Youth is coming back - you just have to seize the moment!

The most ancient esoteric teachings say that human life is divided into cycles or periods. Each lasts seven years and represents our entire age “in miniature”: from infancy to old age. Having lived a whole life during this time, a person enters a new stage - and everything repeats all over again. Thus, the periods of childhood, adolescence, youth, growing up, maturity, old age, and decline occur every seven years. It is important to take into account their influence on a person’s life and activity, so as not to grab onto matters “in childhood” that only those who are experiencing another “maturity” can solve.

For a long time, beliefs about the seven-year cycle of human life seemed to people like empty fairy tales, but modern science has proven that in about seven years the cells of our body are completely renewed - and the next life cycle begins. This means that the Teachers of antiquity were right, who believed that a person is born, grows up and dies several times within the framework of one earthly life - and exactly that many times he gets the opportunity to experience youth, renew his life, experience childhood, maturity, and fading. And, of course, be convinced from your own experience that death is always followed by rebirth, that there is no end to the path - there is only the completion of the next stage, a pause before a new ascent.

How are the “ages” distributed in our seven-year plan? Traditionally they are presented as follows. The first two years correspond to childhood and adolescence, the next two are youth and growing up, two more are maturity and old age, and finally, the last year corresponds to extinction and rebirth. And each age opens up its own prospects for a person, gives its own opportunities.

Young green

So, the years of childhood and adolescence are a time of accomplishment. During this period, a person feels that he can handle anything, he is able to move mountains. And it is true! The blood is boiling, the strength is flowing through the veins, but wisdom and foresight are not enough: after all, “in this life” you have not yet accumulated it, “this life” is just beginning. If at the previous stage, during the years of “old age” that has just ended, you thought about the future, made plans, developed projects - great, in “childhood” and “youth” you will be able to bring them to life. If at the last stage of the previous seven-year period a person succumbed to melancholy and depression, and there is no basis for the beginning of a new period, then there is no point in rushing into adventures. Travel, study, master new professions and areas of activity, start novels - and no one will say that another “youth” was in vain. In the first two years of the seven-year plan, you should not make important responsible decisions: change jobs, get married or break off family relationships. You should also not plan to have children at this age: parents who are themselves in the period of “childhood” will not soon be able to establish proper relationships with their children. Rather, I want to play “mother and daughter” than to seriously engage in the upbringing and development of the child.

Certificate of maturity

The next two years of the cycle, “youth and growing up,” are marked by active spiritual growth. During this period, a person faces the need to make a certain life choice: to understand his path at a new level, to rethink relationships with friends and loved ones, and to reconsider key life principles. In general, remember yourself at the age of 24-25 - and it will immediately become clear to you why, at 38-39 years old, you again have to think about the meaning of life, about God and about your purpose, why the relationship with your husband or wife, which just yesterday you considered normal, suddenly seemed insipid, emasculated, devoid of content. At the second stage of the seven-year cycle, you need to confirm your life choice or decide to take a new path. If you are sure that your marriage has exhausted itself, now is the time to decide on divorce: there is still a little “youth” and “maturity” ahead - periods destined by fate itself for choosing a partner. And loneliness at this age is usually only beneficial. Likewise, those who are dissatisfied with their jobs should look for a new job at this time. You can move to another apartment, but you shouldn’t build your own house (even if it’s just a summer cottage) for now: youth does not tend to become attached to the land, settling down is contraindicated for it.

Youth policy in national projects

In Russia, until 2024 it is planned to implement the national project “Education” with a total budget of 784.5 billion rubles. It includes the federal project “Young Professionals”, within the framework of which the modernization of vocational education is carried out through the introduction of adaptive, practice-oriented and flexible educational programs. 156.3 billion are allocated for these purposes. By 2024, it is planned to create a network of 100 advanced vocational training centers and 500 workshops with modern equipment.

At the zenith

The next two years of the seven-year cycle are the years of “maturity.” By this point, a person has accumulated enough wisdom to solve the most important problems in life, and there is a lot of strength for accomplishments. In general, it is possible and necessary to begin implementing large-scale projects – those that were conceived at the previous stage, in “youth”. The main condition for success in this period: stop rushing about, “put down roots” where fate has led you. You shouldn’t get a divorce or change jobs, but for bachelors who feel the need to start a family, it’s time to visit the registry office. Likewise, those who have spent the previous two years searching for a more promising field of activity can safely accept offers from employers. It's time to give birth to children: from the very first days, the baby and parents, who are at the age of “maturity,” will establish correct, harmonious relationships. This period is optimal for starting to build your own home: after all, right now you perfectly understand what you want from life, which means you have a good idea of ​​what your home should be like - a home in which you will feel warm and comfortable , and to your loved ones. At the time of “maturity”, people do not come up with new projects as often as in the previous two years, but they do not build castles in the air. These are the most creative years, when any idea is original and can be implemented.

Old age and maturity - there is a difference here.

Many people are mistaken in thinking that maturity comes only with old age, and old age with maturity.

However, these are completely two different concepts, which, perhaps, previously had something in common, but in modern society they are far from each other.

Old age is the number of years you have lived. You can’t argue with nature, you can’t deceive, sooner or later any living body ages and dies.

All creatures are susceptible to old age: people, animals, plants. As for maturity, it presupposes a wise approach to life, peace and tranquility, an objective attitude to what is happening, as well as a desire to share everything that one has.

The fact that every old man has lived for many years does not mean that he has good and rich experience, that he wants to give everything to others without demanding anything in return, and to be a wise old man, and not a child in an old body.

If you still believe in the inseparability of old age and maturity of a person, then try to offend any sixty-year-old man. Don't be afraid, try this as an experiment.

In a few seconds you will see that the person talking to you is an elderly man in appearance, but who is still a child at heart.

Any of us aged is capable of the same insults and criticism as other younger people. However, only a person's maturity determines his reaction to an offensive expression or situation.

A mature person will look at the situation objectively, may say something, but not in an offensive way, and then turn around and walk away with a calm step. Since maturity does not depend on old age or the age of a person.

You can observe a fairly young girl of about ten years old, but when she talks to you, you get the feeling that an adult woman of about 35-40 years old is standing in front of you.

Now look around you and you will see that most of the older men and women are far from mature. In fact, they have not yet grown up: only their bodies have aged, and their souls are stuck in some past age. And often this age ranges from six to eighteen years. What kind of maturity can we talk about?

The reason for the immaturity of many is that they wear so-called masks. However, here we will be talking not just about those masks that they put on in order to appear good and pleasant to other people, but about those that they wear without taking them off.

They often put on these masks in childhood, when parents want to see not the child as he is, but a “future musician,” “a strong man,” “a beautiful woman.” The child's fragile psyche breaks down, and he takes on the role of someone he most likely did not want to be.

However, such a mask is very difficult to remove, because then only you will remain - and often people are not happy with being just themselves.

Maturity cannot come until you are yourself. This is false. And you can change masks, but never reach maturity. However, do not forget that your body is slowly aging.

If your favorite expression is: “What do you understand, I’ve lived longer than you” or “You’re too young to tell me” - get rid of them, because you won’t gain maturity with such words.

Only a wise person understands that even a newly born baby can teach him more than he could ever imagine. Even animals, even plants can show a person some of their truths, which he would never hear from people, would never read in books.

Therefore, throw away your stupid beliefs that an old person means a mature person. It is impossible to put an equal sign between old age and maturity, because old age is a physiological process, and maturity is a spiritual one.

One day, Socrates uttered a wise phrase: “I know that I know nothing.” This shows his maturity . At the very end of his life, old age , he said with dignity: “I know nothing”

silver Age

Of course, by the end of the age of “maturity” your head will not be covered with threads of gray hair, but get ready: you will have to “grow old” in a sense. Usually the last six to eight months of the period occur at this age, and they require special behavior and a special attitude towards life. This is a very important time, try not to miss it! Usually “old age” is felt as a loss of strength: it seems that only yesterday you were cheerful and energetic, but today you want to lie down, cover yourself with a blanket and take a peaceful nap... Don’t contradict yourself, listen to your body’s prompts. Now there is no point in changing anything in life: perhaps, under the influence of emotions, you are ready to turn everything upside down, but you no longer have enough strength to “fit” into a new life plot - to build a relationship with a new lover, to prove yourself in a new job. The period of “old age” is not for action, but for reflection. The time has come to make plans for the future, to hatch new projects - without worrying that the time for them will not come soon, in a year and a half or two. Let it be: the main thing is that you think through and calculate everything now - after all, this is how you pave your way into the future! Remember: there is a new “childhood” and a new “youth” ahead, when again you will feel a surge of vitality, but you are unlikely to be able to make informed decisions.

Childhood

When everything around is surprising, but nothing is surprising, this is childhood. Antoine de Rivarol Childhood: a wonderful time of life when all you have to do to lose weight is take a bath. Richard Zehra Children are angels whose wings shorten as their arms and legs grow. Jean La Bruyère There is a period in the life of every teenager when he cannot understand: how could such stupid parents give birth to such a smart boy? Glen Fry

When “maturity” and “old age” are passed, we move to a new stage: we enter the age of “fading.” Don’t be afraid, remember: you experienced the same “fading” at the age of seven, fourteen, twenty-one... As you can see, it’s okay! Of course, provided that you do not succumb to the pessimism that is characteristic of this period. Yes, it can be difficult at times. Life potential is at a minimum, new ideas and fresh thoughts rarely enter your head, relationships that recently filled your life with meaning, excited your soul and heart, only warm you a little... Well, this is the feature of this most important period. Now it is contraindicated not only to take on new things, but also to dream about the future. Our task in this last year of the seven-year plan is to analyze the past as deeply and completely as possible, especially everything that happened in the last life cycle. Learn all the lessons, understand where mistakes were made, what mistakes were made. Only then will the next life cycle allow you to rise to a new stage of your development, step to a new level. The main thing is to remember: “extinction” is a necessary stage before “rebirth”; in order to be reborn, you must certainly complete the previous life cycle. Re-read the legends about the Phoenix bird: when reaching old age, the Phoenix burned to the ground - and was reborn again as a chick. Let the fire destroy everything that has become obsolete, so that you can enter a new “childhood” cleansed from the sins of the past!

Major life cycle event

At each age stage, its correspondence to itself is observed: childhood of childhood, adolescence of adolescence, youth of youth, maturity of maturity, old age of old age. Two of them - childhood, childhood and old age - are adjacent to the beginning and end of life, set by the time of birth and death. And the other three represent the central axes around which our existence seems to revolve.

Adolescence (age 13) is the time of gender awakening, when a person becomes capable of procreation. This is also the age of awakening self-awareness, acute and sometimes painful self-reflection - about the external and internal personality, about one’s place and purpose in the world.

The youth of youth, the first half of the 20s, is the age most suitable for marriage and the birth of first children, as well as the age of professional self-determination, the completion of the apprenticeship cycle, when we become independent and begin to provide for our own lives.

Adulthood, from the mid-40s to the mid-50s, is the age of perfection, the time of highest professional achievement, when we are already able to determine our place in society and in the memory of future generations.
