Esotericism is the path of personal self-development. Sometimes people strive to lead everyone around them, to teach and guide, while it is important to strive to be the master and master of their own life, and not someone else’s. It is extremely difficult and deeply wrong to insert yourself into the life of another person and explain to him how he should live.
Every person is a mystery, this whole universe that needs to be respected and accepted as it is. If communicating with someone becomes unbearable for you, just walk away.
Esotericism and self-knowledge
It is not possible to change the past, it is only possible to rethink it. All events of the past are a series of lessons that sometimes you did everything right, and sometimes you made mistakes.
It is important to remember that at the time of making a decision you are always right. You started a family, and then a divorce happened. You created a company that began to produce an uncompetitive product and you went bankrupt. You sent as part of a religious community, and then it turned out that they were scammers. You went to study at the institute, and then realized that this profession is not at all interesting to you.
In any case, at the time of making the decision you were right, because based on the level of your information at that time, in accordance with the level of your understanding of life at that time, you made the only possible decision for yourself.
Stop reproaching and blaming yourself. Blaming yourself is as stupid as blaming the people around you. If you blame other people and circumstances for your problems, then you are afraid to take responsibility. If you blame yourself, then you are not recognizing the God who lives in your heart. In any case, by blaming yourself or others, you block your development.
A few years later, after starting a family or starting a business project, you realized that this was not the right decision. First of all, get out of this situation as quickly as possible, because the longer you are in a situation that is wrong for you, the more you lose energy, money and time.
As soon as you realize that you once made a mistake, look for ways out of this situation as quickly as possible, learn from your mistake and move on in life.
The esotericism of relationships and the harmonization of family life is an important part of esoteric practices. The deeper you begin to understand your inner world, the more you will be able to build balanced relationships in your family. Of course, it is always ideal if a husband and wife practice self-knowledge and self-improvement, meditation and yoga, together.
Esoterics and society, these relationships are built in the sphere of a correct understanding of life in general. A properly developing person strives to build his life at all levels and in all aspects of his life: spiritual self-improvement and material well-being, family happiness and good health. That is why a correctly developing esotericist demonstrates harmony in everything in his life.
First stage - Duality
It involves getting rid of dualities.
Duality is the duality of judgments in your mind. Building an understanding of life on two opposing concepts. For example: good and bad, good and evil, love and hate. Each person in the process of life has accepted his own set of opposites and this prevents him from seeing all the versatility of life and the endless number of possibilities. You have set restrictions for yourself: to get married or not to get married, to get a higher education or not, etc.
In practice, you need to work through the dualities that are relevant to you and expand your own boundaries of self-knowledge. How to do it?
Answer the following questions:
- What is important to me?
- What do I want?
- What am I afraid of?
- What's bothering me?
- What do I want to change in my life?
- What do I think about myself?
- What do I think about others?
- What do I think about my own life?
- What do I think about the past?
When answering these questions, you will only see one side of the answer. For each answer you need to choose the opposite. For example, it is important for me to be healthy. This means that I don't want to be sick.
Both sides of the duality should cause a response in you, you should feel how you feel with both statements. Next, from the list, select exactly what worries you most at the moment and begin to work through it.
Processing techniques
- Alternately create and hold in attention two types of poles of the problem . For example, create a thought in your head that you have opened your own successful business and there is no doubt about it. Imagine yourself in this role, visualize this picture and try not to let go as long as possible. Now imagine that you haven’t opened your own business. Look what you are like now. What qualities are behind this uncertainty and unfulfillment? Look your fears in the face, at your slumped shoulders and dull gaze. Now mentally return to the first state again. You are successful again and have done what you have long dreamed of. And back. Work through this duality 5-6 times.
- If it is difficult for you to visualize the two poles, then simply alternately create a thought in your head about the duality that is relevant to you .
- The third method involves writing down the two poles on a piece of paper . For example, under the “I am unique” column we write everything we think and feel about this. Describe the same thing under the dual column “I’m like everyone else.” Write until you have written down everything that comes to mind.
With the help of these techniques, you can understand what you really want and what is stopping you on the path to self-knowledge and achieving your goals.
With these methods you can change any situation in your life and your attitude towards it. A person who has an accident and loses his arm suffers from this. But he can be happy that he is alive. You can find something positive in any situation.
Esoterics of life
Gratitude is completeness. It is not possible to change the past, but it is possible and needs to be rethought, only then can you move on without endlessly turning back. Depressed people constantly live in crises, failures, conflicts and mistakes of the past. Analyze, realize, rethink and learn from the past and move, move into the future.
You cannot be the master of another person because the consciousness, soul, intellect and mind of another person are something immaterial. You can control the body of another person, his movements, actions, but it is impossible to control his inner world.
Nowadays, technologies for manipulating consciousness are constantly being improved, they are becoming more subtle and sophisticated. In parallel with this, methods of self-development, self-improvement, and meditation are being developed that provide inner freedom. This also reveals the struggle between good and evil.
Benefits and harms
The most obvious point of any spiritual enlightenment is the ability to reason about the world beyond the framework of generally accepted theories. After a person understands that the thinking paradigm rested on illusory boundaries, his views on the world change. He forms an opinion based on his own understanding of life, without relying on established rules.
However, there is also a negative side to the issue. You can blindly accept on faith all knowledge that goes against science. Not all of them have a basis - there is a risk of running into charlatans who promote false teachings among gullible people.
There are great chances to encounter misunderstandings from others. Not everyone is ready to put up with a dissident person next to them. This is especially disadvantageous from the position of power - a view of life that goes beyond the framework of the system is most often unpredictable and carries a threat. Therefore, fortitude and willingness to fight are qualities necessary for esoteric practices.
Esotericism is the essence
At the level of interpersonal relationships, business, friendships, stop trying to control and manipulate other people, it will only confuse you.
Try to become a master and master of your life, rethink your past, feel gratitude for the events of bygone days. Think about the meaning of your life, about what your mission is in this beautiful universe. Perhaps the word mission sounds too global, but I would still risk pronouncing this big word.
You and only you have power over your thoughts and feelings, you control and distribute your time. By becoming conscious, with clear goals and priorities, you have the opportunity to continue building your beautiful and harmonious life.
The beginning of the path of self-discovery
The initial stage of self-knowledge is the ability to hear yourself, your inner voice.
This is an important skill, without which it is impossible to know your deepest feelings and aspirations. When thoughts appear in your head, you need to sort them: what kind of thoughts they are and who they belong to. Often people are visited by thoughts imposed by other people's opinions and life experiences, which have nothing to do with reality. You should also listen to your feelings. You need to ask yourself the question: how do I feel at this moment - good or bad? Sometimes the human ego interferes with such a process and dictates incorrect answers. The ego is a mechanism that protects a person from everything new and incomprehensible. Through the prism of our own ego, we perceive the surrounding reality. Ego is everything that is imposed from the outside, the experience that we receive throughout life.
Our ego looks at everything from the perspective of fashion, prestige, social approval and recognition. It prevents you from hearing the voice of your own soul and understanding its desires. To learn to listen to your own feelings, you can do a simple exercise. When going for a walk, you should choose your own route, based on your own feelings. If your inner voice says to turn left, then you need to do it. If along the way there is a feeling that you need to change the route, this desire must be fulfilled.
At the same time, a person can notice how pleasant things begin to happen: the light turns green, the right transport arrives on time, a passerby smiles, all the doors on the way open. This happens because a person chooses a path based on his feelings. This helps develop intuition.
Meditation practice
Why should you practice meditation? The answer is very simple, we have already discussed this topic, but it is so important that it is very useful to be reminded of it as often as possible.
The first questions on the path to success are: who sets the goals? Who strives for success? What picture and image of success do you personally have? These are all important questions. You have two choices: the wisdom of the soul or the ignorance of the ego.
It is meditation that will ensure you are on the right path. If goals are set by a wise soul, then you will move along the path of happiness and self-realization. However, if the ignorant ego comes into play, then the constructed system of goals will be false and will lead you to a dead end, disappointment and depression.
The soul, as the basis for building goals, pays attention to happiness, creativity, love, joy. Therefore, when building goals based on the wisdom of your soul, you will set goals for yourself, and immediately ask yourself: will this make me a deeply happy person? Will this bring me joy and harmony?
By building goals based on ego, you will ask primitive questions: How can I get more power and money? It is obvious that such an approach leads to suffering, fear, and stress. Only one who practices meditation can find this subtle but crucial difference between the soul and the ego.
Features, what is it esotericism or the work of the brain
To get answers to a burning question, you should work completely alone.
It is important to come to the understanding that much is still hidden from our understanding of the world, the universe, and we must strive with pleasure to understand this world, not only considering it within the usual framework of society, religions, system and money.
For “nihilists,” it’s good to start this exercise with their favorite phrases: “Life has no purpose for anyone” or “I have no goals in this life.”
Don't ask those who have gone through this technique how effective it is or how it works. Everyone who successfully completes the exercise will have their own answer, filtered through the prism of their personality, their beliefs and convictions.
Clear Goal System
We also talked about this in detail in previous lessons. The most ancient knowledge indicates that building a positive intention, a system of goals and priorities according to the Chakras is the most perfect way to build goals.
Chakras, energy-informational points of the head and spine, describe all aspects of your life: spiritual evolution, working with information, leadership and teamwork, intellectual sphere, creative self-realization, financial well-being, family happiness, excellent health.
Commentary of the greats
Reality and all its variations are limitless. Immersion in secret knowledge about this is a fascinating process that completely changes the attitude towards the world. With the ability to change your life and those around you, you can grow as a person and reach heights that previously seemed unattainable. The changes will not necessarily concern the material world. Much more important is a revolution in thinking and an unclouded view of the world in all its beauty and diversity. Having realized the infinity of your capabilities, you can comprehend and improve them throughout your life. It is important to remember that the balance of power in the Universe is always stable, and only good deeds will bring the desired happiness and goodness.
Resource planning and analysis
The planning stage is extremely important; it is the most important intermediate link between goals and the implementation of systemic actions.
When going on a trip, you probably first collect information about the place where you are going. When investing in a new project, it is obvious that it is necessary to collect information, assess potential risks and possible profits, and consult with a financial expert.
The saying goes that one hour of planning will save you ten hours of wasted activity. Planning also helps to understand and analyze resources, which we will talk about a little later. Essentially, there are an endless amount of resources and opportunities around you, but sometimes you may not notice them.
Planning concerns absolutely all aspects of life: spiritual development, creative projects, financial growth, self-education and advanced training, family development.
A classic example of planning is building a house. First there must be a project, and then an estimate and budget, planning the timing and pace of construction. It is impossible to start building a house without a serious project and preliminary planning of the process.
It is impossible to create a perfect plan, life constantly adjusts the circumstances of life, but it is still better to get involved in the thick of events with a preliminary plan and understanding of the situation.

About the meaning of silence. Meditation my grandmother taught me
Women, our asceticism is not to get up early or toughen up! Our asceticism is to be in silence. In Rumi, remember: silence is the language of God, and everything else is a bad translation.
