The fate of a person depends on himself. Purpose and destiny of man

From the point of view of the Vedas, a person is one of the intermediate forms or stages of development of the Essence, which develops from the simplest forms of Consciousness of elementals of atoms and molecules, to a super-complex form, which can be conditionally called the Supreme, or the mind governing a separate Universe.

In this row, man occupies an intermediate position between animals and Ava Tarami. The term Ava Tara - Flying Star in Sanskrit means the next stage of human development. From the point of view of an ordinary person, Ava Tar is practically God who is able to instantly move to any point in space and time of the Universe, instantly form any body for himself, change the environment, and so on, that is, who can do what is simply incomprehensible for a person ...

In other words, Ava Tar is a full-fledged citizen of the Universe, who can exist in any part of it, in contrast to a person who can only exist on Earth. For those who know how the human body works, the possibility of its existence only on Earth is beyond doubt, and their fantasies about traveling to the stars in a human body in cans of the "starship" type cause only laughter. In the Vedas, Ava Tara is called a butterfly that can fly wherever it wants, unlike a human, a caterpillar that can only crawl on Earth.

In fact, the transformation of a person into Ava Tara is a huge work on oneself, based on the ability to control the energy of the Holy Spirit, or Primordial energy, in the terminology of the Vedas. The most famous case of the transformation of a person into Ava Tara is the resurrection of Christ, but few people know that Christ is only one of many Ava Thar who were born on Earth. Throughout the history of mankind, millions of Ava Tar, who completed the human stage of evolution, left the Earth and became citizens of the Universe. As a child, growing up, goes from kindergarten to school, so Ava Tara, forming on Earth, leaves for the Universe.

Thus, the true purpose of a person is the transition to the next stage of development , that is, into the state of Ava Tara (God), and not the construction of a technogenic consumer society on Earth, which is destroying all natural resources on Earth. This is possible only when the majority of souls incarnating on Earth reach a high stage of development, that is, they master the laws of functioning of a Supercomputer of the "Universe" type. But, since souls with different levels of development exist on Earth at the same time, including those with a very high one, the process of the formation of Ava Thar on our planet is never interrupted.

All religions have traditions and techniques of working with the Holy Spirit, the ultimate goal of which is the transition to the state of Ava Tara, but they are available only to people who have reached a certain stage of spiritual development. There is no discrimination and mystery in this, it is just that these are very complex techniques in and of themselves, and besides, there is “protection from the fool” in the Universe, that is, blocking access to knowledge for souls with a low level of spiritual development, for their own good. For example, you cannot give a combat grenade to a small child, he will certainly pull the ring to see what happens. The energy of the Spirit is what the Universe is made of, and therefore only an "adult" Essence that understands the consequences of its actions can get full access to it.

During the transition to the state of Ava Tara, which is accompanied by a flash of light, a person takes with him all his Bodies, including his physical Body. The famous imprint on the Turin shroud, in which the body of Christ was wrapped, is evidence of his transition to the state of Ava Tara. If a person, during his life, did not manage to pass into the state of Ava Tara, but was able to create from the energy of the Spirit a semblance of such a Body, then his physical Body after death does not decompose, but remains incorrupt. This phenomenon of the incorruptibility of the body is the criterion by which the church declares such a person as Holy. The imperishable bodies of hundreds of Saints lying in the dungeons of the Kiev-Pechora Lavra testify to the widespread practice of acquiring the Spirit in antiquity.

Spiritual development is a term that defines the ability to acquire the Spirit, that is, a person's ability to work with the energies of the Spirit and the level of his access to control these energies. The properties of the energies of the Spirit determine the laws of functioning of both human Bodies and a Supercomputer of the "Universe" type, in which there is a separate person. They are very simple, but most people try to either bypass or ignore these laws, each time receiving from their actions a very specific type of Supercomputer reaction, which forms the life experience of an individual. This life experience stripped of the particulars of life, it becomes soul experience , which she takes in her subsequent incarnations.

Let us consider the basic laws of functioning of a Supercomputer of the Universe type, which includes three levels of Being, which in the Vedas are called the Fiery World, the Astral World and the Physical World. The Fiery World can be called a processor of the Universe, in which various forms of life and models of reality are constantly created and disintegrated from the energy of the Spirit. The most successful forms from the Fiery World overgrow with outer shells and become forms of the Astral World. In turn, the forms of the Astral World, overgrown with outer shells of matter, become forms of the Physical World. Thus, the models of reality and forms of life of the Physical World are the final stage of the crystallization of Spirit, that is, in these forms the energies of the Spirit circulate along the most static trajectories.

In the films, we have so far considered only the automatic evolution of the Universe, by default assuming that after the creation of the Universe, the Creator, who is the Consciousness of Spirit, retired on his own business, forgetting about its existence. In fact, everything is exactly the opposite, since the Consciousness of the Spirit has been continuously functioning in the Universe from the moment of its creation. Since this Supercomputer has been operating for trillions of years at a speed far exceeding the speed of light, and operates with gigantic amounts of information that cannot be imagined, the results of this Supercomputer's activity go far beyond the limits of human imagination.

If, according to the most conservative estimates, ten to two hundred micro quanta are hidden in a unit of matter, then all the computing resources of modern human civilization will not be enough to strictly calculate, for example, the process of evaporation of a drop of water. Therefore, any of our models can only approximately describe the integral characteristics of any process, with a certain degree of probability, relative to time and space. And time and space itself, as we have already explained, is created by the movement of the energy of the Spirit, that is, only the Spirit knows the absolute coordinate system, relative to which it creates Reality, that is, the movement of the energies of the Spirit, which we understand as an objectively existing Universe.

In fact, only an insignificant part of the Reality of the Universe is accessible to human Consciousness, which a person perceives with the senses and the human range of Consciousness. As an analogy, the following example can be given. Thousands of TV channels are currently operating on Earth, simultaneously broadcasting a huge number of TV programs, but one person is able to fully perceive only one TV program. As in every country there is a main state channel, so in the universal Reality there is a “channel of human Reality”, to which the Consciousness of people is tuned.

But a person is able to switch his Consciousness to other "channels" of Reality, and these techniques are known to mankind from the beginning of the development of civilization. They can be conditionally subdivided into chemical, physical, meditative and biological ways of switching Consciousness. There are a huge number of chemical switches - from alcohol to hallucinogens. Physical methods are mainly based on breathing and movement techniques that alter blood gas and hormonal levels. Meditative techniques are based on a volitional change of the assemblage point of consciousness. Biological methods are sleep and wake modes. During wakefulness, a person sees the human channel of Reality, during sleep - alternative versions of his Being.

If, in an unprepared person, the Consciousness is abruptly switched to another channel of perception of Reality, for example, by injecting a dose of hallucinogens into his body, this can lead to fatal consequences. First, the perception of another Reality requires a different level of energy expenditure, for which the body is completely unprepared, therefore it quickly “discharges”, which is felt as excessive fatigue. Second, the entire cellular metabolism changes, which leads to rapid deterioration of the body, that is, to drug addiction diseases associated with the change and return to the initial level of cellular metabolism. Third, the "TV programs" shown on another channel of Reality can become such a shock for an unprepared person that he can easily become a patient of a psychiatric clinic. At best, modern man identifies what he sees as aliens, and a hundred years ago he would have said that he saw a devils or a devil.

Thus, without special preparation, changing the assemblage point of Consciousness, or changing its settings, is very dangerous for the above reasons. Therefore, such methods can only be practiced under the guidance of the Teacher, who must explain to the student what he will see in another Reality, and how he can safely return back to the human Reality. In addition, the safest for the body, meditative techniques for switching the assemblage point of Consciousness, is almost impossible to master without qualified guidance.

We have mentioned the multitude of channels of perception of Reality only in order to understand the complexity of the Universe, in which these channels, or parallel Reality, simultaneously coexist and mutually influence each other. Both people and other beings are able not only to perceive parallel Realities, but also to move between them using special techniques. Therefore, the "aliens", whose homeland humanity is unsuccessfully looking for on distant stars, are in fact the same as we, the inhabitants of the Earth, they just live in its other Reality. And their appearance in places where humanity conducts dangerous experiments, for example, nuclear explosions, is dictated, first of all, by concern about how unreasonable humanity would not destroy the entire spectrum of Realities associated with our planet.

The number of options for the development of the Reality of our planet is infinite. All of them are recorded in the memory of the Spirit, Nirvana, according to the same principle as people record, for example, a certain virtual game on a computer disk. This game has scenery that can be changed, and there are virtual characters who are protagonists in this game. But both the characters and the scenery are controlled by the one who plays this game, and he can play the same game, a single Reality, an infinite number of times, each time changing either the scenery or the actions of the virtual characters, starting the game from any stage and ending play at any time.

This player is an Essence that includes the Consciousness of the Personality and the Consciousness of the Soul. It is this united Consciousness that plays its Game, which in the Vedas is called Rasa Leela, that is, a dance in Reality. And the way to control the Game is to form mental commands that are executed by the Supercomputer, that is, the Universe. In the Vedas, these commands are called thought forms. This can be clearly represented in the form of a trajectory that the Essence lays in the virtual Reality of a computer game for one or several characters. This trajectory is the life path, or the Destiny of the Personality in the circumstances modeled by the Entity.

A person, as a rule, is aware of only the Consciousness of the Personality, and therefore often considers himself the master of Destiny, unaware that the Soul, for this particular incarnation, has completely different plans. The soul, for which this particular body is only one of the characters it plays, tries to suggest to the Personality the desired trajectory of Destiny in the quiet voice of the Co-Vesti, but often the selfish Personality simply shrugs off this "obstacle" on the way to its own, invented by the Personality, goals. If the Personality does not want to listen to the Soul, then the Soul begins to block the energy supply of the Personality, which leads to diseases of the body, which are designed to stop the Person's movement along the wrong path. If this does not help, then the Soul leaves the body.

At the same time, the body can often drag out a miserable existence for some time, as a physiological mechanism, with limited functions of mental and motor activity, but this shadow of a person who has left the Soul is no longer tied by any ties of Co-Vesti, and therefore is capable of any crime and any antics. Unfortunately, this happens quite often, and there are quite a few similar people walking around the Earth who are not bound by any moral norms. But in most cases, the departure of the Soul means the death of the body, that is, the death of the Personality, whose life experience the Soul takes with it at the moment of death. At the moment of death, a person realizes who the real master of his Essence and destiny is, but it's too late - the Game is over for him.

In fact, the Essence of man consists of seven Bodies, three of which are the Soul, three are the physical Body, and one Body is common, which is formed by both the Soul and the Body. The three Soul Bodies in the Christian tradition are called Angel, Seraphim and Cherubim. They are formed from the energies of the third, fourth and fifth levels of the space of the Universe and are the "eternal" part of a person, which begins to enter the human body after birth, and fully incarnates in the human body at thirty-three years old, after which, from the point of view of the Spirit, he becomes an adult ...

Three physical bodies are formed from the energies of the eighth, seventh and sixth levels and are called Physical, Astral and Mental bodies. The names are not very apt, but they are a tribute to tradition. These three bodies are transmitted along the biological line from parents to children, along with information about previous incarnations. Therefore, a person is able to remember his previous incarnations, both along the line of biological ancestors and along the line of previous incarnations of the Soul, for example, under hypnosis, or during special meditation. After the death of a person, all exchange processes in the Physical Body stop on the ninth day, and the Astral and Mental Bodies disintegrate after forty days and a year, respectively. Memorial traditions known to all are associated with these periods of time.

During a person's life, all information from his senses, and all his experiences are recorded in the structures of the body. They also record his own thought-forms, and the thought-forms attracted by him from the external environment. As a result, the initial structure of his Bodies is "clogged" with informational waste, which disrupts their functioning. Despite the gigantic information capacity of the human body, it is finite, and therefore a person is mortal. And if it produces and attracts harmful thought forms, then they lead to the failure of the body's systems very quickly. There are numerous methods of informational cleansing of the body, but nowadays they are not well known to anyone. In the Vedas, information slags of the body are called "klesa", that is, "wheels of looped vital energy" through which it begins to circulate, taking away the energy of life from the body.

The Soul Bodies are also clogged with information waste, and therefore, strictly speaking, the Soul is also not eternal, and different Soul Bodies have different lifespan. But the duration of the cycle of the existence of the Soul, in comparison with the cycle of the existence of the physical body, is enormous, and besides, after the end of one cycle of existence, the Soul is reborn. Therefore, the Soul is considered immortal both in the Vedas and in all religions.

Based on the complex structure of the seven Human Bodies, the current "scientific" ideas about his evolution from a monkey seem to be the ravings of a madman, and attempts to improve human nature with the help of genetic engineering can give rise to monsters that have no moral limitations. According to the Vedas, the evolution of man on Earth has been going on for one and a half billion years, and for its implementation it took all the power of the Supercomputer of the Universe, which modeled and implanted all seven Bodies into man, creating from him the likeness of God on Earth. In other words, man, as the Likeness of God, is a caterpillar that can turn into a butterfly, that is, Ava Tara.

Thus, a person, like the Likeness of God, has limited access to control the Universal Supercomputer, which for him begins to expand as soon as he takes the path of spiritual development. Unfortunately, the interests of most people in modern civilization are directed only towards meeting the needs of the physical body. To the well-known slogan of the plebs of the Roman Empire, "bread and circuses", the present civilization has added numerous "benefits" aimed at satisfying the needs of the physical body, but almost completely forgot that humans have Spiritual needs associated with evolution in Ava Tara. Fortunately, the quiet voice of Co-Vesti is still heard by a huge number of people, and this gives hope that all is not lost.

But the entire system of modern education gives people knowledge that has nothing to do with managing their own Consciousness and their Destiny. Therefore, most people believe that Destiny is something that does not depend on a person, and therefore they helplessly wander after the "shepherds" who lead them, like a flock, to the slaughter. Meanwhile, the fate of a person depends entirely on himself, provided that he knows how to control it. To do this, a person must take the path of Spiritual development, that is, understand that the trajectory of his Destiny is determined by the Soul, and the Personality is a "disposable suit" in which the Soul is dressed, wishing to walk a specific path in specific circumstances.

If a person understands this, then he begins to hear the quiet voice of the Soul inside himself, which he perceives as Co-News, that is, the Message from the Soul. This Message allows the Personality to receive an instant answer from the Soul on how to act correctly in specific circumstances, and this answer is always correct. Psychologists call this answer intuition, but in fact it is the answer of an Angel, that is, the outer shell of a person's Soul. An ordinary person can only hear the answer of the Angel, but spiritually developed people can also hear the answers of the higher departments of the Soul, that is, the Seraphim and the Cherubim.

The Angel, as the outer shell of the Soul, is the Guardian of the Human Soul, and is capable of many things. If he decides to save a person, he can even instantly change the external Reality, which is known as the "miracle" of salvation under seemingly hopeless circumstances. The angel is also able to temporarily take over control of the human body in order to save it. In this case, the human body performs such actions that it is completely incapable of performing under normal circumstances. There are a huge number of stories about how, for example, a mother lifted a three-ton truck to pull her child out from under it, or how a man jumped over a three-meter fence to escape an angry bull.

But the Angel saves a person only when he is sure that the Personality will be guided by the voice of the Soul and fulfill its Plan, that is, his Destiny, and will not act contrary to it. If he is sure that the Personality does not want to fulfill the plan of the Soul, then he leaves the person, and in this case the person is doomed. Therefore, hearing the voice of the Soul, that is, the Co-News, is a vital necessity for a person, and not an "empty" occupation.

Most people hear the voice of the Soul poorly, so they often make mistakes that have serious, including fatal, consequences. But those who begin to listen to their Co-Message begin to hear the voice of the Soul louder and clearer, and more and more often begin to act, guided not by Reason, which is the Consciousness of the Personality, but by Intuition, which is the Consciousness of the Soul.
The mind, as a processor of the Consciousness of the Personality, is able to reflect only that part of the Reality that the senses show it. A soul that perceives Reality with its senses, the range of which far exceeds the range of the senses of the physical body, is capable of perceiving a whole range of alternative Realities, among which it easily finds the right path. Therefore, the Reason thinks that it knows the Reality, and the Soul knows it for real.

The mind, guided by the knowledge that it received as a result of education and life experience, continuously analyzes the life situation, trying to find the right path for further human actions. But, since his knowledge gained during his studies and upbringing, which civilization feeds him, is fragmentary and in many respects false, the Reason rarely finds the correct answer. But since the Reason works at the same frequency as the senses, the voice of the Reason is the loudest that a person hears. Against the background of the continuous loud muttering of the Mind, it is difficult to hear the voice of the Soul.

Therefore, in order to hear the voice of the Soul, it is necessary to order the Mind to “shut up”. This is actually easy to say, but difficult to do. There are numerous meditation techniques to achieve this result. And those who do not engage in meditation can hear the voice of the Soul at the moment of falling asleep and awakening, when a person's Consciousness automatically switches from the Consciousness of the body to the Consciousness of the Soul. At this moment, the Reason is able to see the "picture" that is broadcast by the Consciousness of the Soul. It should be noted that the Soul does not speak with a human voice, but communicates with the help of images, that is, thought forms. These thought forms can be perceived as a static picture, or a video with a certain plot, with sufficient qualifications of the viewer, that is, the Personality.

Many people remember these videos as dreams in which events, absolutely incredible, from their point of view, happen. Often people try to interpret dreams as a kind of hint from the Soul to certain actions, but in most cases they interpret these hints incorrectly. To interpret the prompts of the Soul correctly, one must know that the Soul during sleep can simulate absolutely incredible variants of Reality, in which it chooses the variants of the Game for its previous and future incarnations. That is, it is not a fact that a dream seen by a person refers to him, and not to another embodiment of the Soul.

But you can “ask” the Soul to show a person the desired version of Reality, and the Soul will fulfill this desire. Such dreams are called programmed, and dream programming techniques are described in numerous literature. There are people who are able to purposefully receive information in programmed dreams, in the English language literature they are called sleepers, and, as a rule, they work for the special services.

In principle, a person, having connected to the Consciousness of the Soul, is able to receive any knowledge, but in most cases the level of his access is determined by the level of his spirituality, that is, "protection from the fool" always works. Nevertheless, a person is able to obtain knowledge about his Destiny almost always. For ordinary people, this is the voice of Intuition, which always prompts an unmistakable answer that you just need to hear. For people practicing meditation or sleeper practices, this is a picture, or video, with a plot that contains the answer to the question asked. The question to the Soul, as already noted above, should be asked in the form of a picture or video, drowning out the muttering of the Mind, and focusing on the message being transmitted.

The more often a person communicates with the Soul, the brighter and more distinctly he perceives the information transmitted by the Soul. With long and persistent practice, the channel of information transmission between the Personality and the Soul becomes so stable that the Consciousness of the Soul enters the Consciousness of the Personality. This moment in different traditions is called the alchemical Trans Mutation of Consciousness, or the wedding of the Personality and the Soul, and the stages of the merging of the Consciousness of the Personality and the Soul are called the degrees of Initiation.

From the moment of the complete merging of the Consciousness of the Personality and the Soul, a person becomes an incarnate God, capable of performing "miracles", which in fact are only the effects of controlling the energies of the Spirit. But, since this knowledge and skills are impossible for an ordinary person, he considers them to be real miracles, inaccessible to his understanding. It is clear that the state of the incarnate God, and its further transformation into Ava Tara, is the result of the path of the Soul, which has gone through a huge number of reincarnations and acquired invaluable knowledge and experience of cooperation with the Spirit. But even for an ordinary person who has just set foot on the path of spiritual development, there is an opportunity to dramatically improve the quality of his life, developing cooperation with the Soul.

This opportunity is called Tranfering, or managing your life within the options of your own Destiny. To do this, you need to know that in the Nirvana of the Universe, which in relation to the Earth is called the Akashic Chronicles, ALL versions of the Game that your Essence can play, that is, the symbiosis of Personality and Soul, are recorded. You just have to choose the desired version of the Game, that is, those events that you want to experience, and refuse those events that you do not want to experience. The key word here is to choose, that is, to mount a video with the desired version of events in your Consciousness, and send this image to your Soul. If the Soul confirms this choice, the Game begins to develop according to the scenario you have chosen, and you just have to wait for the result.

In most cases, people do not choose the desired scenario, but knock it out of Reality, spending a huge amount of vital energy, since they were taught from childhood that "there will not be enough benefits for everyone" and all life is a struggle for existence. Having false values ​​instilled by the same “pastors” as life guidelines, in the form of a new-fangled gadget, car, or “elite” position in society, these unfortunates, sparing their strengths, go over the heads of others to their goals. At the same time, in response, they receive such a wave of hatred from people offended by their actions that one can only wonder how they manage to preserve their human appearance for some time. As noted earlier, harmful thought forms of hatred, settling in their Bodies, irreversibly destroy them, which sooner or later leads to fatal diseases.

Thus, not understanding that in the Universe " there is everything for everyone ", People instead of select what belongs to them by the right of the likeness of God knocks out of her what she wants by unrighteous actions, that is, by force. Naturally, the Universe, striving to come to an equilibrium state, includes a "return", that is, a reaction to an action. Every schoolchild knows that action is equal to reaction, but not every adult knows that this law applies to ALL processes that take place in it, first of all, to the mental commands of the Super-computer, or thought forms.

In other words what you produce into the World, you receive from it in return - this is the first rule of the Supercomputer operation. You produce hate - you get it in return, you produce love - you get it in return. Therefore, “love your neighbor as yourself” is not an empty recommendation at all. And the stronger your effort, the stronger the Universe gives you the answer. Man, compared to the Universe, is a grain of sand, and only a madman can compete with the power of this Supercomputer. But, as we often see in life, many believe that they have the right to do nasty things to others, and they will get nothing for it. But it is impossible to deceive the Supercomputer, therefore it will not seem a little how it will be. It is not for nothing that it is said: “do not wish your neighbors what you don’t want for yourself”, this is actually the first elementary rule when working with a Supercomputer.

The second rule of the Supercomputer is best formulated in the Bible: according to your faith you will be given ... What is Faith? This is an unconditional confidence that everything will happen as you wish, even if the Reason tells you that it is impossible from its point of view. But the Reason, as we have already found out, knows much less than the Soul, so its opinion should not be taken into account. But for the Supercomputer, Vera, or the unconditional confidence of the Player in the correctness of the choice, is start command procedures for changing the model of Reality, and vice versa, uncertainty or the slightest doubt, there is a command to cancellation of launch this procedure.

These two simple rules allow a person not to push in a queue for some kind of benefits or events he needs, but simply to move into that Reality where he has all this. has already ... In this case, you do not prejudice the rights of anyone, since you don't take anything away from anyone ... It should be noted that the further the version of Reality you have chosen is different from the one in which you exist at the moment, the longer the process of transition to a new Reality. The process can be accelerated only by clearly following the sequence of commands and rules when working with the Supercomputer. Let's give the algorithm of actions again:
- first: you form a mental image, that is, a picture, or even better, a short video clip in the Consciousness of the Personality, that is, with the help of your Mind. You “roll it in” and “manifest” it to the maximum brightness and believability in your imagination, while clearly modeling the desired sequence and content of events.
- second: after you have memorized the picture or video to such an extent that you can easily reproduce it, you broadcast it to the Soul. For those who own meditation techniques, it is better to do this during meditation with the “disconnected” Mind, for those who do not own it - during the transition of the assemblage point of Consciousness, that is, at the moment of falling asleep and waking up.
- third: both during the scrolling of the video, and then, you visualize the process of transition to the chosen Reality, that is, you simply go to where there is already what you desire. The more vividly you imagine the transition process, the faster you will reach the goal, especially if you strictly adhere to the two main rules of the Supercomputer.

There is a fairly extensive literature on the techniques of Transferring, or changing Reality models, it can be easily found on the Internet by keywords. There all this is set out in as much detail as possible, so we will not bore you with these details.

The main thing that we wanted to say: man is the Likeness of God, who has the right to choose his own Destiny, and not follow the “shepherds” who lead him to the slaughter. At the same time, the right to choose your Destiny implies taking full responsibility for your thoughts and actions, and not pushing this responsibility onto anyone else. Since Destiny is the trajectory of the Player wading between the Realities, or, in the Vedic terminology, a "dance" in a bouquet of Realities, then everyone knows what prevents a bad dancer - only he himself.

And the real destiny of man is not to surround himself with dubious "blessings" of civilization in order to amuse his ambitions and provide comfort to his physical body, but to follow the spiritual path, at the end of which he will be transformed into God. But even the first steps along this path can give outstanding results, because in fact man is a creature of a cosmic scale, since his seven Bodies are designed by the Almighty with such outstanding capabilities that it is not in vain that he is considered to be the likeness of God. Exploring your own capabilities, far beyond human imagination, is an exciting path for those who are not afraid of the difficulties of this path.

What is the fate of a person, what does it depend on, whether it really exists, no one can know exactly this, however, you can look at it from different points of view, we offer you our own, which describes all random and non-random events, that happen to us throughout life cycle.

Events in life that happen to us every day can be divided into two categories, the first occur naturally, sequentially, the second vice versa spontaneously, suddenly, but both of them obey certain rules that are carried out in relation to a person, according to his destiny, or is it just an accident that is dependent on his actions?

From time immemorial, people have always been interested in their fate, their future, everyone wanted and will want to know what is not given to know about their life, which is not, but will be in the near future. This unshakable, sick interest in his life gave rise to fortune-tellers, witches, sorcerers, palmists, and other people who are wondering about fate. Well, whether it is bad or not for us to judge, everyone will answer someday for all their deeds... But one thing is unambiguously clear, malicious intent in relation to people who use the services of fortune-tellers will be punished, it is one thing when a person really has superpowers and strive to help a person, such as the great Vanga, quackery is another matter.



Divination cards

Fate, fate, damnation, conspiracies, these are words that excite consciousness a person, however, few people give an account of the fact that the human psyche is very strongly susceptible to the surrounding opinion, and sometimes simply programs a person, making him vulnerable and unable to resist the internal influence on a person.

Imagine if you tell a person 1000 times that he ram, then he bleats 1001 times. So, and with such, at first glance, difficult concepts such as fate, fate and other mysterious at first glance concepts.

You should not give in to panic when you are told that your destiny is predetermined, when some event happens in your life, or someone you cursed.

The inner world of a person is formed from his attitude to the events around him, if you are very worried about fate, curse, and so on, then you, in the end, will believe in it, and it will happen to you developments that you will deliberately associate with the curse, and all this will frighten you even more.

The best way out of this situation is to change attitudes towards the outside world, treat everything simpler.

Is there really a destiny?

Of course, there is destiny if you sincerely believe in it, but if you are reading this article, then you doubt, and you are doing the right thing, because there is nothing unambiguous and genuine, you must always check everything, and fate is no exception.



Is the destiny of a person really a foregone conclusion?

It cannot be denied what, you can see, touch, feel, we all know what is children who grow up in a poor family, and there are children who are born in a rich one. And what do you call it? Let's call this a part of fate, which plays a role that is far from the main one, in which one human grow up and what he will do.

Of course, if a person is fixated on the fact that his parents poor, or poorly educated, it means that he will not break through in life, not achieve success, in work, in sports, hobbies, and so on. Such a person will grumble everything at his own unhappy fate, and did nothing in order to fix at least something.

Remember only deeds, define us by who we are, no one can tell us and force us to do something if we ourselves do not obey. Therefore, people who all their misfortunes, adversities, defeats and Problems, "Push" to fate, they are weak, and look it's a pity in the eyes of fate, because on their part, it is she who controls them, and not they.

Someone dies at an early age, someone in the elderly, someone is rich, someone is poor, someone is happy, and someone is not. Is it all the fault of fate, is it really fate directed young a person at the entrance to drink beer, walk in clubs, instead of going to study and develop in every possible way, does fate really tell the person to drink vodka, smoke, become a drug addict, or is it all-currents of a person's choice?

To draw conclusions for everyone, of course, it is easier to blame a bad fate for their failures, falls, the poor, because it's easier and easier to live this way, instead of starting to realize your dreams, talents, strive for the highest, develop, learn something new, fight, go and never give up on your life path.

Thus, we can summarize the outcome that the fate of a particular person depends on:

  • determination to change anything in your life
  • deeds and actions
  • forming the right habits that will contribute to success


How to change your life (destiny)?

Considering financial component, then a rich person can lose everything, a poor person can gain everything, but if the first can lose everything in an instant, then the second needs to go a long way self-development, self-control, gain knowledge with which he will embody his money idea.

To be strong, you need to fall and rise, sink into the mud and go out as a pure swan, the only way, having learned everything difficulties life, you will gain spiritual strength, which means that everything around you will become clear and simple, and you can solve any vital problem.

You can't live in the past and future, there is no that time, you will not be able to get into the time that no longer exists, or has not yet come. It would be much more correct to concentrate all your efforts and capabilities on present time, this is the time that you need to use to implement your plans, ideas and opportunities, tomorrow may not come.

The bosses do not respect, the second half does not listen, and when entering any office of any authority, no one raises their eyes at us. In this case, what will coaches, coaches, psychologists say? Something like the following - in a huge variability of depth, approach, angle of view: you need to develop inner self-confidence, you need to spend more time with your wife, it is important to do exercises to develop personal dignity, to make peace with any character (whose actions caused trauma in the past).

Also in the practice of self-development there are many techniques, methods and methods of "curing" from many psychological ailments. Here's what to say about this: it all works! Indeed, there are many examples of people who have achieved great success in life by reading books on self-development, having mentors, teachers. The fact is that effective self-development practices in one way or another affect those aspects of the character of a person that are in one way or another related to astrology, correspond to astrological criteria.

But what is the challenge of this article? The essence of any event in life is to practice bad deeds and enjoy the result of good ones. In other words, the real depth of causes lies in the plane of such a thing as fate.

The vicissitudes of fate and the influence of the planets

Who Shapes Destiny? What does fate depend on? Why does one person get everything without labor, another gets it at the cost of tremendous effort, and the third never gets it? Because this is the scenario of our life, which we have formed for ourselves in the past.

Okay, we figured it out! A reasonable question remains: what should we do with this, is it possible to change our destiny? Yes, it is possible and even very necessary, this is the meaning of our life: to overcome fate, go through lessons, transform for the better, always for the better. Do you know the saying: everything that is done is done for the better? This is from the same opera.

All planets and bodies in space are administrators of our destiny. These individuals strictly control everything that we get and what we lose in accordance with our "personal business." In other words, these individuals are our teachers who are very friendly to us and want us to go through the lesson.

At the beginning of the article, there are listed concerns that relate to the patrimony of the same person - the Sun. In the ancient astrology of Jyotish, there is such a thing as "karaka", or the idea of ​​a planet. The sun personifies power, respect, glory, etc. What modern experts on self-development could advise in this vein is true. But isn't it easier to find out more about the person on whom we are strongly dependent and try to satisfy this influential person (in our case, the Sun)?

One of the Sun's karak is the father and elders - (as a principle. The Sun does not tolerate disrespect for elders in age, position, power. If we get a bad father, then this is for our sins from the past. The same applies to the authorities, teachers. Someone is lucky, and he bathes in the love and care of his elders. It is easier for such a person to love and respect in return. But someone constantly suffers from this category of citizens, this is where you need to understand and conquer fate.

If a person has the above problems, then, first of all, it is necessary to establish relations with the elders and with the father (if any). Father is a priority. The Sun also loves it very much when its wards donate for the needs of temples and altars.

Helping astrology manage your life

Each planet has its own side of life. If we take our environment, then each category of people is patronized by its own planet, and this planet will punish or reward us for actions in relation to their pets. Here are some examples: Mars watches over us in relation to brothers and sisters, Jupiter watches over how we deal with children, the Moon protects women and mothers, Saturn worries about the elderly.

Each planet can be approached even in the most neglected situation. And the love and generosity of these powerful beings defies any description. Now do you understand why Cristiano Ronaldo is Cristiano Ronaldo - with his generosity towards children and the sick (he donates a lot)?

If successful people did not do charity work, then they would quickly squander the potential that they brought from a past life. After all, not a single good period of life lasts more than a couple of decades, more often such periods are even more fleeting.

Study your lessons through astrology and take control of your life - this is the purpose of astrology.

Modern man defines destiny as fate or destiny, an invariable quality, a given path at birth, which cannot be changed. There is even a stable expression - “to know, this is my destiny”, which many people use, avoiding responsibility before making serious decisions.

Our ancestors did not have such an unambiguous attitude to real life. They believed that deities are creating structures, which means that the ability to create is inherent in the soul. Of course, the concept of "fate" existed then, but it was interpreted as "the judgment of God." If you received judgment - punishment, it means that for a long time, as a person, you were negligent and acted stupidly, making many mistakes. This means that you did not feel the correct directions of development and did not follow them.

I would like to remind you of the tale of the border stone, which stands at the crossroads: "go to the left ... you go to the right ... you go straight ...". This is a reminder of the ancestors that we must regularly choose how to act correctly in a given situation in a given period of time.

Human life is a chain of compulsory actions and compulsory behavior. If a person did not understand the tasks, then additional tests descended into his life from above. In Slavic Vedism, it was also believed that the lessons as tasks given at birth, you must perform correctly, otherwise your life will deteriorate. The goddess Karana watched over the correctness of the lessons and tasks. It is noteworthy that her Slavic name from Sanskrit is translated as "reason", she was sometimes called Karna. Again, this is consonant with the Sanskrit concept of "karma", which translates as "deeds." In a broad sense, karma is the total amount of deeds performed by a living being, and the consequences of these deeds, which determine the nature of the future person. And in the narrow sense, karma is understood as the influence of actions performed on the character in the present and future existence, that is, it is work, activity in society, human responsibilities, love, health, the birth of children, actions that entail consequences.

The ancient Aryan teaching asserts that karma is the spiritual seed of a being, which survives the death of this being and is preserved when moving in space. This means that after death, after disembodiment with the body, each person has nothing left but the situations it has generated, and these situations are indestructible. They cannot be removed from the Universe, since during their lifetime the creatures changed the near part of the cosmos, influencing the events in which other people were involved. The reasons for these events persist until the people who participated in the events change everything that they did wrong, until they do it as the gods intended. These reasons, if they were not eliminated in time in life, were transmitted during subsequent births as a duty and were tied to the debts of the soul's reincarnation. It is believed that karmic debts overtake the soul in subsequent lives until it reaches the harmony of realization between the causes and their effects.
The man knew that the dreams and desires that appear in his mind are what the Gods tell him to do. Through man, the deities of Light and Darkness create life at that point in space where he dwells.

Previously, it was believed that dreams are not simply born in the consciousness of an individual, someone invests them and, having invested, in the future has already prepared situations for these events. A person was only required to choose a path and not turn off the path of well-being in order to get into the white space of being. The dark forces in every possible way confused his paths, so that he would never realize his dream and get into well-being. It was required to understand and separate good and evil, to know what power puts dreams and desires into his consciousness.

It was very simple to share this - it was necessary to understand what consequences would arise in connection with the realization of the desired. Every action has its consequences, as does inaction. Refusal from a dream was considered wrong, since a person's dreams will be invested in his consciousness as long as the gods consider him still alive. And when he abandons his dream, this leads to inner death, decay, chaos and collapses the spatial future. Life becomes denser, slows down, and time begins to move in a closed cycle. And the separate individual and his descendants will have to suffer. Descendants are immortality, that is, by abandoning a dream, a person actually stops the thread of divine immortality, worsening the life of his descendants, destroying their well-being in the future. When performing such actions, a person is likened to evil forces, and the divine guardians of blessings begin to react to him, first with difficult tasks, then by the Judgment of God, that is, by Fate. Therefore, the ancestors honored the Rule - the correct behavior in life, for the Rule is the law of light forces for people on earth. Life lessons and tasks - these are karmic actions - the lobules of creation that make up your large Life Stake.

Our ancestor went further in his responsibility to the future. In the myths, echoes have been preserved that the ancients died only when they chose who they would be after death, what work in the universe they would take on: will they be mentors and patrons of children - vedogons, protective forces - amulets, guards of well-being - brownies or will they be they are mentors and guides, helping the accumulated experience of the soul here, in this real space, coming with their spirit to living descendants and giving them help and advice. Indeed, each person has their own teachers, mentors and patrons. Perhaps these are real people who give good advice, perhaps these are people whose life experience is already being realized in a prosperous life. Look closely at such people and listen to their advice. And never listen to the advice of those who have had a dysfunctional life experience. It is strange to look at those psychologists who teach a happy family life while remaining unhappy themselves; it is strange to hear advice about business from people who are left out of business. It is necessary to clearly see and clearly understand in what space you live, you yourself influence situations or situations affect you.

If events absorb you, and you can no longer influence them, then it means that you are already under the judgment of God and you are already given only the tasks that you must solve correctly. A person who has fallen under fate - the judgment of God, is not worthy to create life himself, since he does not know how to create it well himself. Such a person cannot embody his dreams in a world of happiness, but feeds the world with his constant vague energies of mental crying repentance, gives birth to trouble. It is believed that we have been assigned tasks from birth that we are obliged to solve in this life, and for this additional holy powers are invested in the soul.

What determines the success and failure of a person?

The goddess Zhiva puts these forces into the soul, and they are called sap. These are our assistants, mentors, these are thoughts that illuminate us and drive out the bad and the bad. And the more often mental illumination comes to you, the more you illuminate everything around, the more bright people and lost souls will reach out to you and find the energy of peace, the energy of goodness and mutual understanding next to you. You always have a connection with the highest teachers of the divine mind, you always contact the gods of conception and the gods of birth, who shape your life path and your life space of destiny. We can say that this is a program of life, growth and improvement for a person. Resin is a force that helps to order chaos, restore peace, remove dust and decay from this earth, resist hassle and dark forces.

What are these dark forces and where do they come from? Troubles oppose the light of the soul, the creation of a pure spirit. Moroki are the dark forces of space, manifesting as an instantly arising and also instantly leaving a terrible fatal force, as a "demon of the given moment." For example, when a mother yells at her young child, it is her evil spirit that is preparing trouble. A person, without clearing his consciousness, without training his positive emotions and reactions, gradually falls under the dominion of the hotter emotions of evil. You cannot hang on to dark energies, energies of internal swirling negative emotions, as they reprogram a person's reactions, and, darkening his spirit, change his personality. This is how the demonic essence of a person is manifested, personifying the levels of his vices. Demons are attracted to these vices, and as a result, a "demonic half-breed" is obtained from a real person. It is very important to sublimate a positive, prosperous human satisfaction environment and keep yourself and others in the zone of light. In Vedism it was believed that if you do not do this, then the army of darkness will begin to pull up to you - 12 hassles, and the battle against the light will begin specifically in your body, in your destiny, in your life. If you do not get rid of the first, then the second will join him, and you will be possessed by two negative darkness, the destructive forces of chaos and decay. And if you cannot fight off these two in time, then a third will come, then a fourth, and so on until all twelve will fall on you all together. It is believed that when the last, twelfth, comes and joins those that are already next to you, then from that moment you will forever remain possessed by hassles, you are already a "demonic half-breed".

And the Veda continues to broadcast black prophecies to us ... If during your life you do not cleanse yourself of the twelve demons, followed by a complete retinue of darkness with all the fevers and fevers, then the children born of you will have an even more burdened soul, and those born of them - with an even greater code of darkness. Thus, after a while, in the cycle of the birth of your descendants, an absolute demon will be born. Of course, the forces of light are trying to resist such births, and a person is offered various options for helping during his life. Remember that there is always Rada (Joy) in you - a force that helps to get out of any "swamp", from any negative situation, a force that helps to move into a different, better reality.

Of course, being an emotionally stable person is difficult, this is a daily work on oneself, and psychological and emotional immunity needs to be educated and trained in oneself. How is it? You need to be very careful about any situation or any person who appears in our environment. In Vedism there is a rule: what appears around a person indicates the need that he has inside. Literally it sounds like this: what reflects someone infects others.
Be more intent in your observations, do not dismiss the facts and events with which a person reveals himself in the real world. Moreover, you always need to look very carefully for similar situations, if such have already been in your life. And one more important observation that will help many of you - remember who the new person is like for you, whose voice his voice resembles, whose manners are similar to his manners, whose behavioral norms and standards are similar to his behavior, what situations he himself is surrounds what situations are characteristic of his life. All of this is factual material for you.

Usually, there is a lot of negative data among negative personalities, but the donor person turns a blind eye to this. Why it happens? There is a rule of contact between the victim and the vampire: “The victim itself goes to meet the vampire. The victim needs his vampire. "

One of the types of vampirism is parental vampirism, when parents try to take away independence from their children, when they are too surrounded by parental care, parental love of their children. It doesn't matter how old these children are - one year old, five years old, fifteen, thirty or forty. When there is too much parental love, this is vampirism, since such an energy of love obliges and binds the child too much, surrounds him with increased responsibility, and thereby burns out the child's already weak energy fluids. Such a child grows up as a lethargic, inert and weak creature, and when an elderly parent dies, then such children are usually captured by more cruel vampires. It turns out that parental selfishness actually prepares a huge disaster in the future of the child, the parents make a zombie out of the child, ready to submit to any evil will after their death. Such children become poor, as if all 33 misfortunes, all troubles and misfortunes cling to them. If you meet such a mama's son or papa's daughter in life, do not expect that a good family will turn out with such a person. Usually, by the way, they remain lonely, but if they form a married couple, then only after the death of their parents. Moreover, such adult children in the family themselves turn into vampires. Why is this happening?

After death, the soul of a parent, or a subtle entity, which in the old days was called so - Trouble (in other versions - Need, Likho, Kruchina), can settle in to an energetically weak adult child.
This demonic creature usually did not have a permanent definite appearance, although it was sometimes represented in the guise of a ragged, decrepit old beggar woman or an ancient old man in rags. Interestingly, such undersized people in adulthood begin to dress like this. At home, they dress in absolutely worn out and decrepit rags. They often become creepy hoarders. Thus, Trouble, settling into the essence of man, pursues him everywhere. She constantly pushes her human carrier beyond the line of all the troubles, misfortunes and failures that can pursue him. Such people are called "bedoviks", i.e. doomed to misfortune, not having their share. It was believed that Trouble comes to meet such people and chases after them. In Slavic Vedism, it was sometimes believed that Beda was born together with another person and step by step follows him throughout his life and escorts him to the grave. Helping such people in these cases is not only useless, but also unsafe. Badovik still does not see luck, but he can infect others with misfortune. Therefore, it is better not to communicate with such people, otherwise the trouble will spread to you.

Very often, trouble is introduced into another person through forced gifts. This is when a poor man does not want to give a gift to someone for a celebration, but is forced to do so, because this is the way it is in the society where he exists. And, acquiring a gift for a celebration, he is in every possible way angry at this completely unnecessary, in his opinion, action. Having given a gift, he transplants part of his misfortune onto the person to whom he gave the gift not from a pure heart. Quite often it happens that with the bringing of such gifts to the house, Bedovukha settles in our houses. Therefore, if you notice that after some event you have a series of negative situations, please remember after what specific event this happened, and what subject can dispel the Trouble. This "gift" must be disposed of, or it is desirable to give something in return with the best intentions.

But in the Vedism of the ancients, it is believed that absolutely stable formations do not exist in nature, everything undergoes decay and new formation. Even the most severe damage decays after a certain period of its existence, although they manage to take root in a person and worsen his life. Therefore, many old recipes are known to combat this "infection", to cleanse the essence of a person, his life. Good always comes to the aid of a person, straightening him and instructing him to prosperity.
But the most unpleasant thing is that good events, good formations are also prone to decay. Everything is not eternal - everything has its own term. The gods themselves control the process of re-forming personalities and, thus, give us a lesson so that we constantly monitor destructive elements, negative events and react attentively and in time to them.

It is believed that if a person does nothing to preserve good, then he is not worthy of it. This is fateful justice. How many years a person has been successful in a career, how many years financial well-being lasts - for all your time, remember this. Do your life every minute. Live joyfully, be sensitive, anxious. Do not lose the qualities of your divine soul, do not neglect the prompts of higher powers.

All people, to one degree or another, want to know their destiny. The question of the fate of man is probably one of the most fundamental in the history of mankind. "People rule their own destiny, not the stars, dear Brutus ..." - these words were put into the mouth of Julius Caesar by the great Shakespeare. Depending on what a person considers important in managing his life, his concept of fate as a fate, or a divine predestination, the dominance of reason, or a theory of chances, is formed.

From time immemorial, people, reflecting on fate, turned to the unknown governing force of life as to some kind of omnipotent image, in whose jurisdiction all the destinies of the world are, to God. Otherwise, how could you explain all the variety of destinies that are given even to people close in character. Sometimes, a person is active and active, and on the way he is haunted by mistakes, troubles and failures, although a person of the same nature is quite successful, and receives all the benefits and pleasures from life. Then we are talking about the pleasingness of the cause of people, its fate to God and, accordingly, about his chosenness, expressed in the special attention of his neighbors to him.

For believers, there is also the concept of fate as the highest destiny. And in connection with this concept, such unpleasant moments in life are defined as rock, pursuing this or that person. Departure from his destiny is explained by opposition from higher forces, and as a warning against a wrong choice, a person is haunted by fatal circumstances, and only attempts to change the direction of movement in the direction of his destination lead to the fact that everything begins to improve in life. Cases such as luck or good fortune not only appear in a person's life as a reward for making the right choice on the path of fate, but also as a consequence of the fact that the fate of destiny, "Providence," and your fate coincide. It's like being able to swim in the riverbed: along with its current, across it or against the current.

In ancient times, people believed that a person's life completely depends on a scenario predetermined by fate - fate. In ancient Roman philosophy, this is a deity personifying fate, who was then personified into three mythical creatures - a park, analogous to the ancient Greek moira. They represented all stages of fate from birth to death. The first of them, Nona, spins the thread of human life, among the moira she corresponds to Clotho. The second park of Decima, Moira Lachesis, distributes fate, that is, winds a thread on a spindle, and she appoints a lot even before a person is born. The third park of Morta, Moira Atropos, marks the end of fate, cutting the thread of life at exactly the time indicated by the lot.

The attitude to fate can be clearly realized in four principles: 1 - Man himself is the creator of his fate and in his will there is an opportunity to change it; 2 - Fate is partially formed by a person, and everything depends on chance. However, even in this case, chance is a special case of regularity, and it depends on a person whether he can use this or that lucky chance to change his fate for the better; 3 - Fate depends on the will of the higher powers (God), is written in heaven, and a person is not able to change it. For humble service and exemplary behavior, he can receive a reward in life, but in this case, there must be a person's desire to change his life; 4 - Complete lack of freedom or fatality, expressed in the passive role of a person and the predetermination of his fate. A person lives by the principle: why change something, if all the same fate is prepared for this fate.

However, a person is always given a choice. A person should not live without initiative, he should act even in the most difficult and hopeless situations. Resignation to fate can stimulate a person's courageous behavior. After all, it is quite logical that if you are destined to die of an illness, then they are afraid of being killed in a war or drowning saving a child is not worth it, and therefore gives rise to reckless courage, which, albeit indirectly, can cause a fatal illness.

In ancient times, people believed that the fate of a person is determined by the stars. Based on the positions of the planets and constellations at the time of birth, astrologers made predictions of the fate of a person and his character in the form of horoscopes. The first horoscopes existed in ancient Mesopotamia in the 5th century BC. However, astrologers also understood that not only the stars determine the fate of a person, but also the environment in which he appeared. A child born in a hut cannot repeat the fate of a royal child born on the same day and hour, but both may have certain similar traits.

There are attempts to explain the philosophical category of fate by the genetic essence, respectively, and attempts to change fate - by the process of ontogenesis. From the point of view of genetics, “life is a way and form of existence of hereditary (genetic) information,” which is the root cause of all living things. Genetics determines both the sex of a person and congenital diseases, the peculiarities of his addictions, abilities, and, accordingly, similar characters and destinies. For example, identical twins with the same genotype have very similar fates. All reactions of a living organism, according to these scientists, are genetically programmed, their implementation depends on environmental conditions, and a change in fate is possible, both at the organismic, cellular and at the genetic level.

Very interesting theories in which the creator of fate is our subconscious. It is this that is the intermediate link between man and the universal mind, it stores in each of us the experience accumulated over the entire time of the existence of the world. The subconscious mind receives information not only about the world around it, but also about every cell of your body, controls and manages all vital functions, and transfers information to your mind in the form of images. Such an effect as "déjà vu", translated from French as "already seen", can also be explained by the introduction of our subconscious into the already programmed codes of our life and destiny.

The subconscious is a powerful force that gives our consciousness a "set" for the implementation of life principles. If we change the "attitude", then the behavior of a person, his attitude to reality, and, accordingly, his fate will change.

The most important thing is the attitude of a person to his destiny. You can believe in fate or not believe, but it is impossible to remain indifferent to it, because as Seneca said: “Fortune is a deity who has never known unbelievers,” and as they say in a famous joke: “Fate is like a stone thrown upwards. , I don’t know when, I don’t know where, but it will surely fall on my head ”.

The positive attitude of the person himself is also important, his attitude towards others, belief in the triumph of justice and the desire to change the environment and his fate for the better. It is not for nothing that there is an opinion that “thought is material”, and it starts working from the moment you start thinking about it. There is no doubt that good and good thoughts will lead its owner to peace and harmony in the soul, and, therefore, to happiness. Evil and dishonest thoughts like a worm will gnaw at the soul, causing anxiety, bitterness and despair, and all his actions will bring only pain and disappointment in fate. Here I completely agree with Einstein's statement: "We will have the fate that we deserve."
