“Arise, prophet, and leader, and listen, Do my will…. “Rise up, prophet and leader and listen, Be fulfilled by my will... Be fulfilled by my will meaning of the word

Already in 1830, Pushkin’s position was defined quite categorically: he knows that “the noise of enthusiastic praise” quickly passes and then “you will hear the judgment of a fool and the laughter of a cold crowd, But you remain firm, calm and gloomy.” The verses sounded like a spell:

Go along the free road where your free mind takes you, Improving the fruits of your favorite thoughts, Without demanding rewards for a noble feat. They are in you. You are your own highest court...

There is no need to prove that the poetic formula - "God's command" - is devoid of even a shadow of religiosity in its church understanding - this is a characteristically Pushkin symbol. The “Monument” absorbed the energy and symbolism of the “Prophet”. “God’s Command” is a capacious, multi-valued image; it asserted the poet’s freedom from all earthly authorities - power, criticism, light; it was as if he was giving him a safe conduct, making him not subject to the requirements, norms, and regulations of people.

Undoubtedly, in 1836 Pushkin perfectly understood the social essence of bourgeois parliamentarism and bourgeois democracy. Ultimately, it is possible that in the poem “From Pindemonti” Pushkin expresses this thought. But it is unacceptable to reduce the meaning of the poem, with its deep philosophy, aesthetically programmatic, characteristically Pushkin understanding of the position of the poet and his place in society, in the “state,” to an “expression of the individual’s dissatisfaction with bourgeois parliamentarism.

We must not forget that the main and leading theme of the poem is defending the poet’s loyalty to his gift, the implementation of which requires freedom and independence. Pushkin the poet, living in Russia, knew well the fatality of dependence on the tsar.

The “Monument” motif receives its final completion in the poem “From Pindemonti”. The poet’s idea that he is not subject to anyone, writes freely, accepting praise and glory with indifference, is repeated in a different context, on a different level in the final poem: “Do not bend your conscience, your thoughts, your neck...” Thus, the compositional ring is closed, the cycle gained integrity and independent existence.

The inclusion of “Monument” in the cycle, of course, may again raise objections. First of all, the question arises: why didn’t Pushkin put numbers on his autograph? This question cannot be ignored - it requires an answer. Apparently there were several reasons. But. Do not forget about one thing - about the time of writing: poems that do not have numbers. Both “When outside the city, thoughtfully, I wander” and “Monument” were written last - the first on August 14, the second on August 21. Obviously, the idea of the cycle was born earlier, when four poems were written in June-July. Then the poet put the numbers, thereby determining their place, the order of arrangement in the cycle, in which, he had already decided, there should be two more poems - they would took I and V places. But after writing the last two poems in August, it became clear to Pushkin that no one would allow him to publish the created cycle. That's why these two autographs were not numbered.

Indeed, there was nothing to even think about publishing “Monument”. And Pushkin was not mistaken. “Monument” was published in 1841 (in volume IX of the posthumously published collected works of Pushkin) and only after Zhukovsky made changes that distorted its meaning. Instead of “He ascended higher by the head of the rebellious Alexandria Pillar,” it was printed: “He ascended higher by the head of the rebellious Napoleon Pillar.” The fourth, central stanza suffered the most - Zhukovsky decisively corrected the text:

And for a long time I will be kind to those people, That I awakened good feelings with the lyre, That I was useful with the charm of living poetry, And called on mercy for the fallen.

“Arise, prophet, and leader, and listen, Do my will...”

“A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.”

Prayers and Meditations

At the very beginning of the day we ask God:

God, guide my thoughts in the right direction,

Especially spare me from self-pity,

Dishonorable actions, greed.

Show me all day long

What should be my next step?

Give me everything I need to solve problems.

Free me from selfishness.

I don't control my life.

May I do Your will.

Second Step Question (page 52, BC AA):

We had to fearlessly face the proposition: “Is God everything or is He nothing? Is there a God or is He not? What is our choice?

Third step. Decision-making:

God, I have made a decision that in this drama of life, You will be my Guide.

You are my Master, I am the doer of Your will.

I made a decision to give (entrust, entrust)

Your will; Direction in life; And life itself

In Your caring hands.

Third Step Prayer (61 pages, BC AA):

Lord, I surrender myself to You to create and create with my participation, as You please. Free me from the bonds of selfishness so that I can better do Your will. Remove what weighs me down, so that this victory will be a testimony to those whom I wanted to help, relying on Your Power, Your Love and understanding of the path You have destined. May Your Will be fulfilled forever and ever!

Prayer of the Fourth Step (evil person) (page 65, BC AA):

God, I understand that (Name) who harmed me was possibly spiritually sick, although I don’t like the symptoms of his illness and the way (Name) hurt me, he was spiritually sick just like me. God help me treat him with the same tolerance, love and compassion with which I would treat (treat) a sick friend. (Name) offended me. He is a sick man, how can I help him? God help me forgive him. I want to do Your will!

Fourth Step Prayer for Fear (page 67, BC AA):

We allow Him to show through us what He can do. We ask Him to remove our fear and focus our attention on who He wants us to be. And we immediately feel that we are beginning to outgrow fear.

Fourth Step Prayer-Meditation on Sex (pages 68-69, BC AA):

We analyzed each relationship as to whether it was selfish or not. We asked God to help us develop ideals and live in accordance with them. We remembered that our sexual abilities were given to us by God and therefore are a blessing that should not be used frivolously or selfishly, but also should not be treated with contempt or disgust.

By meditating, we ask God to tell us what we should do in each specific situation. The correct answer will come if we want it.

Let's summarize everything that has been said about sex. We sincerely pray to gain the right ideals, to be guided by the Higher Power in all difficult situations, to gain sanity and do the right thing.

Sixth Step Questions and Prayer (page 73, BC AA):

We emphasized everywhere that we cannot do without readiness. Are we ready now for God to free us from everything that we consider undesirable for ourselves? Can he free us from all this? If we are still clinging to something that we do not want to let go, then we ask God to help us find that willingness.

Seventh Step Prayer (page 74, BC AA):

I want (ready; ask;), my Creator, for You to accept me with everything that is in me, both good and bad. I ask You to free me from all the shortcomings of my character that prevent me from being useful to You and others. Give me strength when I leave here to do Your will. Amen

Prayer of the Eighth and Ninth Steps (page 77, BC AA):

To gain spiritual experience, we decided to make any sacrifices, we turned to God with a request to give us strength and indicate the direction of action in order to accomplish our plans, whatever the consequences of this for us.

Tenth step (page 82, BC AA):

We continue to observe selfishness, dishonesty, resentment and fear. When they appear, we immediately ask God to deliver us from them. We discuss it with someone immediately and correct mistakes quickly if we have caused harm to anyone. Then we turn our thoughts decisively to those we can help.

Love and tolerance for others is our code.

Every day is a day when we must bring a visualization of God's will into all our actions. “How can I best serve You? Let Your will (and not mine) be done.”

In the evening, meditation and prayer on the Eleventh Step (page 83 of BC AA):

When we go to bed, we constructively evaluate our day. Have we been filled with resentment throughout the day, selfish or dishonest, or perhaps fearful? Or should we apologize to someone? Perhaps we have something hidden to ourselves that should be discussed with someone immediately? Have we shown love and kindness to everyone around us? What could we do better? Maybe we mainly think only about ourselves? Or did we think about what we could do for others, about our contribution to the general flow of life? Just don't give in to worry, remorse, or gloomy thoughts, because in this case our ability to benefit others is reduced. Having remembered the events of the day, we ask God for forgiveness and ask Him how we can correct our mistakes.

Father, help me put aside everything I know: About you; About life; About the 12 steps, sobriety

And be open to Your new revelations.

Grant me: willingness, an open mind and impeccable honesty; God, help me stop obsessing over myself and my head; And teach to love and serve others.

I stopped fighting anyone or anything, even alcohol.

I stopped fighting with ... ... ...

I pray only for knowledge of Your will for me, and for Your power to carry out that will.

Because my dilemma is the lack of strength (I need Your strength).

I am not cured of alcoholism (drug addiction, addiction, codependency). In fact, what I do have is a one-day reprieve of the sentence, contingent on the maintenance of my spiritual condition.

Lord, grant that I do not judge myself or others. You sent me into this world not to judge, but to love.

live and let others live
love and tolerance is our code

Our Father in heaven

Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done; And on earth as in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our debts; Just as we forgive our debtors; And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever.

Prayer of peace of mind and humility.

God, give me humility and peace of mind,

Accept what I can't change (today)

Courage to change what I can (today)

And the wisdom to distinguish one from the other.

Live in today (live one day and then another)

Enjoy one moment (and then another moment)

Be where I am or I'll miss out on life

Accept difficulties as a path to peace.

Accept this world as it is,

And not the way I want him to be.

Trusting that you will turn everything around for the better

When I submit to Your will.

So that I can be reasonably happy in this life

And supernaturally happy with You in the next (coming/future).

An expanded prayer for peace of mind:

God, give me reason and peace of mind,

Accept what I can't change

Courage to change what I can and

Wisdom to distinguish one from another,

Patience with things that take time

Gratitude for everything I have

Tolerance towards spiritually suffering people,

Freedom to live outside the constraints of my past

The ability to feel Your love for me and my love for others

And the strength to get back on your feet and start all over again,

Even when I feel (it seems to me) that it is hopeless.

Prayer of Saint Francis

Lord, make Your peace and tranquility come down to people through me:

So that where there is hatred, I bring love

Where there is evil, I brought the spirit of forgiveness

Where there is discord, I brought harmony

Where there are misconceptions, I brought the truth

Where there are doubts, I brought faith

Where there is despair, I brought hope

Where there is shadow, I brought light

Where there is sadness, I brought joy,

Teach me to quickly search for how to:

Comfort, rather than being consoled

To understand, not to be understood

To love, not to be loved

For by forgetting about yourself, you gain.

By forgiving others, you receive forgiveness.

When you die, you awaken to eternal life.

Prayer of the Optina Elders

God, let me meet with peace of mind everything that the coming day will bring me. Let me surrender myself entirely to Your holy will. For every hour of this day, instruct and support me in everything. Whatever events happen during the day, teach me to accept them with a calm soul and the firm conviction that everything is Your holy will. Guide my thoughts and feelings in all words and deeds. In all unforeseen cases, do not let me forget that everything was sent down by You. Teach me to act directly and wisely with each member of my family, without embarrassing or upsetting anyone. Guide my will and teach me to pray, believe, be patient, thank, love and forgive everyone. Amen.

God! Give me reason.

God, give me reason and peace of mind

accept what I can't change

courage to change what I can,

and the wisdom to distinguish one from the other!

Let Your will be done, not mine.

To accept the things I cannot change

Courage to change the things I can

And wisdom to know the difference

In the English version there are no words: “Thy will be done, not mine,” so you can pronounce it at your own discretion.

By pronouncing this word, I acknowledge the existence of a Higher Power, which has capabilities incomparably greater than I.

This word contains an acknowledgment that a Higher Power has the ability to bestow and bring something to me and to others.

I am making a request for myself. Scripture affirms that if you ask sincerely, it will be given to you. There is no mistake in asking for improvement in your inner qualities. If my character improves, then I and those around me will become happier, and my relationships with the world will also improve.

I ask for calm, moderation and peace of mind for my life, so that I can push the boundaries of my self, reason correctly and manage my actions properly.

I come to terms with the conditions that exist in my life now. I live in the present, I live here in this specific place and at this specific moment.

I recognized that any tragedy, death, suffering, illness and pain is an integral part of my life, a part that is neither bad nor good, like any element. I accept my limitations and fallibility. I accept my lot as it fell to me. Until I have the courage to change that part of life that I don't like, I must accept it without any dissatisfaction.

I cannot prevent these events or

conditions that will cause them to happen to me or to other people.

A quality that will allow me, when faced with problems and the reality of life, to do without alcohol and drugs. Unshakable determination to remain “without a single sip, facing all events that could lead me back to drunkenness. The strength of my spirit that allows me to withstand a collision with an obstacle. Fearlessness in mastering faith, modesty and honesty.

When confronted with the negative aspects of my life, which I evaluate directly and impartially, I ask that I myself and the conditions of my life become different. I take an active position in these changes.

I ask you to help me make the right decision. I would like everything that bothers me to be removed from my life. I must constantly face reality and constantly strive for my own spiritual growth.

I ask you to give me the strength to rise above my “I” and with a new look to fairly evaluate myself and my life. And then, with the help of this new quality, move on through life, finding a common language with yourself, others and the Higher Power.

DISTINCTION ONE FROM ANOTHER

I want to always clearly understand the true state of affairs. I want to be able to discern everything that applies to me and become more aware of the meaning of what happens to me and to other people. I need to feel how much more valuable it is to love others than to live only by myself.

By saying this simple prayer, we each time manage to perform a certain spiritual gesture that leads us to the idea of unity, security, and meaningfulness of existence.

Prayer is effective if it is moral, if we do not ask the Higher Power to give us more, but to help us become better. We follow the desire not to live better, but to be better. Before, we always wanted to live better. Feeling that alcohol gave us a feeling of a better life, we began to consume it in such quantities that our very lives were threatened. Therefore, now we have a different desire. It is expressed in the willingness to change oneself, to change the way of life. However, it is impossible to do this yourself without help from above. We ask for help by turning to a Higher Power and receive it.

You need to be able to pray. Probably no one succeeds in such spiritual exercises right away. Especially to such inveterate skeptics and atheists as we were. But knowledgeable people say: nothing enlightens the soul more than concentrated Prayer. You need to learn how to turn to God, and success will be ensured, the main thing should be the principle

“Thy will be done, not mine”

The articles you are interested in will be highlighted in the list and displayed first!

The poet always, voluntarily or unwittingly, comes into contact with state power. From this, as history has shown, nothing good comes of it for the poet and nothing useful for the authorities.

However, the hope for an enlightened ruler never left the people of art. Therefore, Alexander Pushkin turns to Nicholas the First, who had just ascended the throne, with a peculiar interpretation of “Felitsa”, addressed at one time by G. Derzhavin to Catherine the Second. The poet gives advice to the king, reminds him, teaches him a little, flatters him a little, and asks for just a little. No longer believing in an enlightened monarchy, the poet hopes at least for a “kindly” one. You need to have a certain courage and enormous talent to teach the monarch, but still A. Pushkin makes some moral compromise, drawing a parallel between the “rebellions and executions” of the “beginning of the glorious days of Peter” and the bloody end of the Decembrist uprising, where most of the victims were close to the poet people. Cruel? But, firstly, A. Pushkin was a true son of his era (monarchical, for let us remember Pushkin’s “slavery that fell due to the tsar’s mania”). Secondly, the poet, setting such a high bar for Nicholas the First, wants to soften the fate of his friends by instilling in the monarch that it is possible to “attract hearts with truth” and “tame morals with science.” However, one cannot blame the poet for wanting to see a tsar with a wise soul on the throne: an educated, conscientious autocrat is the ideal of the Russian people.

In our time, the idea that the most perfect works of poetry survive the time of their creation and that in the spiritual life of mankind poetry has immeasurably greater significance than the exploits of kings and conquerors seems self-evident. It was not like that under Pushkin. Ruling Russia valued human dignity and civic merit according to the table of ranks, but its creator, Peter I, did not provide for the rank of poet. This Russia expressed its attitude towards Pushkin through the mouth of the Minister of Education S.S. Uvarov. When he learned that in the “Literary Supplements” to the newspaper “Russian Invalid” a short notice of Pushkin’s death was published, beginning with the words: “The sun of our poetry has set!”, he ordered the editor of the newspaper to be summoned to the censorship committee and given a stern reprimand. “Why this publication about Pushkin? What is this black frame around the news of the death of a non-official person who did not occupy any position in the public service... “The Sun of Poetry!!” - For mercy's sake, what is this honor for? “Pushkin died... in the middle of his great career!” What kind of field is this? Was Pushkin a commander, a military leader, a minister, a statesman?! Writing poems does not yet mean... going through a great race!

Looking at the poem: “I have erected a monument to myself, not made by hands, The people’s path to it will not be overgrown,” we can see that one of the main themes of the poem, in my opinion, is the theme of the king and the poet, the earthly ruler and the ruler of thoughts. A genius, with his creativity, erects a “monument not made by hands” for himself during his lifetime, because he is the voice of the people, their prophet. Not just anyone, but he himself erected a monument to himself. Hence the repeated “I” over and over again. Pushkin lived and worked in a “cruel age.” He was proud that his poetry was free, calling for political and spiritual freedom. The Alexandria Pillar is the tallest column in the world, the personification of obedience to the king and the power of the king himself. Pushkin was a courtier of the lowest rank, and at the same time he was a man of the highest calling and destiny. So what does “above the pillar of Alexandria” mean? This can also be interpreted as a victory of the “mysterious singer” over censorship, a victory over autocracy. Pushkin compares two monuments, a material monument and a spiritual monument. The poet comes into conflict with the “idol” of his time. Morally, Pushkin defeated this autocratic “idol” with the power of poetic words and high spirituality. Pushkin really conquered time and space

Disappointment in poetry, inspired by years of exile, passes, and the poet realizes that people need poetry. The hero of the poem “The Prophet” is reborn from a person tormented by “spiritual thirst” into a poet-prophet. Now his goal is to burn “the hearts of people” with a “verb,” because the whole power of the poet lies in the verb. The poem was written during a difficult period for the poet - in 1826, in those days when the government was deciding his personal fate. “The Prophet,” as the title implies, is oriented toward a historical perspective. “The Prophet” is somewhat delayed, but perhaps the most striking evidence of overcoming the spiritual crisis of 1823-1825 at its most painful site. We often compare two poems by Pushkin - “The Prophet” and “The Poet”. However, it is worth emphasizing the difference in the names and the difference in the created images of the poets. The lyrical hero in “The Poet” is a dual character, while in “The Prophet” the hero is the ideal image of the poet. In “The Prophet,” the hero first appears in the form of an ordinary person, then we observe his reincarnation, in fact, into a prophet. This transformation occurs quite quickly, without any long pauses or stops, as evidenced by the constantly repeating conjunction “and”:

And the sting of the wise snake

My frozen lips

He put it with his bloody right hand.

And he cut my chest with a sword,

And he took out my trembling heart,

And coal blazing with fire,

I pushed the hole into my chest.

After the so-called transformation, initially a person becomes a perfect poet - able to see, hear, speak, feel differently, like a true poet-prophet. However, it is worth remembering that the prophet speaks on behalf of God, and not what he feels or wants to say himself, but also the poet is given a gift from above, from God. The lyrical hero will “burn the hearts of people with a verb” by the will of God, which means that after reincarnation he no longer belongs to himself, from now on he is a herald of lofty thoughts, some divine ideas. The poem “Prophet” is solemn, it sounds like an ode, its vocabulary is high (“spiritual thirst”, “angels’ flight”, “God’s voice”). Also in the “Prophet” there is an image that in mythology is a symbol of the messenger of the gods:

The prophetic eyes opened

Like a frightened eagle.

The work is based on the motives of Chapter VI of the biblical book of the prophet Isaiah. The ancient Hebrew seers were often bold and fearless accusers, so it was not for nothing that the poet spoke in their language, using menacing, ponderous Church Slavonic words. However, Pushkin goes far from the plot of Holy Scripture, depicting allegorically the prophetic purpose of the poet.

The motif of a traveler in the desert appears in the poem, associated with Pushkin’s personal experiences, which also arose on the basis of his work on oriental images of the Koran. The motif of the prophet was also not new; it was outlined in the poet’s previous lyrics. In the same poem, both motifs are combined and reinterpreted.

A traveler, dragging through a dark desert and already tormented by spiritual thirst, a thirst for cleansing feelings and thoughts from filth, turns into a prophet, capable of revealing to people the highest truth, burning the hearts of people with a verb. He penetrates into the secrets of nature, acquiring new hearing, new vision, a new heart - “coal” blazing with fire, that is, he is transformed, becomes completely different.

However, the prophet, who has doomed new senses, is for the time being between life and death - “like a corpse in the desert I lay.” And only “God’s voice” awakens him to life, breathing both life and spirit into him.

It is clear that in order to become different, you need to get rid of your former self, a sinful and weak person, or, more precisely, to die. Only then will another be born, fulfilling the will of God. That is why the end of the poem sounds so powerful, acquiring a public declaration:

Arise, prophet and leader, and listen,

Be fulfilled by my will,

And, bypassing the seas and lands,

Burn the hearts of people with the verb.

The construction of phrases in the poem “Prophet” is unusual. Since the poet reproduces a biblical story, depicting in it the birth of a prophet from a common man, it is interesting to follow the syntax. But the poet is still a slave, only a conductor between the world of gods and the world of people. This is exactly what we see in the poem “Poet”:

But only a divine verb

It will touch sensitive ears,

The poet's soul will stir,

Like an awakened eagle. Pushkin again shows the poet’s inconstancy; he does not control himself and, at the first call, obeys the “divine verb.” On the other hand, it is from this moment that the “dynamic life” of the poet begins. Before inspiration came, he “tasted a cold dream” and was inactive. All he has is “sensitive hearing.” The poet’s task is to hear and convey to people the “verb” of the gods. He is a prophet on earth, because it is through him that the Gods convey their orders to people. This is his mission on earth.

What makes people create, be creative? Where does the desire to create something come from? In a broad sense, where does the initial impulse to act in a person come from? (After all, any action is a kind of creativity. Even if the action is aimed at destruction rather than creation, it changes the picture of the world, which means on the scale of the whole, even an act of destruction looks like just another adjustment, another stroke on the universal canvas.)

It is obvious that in most cases, in order for something to happen (create), a conscious or unconscious desire for change must arise. For example, a person is dissatisfied with the current situation, wants things to be different, wants to avoid something or achieve some goal. He wants to change his life (or the life, for example, of his nation or even humanity), improve it, overcome the current state of affairs. It's clear. But what is this desire to “change” the situation? Where does it come from?

As a rule, it looks like something spontaneous. A person first feels some kind of unconscious discomfort, some kind of call, something strives to change his position, pick up a pen, paper, paints, camera. He calls this something "inspiration." Or, for example, he just wants to meet someone, have a nice time, cook something tasty to eat - in short, change something, achieve some goal.

If you look closely at such moments of “inspiration” that precede action, you will notice that at these moments a person does not feel satisfied, self-sufficient, complete, or whole. He needs to restore this missing integrity. And he finds a goal, the achievement of which, hypothetically, will help him become whole again.

What is behind this feeling of lack of integrity? After all, man is created in the image and likeness of God, which means such qualities as perfection and integrity are also inherent in him. Where then does the feeling of imperfection and the desire to create something come from?

The fact is that a person, if he is perceived as a being separate from God (as he most often perceives himself), has imperfect aspects that exist in time, subject to change, aging, transformation. These aspects are body and mind. For convenience and accuracy, we will call them “body-mind”, since they actually constitute a single mechanism.

Manifesting in the image of a person, God (aka Consciousness, Life, the Absolute, etc.) plays at limitations and overcoming these boundaries - he is identified with the body and, with the help of the brain and sense organs, begins to perceive himself from the position of perception “from this body.” He “invents” himself as a separate “I”, possessing the appearance of free will, individual needs, desires and interests. And he seems to forget about his perfection, limitlessness and immortality. God pretends to be a man with all his imperfections, accepts self-limiting conditioning, based on which he believes in what is “good” and what is “bad”, as a result of which he immediately develops preferences (mainly - so that it is like “good” and not How bad"). This is how Adam loses paradise (picks an apple). So that later throughout the history of mankind we can look for (and in some cases find) our way back home. Odysseus (the same Adam) experiences many adventures, hardships, suffering, obstacles, and experiences. A whole epic of formation. To return back to Ithaca of existence.

Most events in the manifest world of development (including most human actions and incentives to create or destroy something) arise as a result (reflection) of internal psychophysiological processes. These psychophysiological processes are the result of genetic programs, as well as emotional states largely determined by these programs, which, through repeated repetitions, have become our second nature (habit). Over time, these old emotions literally entered our blood and flesh, becoming traits of our characters. The totality of emotional blocks (and the corresponding unconscious mental programs and attitudes) and their interaction with each other constitutes the human personality (ego) and shapes his destiny.

Many of these emotional blocks and associated mental attitudes have their roots in events that happened to us in early childhood. And our current behavior (reactions, actions, interactions, lifestyle and context of life) stems from them. All these things are recorded in the brain in the form of neural circuits, and also in the body - in the form of physical tensions (clamps) and chemical reactions. As a result, the life of most adults (after 30 years) is 90 percent a well-functioning automatic process. The body literally becomes an automaton for the production of a strictly defined chemical set of substances and reactions. The result of these reactions is the life that this “body-mind” mechanism lives, the events that happen to it, and the actions that it performs. Including his “creations”. This is how our conditioning works.

Moreover, this predetermination and automaticity can be changed, because we are always free to stop identifying with these processes, to become aware of them and thereby stop feeding them, as a result of which they gradually die off. This is a very interesting topic, but I will not present it in detail here (I will refer those interested to the book by Dr. Joe Dispenza, “The Power of the Subconscious Mind.”

From what has been said here so far, this follows: the desire to become someone, achieve something, possess something, do (create) something (preferably something important and cool) is the opposite the side of an unconscious (in most cases), but very strong feeling of one’s own inferiority, inferiority, incompleteness, insolvency. And all these desires to “create”, all our desires to “achieve” are simply an attempt to escape from these feelings of inadequacy and the emotional states that accompany them. This is what makes most people do something (whatever it is - work from morning to night, write poetry, prose, journalism, use drugs, watch and make films, blog, record video messages, update Facebook and Instagram, engage in politics, have sex, take photographs, in short - to assert oneself in some way).

However, such creativity, resulting from an attempt to escape, is not genuine creativity. And, in any case, it is not clean.

The best works of art (and achievements) were not created from here. True creativity is not based on fear and feelings of inadequacy, but on love and fullness. It does not need spurring stimuli and motives born from the desire to escape from its imperfections, from pain and agony. True works of art (I wrote about them and their elements, which sometimes appear even in “impure” works) arise from completeness, love and lightness.

But this is a large part of the process of human evolution - we act and move to escape and hide from “ourselves” (from what we consider ourselves to be, from what we have filled ourselves with). From all our “needs” and “don’ts,” from all “I want” and “I don’t want,” from all “they will judge me,” “I don’t live up to expectations,” “they won’t accept me, they won’t appreciate me, they won’t love me.”

I’ll say it more directly: if you (try to admit this to yourself) are spurred on to creativity, for example, by the feeling that you are not doing what you could (or should) do, or, say, shame, guilt, fear of appearing weak, desire to prove something, to achieve something, a veiled or explicit desire for praise and approval, etc. - then the fruits of your creativity will contain the seed of lack of freedom and bitterness. Such a creation will be basically unreal, inanimate, although perhaps technically advanced and masterful. This creativity will be full of pain, the mustiness of the past, despair, dirt, destruction, complexes. It will be like a cemetery, like a corpse. Even if in form it turns out to be positive and “beautiful”. There will be no freshness and novelty in it (or almost none, unless Spontaneity sporadically intervenes in the process of such creation and does not momentarily transform dirt into beauty, pain into love, and so on, which, fortunately, does often happen).

Usually at the root of this vague (and often quite distinct) call to create something lies a latent desire to create something important, to leave a significant mark on history. In essence, this is the desire of the time-limited human mind to “preserve”, the fear of death, the desire for immortality. To that immortality, which is initially inherent in the Source of the mind, God, but is not inherent in the mind as a small limited instrument, with the help of which God forgets himself in a specific individual body, and then cognizes himself again.

Of course, any fear is also an expression of love - love of life, an unconscious desire for one’s true timeless, incorruptible constant original nature. That is, any creativity is ultimately an act of love. But mostly this love manifests itself through fear and confusion. We can say that human creativity (a significant part of it) is an act of longing for original love, an unconscious desire for love, for eternal life. The desire to escape from fears, to escape from hell, the agony of pain and suffering, a plea for forgiveness and permission to return to a lost paradise. Songwriter Yegor Letov, when asked why he doesn’t have love songs, replied: “All my songs are about love. More precisely about how bad it is when she’s not there.”

Osho has repeatedly said that “God is imperfect.” In this context: “Nothing is perfect. Imperfection has its own beauty because in imperfection there is life. If something is perfect, life will disappear from it. Life can only exist when something remains imperfect and needs improvement. Life is a desire to perfect the imperfect.” Osho, of course, was referring to God's ability to identify with form and temporality, the ability to play at it, the ability to pretend to be an evolving separate being. Life as an evolutionary process of becoming. God is so perfect that He can even allow Himself to express Himself as imperfect, unfinished, moving, changing, being born and dying. It is all-encompassing and includes every potential, every idea and concept, even ideas like “time”, “suffering” and “death”.

Most people are controlled by emotions, whether they want it or not, whether they admit it to themselves or hide it from themselves. Emotion is initially an impersonal movement of life force, energy. Being perceived by the “body-mind” personally (that is, as something "what's happening to me"), this movement takes the form of a specific sensation, and then a thought-interpretation, which gradually (as similar situations are repeated) is fixed in the “body-mind” system as an unconscious mental attitude. Mental attitudes are thoughts that have become beliefs, and already unconscious ones, that is, they are supported by blind faith, and therefore act latently and imperceptibly, are not realized, but are blindly accepted as a given. Such attitudes and beliefs are usually reproduced again and again as soon as something happens that at least somewhat resembles the composition of the circumstances of the event that first triggered the corresponding emotion. And after this, the same chemical scenario corresponding to this emotion begins to unfold in the body.

So, interpreting what is happening in the same way as we once did in similar circumstances (even if they are completely different, but have something in common), each time we bring to life similar living conditions and day after day we experience again and again your past. (Especially if this is associated with some unwanted emotion. We do not want a repetition of what was once experienced, but it is our reluctance that attracts this event, since experiencing this reluctance, we begin to think in the same way as then, that is, we activate those very mental attitudes that trigger precisely this unwanted emotion and generate a favorable environment for reproducing a similar event, which we did not want. Ouroboros.)

In a word, the repetition of the “emotion-thought-emotion” cycle gradually and gradually takes deep roots in us (at the neural and cellular levels), and the emotion becomes part of the “body-mind”, forming another layer of the layer cake called “personality”, in the center of which there is one single mental attitude, the original thought-belief “I am this body.”

You can look at it from the other side: the identification of Consciousness with the “body-mind” is a belief in the reality of experienced and experienced emotions and their constant reproduction, which has become a habit and has become a character.

The emotions lodged in the body are the history of the individual, this is the personality as such, believing in the reality of these stories and again and again and again experiencing and reproducing these stories. Without these stories there is simply no identity.

The key to freedom (and also to free, not automatic creativity) is to stop believing in the significance of these stories, to stop considering them to be yourself, to rise above all emotional and psychological states and the mental attitudes behind them. Stop giving them meaning and allow them to be experienced fully - without resistance, struggle and identification either with them or with the seemingly separate entity with which they occur. That is, in the literal sense, accept them, “carry your cross,” allowing everything to come and go, but without identifying with these stories (that is, without accepting emotions and other energetic movements of the manifested world as your own and yourself).

This is Christ’s “Thy will be done!” - readiness to even go to the cross, if this is exactly what needs to be lived as this specific moment. This is not even self-sacrifice, but complete trust, the search for the Kingdom of Heaven before all earthly goods.

“Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things: enough for each day is its own care.” (Matt. 6:24-34)

Desires and expectations are the result of conditioning, that is, the past. They were formed on the basis of “knowledge” of what is “good” and what is “bad”.

Desires and expectations are rooted in the past (which no longer exists, it has passed) and shift attention to the future (which does not yet exist).

Desires and expectations are associated with the hope that it will be exactly the way you want, and the belief that it should be the way you want.

Reasoning and feeling on the basis of your old knowledge about what is good for you and what is not, you, based on past experience, generate ever new expectations and desires and thereby reject what is, do not notice the present or argue with it.

I repeat once again: all ideas about how it SHOULD be (what you should be, what life should be, what this moment should be) are the result of mental attitudes from the past, that is, the result of conditioning. And trying to change what is happening based on this, trying to adjust the moment (life itself) to suit your ideas and plans - this is hell. Arguing with what is. Such “creativity” is doomed to failure.

Only without having any desires and expectations and no fixed knowledge at all, we return to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Jesus Christ “saved humanity from death” when he showed by his example that this was entirely possible for a human being.

Refusing the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Trusting entirely in the moment, in God, in Life, saying “Thy will be done,” humbling ourselves and not knowing anything other than what Is, we are again Adam and Eve, and we are in heaven. And without even knowing what is, but simply being with it, as it is (that is, without comparisons, without understanding what is happening, without stories, interpretations and comments).

But is it possible to create from such a state? Yes.

When you have only one desire left - the desire “Thy will be done!”, all other desires and expectations disappear. By ourselves. Only one desire remains - to be one with God, with life, with the flow of life. Be one with His will. And if this remaining desire is sincere and genuine and there are no more attempts behind it to retroactively fulfill anything else at the same time, then such a desire is immediately satisfied.

This happens simultaneously (and is already timeless). All other desires simply lose their strength and power over you, because they all come from conditioning, from the past. The desire to be with God, as God, to be one with Him - if it is desired by the whole being, and not just at the level of the mind - it empties the space for what Is, removing all fears and other voices and sounds of the past. This is acceptance and letting go. Not as some kind of spiritual practice, not as an exercise. And how is being. It is simply pure non-resistance to any emotions, thoughts or situations that previously seemed undesirable. This is the lack of fight against them. There is not a hint of a desire for any emotion or situation to go away or remain. It is simply pure awareness of the situation and living it completely, without any control, without struggle, without judgment and resistance. And this is “Golgotha”, this is “to bear your cross”, “to remain one with God”, this is “Ithaca”, home, this is “to hold on to the feet of the Guru”, “to be as I Am”, “ remain empty."

This is “Thy will be done!” And from here, from unity with God and his will, true creativity flows. Because you become synchronized with God's will, you become an empty flute in the hands of Krishna, a pure instrument for His incarnation, for His Creation, which happens in every moment. He creates through you. Right now, out of time. Your creations, your “intentions,” and indeed your every manifestation are inspired by God. And this You no longer exists as “you”. Everything, including you, becomes Him.

And only then can you truly create, truly live and truly be free.
