Entering Tomorrow: Stages of Humility and Cultivation

If there are more people who, in any situation, are ready to perceive the Divine will, the forthcoming purification of our souls will not spell doom for our civilization but salvation.

Every person thinks in images, stereotypes. Many believe that humility means total passivity and not resisting evil. In reality, humility is the absence of hatred and resentment; it is an internal non-resistance to evil. After all, both evil and good come from God.

Many, after reading my books, tried to accept traumatic situations. They curbed internal hatred, resentment, and judgment but also stopped taking external actions. Stopping hatred and resentment is the first stage in educating another person. Someone who is hated cannot change their behavior. It is hard to change when you are being annihilated. So, the first stage is removing grievances and aggression.

The second stage is exploring options to help a person change. This could be through a sincere conversation, encouragement, or punishment. But it always involves helping another person change their behavior. It is pointless to be offended by a child if they are misbehaving—it's foolish and harmful. You cannot be resentful towards a child; you need to discipline them.

Punishment is assistance in change, affecting both physical and spiritual aspects. Punishment entails the humiliation of instincts to revive the soul. After all, it is the child driven by instincts who misbehaves. Punishment can be replaced with sincere conversation, encouragement, love. The better we learn to assist a child's soul, the less we will need to discipline them.

The same applies to adults. One can hate and seek revenge for improper behavior, or one can show a person how to behave correctly and nudge them in that direction.

The main direction in education is to assist in the development of the soul. If you have learned to love, you can help others in this too. Then, punishment, like illness, becomes unnecessary.

Many people have the stereotype that pride is cured by humility. But under humility, they understand self-degradation. What is the essence of pride? That the instinct for self-preservation is more important than love. Thus, by demeaning ourselves, we can never defeat pride. However, if love becomes more significant to us than power, money, abilities, and a bright future, if for love's sake we can renounce all these goods, then that is victory. Thus, humility is the subduing of instincts in favor of love.

In lectures and seminars, I talked about how from the year 2000, a process of purifying souls on a planetary scale would begin. For descendants to be born, souls need to be purified. Purification occurs as a destabilization or temporary loss of basic human values. Subconsciously, a person reacts to the humiliation of higher feelings just as they did in the past to humiliation on an external level. Hatred, jealousy, resentment, despair are triggered. It turns out that for most people, instead of prompting love and a turn to God, soul purification will trigger a subconscious protest, hatred, and a self-destruction program. Therefore, the salvation of the soul for many will turn into misfortune, disease, and death of the body.

Once, waking up early in the morning, I felt some heaviness in my soul. I looked at myself on a subtle level and found a whole package of aggressive emotions—there was condemnation, jealousy, hatred, and despair. This was how my soul reacted to the cleansing that began in the early morning.

«Why does so much 'dirt' come out in the early morning hours?» I wondered, and suddenly understood the reason.

Every person's subconscious cleansing is activated at the beginning of the energy rise and at its decline. Energy starts to increase at 4 a.m., and cleansing begins immediately. If passed correctly, maintaining love, instead of illness, health will appear. Therefore, morning prayer before sunrise allows a person to avoid future problems—illnesses, misfortunes—about which they currently have no idea. The next upheaval occurs around 6-7 p.m., that is, on average, before sunset. Prayer at this time also helps purify the soul. The same goes for the seasons.

The activation of spiritual energy begins in February, reaching its peak in April. The minimum energy level occurs in August, September, and early October. Then its growth begins.

I never intended to tie prayer to any schedule. Just suddenly, the necessity of morning and evening prayer became clear. It turns out, it's not only a chance to feel love for God and become happy—it's a real opportunity to strengthen one's health and improve fate. Logically, the cleaner the soul, the more energy is released for improving fate and physical health. From these observations, I came to a very important conclusion.

A person who is accustomed to seeing the presence of God in everything will accept any situation, maintaining love and not looking for culprits. Such a person may pass the purification of the soul by inertia, even unaware of it.

If a person understands that their main enemy is imperfection and inability to love, then any situation, instead of causing them resentment, hatred, and despair, will push them towards God.

If there are more and more such people, then the forthcoming purification of souls will turn out for our civilization not as a catastrophe, but as salvation and an opportunity to enter tomorrow.
