Happiness

Step 1: Self-mastery. Its essence is that everything that brings a person suffering, at this stage he learns to turn off (negative emotions, bad desires, unnecessary tension, clamping) everything that complexes a person, knocks him out of the state, brings suffering and pain. Ideally, to the point of invulnerability.

It does not matter what happens to you, even if you are told hurtful words (this is a completely different topic — how to respond). It is necessary for a person to keep peace, self-control, to subdue his inner problems. This creates opportunities for all the good things inside to grow. If a person has done something good, for example, planted a tree, and does not know how to keep it — it is trampled. Until a person learns self-control, it is very hard for him to nurture the light, pleasant things inside him. Step 1 is self-control, problems are turned off.

Step 2: Forming the basis, the strength to be able to go to any goal. Strength is needed so that by uncovering in yourself priceless treasures, they can be preserved. For example, money. If a person is weak and he gets a lot of money, he is hunted, but he is weak and loses it, jeopardizing his life among other things. Before one can get maximum opportunities (happiness, pleasure), one must gain strength. First of all, to turn off problems — self-control, then to get the initial strength, to gather oneself in pieces — to become whole, strong (whether it is a Warrior of Light, or another state, universal enough, whole).

The next step is already a variety, a multitude of different highest states and roles in this life.

Self-mastery is the first step to gaining power over yourself, the ability to remove anything that doesn’t suit you by an effort of your will.

The point is this. You realize what you want, you put your will: “I am calm, relaxed. I am invulnerable,” or “Fear goes away. I burn fear,” etc. When a situation happens, a person doesn’t let their problems tell them what to do. Doesn’t allow them to feel impunity. A man does not wait for problems to enjoy a feast, fray his nerves, and go to rest. If he has self-control, he does not allow them to feel at ease within him.

One of the general rules: when a person is attentive to himself, he fixes the problem at an early stage, while it is small. Only the knees begin to tremble — stop, it is fear — remove it; only when resentment begins to wake up — it is resentment, remove it. Irritation, anger, everything that does not suit a person, he turns it off by efforts of will. The main thing in terms of self-management is to be able to stop oneself. You want to shout — keep silent, you want to be offended — hold back, you want to turn around and leave — stay where you are. Or vice versa: if you want to say everything you think — turn around and walk away. A person subdues his inner world when he changes something in himself, when he shows his will.

How does self-control manifest itself outwardly? A person does not fuss, he does not have goggle eyes, haste, irritation, anger, he is calm, relaxed. It is not necessary that immediately inside him there was a sea of joy and happiness (this is a separate topic), but at least he managed to turn off the dark part of his self.

What does a person get in the end? Who does not know how to stop in time, gets into a state of stress, destroys himself. Half of the causes of diseases on the physical level are fears and stress. A person destroys himself, loses a lot of energy.

You can track yourself: when you get into a situation in which you are very nervous, how long does it take you to start feeling good? Some people take five minutes, some people take two days, some people take two weeks. It all depends on who you fought with, what it was about, and what kind of character you have in general. Some people switch quickly, for others it is painful and long. Therefore, the first thing that self-control gives you is that you stop flying into stressful states, stop losing energy.

Second. When a person ceases to control his emotions, it means that emotions take over here and now. There is an expression: “Offended people should be feared”, they cannot be trusted. They have a grudge, and their only program is to punish the offender. The person ceases to be adequate. When a person is afraid, offended or angry, it is impossible to talk to him.

A person can only think with his head if he is calm. When a person is agitated, he thinks not with his head, but with that chakra, where this offense sits. As a rule, it is muladhara or svadhisthana — most of the problems are concentrated there. So the second thing that gives self-control is the ability to think with the head, not with what is below the belt. To think with your head, to find solutions, to act effectively.

The third thing that self-mastery provides is the opportunity for all the good within you to be able to persist and grow. This is either energy or some spiritual values. Suppose you start to build something good in your family, but you can’t go through conflicts painlessly, you are always breaking down into one or another bad emotion. Built — destroyed, built — destroyed. In order to be able to build further, a person must learn not to destroy. Silence is gold, and in this case, it directly relates to self-control. Every word spoken in a fever is usually a word that will be regretted.

The first step is self-control. The goal, ideally, is to get to the point where you are completely invulnerable. There is an expression: “In a soul free from passions and emotions, not even a tiger can find a place to sink its claws in. When a person is calm, he is invulnerable. The task is to achieve such invulnerability, when there is no longer a force in this world that can psychologically harm you. If a person is wrong, you need to punish, take revenge, you think with your head and stop being guided by emotions.

At the initial stages of development, a person is just learning — he has no goals yet, no volitional control, no calculation. But he has to move somehow. At the emotional level, the initial reactions are laid down, because he has to talk to his fellow man somehow. This state persists until a person takes control of his inner world into his own hands. For the majority of people this moment never comes at all, they remain weak and stupid. When a person becomes on the Path of Development, sooner or later he takes power over his emotions into his own hands.

Example. There is such a bas-relief “The Descent of the Ganges River to the Earth”. In fact, the stages of development are shown. In the beginning, at the very bottom, there are animals. Then a man without a head, so he doesn’t really think yet. He starts to think when he has goals, when he has an understanding of who I am and what I want in this life, until this is not there — it is enough for him to use two lower chakras (to move his hands, to chew, to sleep, to say something in response).

The head begins to be connected when a person starts to calculate his steps: “I have a goal, and what I am doing is leading me to the goal or not”. The next person is the head under the arm — he is already starting to think. Next the head appears on the shoulders — the man is thinking, cognizing himself. Then he enters the Subtle World, where he is met by various beings — a spiritual man, cognition of the laws of this world.

Chapter 5. Elimination of Suffering

The right question is half the answer. Everyone has tension in their subconscious mind, anything at all. When you can articulate what you feel, it means that you have half solved the problem. And if it accumulates there, if a person is not in the habit of looking inside himself and asking why I am worried, what I lack — problems accumulate. A person does not ask himself these questions, and sooner or later he is carried away in an unknown direction.

Happiness is one of the most valuable prizes a person can get in life. And valuable prizes do not lie on the road, only mud sticks to itself. The more valuable the prize, the more a person has to try.

Some people are intimidated by problems: “There are enough of them already, we don’t need to dig any deeper. Most people have problems in many aspects of life, and in order to have a happy future, their attitude to the problem must change radically. How do people react to problems in the initial stages? “Crikey, nightmare, disaster!”

One of the next steps is: “Yes, problems are part of life, they need to be dealt with as soon as they get in my way.” This is the attitude towards problems that is needed. The person becomes a hunter, “Where’s another problem I haven’t fished out? Where’s another problem I haven’t learned how to solve?”

In the end, it is necessary to form such an attitude to the problem, when a person has a fighting passion. Like, for example, a special forces fighter chasing bandits — a person enjoys doing something where he can show his strength, feel the shoulder of a friend. And not for fun, but in the most serious way. The most desirable option when a person feels himself a wizard. The wizard sees — there is such and such a problem, he touches the magic wand, and the problem turns into candy. To turn fear into fearlessness — isn’t that magic? Magic. Or, if a person who felt himself through life a slave, humiliated and insulted — felt inner dignity. Isn’t that magic? Magic. And the task is to form such an attitude. You have to learn to rejoice in problems.

So, problems are not scary, they are part of life. Because we address them, they won’t get any bigger. But when you start working with them professionally, they become smaller and smaller every day. There are some problems that are mature, you may have to weed them out for several months, and there are some that snap right off. It depends on your skill.

Happiness is a great prize. To get it, you have to master all the arts, all the techniques. One of the directions is the inner sources of joy.

The principle is as follows: if a person is organized correctly inside, he feels comfortable enough in any situation (for example, even a slave in ancient Rome bore all sufferings with dignity). And if a person is organized incorrectly, then even though he has everything in this life (work, family, friends, opportunity to go somewhere to rest), but he suffers deeply, because he has lost the meaning of life, lost the opportunity to rejoice in the manifestations of this life.

The next direction is that there should be no cause for suffering. What is the ratio? Why is it always easier to learn than to retrain? A person’s consciousness is pure. He is told something, and he accepts it, he is happy, he does it, he succeeds — good.

If this place is occupied (let’s imagine that human consciousness is chakras, and each chakra has cells), where can specific information go? This or that question comes in, and the place is occupied, there is already a problem there. It will not work just to shed light, first you have to neutralize the mine, neutralize the problem, only then something good can sprout on this place. That is, one is the formation of merits, the other is the purification of one’s own consciousness.

The total sources of suffering are two main directions (internal and external). What is the difference between them? First we are interested in the person inside — whether or not he or she is twitching (what he or she will say and do, we will consider this further). Internal sources do not depend on specific situations, you are alone with yourself, and yet you can feel great or very bad. What does your state of mind depend on? Nothing happens, but you feel very good or very bad.

Internal sources determine your dominant state — good or bad. This is also the answer to the question: “What do you live for?” If there is no purpose in life — it is very bad, if there is — a person is delighted with life, the Way of Development, cognition of oneself, God. He is interested in life, not a single minute is wasted. For example, the inner screen is working, we close our eyes in the subway: we watch cartoons, ask questions, get answers. A person always finds something to do. Internal sources do not depend on the situation, they determine the dominant state.

External sources depend on the situation, what is happening here and now. A hurtful word is said — you are hurt, an umbrella is lost — a nightmare. “God must have punished me” or something else, different thoughts arise. It depends on the situation and how quickly the state shifts to the other side. In the end, what happens to a person and how he feels is the result of what he believes.

A person believes in something, gives himself answers to what to live for, how to behave, then he acts on the basis of it and gets the corresponding fruits. The root cause is what a person believes in — his knowledge and beliefs. And the solution of life tasks, elimination of problems is the Way of Development.

On the one hand, development is the formation of virtues, i.e. a person learns to find a way out in this or that situation, to make decisions (to look with a sad look with a twisted face or better when there is light on the face and a light smile), to make a choice. When a person has learned one, second, third thing, he prevents his future problems, and he does it correctly.

On the other hand, development is a cleansing when there are already accumulated problems. Problems typically accumulate over many lifetimes, and development takes time. The illusion that one sacred mantra will save you will remain an illusion. However, over a period of years, it is entirely possible to eliminate many problems and achieve a state of peace, joy, and happiness.

According to internal sources: one is what arises here and now (this or that negativity, thoughts, desires, emotions, any reactions), the second is the consequences of the past, karmic influences. Something was long ago forgotten, but Karma left its trace, and therefore the unclosed issue is constantly present, reminds of itself, presses and hurts.

On negativity: there is pure negativity — desire for evil, anger, hatred; and not pure negativity — stupidity, inadequacy, wanted the best, but it turned out as always (“the road to hell is paved with good intentions”). The most different variants. It is necessary to understand what negative components are present in a particular case and how they affect a person.

First of all, these are thoughts, desires and emotions. Dark thoughts come to mind: “I have no reason to live”, “I will not succeed”, “I am not worthy”. Bad thoughts? Bad. What do these thoughts do? They provoke negative emotions — guilt, worry, suffering. If negative emotions are born, the logical extension is to switch the whole state in that direction (dark and suffering). Then comes longing. It has come, we have longed together. Sadness and longing visited and left, and you grabbed on to it, suffered, gave your energy.

The method of eliminating thoughts that lead to suffering is to think the opposite. Realized that you do not love yourself, a goal should be set — “I want to learn to love myself.” “Where on my bookshelf is a tome about loving yourself, your Soul?” Take it, read it, calm down. Instead of suffering — to think about the opposite.

One way to deal with problems is to form a habit: when you detect a dark thought, start thinking the opposite. In this way, you form a positive state of mind. By maintaining dark thoughts, you get bogged down.

They can trigger other negative thoughts, themselves triggered by the emotions and desires that are roaming around inside you.

When a person learns to guide himself, to keep the state of peace, he turns off dark sources, and it is very difficult for dark thoughts to be born in this state, in the stream of Light. As long as the state is gray — dark thoughts shoot out, it is impossible to escape from them. When the state is light, powerful, dark thoughts need an armor-piercing shell to knock a person out of this state.

Wishes. There are different kinds of desires — good and terrible. Bad desires can drive a person up to the state of madness, and one should be able to say goodbye to such desires. They are also based on what a person believes in. To eliminate them, you need to learn to pull out of your subconscious programs: “Why do I want this?” And to change these programs.

Negative emotions are destructive in any case. Anger and hatred are bound to manifest themselves on the physical level towards another person, and for the person himself it is suffering, pain, destruction. Any negative emotions are destructive.

Positive emotions are wealth. The more there is that a person appreciates and is able to respond in a variety of ways to the manifestations in this life, the richer he is, the more positive emotions he has.

On a keyboard, can you see only two keys, black and white (good and bad), or are there very many keys? The more keys, the more sounds a person’s Soul makes.

Karmic influences are punishments. Once long ago a person did something, and until now this thread is still running. It is important to understand why.

Punishments have different reasons, half of them are for what a person has done, the other half is connected with what happens inside a person (his wrong decisions, prejudices, emotions, even not manifested outwardly). Half of all trouble has to do with what a person believes, the other half has to do with what a person directs at the outside world (his words, actions).

Of course, if a person destroyed churches — he needs to build them in the next life or at least do something adequate. Otherwise, there will be no happiness. These strings are pulled after a person in many different ways. Their positive orientation is very simple. If we assume that a person commits a crime and gets nothing for it, it is a wrong world.

What role do karmic punishments play? They spoil something for a person. They give feelings of pain, anxiety, dissatisfaction, etc., remind him — look, you have something to work on. And when a person pays attention to it and starts to work on it, he gets a prize.

The meaning of karmic punishments is that when a person goes through them, he begins to take seriously the Spiritual Laws and his Soul, he begins to feel these troubles and, solving the problem, he gets a prize. Punishments can be very diverse: from deprivation of abilities, feelings, feeling of pain, discomfort, up to the curse of the family (at the proper level of skill such an impact is removed in a few hours). A person can be saved by understanding how and what is happening.

Is there any good in suffering? Christianity has a special attitude toward suffering. What is its meaning? One of the reasons is that if a person has gone through something, knows the suffering and pain, then he will understand what others experience when he commits similar actions towards them. Therefore, suffering, as a person’s experience, allows him to understand other people and not to commit evil towards them.
