Contacts with living nature are essential for spiritual growth. Retreats to the forest or to other natural landscapes are one of the important ways of “exposing” oneself to God so that He can teach us more effectively. “In forests seek My instructions!” [40: Leaves of the Morya’s Garden. Call]. This is where one can expand oneself as a consciousness over the harmony of the environment — in contrast to “sitting” in the head chakras while living in the city, “feeding” oneself with information about people’s earthly desires and getting polluted by energies of their negative emotions.
Although cities, being big cultural centers, are also necessary: there are libraries, as well as other excellent opportunities for intellectual development. It is also easier to find like-minded people and partners on the spiritual Path there.
It is also beneficial to expose the body to sunlight, especially in the morning when the sunlight is particularly tender. This light exists not only on the material plane, but also penetrates other — the subtlest — dimensions inside our multidimensional organisms, reviving them, filling them with its pure power.
It is good for people who live at high latitudes to have an “artificial sun” — a quartz lamp — and to have sun-baths at home. This is also a wonderful remedy for various diseases. For example, exposure to ultra-violet radiation can easily cure catarrhal infections if performed right after appearing of their first symptoms. Light burns on the chest and the back made with a quartz lamp — where mustard plasters are usually applied — make a cough go away quickly.
Summer and autumn is the time for collecting and storing mushrooms and wild berries, which are very important components of pure nutrition.
Any time of the year meditations can be performed at special places of power — zones that have a significant energy impact on human beings. They are very different and can be used depending on this for healing oneself, for talking to God, for refining the consciousness, for increasing personal psychoenergetic power or for dissolving oneself in God and Merging with Him.
… Early spring morning is the time when nature confers on us the greatest harmony and bliss — when birds start singing even before dawn and the entire space around us gets saturated with the energy of their love. Attuning to their state allows us to get closer to God and constitutes attainment of a certain level of refinement of the consciousness.
Those who like to sleep until late have much fewer opportunities for spiritual advancement.
… Sunset time in spring also provides a wide variety of the subtlest impressions. During this time the singing of birds gets superimposed against the background of sublime SILENCE, HARMONY. The energy of the consciousness “spills” out from the body by itself and expands over the forest saturated with bliss, filling it and merging with it. In this way the consciousness becomes more mobile, more fluid and established in harmony and inner purity.
… But at any other time of the year a morning or an evening spent in the forest or by the water reminds us of the spring dawn or dusk times. They are very important for those who have learned to deeply feel the beauty of spring!
… Nature also consists of a multitude of living beings: animals, plants, which, as a rule, are more refined as a consciousness and enjoy incomparably greater inner peace than most people. An average modern person has to come a long way in order to attain their level of LOVE and PEACE and has a right to say that he or she started to develop spiritually.
Moreover, only in open natural landscapes — in contrast to “boxes” of city apartments and “corridors” of streets — is it possible to expand, to open wide the refined consciousness in order to literally grow its size.
… Let me repeat that emotions are states of the consciousness. And the consciousness is what we are. Depending on what states of the consciousness we experience — we can be closer or farther from the Creator.
God in the aspect of the Creator is the highest degree of refinement of the energy of the consciousness. Is it clear to us now, which direction we should move regarding development of our emotional sphere?
… Very few people have witnessed what is going on at a display ground of black-grouses in spring, when pre-dawn mist gets filled with loud ecstatic singing of these big, beautiful, and passionate birds. But the majority of those who have been there, were cutting short those beautiful songs of love with gunshots, pain, blood, and death… And enjoyed themselves with voluptuousness of sadist-murderers.
Raised in the tradition of having a “right” to kill animals, not having absolute inner taboo against inflicting any suffering on other living beings, atheists, as well as members of mass sects in our country, easily switch to mass killings of people…
… In spring evenings, after the sunset, when twilight is enveloping the forest, male woodcocks fly smoothly over glades, forest openings and lakeshores overgrown with shrubs. Their song, consisting of beautiful, soul-touching tender “grunting”, sends to us waves of love emotions of these lovely birds. In the shrubs, over which the males fly, sit female woodcocks — choosing the one who sings the best… Here — this one! She flashes to show herself to him… He rushes after her, seized by passion of bird’s love… And then they spend the night together. In the morning they fly apart, having become tired of each other… — to look for new adventures and new friends at the next sunset…
