The Art of Being Strong. Invisible Yoga

Many abstract concepts, such as strength, consciousness, freedom, independence, selfhood, and integrity, can be transferred from the intellectual sphere into the tangible practice of bodily sensations. This practice can be used continuously and remain completely unnoticed by others. They may, of course, notice your good mood, the sparkle in your eyes, the elasticity of youth, and the energy overflowing, but they will have no idea of its origin. This practice does not involve spectacular tricks that attract followers' attention, such as the lotus position, headstands, or fingers twisted into mudras. It also does not require mystical attributes like a kimono, mat, incense sticks, bells, or meditation music. The practice is based on micro-movements, which are more effective the less noticeable they are.

This book is a leaf from the tree of the sacred grove of the Adyghe people—a small, proud nation of the Caucasus.

Freedom - Joints

What embodies the principle of freedom in the structure of our body? It is the joints. In these centers of rotation, we can freely change our configuration. Therefore, the first part of the practice begins with joint warm-up.

To start, tap them lightly with your palms in the following order:

1. From the navel to the toes—sacrum, hips, knees, ankles, toes, and back.

2. From the navel to the fingers—chest, shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, and back.

3. Neck—the 7th cervical vertebra, atlas, and back.

4. Head—lips, eyes, ears, forehead, crown, and back.

Next, each joint should be gently kneaded with compressing and stretching movements in the same order. Pay attention to the folds in the skin. They indicate the natural directions of bending, helping to avoid injuries.

There is no direct access to the joints of the spinal column. Therefore, they can be kneaded all together sequentially in three planes. First, bring the arms together and apart along the horizontal axis, then rotate around the vertical axis, stretch the sides vertically with the hands, and perform forward and backward bends and stretches.

Independence - Swaying, Rotation

Independence from external conditions is related to balance and equilibrium. If muscles on one side contract, those on the other side stretch. After this, it is necessary to compensate by contracting the rested muscles and stretching the contracted ones. In the evolution of life, we have encountered constantly acting force vectors, such as gravity. In a lifeless environment, gravity causes stratification. In living organisms, the only way to counteract external forces is through continuous circulation, mixing, and oscillation. Therefore, the elastic muscular corset is in constant vibration, and external forces cause damped oscillations.

The practice consists of consciously springing back in the opposite direction after moving in one direction. Movements should not get stuck or cling. A clear example is walking, where the muscles of the leg, stretched when moving backward, contract on their own to propel the leg forward. During warm-up, when reaching the limit of movement in a joint, we must slightly roll back in the opposite direction. Swaying naturally arises as a form of defense.

Selfhood - the Boundary of Inhalation and Exhalation

In addition to movements along the three axes, there is also interaction with the world at the level of inside and outside. There is a certain boundary that separates the self from the non-self. This boundary manifests in breathing. We inhale inward and exhale outward.

For this practice, an additional skill is needed. Imagine that your hands effortlessly come together on the inhale—let the palms slightly converge toward the navel on the inhale, and on the exhale, they effortlessly move apart. Now, detach this barely noticeable movement from breathing. Try to bring the palms together and apart several times on the inhale, then do the same on the exhale. You have just grasped the deep sensation of absorbing from the outside and releasing outward. This sensation will be very useful to us. It is a primal sensation inherent even to single-celled organisms. It defines selfhood, the boundaries of an independent being, an independent self. If there is no boundary, the being merges with the surrounding space, and the self disappears.

This sensation can be creatively applied. For example, you can place it in the centers of the eyes. The pupils will subtly contract, absorbing energy, and then expand. This is an excellent exercise for improving vision. Or place it in the heart. Emotionally feel how this world is lovingly accepted and how gratitude radiates in all directions with each heartbeat.

Love

People often get confused about the meaning of love. For many people it has become something that can be stored, given, or sold. One can make it. Sometimes people even say, "I will love you to death." The famous phrase "God is love" adds fuel to the fire, implying that God, as the primary source of love, generously radiates it in all directions. In this understanding, love is like a clot of warmth and light that we receive from our ancestors and pass on to our descendants.

On the other hand, to admire means to marvel at beauty, to accept it. To master a craft or profession, one must first accept and love it. In the Adyghe language, the word "love" is complex and translates as "I see good in you." There are many meaningless and harmful objects and beings around, but suddenly one stands out and is allowed in. In this sense, loving the world means accepting it in all its manifestations. Not being a foreign body within it. A parable comes to mind: when Christ and his disciples passed by a decomposing dead dog, the disciples began to turn away and cover their noses, but Christ said, "Look, even pearls are not whiter than its teeth."

Therefore, love is an attractive sensation, like taste, the fragrance of a flower, or captivating beauty. There is no mind, no reason, no control in it. It is a pure, piercing feeling.

Gratitude

Gratitude, on the contrary, implies a conscious, rational response. It is a reciprocal action aimed at preserving and enhancing what you love, to love even more. It is no coincidence that ungrateful people are called "ungrateful animals." To receive, one must give. Although animals are often grateful, this indicates the beginnings of mind. The mind of dogs, for example, is shaped by the soul of their owner.

Center - the Navel

If you are centered, it is difficult to throw you off balance. This can be compared to a pendulum, where the suspension point is motionless, or to a wheel, where the axis of rotation is stationary. How to find your center? Let's return to the point where everything began. The fusion of the father's and mother's cells, dividing into two, then four, then eight. This place—the point where the umbilical cord attached to the mother's body—remains in the adult body as the navel. The entire body grew in all directions from this point. Look at how carefree children are. They are not bothered by problems of sex, politics, or religion. They do not judge anyone, nor do they envy anyone. At the same time, they are ready to jump from morning to evening and do not get tired at all.

The practice of finding the center within oneself through sensations is as follows: imagine that you are an embryo, a baby in the mother's womb. What is your posture? Correct, it is close to a sphere—the most energetically advantageous position. By the way, in this position, it is impossible to drown; the body floats to the surface of the water like a buoy. The body is curled into a ball, arms and legs bent, hands and feet turned inward, head tilted, chin pressed to the body. Try to do the previous exercise with the palms compressing toward the center, mentally curling into the fetal position. Slightly bend, or even just intend to bend, the wrists, elbows, shoulders, feet, knees, pelvic folds, and head into the fetal position. You will have a clear sensation of the entire body compressing into the navel point.

On an emotional level, the work here is as follows: along the axis of the umbilical cord forward: "I love you, mother, and I am very grateful to you," along the axis downward to the feet: "I love you, Earth, our common mother, and I am grateful to you," along the axis upward: "I love you, sky, which gave birth to everything, and I am grateful to you." If you move away from the axes and delve deeper to the level of the sphere, you can compress into a point and expand to the boundaries of the body with the sensations of "I love you, world, and I am grateful to you." There is no need to expand to infinity, as this would be a useless mental visualization, and at the bodily level—a huge waste of energy. To touch infinity, you need to go into the point within yourself, the point of the Center. By retreating into your center, you will find amazing calmness, even amidst the storms of life's challenges.

Wholeness - Synchronicity

In the Adyghe language, "whole" and "healthy" are the same word. What is illness? It is when some part of the body begins to live separately from the rest, from the whole body, or when it is completely absent. What happens to the deceased? Each organ, each cell, trying to preserve life, pulls energy toward itself. But there is no unifying principle that connects them into a single whole, and so the body falls apart, decomposes.

Where are the boundaries of our integrity? For example, there is a whole being—a cell, but it is part of an internal organ, which is part of an organism. Our personal life is part of family life, which is part of society, and society, in turn, is subject to the seasonal rhythms of our common planet. The boundary between the self and the non-self is the boundary of a smaller whole within a larger whole. The larger whole unites and synchronizes the rhythms of all parts of the smaller whole.

Therefore, integrity and health are the unity in time of the processes of the entire body, synchronization with more general rhythms. For our health, we need music and emotional life, communication, as well as dressing warmly in winter and sheltering from the heat in summer.

The practice at this stage consists of relizing one's fractality. We compress and expand in each individual joint as if in the entire body simultaneously. And vice versa—we compress into the fetal position with the whole body, as if compressing a single joint. So you can work, for example, with a palm and simultaneously experience this sensation throughout the entire body.

Thus, the sensation of the largest internal organ—the fascial body, which unites all ligaments into a single whole —gradually develops.

The fascial body is the main mediator between consciousness, muscles, and organs.

Good exercises for integrity include "moving the immovable," for example, pushing a wall with all your power or pulling a sturdy tree toward you.

Consciousness - Connection

Look at a sleeping dragon. Is it strong? You can do anything with it. But when it wakes up, it's better not to mess with it. What makes it strong? Correct, consciousness. Remember the old formula "Knowledge is power"? Now we can clarify it as "Consciousness is power." All manifestations of power, such as mind, intuition, and physical strength, are the result of a strong connection between the physical body and the ocean of surrounding life—clear consciousness.

Consciousness is the boundary between body and mind, space and time, the individual and the general. Through the boundary of consciousness, the general invades the events of personal life, and bodily sensations are reflected in the general. This is a continuous exchange, a connection. A conscious person feels a clear boundary of their body. Consciousness needs the body and feeds on the energy of its sensations. The healthier the body, the clearer the consciousness. If in time we charge relaxed muscles with the energy of life, then in space, when we compress them, we simultaneously focus consciousness. For a clear mind, full physical activity engaging all parts of the body, work, and labor are absolutely necessary. Honing the perfection of movement simultaneously sharpens consciousness.

The practice here is obvious—it is the gym and active movements, especially involving all muscle groups, such as dancing, swimming, or singing.

Gaining Strength - Union

The practice at this stage is related to increasing energy by raising vibrations. At the first stage, we work with breathing. On the inhale, we compress the entire body toward the center; on the exhale, we stretch out in all directions. Next, we work with sound. Try to perform several compressions and stretches on each inhale and exhale, gradually increasing their frequency until a sound appears. This sound can be silent if you don’t want to attract attention. The whole body vibrates with a low sound emanating from the center. This state requires some tension. Now, raise the frequency to the speed of light and relax. The body begins to radiate light in all directions! Enjoy your full strength, unification with the luminous Universe.

Rainbow

Human life can be figuratively compared to a rainbow, emerging from the blue of the sky, passing through all the colors in turn, and disappearing again into emptiness. The sequence of colors in the rainbow from bottom to top is as follows: blue, green, yellow, orange, red, violet, and blue. At the center of the rainbow is the orange sunlight. At different times, different numbers of colors were distinguished in it. For example, Aristotle recognized only three, the Chinese—five, modern English speakers—six, in this language, blue and dark blue are both "blue". At a minimum, there are three—blue, green, and red, which, when mixed, form all the others. You can draw a color circle with the sequence of rainbow colors. The wavelength of visible light, completing the circle, doubles, just like in a musical octave. You can match different colors to the circle of vowel sounds. I—green, Е—yellow, А —red, О —purple, U—blue.

The logic of constructing the circle of vowels comes from observing the shape of the lips during sound production. I—the lips are maximally stretched to the sides; Е —the lips are stretched, but the mouth is slightly open; А —the mouth is maximally open vertically, О —the lips are rounded at the sides; U—the lips are maximally compressed and stretched forward. Further—around the circle. The movement of the lips occurs in three spatial axes: I—left-right; А —up-down; U—forward-backward. The first half of the vowel circle IEA —opening; the second half OU—closing. Thus, we can correlate the cycle of body movement, such as breathing or pulse, with certain colors and sounds, as well as the stages of the circle of human life as a whole.

Breathing

In yoga and qigong, breathing is divided into direct Yin and reverse Yang. Direct breathing is accompanied by the expansion of the lungs and abdomen in all directions on the inhale. In reverse breathing, the abdominal and perineal muscles are pulled in on the inhale, as if we are gathering into the navel point. Direct breathing occurs when we sleep or rest. We switch to reverse or "energetic" breathing during physical exertion, for example, to lift a weight, you need to compress the air in the abdomen on the inhale and push on the exhale. A boxer delivers a punch on the exhale. Singing also occurs on reverse breathing.

In the micro-movements described above, it is necessary to completely detach from breathing to transition to higher vibrations. The connection with breathing is their special case. However, if you use breathing as a warm-up and affirmation of sensations, you need to apply different types of breathing depending on the situation.

Let's analyze these situations. In the cycle of human life, three stages can be distinguished:

1. Childhood, formation, apprenticeship. Here, the body grows, energy and knowledge accumulate. The natural breathing type for children is direct.

2. Maturity, active life, struggle, creativity, constructing. At this stage, one gives birth to their own children. A person in their prime is like a creator god. For activities aimed at changing the world, reverse breathing is necessary.

3. Old age, wisdom, teaching. A person can no longer defeat opponents in direct physical combat. Their strength lies in knowledge, proper organization of life, social connections, and accessing higher energy resources. Here, paradoxes begin. For example, in a critical situation, one needs to relax as much as possible, maintaining calm and goodwill, instead of tensing up. Lao Tzu—an adult child—speaks of the need to return to the state of a child. Christ says that only children will enter the kingdom of heaven. At this stage, people turn to religion and meditation. For spiritual progress at this level, direct breathing is again necessary, as in childhood.

Smiling with the Body

The idea of the practice is to reproduce a smile at all levels. We start with the lips. Press them with both hands, stretch them to the sides, then up and down. You can mentally accompany this with the sounds IEA. Pronouncing vowels in this order inevitably stretches the lips into a smile. Next, repeat the same with the eyes—press the closed eyes with the centers of your palms, stretch them to the sides, and up and down. Then do the same with the ears, forehead, crown, and neck. This is good healing for wrinkles. Smiling with the hands is done as follows: on the inhale (if we are using direct breathing), open the lungs, expand the chest , spread the arms to the sides, and at the end, spread the fingers. In sign language, this pose means "I am very happy to see you, I am completely open to you, and I love you." We rejoice in the world like children. Then, on the exhale, as the lungs compress, with the sound OU, the hands come together to the chest. We seem to gather into a point. This results in a gesture close to the prayerful position of the hands on the heart. It is a natural gesture of gratitude. The same body smile is done with the torso, stretching and bringing the arms together sequentially along three axes—twisting, stretching the sides, and bending. All movements pass through the neutral position—the fetal pose. Then comes the smile with the legs: on the exhale, we compress and slightly squat, and on the inhale, we stretch and rise onto tiptoes. Finally, with the whole body, we stretch from the navel to the sides and then compress back toward the navel.

In most cases, the body itself chooses the necessary type of breathing. If you have creative tasks or need combat application, then compress into a point with the sound AOU and release with the sound IEA. A vivid example, of course, is the battle cry in karate. In prayer, on the contrary, Indian Brahmins capture the air on IEA and produce AOUm on the exhale.

The practice of sound accompaniment can be equally applied by speakers of any language because the vowel sounds here are not connected to meanings but only to the anatomical configuration of their pronunciation, which is the same for everyone.

Losing Balance - Manipulations

Being in the center is your refuge, your independence. The center is the focus of attention around the navel. Others constantly try to throw you off balance by shifting your center, for example, to the head, the heart, or the genitals. The purpose of these manipulations is very simple—to seize your attention, to make you work for them, to use your resources. Manipulators can be individuals, groups, or even an entire species (when the reproductive instinct kicks in).

You need to understand how your desires are born. Initially, potential differences form in the mind, like in a battery—plus is good, minus is bad. Desires are the electromotive force that drives you from "bad" to "good." This is followed by your actions and deeds—the electric current, the movement of charged particles at a certain speed.

Let's take a closer look at two main kinds of classical manipulations. The first "superiority"can be found in words like " the best”, “the most”, or “the only one."

It goes something like this: "Tanya is the MOST beautiful, she rejected me, and therefore I will die." To free yourself from this manipulation, you need to turn the absolute into the relative, and find balancing circumstances. For example, clarify WHERE? In our class, perhaps. But in the next class, there are two more beautiful girls. And in the school, there are countless. That's it. Life is saved.

You might also be told that the HIGHEST speed is the speed of light. Ask WHERE? Probably only in Einstein's theory of relativity.

Manipulations involving the highest Absolute are especially dangerous. When someone affects you by mentioning God, don't get lost. If you are facing the true Absolute, then by definition, He is the MOST in everything. Therefore, He is not only the greatest but also the smallest, not only the strongest but also the weakest, not only the most loving but also the most cruel, not only the kindest but also the most cunning, not only the most existing but also the most absent. So it is an extreme mathematical abstraction, impossible in reality. You can ask a clarifying question: "And where or whose God is He?" Usually, behind the label of God—the ruler of the Universe—hides an arrogant group spirit. For example, Jehovah was originally the group spirit of the Semitic tribe, protecting its people and hostile to all others. Remember what happened to the Egyptians? Isn't it absurd to stand under his banners if you belong to other nations? How many of the most inhumane atrocities have been committed in history in the name of God, entire peoples destroyed just because they spoke a different language or were of a different color?

The second type of manipulation is "comparative" – “this is good, and that is bad, this is better, or it’s better over there.” Let’s say it’s winter and someone says, “Bali is so nice.” You immediately drop everything, spend money, and buy a tour. But you can avoid manipulation by saying, “Bali is nice, BUT there are mosquitoes there.” That’s it. You neutralize the impact by pointing out the negative aspects that complement the positive.

Manipulation can be done not only through words, but also through appearance, smell, taste, and tactile sensations. It can even be completely invisible if, for example, you enter the field of desires of a large group of people or an excited crowd. This is the basis for invisible power technologies, where, through information control, a large number of people are emotionally tuned in a certain direction.

A particle moves in an external field while it is charged. If you neutralize the charge, you are completely free. Force acts on the moving particle. Stay calm, and you will be invulnerable. You will be completely invisible to manipulators.

Time

Where, in fact, does our emotional life take place, where our pains, joys, happiness, and sufferings exist? Do you love music? You catch the mood of the musician or singer; you may cry, feel inspired, move rhythmically, or dance. But what is music from the standpoint of physics? It is just a longitudinal wave, vibrations of air. So why can’t we measure these air vibrations with devices and detect all the richness of feelings and emotions? Because we are searching in space, while music exists in time. It is a different medium, with its own laws and ways of perception. Our emotional life happens in time, and in spacewe see its manifestations.

What we call integrity in space is the coordination of events in time, synchronization. Movement in space corresponds to a change of states in time. Is there energy of time? Of course, because time contains structures of states capable of organizing and disintegrating. Moreover, time has its own elements, which are fractally similar to all others. In the grand scheme, the fractality of space occurs due to the continuously organizing fractality of time. From the perspective of the second law of thermodynamics, the world inevitably moves toward chaos, entropy. But there is a force constantly counteracting decay—this is the force of life, and this force resides in time.

Usually, we perceive time as a certain scale, an axis from the past to the future, accompanying changes in space. Seeing the repetition of events, movement in time is compared to a spiral. Observing the similarity of different cycles, such as a year, a day, a life, or a breath cycle, one can notice that the events and circumstances are different, but the sequence of changes is constant. For example, morning is like spring or an inhale, evening is like autumn or an exhale. This abstract circle of changes has no relation to space; it belongs only to time. One could say that the very nature of time is cyclical.

In sensations, this is not movement in a circle but rather an alternation of compression and rarefaction. In time, there are no directions like up-down, left-right, no density of matter, temperature, or color. What, then, can condense and dissolve? We have already spoken about fractality as the similarity of small parts and a larger whole. Fractality has levels of complexity. For example, the simplest level is a tree in winter—a black outline of the trunk against white snow. The most complex level comes in summer when it is a curly, multicolored mass, where there is a trunk, branches, and thousands of leaves, the veins of each reflecting the trunk and branches. Or, in the beginning, there was a seed, and then it grew into a huge tree, on which thousands of similar seeds ripen. In each cycle, there are several stages of complication, evolution, and then several stages of returning to the beginning. One could say that in time, there is a sequential change of states "inside-outside" from a smaller whole to a larger one. This transition marks the boundary of consciousness. In time practices, we cannot speak of chakras, movements of qi along certain orbits, or body postures. In time, we can experience a sequence of emotional states simultaneously with all the cells of our body, and not only our body but everything that surrounds it in sensations.

Time Meditation

We do not focus on any particular point; we are in the whole body simultaneously. We pass through a sequence of states in a circle. The body is completely relaxed. We do not accompany the changes with body movements. Only emotions and sensations.

1. Emptiness. Dissolution. I am not here. I am nowhere and everywhere. I have the freedom to choose any path.

2. Love. I am here. I am curious about this world. I accept this world. It is very tasty. It caresses me with streams of tenderness and affection.

3. Joy. There are many kind people around. They warm me with their soulful warmth.

4. Beauty. I admire the beauty of this world—flowers, forests, sparkling snow, the multicolored shimmer of stars.

5. Joy. My heart is open. I embrace everyone.

6. Love. I thank this world. My tenderness knows no bounds. I love you.

7. Emptiness. I have gained invaluable experience. It was amazing. I can rest a little now. Good bye! Now I will be a part of all of you.

You can pass through this circle with breathing: ascending on a slow inhale, enjoying the beauty, descending on a long exhale, resting in emptiness. It is preferable to have silence and a beautiful landscape around. The air should be fresh and delightful.

The Soul

Just as a beautiful flower creates its fragrant petals from the earth and the byproducts of life, so does a person construct their complex being from elements scattered around. The soul is typically made up of several fragments from other souls, including those of the deceased. Many facts support this. One of the most studied by medicine is the existence of schizophrenia. Additionally, experiences under hypnosis that involve returning to the past often revive memories of different personalities that might have lived at the same time, not necessarily one after the other. In everyday life, we often see drunk people, where part of the personality is temporarily replaced by another. Of course, we must also mention the phenomenon of possession, where there is literally a struggle for the body.

Let’s try to understand this. Let’s start with the definition of the soul.

The soul is one of the various forms of life, a living structure, an intelligent organism capable of controlling the mind, desires, and the body of a person.

The soul has its own instincts for self-preservation and reproduction. Its aspirations often contradict the innate instincts of the body. Its existence is such that it cannot survive long without being connected to the body. It is the contact with the body that maintains its integrity and preserves its structure. Among the well-known parallels for this symbiosis, we can mention the relationship between a horse and a rider, or a people and its ruler. This connection is usually mutually beneficial. The rider takes care of the horse, giving its life purpose and meaning. The people need a ruler who leads, organizes, protects, and develops them. The cases of possession can be compared to a parasite that doesn’t care for the body of its host but exploits it for its own purposes.

The crucial factor in determining what happens to the soul after death is its integrity. For some time, cleansing from the unnecessary and accidental occurs, but the core remains. In a fortunate case, the soul merges with a newly created body resulting from conception, and we have the case of reincarnation described in Hinduism. It may wait for a long time if no suitable body appears, and this state can conditionally be called heaven or hell, as described by Christians and Muslims. After some time, the soul inevitably begins to fragment into pieces.

Sometimes the genes of both father and mother harmoniously combine, creating a healthy, complete body. This happens when the two families share similar aspirations and there is genuine mutual love. In this case, the most likely outcome is the acquisition of an intact soul.

The bearer of such a soul will have enormous intuition, inherent wisdom, and experience far exceeding the abilities of others. However, in life, genetic incompatibility is often encountered, such as when people marry for convenience or when conception happens accidentally or under the influence of alcohol. In this case, the soul is assembled from fragments, sometimes many, in accordance with conflicting desires coming from different ancestors. This is exactly where we encounter the fragmentation of the soul, schizophrenia, and the prerequisites for possession. If the soul is literally made of shards, we arrive at the Buddha’s teaching, which says that the soul is a one-time, unique collection of elements from the universe that after death disperse in different directions. This thought is also close to atheists who completely deny the existence of the soul and do not recognize an afterlife. Different concepts of the soul are merely different degrees of understanding its integrity. What is the Truth? You touch the truth when you realize that everyone is right.

Practice of the Soul

If you do not want to completely disappear after death, daily work on yourself is necessary. The goal of the practice is to achieve inner integrity. You must do, during your life, what awaits you after death. Understand what is most important and harmonious within you. Find the foundation. The principles that apply equally across all areas of life. Remove the superficial, the things you have heard somewhere, that contradict these principles. Eliminate everything unnecessary. Be yourself. This is the feeling of purpose. Whole people do not change their principles even in the face of death, and by doing so, they preserve their soul. The test happens through power, money, food, sex, fear—temptations and threats. The most terrible betrayal is betrayal of one's own soul. The best practice here is to do your favorite thing well every day.

Heart

Animals such as horses and dogs are tamad through the heart. If you use physical violence, it only causes fear and exasperation. It is equally pointless to impose your will through words or mental commands. A horse does not understand words and is unable to perceive thoughts. Your desire must be emotional. You need to love the horse, accept it as it is, and then it will willingly accept a part of your soul as its guide. In the Adyghe language, "horse" and "brother" are the same word.

Do you remember your favorite teacher at school? The class you enjoyed attending? A part of their soul has stayed with you for life. What was their secret? Their work was not simply reciting a textbook. They scolded, but they were forgiven. They didn’t use brute force, but neither were they distant or too intellectual. They were warm, soulful, often naive like a child. They were very attentive to everyone. It was not their mind or body that spoke to you. It was the manifistation of their heart.

The heart, as the core of the human soul, possesses immense power of suggestion and persuasion. It inspires and leads. It subjugates your mind and feelings, and the body is already willing to do any work under its guidance.

Humans, many animals, and birds have a subtle structure within their bodies through which they connect with the soul. Not always their own.

Spirit

The time has come to take a step beyond time. The difference between obsession and spiritual connection is that in obsession, the soul is completely pushed aside, displaced, and the person does not remember who they are. In the second case, the soul remains but consciously submits itself to God, acting as a mediator between the Spirit and the body. God in sensations is the Master, Creator, Father, and Mother—a warm, living, emotional being who guides your soul, directs, protects, provides, and nourishes. What is required of you is work in your place, development, learning, and maintaining your health. The awareness of being a useful part of a greater whole. This gives meaning to life and a sense of happiness. Happiness as co-Participation. Consciousness as co-Knowledge. "God is Love" means that He loves, understands, and accepts everyone, without distinctions in language or skin color, accepting the importance and usefulness of every living being in the greater cosmic work. If God is a tribal spirit, it leads to wars. The true way to avoid wars is to admit the Earth as a common home, a shared forest under the Moon, the Sun as a common source of warmth, and the Sky as a shared homeland.

Every nation has its spiritual hierarchies. There are people whose consciousness is broader than narrow national interests. And they receive their spiritual support from above. Not necessarily in their own church. It comes in sensations. Anywhere, without rituals, without priests. The desire generates a response.

Beyond Time

The circle of states has disappeared. The past and the future are here and now. You can know everything. Everything you can contain. Enter this point. Be in it. Enjoy the unity with the great living, sparkling with multicolored diamonds, a starry sky
