Rules of Life
The idea of “one’s Way” — a cornerstone of the pagan outlook on life (see “the Way of the Volkhv“). Consequently, it is the search for — and subsequently following this Way that receives the greatest attention in regulating life.
As mentioned, the starting point is the view that the everyday world is false, a sham. This falsity has a very ordinary cause. We live in a world of descriptions created not by us. It is not we who discovered what things are and what they are for; it is not we who distinguished them out of the surrounding reality. Others did that for us. Family, neighborhood, the press, and television form our description of the world. Usually this description is never questioned; it is accepted as the primary reality.
Doubt about externally imposed descriptions is the first step beyond everyday life.
Once that first step is taken, the numerous gaps and strained assumptions in the existing description of the world immediately become evident, and the thought arises that it fails to reflect certain important facts.
Traditional teaching is aimed precisely at undermining this worldview — not as an intellectual conviction, but as a deep-felt realization.
One of the propositions of the routine depiction of the world that is called into question is the idea that people’s actions are independent. Simple observation shows that people act inconsistently and contradict themselves without noticing. Such observation suggests that, alongside the person’s personality, there are other driving forces behind their behavior. Psychology attributes these driving forces to manifestations of the subconscious; mythological thought (with its tendency to personify forces) describes them as so-called “parasites of consciousness” — beings alien to the person’s personality that cause them to act ineffectively. It becomes clear that as soon as we stop controlling our lives, many others are ready to take over.
Thus, making one’s outlook broader and more flexible and striving for self-control in one’s life are essential for a full life.
I completely agree with the author’s position. Creatively.
A creative person truly becomes happy when they realize their True Will.
It’s particularly amusing to observe people in the moment of their speech. There is a clear feeling that it’s not the person speaking but someone speaking for them. And if it’s during Akasha, especially intensified by Saturn, it’s even more amusing)
Are there beings that make a person act in some way, but effectively?
It is impossible to ‘force’ effective action. Power increases only from the implementation of one’s own will. This means that no matter how perfect and effective someone else’s will may be, by fulfilling it, one cannot achieve Power simply because this will is not one’s own. The most constructive thing that other beings can do is help a person pave the way to their own will, their own desires, their own realizations.
NRDV are beings that can help if not to act effectively, but to influence you, which will lead to your change in actions. For example, if this being is from the forces of Light, then by influencing you, you will feel a desire to constantly act, etc. Whether this will be effective depends on you.
