At first the barrier rears up between the praying person and those to whom the prayers are directed. Here I am, and somewhere there, in the sky or somewhere else, is God. That is, spatial separation takes shape.
Then the barrier is strengthened by the creation of a time interval between the current state of affairs and the desired one. Today I’m unhealthy (without money, a loved one, good work), and I pray (wish) that in the future I’ll find that thing. That is, a time separation takes shape.
While this barrier exists, praying and wishing is useless.
The key to destroying this barrier, as you’ve already come to understand, is hidden in our conscious. We specially noted that a person unconsciously constructs this barrier, which means it is possible to consciously destroy it. But this can’t be done with empty hands, we need special instruments. These are already prepared for us; they are a collection of elementary knowledge about the nature of the Universe and man.
We’ll return to the technology of correct prayers in chapter 6, but at the moment we’d like to at least note that rituals, in truth, have no meaning whatsoever for the fulfillment of prayers (or desires).
“How can this be?” you might ask. Why then do millions of believers embark on exhausting pilgrimages to far-off holy lands where miraculous healing takes place? Why do people reverently kiss holy relics, light candles, drop to their knees and engage in so many other rituals during prayer? At least some of them come true! And miraculous healing takes place in holy places time and time again!
We agree that prayers accompanied by rituals sometimes come true, and that miraculous healing does take place at holy places. But the statistics of miracles irrefutably shows the futility of rituals and pilgrimages for fulfillment of prayers (desires). Judge for yourself:
For a century and a half pilgrims from all continents have yearly flocked to the French town of Lourdes seeking miraculous cures. Lourdes became famous after a series of appearances by the Virgin Mary to a village girl named Bernadette in 1858. The Mother of God appeared to Bernadette in the vicinity of the village near a grotto from which gushed a spring. Through the girl, she directed the priests to build a chapel in this place and hold services there.
In no time at all this rundown, provincial village bloomed. Rumors about appearances of the Virgin Mary and a healing spring spread quickly and crowds of suffering people headed for Lourdes. The church authorities, seeing this interest, immediately built three churches with fifteen chapels instead of one and organized the proceedings with open arms.
In 1933 Pope Pious XI sainted Bernadette and the famous Austrian writer Franz Werfel (1890—1945) wrote an entire novel by the name Das Lied von Bernadett (The Song of Bernadette).
In Lourdes itself many hotels were built and a large airport was opened for pilgrims. According to the lowest of estimates, the yearly inflow of pilgrims and tourists to Lourdes exceeds 3.5 million people, according to different estimates, no less than 6 million.
In all the pavilions around the Grotto, from morning till night, mass is performed in various languages of the world: French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, and Dutch. Each evening there are massive, torchlight processions to the Grotto. All the pilgrims carry small candles which are decorated with paper shades. The very process of ablution in the healing spring also takes place in strict accordance with established rules.
And what is the result?
The International Medical Association of Lourdes, which attentively tracks all instances of miraculous healing, has recorded 67 such factual instances in all the history of pilgrimages to the grotto. This is against a backdrop of tens of millions of attempts at healing, undertaken by believers! In mathematical language, 0.0001% success! We’re sure that if Doctor Sytin’s affirmations “worked” with such results, nobody would know his name today.
What’s really happening at Lourdes? Why do the attempts at healing of tens of millions of true believers go without result?
It’s all, of course, in the essence and form of the proceedings in Lourdes.
The strong spirit of falseness and commerciality that reigns in the town and sanctuaries of Our Lady of Lourdes is vividly described by the noted French writer Émile Zola (1840—1902) in his novel Lourdes. Naturally, the grand shows constructed in Lourdes and the entire accompanying industry of merchandise and recreation has nothing in common with the Soul’s process of interaction with God, exclusively through which healing is possible. Those who were healed all the same are those who are able to close themselves off from the atmosphere which reigns in Lourdes and come into contact with God. They were only hindered by all these loud rituals, but deep faith and the proper mood during interaction with God turns out to be stronger than all outside interference.
How and in what one must believe, how to properly conduct oneself and pray, so that everything works out according to our desires is clearly written in ancient manuscripts, found in 1945 in Upper Egypt and from 1947 to 1956 in the caves of Qumran in the Judean Desert. These manuscripts, which have been named the “Nag Hammadi library” and the “Dead Sea Scrolls,” are published in the series “Discoveries in the Judean Desert” (DJD) and currently consist of 40 volumes, published since 1955 by the publishing house Oxford University Press.
If the ancient knowledge of these manuscripts is combined with the achievements of quantum physics, which provide their scientific explanation, it results in an extremely beneficial cocktail, which we encourage you to taste in the following chapters of this book.
Chapter 4.
Who do we believe?
Materialist scientists and their mistaken beliefs regarding the origins of the Universe and humanity. How the followers of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution fooled the entire world. The groundlessness of the Big Bang Theory as an explanation of the Universe’s origin. The story of Flatland, the two-dimensional world. Renowned scientists on God and the creation of the Universe. How are discoveries and artistic masterpieces really made? What is quantum physics and how can it help us to change ourselves and influence those close to us? The Divine Matrix. The formula for altering reality.
“Do you believe in God?” – “I don’t believe, I know.”
In the soul of man there is a God-shaped hole,
and everyone fills it as he can.
In our search for the answer to eternal questions of happiness and the meaning of life, we turn to various sources of knowledge, among which the primary ones are scientific, religious and philosophical. Each source has its own belief system, which differs from the others, and each insists that precisely its system is true. The majority of people, unable to grasp this mass of contradictory and mutually exclusive “sources,” fall into skepticism, losing the very possibility of achieving happiness and finding the meaning of their lives. Together with you we are trying to make sense of various sources and gather those things that are able to fill that metaphorical hole that Jean-Paul Sartre referred to.
If one takes a look at sources of knowledge from “geometrical standpoints,” it is possible to divide them into two categories: external and internal.
The internal or earthly source is the thoughts and conclusions of people, based on their own life
