Response to a letter from Olga

Letter 2.

Olga's question: Good afternoon! Today I read your response to my questions and felt some aggressiveness on your part. But the purpose of my questions was to understand that [1] your teaching is not Hatha Yoga. [2] It's very useful for body treatment, but what heals the soul? I've been practising Raja Yoga for five years and it is different from yours, because the goal is control over your mind, positive thinking about yourself and about people around us. And [3] in Hindi, Yoga means "connection". Raja Yoga is connection with the higher energy which helps us grow spiritually, become stronger and, what is important, control our emotions. Thus, when we control our minds (thoughts), we never get upset in any situation, whatever it is, and, so to say, find our way out as winners. [4] Depression, fear of any kind, the influence of circumstances and other people on us disappears because we find self-esteem, our inner strength, which we lack now. That's why I'm asking you not to see this as aggression, because people write here that they've found what they were looking for. Best of luck to you and your teachings.

Answer: Olga, we have several options beginning with the answer that would be fine with you, in which case you will continue to be very comfortable, and ending with a harsh answer which will (perhaps) "bring you to life" and provide you with an opportunity to look at yourself from the outside. The option that we have chosen, is not the harshest.

Yes, everything's very rough. There are many fake teachings and practices that people have stuck into, and it's very difficult to drive them out of such practices. But we'll try Let's start.

1. What is Hatha Yoga?

Olga, you realize that "Our Teaching is not Hatha Yoga." Great. I would like you to understand that there is no Hatha Yoga — and any Yoga as well — in Western Hatha Yoga, there's just usual physical training. We've been talking about it from the very beginning. Yes, our Teaching is not Hatha Yoga — it's practical Yoga which gives precise and quick results. Here is a quote from chapter 5 of the website: "Poses (Asanas) of Hatha Yoga help obtain various QI configuration within the body of beginners who already possess controlled QI. Sadly, in the West, Hatha Yoga is used just as a physical training in hopes to get something. Alas!"

2. We do not cure.

Concerning health. Do you think we've come here to restore health of the population? Of course not! This is a thankless job. Everyone should get it from Our Yoga by themselves. While mastering our Yoga practices, the practitioners obtain health as a bonus. And this will be the indicator of real Yoga.

In Buddhist monasteries, there isn’t health topic as such, just harmonious development of body and spirit — not some hypothetical soul with "higher energies" with flabby body.

3. How to translate the word "Yoga"?

Raja Yoga is not translated, it's a name. But even if we assume that "Yoga" means "connection", then it means, for example:

— connection of the external and the internal worlds in harmony. But to reach such connection, one needs to uncover the interior of the body, to make it visible. This is Yoga.

— connection of a human with his divine essence. (Read our response to Svetlana about the ultimate goal of Yoga). This is Yoga.

We translate the word "Yoga" as "change". Everything changes within a person. Not only conscious states and abilities: a person changes inside and thereupon his Outside World changes. Its laws change and it becomes controllable. It's as simple as that. You only need to start. Everything's very specific and there is no place for fiction. Moving and controlling Qi and the pulse inside are based on tactile receptors located throughout the body. A beginner as if feels his or her inner world in the dark using Qi and the pulse. Later, the inner space becomes visible. Here, everything is really tangible and really works. Let's summarize: those who get Qi or the pulse inside, understand immediately: this is real, and further practices will be a joy, will be irresistible.

Reflection of opening the interior space within the Consciousness forms alternative Consciousness as bioenergetic intellect. It is characterized by enlightenment, controllable psychic practice, clairvoyance. And this is only the initial stage of Our Yoga. A prospective work plan is to be published.

4. Psychotechnics.

Olga, you differentiate between the body and soul. But who divided them? It is well thought out, one cannot neither see the soul, nor feel it, nor measure the value of its spiritual growth. But it does work! Why?

There is a science of psychology. Well, we need to get out of hopeless situations somehow. People determined that spirit and soul is a moral and psychological condition. And they began to influence this condition. We won't interfere with psychology or psychoanalysts: a sick science makes sick humanity happy! But there are abnormalities. Unpublicized Psychotechnics appeared — a direct impact on the human psyche. And it works, because the results are very serious.

The West, due to its insolvency (to provide harmonious development), has mastered these techniques of psychotechnics and applies them broadly. And they found limited application: in religious sects, at sermons, in group prayers, and, finally, in classes and seminars on pseudoyoga. All these "meditations" for "higher powers" only impact the psyche with the corresponding effect. It is evident. Those who are engaged in these activities will be incapacitated in the Outside World, will accumulate diseases, but will persist because they have been caught!

There is almost no way out. We've talked about this many times. Olga, your yoga is from the same list. This is not Yoga.

With the use of Psychotechnics, the Neural Part of the brain begins to operate autonomously. You have natural feelings and visions, but they are not real. When operating autonomously, the Neural Part of the brain "turns on a movie." You get immediately various meridians and chakras painted in different colours... the chakras rotate, etc. All these visions and feelings are absolutely natural because all "movies" work on the same analysers: vision, hearing, sense of touch, sense of smell... Hence, there appear Contactors, Visitors of other worlds who communicate with the Supreme Substances, and so on. This tangibility of visions and sensations is a trap. It is impossible to wake those who hallucinate. We warn about it and explain in great detail what to do not to get there.

Follow our instructions accurately. That is why, at first, we work with the inside where you can clearly feel Qi and the pulse based on tactile receptors that penetrate the entire body. (When a powerful pulse is on, the entire body of a Yogi is shaking and it can be seen from the outside.) And only when you obtain real and controllable Qi and the pulse, you can go with this to the Outside World.

Those teachers who cannot provide harmonious development, have come up with the theory that the soul with "higher energies" is the main thing. And the body has to suffer. And there are "smart pants" who call these methods of influencing the psyche Yoga.

From the perspective of Yoga, there is no division into body and soul. (Raja Yoga speaks about seven Pillars: 5 senses, body and mind). You will find sick mind in a sick body. This division was invented to hide the true state of affairs: "You are unwell, but your soul is wow!"

Olga, We can advise you on a very effective method, which gives the opportunity to (as you say) "grow spiritually, become stronger." You may go weightlifting, boxing or wrestling. Believe me, together with an increase in physical condition your state of mind will also increase manifold. Just like in a song:

             And on the stage appear some burly fools

             Ignorant to the sorrows of the world. 

So what, we need to call all strength sports yoga? No! This is not Yoga.

5. Maturation of consciousness.

Based on the questions asked, we have identified three categories of people.

The first group are those who do not engage in any Practice and now they decide to do. These are common people and their Consciousness perceives the new with difficulty. They have got acquainted with this site, but they ask childish questions, while our website describes what is Yoga and what is not in great detail. Methods and results of real Yoga are shown but this information is not perceived.

The second group are those who were engaged in some Practice and think that they did Yoga. But we have already said: there is no Yoga in the West. But "schmoozed" Consciousness doesn't perceive anything. Olga, you do not see a significant difference between what you did and Our Yoga. But it was clearly stated: "Either you calm your mind down, or disturb it — this is not Yoga. In Yoga, you turn your mind off." You haven't understood this information. You were only left with the impression of aggression on our part. It is difficult to break yourself. And aggression has nothing to do with this.

We give this advice to all those who are willing to do real Yoga. Read this site carefully, many times, think on every phrase. There are no useless words here. Consciousness must ripen.

And the third category, those who are in search, those who moved through different Teachings and Practices and but have not "schmoozed" their Consciousness. And every time they came to understand — that's not the thing! These are our people. (We have to repeat ourselves sometimes.) And people in this group perceive everything properly and ask proper questions. Just one small thing is lacking — mastering. Hey, guys, sit in Pranayama, work and master.
