When I finished my fourth book in 1997, I was confident that the process of describing human values was complete. As much as I understand everything that is called human happiness, it becomes easier for me to determine what I started to deify, what I became dependent on, and then how to overcome that dependence. The classification was fully completed. So, there would be no more hooks. That means I could make myself and my children healthy. In other words, karmic research could be concluded. To help each patient recover, it was only necessary to more thoroughly investigate what prevents the patient from overcoming their dependency on something and find a more powerful means of changing their character.
The theory was finished, only the practice remained. I gradually began to cool off to this whole topic. Firstly, everything was already clear, and secondly, I never thought that the process of thinking could cause disgust and physical pain. I wanted to feel, to return to painting. Then I wanted to deal with the problem of aging.
Self-improvement over these years has changed a lot in my character and health. But there was no rejuvenation at all, rather the opposite. The more I focused on thoughts, on understanding and generalizing, the more painfully I experienced any stress, and the processes of aging became more active. I decided to step away from research and treatment and focus on myself because I hadn't had time for that before. The whole chain of human values was reduced to a few links. The first link is material values. That's clear. Then there were layers of spiritual values. All spiritual values were divided into two branches, so to speak. One layer is relationships. Dependency on them led to jealousy. On the other hand, there is the ability and intellect. Dependency on them gave birth to pride. One patient came with a pronounced dependence on the spiritual plane, and it concerned the topic of relationships. I explained how to overcome this dependency. You just need to find another point of support. Modern psychology suggests that a person should develop their interests. Then the collapse in one area is not so painful, and a person shifts their interests to other areas.
But this scheme works only at a superficial level. In the case of offenses, quarrels, infidelity. But when it comes to major shocks, the death of a loved one, for example, psychologists and psychotherapists themselves cannot overcome it. Only turning to God leads them out of a hopeless impasse. And the stronger our need for Divine love, the less we depend on human love. Its destruction or destabilization does not become a tragedy. From my point of view, a person has only two main functions - to continue oneself and to preserve oneself. This theme is related to relationships. And developing oneself, one's capabilities, managing the surrounding world - this is the theme of ability and intellect. We cannot live without it. But when it becomes an end in itself, dependence arises first, then aggression, and then disintegration. So, human values are a combination of material and spiritual.
I needed to achieve the quickest possible liberation from both material and spiritual values. The more I concentrated on this, the faster time seemed to accelerate, and at some point of acceleration, I saw how the dependence on one thing shifted into dependence on another. And a person, externally focused on money, materialism, and pragmatism, becomes that way because internally, they are an intense idealist. Further intensification of dependence on spiritual aspects becomes fatally dangerous for them. Then it turned out that a person who has overcome jealousy subconsciously shifts their point of support not to love for God but to abilities and intellect. And instead of the vanished jealousy, real pride appears. At some point, I realized that besides these stages, layers of human existence, there are even more extensive and profound ones. Ultimately, I arrived at a category known as ideals, spirituality, nobility. This was a much finer and more extensive layer. It underlies both relationships and abilities. Dependency on this layer led to dependence on relationships or abilities. If this dependency was very strong, jealousy and pride in a person would flare up simultaneously. The theme of spirituality, nobility, ideals, and hopes was simultaneously the theme of contact with the future. The higher a person's spiritual level, the more elevated and noble they are, the more they dream, the greater their abilities to control the future are revealed. The past is material; the future is spiritual. The more future there is within us, the more present and past we have. The more spiritual and noble a person is, the more actively, sooner or later, their abilities and intellect will manifest in them or in their grandchildren. The richer and more harmonious their relationships will be. Everything we have comes from the future and turns into the present, so the degree of inner spirituality determines our capabilities in the present. The more spirituality and nobility a person has, the more their descendants will have not only spiritual but also material values. And even if children and grandchildren stop being spiritual and noble, their inner reserves will allow them to live relatively well for some time.
Why do descendants often reject spirituality and nobility? Because the deification of the future generates dependence on it, and then its loss. With a closed future, a person either dies or acquires an incurable disease. And the higher a person's spirituality, the more they are tempted to pray for that spirituality and depend on it.
The first signs of dependence manifest as fear for one's future and the future of loved ones. Fixation on plans and dreams. Then, through painful non-acceptance of the fluctuations of the future, when plans and hopes are not fulfilled, when the imagined picture of the world proves to be inadequate. Inability to accept the collapse of ideals, the disintegration of plans and hopes. Betrayal or injustice from people or society is an indicator of the strongest dependence on the future, and then both fate and health fall apart.
In November 1991, I met the future editor and publisher of my first book. By June 1993, the book was written. And since it deals with the Divine, and the information is very serious and powerful, the book had to be pure. Going through the process of dying and bidding farewell to everything dear, and ultimately to life itself, allowed me to put myself in order and cleanse my soul.
So, the circle of values has been described. The system is complete. In principle, the causes of any illness can be eliminated if the dependence on all links of human existence is removed. Now, based on the system, I needed to completely put myself in order. Although, to be honest, I never had a feeling of complete satisfaction. But with each unfamiliar case during the consultations, new facts for understanding would emerge, providing an opportunity to move forward. By the way, once my friends asked me:
«Can the human soul be deified?»
«To be honest, I don't know», I replied, «But if we reason logically, then a significant part of our soul, which is not eternal, exists in space and time, so it can also be an object of deification».
But in my system, there was no such concept, and I was left to just shrug my shoulders.
There was another strange fact in my research. It was related to the future. For some reason, the parameter of the future behaved unstably. In principle, if there is no dependence on life, well-being, and will, there should be no attachment to the future, i.e., principles, dreams, ideals, and subsequent relationships or abilities, not to mention material values. Nevertheless, I occasionally encountered patients with all normal parameters except for the parameter of the future. There was something else connected to the theme of the future, something that fueled it. If I didn't understand where the destabilization of this parameter was coming from, it meant I didn't see other profound causes that could lead to illness, and in a complex situation, I could become helpless. On one hand, I understood this, but on the other hand, I had no strength. After all, all the changes and deformations of field structures that I see don't mean anything by themselves. The main thing is to generalize them, to bring them into a system. It requires a lot of subtle energy. And here, my fame and growing financial well-being were becoming increasingly dangerous. I didn't realize before how much energy shopping, household chores, and so on consume. All of this requires constant control over the situation. I had never worked in such a mode before. It was an obvious overload for me. Moreover, every book I wrote was aimed at correcting the described situation. The first book emerged as an awareness that we were living and treating each other completely wrong. No one knew for sure what the meaning of life was, what was the cause of illness, how the behavior of parents affected the health and destiny of their children. Nowadays, many people write on this topic because it has become attractive. But back then, it was a discovery. I wrote the first book and suddenly realized that the main cause of illness is not the deification of the material. The desire to make family, relationships with loved ones, abilities, and intellect the goal and meaning of life can be a much more serious cause of illness than any material aspects.
In the first book, I wrote that the main source is prayer for the material, for earthly matters. But it turned out that the main problem of the modern world is the deification of the spiritual. And since the first book, like the subsequent ones, is based on my own research and conclusions that have been repeatedly confirmed in working with patients, its impact turned out to be very strong. But the main thing was the impulse to detach from the material. With the second book, I tried to balance the mechanism of overcoming human values. Normally, it would take me 5-7 years to write each book. But here, the understanding that unbalanced information could be dangerous pushed me into feverish new searches.
After finishing the second book, I wanted to rest for a few years. But suddenly I realized that there was another very important point that could explain a lot. It was the deification of human love. The ability to maintain love for God and not seek culprits when the peak of human happiness, human love, is humiliated. This ability to a significant extent removes the attraction of the human.
So, people came to me for consultations after reading all three books. Everything was fine with them except for one strange fact. Their dependence on higher spiritual moments, on consciousness as such, was much greater than the dangerous level. And this often led to infertility and oncology. This meant that the information was not complete, and in some crucial aspects, the system would not be able to help those who were suffering. And then the fourth book appeared. Usually, before and after writing any book, I would face major troubles. And the more valuable the information, the more intensely I was shaken to bring the book into order. Because a book, like a child, carries the author's information. Just as parents are responsible and pay for their children if they emotionally raised them incorrectly, I am responsible for each book.
I didn't notice any significant cleansing after completing the fourth book. I understood that more or less everything had been put in order, and I could rest and engage in some other matters. But since the main source of information is working with patients, I sometimes accepted patients. Plus, I wanted to make sure how effectively my discoveries could help the sick.
Slowly, painfully comparing and diagnosing, I came to the conclusion that the theme of the future, principles, and ideals had an even finer, more extensive layer underneath it. It was related to the concepts of morality, human love, religious beliefs, and for some reason, with the aging process. In the end, I came to the understanding that this layer is called the human soul.
I will not describe in detail how I came to all of this. It could be the subject of an entire book. I provide an approximate, condensed description of my journey. I realized that my previous four books reduced all human values to two aspects: material and spiritual. However, there is another concept known as the values of the soul. It turns out that all human values ultimately boil down to the very concept of a human, i.e., the body, spirit, and soul. The deification of a loved one generates dependence on the soul, spirit, and body. And through this, attachment to all other human values arises. Therefore, one should look at a loved one not as a source of happiness but as an assistant in the quest for God, in the accumulation of Divine love. The more dependent one is on a loved one, the more grievances one has towards them. So, to the extent that we can forgive and not make demands on our loved ones, we will not be attached to ideals and morality, abilities and relationships, or material possessions.
This was new information, and I could speak about it to others only after practice and helping the sick proved its truth. So, I needed to come to my senses and continue further research.
Now, as I dictate these lines, it seems to me that I am starting to grasp something new, without which I cannot solve the problem of dependence on emotions. My previous books were dedicated to overcoming dependence on material and spiritual values. This theme is related to matter. Spirit is related to space. The soul, i.e., emotions, is related to time. My dependence on emotions and inability to overcome the inertia of aggressive emotions is evidence that my dependence on time was very high. A few years ago, I stopped experimenting with time because I felt it was dangerous. But now, overcoming the dependence on time is becoming one of the conditions for my survival. So, I cannot yet accept the destabilization of human values related to time. Since I am dependent on time, I have many grievances towards it. And until I resolve these grievances, this dependence will not diminish. So, let's see what comes first: it's regret about the past. Repeatedly wishing for death because of not accepting events that happened in the past. I understood why I couldn't overcome my irritability earlier. It turns out that being an irritable and regretful person is essentially the same, and it can grip the human «self» much more strongly than focusing on the spiritual and material. Next is dissatisfaction with the present, the situation in which a person finds themselves; this simultaneously represents dissatisfaction with the past and the future. I had a lot of this too. Then there's fear of the future, contempt for those who shattered my plans for the future and ideals; this also increases dependence on time. Earlier, I couldn't understand why the theme of the future, which seemed to include dreams, plans, hopes, and ideals, was so unpredictable for me. The parameter of the future was unstable. There was always some new information associated with it. I just couldn't understand where this instability was coming from. Now I understand. For me, it was only a spiritual parameter, but in reality, it was primarily a temporal one. When I started writing the first book, my model of the world was material, earthly, and dependence on this world blocked the possibility of coming to God. In the second and fourth books, the model of the material world changed to the model of the spiritual world. Now, it's a time when the model of the world is starting to become temporal. For some reason, I don't have the feeling that overcoming time can completely close the chapter on the human "self" and human values. There are some vague feelings about the existence of a parallel Universe with reverse time. So, there are still some stages. I wanted to say: «Time will tell» and smiled to myself.
What will the world be like if time stops?
