Slave psychology. Psychology of slavery

"A recent slave...becomes the mostunbridled despot, as soon as he acquiresthe opportunity to be the ruler of your neighbor,- M. Gorky.

Freedom! From whom and from what?

Since childhood, we dream of freedom. But from whom and what do we want to be free? I touched on this question in part in the article "That sweet, sweet word "freedom"!" Our naive childhood desires to be independent of everything and everyone dissipate with time. We grow up and understand that it is simply impossible to be absolutely free. There are constant "buts" and "ifs". If it were that... but there is no this... And we fall into the trap of false ideas about freedom:

  1. If I were an adult. We are growing up. And besides freedom, you don’t have to get up early in the garden, school, institute, there is an obligation to get up for work, earn money. Nothing in life comes easy, you have to pay for everything. And now, recently grown up children, having become adults, are already dreaming of becoming small again, hiding from everyday problems behind their father's broad back, or behind their mother's hem ...
  2. If I had a lot of money... This is another trap. It is no secret that if it is impossible to live without money in our world, where everything has its own price, then at least it is very difficult to live without money. Another thing is what you will do if you have a lot of them. Once they showed some kind of TV game in which they won a substantial amount. Seeing this, our daughter said: "I wish I had this money now". To the question, what are you going to do with them, she answered, I will spend on clothes and girlfriends. Many people are simply not capable of managing money. Money, as I already wrote in the article "His Majesty the Dollar" only has weight when you can manage it. If you are unable to control them, they begin to control you. And it doesn't matter whether you become "Plyushkin" or a spender, you become a slave to money. And we are not talking about any financial freedom anymore ...
  3. Power is the main incentive of a slave. Another trap is power. Many believe that, having received power, you become God. But receiving it, the majority become despots, tyrants, and just outright bastards. Just like with money, you need to "be able" to handle power. And it is naive to believe that having received power, you become omnipotent. Becoming in power, you understand that you become not only higher than someone in terms of position in society, but also responsible not only for yourself, but also for those who are in your subordination. And absolute power... It's just an illusion for those who don't have this power. First you want to become the head of the organization, then the mayor, then the governor, then the president ... And constantly, becoming "head and shoulders above" someone, you understand that no matter who you are, you still will not be free. And with freedom of action, comes a bunch of duties and responsibilities. That is why some people, realizing the useless race for power and money, gave up everything and moved to Goa, and to Balu, they live almost in tents, eating modestly and dressing modestly, enjoying a little freedom and renouncing duties and responsibilities. Probably only a slave, like no one else, wants to become a ruler. Therefore, the "slaves" most often strive for power. And woe to those to whom they become "masters."

And there are just an unlimited number of such false ideas. Everyone has their own "bouquet" of these false goals. As a result, we come to the conclusion that absolute freedom is a myth.

Money - can you buy everything with it?

There is an opinion that having a lot of money is cool. That you can buy whatever you want with them. Of course, you can do a lot, but... You can buy a book, but you can't buy a mind. You can buy sex, but not love. You can buy an icon, but not faith. Relationships, but not friends. A place in a graveyard, but not in heaven.

The idea that having a "heap" of money gives omnipotence is just as erroneous as the opinion that power itself gives independence. Perhaps the most "free" and "independent" are the homeless in the garbage. Nobody asks or demands anything from them. They don't think about taxes and investments. They are not afraid to fall tomorrow the dollar or rise.

Money is just energy helping us to develop and live, but in no way replaces our basic life values. Money cannot be higher than a person. For gasoline will never be higher than a car. We put gas in the car. But burning it, the car rolls. Gasoline alone cannot make a car move. Forgetting these common truths, we mislead ourselves. Many perform the task of fooling people. Many media outlets do just that, setting false goals for us. But all these false goals lead to only one thing, serving the interests of others.

"Was there a boy?"

Our whole life is a constant striving. The desire for power, wealth, and as a result, for freedom and independence. Many gain one and lose another. One friend dreamed of a cool car. For the sake of this dream of his, he sold his apartment and bought a car. But soon he had an accident, smashed the car to smithereens, and was left without a car and without an apartment.

Another dreamed of a home. Built a cottage. But since there was no money for workers, he built everything with his own hands. As a result, having built a large cottage, he lost all his health.

When a person sets goals for himself in life, this is very good. Purpose gives us an incentive to move. Losing purpose in life is the first step towards death. But you need to think over those goals that you are really able to achieve, which will not harm you or the people around you, those who care about you and who care about you. And freedom… Freedom is just an inner state of a person. And a slave can be free if he does not see inner enslavement in his soul. After all, the word slave is just a word that gives some limitation. But sometimes no more than some "free", driving themselves into the shackles of false goals.

In fact, we are all slaves. Slaves of external circumstances. We don't live where we want to. I want to live in paradise. Not hot, not cold. To do nothing and everything was. But we live - some in the cold, others in hunger, others in the heat. We do not do what we want, but what we can, or what those who are above us will force us to do ...

Ideal conditions on earth just No. More precisely, we create ideals for ourselves. And if you accept your present as an ideal, then it turns out that you live ideally. More L.N. Tolstoy said: "When grief visits you, look around and you will see that there are people whose fate is even worse than yours".

Be free from prejudice. Do not put other people's ideals at the forefront of your corner. Life is not all pleasure, and there is no need to reproach yourself that not everything is "perfect" in life. We become slaves not as before, being captured by the invaders, but when we buy into a fairy tale about the "sweet life". Never be afraid of anything. What happens is not to be avoided. And the wolves are afraid not to go into the forest ...

No one enslaves you as much as your own stupidity. People always tend to make mistakes, but most often they blame someone else for this, but not themselves. Suffering is voluntary.

Good luck to you! And the strength to realize the true path in your life, what it should be for you, and not for someone. All the best to you!

It is a paradox, but in the modern world, where, it would seem, there should be a reverent and respectful attitude towards time, as the most valuable resource, it is squandered at an unimaginable pace, used quite often completely irrationally, or, to be more precise, simply mediocre.

What does this lead to?

To the fact that the larger and more significant the organization, firm, corporation, the less efficient it works, the more time is wasted by the employees of that company.

You can argue that I'm wrong, citing the example of the giants of the market, with millions and billions of dollars in income, a huge turnover, an incredible amount of sales of their goods.

But this is not a convincing argument for me. What is convincing for me is what I encountered and what I personally saw.

You can say that such companies employ thousands and tens of thousands of people, thanks to whom the company became what it is, thanks to which it began to bring huge profits.

Yes, and no, and rather no.

I will say this: all the profits of companies of this type occur just despite the fact that they employ a lot of people. After all, the more people work, the greater the drop in the efficiency of their activities, the more ineptly the resources of the company in which they work are spent.

That is why we can safely say that if a large company exists for a long time and successfully, then this is an indicator of its simply unimaginable "survivability".

This suggests that people holding top management positions are so talented and intelligent businessmen that can handle thousands of not-so-talented workers and, in spite of everything, to bring the company to decent profits, which are enough not only for the salaries of employees.

Where such confidence? Very simple. Suffice it to recall the huge number of cases when a developing company, sometimes consisting of a single person, shows good profits, development is proceeding rapidly. But there comes a moment when the founder realizes that he alone (or two, three) will not “pull” all this further, as the growth goes on, the amount of work that needs to be done increases, and the person hires workers who will have to take over part of his work.

The entrepreneur usually expects conscientious work and dedication from workers, but that was not the case: the slave psychology of hired workers does not at all correspond to the expectations of the founder of the business. It was he who could work on his "brainchild" for many hours a day, showing great efficiency and endurance. It was he who could do so many things in a week that another would not master even in a month.

Often, when hiring people, an entrepreneur believes that they will work as selflessly as he does, in extreme cases - a little worse.

But this is not so - people simply "pull off the service" and rather run home. The entrepreneur does not understand: how can one do in two days what he himself can do in two or three hours?

“Well, I would have done this work myself, and fired the workers”- you say. Everything would be fine, but he no longer has the opportunity to do what he did before - the enterprise, the business is growing so rapidly that a person has to do work of a completely different level, more coordinating, informational, analytical, a person is more on the road, communicates with partners, etc. And for the work that he used to do himself, he hired workers.

His expectations, however, are not justified, and here a person has two options - throw your business, or work on trying to keep his business alive.

The entrepreneur must hire many more people than he originally thought so that they can complete the required amount of work. And the point here is not in the entrepreneur, who cannot calculate how many people he will need, but in the employees who perform their duties. half-heartedly and through the sleeves. An entrepreneur judges by himself - I can, so others can! And it is right. Everyone can, but the slave psychology of 90% of the population leads to the opposite.

And so it turns out that a businessman hires more and more people to perform a certain amount of work, but in order for the company not to remain in the red due to the mediocre work of subordinates, the head-entrepreneur must offer such a useful product or service to society so that it is enough for him to pay back, the enterprise, for himself, and for his slaves, the number of which is increasing, and the efficiency of their activities is falling.

In fact, we come to the conclusion that even among entrepreneurs there will be very few people who will successfully solve this most difficult task, so most businessmen fail, bankruptcy soon after they significantly expand their business (in the sense that more slaves).

So it turns out that hired workers are a kind of development brake. It is understandable “What am I going to hunchback on my uncle for a salary? He’s making money with a shovel here, and I only get so many thousand a month!!” Naturally, greed, envy and other “bright” feelings of workers are easy to understand, but by no means justify. It is clear that the one who manages you and pays you money is superior to you, and this is not pleasant to anyone. Naturally, you really don’t want to see the success of the person you work for - everything that follows from here.

Just asking “What is stopping you? What is stopping you from increasing your efficiency?

Why will you always scold the authorities, the firm, the state, but will continue to do what you are doing where you are doing it now?

What prevents you from working with dedication, selflessly, with passion? If you work for yourself, you will, in the same time as at your current job, do many times more useful work and, accordingly, increase your income many times over.

Oh, you can't quit your job? Okay, everything happens, with difficulty, but I believe.

Oh, you can't even dedicate two or three hours a day to organizing yourself an additional source of income? Can you? – Start today and the results will exceed your expectations.

You can not? - Remain a slave, and complain about life further. Although no - a more constructive ending especially for you: Take over responsibility for your life and then you will be able to overcome at least the previous paragraph about 2-3 hours a day.

Your Dmitry Naumenko

Eighty percent of the psychological characteristics of a person depend on his subconscious, which contains not only an individual history, but also his archetypal features of the collective unconscious, often determining not only the psychological type of an individual, but even an entire nation.

Consider the state of a person and his external reactions, containing in the depths of his subconscious the spirit of a slave, which can form in a person his spirit, which determines his relationship with himself, with God and with the world around him. One of the most important reasons that shape the spirit of the people and the spirit of every person belonging to this people is religion. And the more rigid its dogmas are, and the more carefully they are carried out, the more profound changes occur over time, both in an individual person and in the whole people who profess this religion. We read the Old Testament, which for the Jews is an edification of what they should be, and we see that it is full of the spirit of slavery that filled the realm of their subconscious.

“Your god is the devil,” says Jesus Christ to the scribes and Pharisees. But who, if not they, are the bearers of the spirit of Judaism, the spirit of the fallen Dennitsa-Lucifer? “How you fell from the sky, Dennitsa, son of the dawn! Crashed on the ground, trampling the nations. And he said in his heart: “I will ascend to Heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God and I will sit on a mountain in a host of gods, on the edge of the north (!); I will ascend to the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High. But you are thrown into hell, into the depths of the underworld. (Isaiah 14:12-15). But Jesus Christ calls himself: "I am ... the bright and morning star" (Rev. 22 ch. 16 st.). The dawn star here refers to the morning star, Venus. In the Jewish and Christian traditions, the star is understood as a messianic symbol. But Lucifer claims to be messianic, and Jesus is the messiah from the very beginning. In the first, his ego is manifested, and in the second, the destiny given to him from above.

And this fallen angel, Dennitsa-Lucifer, having a deeply slavish soul, whose pride sought to rise to the host of gods on the edge of the north, in order to become like the Almighty, was cast down into the worlds of darkness. The great asura - Lucifer, the bearer of pride and a sense of superiority over everything that exists on Earth, the father of lies (as Jesus Christ spoke of him), the bearer of all vices, perverting the Divine truth and consciously opposing it, dissolved in human hearts, which became the spokesmen of his will and his slavery. And although these people do not strive to be like the Almighty, the pride that has settled in their hearts, hiding under the changeable mask of a social chameleon, is reflected on their faces and their attitude to the reality of this world. The pride of these people is an unconscious desire to compensate for the deepest spirit of slavery that fills the entire spiritual emptiness of the abyss of the slavish insignificance of their souls. It is the spirit of slavery behind pride that makes them despise all who are not marked with the seal of Lucifer. And at the same time, ignorance does not allow them to realize the true reason for their thirst for power, honors, wealth, and contempt for all of humanity, which for them is only a means to achieve social heights, where they will receive, as they assume, the highest freedom and the highest pleasures. “I will ascend into Heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on a mountain in the assembly of the gods, on the edge of the north; I will ascend to the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High ... ". This aspiration of Lucifer on the material plane is realized by the carriers of his will and his spirit, but only within their capabilities.

There are two ways to get satisfaction by using power. The first of them, which can be called Divine, is the creation of the highest harmony and prosperity of the subject people, when there is a unity of power and people, and the basis of this unity is service. In this unity, people in power sacrifice themselves for the good of the people and the entire state, serve it. In turn, the people donate their lives and their work for the benefit of the state, which is also a service. True sacrifice is always a service that brings joy and satisfaction, which can be higher than any pleasure, because it is satisfaction with one's life. The second way of obtaining pleasure using power is directly opposite to the first, and it can be called satanic. Its essence lies in the extreme suppression of everything human in a person, turning him into an absolute slave, who can be despised for his irresponsibility, depravity, slavish obedience and primitive mind and desires. It is very important for Lucifer to be surrounded by those whom he despises, and in this contempt he rises in his conceit. For him, the impotence and slavish adoration of his victim is pleasant, and everything that surpasses him in the light of truth and therefore is inaccessible to his snares of lies is unbearable.

There are two ways to get satisfaction on the paths of wealth. The first of them can be called Divine, and is based on the principles of justice, which is based on the distribution of social wealth, both for the needs of the state and for the needs of its citizens. At the same time, the distributors of national wealth are not their owners, and at the same time, the creators of these wealth, in the course of distribution, receive only that part of them that is necessary for their well-being. With a fair distribution, the amount of remuneration for work is determined not by the social position of the employee, but by his diligence and individual need. Zhores Alferov in one of the conversations said that a person's capture by a thirst for profit leads to the extinction of his creative burning. And he is absolutely right, since creativity and business are not compatible. If a person calculates how much profit he can receive for his creative work, then the desire for profit will quickly extinguish the flame of creativity. This is one of the reasons why there are no creative people among businessmen. And lies and all sorts of tricks in business should not be associated with creativity. If we consider creativity and business from the standpoint of the level of vibrations of consciousness, then it is clear that creativity and spirituality have higher vibrations than business and self-interest. It's like two poles, of which only one can be open for a person. Here, objections may follow that many thousands of Russian scientists have left for the West, since there are better laboratory equipment and higher salaries. True, they left, but not to do business, but to do scientific work and not think about the material side of life. It would be fair if the entire human society was based on this socio-economic principle.

The second mode of satisfaction in the ways of wealth belongs to Lucifer. The main principle of his existence and his passion is the pursuit of greatness and pleasure, so he appropriates everything that can satisfy his boundless passion. He would like to have all the riches of the Earth and even the Universe, which would be a symbol of his greatness, his superiority over everything that exists in the worlds of the lower sphere. At the same time, neither morality nor compassion for those who may be on the path of his passion exist for him, because there is no warmth and light in his heart. And at the same time, he is not cruel to his victims, just as a predatory insect, for example, a spider, is not cruel when it eats its still alive trembling victim - it simply satisfies its hunger. At the same time, Lucifer's mind remains prudent and cold. For him, there are no such concepts as lies, betrayal, deliberate concealment of the truth or distortion of it. For him, there is only a goal and means to achieve it. Striving for absolute superiority over all that exists, at the top of his aspirations, Lucifer will not share his significance with anyone and, therefore, in the Old Testament, he says, referring to his people: “Do not worship other gods ...” (4 books. Kings chapter 19, articles 6,7). Here, the analogy of the US desire for a unipolar world, not to share power with someone else at the top of the human pyramid, involuntarily arises. A religious person may disagree with the statement that Lucifer and the god of the Jews are one and the same. But once again let us turn our attention to the words of Christ addressed to the Jews: “Your father is the Devil; and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning (here refers to the murder of Abel by Cain, who was prompted to this by the devil) and did not stand in the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks his own, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8, ch. 44).

Pleasures and pleasures can also be realized on two levels. In one case, a person gets pleasure and pleasure from the fact that he does not live for himself. And these pleasures and pleasures are not in front of other people and not as a result of pride in oneself, but because living for other people or for God always brings true joy and pleasure.

And pleasures and pleasures can also be for oneself, and there can be many sources of this in the material world. But in all cases, these experiences contain a sense of self-satisfaction, superiority over those who do not have the material opportunity to receive the same pleasures and pleasures. Contempt for those who are deprived of the opportunity to live for pleasure, and are forced to survive, although they create benefits for the social elite with their work.

In every living being there is a desire that is opposite to its darkest and most unconscious part, a desire to surpass it or, if it is impossible to surpass it, then at least compensate for it, with the illusion of power on the manifested Earth plane. Moreover, in the Earthly world, the realm of illusions, it is immeasurably easier than in the higher worlds of light. For some people, this desire to surpass was the beginning of their spiritual path, for others - a thirst for power and a thirst for pleasure. And Lucifer laid the foundation for these two opposite paths when he entered into human souls. And if the former, on the path to Divine truth, rejected the promises of the fallen spirit, then in others he found a dwelling consonant with him and made them his spokesmen in this material world, and formed his own kingdom in the depths of their subconsciousness. His pride needed to be worshiped, and his tormenting slavish part could only be satisfied by power, unlimited power over all of humanity. And in his desire to surpass the Creator of everything that exists on Earth, the Spirit of Darkness decided to bring the human race down to the state of extreme and dirty nothingness in order to laugh at the only God: “Look what a miserable, insignificant creature you created on Earth, a himself the king of nature and the pinnacle of creation. This being will be the executor of your will, not yours, but mine, and I will rule over him forever and ever.” Living in the souls of people who from time immemorial devoted themselves to the service of mammon, he filled them not only with his slavish essence, but also with pride and an insatiable desire for power. And the bearers of the darkness and lies of Lucifer, the bearers of his contempt for everything Divine on Earth, persecuted by all the peoples of the world, they dream and strive to establish the power of their god over everything that exists in this world, to extinguish the light in those souls in which it is just beginning to flare up and in those in which it glimmers a little, so that there are no those left among the human hearts who could one day become carriers of light. It is very important for him to make the Earth his foot, and people - the executors of his destructive and corrupting will.

Everything that happens in the modern world is an attempt by the spirit of lies to establish its power in humanity in order to sit on top of human destinies and manage them, enjoying its power and its wealth. And the executors of the will of Lucifer, whose souls were deceived by the aspirations of the spirit of deceit, gladly accepted him into their hearts and followed the paths that give them power, glory and wealth. All their paths are marked with tears and groans of the peoples trampled under their violence and lies.

“... Clap your hands, all nations, shout to God with a voice of joy; for the Lord Most High is terrible, the great king over all the earth; subjugated peoples and tribes under our feet to us ... ”(Psalms 46 ch. 2 - 4 verses and 10 verses). And they envelop with lies those who do not accept their ideas, and who do not follow the paths convenient for the spirit of darkness, and then appropriate what they did not produce. And all this is done in the name of their god, whom Jesus Christ called the devil.

In the soul of every person there are dark cellars in which the spirit of a slave and his indestructible pride dwell, but for different people this dark part of it is not equally expressed, and each person must make every effort possible for him to get rid of the spirit of darkness that dwells in the depths. his subconscious.

The slavery of man, first of all, is manifested in his dependence on the lower nature. Desires and pleasures are his goal, to which he strives throughout his life. At the same time, illness, suffering and the fear of death constantly haunt him until the days of his life on Earth are over. And, perhaps, he realizes at the end of his path that everything he aspired to and from which he constantly ran away were only illusions that had no real value, that the purpose of everything that surrounded him, and what he surrounded himself with, was different. And perhaps at the end of his journey he will realize a no, that his own life also had a different purpose, but he used it, like a royal seal, to “chopped nuts”.

A person does not realize the origins of the thirst for power, wealth, pleasure; and he does not realize the causes of the fear of death and the desire to avoid suffering. He is not even aware of the power of the ego over himself, because he has a very strange and not yet fully understood property to appropriate all kinds of states, desires, aspirations, and even features of his personality. All human aspirations - for power, wealth, pleasure and even destruction, are a perverted desire of the inner part of the human being for Divine truth. But this does not mean at all that a person should leave his body to the Earth and go into nirvana, then the embodied soul will not fulfill its destiny. It must become the master of the outer part of the human being and make it a perfect instrument of the Divine will in his work on Earth, and for this man is given every opportunity. And it seems paradoxical that a person, and the external conditions in which he lives, and his Divine soul - everything was prepared for the Divine work on Earth to be done, but everything did not happen as one might expect. Instead of a free person, we have a tribe of slaves on Earth, which are not only completely enslaved by the forces of lower nature, without knowing it, but are even proud of the fact that they follow its laws and fulfill its whims. Looking at the reality of the modern world, one might think that the Divine left it to the mercy of fate, and the dark forces took advantage of this and seized power over all of humanity. This could happen only in one, absolutely incredible, case - if God ceased to be God. In the heart and mind of every person there should be an unshakable faith in God and confidence that everything that happens in the world corresponds to his plans. “Even a hair from your head will not fall without His will,” said Jesus Christ. Therefore, everything that happens in the modern world, in its smallest details, corresponds to the plans of God. There is no connivance to the dark forces in which they could do what they want. True, these forces, like man, appropriate to themselves the desires, aspirations and attitudes towards the reality of this world and the reality of themselves, but in reality, behind all this there is the only Divine will, hiding itself behind the ignorance of appropriation.

When we talk about the creation of the universe and man, we mean the completion of some kind of Divine plan. But, in reality, when we say that God “became all this,” we are only taking a snapshot of the reality of this world, its kind of histological cut. After that, we begin to consider and study this photo, being sure that we know the reality of the Universe at the macro or micro levels. In fact, the Universe is in a state of continuous change, in which there is no place for accidents and assumptions, and there is nothing final, complete in it, no matter at what level we consider it. The Universe is an ocean of energy-consciousness, which can be neither static nor chaotic, the dynamics of which would have no direction. On our earthly plane, there is an intensive process of manifestation of everything low and destructive that needs to be transformed. This is what the dark asuric forces are currently doing, using people chosen for this purpose.

Evolution never happens for many, although many participate in it. Remember the words of Christ when he said: "Many are called, but few are chosen." Notice he didn't say that there weren't enough who agreed to follow the call, and the elect weren't asked if they wanted to be elected. But from the words of Jesus Christ it is clear that everything happens according to the will of God and only ignorance does not allow a person to realize this will. But this does not mean that everything is fatally inevitable - many roads lead to the same goal and a person has the opportunity to choose one of them, but he cannot choose a goal. He chooses only roads to the goal for which he lives on Earth, and the goals are predetermined for him by God.

All mankind is like a pyramid, the body of which serves as a support for its top. Those who are chosen by the Divine for the new world, ascending the steps of the pyramid of humanity, give to each of its levels what belongs to it. And when the spiritual seeker rises to the very top and is ready to climb it, he must give up the last thing that belongs to the pyramid of humanity - the illusion of himself. And then, he takes another step beyond the top, because the pyramid becomes for him a springboard to his immortal future. Thus, in this world everything happens as it is established by God, but for a person this is hidden by the ignorance of appropriation. The spiritual path is the means by which the seeker is gradually freed from the illusions and ignorance of this world.

In the earthly world, there are many pseudo-spiritual paths, which are a mixture of aspirations. At their center is the striving for Divine truth, but the farther from the center and closer to the periphery, the more these strivings are perverted and turn into strivings for the values ​​of this material world.

True religion should generate in a religious person not fear and slavish worship, but joy, because unity with God is always joy, and in it is freedom, but not slavish worship. God does not need the luxury of temples, which causes the admiration of parishioners, he needs our souls. “The temple of God is within us,” said Jesus Christ, and sincerity is more valuable for the spiritual path, but not the unconditional fulfillment of external rites. Fear and a state of slavery abide in a person only when he worships the devil. Of course, one may ask: what about the fear of God, the fear of being abandoned by God? If we compare the fear of being abandoned by God with the fear of a sinner before the hell after death, then the fear of being abandoned is more like sadness, grief, longing for unity with God, because in this case, a sincere spiritual seeker has an inner emptiness and a state when, it seems, not on what to lean on. That is why Jesus Christ exclaimed: “My God, my God! Why did you leave me!"

If a person's attention is focused on the Highest, then states belonging to the Highest should arise in him, and if on Lucifer, then the states will be corresponding. When Jesus Christ called God his father, was he afraid of him? And what was the face of Yahweh that a person should not see him, since, having seen, he can die? If beautiful, then from the beautiful they can come to an indescribable delight.

The humility of a slave is the humility of a person who in this material world considers himself the lowest, petty, meaningless, in comparison with other people and, of course, before God. But a truly spiritual person does not feel worthless in front of anyone. He does not contain pride and at the same time does not humiliate himself before anyone.

The spirit of slavery is always inferiority, rejection, the desire to compensate for this spirit in oneself. But this longing will never be satisfied, because he who lives in a slave spirit does not know what the spirit of freedom is. Hence his desire to dominate others in this material world, since he knows no other way to get rid of the spirit of bondage. The social position of a slave may not correspond to the free spirit of this person, and one who occupies the position of a master may have a slave soul at his core. Therefore, the slave will never be able to satisfy himself with the position of master, even with unlimited power, because there are no external means by which to get rid of the spirit of slavery. The slave can never satiate himself with the pleasures that he thinks are the prerogative of the free. A slave will never satiate himself with material wealth that could compensate for his inner poverty and at least create the illusion of completeness. The writer Otto Weininger, the author of the famous book: “Gender and Character”, realized in himself the spirit of a slave belonging to his people, and tried to free himself from it by means available to him, without indulging this spirit, but he could not overcome it, which led him to at the age of twenty-three to suicide. It is impossible for a person to explain what freedom is, which he often confuses with permissiveness, power, unlimited wealth, unlimited pleasures, which in turn make a person even more a slave than he was before. The only path to freedom is the path of the heart, on which a person can completely free himself from the power of the lower nature over him. Only then will he become a free man.
