What Life wants from us?
Publication
This paper combines information from various interviews given by the instructors of health-improving methods, students at the School of Spiritual Development "Path through the Awakening" (Riga).
Why people get sick?
Why trouble?
Why something is wrong in this life?
Do you know what Life wants from you?
There was an article in a newspaper about a Tibetan spiritual teacher . He was asked : „Do not you find it unfair that for the sins of past lives, which I do not know , I am suffering today in this life?” And the teacher replied: „And you, young man, you can cancel it?” – “No.” – “But you have a good chance to make your next life normal, if this you will start to behave normally”.
There could be added: „Yes, and to make this life happy in your power too. After all, if the „child” is fully realized his mistake and correct then everything is fine. Then for old transgressions smart „parents” will not punish him. In terms of sound logic, it is reasonable. But we need to talk further! After all, a happy, normal life - it is far from the peak of human capabilities and the ultimate goal of his life, it just has to be the norm. Norm - be happy! First.
99% of the problems arise because of the wrong attitude towards Life. Sorry, but the fact that man is much better educated and older, if experienced and is experiencing grief, hardship and suffering. This experience we have to spare. For a person in happiness, most often, at this time, in fact, does nothing. He is in idleness, with a sort of loves, or rather, simply burns during his own life, and, in fact, stopped in his development.
Try in this case to look at yourself from a position of Life - as a very intelligent, wise, loving and demanding teacher. So would you in her place indefinitely with yourself, spending time idly, to rush and fuss? Hardly. Moreover, if, for example, in front of you at the place of life is to prepare this "baby" to the 1 st September to the school? Time left - nothing at all, but you must hurry. So how do you behave with him? Uchi-tyuti, gingerbread lure? Well, the first time, perhaps. But he ignores you - he, you see, there in the sandbox, and without you, concerns fully. And you, at whatever cost, must find time. So you will have to include "a mechanism crowded" or in other words - "whip". Discipline, establish the regime. Punishment may enter, but gradually and only out of necessity. But, it's all for a big love to him. You want for him just as good and better. You do not want to humiliate him and destroy, or why else would give him life, and to ensure that he draws his attention to you, consider with you. It's all just to help him prepare for school, become an adult.
This example with the baby can develop even deeper. Imagine this situation: you have to raise a child, send him their knowledge, experience, wisdom. But, for some reason, you see him and hear him and he - no. He, of course, realizes that you're somewhere nearby, and therefore, periodically staring up and asks you to give him this or that, or something third. Well, and what are your actions? Hike and execute all his whims? You, as an adult, know perfectly well what he need, and what not. You see him "without X-rays" and know him better than he knows himself. So, you give only what is really necessary for him!
Of course, you will ensure that the child was not deprived of food and clothing, but the process of maturation is the principal in relation to everything else.
As a direct, immediate communication you do not have, you will influence his development by various circumstances. You'll give him interesting games and toys, which are important to him as he MATURES in the game, honing different facets of his consciousness.
As your child grows, you will complicate the game. If you see that the game no longer meets the required development, you will remove it very slowly. No, you do not take it immediately, otherwise he will curse you, you make a toy uninteresting or even painful. So that the child will throw it himself. Or intervene in these same kids - let them at each other "wheeled barrel”, not you.
For the time you do so, but not forever - there are some reasonable time. The school is run in seven years, not seventy-seven. So, all your actions will somehow be directed to the following: you will seek to create circumstances so that they are increasingly forced to go tot to communicate with you! But we have already said that he does not see you. So he must understand that he must learn to to be able to SEE, HEAR and UNDERSTAND! Only then you can actually send him something serious and something to teach.
Dear reader, in which case it would be higher quality and the good of our service: through correspondence, from fifth to tenth, or in person, unlimited in time, and not one? In my opinion, everything is clear ...
That's exactly the same and life tends to make people all the time developing. And only when great need - through tough challenges. Well, if no another way. Alternating them for a respite, with some fragments of "happiness". Oh, like the breathing became easier, a little happier. You look again, "played" - then again, "the mechanism of the whip”. In other words, sticks and carrots are always present.
Life affects us different circumstances, as an intelligent, loving parent who always ensures that the child develops and improves. After maturing and improving - is important, for which we were born. Life is so arranged that all its actions are aimed at our optimal movement upwards. If a man is more convenient to do so paralyzed, without arms or legs, loss of vision, so it's more convenient! Here we must be able to be thankful for this to life, despite the fact that its interests do not coincide with ours.
We, as kids, keep trying to illusory notions of happiness, wealth, career, family well-being ... all the time "we swing right”, demanding something from life. And it requires that we understand that here - in this world, we have come to learn, come as guests, and to behave accordingly. Understand and fulfill our task and go on.
Any athlete with gratitude, takes over the experience and skill of the coach, even if the load increases, tightening exercise routine. He understands, for what it's all done - for the rapid achievement of results! To become stronger and able! That's life, doing everything in order to bring people to a higher level of development. And we must learn to accept it with gratitude, not embittered and not cursing her.
We must understand that very often all these educational impacts - internally. Well, if differently do not understand ... That is, do not see, not hear, do not feel Life. Do not take it into account, forget about it, ignore it. So It reminds us.
All this time, which a man lives, he learns to communicate with life. He sets his internal experience, through interaction with people, in getting into different situations, through a collision with all sorts of circumstances. Because man does not understand what is happening or does not want to understand life, to attract attention to himself, and shakes him like “a pear”. Often stronger and stronger and, ultimately, almost continuously. Life wants him to be turned to its face and begin to realize that it tells him what to teach. But it's not as easy as it may seem.
You, with someone talking to hear each other, must be very careful. If suddenly distracted or think about something else, you can just skip some of his sentence. Also, you should be friendly to him. Otherwise you do not actually want to listen to him and you just do not get through. In the "conversation" or "communicating" with life – that is still many times more serious, more delicate and responsible.
Already at the very initial phase of communication with life in the process not only listening joins, but all the senses (sight, touch, etc.), and at the maximum depth. After all, as in any case, I must fully enter into the process. I need to prepare to this not only all the senses, but also the whole body: mind, psyche, emotional activity, nervous system, body. And this - some spiritual work.
When you are careful, you - quiet. Without deep inner remission you can not be attentive to Life.
In order to prepare us for the initial phase of perception, our life is filled with various "simulators": telephone, TV, computer, radio and so on. All of these trainers teach us to listen to "life," look "at it, not distracting . And beyond this level should be deeper - to "hear" it and "see". Feel the difference: "listen" or "hear", "watch" or "see"? It depends on the seriousness of the situation and circumstances that make people "see" and "hear". That is, to understand what we saw and heard.
After all, what does the life want from man in the first place? The one - a friendly dialogue with it. To during this dialogue it could teach him a lot, something to help. It by any means, up to the great sorrow - makes the person "shut up" and begin "listening". And it will make it. That is, it still makes the person to develop, only ways may not be very pleasant. And we want to show the alternative, as someone educates and grows up without sorrow, without breaking his nose, not always bumping, and be able to be happy.
For Life is important that people develop a dialogue with it. Here's an example: I was given a puzzle in the school, and explained how to solve it, I for some reason did not hear, or did not get it properly. What to do? Solve a must! You can, of course, to write off at someone, but such "knowledge" is easy to check on the first control. That is - not an option.
Another thing - if I understand well the teacher and his explanations. Then I will cope with the task much faster and easier. After that, I still have a couple of similar examples to make sure that I understood correctly. And, if I manage this level, then - more - something more interesting. That's how I grow, I come from class to class, become stronger.
So, in order to make it easier to solve problems that are posed in front of me, I need to learn to UNDERTSAND those who ask them.
We would like to return to the question of how to learn to "communicate" with Life.
If the person has adequately prepared the body, it becomes possible to go to the contact and communication with the parent element of man's reason - so that the society is called God. This is not one particular person, it is - an evolutionary structure (hierarchy) of a certain level of development of Mind, is an absolute for a man and above. Communication - is not just any voice, any thoughts flashed ... Or at the level of sensations - may be or may seem. No, it's very specific. And communication in so bright and clear form that is more concrete than we each other see and hear. For now take it on trust.
If a person is READY and trained, he can be in those worlds where THEY live, to meet with THEM. And not once, and when he wants, or will need it. Get the answer to any question. If you need help, he can get it.
Through studies of spiritual practice, we have the opportunity to prepare a man, his body to such communication. This is due to the fact that in our Center about twenty people are working in this direction - creating a "bridge" to the following links in mind.
Our world, "our sandbox" where we're developing, is well controlled and managed by THEM. Perhaps for many people that’s hurt to hear, but the truth. THEY provide comprehensive assistance to our upbringing and development. And each of us has his own personal feasible task, as well it is controlled by THEM. And, through our lives, we are taught to cope with it.
Appointment of a "bridge" or "tunnel" to THEM - is the conscious acquisition of knowledge and assistance from THEM, to our own hands to build our happiness now! That is, enter into harmony with life. And the more I am in harmony, the more I am happy. But this is only the initial phase of dialogue with Life.
Often the conversation there is put in this way:
- Do you like the way we live?
- Very!
- You want to do the same?
- Of course!
- Who's stopping you build it at yours? We'll help you ...
How happen these contacts and communication, you can read in the book of Ilona Spasskaya-Korshunova "Over the edge of Silence."
After all, happiness, if it depends on some kind of fortune, luck, of chance - a very short-lived and superficial. Today there is a big house, and tomorrow it burned. Earned a lot of money today, and tomorrow bankrupt. Today there health, and tomorrow fell down the stairs and - disabled. That is, all is not very durable and is not guaranteed. Life can make adjustments and change everything at 180 degrees for a few seconds, unless, of course, it is necessary. And it strongly depends on us, on the quality of our dialogue with life.
Happiness is not a single internal state. Full and guaranteed happiness is impossible without an understanding of why and where life wants to bring us, for which it is given to us. After all, if I deliberately do not go towards development of this understanding, then life starts to push me and, at times, very painful. And happiness is no longer a call. This is, in principle, saying all the leading authorities - the Buddhas, Krishnas, Christ ...
One of the main tasks of spiritual practice - to help people in this life quickly be trained in this world - in this "kindergarten". (It really is very similar to kindergarten with its games.) And get this training, so to speak, externally. Not spending a lot of time and effort wasted. Indeed, in those worlds visited by the same Ilona and several other people whose experience was written in the book, but those are our future - the evolutional future of humanity, in those worlds there are no wars, fear. There is no disease, old age and suffering.
In order to really feel what we say, to experience, feel, need to prepare our body. The body, the nervous system, psyche, mind. Because for an untrained person it is difficult to show. The difficulty is not that he does not understand or feel the state in which to live – this is just all right, but that he even at the initial stage after the state of euphoria and bliss goes to rapid and profound purification of the entire body. But for this, man is not ready. He will have to be insured for awhile. He may just have the jitters. Therefore, if to give this state to person, it is required some preparation of the body.
Sometimes a great pity that people just can not imagine what kind of state where they can live, work, love ... whatever they want. Our same Saints, in which we believe they are all the same as normal people are. For the sake of something they were a way of life! They knew perfectly well what they were doing. It's also a very great inner state ... Although it's only companion. And very sad that people just do not know this and they pass by, requiring some sort of low-cost evidence. The most important evidence will be the inner experience of the man himself, the great enrichment of his inner world. He is needed to be given it to feel, but this requires patience and work.
Must still touch differences of spiritual practices from various trainings. The task of training, even the most ideal, - to highlight the sort of one small facet of human life, and give it effect. For example, to develop memory, become more attractive, more confident or something like. Slightly shorter in time, a little longer - it is not so important. But something quite narrow. In these trainings, as a rule, the result of some faces is due to other facets. Man cosmically does not mature, does not learn to understand life, to build a dialogue with it, but he does not even think about it. Just a redistribution of internal reserves. It's All. It's like in kindergarten: we collect cubes, Lego, or something about this, without thinking about the meaning and purpose of all this. But the task of the kindergarten - Preparing for the school and not to teach the best folding cubes or puzzles. Need only be able to look a little wider and everything becomes clear and very logical.
Spiritual practice takes the main thing – prepare a man to the full perception of life. The whole. Whole. And not a single its facet. That's the only way and may cover all the facets! Man matures cosmically.
No, it does not mean that all of these trainings some bad. No, it's pretty cool, if they really help people. Why give up? But, unfortunately, the problem of life, they do not solve. To err from the whole we still can not. Is that right?
Even in society there is a certain rate of human development. First nursery, then a kindergarten, then school, and so on. And, as would be cool in the kindergarten was not, but sit there until 30 years you will not be. And everything in life as well - the same target speed of development, to cancel that person is unable to. That is, he is forced to learn and grow, and therefore the requirements applied to him becoming higher. If you can not cope - are banished from the system - is transferred to another, where the optimal conditions for its further development. As an example, fatal diseases: cancer, AIDS ... accidents ... i.e. Death and new life on new terms.
Surely you are familiar with this situation, when a man says: "I do not have time, I have a lot of responsibilities, a lot of trouble. Ask him a question: "So, you have no time to even get sick"?
- "What are you? I have a lot of work with me there, behold, the third to tenth.
- "Wait, you know, even die, probably, can not?"
- "What are you? I ... "- and then he realizes that he begins to talk nonsense.
No kidding, he may get sick and die. Stumble, fall - the mass of options.
What lack of examples? No kidding. That is to hide behind the pile of responsibilities is not necessary - it is not an option.
In the book "Over the edge of silence" there are several chapters on the experience of communion with a higher level of intelligence. There is a chapter where they even give specific advice about how to live, what to do. Recommend how to act in different situations. And, it's all directed at the fact that a person can not only make your life easier, to make it lighter, but that he understood that the main thing - it is the Way - the movement to them. This is the only way to live happy and interesting. No cursing everything and embittered, but interesting. When this routine is not that sucks man, that, in principle, and is the root of all depression.
If a person has no interest in life, it makes no sense and all the joy - of staring out the window, it is a dead end. Doctors say that 70% of our society are so inclined.
Why such detail about it? After all, if a person is entangled in his life, and sees no way out, then go for advice to the same as he, himself, is meaningless. This, as a first-grader from second-graders will learn. You understand, this is not serious. Therefore be wiser to ask for advice and assistance to those who have this stage of development has already passed. To those who know everything about him, who CREATES and DIRECTS this "game". See the difference?
But if these words are not worth of the practical work, it's all just empty words. What proof is needed? Those who saw everything with their own eyes, no evidence is needed.
The main thing is not the fact that among us there are several people who had been in the higher realms. The most important thing is that there is a teacher from whom we all learn. That can not only answer ANY question, but the important thing - to learn how to develop your inner world, how to understand life and what to do to deal with the problems in it. How to prepare your body to communicate with those who stand for life. And more, much more ... As the saying goes - "would be a willing student” ....
It is important to note that this knowledge is given reasonably. They are given in order to implement it in life, share it, send it to people.
Many believe that to engage in spiritual practice, it is difficult. Yes, indeed, the difficulties are. But, doing a favorite and interesting work, you will not notice the difficulties.
