Don't take credit for your victories and achievements. God, who is love, helps the walking. If you appropriate the divine for yourself, you will awaken pride in yourself, and it will become your source of suffering and failure.
All that is required of a person is to want to achieve his goal, to suffer that you are not doing it, and to start moving towards it, while realizing that you cannot do it yourself. However, you can expect God to help you. God helps the walking.
Suffering is the source of a miracle, an act of sacrifice in the name of achieving a goal. You suffer that the wish is not fulfilled and you want it to be fulfilled.
All problems will be solved by a miracle. I have no idea how. I myself am weak and cannot solve them. I do what I have to do and what is available to me. I hope for God's providence.
I want to compare such entities as law and ritual with crutches. This is the very stick that turned the monkey into a man, this is the spear of power. The essence is useful, but not necessary. You can do without crutches. The word is the letter of the law, but the spirit of the law is its content.
What is sobriety? Limiting yourself in imagination. Reality is a limitation of the imaginary. A person who is intolerant of reality and does not like it, tends to drunkenness. So sobriety is reality and truth.
The providence of God is reality, and the machinations of Satan are all unreal, inebriated, fantasy, thirst for better and more than what is available and real.
A person suffers from their inattention, carelessness, laziness, relaxation, ignorance, etc. All these are signs of the absence of love. Love is attention, concentration, action, cognition, etc. Pride is the absence of love, and there is no other reason for suffering except pride.
You're afraid of war. You say, as long as there is no war. You are afraid that there will be a war tomorrow. You're an ignoramus. There is always a war. The war never ends and never begins. The war changes its forms, but the war itself is endless.
Fears and resentments turn a person away from good and beauty. I'm telling you, don't be afraid to look for beauty and goodness. Everything is fine. Everything is beauty.
When a person has an attack of anger and psychosis, there is no need to answer and prove anything to him. Be quiet. Then, when he calms down, explain to him calmly your position. Anger blinds a person, in anger he is like deaf and blind, only your words add wood to the fire.
They say you can't blame yourself. They say you can't blame your neighbor. I tell you, blame yourself and your neighbor. You are both to blame, so let your sins burn out mutually, and you will both become as clean as angelic toddlers. Minus on minus will give birth to a cross.
The meaning is reverence. Overkill devalues things, and a person can no longer treat them with reverence. It deprives a person's soul of joy and wonder.
The cross becomes lighter the more you carry it. The more you try to get rid of your cross and resist it, the harder it becomes. The cross must be borne meekly and patiently. The murmur makes the cross unbearably heavy.
Happiness is a reverent attitude towards things and people. When you are surrounded by many things and people, they become devalued, and a person loses his reverence for them, losing joy and happiness. The poorer a person is and the fewer things he has, the easier it is for him to rejoice. What can prevent this joy? Greed and envy of those who are deprived of joy.
I won't be original if I tell you that everything I did in my life and created, I couldn't do it. I did not have the opportunities, resources and knowledge for any of my goals. Everything I did, I did despite the circumstances and opportunities.
A standard person loves only himself and his desires, and if he creates an idol for himself, then this is his own reflection in the mirror. The love of such a person is carnivorous and is an expression of his own super-valuable desires.
The point is to see God in your neighbor. It is difficult, first you need to see God in yourself. God is equal to God. All people are equal. Love is the ability to see the divine.
The meaning of human life is to learn to see God. To see in oneself, in the near, in the distant, in enemies... to see and not to create idols. To see and not try to devour. When a person dies, he unites with God, and this unity is possible only for those who have reached the maturity of the mind. Others will be afraid and reject God, thereby condemning themselves to hell.
He is perfect who says: "I have everything I need." I appreciate everything I have and am grateful for everything I have. I have the love of God and it is impossible to separate me from it. God will not abandon the man who opened his soul to him.
The devil is a vile liar of the type who offers the idiots slavery under the guise of freedom. The proud are not satisfied with the limitations of the real world, and they are eager to push the boundaries. Crossing the border throws them into the slavery of vices. Vices say: "We are freedom." Freedom from what? Freedom from freedom is slavery.
In the third dream, someone I hadn't seen for a thousand years was showing me a wonderful world where everything was unique and wonderfully beautiful. A thousand years I rejoiced, and in this joy there was no satiety, fear and suffering. After I woke up, it took me ten years to realize that the meaning of human life is to learn to see light, beauty, joy, God.
The path of condemnation is the path of despondency. Do not judge, because it will steal your joy. On the other hand, this path will lead you to despair, and despair is the key. Therefore, judge and burn in hell until you burn out and become ashes.
It only seems to you that everything is bad for you, but in fact, everything is good for you. Satan tempts you with lies and fear, saying that everything is bad. In fact, you are walking the true path and everything is for the best.
To follow the dream, you need to trust God, because the true path is the path on the water, where God helps the one who is walking. A dream is an impossible goal. A person is not able to overcome the last mile, not everyone will be able to take a step into the abyss of uncertainty. There is always enough energy for the beginning of the journey, and then the abyss.
The person who makes a lot of things for himself is a murderer of love, because he loses reverence for things. You can't love many things at once. Loveless things suffer.
A man in a case is a man who turns his material into a super-value and neglects the spiritual. The spiritual is limitless, the material is like a case.
Jesus said that blessed are the pure in heart and soul. About the bliss of the rich, successful and healthy Jesus didn't say anything. Thus, happiness is a derivative of the inner world of the human soul, which does not depend on from the external material world.
The animal lives in the moment here and now. The mind has discovered the possibility of living after death. Therefore, the mind thinks about the eternal. Animals don't care about the eternal. It is the value of the eternal that distinguishes a reasonable person from animals.
I noticed that animals are eternally dead, and the human spirit is eternally alive. The life of an animal is an infinitely small limitation of existence, tending to zero against the background of infinite non-existence. As for the human spirit, he believes in his immortality. Truth is what is believed.
When a person dies, all boundaries disappear and everything opens up. Tell me, if all the people around you see your thoughts and feelings, what will they think about you? In this sense, after death, souls are sorted. Pure souls come together so as not to dirty each other. Dirty souls also gather in a heap, where fear, hatred, anger, dislike prevail. The first place is called heaven, and the second is hell.
All human prayers are perceived by angels and demons. The task of angels is to hear love in prayer and convey it to God. The task of demons is to hear in prayer the elements of pride, vanity, greed and other vices in order to use this occasion to turn a person's life into hell. The world cannot go against the will of man, man's desires and thoughts are the reason for everything.
The problem is not in suffering, but in vices, mistakes and sins. Suffering is already a consequence, a signal and a healing process from a vice or a system of vices. Suffering is more like a cure than a disease. True illness is something that you do not consider a disease, you do not see, but on the contrary, you really appreciate and even love.
Perfection is pure joy. Perfection is when there are no goals, desires, something important. Everything is perfect as it is, and nothing else is needed.
You can decide for yourself what to believe and what not to believe. What you believe will become the truth. Truth is subject to your free will. For example, you may not believe the words spoken in anger and aggression, because this is an expression of clouded pride, that is, a lie.
The idea of God is good because it is boring and dreary to live without God. Without God, man is overcome by depression and slavery of vices. The idea of God is the idea of infinite love and joy.
Knowing how to live is boring. When you don't know how to live, the brain works much more fun and generates insights that are accompanied by the release of energy of joy.
Simplify. No need for any sophistication. If you don't know what to do, leave everything to God's will. Everything will fall into place. Be patient. Everything will be fine.
Panic attacks don't come from nothing. At first, despondency occurs, and only then panic attacks come. Faith and hope were a shield against fear. When the shield disappears, fear attacks.
Usually a person becomes discouraged when the goals of pride are crushed. Pride is ignorant and inconsiderate. Sometimes pride bangs its head against the wall, and there is a door next to it, but pride does not need a door. Pride needs to hit the wall with its head.
