Affirmations at a certain level of the subconscious work like commands.

There, with each utterance of the code phrase, a new program corresponding to the meaning of the phrase is developed.

The meaning of the phrase, in turn, is far from always what it seems at first glance. After all, the subconscious has its own laws and its own features of perceiving what we call a “word.” The deeper into the subconscious, the less the ratio habitual in the physical world operates there. Therefore, if one is to take affirmations into their toolkit, it is better to take them from Masters, Teachers.

Those levels of the subconscious where there is an opportunity to form programs are located quite deep, and far from every mortal is capable of this. Therefore, many need help here. A trained guide who is himself capable of entering the depths of the subconscious can help with this.

If a person practices without help, the result will depend on their abilities, understanding of the matter, and persistence. Changing the route happens, like with a path in the forest, through regular steps through dense thickets, right up to the feeling of solid ground underfoot. In time, look you, asphalt might even be laid in that spot.

If thieves have broken into your house, it is better to give them what they came for without resistance. Voluntarily let these things go, and you can even do so with gratitude.

Why?

A thief comes to where they are drawn. And a thief is drawn to loot similar to them in vibrations, ready for extraction. Besides, the mechanism of Karma works in all events of physical reality. What looks like a surprise to a person is actually a consequence of past decisions and actions. So you can look at thieves as courteous couriers.

To top off the given-away items, you can add all your troubles, illnesses, and curses. Well, so that good people don’t have to make two trips.

When a person is absorbed by their problems, their Ray of Attention is narrowed and concentrated on them. Consciousness is captivated by the problems, and as if nothing else exists, or everything else is somewhere far, far away.

Therefore, in such situations, people are taught to distract themselves / abstract / pretend that the problem is not yours, that it doesn’t exist, and other similar things. The goal here is to free your Ray of Attention, to untie it from concentration on the problem. And to look around with a fresh perspective.

Like an ostrich sticking its head out of the sand: While its head is in the hole, there is only forward or backward, as if there is no choice. But having stuck it out, one can see that there are 360 degrees of ways out of the situation.

And sometimes the ostrich discovers that there is nothing to get out of — there is no situation at all. It just seemed so 😊

“As you name the ship, so shall it sail.”

And this works for people too. Whatever you call yourself…

Sometimes I look at a person and think: “Lord, what is all this for them?” And I realize that it’s not “what for?”, but “what to what end?”. So that the person becomes precisely who they call themselves. Who they consider themselves to be (excluding fools, charlatans, and the mentally ill).

So, upon closer examination, it turns out that the person walked towards this themselves. Purposefully, systematically, step by step in one direction. Whether they understood this or not does not matter.

And all those misfortunes that happen along the way are a part of it. Their inseparable components.

It’s like the joke from the public page 👉 «Mages Joke» :

“If you call yourself a supreme mage, take the hits to the face like a high-level one.”

Sometimes this seems unobvious, but if you look closely, it becomes clear: every person is living their best life!

Yes, exactly it.

Yes, this is it.

Here and now.

In a person’s life, the main figures are their parents.

Throughout life, we gather a whole collection of idols. Especially in childhood, we look with admiration at adults who are strong and courageous. If our mom and dad do not stand at the pinnacle of all idols, then a person is thus distancing themselves from who they truly are.

The only people who can show us most fully who we are, are our closest blood relatives. Mom and dad come first.

When people themselves become moms and dads, their children show them who they truly are.

Today the Teachers told me that I have matured.

I wondered what had happened to give reason for such words. My life right now is more monotonous and measured than ever, so it took time to find at least something standing out from the flow of events. And that turned out to be responsibility.

A person’s adulthood is mostly about responsibility and the readiness to take it upon oneself, carry it, and answer for the consequences. This is no news, of course. But in the case of a mage, the concepts of ordinary human responsibility are not enough. A mage’s responsibility is much broader. And the stronger the mage, the wider their field of responsibility.

For example, the head of a Clan bears responsibility for the affairs of the Clan. It would seem that all adults, responsible for themselves and their children, can cope. But in case of difficulties, who will they go to for advice? — to the head of the Clan. Directly or indirectly, through other relatives, they will hear the opinion of the head and, most likely, listen to it. The head’s words have their own weight, their own influence, and their own aspect of responsibility. To be more precise, one can say: “a mage shares responsibility with those who depend on them and wherever their influence reaches.”

A mage’s influence also extends through their aura. The stronger the mage, the larger their aura and the wider their influence on the surrounding reality. For example, a mage sits in an apartment in a high-rise building — a common thing, and yet all the neighbors receive the invisible influence of their aura. Perhaps not critically, but still…

What can we say about Masters, whose auras can cover blocks, districts, and cities…

The next tier is time. A mage’s responsibility, starting from a certain level, is no longer limited to spatial coordinates; it extends into temporal ones as well. What a mage did in past lives continues in this one. And excuses like “I didn’t do that” are not accepted: a past life is just as much a continuation of the mage as a past position, a past course, or a past year. They are all ours, even when it is obvious that I am already completely different, no longer the way I was when I did it. Mages “share the responsibility of their incarnations.”

These are not all the tiers of a mage’s responsibility, but for one post, this is enough. I will only add that adulthood lies not so much in bearing responsibility, but in voluntarily, consciously, and reasonably taking it upon oneself.

Care for others is an aspect of a healthy human psyche. Even a child, not yet possessing resources, spontaneously exhibits impulses of care.

It should be clarified here that care has many forms of expression. For someone, this will be expressed in saying a kind word, for someone in an embrace, for someone in financial support. Sometimes care can also be a push in a certain direction. In general, there are many options, and not all of them are obvious.

Speaking of health, I mean both directions: internal and external. Internal, from health, is when impulses to care for others spontaneously arise. External, towards health, is when impulses do not arise, but by consciously making care for others a part of life, one can improve their health.

Of course, in both cases, this must be done without harming oneself, otherwise it is a sign of internal problems and imbalance.

So what am I getting at… 😊

What is your spontaneous care for others?

To what extent do you feel enough of its expression within you?

When providing care, do you feel that quiet, calm sensation of healthy satisfaction?

Is there a need to adjust your expression of care for harmonization, for the sake of health? (qualitatively moderate or enhance, quantitatively decrease or increase)

We humans have a habit of saying: “I created this myself.”

Even those who openly admit that during the creative process they feel a certain higher power guiding them—even they put their own human name on the result.

Even the Periodic Table bears Mendeleev’s name, although he clearly stated that it came to him in a dream.

That’s just how we tend to oversimplify our speech 🤷‍♂️

Can you imagine Mendeleev bringing the table of chemical elements to a scientific council and saying:

Behold, people! God, in His mercy, has bestowed this table upon us! He, the Almighty, sent His Angel into my dream, who showed and explained its structure to me. (To be fair… I didn’t manage to remember all the cells… well, maybe I’ll remember and fill them in later…)

😁

A stalemate…

It’s like being stuck waist-deep in a swamp. On one hand, you want something better—without the dampness, the stench, or the cold creatures crawling under your shirt. But on the other hand, it feels… okay. You’ve grown used to it; you’ve endured it. The creatures might be slimy, but they are familiar now. And if you start moving too much, what if it gets worse? What if you sink even deeper? Why complain now—being waist-deep is better than being chest-deep like some people. Besides, complaining is for the weak, and I’m not like that. I’ll endure…

Complaining is, of course, useless. But such a stalemate (stagnation, suspension) contradicts the law of evolution, the law of Life. Sooner or later, Life will nudge you toward movement, toward an exit from stagnation—by sinking you chest-deep into that swamp. If even then no movement is triggered, it will sink you neck-deep. It will keep sinking you until you snap out of it—take matters into your own hands and start pulling yourself out.

The essence is that you get what you strive for: reach for Life—stay active and live; stand or lie still—and you’ll be covered in ash.

Every deeper plunge is not a punishment, but an attempt to wake a person from oblivion. Baron Munchausen serves as our example here—he didn’t just pull himself out by his own hair, but his horse as well.

Perhaps your Horse is also waiting for you to pull it out of the swamp? Or maybe it’s a Unicorn, or a Dragon 🐉

No man is an island.

You cannot harvest a field alone, nor build a house, nor raise children…

We are built in such a way that for a normal, fulfilling life, a human being needs another human being. In this lies both our weakness and our strength, our limitation and our greatest advantage.

Those who understand this strive for cooperation, interaction, and the building of long-term, mutually beneficial connections. For only together, only as one, are we capable of “moving mountains.”

Community is the very fulcrum Archimedes was searching for—the one capable of moving the Earth.

So, I was taking vocal lessons, and they told me: “Imagine there’s a piston in your body; when you inhale, it moves ’like this,’ and when you sing, it moves ’like that.’” I tried to visualize it, I breathed, and—lo and behold—I sounded better! What kind of magic is this!

Imagine that instead of a piston, there’s a chakra in your body, like a flower with petals…

I worked with the petals, and—lo and behold—I feel better!

Imagine your spirit animal is approaching you…

We met, we worked together, and—lo and behold—I became healthier and more active.

This list could go on forever, but the point remains the same: it doesn’t really matter how ‘real’ or ‘unreal’ the magic is. What matters is that it works!

Once you’ve felt your “piston” and trained that control to the point of being automatic—voila! You are on a different level of self-mastery and a different level of interacting with the World. The level of magic.

After all, it is our own responsibility to make magic real for ourselves.

I remember a person who, while studying astral practices, reached a certain stage and declared: “This is all nonsense.” And with that, he ended the “nonsense” in his life. Now he’ll never sing an opera—because without the conscious control of the piston, the result is rather weak.

Any action requires energy. And in any process we expend our energy — real, imaginary, astral, mental, etc. And therefore it is very important to observe the rituals of beginning and end of processes.

Beginning - we direct the flow of energy into the launched process. End - we give a signal to stop the release of energy into the process.

It happens that we started one task and were distracted, then other tasks came up, then there was some other reason to forget about what we started, and then we remembered — and postponed it for later. And the energy continues to be released. After all, no one gave a signal to complete.

You can imagine a samovar in which the tap was opened and forgotten to close. Only our “samovar” has a great many such taps — as many as we invent for ourselves.

And it’s not so important what result in the process we managed to achieve, whether we are satisfied with it or not. Everyone knows the rule: worked – rest. And to fully rest you need to close the “taps”. Worked - slammed the door - went to rest.

Until we are filled with love, we will bargain.

I give you this, and what do you give me? I do this for you, and what do you do for me? And if we are not satisfied with what we receive, we feel discontent. Disappointment. Because essentially we wanted to receive, not to give.

What changes when we are filled with love?

The main property of love is to give. When a person is in love, they give from their nature, not from benefit. Just as it is the nature of a lamp to give light, so a person in love radiates it. On the human level, the question immediately arises: what can I give you? What can I do for you?

When the gifts of love pour into a clean vessel, they cause a response — the awakening of love, which also strives to give. And in such resonance, there becomes even more love.

Pouring love into a vessel with holes is premature — it will immediately leak out. First, you need to patch the holes and clean the inner walls.

I call this — “purifying the Heart.”

In 2020, one of my Teachers on the subtle plane tried to teach me something. The lesson was memorable, and I wrote it down in my diary.

In 2021, I used the method I had learned — there was a suitable case. I did it automatically, it seemed to work successfully. And only now, after 4-5 years, it dawned on me and I understood what I was taught!

(I’m silent about the completeness of understanding, because God knows what else I didn’t understand in that lesson) 😄

… So the old man went to the blue sea; he began to call the golden fish. The fish swam up to him and asked: “What do you need, old man?” The old man answers her with a bow: “Have mercy, sovereign fish, my old woman scolded me, she gives the old man no peace: she needs a new trough; ours has completely split.” The golden fish answers: “Don’t worry, go with God. You will have happiness…”

The old man returned to his hut; look: on the threshold stands a new trough,

And the old woman has vanished without a trace.

The fish was far-sighted.

Can one infinity be greater or less than another infinity?

In fact, human consciousness is not able to fully grasp even one infinity. And what kind of comparison can there be if we don’t even understand what we are comparing…

But mathematically it is simple and obvious:

(∞) is less than (∞+1)
