did not know the specifics of this club. And I answered, “But do you need to drink urine? One mustn’t do it at all!”

This resulted in much agitation! The women surrounded me: “How can you say things like that?! This professor advised us to drink urine, and that doctor gave us a lecture, and he, too, drinks urine!”

… But doctor Yevgeny Schadilov [51] writes about many known to him cases of resuscitation of people who were too keen about this perversion.

I observed stable intellectual degradation of virtually all people known to me, who drank urine for long time.

Two of such acquaintances of mine were even registered in the mental hospital as ill with schizophrenia.

When I came to know about their hobby, I tried to persuade them to give it up, but it was too late…

He… proclaimed himself a genius and even invented a machine for development of anahatas…

And she… talked about wonderful states of easiness, divine joy and about flights with angels to other planets that she experiences after each good dose, recited the charter of the Communist Union of Youth and the Program of the Communist Party…

She got registered in the mental hospital not due to the latter, but after the following case. In the state of psychic disorientation, she went to the forest, walked there the whole night, lost her clothes, and in the morning came to the town naked and plunged under a bus…

Yet another illustrative example. We gave a psychological seminar. Several hundred people came, and among them there was one insane woman physician from other town. She heard the voice, which told her, in particular, to stay after the seminar and promised that Antonov will accept her as a student if she shows enough persistence.

And for about 40 days she fasted and slept on the grass in a garden pleading the grace of Antonov who did not know about it at all…

Her husband came to seek her. For several weeks he walked in the city hoping to meet her, informed the police, and they began searches…

At last, she beaten with blue-black face came to a barbershop. They informed me, I informed the police, and they sent her to mental hospital…

Since that time, I took an oath never to arrange such seminars…

But it was not all to this. One year later her colleague and student, also a doctor, came to me. She could not remember even simplest information… Even attempts to write it down were of no success: she forgot everything immediately! Yet she told me about a plead from that first woman to display merci and allow her to come to take our courses… My refusal bewildered her: that woman is the leader of their spiritual “School”; she is a highly respected person and did so much for the entire town, she initiated so strong spiritual movement…

I asked what their spiritual work is about?

“Why, urinotherapy of course!”

… The main preacher of Russian urinotherapy, who contributed by his many books a lot to spreading of this disaster in our country, also has been drinking urine for a long time. In particular, for cleansing the kidney, he recommends drinking urine either one’s own or… wild boar’s. Clever doctor Evgeny Schadilov [51] who has never drunk urine, asks about this; how can you make this wild animal in the forest to urinate in a jar that you brought from the town?…

* * *

… Now let’s talk about vampires and vampirism.

In ancient time, people, in their folk tales, called by vampires those “arising from the dead”, werewolves, etc, who allegedly attack ordinary people and suck their blood. Such vampires became heroes of many horror films.

Among “ordinary” people also there are some who like to drink blood coming out from a wound of the victim. I knew one personally.

But with spreading of knowledge about relationships between people, this term — with a different meaning — became very popular among schizophrenics and those disposed to schizophrenia. By this term they began to denote incarnate or non-incarnate people, animals, and even plans which, allegedly, hunt for other’s energy.

It is interesting that very often it were physicians specialized in psychiatry who became the preachers of mystical fear of vampires in those years in Russia. The subject of their passionate appeals to people was the means of defending oneself from vampires by creating around the body protective energetical shells, capsules, etc…

One such physician wrote an article where he claimed, in particular, that vampires are especially dangerous at night. It is at night that one has to exert most efforts for keeping integrity and resistance of these “protective constructions” of oneself…

Such physicians produced so many patients for their colleagues-psychiatrists!

Yet God suggests that we learn love, not fear, and keep in the focus of our attention Him, not our enemies!

Yet bioenergy vampires are not mythical, but real — they really exist. Anyone who wants strongly something from another becomes a vampire!

… There are people whose characteristic feature is the need to serve others, to share with others own property, to give oneself to others.

And there are people of opposite kind — people-parasites living in constant wanting from others — money, boons, care, attention, “emotional warm”, sex.

Their emotional wanting is really bothering and sometimes even destructive — for their victims. Why, bioenergy is driven into motion by our emotions!

People who radiate, gift their love to others have the possibility for intensive spiritual self-perfection.

People-parasites, who drain love and power from others, do not have it.

These traits are not inherent, but features of character; and whether they are good or vicious depends on the person himself/herself.

This is a paradoxical and important fact; it is people-parasites that are disposed to blaming others for vampirism; they always feel bad, because they waste their energetical power in their own negative emotions, but believe that someone “steals” it. And until they transform by their own efforts from parasites — to the giving, from the wanting love — to the giving it, they will not achieve relief!

And if someone indeed fell under the influence of a real bioenergy vampire, as it happened to me many times, then the following advice may be useful.

First of all, we have to remember that all difficulties, which fall on us, are created for our own good by our Highest Teacher — God. What for? In order that we become better!

The true victory in all earthly difficulties is not victory over one’s enemies, but victory over one’s lower self!

Thus, if we find ourselves in a difficult situation, it makes sense, first of all, to ask oneself, “Lord, for what purpose You did this? What kind of answer are You expecting from me?” And then seek the answer with his help.

* * *

Now — few words about schizophrenia in general. One has to distinguish its true form from the diseases with similar symptoms which in the materialistic psychiatry are also called schizophrenia.

The mechanism of the main form of schizophrenia is always possession (i.e. control of thinking and behavior of the sick person by a spirit or spirits who entered the body of that person). Such spirits can be people or animals according to the last incarnation. This is their work: everyone in the non-material world works by the qualities which they developed in themselves during the life on the Earth.

But the activity of all spirits — both good and evil — is controlled by God.

Symptoms similar to the main form of schizophrenia (mental confusion, non-adequate behavior, hallucinations, and so on) can be caused by other factors: such as intoxication of the brain by poisons, for example, those contained in urine (if the kidney’s work is deranged, or the ureter is damaged, or if one drinks urine; this is called uraemia, which may lead to decease) and also by tumors of the brain or by the consequences of its traumas.

In all such cases, this is the fate (karma) of the diseased person defined by his or her mistakes in the past lives. In the latter case, one gets not the illness itself, but a predisposition to it.

But the most clear and bright analysis of the cause-and-effect relations is possible in the case of the main form of this disease. God sends it if one insists too much in such vices as:

a) mystical fear;

b) anger of judgement or jealousy;

c) being too obscessed with sexual fantasies;

d) excessive fear about own material well-being and health of the body,

e) conceit (pride and vanity).

God warned us about this in the Holy books. Therefore, deeply religious people who possess strong intellect are not subject to schizophrenia.

On the contrary, atheists and those of weak faith sometimes get sick with it. And it is especially peculiar to those who fell under influence of perverted religious organizations or occult schools where the followers are introduced into mystical world without acquainting them with the rules of the conduct in it and without understanding of the essence of some its manifestations.

Dangerous schizophrenia-like inadequacy of thinking and behavior leading sometimes to a real schizophrenia can arise also in case of too strong for particular person intellectual overload. It happens, for example, when children are initiated into meditative techniques inadequate for their age or when their attention is focused on demons, aliens, astral travels, and so on.

Even not all adults can withstand such trials.

For example, I heard such a story. The mother of a girl who was made famous by journalists for her “travels” to other planets also decided to keep up with her daughter. Once standing on tram stop and she was emotionally “talking to herself”. A policeman approached her:

“I’m sorry, are you all right?”

“Stay away from me! Don’t interfere! Don’t you see? — I am talking to aliens!”

He apologized, went away, and called ambulance; they took her to mental hospital.

If such people are not isolated and are not calmed down with the help of drugs, they can become socially dangerous. It may happen when they receives orders from “voices” or when they believe that they are shown not enough respect for their “special cosmic role” or something like this.

For example, the mother of one of my acquaintances, when the daughter asked her to speak not so loudly when “talking” to aliens aloud, got angry, beat her, and threw her away to the street in winter without clothes…

Sometimes it can be even worse…

Of the utmost importance on the spiritual Path is the intellect of the seekers. It is the intellect that defines to which step of the spiritual stairway man can safely ascend in this particular moment of his personal evolution.

Spiritual leaders who esoteric techniques must understand this very well! In particular, it is inadmissible to teach just psycho-energetical techniques, even in the form of the best meditations! Supplementing the energetical work with the lectures will be not enough as well. One always has to try the intellectual abilities of each student. And at first symptoms of inadequacy of learning, students have to be given other — strengthening — techniques or the whole group has to be disbanded.

I observed many times in different towns situations when instructors for the sake of keeping their status of a spiritual leader or for the sake of their authority (wow! — he knows so much!) without differentiating student’s abilities, give to them the methods of inadequate complexity.

Yet, poor is that instructor who works of with people for the sake of himself not for their sake! In such a case he surely harms them!

* * *

There are three lines of spiritual development: intellectual, ethical, and psycho-energetical. They result in development of the three aspects of the Divine Perfection in man in a series of his incarnations: Wisdom, Love, and Power.

The psycho-energetical aspect in no case must go ahead of the other aspects! Let the best followers learn by heart the Holy books, as is customary in many religious confessions. This is much more useful and safer than involving them there where they risk go insane!

It is also unwise to grow in the students the psycho-energetical power which they can not adequately use themselves.

Let me give the following example. Let us see what happens in prospect with those who achieve much success in psycho-energetical work without paying enough attention to the other two lines of development. I knew personally five such persons, who in the past lives “pumped” huge crystallized consciousness. Lacking true wisdom and love, they again found themselves on the Earth. In the current incarnation all they in a certain moment gained “instant enlightenment” experiencing themselves not in the physical body but in a giant energetical one. But none of them has cognized the Creator… Moreover, they had no clear idea of where to seek Him…

Some of such people become false gurus, who think only about personal well-being. Such a guru collects around himself or herself a lot of followers and is interested only in personal fame and money…

Other such persons feeling own large strength and power over people turn into successful criminals…

Others yet, out of good intents, try to help people to become like them. But they do not remember the path of the previous life, nor do they have own methods, nor understand the true needs of other people with non-crystallized consciousnesses… And thus, such help turns out to be incompetent and ineffective…

Let us remember that having magical power without intellect and love is very dangerous situation on the steps of the spiritual stairway!

I want to address once more all instructors who teach esoteric techniques: you must take into account the psychogenetic age of the students! Man in an adult body can be younger by the age of the soul than other person in a child’s body! The criterion here, first of all, is the level of the intellect development.

The second important criterion in choosing students is the ethical one. One must not teach power to ethically defective people! I will illustrate later the consequences of such mistakes.

* * *

A moment ago I received a telephone call. A woman asked me:

“In a few hours, a comet is going to hit Jupiter. What meditations could you recommend for practicing before and after this catastrophe?”

“Nothing.”

“So, you believe that Jupiter does not influence us at all?”

“It doesn’t.”

“But you taught all us meditation!”

“But what Jupiter has to do with this? There is God!”

“Well, God… He is far…”

… By association I recall a TV-interview with a satanist — a killer of two Orthodox monks. He voluntarily decided to serve the devil, listened his voice and fulfilled his orders. When he was asked why he chose to serve the devil and not God he replied:

“God is far… And the devil is always near…”

For some people the devil is closer than God, for others — Jupiter. And all this is their truth…

But to me the closest one is God!

* * *

Now let us dwell on important question: how not to mix the voice of God with one’s own fantasies or with voices of demons, for instance?

People do a lot of mistakes in this matter.

One wicked doctor in Saint Petersburg began to teach methods of listening to the “voices” to a completely unprepared audience. Many indeed began to hear them. And some even started to speak with voices of demons: to croak inadvertently for example…

My former student who came to these classes was warned by the “voices” that it is dangerous for her to stay in the city, someone is “hunting” her, and that she has to escape to Riga.

She went to Riga.

But where to go in a foreign city? The “voices” told her the address and names of the owners of some flat. She went there; the owners’ names indeed were as she was told.

She asked to guard, to save her, insisted that she had to stay in their flat… to live here.

They were bewildered…

Naturally, this story ended up with mental hospital.

Of course one can laugh at this case and say that probably doctors treated her and now she lives as a common materialist…

Unfortunately this is not the case. It is not so easy to break free from the fetters of the inhabitants of hell with the help of drugs. One can only weaken for a time the outer manifestations of the illness and then the sick is sent home.

I met this woman many years later in winter on a market where I came with a rucksack to buy potatoes. Without a smile she approached me, but I did not recognize her. She told me:

“At last I met you! Give me a kiss at my cheek!”

And put her cheek out.

I kissed her in order not to offend: in case if this is my acquaintance, one of my former students. I had many of them and naturally cannot remember most of them by face. But also I got a thought that this is an alcoholic woman seeking a man for night; her face was so awful and she was so coarse energetically.

“How are you?” she asked me,

“I’m fine.”

“I don’t see that!… Why are you in a hat?! Why do you wear a rucksack?!”

“What?”

“Why do you wear a rucksack?! No one wears rucksacks now!”

At this moment I understood that she is an aggressive insane person.

“You,” I told her, “go! Go!”

And I slightly turned her and pushed to the exit. She submitted, but turned her head and shouted as if threatening:

“I will go! But it will turn out worse for you! So you do: with a rucksack!…”

And my body got filled with her low-frequency vibration, which is peculiar for agitated schizophrenics.

Only by entering the meditation of total reciprocity I managed to restore the calm inside the body.

It is only now that I recalled who was that woman: my former student who gladdened me and others with her harmony… The link established with owners of those “voices” had turned her during those years in coarse, dull, aggressive being similar to them…

And all it started with “classes” of that doctor…

… And so many people get caught up receiving the information from “voices” that they are reincarnated “Jesus Christ” or “Mary the Mother of God” and so on!

One of my acquaintances — a man of “breadth” — asked once my opinion about the idea of arranging a “conference” for all “Jesuses” and “Marys” known to him. He intended to invite every such person as if for individual appearance for giving a holy sermon to the needed… And see what will come out… Ha ha ha!

I objected that it will be cruel. They believe in it sincerely…

But there are more simple cases. One of my Orthodox acquaintances — a drunkard and thief — once “God’s angel” came and told him:

“Take a crowbar and destroy the guests of your wife!”

(The guests where decent people sitting at the table in the next room).

He took a crowbar and went “destroying”. As a result his skull was crushed by that very crow-bar. Of months spent in hospital, he suffered headaches for long time, sought healers… But he did not become a Christian.

Or I was told about the following case. “Jesus Christ” started to come to a young beginner mystic. “Jesus” complained that he feels so bad, so bad… He asked to give him some energy. Then again and again… And then told this mystic that now it is over and he is all right. And that he got as a reward the ability to fly! Just jump out of the window and fly!

The mystic jumped of a window and… fortunately below there was a lawn, not pavement…

… And to one of my acquaintances “Jesus Christ” dictated the “New Gospel”. The work continued for months; a lot of paper was used!

And then with large pomposity the “chosen” were collected who were allowed to became acquainted with excerpt from the “Holy Message”.

It was written in amazingly beautiful language; just the rhythm of this prose gave bliss.

But its meaning…

One of the chapters, for instance, was about the “karma of stones”. It said that the life of stones is also subject to the law of karma — the law of cause-and-effect relations in formation of the destiny…

Thus it means that stones form their destinies themselves? But the destiny is formed on the base of ethically important decisions that one takes…

Probably I was the only one of the entire group, who understood that all this is absurdity, a joke!…

Sometime later “Jesus” commanded to burn all this down.

This joke was intended by God as a “test on intellectuality” which only I managed to pass.

Sometime later through the same medium the “group of chosen” received “top-secret information” that the “Second Advent of Jesus” is starting and therefore…(!) the north part of Europe will submerge into the ocean at the specific date… The “chosen” were given a chance to save themselves.

For this purpose they were divided into groups which had to move to various south cities.

Those who believed sold everything they could and went away… Yet, the “Flood” did not happen. They had to come back…

… There are different mechanisms of receiving information from non-incarnate intelligence.

About “technical means” used for this purpose we said already; there is no point in repeating it. Let us discuss the possibility of the direct perception.

So, the most common means is to hear the voice or to perceive the thought against the background of inner mental quietness (hesychia).

There are also means of the laya kind (laya means dissolution, see [25]) when against the background of hesychia an mediator “gives up” to the spirit or to God his hand with a pen, which begins to write down, or his speech apparatus, which begins to speak. The mind of the mediator in the process of receiving of information does not play an active role: the mediator himself observes with interest what his hand writes or what his voice says. It is also interesting that in psychic writing the mediator writes not necessarily with his own handwriting; in the process of writing one foreign handwriting can be substituted with another — also foreign. By this means in past whole books were written (for example — E.Bakers Letters of the Living Dead [28]).

The same principle is used in the so-called meditative painting and meditative music playing.

There is a similar phenomenon — laya-dance — when one surrenders the body to God for dancing.

That psychic who wrote the “New Gospel” and organized the “Flood” used the means of giving up her speech apparatus. The quality of her ability of psychic perception and her honesty is not to be doubted. But what was the problem?

Of course, there are apparent liars who just wear the guise of a psychic (mediators in communication with spirits) or prophets (mediators in communication with God).

There are people who just want to become such mediators and probably sometimes they succeed in this to some extent… In both such cases one cannot expect trustworthy information.

Sometimes “failures” in contact happen in case of beginner mediators when it is just seems to them that they hear something…

But normally expert psychics and prophets receive information correctly.

It is another point — by whom this information was given?

And this depends, first of all, on the person who receives it.

If that person is alike to devil (as that one with a crowbar, for example), then only devil and demons will speak through such a mediator.

But if we go the true path, then as we master more and more subtle states of the consciousness and learn to enter into more and more subtle spatial dimensions, the circle of our interlocutors will also change to better.

I should note that God, when necessary, can give information through any psychic. It is another point that for the receivers of this information it will be difficult to discern it.

When the spiritual warrior enters with confidence Nirvana, then with the same confidence he prophesizes.

It is important to know that God likes sometimes to joke or to teach His student by giving him or her wrong information. In the Quran it is sad about this: “Allah is the best of schemers” (3:47) [20].

He taught me about this feature of Him long time ago, before I had read the Quran. It happened in the following way.

Once He told me to go to the forest for four-days “seclusion”. It was beginning of May; in night the temperature was below zero. The condition of this seclusion was to spend the nights in the forest without a tent or a sleeping-bag.

I spent the whole day meditating, stored for the night enough amount of firewood, built a fire, arranged a “wall” of a piece of canvas, and lay on dry brunches between the “wall” and the fire.

I slept, but from time to time it was necessary to wake up: sometimes a piece of burning coal came off the log — and my jacket began to smolder, sometimes I had to move or add firewood.

On the next day, I felt myself broken, sleepy. Meditations were not successful.

At the second night it was the same.

The third day after bad sleep I spent even worse.

And the third night was coming.

The third day I spent in bewilderment: what use of such “seclusion” if I lose my meditative ability?! This is just waste of time!

Yet God demanded to keep to the plan.

By the evening I developed neurotic state! It seemed to me that I lost the ability to hear His voice!

At the end I took the decision:

“It’s enough! This is absurdity! I go home! I will sleep enough and tomorrow will be able to meditate again!”

At that very instant I heard very clear and tender voice:

“It is this decision that I was waiting from you! It is for the sake of this decision that I arranged this “seclusion”! Remember the rule: “Rely on God, but do not blunder!”

… Many times I observed situations when young beginner mystics who had not developed the intellect yet tried to switch it off by relying completely on the Intellect of God. What is the mistake here? It is that their intellects stop developing. But the Creator does not need such “feats” at all: He does not let in people who have not developed in themselves the aspect of Wisdom, He does not need them in Himself!

And in order to teach them He begins to play a joke on them — first softly, then, if they “don’t get it” more and more harder.

Let me give the following example.

A young woman was mastering laya. On a lonely field he took off her clothes and “surrendering herself to God” went far along a path among fields, singing of skylarks, fragrance of flowers, under tender sun and blue sky. Paradisiacal harmony!

Then she went back.

Suddenly a group of villagers appeared on this path going toward her. She saw them, but submerged more deeply into laya. And God leaded her body forward!

The villagers saw: a naked woman firmly walks right toward them… She is insane! What if she is going to attack us?! We have to run!

They run over the field to the forest and walked far around the “insane”…

This case convinced her even more that “ with God one has nothing to fear!”.

Then once in the city, standing in line in a shop, she began to whirl softly and fell down…

Or once her colleagues came to work and found her sitting under table…

And no one reproached her, they pretended that nothing strange happens…

They behaved like this out of pity for her, fearing to harm her with embarrassing word or gesture; they hoped she will recover some day…

But she… interpreted their tactfulness in a wrong way and became more convinced that she is on the right “path”…

Then one day God made her to look at this situation “from the outside”: she understood and… suddenly recovered.

How one can distinguish a true prophet from a false prophet?

The first criterion is the quality of energetics of the person. Man with non-refined consciousness cannot be a prophet. (Say nothing of a drunkard crossing himself and uttering something).

The second criterion is the intellectual level. God would not say wise things through a fool person: the fool cannot use correctly the information received.

For example, people with sectarian thinking cannot be counted wise.

Differences between people who started the Path in different religious systems disappear when they achieve significant spiritual heights. And they understand each other very well.

The lower people are on this stairway the more significance they attach to unessential differences and there are more enmity, condemnation, hatred in them.

The third criterion for differentiating a true prophet from a false one is the quality of information they pass.

In common language, people often confuse the concepts prophet and foreteller. In reality prophets and foretellers are in opposite to each other.

In Bible and in Islamic Sunna there is reproaching of those who listen to foretellers. Why? … Because the interest to foretelling is vain, useless interest of non-spiritual people. Truly spiritual people do not look to the future, but work in the present: they perfect their knowledge, bodies, energy, help others, meditate…

They who fill their sermons with foretelling are not prophets. They can be either ignorant, or liars, or schizophrenics.

A prophet preaches about that which was taught by the Highest Teacher through all Messiahs and prophets of all times and nations. Briefly and clearly these principles were formulated by Avatar Babaji: Truth — Simplicity — Love — Karma yoga (Service) — Abandonment of the lower self for the sake of merging with the Higher Self of the Creator [20].

Prophets also impart to people concrete and personal recommendations on spiritual development and service.

God warned us then:

“Keep it in mind, all who pass information from Me! None of you should insist on the acceptance of what was said through you!

Everyone has their own free will and their own intellect. Everyone is free to use the received information according to their abilities and aptitudes.

No one must impose to other people their interpretation of the God’s opinion. For what one person accepts as a law, another may take as a mockery.”

The main principle of healing — both bodies and souls — do not harm!

Every man can make mistakes due to young age, out of lack of knowledge; Babaji said about this the following: “There is no saint without past; there is no singer without future”.

But if one violates the principle “do not harm!” out of selfish motives, then this is a crime!

Once I had misunderstanding with one of the instructors, and this agitated slightly my emotional sphere.

Suddenly I heard the voice of my father who departed from the body long time ago. He was exasperated by the lack of intensive emotional reactions from my side.

I objected:

“This is a trifle, dad! Better cling to God!”

He replied sadly-perplexedly:

“But where is He, your God?”

I entered completely into his spatial dimension and said:

“Look! Let’s do it together!”

And I submerged before his eyes into the depth of the multidimensional Ocean. I repeated it again and again inviting him with me. But every time he… just lost sight of me and looked around in confusion…

Thus I became convinced in practice about that which I read and supposed before: spirits cannot enter the spatial dimensions which they had not mastered in their past lives. They spend time between incarnations in that dimension to the energetical level of which (on the subtlety-coarseness scale) they accustomed themselves.

And no prayers or other kinds of help can change this situation!

Moreover, God remains unsolved mystery for those who have not cognized Him during the time of incarnation.

An Orthodox old woman fell seek and “went to church” to light out a candle for Nicholas the Wonder-worker.

“Why not for Jesus?”

“But Jesus died!...”

“Haven’t you heard that He then ‘rose from the dead’?”

“Really? But how should I light out a candle for Him then — ‘for peace of the soul’ or ‘for well-being in life’?”…
