They don’t go with their own charter. “They don’t go to someone else’s monastery with their own rules.” To a foreign monastery: Russians on Athos

There is a saying: “they don’t go to someone else’s monastery with their own rules.” I used to think it was very good, and I often applied it to my life. I've thought about her twice lately. These were situations in opposite versions: I came to one community and they began to ask me to establish my own order there, but I did not do this; and in another community, where I have been communicating for quite a long time, new people came and from the very first moment they simply indicated what everyone should do. My consciousness, of course, reacted to all this.

I always try to treat others the way I would like to be treated. But what I definitely don’t need is to influence other people’s choices: a person decides for himself how to act and how to treat me or anyone else. And at the moment when another acts towards me differently than I did (and I already have the expectation that since I did well, then they should do well to me), here, when expectations do not come true, you can only choose his reaction to his action. After all, the way they treated me seems dishonest and unfair. But who is “me” at this moment? And who am I? There is an understanding that everyone makes their own choice, for which they will then be responsible.

If I succumb to the thoughts that an action is dishonest and unfair, it means I believe consciousness, its selfhood and egocentrism... But nothing good ever arises in consciousness, it tries to make some kind of external enemy out of everything, create a thousand tensions and be always ready to attack and/or exist inseparably with fear... And me? Who am I and where am I at these moments?

After all, the real me is a Personality, which is the light emanating from the portal of the Soul - that is, the Light from God. And it is precisely the Personality that is endowed with the right of Choice - the Choice of thoughts, states, reactions, the possibility of Choice of Life or Death!

After all, you can choose Love in every moment and come to Life, or you can choose emotions and a bunch of thoughts imposed by the system in the stream of consciousness. All this is offered by the system, and only the Personality decides whether to accept or not.

No matter how that other person acts, he believes that it is so correct and, perhaps, he believes that it is so honest... After all, everyone has their own truth, but the truth is the same for everyone.

And at one of these moments, I realized that I had succumbed to the desire to rule out of pride and to have “my rules in my monastery” observed. But nothing belongs to us in this world, and thank God!

And I am responsible only for my actions and reactions. So do I need this other person and control over him? Do I need this “monastery”, “rule”, and “observance by others” of this rule? Or do I just need Love, Life in Love, a constant and inextricable connection with God, with my nearest and dearest? Then in any person, no matter how much the consciousness opposes it, you can see a piece of the same one God, you can see the chaff, and efforts, striving for the same God... It’s just that everyone follows their own path, and no one is better or worse. Everyone is given their circumstances, and they are the best for that person at the moment so that he can make his choice.

“Tatiana: ...But if you leave the point of narrowing of consciousness, then you already see a global situation in which there is no place for your pride. And the situation is that you understand how the system generally operates in a pattern over the centuries. In this way, through human desires from pride, through the desire for power, it is introduced into the introduced Teachings, into that which is one from the Spiritual World. And the system divides all this, divides the one into many and turns it into movements controlled by it, religions with their own authorities, with their own commas and the same thirst for power. That’s what you said, that everything repeats itself fractally.

That is, what difference does it make what kind of people do it?! They are simply serving the whims of their consciousness at the moment, which means they are fulfilling the will of the system. But where are you at this moment? The system today has some guides, tomorrow - others, those who actually crave power and call themselves, for example, saints (in any case, they really want people to consider them as such). But globally, the point is not in specific people, but in the system, in how it operates.

And knowing this, you already understand and pay attention to your own consciousness, to your reactions. Are you in the external? In conflict? In disconnection? Is your consciousness picturing another enemy? Or do you feel the Truth, see the global manifestations of the system and do not succumb to its provocations? So you ask yourself the question, who are you serving now? Where is your attention now? Do you feel the Spiritual world within yourself? What are you cultivating in yourself now?”

So I was in a narrowed state of consciousness, and under his power, that is, a slave. And only when I first managed to calm down, I was able to remember, feel that I am a Personality, and I don’t need all this theater.

Whatever the proverb about the monastery and its rules, if the visitor does not comply with this very rule, this does not mean that he is wrong or that he is bad. Also, this does not mean that the monastery or the charter are bad, it does not mean anything at all. When I threw away the superfluous things in myself and chose Love in every moment, only then was I able to understand that this was a lesson for me. Only thanks to the help of the Spiritual World I was able to return to the state of Love and realize everything. Through the prism of Love, I was able to pass this lesson. And if I, the Personality, had not woken up, a thousand more people would have come to “my” monastery to violate “my charter.” And when I, as a Personality, am in Love, in constant contact with God, and when my Choice is final, then it no longer matters to me where to be. No one will come to me anymore to disturb something of mine, because there is nothing of mine here! In the World of God, we are all one, and no matter who I meet along the way, everyone carries a piece of Him in themselves, even if they don’t know about it. And my task is to show by my example that there is a piece of God in everyone, and that every person can Live in Eternal Love.

“People who want to follow the spiritual path should not waste time waiting for someone to come and truly love them. They need to learn to reveal Love within themselves - Love for God, for the Soul - and then it will be reflected in the world around them, allowing them to see people from the perspective of their spiritual beauty. Everything is actually closer than a person can imagine.”
