Many are interested in my books precisely because of the possibility of change. However, real changes won't occur if we kill the feeling of love by making it dependent on something or someone. Love should be blind, deaf, and silent. It should not depend on consciousness, desires, or the body.

When we give only with the desire to eventually receive, it is understandable and acceptable at the physical level. On the external level, energy is scarce, and if we give it away, it needs to be replenished. However, if we, having given the feeling of love, expect a return on the subtle plane, the feeling begins to be inhibited and suppressed. The more we desire to receive and the more we focus on it, the more we suppress our readiness and ability to give. It's precisely the inhibition of love, and therefore energy, that causes degeneration and diseases.

Unrequited love is the school of Divine love. And if there is no real striving towards God, unrequited love only brings torment and destruction. So, let's assume a person has learned not to kill love. How can one accelerate further progress? Love is the giving of energy. Greed kills love. A person who is inwardly greedy cannot love. And if they do fall in love, this feeling makes them unhappy. And the stronger this feeling, the faster they can fall ill and die. However, human love implies the continuation of the species, meaning reciprocity, giving, and thus, greed. But only the body arises from human love. For the animal aspect to become human, Divine love is needed. And at this level, continuous giving is required, excluding consumption, that is, dependency. The more a person can give energy at all levels, the easier it is for them to feel the sense of love. Therefore, a kind-hearted, creative, hard-working person is more likely to retain love than a greedy, lazy, and envious one.

Many read my books consumeristically. I often receive notes like this: «I've read all your books, but I see no results, and I haven't gained health». This is like the parable of the old rabbi who prayed to God for money all his life. Eventually, the Almighty turns to his friend: «Listen, the rabbi has tired me with requests to win the lottery, so let him at least buy a lottery ticket once». The Russian word «khalyava» comes from the Hebrew «chalav», meaning milk. A baby receives mother's milk without any demands or conditions. For the mother, feeding the infant is a necessity, the realization of her love, a joy, and happiness. But we don't learn to give, yet we want to receive. What health can we talk about then? Happiness must be ensured by high energy.

I recently read a book by an American author who studied the fates of more than seven hundred millionaires. It turned out that the main indicator for them was not intelligence, not a good education, not wealthy parents, and not even luck. Primarily, it was certain character traits, one of the main ones being the ability to give energy, overcome problems, and not stop trying. The absolute majority of millionaires initially faced far more difficulties than the average person. By overcoming these difficulties, continuously giving energy at all levels, they intuitively strived for the feeling of love, which was the main source of strength. Therefore, to achieve something, one needs to learn to give.

What are illness, misfortune, death? They are new information. What is love for God? It's a touch of absolute information. A person with little love in their soul is like someone walking down the street blindfolded. As long as they walk at a slow speed, feeling around, the conflict between their movement and what obstructs them exists but doesn’t lead to injuries or death. If they ride a bicycle and rush forward without removing the blindfold, the conflict remains the same, but the consequences can be tragic. If they get in a car and do the same, their chances of survival are very slim. Divine love allows us to remove the blindfold from our eyes, and then any conflict, even the most significant, does not lead to the cessation of development or death.

Now is the time when we all must touch the Divine. If previously saints and hermits did this voluntarily, now, it seems, this will begin to happen with everyone, on a global scale. To survive in such a situation, one needs to distinguish in one's soul the zone of the human and the zone of the Divine. Then contact with God will not kill us. For this, it is necessary to periodically turn off all human interests, desires, and logic and live only in the mode of Divine logic. Then we can survive if the touch of the Divine lasts longer and the upcoming era of love is more extensive.

Each person in life is allotted a certain number of problems, for the resolution of which a certain amount of Divine love is necessary. So there's no infinity. Some ask: why develop love for God if we are going to die anyway? Such a question arises if the purpose and meaning of life is life itself. Then the end of life makes everything else meaningless. Well, the purpose and meaning of any life is happiness. And happiness is a pseudonym for Divine love. Without it, all superficial signs of happiness - physical, spiritual, and sensual - do not exist. Some children say, «Why should I go to first grade if school will end anyway»? Similarly, some adults say, «Why should I live if I'm going to die anyway»? So, in school, we learn to gain knowledge, and in this life, we live to learn to love. If our soul lacks love, then everything that prevents us from loving, including life itself, is taken away from us. Christ spoke in the parable of the foolish virgins that only those who are constantly prepared for the upcoming trials can be happy and serene. Every person chooses their path.

When I began my search for the main cause of human diseases in 1989, wishing to save all people, I also internally prayed to God and asked for help. And I received this help. I saw karmic structures in the non-physical aura - essentially, the mechanism of karma, allowing the connection of character, worldview, behavior, fate, and diseases of a person. The help came to me from two sides. On one hand, through the revelation of abilities, seeing the subtle world, and on the other, through the diagnosis of «cancer, metastases» that was soon given to me. I did not perceive this diagnosis as misfortune or punishment. I told myself: it is given, it must be accepted, the soul should not lose love. And only then did I realize that it was indeed help.

The more you access the subtler planes of the soul, the clearer you see that at these levels all people are intimately connected. When penetrating into subtle planes, the slightest sympathy for another person immediately causes the effect of the disease transferring from them to you. With my level of vision, I had no chance of survival. To heal on subtle, deep planes requires a high internal detachment from everything. Without it, a healer is either a charlatan or a suicide. The process of dying temporarily detached me from all attachments and allowed me to relatively safely go through the most dangerous period - the first years when I internally sympathized with every patient and was ready to die instead of them. On the external level, sympathy is necessary. On the internal level, it is extremely dangerous. Therefore, Eastern philosophy, focused on subtle planes, differs from Western. In the East, it is believed that a person's illness is their fate. It is given to them for their sins, so sympathizing with the sick is harmful, as one should not interfere with another person's fate. To what extent we are ready to see pain not as punishment but as an opportunity for the salvation of the soul, to that extent the internal detachment from attachments leads us to harmony and makes future happiness possible.

After that appointment, I added another point to the principles of revealing the Divine within. Now these principles look like this:

1. Concentration on the Creator, which includes three rules. First: recognizing that love for God is the highest happiness and the meaning of life. Second: the continuity of love for God. Third: understanding that all components of human happiness appear and disappear, and only love for God can be constant.
2. Acceptance of the painful situation, forced purification. This principle implies the following: any situation leads to love and God. Love for God and unity with Him must be preserved in any situation. The cause of pain is not the external world but our imperfection, lack of love in the soul.
3. Voluntary self-restriction, that is, restraining the animal beginning. Here the rules are as follows. First: periodic restriction in pleasures - food, sex, communication, work, etc. Second: internal solitude, allowing one to feel unity with God. Third: correct thinking, emotions, behavior, nutrition, lifestyle.
4. Giving energy. The rules are as follows. First: releasing the highest and purest energy through the feeling of love and seeing the Divine in everything. Second: giving energy at all subsequent levels, i.e., the work of the soul, spirit, and body. Third: understanding that any giving of energy - whether physical labor to earn money, or the labor of a scientist, or a person of art - ultimately boils down to increasing the giving of energy and a greater influx of Divine love into the soul.
5. Increasing unity. The rules are as follows. First: developing collective consciousness. Second: increasingly embracing events of the external world and interacting with them. Third: no matter how high the level of unity with loved ones and close people, with society, and the external world, the striving for God and unity with Him should always be higher.
6. Readiness for change. The first rule: the degree of change, that is, the destruction of the human "I", is determined by the degree of concentration on one's Divine "I", the continuity of love for God. Second: the human "I" is invisibly connected with the external world. Readiness to change implies breaking all ties and re-establishing them anew in a new quality. Third: to change, one must stop protecting one's human "I", temporarily renounce it, lose its significance. Our "I" is connected with our consciousness and main instincts - the preservation of life and its continuation. The concept of humility in Christianity, the cessation of consciousness in Eastern religions, asceticism in all world religions - all these are methods of devaluing the human "I".

I have outlined these six principles roughly. I am only beginning to understand all this, so please consider the above not as strict rules but as an exchange of experience. I hope it will help my readers.

Today is March 10, 2005. Magnificent spring frosty weather. The sun shines brightly. Today I am finishing my eleventh book. Everything seems more or less in place, except that perhaps the six principles of understanding the Divine need to be supplemented with a seventh. A small rule needs to be singled out into a separate principle. First and foremost, energy must be given in the form of love for God and unity with the whole world. The principle of hierarchy. The first emotions and feelings of love should be directed to God. I remember how I began to go blind when in prayer, I put love for God in second or third place.

I pick up the last note and slowly read: «What does a smile give a person? Does it cleanse them energetically? Why do they say that a smiling person is invincible»?

I look at the blue sky outside the window, at the yard lit by the spring sun, and I want to smile. When we see the sun, we often want to smile because we imitate it. A smile is the giving of love and energy, meaning it brings us closer to God. No wonder the apostle said: «Rejoice always». The more a person focuses on security, stability, the less they smile. Sincerity helps to be internally defenseless and helps to smile and love.
