Today, there are endless possibilities for. What if I make the wrong choice

positive psychology 22.01.2012

I love the expression so much « endless possibilities» . You just think about it. Opportunities WITHOUT Boundaries . I think for many the topic will be relevant. After all, we are so used to thinking that we ourselves cannot advance, that we are unworthy of something better, and so on. etc.

How often this negativity is instilled in us from childhood. The remarks of adults thrown in passing, who are simply tired of the working day, lay whole complexes in us. After all, it is known that by the age of 5 we form our ideas about life. Then something is added, of course, but not much. True, it is interesting that we live in the mind and boundaries of the mind of a five-year-old child? And it was formed with us and was determined by what we received from our parents. But even the best parents cannot know everything and live within the limitations of their own consciousness.

How often we were told: "You can't do it", "You can't do it". And we squeeze ourselves into rigid limits when we say: “I can’t”, “I don’t have money for this!”, “What will they think about this?” ... And then you can list who, what might think about it.

All these limitations often prevent us from expressing ourselves using our limitless possibilities. If we understand that all limitations nest only in our heads and have nothing to do with reality, I think life will be much more interesting, happier and it will only bring us health.

I once read about putting things in order in our thoughts. And there was an example about a wardrobe. Imagine that you opened it, found a bunch of unnecessary things there. It's out of fashion, it doesn't suit you, it's the wrong size, you don't like it, etc. What can be done in this case? Of course, to take everything apart, just give something to someone, take it to the church, etc. Now we are starting to lay out all the remaining things in a new way. The closet becomes more spacious. And if you buy new thing there's a place for her.

We need to do the same with our thoughts. Get rid of the old, make room for the new. How far we can go in this is entirely up to us.

Every time you hear about an incurable disease, know that it is not true. There is a power that can heal everything. You just need to dive into yourself and discover the medicine in yourself. There are many examples of such healing. I would like to briefly mention one of them.

I already wrote to you that my acquaintance with psychology began through books Louise Hay. Her story cannot leave anyone indifferent. At the age of five, her stepfather raped her, then fate threw her terrible trials one after another. Including the diagnosis of cancer. She gave up medicine and started new look life, doing forgiveness, healing, proper nutrition, relaxation and cleansing. So she cured herself of cancer.

As Dr. Pachuta of the National AIDS Association said, "There has never been an epidemic in the world with 100% mortality - never!" Any disease on earth that affected many people could not cope with someone. Immersed in gloomy thoughts, we are doomed. In order to find a way out of the situation, you need to apply positive approach. We need to learn how to use the Power within us to heal.

Would you like to change something in your life? Perhaps you have some problems? One of the most terrible problems today is alcoholism and drug addiction. Those who know what it is about, I think, will always be imbued with information. The EXODUS website is dedicated to this problem and the social rehabilitation of drug addicts.

Here are some examples of such unlimited possibilities person:

  • Peter Terren can handle frenzied tension. In the pose of a thinker, wrapped in foil, he remains alive and well after a 500 kilovolt electric shock.
  • Biologist Kevin Richardson can spend the night in a lion cage. For unknown reasons, the lions accept him as their own.
  • Vietnamese Thai Ngoc has not slept at all since 1973, from the very moment he had a fever.
  • Autistic from the UK Daniel Tammet speaks with difficulty, does not distinguish between left and right, does not know how to insert a plug into a socket, but at the same time easily performs the most complex mathematical calculations in his mind. Daniel knows by heart 22514 digits after the decimal point in pi and understands eleven languages, including Welsh, Esperanto and Icelandic, which he learned in 7 days.
  • Frenchman Michel Lotito, nicknamed "Monsieur Eat Everything" really eats everything. At the age of 9, he ate a TV, and from the age of 16 he began to entertain people for money, eating metal, glass and rubber. Lotito got into the Guinness Book of Records for eating a Cessna-150 plane.
  • Jody Ostroit is able to notice details that are impossible to see with the naked eye. For example, the internal structure of a plant leaf, which can only be seen with an electron microscope.
  • Ben Underwood is blind due to illness, but thanks to his super hearing, he is able to distinguish even very quiet sounds coming from any object. In principle, Ben can be called a human dolphin, since it is dolphins that use biological sonar to navigate in space.
  • The imaginary death was demonstrated in 1950 by yogi Babashri Ramdazhi Jirnari. He climbed into a chamber studded with nails, after which the chamber was filled with cement and filled with water. A day later, they took Babashri Yogi out of it, rubbed it and he came to life.

Recently I saw a video of amazing beauty on the Internet. Dance Men and women, but they are not just dancers, but people with disabilities. However, this did not prevent them from performing this sensual and beautiful dance.

By believing that anything is possible, we can open our minds to solutions to the problems we encounter in life.

We live and always have the right to choose: either we surround ourselves with walls of restrictions, or we break them, while feeling safe, allowing good and good to enter our lives.

As useful as sesame is, it is not a panacea. also possible: after eating a couple of spoons of seeds on an empty stomach, an attack of nausea and vomiting may occur. As a dietary product, it is also not suitable due to its high calorie content.

Sea buckthorn oil contains a variety of vitamins, fatty acid and micronutrients. This multivitamin complex is used as a remedy for many diseases. proven by many scientists, and its effectiveness has been tested for centuries. The oil has the most valuable biological substances which the human body needs.

When you use some ointments and creams to maintain your beauty, you want to know more about them. It has long been no secret how useful castor oil is for beauty and health. The oil obtained from the castor bean plant undergoes cold pressing and then refining. In this oil, all useful trace elements remain. But the most valuable thing is its special acids.

Nowadays, people tend to lead healthy lifestyle life, which also implies proper and rational nutrition - rich in vitamins, minerals and useful substances. Such chickpeas are very useful for children, in their taste it is very similar to nuts.

Calendula is undesirable during pregnancy, it cannot be used for hypotensive patients, with ulcers and gastritis in the acute stage. has the same as other drugs, for example, it is not applicable for bronchial asthma, when using sedatives, and for persons under 12 years of age.

Knowing about the benefits of nut paste, many people are wondering how to cook urbech on their own. It is worth noting that flax seeds, nuts, sesame seeds, apricot pits and seeds can be used for urbech.

Our ancestors loved buckwheat for its taste and beneficial features, and we often use it on fasting days. The use of this cereal in combination with kefir makes a fasting day easily tolerated and effective.

Loving yourself is one of critical tasks for any person. We can only interact comfortably with the world around us if we perceive ourselves positively.

It's no secret that you can quickly get rid of extra pounds diet with cinnamon will help and physical exercise. It is best to prepare a drink with cinnamon and kefir for weight loss, since such a mixture is not only low in calories, but also stimulates the intestines.

There are many different recipes for cooking figs. And if you are thinking about how to cook figs, remember that it is most useful not to subject the fruit to heat treatment.

    People have always been interested in what lies beyond ordinary perception, what is inaccessible to the majority. However, along with interest, there was also fear due to the lack of reliable information and the unknown.

    Recently, the paranormal or unusual abilities of people have become the subject of social and scientific research, narrow-minded gossip and newspaper publications. What are these abilities? Where do they come from?

    Despite the fact that the human body has already been well studied by physicians and scientists, nevertheless ...

    ... remain mysteries that are beyond our understanding.

    There are many amazing cases that have happened to ordinary people and published in the press. Some events simply cannot be explained by modern science.

    So, perhaps the most famous case happened when a mother was walking with her little son and got distracted. The child ran out onto the road and was hit by a car. Seeing this picture, the baby's mother rushed to his aid and lifted the car. It is this case that in our time is most often described by scientists as proof that the human body has hidden abilities.

    Another fairly well-known incident occurred during the war. The pilot's steering jammed due to a bolt in the mechanism. Under pain of death, the pilot began to pull the handle with all his might and miraculously managed to straighten the plane. After landing, the mechanics carefully examined the control, and found a sheared bolt. As a result of the examination, it turned out that in order to cut off such a bolt, a force of 500 kilograms would be required.

    One man was walking through the forest and accidentally stumbled upon a sleeping bear. Out of fear, he grabbed a log lying nearby and rushed to run towards the nearby village. When the danger was over, he threw the log on the ground, caught his breath and looked at it. It turned out to be a huge tree trunk, which he then could not drag alone from the road. The man could not even explain to himself why he grabbed this log.

    But such incredible stories happens not only when we are talking about your own salvation.

    There is another case. When the child fell out of the window of the 7th floor, his mother managed to grab it with one hand, and with the other she held on to the brick of the eaves, and only with two fingers - index and middle. She held on until the arrival of rescuers, who then with difficulty unclenched her fingers.

    A 70-year-old woman carried 13 kilometers on her back, her 40-year-old son, who had an accident, never stopped and never lowered him to the ground.

    Some researchers claim that a person uses his abilities only by 10%. And this applies to both the body and the brain.

    The doctor hypnologist Vul demonstrated an amazing ability - he had the ability to inspire at a distance. Vul sent a letter by mail, in which the word was written in his handwriting: "Sleep!" If before that the patient had already been at the reception of this doctor, then when he received the letter, he immediately fell into a dream.

    A pop artist from France, Michel Lotito, had an amazing ability - he can eat everything he sees. When he was still a child, he "ate" the TV, and from the age of 15 he began to entertain people for money by eating rubber, glass and metal. For the fact that Michel ate the plane (although it took about 2 years to eat it), he was included in the Guinness Book of Records. Biologist K. Richardson can spend the whole night in a cage with lions. For unknown reasons, the lions mistake Richardson for their own. Thai Ngoc from Vietnam hasn't slept at all since 1973 - it started after he had a fever.

    Monica Tejada Phenomenon

    There are many similar inexplicable phenomena in our world. Amazing Phenomenon Monica Tejada from Spain demonstrates to scientists. Under her gaze, even metal objects bend.

    There are no tricks here. Scientists placed a steel wire into a sealed glass vessel. However, this did not stop Monica from bending a hard thread into the shape of a dinosaur with a closed mouth. Instruments during this process recorded an increase in the girl's body temperature and a decrease in her blood pressure. This combination leads doctors to a dead end. At the same time, the electroencephalograph showed biocurrents characteristic of a sleeping person. Monica has another gift - she can diagnose diseases.

    In the state of New Jersey on the outskirts of Trenton in the 40s, there lived a 90-year-old man named Al Herpin. There was no couch or bed in his hut - Al Herpin had never slept in his entire life. An old man who lived to that age outlived the doctors who examined him. Al Herpin's appetite and health were good, mental capacity average. Of course, after a day's work he was tired, but he could not sleep. The old man simply sat in an armchair and read until he felt rested. After recovery physical strength he got back to work. Explain chronic insomnia the doctors could not find their patient, just as they could not explain the source of his longevity.




    A case is known that occurred in a Russian village. There lived an old sick woman named Matryona. She could not hear well, could not see, and hardly walked. One night her house caught fire. The whole village fled to the fire. What was the surprise of people when they saw this old woman climbing over a high fence. Moreover, in her hands she held a large chest, which later several men could not lift. Where are the limits of human possibilities? And do they even exist?

    In Mexico City on Olympic Games in 1968, an athlete named Robert Beamon was able to jump almost 9 meters. Of course, this seems impossible, but Robert's record was broken. And the record, which was set in 500 BC in Ancient Greece, looks absolutely fantastic - the athlete Fail then jumped almost 17 meters in length.

    In New York in 1935, an absolutely normal-looking child was born. However, he lived only 26 days. After an autopsy, it turned out that the child had no brain. Although it is known that even the slightest damage to the cerebral cortex can lead to death.

    The fact that there are people in the world living with foreign objects in the body does not surprise anyone now. But here's an incident that occurred in a hospital in New York, it seems simply incredible. A man was admitted to the hospital with a slight indisposition. Doctors conducted an examination and found more than 250 objects in his body. There were only 26 keys in the patient's body. About how in his body so many objects, the man did not tell.

    An equally striking case occurred with a 12-year-old Russian boy who went to a hospital in a small town complaining of dizziness and weakness. On examination, doctors found a bullet wound in the heart area. It is not known how the boy received such a wound, and most importantly, how he survived after that. X-ray determined that the bullet was in the solar artery. The boy was urgently sent to Moscow, where the bullet was removed from the body. She made an incredible journey in the body - pierced the lung and hit the heart, which pushed her into the aorta. The bullet traveled through the vessel until it hit the solar artery.

    The famous psychiatrist and neurologist Cesare Lombroso had a very solid reputation in scientific world. In his book "And what after death" he told the story of a 14-year-old girl. She became blind, but at the same time she had a completely new and amazing ability to see.

    Dr. Lombroso conducted studies, as a result of which it turned out that the girl sees with her left earlobe and nose. To exclude the slightest possibility of the participation of the girl's eyes, during the experiment, the doctors covered them with a bandage so that peeping was completely excluded. However, despite the measures taken, the girl easily read blindfolded and perfectly distinguished colors.

    When next to the earlobe flashed bright light, she blinked, and when the doctor wanted to put a finger to the tip of her nose, she jumped back with cries that he wanted to blind her. There was an amazing movement of the senses, which affected not only vision. When the experimenter brought the ammonia solution to the girl's nose, she did not react. But as soon as he brought the solution to his chin, she twitched in pain. She picked up scents with her chin.

    I must say that some people are able to completely control the abilities of their body. These include primarily Indian yoga. Perhaps the most amazing ability of yogis is that they are able to stop the beating own heart. Yogis can put themselves into a state of "death" - the work of the heart and breathing slow down, and other life processes stop.

    A yogi can stay in this state for quite a long time. So what are the forces hidden in man? Based on the foregoing, it can be assumed that the human body are limitless. You just need to learn how to control them.

    Diamond tears

    A woman named Hanuma, who lives in Africa, has earned the nickname "diamond" for her unusual ability to cry diamonds. Since childhood, Khanuma did not cry. The first time it happened at the age of nine, when the girl was peeling onions for the first time. What was the surprise of the girl's parents when hard crystals began to fall from her eyes instead of tears.

    The girl's dad was a jeweler and, having subjected small crystals, he easily determined that they were real diamonds. The parents decided to keep Khanuma's unusual abilities a secret, and dad used his daughter's crystals to make jewelry that was in great demand. One of the clients suspected something was wrong and handed over the diamond for examination, as a result of which it turned out that the stone has organic origin. The girl became famous all over the world. But scientists have not been able to solve the mystery of diamond tears so far.

    man is ice

    Wim Hof, a resident of Holland, is not sensitive to any cold. Thanks to his unusual abilities, the Dutchman conquered Mountain peaks in one underwear, swam long time in icy water and performed many similar feats.

    Doctors conducted examinations of the body of an amazing person, but the results of the studies did not show any deviations from the norm in Wim's body after cold procedures. The Dutchman's unusual abilities allow him to feel comfortable in those conditions that would be fatal for any other person.

    "Perpetual Motion"

    The kid, named Ret Lamba, who is three years old, has never slept in his life. He is awake around the clock. Ret's parents, of course, are not enthusiastic about their son's abilities, but most of all they were worried about the child's health. However, as repeated medical examinations have shown, the lack of sleep does not affect Ret's health in any way, the boy is absolutely healthy.

    Recent studies have clarified the picture a little. It turned out that the brain and nervous system of an amazing child are arranged in a special way, thanks to which the boy does not need sleep, his brain rests while awake.

    Man is a reptile

    History knows cases when people had the ability to replace their skin covering to a new one, just like reptiles do. Born in 1851 in Missouri, S. Buskirk began to change his skin as a child. The most amazing thing is that it always happened on the same day - June 27th. The skin began to roughen, and then fell off in large pieces. She slipped off her hands and feet like gloves or socks.

    After the old skin fell off it, one could observe in its place young pink and tender skin, like that which newborn babies have. For several years, Mr. Baskirk has assembled a "leather" collection.

    Luminous patient

    Anna Monaro, who suffered from asthma, in 1934 became like a fluorescent lamp. During her illness, a bluish glow emanated from her chest. This phenomenon lasted several weeks and was documented by doctors. Sometimes the color of the glow changed to red and green. No one has yet been able to explain this phenomenon.

    One psychiatrist suggested that "the phenomenon is caused by electrical and magnetic organisms that have received enough strong development in the body of this woman and therefore emit a radiance,” in other words, another way of saying, “I don’t know.” Another doctor suggested a theory electromagnetic radiation, linking it to certain chemical components located in the skin of the patient, which was close to the then fashionable theory of bioluminescence.

    Dr. Protti, who made a lengthy statement regarding his observations of Signora Monaro, suggested that her poor health, together with starvation and piety, increased the amount of sulfides in the blood. Human blood emits rays in the ultraviolet range, and sulfides can be made to luminesce by ultraviolet radiation, which explains the radiance emanating from Signora Monaro's chest (Times, May 5, 1934).

    Anna Monaro

    The proposed theory did not explain the strange periodicity or localization of the bluish flashes, and soon the bewildered researchers finally fell silent.

    Gould and Pyle's 1937 Anomalies and Curiosities in Medicine describes the case of a woman with breast cancer. The light emanating from the diseased area of ​​​​the chest was sufficient to see the dial of the clock, which was at a distance of several feet ...

    In the book Death: Its Causes and Related Phenomena by Hareward Carrington, there is a mention of a child who died of indigestion. After death, the boy's body began to emit a bluish glow and spread heat. Attempts to extinguish this radiance did not lead to anything, but soon it stopped on its own. When the body was lifted from the bed, it was found that the sheet under it was burned ... The only case of light emission in practice a healthy person(not counting the saints, of course) is described in The English Mechanic of September 24, 1869:

    “An American woman, going to bed, discovered a glow in the upper part of the fourth toe of her right foot. When she rubbed her leg, the glow increased and some unknown force pushed her fingers apart. A stench emanated from the foot, and both the light emission and the smell did not stop even when the foot was immersed in a basin of water. Even soap could not extinguish or reduce the glow. This phenomenon lasted three quarters of an hour, and the husband of this woman watched him.

    The church treats the phenomenon of "firefly people" approvingly. Pope Benedict XIV wrote: “... It should be recognized as a fact - the presence of a natural flame, which sometimes becomes visible around the human head, and it also seems to be true that sometimes fire can emanate from the whole body of a person, but not like a fire rushing upward, but rather in the form of sparks flying in all directions.

    People are lightning

    organism ordinary person capable of generating small amounts, but not storing electricity. However, there are people whose unusual abilities lie in the fact that they can accumulate electricity in themselves, and, if possible, dump it on surrounding objects.

    So, for example, in the journal Prediction, an article was published in 1953, which told about a baby who hit electric shock doctors. For another whole day, he retained tension in himself and was dangerous to others.

    But it also happens that unusual abilities wake up in people only with age. A Chinese worker in 1988 began to notice some changes in his body, but could not understand what it was until he accidentally electrocuted his colleague, knocking him off his feet.

    Rif Mukharyanov is one of those people who managed to survive after being struck by lightning.

    Back in 1965, the Reef hit fireball and miraculously survived. Over time, he began to see strange dreams, which soon began to come true - his psychic abilities began to wake up.

    When he fully recovered from his illness, his good friend fell seriously ill. The doctors did not know what to do, and only shrugged, and it was then that Reef decided to take advantage of his new opportunities. Literally two weeks later, a friend stood firmly on his feet.

    living magnet

    There are people who have magnetism. The most amazing case of the manifestation of magnetic abilities is the case of the American Frank McKinstry. His body was pulled towards the ground. The magnetism was especially strong in the morning. Frank had to move very fast, non-stop, because his body stuck to the ground, if he stopped for a couple of seconds, and then without outside help the man could no longer move.

    Often people do not realize that they have some unusual abilities. Erika Zur Strinberg, a German resident, discovered the magnetic abilities of her body after watching a TV show that talked about the magnetism of a Russian woman, Natalia Petrasova.

    For the sake of interest, the German put a spoon to her chest and she “stuck” to the woman. Eric was then hung up with almost all of the cutlery to make sure he had an unusual ability.

    Unusual abilities yet to be unraveled

    Many scientists agree that this kind of ability is potentially inherent in every person, but they manifest themselves only in extreme situations or after severe life shocks. An example of this hypothesis is the soothsayer Vanga, who, having lost her sight, gained the ability to foresee the future, the present of people and their past.

    Also, the famous German clairvoyant Wolf Messing became the owner of his unusual abilities after having stayed long time in condition clinical death. It happened when Messing was eleven years old.

    There are many cases when people, after coming out of clinical death, acquired the ability to read minds, speak in previously unknown or even dead languages. Amazing case happened to polar explorer Grigory Popov. While repairing the plane, Grigory heard some rustling behind him, turning around, he saw a polar bear - one of the most dangerous predators. The pilot did not have time to understand anything, as he was already at a two-meter height - on the wing of the aircraft. He got there in one jump.

    The human body is a small universe. It would seem that our body has been studied to the maximum, but many facts and amazing achievements of the human body prove that there are still undiscovered possibilities.

    Undoubtedly, human possibilities are great, but are they unlimited? Someone can hold a horse in his hands, glue a lot of pieces of iron to his body, someone instantly multiplies several multi-digit numbers in his mind.

    It is believed that being in extreme conditions a person can suddenly discover unusual physical abilities; and all because at the same time he enters the so-called state of altered consciousness.

    In such a borderline state, an individual has the strength to lift a multi-ton weight, make his skin stronger than armor, and walk on hot coals.

    Nowadays, there are methods for using your unique physical potential not only by chance, but also by your own will. But not everyone succeeds in comprehending such art.

    Such techniques for revealing the hidden capabilities of a person have long been used in the training of intelligence officers. But before such mentors appeared, it was necessary to study various phenomena and uncover the secrets of their appearance.

    To study fantastic human abilities, special services even equipped expeditions to remote corners of the planet. and magicians, their mysterious rituals and spells became the object of close study.

    Let's say the capabilities of men and women from the voodoo tribe. in the 20th century, perhaps, became the most coveted "prey" narrow specialists from the special services of the leading countries of the world. The sensational possibilities of magicians from India enjoyed no less interest.

    The outstanding parapsychologist of the XIV century, the author of the treatise "Universal History" Ibn Khaldon assured that in India there were unique people who were only able to point a finger at a person, and he fell dead. At the same time, at the autopsy, it turned out that the deceased did not have ... a heart.

    Officially, this kind of phenomenon from the practice of world magic became known in XVII century when, in 1696, a black witch was brought on board the ship of Count Gennes, heading to the shores of the French colonies, who knew how to dry important internal organs any person.

    The ship's doctor, who heard about the miracles of African sorcerers, before, according to the tradition of sailors, was buried in sea ​​waves who unexpectedly died after the threats of the sorceress of the boatswain, opened the body of the unfortunate and, to his horror, saw that the heart and liver of the deceased were dry, like gunpowder.

    The black witch, at the request of Count Gennes, showed her ability to "devour" things at a distance. In the morning, all the pumpkins that were locked in the chest turned out to be empty, dressed only in a dried peel.

    After the old woman promised not to harm anyone from the crew, the sorceress was returned to her native island, for which the ship was forced to change course and make a detour. But the main thing is that all this was recorded in historical documents witnesses of those distant events.

    If we believe that a person is not only physical, but also energy body, you can understand the principles of the "work" of magicians that influence the actions or state of a person.

    For example, the same well-known among the population evil eye-damage - may be the influence of the owner of some negative energy on another person. Physical body operates under the energy program; and the invisible impact falls just on the energy one.

    After the evil eye, the system of energy coordinates changes, the usual circulation of energy is disturbed. The person is being coded. Failures begin in the work of the body, the person becomes worse and worse, he falls ill, although as a rule, doctors cannot determine the cause of the disease.

    Energy magicians (known to us from folklore as witches, sorcerers and demons) are able to “throw a code” on the chakras of a person who has positive, white energy to feed them. For example, profit from the energy of strength, health, sexual energy, etc.

    Craftsmen to kill with a glance, breaking through the energy field of another person, exist today. Relatively recently, one of these cases was handled by the FBI, when it was involved in the strange death of the president of an American manufacturing company. electronic devices turned out to be a Lebanese Arab who was associated with the notorious Al-Qaeda and who killed a competitor with the help of a “hypnotic gaze”.

    There were also cases in the Soviet Union when high-ranking officials went to another world as a result of the influence of people with occult abilities. They began to write about such incidents only at the end of the 90s of the XX century, when publications about parapsychology, magic and other "devilry" appeared in the open post-Soviet press.

    It would seem that it would be much easier for the secret services than the mysterious possibilities of a person associated with magic, it would be to study the possibilities related to the category of clearer phenomena.

    For example, resistance to physical tests (thirst, hunger, temperature changes), power tricks, magnetism, etc. Before such tests as records were listed in popular reference books, many people were tested for strength.

    At the same time, most of which acted as guinea pigs against their will, but were, say, prisoners of gulags, concentration camps, prisons (including secret, closed), criminals sentenced to death. And even by random passers-by, captured as biological raw materials for scientific experiments.

    In connection with the last statement, we can cite the increasing last years in Russia, cases of memory loss by young men who remembered only that they were suddenly given some kind of injection on the street, after which they ceased to belong to themselves, and what happened to them next, what actions were committed against them and what they themselves did - is unknown .

    Special attention to such incidents was paid by the journalists of the popular TV show "Wait for me", as well as the NTV channel. It was even suggested that, under the influence of an unknown drug, a person could also act as a hired killer, and then be released with an erased memory.

    However, it is unlikely that the special services are engaged in mass trapping of people on the streets and train stations in order to release such witnesses later. This may indicate that the technology used by professionals from the security services fell into the hands of bandits.

    From historical literature It is known that experiments on human survival in extreme conditions were carried out in the first half of the 20th century by such powerful organizations as the OGPU-NKVD and the Special Department G.I. Bokiya, "Ahnenerbe" under the supervision of the Reichsführer SS G. Himmler.

    However, this does not mean that inhumane experiments were not carried out in countries other than the USSR and Germany. The Americans and the Japanese also became famous for their cruel, inhuman experiments. Just remember this historical experience no country wants.

    Now in open and usually popular sources you can find information, say that a person is able to walk and talk even with a body temperature of 32–28 degrees; the state of preservation of consciousness in chilled people at a body temperature of 30–26 degrees and meaningful speech even at 24 degrees was registered.

    Apparently, such data appeared due to the misfortunes that occurred with real people, accidentally caught in the binder and survived against all odds.

    However, before the monstrous experiments on freezing living people were carried out by the Chekists, and the Nazis, and the Japanese "esculapius"; while many of these experiences were recorded on film, the frames left moments when human hand or a leg, like an icicle, was torn off the body and shattered to smithereens ...

    How many people, through the fault of the tormentors, have undergone a cold shock, immersed in ice water, how many died as a result of impaired respiratory function and cardiac arrest (as well as those who were tortured as a result of other brutal experiments), recorded in documents stored in special archives different countries to which ordinary citizens have no access.

    By the way, the numerous documents that came to them after the end of World War II, reports on the studies of Nazi doctors who worked with living material from among arrested compatriots and prisoners of war, became valuable booty for the American intelligence services.

    The result of all of the above is that many of the achievements of medical scientists were adopted by the special services, that is, they began to be taken into account in the training of specialists and used to carry out certain covert operations.

    You can do whatever you want! There is no limit! You are the best! Follow your dreams!

    Did you hear similar things as a child? Your parents were sure that such motivation would do you good. For them, you really were the most special person on planet Earth - a beautiful child with limitless possibilities.

    But now this child has grown up, and in his twenties such judgments are more constraining than motivating. If your possibilities are truly endless, how can you decide which path to take and what to do with your life?

    clinical psychologist Mag Jay specializes in counseling young patients aged 20 to 30 years. She wrote the book "The Defining Decade", which focuses on the youth. In her book, Meg explains that young people are faced with a serious choice in their intermediate 10 years. What to do in life? Graphic design? Or maybe go to Faculty of Law what do parents want? Or become a pilot to fulfill a childhood dream? The young man feels like he is literally drowning in the sea of ​​options that surround him, and does not know at all where to go.

    Many young people do not see the shore they want to land on, and do not even know which way they want to swim. They are so overwhelmed with all sorts of options that, in the end, they simply cannot stop at one thing. At the age of 25, they realize with hopelessness and fatigue that they are marking time.

    We think our possibilities are endless.

    Believing in the existence of limitless possibilities, young people get lost and, instead of choosing one of these possibilities, do not choose anything. Why?

    To some extent, the thought of the existence of infinite possibilities gives a sense of freedom. People love it when they have many options (even if the many may make them miserable).

    For this reason, we are afraid to knock on one door, because we think that because of this, dozens of others are closing in front of our noses. "If I choose one thing, I feel like I'm losing everything else." In addition, when you choose a single path, you move from a contemplative state of choice to a state where you need to take concrete steps and move forward. Of course, it's much easier to sit on the sidelines and watch the world from the side than to fuss and do things on your own. There are several main reasons why young people are in no hurry to make a final choice.

    You have unimaginably high hopes and plans for this wonderful life. Because Generation Y (to which I belong) is used to thinking that they are special and do not want to be satisfied ordinary life and be like everyone else.

    They dream of an extraordinary life. Although, if you ask any average representative of generation Y what “extraordinary life” means in his understanding, he is unlikely to be able to clearly and clearly explain this phenomenon. Most likely, he will say that he does not want to sit out his pants in a boring office every day from nine to five, but wants to do his favorite job. Your favorite job will also be described in a very abstract way. Gen Y people know very well what they don't want and have a very vague idea of ​​what they want out of life. They are sure that the feeling “yes, this is really mine” will surely come to them by itself, unexpectedly, one fine day, and it is not at all necessary to make any efforts to find your place in life.

    You don't know where to start. Sometimes the words “I don’t know where to start” are lies and self-deception - in fact, you know very well, you just like to hover in the clouds and do nothing, justifying yourself with the fact that you are diligently looking for your path.

    If you don't start, you cannot fail. Even if you have an idea of ​​how you want to build your life, fear of failure can hold you back.

    You are afraid of making the wrong choice. This is one of the biggest reasons why people cling so stubbornly to the myth of limitless possibilities. What if at first you choose what seems to be a life model that suits you, but after a while you realize that you were wrong? What if you become exactly that ordinary, average person whose lifestyle you so zealously ridiculed? We will talk about how to stop being afraid to make the wrong choice.

    When Mag Jay talked about this problem with a twenty-year-old guy, she asked him how to find "your" in this sea of ​​\u200b\u200boptions, to which he replied: “I don’t know for sure. Perhaps you will just someday realize that you want to sail in this direction, and not in the other direction. Or maybe someone will help you with the choice, indicating the right direction.

    This is the mindset of many twentysomethings. They are waiting lifeboat, which will pick them up and take them to an unusual, adventurous life. Although you should not immediately rush to condemn them, perhaps it's just defense mechanism which gives them a sense of security. However, this feeling, as we will see below, is in most cases only an illusion.

    So, how do you give up the illusion of limitless possibilities and finally learn to be responsible for own life? Deal with this myth first.

    The parts that make up life

    Conventionally, our life can be divided into several important parts: relationships, children, work (vocation, life's work), travel / hobbies. How many parts your life will consist of depends only on you. How much vitality or other resources you will invest in each part - this is also your personal choice. It can be compared to choosing a bicycle. You may want a tandem bike (going to get married), a mountain bike (you like extreme sports), a bike with a child seat (you are going to have offspring soon). Someone might just want a speed bike (single, no child seats etc.). The combinations - both in choosing a bike and in our lives - are endless.

    How to get to the heart of the matter

    So, each person builds his life from four main parts (in fact, there may be more of these parts, we just cited the most common ones as an example).

    Let's think about this for a minute. Marriage and children is a matter that sometimes seems prohibitively difficult, but is actually very simple: you either want to get married / get married / have a child, or you don't. When it comes to hobbies, there are usually few questions here: people just do what they like and what they do not mind spending their free time on.

    Therefore, when people say that they do not know what to do with their lives, most often they mean by this that they do not know what professional sphere how to find your calling. There are terribly many options here, and the stakes are prohibitively high. We are afraid that our life will proceed according to the standard scheme "home - family - work" and there will be nothing unique in it. It is at this point that we begin to feel that we need to change something, perhaps take risks, in order to finally become the “special” people that we have always felt ourselves to be.

    Despite the fact that, at first glance, the professional field seems endless to us with its various options, our possibilities are not unlimited in this case either. Our choice narrows down to a few options. First, you don't Blank sheet”, as many can assure you, but a fully formed person who has been living in the world for 20 years and has his own specific interests, habits and abilities. Listen to yourself, and you will understand that, based on your preferences and your abilities, from an endless sea of ​​\u200b\u200boptions, you will be left with a maximum of six. Six is ​​already much better than infinity, right? And for sure, out of these six options, there is one that will help you discover your talent, is most interesting to you, and it is with them that you can light up. You already know it, distinguish it from the background of all others, you feel that it is really yours, but eternal fears and doubts do not allow you to fully realize this. Such a phenomenon can be figuratively called "the well-known meaningless".

    What if I make the wrong choice

    Making a choice that will be decisive in many respects is a big responsibility for any person. As we found out above, the fear of making a mistake can keep you in passive “my options are limitless” mode for a long time. Here are a few reasons why you shouldn't worry about making the wrong choice, but should start doing something so you don't live in perpetual limbo:

    When it is necessary to make a choice, but you do not make it, this is also a choice.
    William James

    The first thing to understand is that not making a choice is no worse than making the wrong choice. Refusal to make a choice is a kind of default choice. If upon acceptance specific solution some doors close before us, but if the choice is not made, many doors close before us.

    When you make the decision to follow one path, many perspectives open up before you that would never have been available to you if you had remained on your original starting point.

    If you choose one path, it does not mean that you will follow it to the end.. Yes, every choice has consequences, and sometimes it can be difficult to change course. But do not set yourself up in a negative way at the very beginning. professional path, do not perceive work as an eternal sentence. There is great news: any experience, even gained through a profession that you are not going to do all your life, will come in handy someday anyway.

    You will never know if you like it or not unless you try it. Try, explore, find your own. Trial and error is one of the surest ways to find what you have a soul for.

    The feeling of limitless possibilities is intoxicating in its magnitude, but at the same time makes you feel anxious and insecure about tomorrow. Once you choose one path, you will feel that you are firmly on the ground.


    We are going to one of the most prominent Russian psychologists, Professor Alexei Nikolaevich Leontiev.

    We are infected with the impatience of our young readers and ask many questions at once:

    What does science know about the possibilities of developing musical, mathematical, linguistic, visual abilities? Is it possible to improve the work of the sense organs, the sharpness of perceptions? Are there purely innate abilities?

    The small office, or rather, the professor's laboratory, is loaded to overflowing with instruments. And they seem to warn that everything that will be discussed here is based not on simple reasoning, but on facts, on experiments.

    But contrary to expectation, the professor begins, as it seems to us at first, very far away.

    From the moment of formation modern man, over the past 40-50 thousand years, the conditions in which he lived continuously changed faster and faster. However, morphologically, that is, according to the structure of his body, a person remained the same “reasonable person”. In general, the rates of biological variability and historical development totally disproportionate...

    We would like to object: how then does a person adapt to new conditions?

    But the professor does not like too hasty interlocutors; he stops us with a warning gesture of his flexible, expressive hands.

    The main thing is ahead, this is just the starting point! As for disproportion, it is, if you like, natural. After all, if the new qualities of the organism were quickly fixed biologically, this would only slow down socio-historical progress.

    Alexei Nikolaevich continues his story. He leads us into the world of his searches, experiences, discoveries, convictions.

    The abilities of people crystallize in the products of their activities, he says. People of each subsequent generation begin their lives in the world of objects and phenomena created by their predecessors. There is a whole ocean of riches before the man who has come into the world. But how to master these "objectified" abilities of other people? How does the process of assimilation work? individuals achievements of socio-historical development?

    We can say that every person learns to be a person. To live in society, it is not enough for him what nature gave him at birth. He must still develop his specific abilities, which means that he must and must act!

    Science now knows many examples when, due to certain accidents, children from the very early age found themselves outside human society. And what? They remained at the level of animal development. Not only did they not develop thinking and speech, they did not even develop their own human upright gait - they walked on all fours.

    And here reverse example. In Paraguay lives a small tribe of Guavquils, one of the most backward of the known tribes today. It roams in the wild thickets, not communicating with anyone and avoiding any meetings with other people. Only once did specialists manage to hear their language, which turned out to be unusually primitive.

    And so, running away from the ethnographic expedition, the Guayquils lost a two-year-old girl. It was impossible to return her to her parents: the whole tribe disappeared. The French ethnographer Vellar took the baby to France and raised her in his family. Twenty years later - by 1958 - she was no different from any educated European woman, spoke three languages ​​and herself, following the example of her teacher, was engaged in ethnography.

    This fact well illustrates the idea that every person, regardless of race, is capable of assimilating modern culture. If only conditions were created for this! But we want to know not only about the possibilities of ordinary education. And Alexey Nikolayevich starts a conversation about music.

    Isn't it true that musical talent has always been considered, and even now many believe that it is

    Scrap purely innate, happy "gift of the gods"? Musicians are considered to be people with a special hearing that is not inherent in mere mortals. But special studies scientists completely refute this myth.

    Do you know, - continues the professor, - that European languages- timbre, in which differences in the timbre of sound are of primary importance. But there are also tonal languages ​​based on the difference in tone. It was quite natural, therefore, to assume that a person who from childhood gets used to finely distinguishing tones will have very good pitch hearing. We surveyed large group Vietnamese students and made sure that this is the case.

    Our data, by the way, completely coincided with the studies of the English professor Taylor, according to whom “tonal deafness, which is common occurrence in England or America, is practically unknown among those African peoples who speak tonal languages.

    As you can see, the ability is not bestowed by fate, but created by the conditions of life, practice. And so, if the formation of abilities does not occur by itself, spontaneously, they can be created consciously. This is exactly the experiment that we did.

    100 adult Muscovites were examined. Approximately 30 of them turned out to be "deaf" to the pitch, and this, as you know, is the main thing in musical ear. And with such "deaf" classes began according to a specially developed methodology. After a few sessions, they began to accurately distinguish the pitch of the sound. Here is another proof that ear for music can be formed - to form quickly, actively!

    Of course, in childhood, the education of hearing is more effective, its results are stronger. This is perfectly proved by the experience of the music teacher MP Kravets, who works in Podolsk. He accepts children into his school without any selection for hearing, and look what wonderful musicians they turn out to be!

    We hurriedly write down in a notebook: “Kravets, Podolsk” - and listen further, afraid to miss the thread of a fascinating story ...

    Virtually everything can be developed by training. human abilities- and mathematical thinking, and the ability to draw, and memory, and, finally, even such abilities, the existence of which we are not aware of ...

    For example?

    For example, skin sensitivity to light rays. Imagine that a person puts his hand on the hole made in the table. He does not know that light, let's say, green, begins to fall on his palm from below. All heat rays are absorbed by the water filter so that only light remains. Will the person feel it? The first time, of course not. And after some training, people began to feel some, as they said, "stream in the palm", "something like a wave."

    New sensations are sometimes very ancient sensations, as if hidden by nature in the body's reserve storerooms. Man retains them from those ancient stages of development when he needed them. Then, out of necessity, these functions became dull, but if the need arises, they can serve again. It develops in deaf people very subtle perception vibrations, in the blind, hearing, smell, touch are aggravated to limits not characteristic of the sighted.

    Specialists working at the Moscow Institute of Defectology can give many such examples.

    We write down one more address: “Pogodinka, Institute of Defectology of the Academy pedagogical sciences Russia”, and ask Alexei Nikolayevich a question:

    You said that there have been no significant changes in the human body over the course of social history. But if new functions are being formed, shouldn't some organs be formed to perform them? Is function possible without an organ?

    Yes, scientific point vision requires the recognition that since there is a function, there must be an organ, - the professor says thoughtfully.

    He is silent for a minute, and then suddenly and cheerfully asks: - Do you know what a children's "constructor" is? Wheels, screws, nuts... You can assemble different things from them - the more details, the more things. So, here the man, - and he touches his forehead with his finger, - is the most magnificent designer! 14-17 billion nerve cells! Do you understand what can be created from them?

    In the brain, under the influence of a variety of activities, there are sustainable systems reflexes. These are the new organs that a person did not have at birth and which he developed during his life.

    Does this idea of ​​an organ seem unusual to you? - notes Aleksey Nikolaevich. - But still the remarkable Russian physiologist Ukhtomsky said that it is not necessary to associate something morphologically constant with the concept of an organ.

    And, concretizing his thought, he continues:

    Specially human abilities are not contained in ready-made in the brain, they are not determined by its innate features. Biologically inherited, individual properties are only a condition for the formation mental functions and abilities. The main thing is the world around a person, his own work and struggle.

    What explains talent, you ask? I would explain it by a particularly favorable combination of many conditions and circumstances of development.

    AT capitalist society mastering the heights of human culture is available to a few. Everyone, without exception, learns from us, the aesthetic education of children begins from an early age, there are dozens of forms of improving knowledge and skills in various fields.

    With us, everyone can creatively participate in all manifestations of life, which means that everyone can “find himself”, develop his talent, his abilities.

    I repeat: what is innate in a person is not the very abilities, but the ability to form them. And they are formed through active activity.

    So, in our reality, human capabilities ...

    Boundless! - concludes Alexei Nikolaevich Leontiev.

    We return along the echoing university corridors. Evening, but in laboratories and offices they work: there are lectures, classes of seminars, circles. And outside the windows - flooded with rays of the setting sun, full of spring freshness Moscow. And I want to repeat like a song:

    Human possibilities are endless! Know about it, friends! Know this to everyone who wants to achieve a lot and is not afraid of hard work!
