Beginning of the Spiritual Path. Healing
In this chapter I will start describing how God gradually turned my face on to Himself.
Once I met in the street my old acquaintance. He invited me to go to a course on hatha yoga.
“No,” I replied, “I’m practicing it already and got bored with it.”
Few days later I met him again. (And before we had not seen each other for many years!)
“A lecture on healing is going to be arranged,” he said, “Varvara Mikhailovna Ivanova will come from Moscow to give it. Will you come?”
“No,” I replied, “it’s not interesting for me.”
He gave me the address where this lecture will be delivered and left.
Right away I met another acquaintance of mine and told her about the lecture. She became interested and persuaded me to go to it together.
Varvara Mikhailovna Ivanova was one of the heroes of that epoch. Parapsychology, which she adhered, was forbidden at those years. K.G.B. agents were watching her constantly. Many times they took her away from the stage during her public lectures. But she continued her fight and won: parapsychology was at last “acknowledged” in our country — thanks to her efforts, in particular.
On the lecture that we attended (for conspiracy reasons it was arranged in a private house out of city) Ivanova related about famous healers, demonstrated the methods of healing with hands, conducted a seance…
My companion and I had some minor sicknesses.
She recovered, I did not.
She refused to believe, I did not refuse.
To put it more exactly, I did not believe: as a scientist-experimenter I used not to take something on trust. I had to verify it, to make an experiment.
I tried — and it really worked. All “tricks” of a scientist to make the experiment clean demonstrated that there is an effect.
For instance, directing an energy stream from the palms and fingers of the hands at a patient against the background of compassion leads in most cases to recovering: it removes headaches, inflammations caused by burns, paralyses etc.
Yet, some patients I was unable to help despite making every effort. (Years later I realized the reason: God wanted them to make their own efforts on transforming themselves).
Galina Vaver joined me at this time and for many years we sought the Truth together.
… One case from the healing practice stuck in my memory. Once in a village I was asked to examine a cow. The owners had changed four cows, this one was the fifth, and with all of them there was the same problem: their milk yield reduced significantly few days after they came to the new cow house. Moreover, coming back from the pasture they refused to enter the cow house and the owners had to push them inside with the help of “all village”, as they said. For them it was a shame: what neighbors could think about the people whose cow does not want to come home!
I entered the cow house and saw with clairvoyance bright black spots in a corner and between the cow’s horns: spoiling!
I managed to wash them off with an energy stream flowing through my body.
But the next day… the cow fell ill: it had running eyes, nose…
The mistress cried: whatever problems the cow had, it was a cow — but now it is dying…
At that day we had to leave: our vacation was over. We left sad and confused.
But some days later we received a joyful letter: the cow has recovered! Now it willingly enters not only the cow house but the owner’s house too when overlooked, so that it is hard to push it out!
… Thus, the phenomenon of bioenergetic healing became a certain fact for us. The medical desire to help suffering people began to grow in me again. It called for increasing our healing abilities. Following the invitation of that yogi — an acquaintance of mine — we came to him to practice hatha yoga.
Thanks to conducting the healing practice our healing abilities were growing, new healing methods appeared. In particular, it turned out that in healing one can use chakras apart from hands. We started to seek new methods of chakra development.
In parallel, out broadness of outlook was growing thanks to reading the samizdat publications on bioenergetics and yoga.
We had to part with the hatha yoga instructor: his interest moved to the stories about yeti, he began to drink alcohol, though he preached lately a nonalcoholic way of life; he began to eat meat, though he preached lately the opposite. His energetics soon became so coarse that it was hard to have contacts to him… The energetical coarseness suppressing other people allowed him to enjoy his “power”, especially over women…
This is how people turn towards hell.
… One day I met him with a spinning rod:
“Why?…”
“What’s wrong? I help them to reincarnate.”
A yogi-killer?
Or not a yogi at all?
Before we parted with him he acquainted us with a woman-medium. Through her we received the next impulses for advancement.
