Spiritual laws. 14 main laws of human life

Spiritual laws of life. A very important and necessary topic.

If we take a house as an analogy, we are talking about the foundation. If the state is about its laws, without which it is impossible.

This is a very clear example. Why is it important? Because the topic of this article may seem completely unimportant and insignificant to many.

But try to imagine a house that was built on bare ground without a foundation? What will happen to him after a while? How long will it last? Remember the fairy tale about the three little pigs?

If you have already decided to build a house, then build it thoroughly according to all the rules and laws . And since we were born, then let’s live according to the laws of the world in which we have the good fortune to be.

• How to find the meaning of life?

Otherwise, your whole life will be nothing more than a straw house that will fly apart at any blow of the breeze. And it will constantly need to be patched or completely rebuilt.

The best meditation training for beginners. Learn to meditate in 10 practical lessons. It's free (!) My favorite course, amazingly sincere and accessible presentation of lessons from Igor Budnikov. It has been scientifically proven that meditation is CAPABLE OF TRANSFORMING LIFE, and you only have it. I recommend it with all my heart!

Spiritual laws are the basis on which life must be built.

Then neither winds, nor earthquakes, nor floods, nor droughts will be terrible. Your house of life will withstand everything and it will not matter to it.

Problems, stress, disappointments, resentments, betrayals, losses - nothing can shake the house of your life, because it will stand on a solid foundation.

By the way: you can read how to find peace of mind here, I can also advise where it’s best to relieve stress.

• How to stop being nervous and start living?

We need to look not at the outside of our world, which is constant and changeable, but inside ourselves - where everything comes from and where everything goes... To spiritual laws , which are eternal, constant and independent of any external circumstances.

Having built our lives according to these laws, we learn to see the external world in a completely different way and to perceive everything that happens in it differently, on a different level.

Spiritual laws, rules of life, cannot simply be taken and learned. These are not at all the rules to which we are accustomed.

Write “Zhi” and “shi” with the letter “i”. Memorized, memorized and that’s enough. But I can’t help but say that I once discovered the great power of words and language. I am happy to share this here.

Spiritual laws have a different nature and can only be understood by observing them and living by them. The more and more often we try to live according to the laws of the soul, the deeper and stronger we realize and understand their essence. The wider and stronger our connection with the inner world, with the soul, with God becomes.

Where do we start?

To understand what these laws are, you need to turn to religion, which, as they say, is “responsible” for the spiritual component of a person, although sometimes it is religion that is used for their own purposes by those who benefit from it. But that’s not about that now.

You need to be very careful with religion, because you can often encounter extremes and closedness, which can be dangerous without understanding why and why.

I defined it this way for myself. I follow what resonates in my soul , where I see the meaning and do not feel deception, falsehood, lies and substitution of concepts.

I do not understand the closedness of many religious teachings to other directions. That is, everything that is not from here is a lie, it is a myth, it is fiction and the road to nowhere. My understanding of true faith is here.

It is important for me not only to learn the laws of the soul, but also to understand why they are needed, why I should follow them . And this reason should not be a foreign body that I must accept simply because I have to.

No. This should be clear at the level of reason, at the level of intuition, there should be no resistance or rejection.

That is why I will start with Christianity and move on. Because it is in this religion, namely in its interpretation for ordinary people, that I see a problem for myself and these very rejections and misunderstandings.

Although in its essence Christianity is beautiful. As you read the Bible, each time you will discover more and more new meanings both for the world around you and for yourself.

Law of Humility

“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (Bible: James 4:6)

Sometimes, in order to move on, you just need to come to terms with it and calm down. Often, only in peace is the right decision and direction for the further path found.

Very often, in pursuit of some goal, we give ourselves, we fight, we go ahead, but in the end... we burn out, physically and emotionally, without achieving even a hundredth part of what we want. It is impossible to achieve everything all the time. This is pride and vanity. Such people in their lives come across resistance to Divine support. Just accept that you are not omnipotent and receive grace (that is, undeserved good) from Above for your life.

Christianity.

The main spiritual laws in Christianity.

What can be called the main law in Christianity?

That's right, commandments. Ten Commandments of Christianity.

What confuses me? No, not in the commandments themselves, of course, they in their essence carry the truth of life. I'm talking about causes and consequences, about conditions, about crime and punishment.

The commandments must be strictly observed, otherwise the soul will go to hell. They are thereby, as it were, torn away from our life on Earth. We must because there will be punishment after death.

Well, death is still perceived by a person in isolation from life. This is something we don’t want to think about because we want to live and not die. And we cannot as clearly and concretely perceive the punishments that may await us beyond the threshold of life, beyond which anything at all may await us. And it is very difficult to project what will happen next, behind the fog of ideas and expectations, onto real life.

Therefore, the commandments are perceived by us as being in isolation from our real life on earth. They are sometimes perceived simply as a deterrent.

But their meaning is still in our development and spiritual growth.

That is, we can say that we are forced to perform - led by the fear of punishment . There is no deep understanding of why . There is a lack of integrity in understanding. A negative attitude is formed.

In plain language, let’s just say that I don’t like the presentation of these great laws of human life.

The meaning of their observance should be closer to the person right here and now.

That's why I said at the very beginning of the article that this topic may not be at all important for many of us. And to be more precise, it is not recognized as important because it is cut off from us.

The commandments are there, in religion, in monasteries, in churches, but here I am, I need to live. If you want to live, know how to move around.

Let us still take Christian spiritual laws as a basis, because the value of the commandments is unspeakably high. And with this basis, let's move on and see what we can find in other traditions and religions. Maybe we can find something important there.

I’ll say right away that I found it for myself.

Ten Commandments of Christianity.

You can easily find God's commandments on the Internet. Let's look on Wikipedia.

Since there are more than one religions on Earth, in order not to offend anyone, let’s note for ourselves only those commandments that speak about a person’s relationship to himself and to the world around him (this is exactly what we are looking for today - spiritual laws of life ).

But let’s omit those commandments that talk about the name of God, about honoring God, about the days of the week, and so on. Today I am trying to find commonality, and not the other way around.

• Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
• Dont kill.
• Don't commit adultery.
• Don't steal.
• Do not bear false witness against your neighbor.
• Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house; You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.

So, to love and honor our father and mother - our life is extended by following this law.

Don't kill. What is important is that there are no additional notes here that some people are still allowed, but others are not. For example, people are not allowed, but animals are allowed. No. Don't kill at all. Very clear.

Don't commit adultery. That is, do not cheat on your wife or husband. Again, without explanations or additions. Everything is very clear.

I have an interesting article about abstaining from sex, which turns out to be necessary.

Don't steal and don't lie. Don't covet anything that belongs to others.

In addition to the commandments, there are eight main sins in Christianity. We must definitely note them and under no circumstances miss them.

Gluttony, fornication, greed, anger, sadness, despondency, vanity, pride are also things that should not be done.

Before reading further, you may want to take a moment to think about which of these are present in your life.

So, these were the main spiritual laws of the life of a Christian.

Law of Creation

“And God created man in His own image, in the image of God” (Bible: Genesis 1:27)

God is the Creator of people. And He invested this ability to create in every person. First you create something in your thoughts, and then it goes into the physical world. You come up with something, hatch an idea, and then embody it in a material way! Therefore, it is VERY IMPORTANT to watch what you are thinking.

According to scientific estimates, about 10,000 thoughts rush through a person’s head during the day! Which ones do you use to create and create something useful for yourself and the world? Or do you constantly replay negativity in your head and wonder why there are only failures in your life? Think positively, create your thinking, and receive your beautiful reality.

Buddhism.

Spiritual laws of Buddhism.

Let's move on to Buddhism. What do we find in this ancient Eastern tradition.

We also see the Ten Commandments . I will reflect here everything except the last one, which, as in the case of Christianity, directs us further to the symbols of Buddhism itself with its features as a faith.

Don't kill.

Don't steal.

Don't commit adultery.

Do not lie or slander.

So far there is an absolute coincidence with Christianity. Let's look further.

Do not use intoxicating substances. What do we mean by such substances? It's alcohol, smoking, drugs, right? Our body is perfect and our perception of the world only worsens under the influence of alcohol and tobacco, and not vice versa, as we think. It’s just that, in fact, we are accustomed to perceiving this world very superficially and incompletely, I would say. But it is possible to develop subtle and vivid perception without intoxicating substances.

I can recommend meditation. In particular, a simple breathing meditation, Tonglen meditation, which is practiced by the Dalai Lama. And here I must definitely mention pranayama and one of the pranayama techniques.

Don't gossip about other Buddhists. I left it too because the emphasis here is on gossip and not on Buddhists. The word Buddhist can be safely replaced with “man”. Don't gossip!

Do not exalt yourself and do not humiliate others. In other words, arrogance.

Don't be stingy with those in need. In other words, compassion and generosity.

Do not hold a grudge and do not incite evil.

Also in Buddhism there are pramitas - six actions that, when performed, lead a person to enlightenment - the highest point of spiritual development.

Six Pramitas of Buddhism.

Generosity. Agree that most people are greedy and greedy. Generosity is a completely opposite concept.

The law of karma always exists, no matter what. (here is an article about karma) It is by showing generosity to the world around you and to those living in it that you can fully experience the manifestation of the world’s generosity towards you.

Ethics. It means understanding and realizing the meaning of your life. Not to live meaninglessly, thoughtlessly, but to understand why, and learn to understand what to do in order to live like this.

Patience. In everything.

Zeal. Down with laziness. We believe in our success, we believe in ourselves, we are not afraid to work and work towards our goal. And patience will help us.

Meditation. Develops calmness and concentration. It teaches you how to work with your own mind, a new vision of the world opens, and a deep sense of unity between yourself and God comes. The answer to why meditate is here.

Wisdom. This is the result of the previous five actions. After all, the meaning is in their sequence and interconnectedness. Opening up an understanding of the essence of the universe. Everything is one, everything is one. It is impossible to read and understand this. The sixth pramita can only be achieved by fully observing the first five.

Look, there is already a principle of interconnection here! , what is important. That is, there is an understanding of the meaning in what we do, there is a goal. Great.

Let's take a brief look at Taoism and Hinduism.

Dead

From the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, we know that both those in hell and those in heaven see the earth and see everything that is in it.

Not only saints can be addressed in prayer. Anthony of Sourozh, when it was difficult for him, prayed to his deceased mother, and she always helped him.

There are especially frequent cases when deceased mothers help their children. This suggests that all those who have been saved constantly care about people - and so continue to do good in paradise.

When I served as a watchman at the Church of the Nativity of Christ, the following incident occurred. One day a 12 year old boy came to the temple and asked for food. We fed him and he told us about himself. Some time ago his mother died, and he lived with his grandmother. But he didn’t like it there, he dropped out of school and went to wander. The boy has been wandering around the city for a month now. We managed to convince him to enter the temple and pray for his mother. He came in and stood there for half a minute. When he came out, he said that he had already prayed. And left. And the next morning he came running to us and said that his mother came to him at night and asked for two things: that he go to school (which meant returning to his grandmother) and that he attend church every Sunday.

But our prayers also help the dead.

Metropolitan Veniamin Fedchenkov testifies that in Serbia he knew a man who read the Gospel for the dead. One day this man saw the soul of the deceased, near which there were demons. They pushed each other to take the soul, but could not go. They angrily told each other: “We can’t go – they are reading the Book there.”

Hinduism and its spiritual rules.

Ten Precepts.

Patience.

Forgiveness.

Self-control and self-restraint. This is otherwise called asceticism. I have an article about this. This prescription, in my opinion, is very general. That is, it also concerns patience and, for example, from Christianity, gluttony, anger, lust (adultery). Many of the rules and commandments require self-restraint and self-control from us.

Don't steal.

Honesty and purity.

Sexual control and control of passions. Sexual energy is the basis of your development and success. Did you know about this? You can find out in the article on the website.

Knowledge of the truths of the sacred scriptures and spiritual knowledge.

Liberation from the evil within yourself.

Of the five basic commandments, we, on the same principle as above, can only take:

«Complete safety of all living beings»

Impact of the Spiritual World

It's constant. Before the Resurrection and Ascension, it was very difficult for Angels to help people.

The angel who appeared to the prophet Daniel says that he delayed for several weeks because the prince of Persia, that is, a demon operating in Persia, did not let him through. And only when Archangel Michael came to the rescue was the Angel able to come to Daniel.

After the Ascension, the enemy is deprived of its former power and cannot harm a Christian if he goes to God.

Now Angels and saints are constantly involved in the lives of many people. The goal is the salvation of people, the fulfillment of God’s desire: “so that everyone can be saved and come into the mind of truth.”

(Told by Archimandrite Cyprian, abbot of the monastery of St. Cyprian and Justina. Fili, Greece):

“About four years ago we received a call with a request to give the Holy Mysteries to an elderly woman, a widow living in the suburbs of Athens. She was an old calendarist and, being almost completely bedridden, could not go to church. Although we usually do not perform such services outside the monastery and direct people to the parish priest, nevertheless, in this case I had some feeling that I had to go, and, having prepared the Holy Gifts, I left the monastery.

I found a sick woman lying in a poor room: having no funds of her own, she depended on neighbors who brought her food and other necessary things.

I placed the Blessed Sacrament and asked her if she wanted to confess anything. She replied: “No, over the past three years there is nothing on my conscience that has not already been confessed, but there is one old sin that I would like to tell you about, although I have confessed it to many priests.” I replied that if she had already confessed it, she should not do it again. But she insisted, and this is what she told me.

When she was young and newly married, about 35 years old, she became pregnant at a time when her family was in a very difficult situation. The rest of the family insisted on an abortion, but she flatly refused. Nevertheless, in the end she succumbed to her mother-in-law’s threats, and the operation was performed.

The medical supervision of the underground operations was very primitive, as a result of which she suffered a serious infection and died a few days later, unable to confess her sin.

At the moment of death (and this was in the evening), she felt that her soul was being separated from her body in the way it is usually described: her soul remained nearby and watched as the body was washed, dressed and placed in a coffin. In the morning she followed the procession to the church, watched the funeral service and saw how the coffin was placed in a hearse to be taken to the cemetery. The soul seemed to be flying above the body at a low altitude.

Suddenly, two, as she described, “deacons” in shining surplices and orarions appeared on the road. One of them was reading a scroll. As the car approached, one of them raised his hand and the car froze. The driver got out to see what happened to the engine, and meanwhile the Angels began to talk among themselves. The one who held the scroll, which undoubtedly contained a list of her sins, looked up from reading and said: “It’s a pity, there is a very serious sin on her list, and she is destined for hell because she did not confess it.” “Yes,” said the second, “but it’s a pity that she has to be punished because she didn’t want to do it, but her family forced her.” “Very well,” replied the first, “the only thing that can be done is to send her back so that she can confess and repent of her sin.”

At these words, she felt that she was being dragged back into the body, for which she at that moment felt indescribable disgust and disgust. A moment later, she woke up and began knocking from inside the coffin, which was already closed. One can imagine the scene that followed. After listening to her story, which I outlined here briefly, I gave her Holy Communion and left, praising God, who gave me the gift of hearing this...” (Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose). The soul after death. St. Petersburg, 1994).

Saint Theophan the Recluse compares prayer to an electric wire that instantly transmits a current - a signal. This is, of course, an analogy, but the spiritual world continually influences the physical universe.

A girl of about 12 years old from a Sunday school of a certain church in Ukraine told me: when there was a fire in their house, she dreamed of her Guardian Angel and woke her up.

Why do most people not feel the spiritual world? Because people do not live spiritually and brightly. The sinner connects with the dark side of the spiritual world and feels depressed, despondent, and sad.

Laws of spiritual life in Taoism.

Ten Rules of Taoism

Dont kill.

Elimination of lust.

Do not steal.

Tell the truth.

Be sober, clean.

Honor your ancestors.

Help those who do good. Do good accordingly.

Help the unlucky and you will find good luck . Still, this rule does not quite fit the concept of fundamental. Still, the key word here is “Help.” And this was just in the previous rule.

No revenge.

The law of cause and effect or Karma.

What goes around comes around!!!

Karma in Buddhism (Sanskrit) is action, retribution, that is, cause and effect. It is important to understand that a person always reaps the fruits of his actions. After every action, there are consequences and this must be remembered. Every event has a reason. The choices we make at any given moment become the cause for all subsequent events. Therefore, make a choice so that you don’t regret the consequences later.

Nothing happens by chance. Realizing the essence of a situation that is painful or unpleasant for you, you can change it in order to get out of the circle of repeating lessons. If a person has realized the reason and changed his usual actions (choices) to more correct ones, then the lessons stop and the person leaves the vicious circle of lessons, changing his movement from circular to spiral, i.e. expanding consciousness (everything goes in a spiral - both entering the lesson and leaving it).

Any negative or conflict situation can and should be worked through within yourself according to the following scheme:

1. Awareness
2. Adoption
3. Repentance
4. Forgiveness
5. Transformation - new solutions and conclusions.
6. Gratitude for the experience.
7. Letting go.

After working through it, act in a new way, with new awareness, and then you will definitely get different consequences. Conclusion: We treat people the way we would like to be treated.

Spiritual laws of life in yoga. Yama and Niyama.

Rules of life in yoga. Target.

I want to end with Yama and Niyama because it is important for me to have a clear MEANING and PURPOSE of these rules. And it was in yoga that I found what I was looking for in full, or, let’s say, in a form and interpretation that was understandable to me.

I’ll immediately give you a link to an article about yoga.

So finally, yoga. Yama and Niyama.

Before defining the rules of Yama and Niyama and trying to combine everything that we received above into one set of rules, let's define this.

In yoga, the meaning, the reason for performing Yama and Niyama is very clearly given. Personally, I accepted this meaning for myself and offer it to you.

There is a famous work by the great Patanjali, where he outlined the essence of the “eightfold path” of yoga. The ultimate goal of this path is a state known as Samadhi.

In simple words, it is the achievement of complete unity with the Almighty. A state when that which alienates God from us is overcome and dissolved. The power of time and space is broken.

This is the state of realizing the Lord, superconsciousness. In this state, the yogi can leave the body and return to it again whenever he wants. In fact, death, which does not exist for the soul, is defeated.

Yoga, in short, is the path to God. Every soul created by God has as its main goal the desire for Him and knowledge of Him, overcoming the limitations and delusions associated with life on earth.

The soul can go to the Goal for many lives. This is a very long path and on it she learns everything that can be known. He will experience all the suffering and joy that one can experience. There will be nothing that does not touch the experience of the soul.

But the main goal remains and will always be the knowledge of God, samadhi.

The path of spiritual development.

It is impossible to take today and right now to immerse yourself in this state. We will live life after life. Until one day we realize within ourselves the desire to take the path of spiritual development.

That is, first of all, we must realize for ourselves the need to take the first step. And if such a desire appears, then the soul has come to this, it means it is ready .

And so the soul feels that life as it is, false and inferior, does not suit it. And in the end he realizes the need for spiritual development - a person wants to know his inner world and answer questions concerning his soul. He begins to feel something in himself that, perhaps, he simply did not notice before.

Then we can come to church. Maybe we start reading spiritual literature, maybe we react differently to emerging internal impulses.

But, as I said, at the very beginning, very often we do something without understanding why. But this is also a path. Over time, little by little, everyone will begin to discover this meaning for themselves if they ask and think about it.

Morning breathlessness

Powerful breaths for every day to take life into your own hands, put your emotions under control and become a master of your mood.

GET THE COURSE

Yama and Niyama are sequential movement.

The Eightfold Path of Yoga contains everything you need. The meaning of any religion is the pursuit of God. But here it is reflected very logically and clearly.

For example, let’s take the third stage of the “path”. Asanas. Something that is very popular today. How many fitness yoga centers are open? Physical exercise through yoga asanas really develops the body, warms it up, pumps blood, and has a positive effect on breathing.

I can recommend a simple but very effective set of Surya Namaskar exercises for a beginner.

But! For the spiritual path, these are simply meaningless actions. Although, as we see, this is the third step on the path to God. And without the first two, asanas are just physical exercise and nothing more. I don’t remember that I developed spiritually in physical education classes at school.

And further, to the fourth stage - pranayama, and further, and further. For those who miss the basis of the spiritual laws of Yama and Niyama, when performing exercises from the third and fourth stages, the doors of new spiritual discoveries will be locked.

As stated above, the rules of the spiritual path are, first of all, practice , thanks to which, through effort and time, we discover a new perception of the world.

And just without this new vision and sensation, we will not be able to catch and notice what Asanas, Pranayama and so on contain. They contain the keys to further spiritual growth, but we simply will not notice them, we will assume that they simply do not exist, because they will be closed to us. We won't be able to see them.

Any path must be filled with meaning.

We can wander away from yoga and face the same thing. You can go to church every weekend and pray regularly. But we will not feel the treasures that are stored in sacred rituals, and prayers will be just words, unable to resurrect the spiritual that is within us.

Law of love

“Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who use you and persecute you” (Bible: Matthew 5:44)

OOO! It's VERY difficult! Sometimes it even seems that it is IMPOSSIBLE! BUT! You can’t even imagine what miracles happen when we sincerely try to give goodness to those who never deserve it!

I'll tell you an example. Several years ago, at a former job, one person, out of the blue, began to behave aggressively towards me. It was very unpleasant and offensive. Considering that there were no apparent reasons for such an attitude. But I, as a person who lives according to God’s principles, simply stepped on the throat of my own emotions and began to pray for him, asking God for all the best and wonderful things for him! My surprise knew no bounds when a couple of days later the man came up to me and apologized to everyone for his behavior. For everyone it was a bolt from the blue! And only I understood why this happened. Don’t accumulate anger in yourself, give it to the Supreme Judge.

So. Spiritual laws of life in yoga.

Yama and Niyama are the main conditions on the path of spiritual development. This is where you need to start. And if you missed it, then going further is pointless, and maybe even dangerous, because you can be disappointed and see something that is not there, or vice versa.

Pit. 5 rules.

Yama is the first stage of yoga , according to the Yoga Sutras, containing 5 rules for a person’s relationship with the outside world.

1. Nonviolence . Again, the already famous “Thou shalt not kill.”
2. Tell the truth , don't lie.
3. Don't covet someone else's.
4. Control of lust , sexual abstinence, chastity (at least until marriage). Very similar to “Thou shalt not commit adultery”
5. Generosity, non-hoarding , freedom from attachments, things, from other people's opinions, one's own inner freedom and the inviolability of another person's freedom.

Niyama. 5 rules.

Niyama is the second stage of yoga. It contains 5 rules for a person’s relationship with his inner world.

1. Purity of body and mind . That is, hygiene, clean clothes, but at the same time we monitor the purity of our thoughts.
2. Happiness is in the present moment . Here and now. Everything is fine, positive attitude.
3. Self-discipline. Patience, diligence, hard work in spiritual aspirations.
4. Study of scriptures, spiritual books.
5. Accepting God as the goal of life.

Subtotal.

Now let's summarize everything.

This is the final table of spiritual laws according to world religions and traditions.

In Christianity, I combined the commandment “do not commit adultery and fornication”, the sins “sadness” and “despondency”, as well as “vanity” and “pride”. I combined “don’t covet someone else’s” and “don’t steal” - I think they are similar in many ways.

I did not write Buddhist “wisdom” - it is rather the result of observing the rules, and not one of them. Made a few more adjustments.

The main laws of life.

In all five religions and traditions under consideration, the first 4 spiritual rules coincide.

This:

DON'T KILL!

Do not encroach on any life. You didn’t create it, and it’s not for you to stop it. A person is not able to create life, he can only have sex, and life arises without his participation. The man is simply a guide. And once again I want to note that there are no notes anywhere that we are talking only about human life.

CONTROL OF SEXUAL DESIRE!

Both in marriage and after it. You have a choice. You can choose the path of chastity. You can practice sexual practices and conserve sexual energy. But you must take control of it.

And first of all, do not cheat on your spouse, exclude promiscuous relationships if you are not married. And stop masturbating and watching pornography. Purity of thoughts also fits here.

DO NOT STEAL!

The law of karma works as it did, whether we believe in it or not, it doesn’t matter to it. If you take someone else’s, then don’t even doubt that you will have to give up yours. What will it be? It is unknown, but it is a fact that it will happen.

DO NOT LIE!

How difficult this is to achieve. It seems to me that everyone is deceiving. Some more, some less.

And I’ll also tell you one interesting thing that, in my opinion, Yogananda Paramahansa said: if you said something but didn’t do it, then you weakened the power of your thoughts.

In fact, it turns out that by doing so we make it clear that our words mean nothing and do not materialize . And in the future, the space will “get used” to the fact that your words are just words and it will be more difficult to achieve what you want. So it is with lies, when our words are not true.

Further we see discrepancies, but at the same time we can notice that all the rules have much in common and the direction is the same, and it is understandable.

Also in Yama and Niyama, according to many sources, there are 10 laws each. And if we write them all down, we will practically fill all the empty spaces.

What else should we include in the fundamental spiritual laws of life, without which spiritual growth and full-fledged success in life are impossible?

KINDNESS AND COMPASSION!

Don't pass by someone who is hurting. Help good people and do good for others.

FORGIVENESS!

Don't hold grudges. Not on anyone and never. Learn to forgive. How many times should I forgive? Leo Tolstoy answered: And if you decide to stop drinking, how many times will you say “no” when they bring you a glass?

HONOR YOUR ANCESTORS!

This is believed to prolong your life on earth. Love your parents and grandparents.

GENEROSITY!

We fight greed and greed. Not being attached to things. After all, human life is short. Everything will come back, there is no other way. Don't doubt it!

HUMILITY! NO VANITY!

All people are equal. There are no those who are higher or lower. Each soul has its own experience in this life. There is one God in each of us. We are all one! There is no point in showing and proving something to each other and showing off your coolness.

If we can prove something, it is only to ourselves and to the One who created us and the world around us. Do the best you can, and everything else is out of your control.

DILIGENCE AND PATIENCE!

In any business, haste does not lead to good. Never give up, go forward, albeit slowly, but step by step.

HAPPINESS HERE AND NOW!

Stop being sad and whining. Everything is really good. Everything is really good, no matter what happens in your life. Everything is fine! Stay calm always.

Find happiness within yourself and then you will find it in everything around you and life will smile at you. Yes, you’ve known all this for a long time, right!? But what good is knowledge that is not applied? Look, the thousand-year-old scriptures say the same thing. And you are probably all looking for something else.

PURITY!

I would include here not only purity as such, but also, for example, gluttony, or, as it is written in the Bible, gluttony. That is, cleanliness of the stomach. We live for the soul, not for the body. The body will die, the soul will not.

Keep your body clean, both outside and inside. Watch what you eat and how much.

SOBRIETY AND DRUG FREEDOM!

What else can I add here? Stop drinking, smoking and whatever else you use.

Hell

Hell is, first of all, the state of the soul of the unsaved, but also a certain place where lost souls are located before the Last Judgment.

God and the saints embrace hell with their love and do everything to ensure that its inhabitants are saved.

Hell is a place where people cannot see each other. Everyone there seems to be alone and there is no one around. This is the ultimate projection and embodiment of human egoism. When we pray for those in hell, they get the opportunity to see its other inhabitants, that is, for the first time they see people in people.

Elder Paisios of Athonite said: contemplating hell, he noticed that only 30% of people in it are in a demonic state and blaspheme God, and the majority want to repent.

The Church’s prayers for the dead are based on the possibility of salvation from hell. On Pentecost, the church prays “for those in hell.” And they get help.

There is a certain antinomy here. The Holy Fathers (John of Damascus) say that repentance is impossible in hell.

But church prayers for those in hell can be effective not from the outside (after all, this is a state of soul, and then a place), but from the inside. And for salvation, only repentance is necessary. This means that you can still repent in hell. Obviously, it is the prayer for someone who has gone to hell that leads his soul to such an opportunity and such a desire, softens the soul, and gives it the strength to repent.

The law of vibration or movement.

Everything in the Universe moves and vibrates. Matter, energy and spirit are types of vibrational state. Light, magnetism and electricity are all in motion and vibration. Nothing is frozen - everything flows, everything changes.

Thoughts and feelings are also different vibrational states of a Person. Vibrations (click to view) of a person can be high and low. If there are low vibrations in a person’s mental and astral field, then the color of his aura is dark, dirty, his thoughts are immoral, and his feelings are aggressive. Conversely, bright and spiritual people have high vibrations and pure luminous aura colors.

People often experience difficulties in communicating with each other if they have large differences in vibrational characteristics, which causes a discrepancy in views or even a complete misunderstanding of each other. Therefore, if we want to have full-fledged, varied and interesting communication, it is very important to find people with similar vibrations.

Law of similarity (as above, so below; as within, so without)

Like attracts like. We attract into our lives people who are similar to us, circumstances, situations that are consonant with us. “Two boots are a pair”, “Husband and wife are one Satan”, “Like two peas in a pod.” But the similarity does not always exist on the outside and it is not immediately noticeable. It happens that people have something else in common, something internal: views, qualities by which they are attracted to each other. Even dog breeds, people choose those that are similar to them. Or teams at work: like the boss, like the subordinates.

This law also applies in space. The structure of the solar system is the same as the structure of the atom. All star systems and galaxies known to us have a similar structure. Man is a microcosm, reflecting a copy of the Universe, and inside us there are billions of cells repeating the structure of the Universe. The same energies, the same elements, the same transformation processes (global transformations, transformation) work in us.
