Hello dear friend!
This book is very lucky: it managed to break through to you through the powerful streams of information that we consume in huge quantities every day. But you hold this book in your hands, and I believe that all acquaintances are not accidental, and the Universe itself accompanied this meeting.
I always wanted to be that person, acquaintance and communication with which brings positive emotions, to whom I want to turn for help and support, for advice and communication, and with whom it is simply interesting to spend time. While we communicate through this book, I will try to tell you some of the secrets of a happy and successful life that I once met.
We all deserve the happiness that lives within us and that does not depend on income, environment, husband or wife, children, or anyone else. In this book, you will learn about the power of your thoughts, how positive thinking affects our lives, and how the beliefs imposed by society stand in the way of happiness. Our happiness does not depend on anyone but ourselves. After all, it's not about what happens to us - it's about how we relate to what happens.
Once a thief broke into someone else's chicken coop and stole a chicken. When he was running away, he knocked over the lamp, and the chicken coop caught fire. The chicken looked back and, seeing the fire of the fire, understood: it saved her life. When the thief fattened the chicken with millet and bread, the chicken understood that he was taking care of her. When the thief wandered from city to city, hiding the chicken in his bosom, the chicken understood: he loves her. When the chicken saw that the thief had brandished a knife, she realized that he wanted to commit suicide. She jumped on the knife and covered the thief with her body. And she died happy.
(Peter Mordkovich's parable)
We are not able to control the world around us, the weather and other people, but we are able to control ourselves and our thoughts. Happy people see positive aspects even in problems, see opportunities in difficult times, and see good in evil deeds.
Everyone deserves to have a song, movie, or book dedicated to them. Therefore, I dedicate this book to you, dear reader.
But a miracle is a miracle, and a miracle is God.
When we are in confusion, then in the midst of confusion
It overtakes instantly, unawares.
B.Pasternak
and the more they believe
the more often they happen.
Denis Diderot
A miracle must come from faith, not faith from a miracle.
Nikolai Alexandrovich Berdyaev
NEW YEARS IS SOON!
What can you write about on the eve of such a holiday!? Yes, of course, oh MIRACLES! Even the most pragmatic, conservative and skeptical people, on the eve of such a holiday, at least a little warmth is formed inside, because we were all children, believed in Santa Claus, received gifts ...
But now, as adults do we believe in miracles? Did a miracle happen to you personally? Many people now consider themselves believers, go to church, fast, and probably know that Jesus Christ commanded us: "Be like children." Are we keeping this wise commandment? Or ossified, withered in the process of "hard life?". Then it's time to throw off this burden, get rid of the negative and oppressive and leave this rubbish in the old year, and enter the New Year with ease and fun! Moreover, adult girls and boys don’t need to ask permission from anyone, they allowed themselves and that’s it. ! FORWARD! MEET THE MIRACLE! Imagine how simple everything is!
Miracles happen often in my life. I have not lost my ability believe. After all, what is "VE-RA"?! Earlier, in pre-Christian times, the word "Faith" had nothing to do with religion. This word was born as an abbreviation of the phrase "Know Ra", which meant « own the Knowledge of the gods» similar to the god Ra. Here under the term "God" understood human, which has reached a very high level of evolutionary development. Such a person could manipulate space and matter within certain limits, corresponding to his current level and acquired skills. Those. word "Faith" actually meant enlightenment of one's consciousness certain knowledge of a fairly high level and constant upward movement along the path of evolutionary development. And, as is known from the latest achievements of science: we all have high knowledge from the very beginning, they are embedded in us, only we have lost the ability to connect to them, we drown out intuition with logic, we hammer common sense with our minds, stuffed from childhood with sheer ignorance, we cannot distinguish TRUTH from DECEPTION …
Story : I studied at a rural school, the prospects for further education, for those who, like me, studied very well, were as follows: direction to the Pedagogical Institute or to the Agricultural Institute, the rest of the universities were inaccessible to us, as the teachers frankly told us, they say, the grade is “5 ”, which they give us, will be transferred to a solid “3” in a city school, plus everything, a fully-fledged foreign language was not taught at our school, i.e. teachers who were sent to our school by September 1, by the end of the year, left for various reasons, despite the fact that our village is located 20 km from a large regional city ... And in many universities, a foreign language was included as an entrance exam ... And now once again discussing our future in class, the class teacher called universities: in Moscow you can’t enter MGIMO, but here, probably, this is the law faculty of the university, there is a competition for up to 20 people for 1 place. And so it hooked me, and I began to say that it was there that I would study ... And work began with me to dissuade me and convince me that I “never go there”, in addition to school teachers, relatives joined, and among them there were people who made a good career, and now they convinced me that everything was already planned there, for several years, who would study there, that I don’t know life, but I’ll only lose time and achieve nothing, I’ll wash the floors ... but by myself, of course, a weighty argument against which I could not object was that “Well, you won’t pass English!?”. It was really serious, but inside myself, I answered this: “I don’t know how, but it will come true anyway.” I did not enter the 1st year and the 2nd, and it was like this: English was the fourth exam, the first was an essay for which I was given a "2" and the admission ended there, to the delight of all "knowing and warning", but now the 3rd year has come, the exams have begun and what do you think? At the correspondence department, they cancel the delivery of the English language, it was the only time and on the only branch, I realized that this is just for me! I didn’t even understand, but I felt it with my whole being .... And I wrote the essay right away for 4+ (the dean’s office said that + could play a role in a controversial situation), I also passed the rest of the subjects well and did, and then I was offered to transfer to the full-time department, but I had a very interesting job, so I didn’t want to arose. I never subsequently found out the reasons why English was canceled, I am not interested in this now, as they say in one of my favorite films, Unicorn Journey: "When it comes to magic, you should not ask too many questions." THIS IS HOW FAITH WORKS! And it is FAITH that precedes the MIRACLE, and not vice versa!
FAITH is a beautiful, shining crystal bridge that goes from a person's DESIRE to the SOURCE all possibilities. Doubts are the stones that break this bridge! If a person manages to keep FAITH (LIGHT in the head!), not to let all kinds of “stones” break it, then any desire is fulfilled, no matter what, God, as you know, has many ways and his ways are inscrutable ...
To our great regret, we all once, long ago, fell into a trap and still cannot get out of it ... And this trap is very cunning, it is not immediately possible to recognize it.… That's what it's about!
Our relatives and friends, of course, wish us well and only good things, they believe that they know life better than us (just like we ourselves, having matured, we think the same in relation to their children), impose their experience on us and make a choice for us, motivated by the fact that “your dreams are stupid, you won’t make money on it, or: you can’t do it, come on, come here” You will be full all your life and be grateful to me. So right? And as a result: a young man gets this most "full" life, but along with it a lot of complexes and disappointments, because. he did not realize his God-given gift!? I don’t know what percentage, but I personally know many people who hate their work, but consider that it’s too late to change anything, and if they had their way, they would never have chosen it ...
Looking for these very easy ways, a Person becomes spineless, weak-willed, characterless, joins the ranks of the “gray faceless mass” hiding behind the word “we”, such a Person will never say: “I am responsible for this”, but necessarily: “... and what could i do? We are …". Hand on Heart answer: Are you happy with everything? Is your profession and job responsibilities the embodiment of your dreams?
Story: This spring, I met a woman, LYUDMILA (Darling to People), her name is, she recently retired and took up her favorite business: growing different seedlings, but she gives special preference to tomatoes, loves to look at these fruits and admire ... So she said, that she worked all her life as an accountant, then as a chief accountant, several times she seriously wanted to leave work, but her husband did not allow it, he was afraid to be left without money, he recently died from an illness ... but she has a great passion since childhood for growing various plants, she has there was a whole garden in the office - her outlet, like a free minute, so she was already digging and watering, and when she left, the girls, her colleagues, brought her almost all the pots and tubs, because they couldn’t do anything, the plants dry up and that’s all ... And here she is in the garden from morning till night, set up small greenhouses and grows seedlings from her own seeds there, everyone wonders how her back doesn’t hurt, and she answers that her back she was ill and very ill when she was an accountant, and now she can’t get sick. “My house, he says, is small, and the garden is large, my husband insisted on building a 2, 3-story house, but I insisted that one floor would be enough, because I have to clean there, but I clean up more in the garden, and the children have their own houses ... ". So, we went to her later for seedlings, you just can’t count the varieties of tomatoes, so she can endlessly tell for each variety how to salt: you need to add sugar to these, be sure to add half Bulgarian pepper to these, to these ... We planted seedlings in our garden and witnessed the real MIRACLE! Firstly, every single sprout began, and secondly, they grew by leaps and bounds and grew into tall bushes with an unprecedented harvest, from a small plot we collected 4-5 buckets of tomatoes every other day, and then there were aphids from neighbors in the district ate tomatoes and cucumbers ... and our tomatoes seemed to be charmed, so we distributed them to our neighbors: one bucket to another two, and this continued until mid-October, this year's autumn is good, dry and sunny. Can you imagine!? All the neighbors have already completely removed the vegetable gardens, burned the tops dry, and our tomatoes are ripening! Several boxes were laid green and until the end of November they all ripened with us ... We, as they say, also live on earth all our lives, but this has not happened, somehow everything is usual ... Apparently Lyudmila puts so much Love into her business, that like this everything happens! See What diamond has our agriculture lost!?
It turns out that wishing us well, our close people, at the same time, direct us along the wrong path, which completely deprives a person of the opportunity to develop his own Power, show talent, achieve what he wants and live a bright, interesting life in general ... and as a result - HAPPY ! An easy way, good earnings - far from always lead to happiness. Sweet is the fruit that you got with hard work. I will never agree with those who think that "now it's too late" it's never too late, even if you're 80 years old! Break the stereotypes and do what you like, right now you are your own boss! If Mikhail Lomonosov did not leave the house at night, and even in the cold, can you imagine what kind of diamond our science and culture as a whole would lose!?
Maybe someone knows better than us and has more experience, but for us it is ANOTHER EXPERIENCE, ANOTHER WAY AND ANOTHER LIFE! If someone eats your dinner, you will not become full, even if they do it for you: whoever ate that one is full, right!? Only, having found his way in life, the Man reveals himself, his eyes begin to shine, it is about such people that they say: “Doctor from God! The teacher is from God…etc.” And only FAITH helps a Person in this!
But the fact is that we are not taught this, the most unpleasant thing is that something completely different is given out for FAITH today. Today, this means thoughtless, fanatical belief into something unexplained, poorly formulated, deceitful and extremely harmful - into religion! In fact, the church imposes on people such a worldview, which is more characteristic of not to a Reasonable Man, but to a weak-willed being. I don't mean to offend the feelings of people who attend church. But the Truth, sooner or later it must be revealed. And the fact that the church does not contribute to the evolutionary development of man is a fact! And it contributes to the evolutionary development of man just knowledge of God! And it starts with knowing yourself! " MAN KNOW YOURSELF- written on an ancient temple.
And no matter how bright our life becomes, learn we BELIEVE for real, right? And you believe, just New Year's Eve is the best time, because. the level of human energy rises, the state of joy, the aggravation of feelings, the feeling ... what if ?!
Story: Marina, my friend, could not leave the city where she was at work to go home to celebrate the New Year. she was not transferred the money (for an objective reason, they were not on the account of the organization in which she worked), the times of non-payments were everywhere. And tomorrow, December 30, and she could not redeem the ticket and went to her temporary home, on the way she was stopped by a man who had drunk a little and asked for money “for bread”, Marina opened her wallet, and there the only 100 rubles, she looked at them and says to the man: "Here, take it." The man, apparently, also noticed that this was the only bill in her wallet, it seemed that it became inconvenient for him to take it, but Marina added: “These 100 rubles still don’t do any weather for me, I can’t go home, so take it, at least You will benefit! She came home, it was getting dark, and therefore the possibilities of her departure were fading ... When suddenly there was a knock on the door, she opened it, and on the threshold the woman whom Marina helped in resolving her issue was absolutely selfless, but this woman came and said that she wanted to thank Marina for the time spent, and besides, the help turned out to be effective, she received a pension today, she stood in line for a long time and was afraid to be late, she didn’t know exactly when Marina was leaving ... “let it be a little, but from the Soul, for help ...”. Marina accepted with gratitude, there was already a quarter of the ticket ... And after 30 minutes there was another knock on the door, and the time was already about 22 hours. A man from the management of their company stood on the threshold and said the following: “I just found out that you are leaving, you know, I want to ask you: 3 years ago I bought a land plot in your area, but I never paid tax, the deadline is already 3 years, you never know ... I wrote everything here, I don’t know the amount, but I brought it so that it’s enough for sure, pay, please, and hand over the receipts ... ”. Marina was happy, she celebrated the New Year at home. And the amount that she received to pay the tax was ten times more, but it was precisely this that Marina did not have enough to leave. Of course, she fulfilled the order and returned the change along with the receipts... Isn't it a miracle?! The most real! When it seems that there are no chances ... besides, it turned out that this Man has a lot of acquaintances in her city and one of them was very surprised why N. didn’t contact him ?!
Let's remember our miracles, tell about them more often, especially to children, develop and strengthen our FAITH, strive for the truth, be guided by our inner knowledge, it will not let you down! And the main secret that contributes to miracles: to become a SOURCE OF MIRACLE for other people, people of various destinies live next to us (lonely elderly people, low-income families with children, etc.), let's congratulate them, give gifts, sometimes a small chocolate can warm Soul to man, let's be generous, everything always comes back ...
I wish you all many, many miracles! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!!!
For miracles!!!
My toast is that sometimes
There were miracles in the world
And we laughed like children
And they always believed in miracles ...

I am sure that any business should be trusted to professionals. Only a shoemaker can repair shoes well (thanks to shoemaker Pavel Borisovich for the last repair), only a real master can repair broken household appliances (thanks to Igor for the repaired AIWA cassette deck of the 80s). And so in any case, we trust specialists, and do not treat teeth with a locksmith with a screwdriver. But there is a sad exception to all the rules. For some reason, many people think that in matters of religion, anyone is ready to become a mentor, if he has the Internet at hand. And articles appear in serious publications, fly-by-night newspapers with advice on how a person can save his soul, and, along the way, improve his health, multiply like mushrooms.
I came across the Healing through Prayer newspaper by accident at the Rospechat kiosk. Illiquid at a bargain price, but at the time of going on sale it was bought up quite well. It's just that the publishers went too far with the circulation, 50870 copies - a lot to start with. But, judging by the fact that the newspaper is almost completely sold out, the publisher remained in profit. The subtitle reads: "Miracles are where they are believed in, and the more they believe, the more often they happen." I remembered the times of Kashpirovsky, Chumak and the White Brotherhood. I decided to buy, especially since the price is really affordable.
No, the newspaper did not surprise me with its set of reprints from pravoslavie.ru and rather familiar incantations. Even on Pravoslavii.ru it is not difficult to find an excuse for magic. Surprised something else. Usually such newspapers are published or curated by professional magicians, but here is a simple selection of Internet publications with a circulation of 50,000 printed copies. Not every regional newspaper can boast of such a circulation. And here is a simple selection made hastily, probably in one or two days (this is evidenced by numerous typos and the composition of the editorial board - 2 people.
If the editorial does not cause complaints, then the newspaper resembles a fairy tale, that is, the further, the more terrible. On the second page, we learn that you can drink Epiphany holy water only on an empty stomach, and in case of illness, you must use water consecrated on another day ... Well, then it gets worse and worse. Here are some tips to treat cancer with a mixture of 10 parts of crayfish shell, 5 parts of gentian and 3 parts of frankincense, which must be burned over low heat. Here are the conspiracies “The Most Holy Theotokos holds a sword, cut cancer ... seething, warty ... drive out, knock out ... evicted from 10 joints.” And, finally, the “diet from Jesus Christ”: “let the weight of your daily food be at least 0.5 kilos, but beware that it exceeds 1 kg.” "Do not consume unclean food brought from distant countries." Here is a vinaigrette, typed using a simple search engine and copy-paste. The sloppiness in the publication is so unique that the imprint says "must see" instead of the registration number. If we were not talking about fifty thousand copies, if the newspaper had not been distributed by Rospechat, if there had not been a subscription to it (yes, this publication is distributed by subscription!), then one could not pay attention to illiterate occultism publishers. But, alas, a fact is a fact, it is precisely such newspapers that are most often purchased by "passengers" and then these conspiracies, coupled with instructions "from Christ" become a religious component of the population of our country. And something needs to be done about this, otherwise it will take quite a bit of time and another generation will be lost, just as we lost the generation of the 90s. Then it was possible to make excuses by saying that the Church was not ready for changes, but now we have all become literate, have mastered the Internet and other technologies. So, there will be no excuse for us!
You can start by posting a list of periodicals promoting the occult and magic in churches, and continue by publishing your materials in major publications and distributing church-wide, diocesan and even parish newspapers through the same distribution channels as the newspaper described above. Let religion be represented in the press by professionals, those who know what the spiritual world is and what consequences an incompetent person who decides to make money in a field in which he understands absolutely nothing can expect.
Archpriest Andrey Efanov
Note
1. “The matron read a prayer over the water and gave it to those who came to her. Those who drank water and sprinkled it got rid of various misfortunes. Such unverified (there is not a word about this in the materials for canonization) information posted on a popular site opens up opportunities for almost any magician and sorcerer. You can always refer to some blessing of the "secret old man" to imitate ... no, not a saint, but gossip around her biography.
