(Message of Himalaya Master – 205/210)
(1) A person’s internal or spiritual development, referring to good prosperity and comfort of work or activity, is based on a general rule that teaches that people respect, appreciate and support each other. The opposite state clearly shows the lack or underdevelopment of humanity, a low animal or demonic state, where one animal snatches a bite and the fruits of efforts from another animal. Demons called rakshasas function similarly to animals, but usually in some way more brutally than animals or more cunningly and devastatingly than animals. Therefore, we must strive to function at a human level where we respect, appreciate and support each other, and in the context of work, earning money or any activity aimed at achieving a decent livelihood, we respect, appreciate and support each other’s work or activity. This principle is particularly important in the family or marriage and various forms of cooperation and economic cooperation, such as employee cooperatives or business partnerships. Human well-being is quite closely linked to the growth and development of humanity as a state of existence different from the typical features of the world of demons and animals.
(2) Pay attention to whether the people around you respect, appreciate and support your work or activity. We must be cautious with loved ones, spouses and family, acquaintances and friends because those who do not respect our work, do not value our work, do not support our work with thought, word, heart, deed and soul, and act the opposite, are pests increasing our poverty, misery and failures. The mystical and magical rule teaches us that we should not talk about our work or activity with people about whom we are not completely certain that they will respect, appreciate and support our activity, our work, activity or our social initiative. Work only for those who respect, appreciate and support your efforts, endeavours and all your work – says the mystical and magical rule about work and effort. However, it is not only employers, once called bourgeoisie and kulaks, who must be taught to respect and appreciate the work of the person they employ. Often, those closest to us, i.e., our wife or husband, children, parents, parents-in-law, siblings, friends and acquaintances, need to be taught to respect, appreciate and support our work the most. In the golden age of antiquity, we were taught that friends are those who support, appreciate, and respect us and not those who harm us with their thoughts, speech, or deeds.
(3) Providing services or performing work for someone who does not respect us, does not value our effort, and the time we put into performing tasks – usually significantly increases the feeling of lack of self-worth and over time limits or completely blocks the flow of energy related to earning, achieving a decent income, life satisfaction, a sense of fulfilment in life. In many cases, especially for artistic, magical or mystical souls, the lack of respect and appreciation causes the blocking of creative abilities, inspiration, afflation and the desire to create, which usually ends in the psychophysical destruction of a person who is creative by nature. Naturally creative people should, therefore, turn especially strongly to those who support them, understand, respect and appreciate them for their abilities, talents and possibilities of artistic expression of the interior. On the other hand, to expand the workshop of skills and possibilities, people by nature artistic or inspired must learn to endure the conditions and circumstances of learning and practising that require correction and improvement, and therefore, by nature based on criticism of training products that require practising and perfecting the technical side of expressing creative inspirations. However, it must be remembered and understood that solid school or academic learning of artistic craft techniques is one thing, and actual creative work in conditions of inspiration and afflation, poetic, writing, music, sculpture, acting or painting, is another. Some artists do not distinguish school from work, but they must learn this clearly to become fully recognized artists.
(4) An environment with a negative attitude towards our work or activity is a demonic-animal destructive force that works for our failures, losses, bankruptcies, falls, poverty and misery. It contributes to both a decrease in earning capacity and a loss of motivation to work, to professional burnout, as well as to generating or strengthening a complex of low self-esteem, humiliation, social degradation, and also to a breakdown of competence or abilities. The aggressive reluctance of the environment or some people from the environment to our work, activity or creativity, in many cases, causes a total breakdown of the psyche and life structures, especially when negation towards our activity and us is practised by people who are close and frequently near us, such as husband, wife, parents, siblings, children, some friends or acquaintances. We need to realize that we do not have to be in the company of people who, with their harmful speech, gossip, remarks and, comments, and actions, as well as negative emotions or thoughts, harm us destroy what we do and what we are. The first thing that should definitely be done is to limit contact with such destructive, harmful people with the mentality of a degenerate beast, a beast that spoils everything thanks to which we live, have food, clothing, housing and means of living and satisfying our various needs.
(5) Recognition of value, respect for the work or activity of a loved one, appreciation of the work effort, support for every trip to work – this is a special duty of the closest, those the working person supports. We build prosperity and happiness based on supporting each other, and we achieve poverty and bad luck thanks to complaining, malicious remarks, and criticism of the activity or work of our loved ones. The heads of companies and work crews destroy the abilities, motivations and skills of their employees with stupid criticism and harmful humiliation of employees, destroying employee resources and labour resources in their stupidity. Of course, sometimes a reprimand is due for shortcomings, but it is always better to have a work manager who orders the work to be done again because it was done badly. In such a case, one should not destroy employees who are not skilful or well-trained with emotional and verbal aggression. We train employees and subordinates, demand quality, and hold them accountable for the performance of assigned tasks, but we do not destroy devastating dignity and self-esteem with poisonous verbal, emotional or physical aggression. A bad family environment, bad management or inappropriate co-workers are ninety per cent of our failure, downfall, defeat, poverty and misery. In a marriage or family, the worst evil is, for example, a wife constantly complaining and attacking her husband for what she considers to be too low earnings because such an attitude means that she will earn too little, and it will be increasingly difficult for him to find a better-paid job. Dissatisfaction shown with a spouse’s work destroys the entire family and is the cause of the breakdown of many even promising love affairs.
(6) The laws of creation or support of creation with the help of the power of thought and emotions work in such a way that if you complain about too low earnings, it has the power to cause the earnings to be even lower. Complaining is, therefore, a typical animal-demonic destructive force that worsens the fate of the complainer and those to whom you direct your complaints, grievances, aversions, frustrations, and aggressions. If you often criticize a person close to you with emotional aggression for earning too little, you destroy their ability to earn a living, you destroy their ability to earn and obtain a better-paid job, and as a result, you make life difficult and destructive for yourself and your loved one. This destructive power of complaining and criticizing that it is too little and that it is bad has a stronger and more harmful effect on people of artistic and mystical nature; therefore, being in a relationship with people involved in art, writing or activities in the style of spiritual development, working with people on the line of inspiration and afflation, more than in ordinary relationships we must refrain from pouring out the venom of toxic complaining, criticizing, nagging or emotionally interfering in the process of the person’s work. A good form of support and appreciation is gratitude for everything we receive, even pious gratitude, which over time brings more of what we give gratitude and thanksgiving for with a sincere heart and good thoughts. Thanksgiving for what we have and want is one of the foundations of practice on the development path.
(7) Complaints, resentments, regrets, frustrations, and grudges strengthen and deepen poverty, misery and decline. People with such tendencies, before entering into family or partnership relationships, should undergo solid scientific psychotherapy to cure themselves of such harmful animal-demonic behaviours, to learn to live in a more humanitarian, humane way, based from the beginning on mutual respect, appreciation, mutual support in the aspirations and efforts of life. The social development of the human race is based on the mutual support of members of the community, especially in the basic social unit, which is marriage or family. Supporting the basics of existence, such as work that brings income or activities from which we have essential means for survival, such as food, clothing and shelter, is the most vital point for the survival of an individual and the entire human species. Someone who cultivates a field, garden, orchard, produces home supplies of food for the winter and sews, weaves or spins clothes – just like a person who earns money through work requires respect, appreciation and support. In its essence, prosperity and life’s well-being are born from the mutual support of a human community, family or commune in which a certain number of women and men live. The richer and healthier human communities are, the more they exist according to the principle of mutual respect for their work and activity, appreciation of each other in their abilities and possibilities, the more they cooperate and support each other, and avoid primitive animal-demonic behaviours such as competition, complaining, criticizing, spreading the poison of resentment, grudges, regrets and morbid objections towards other members of the group or local community.
(8) There is nothing excessive or unrealistic in the attitude we instil because these are only the minimum good conditions for satisfactory functioning in society, in the family and at work. These are the foundations of spiritual development for all those who dream of a New Golden Age or a return to heavenly Paradise. Man himself must discern and understand his worth, so he cannot allow his environment to destroy his sense of dignity values or destroy his creative abilities, and life in this world does not have to resemble a prison concentration camp for degenerate and exceptionally corrupt individuals who have fallen away from human society, who sometimes need to be made to feel that they are rubbish and waste for the human race. However, let us not allow ourselves to be treated like rubbish and waste by employers, managers, directors, parents, siblings, spouses, friends or even acquaintances from the neighbourhood. Arousing a sense of dignity, value, and respect for ourselves requires transforming our environment, sometimes simply exchanging people for characters of a much higher quality than the animal-demonic pests that poison the entire area with their psychic and verbal poisons. To live qualitatively better, one must start attracting goodness into one’s life, attracting better people, good people, and reduce the time spent with those who bring emotional and mental mud in the form of complaints, aversion, resentment, grudge, dislike in a form that can be harmful to us and our lives. A person has the right to goodness and all divine goods, to prosperity and happiness, and also to decent, reasonable, but satisfying earnings or income. However, one must take care of the right conditions and a good environment to create good. The worst karman of pests, however, is done by those people who direct their negative emotions, thoughts, words or actions towards those who work as spiritual teachers of humanity, shamans, spiritual masters, gurus, seers, prophets, magicians, soothsayers, avatars – because they are on this earth, in a way, the faces of the Deity, the faces of God or Goddess, and for spitting in such a Face, people eventually suffer the greatest poverty, misery, decline, loss and enslavement. The bad karma of people who are critical and negatively disposed towards the “Face of the Deity” is so strong that in the East it is advised to carefully avoid their company, to avoid even momentary contact with them, so as not to participate in their sins.
Many Blessings on the Path of Awakening and Realization! Om Namaśśivaya!
