During the “Goals and Values” seminar, we will try to reconcile the two parameters of our consciousness that are related to our values and to our personal individual goal-setting. These two things are connected, and one depends on another. As a matter of fact, this dependence is the reason why the goals are not always achieved, or, if they are achieved, it’s done at random and with an absolutely unclear outcome.
“At the Chakra Breathing seminar, it was said that as much energy of earth and information of atman comes in, as much should come out of a person and be processed by him. Is this fair? Why doesn’t a person have the right to keep some of this energy and information?”
‘Periodically, I become aware that instead of sleeping, I am walking around my apartment outside my Physical body.’ This state is called Etheric projection. Our Etheric body has more abilities; it can transcend dense spaces, which the physical body cannot do. It can transcend spaces and travel through space, but not through time.
The 1st Course covers the Etheric body. The Etheric body is the first human subtle body that we will be working with.
“I recently heard that one of the European countries wants to substitute the term “women ” for “people who menstruate” at the legislative level. This term was first used by the author of Harry Potter. Could you explain what this means in terms of magic?” J.K. Rowling was certainly trolling them, but they didn’t have the wit to appreciate it. We are transitioning to a new operating system, and we need to change old paradigms.
All types of energetic damages are ailments of subtle bodies. The vulnerability of the subtle bodies to such damages depends on the amount of energy and information present within them.
“How can one recognize a master who truly practices in the Northern Tradition? How can one tell that he is not dealing with an imposter?” There is a very good way. It is to become a master yourself. Then nobody will be able to fool you.
“Whether there is a difference between soul and consciousness, and what kind?”
Of course, there is a difference. The soul is an informational structure, it is eternal and indivisible. It passes from one incarnation to another, it is a parcel of god’s consciousness. The consciousness is the result of the soul’s activity.
“What can cause a lack of power and energy for magical practice, and how can it be restored?”
There can be several reasons for this. They fall into two categories: external and internal. The internal reasons have to do with a kind of blockage within the consciousness that prevents the passage of certain currents of powers on which the magical discipline is based. The external reasons are caused by processes when currents are blocked intentionally or due to some fatal situation in the outside world.
“In the US, for several generations now, it has been customary to circumcise baby boys right after birth, pretty much all of them. A boy is born, gets circumcised, and then returns back to his mom. Could you tell us about the meaning behind these actions, and how these consequences can be eliminated?’
As you understand, once the foreskin is surgically removed, you can’t sew it back on, you can’t reverse the procedure. It is a secularly adapted Judaic ritual.
