Spiritual attractions I know that many people who start doing energy practices are waiting for extraordinary ecstatic states from going through such an experience. And — yes — some of them will manifest. But others — will not have extraordinary experiences on an emotional level. But there will be quite specific changes in real life. Now it is fashionable to do "spiritual practices". Especially when you need to go somewhere, because doing something alone is boring. Most of the "seekers" need a crowd to shine with their chosenness on the general background... And... I know that many people like to compare their stories of new experiences with the stories of other people. This is especially evident when, for example, a mentor after a meditation in a group, asks about who and what felt. That's where the lawlessness begins. A parade of neuroses! People measure themselves by the number of Angels who came down to communicate... And this is still modest... So... To shake up the feeling of self-importance. This, by the way, is not a manifestation of the power of imagination, but a manifestation of stereotypes of thinking. Like, since I'm here so cool and doing spiritual practices, then no less than Angels should descend to me with instructions. Right, the Angels have nothing better to do than to track human vanity and "guide on the path"... And on the background of the flourishing of madness, adequate citizens simply "uncomfortable" to say that they felt Nothing! And people start to make up all sorts of nonsense, to be "like everyone else — feeling the energies". This is a global deception: such experiments with the psyche only feed neuroses, so that the unhappy ones seem to themselves chosen. Enlightened by the Spirit Yes... Certainly... There are people who feel the energies, but they are very hard to be in a large group. They can be the quietest representatives of humanity and do not share their experiences with others. They are more silent, because — what they see and feel, usually does not coincide with the general emotional reactions. And they themselves seem to be really enlightened by the Spirit crazy. But they are sincere. And they have everything working effectively. And the Power pays attention to them. And miracles of transformation and extraordinary expansion of perception begin... When they make a jump "into the abyss" of knowledge and begin to perceive their "madness" as normal. ...And those who honestly say: "I feel nothing during the practices", I announce important news — this is great. Practices are very tricky ingredients of the Spirit. They often manifest in external changes: someone's salary was raised, a bonus was given, went on vacation, met with an old friend, opened a business, wrote a picture, learned to play the guitar, etc. A lot... A lot of real, not illusory. Therefore, doing practices, pay attention in the first place not to your emotional state, but track the quite specific facts from your new biography. American roller coaster of "enlightenment" Men are forced to be masculine. Women are forced to be feminine. Everyone is forced to be "enlightened". For this, hundreds of trainings are held. Pump up the energy of femininity... Pump up the energy of masculinity... What nonsense? How do you pump it up?.. Don't get excited and explain to me "how" in the comments. I know what happens at such seminars. In two words, it could be called: "Trust the flow". Well, you trusted... Well, you hung out. It was great. Then you came home and after a while everything went its own way. Quite dull... Yes? Yes. You need to urgently sign up for a new seminar. What if someone becomes more spiritual than you?.. Oh, how many times I've heard this!.. Energies... Pumping... Entering the light. Leaving the light. Rising to some level. Descending... And so on. Straight American roller coaster of "enlightenment". Girls and boys, everything you do at seminars and trainings, good and nice. Just don't give it such a global value. It's like going to the sea. A wonderful reboot for the brain. But you need to return to reality. And in reality, you need to ask yourself: "What did I actually do when I pumped up the energy?". What exactly, besides sensations and imagination, was present in this process? Maybe you really got to the Master and there was a specific work. Happy if it was so. But in most cases, you experience just pleasant emotions, which is facilitated by the atmosphere of the seminar, the surrounding people, close to you in goals and tasks, charismatic mentor, the opportunity to disconnect from the usual world, the satisfaction of the desire to talk enough about things that interest you. New... New... New... Dopamine. Dopamine. Dopamine. Equal — pleasure. Because... In fact... How the Impulse works In fact... Your energy doesn't care what you "pumped" it. If you had experienced a real energetic impact, you would have lain quietly, not shining, not talking, not moving and learning to breathe. And prayed that God would weaken his love for you. You would have prayed like never before... Quietly moaned from the intolerable inner fire. And interspersed your prayers with curses, even if you never swore before. In this case... Only in this case — the fiery energy of the Spirit really goes through you, clearing all the channels and not paying attention to what you are dissatisfied with. You do the practice... And this is the real result. And when the energies let you go, for some time you will feel bad and weak, because the physical body is not used to such large flows of energy. But then... You will see the real effect of rejuvenation of the physical body, and reconfiguration of neural networks. This is how the Impulse works. This is how real energy practices are done... And — believe me — this is exactly the "painful" option of radical transformation, which you need to strive for... And at least experience it once... Hello, Master After passing any kind of practices, at least explain to yourself what you did with the energy, if you still can not cope with irritation, depression, fears. Although... If you have long not experienced anxiety about the future, and you are also deeply not interested in your past, then congratulations: you are quite a conscious entity. And you do not experience "happiness of comprehension", i.e. you are not shaken by yourself from yourself and your coolness. You feel only goodness. That's enough... And calmly wait for the next exam of the Spirit. And realize that it will not be "easy". But — you know for sure that it will be unforgettable! In this case... Hello, Master.
