The factors that help to give one the peace of mind and security to live according to the laws of the Holy Scriptures, the laws of the Original Source, are many and can be described at length. But the most important factor is faith. It should be our main tool.
Security is also one of the most important factors for a happy, peaceful, and successful life in faith and righteousness.
Anything is possible in these difficult times. Sometimes danger strikes. What should you do if your family is in danger? After all, a believer is a peaceful, calm, and thinking person. It is necessary to take advantage of all the factors that will help you to protect yourself and your loved ones from any kind of difficulties and dangers. It is very important to be aware of the possible consequences of your actions. All of this should be taken seriously and with great responsibility. First of all, based on common sense, any danger should be avoided if there is even the slightest possibility of it. Risk should never be underestimated. And it does not matter how strong you are. It is necessary to build a life position, avoiding provocations and dangerous situations because it is a waste of energy, which is necessary for the application in really important cases. It is necessary to get rid of emotions that do not allow you to avoid provocations or negative situations: pride, anger, envy, jealousy, irritability, etc. — this is unnecessary for normal life. You will lose much more by giving in to these emotions. There is no point in proving anything to anyone. You just have to draw conclusions and learn lessons from such moments so that you will not encounter such things again in the future. Sometimes it is not easy to get rid of such feelings, but you have to work on it. For example, in order not to get angry with someone who has offended you, you should first think of that person in a good light. And if someone has offended you in any way, you should first try to justify what they've done so that you can forgive them. After all, the cause of his rudeness may be an illness or just a black streak in his life. In this way, you can put an end to all negative emotions. And you get rid of those thoughts when you forgive someone.
You only need to act decisively when you are backed into a corner. There are no options left when your family is in physical danger and you are, as they say, cornered. This is the time when you must be able to overcome your fear and battle to the death. It is necessary to be able to mobilize all your forces 100 % in such moments. Doing sports or solving intellectual problems on time develops this ability. No matter how bad it sounds, in extreme moments it is necessary to be able to do it, but only in such moments. At the same time, you should have even more faith and trust in God, so that God will help you make the right decision, the right action.
If you think about it, no one alive is 100 % protected. Not even the heads of state, or even just the rich and influential people. There is always the probability of danger to any person at any time. It doesn't take a great mind to realize that a negative, dangerous incident is always likely to happen to absolutely anyone. So how do you protect yourself and your loved ones? I come back to faith. Only with unwavering faith and purity in one's actions, not contradicting the laws of the Holy Scriptures, with prayers to the Original Source, can any person find His protection from all negative, bad things. It is necessary to believe in it, obviously, unwaveringly. There is no other way. But do not forget the famous saying: "God helps those who help themselves." Only the observance of the laws and commandments of the Bible and the Qur'an will keep you from the dangers of living. As you can see, all paths and considerations logically lead to one thing — trust in the Primary Source.
Now let's talk a little bit about the factor that will help develop faith. It is not easy at all to believe clearly. You have to work hard at it, and the best help is the Scriptures. Why do you go to school, spend a dozen years in school, then 5 years in university, and maybe even more, go to various courses to improve your skills? Yes, all to have a good job that allows you to live a good life at a certain level. What could be more important than striving for a perfect life, an eternal life? I guess nothing. So why do so many people think you don't have to do anything for this? Well, since it is the most important thing, it requires the most doing, and the most effort. But even in this most difficult case, the Lord helped man: He structured and gave us a plan for what is necessary to do. This plan is the Holy Books of the Bible and the Holy Qur'an.
How much time does each of us waste daily, distracted by useless information or just plain idleness? It may seem to many that they simply don't have the opportunity to engage in anything that could be beneficial. Nothing will benefit you more than studying the Holy Books. Even 20 minutes a day is nothing compared to the time you waste.
When you read these great Books, your soul is immediately filled, the feeling of wasted time disappears, and you are occupying it at that moment with the most valuable information in the world. Here is the main factor for a quiet, righteous, successful life. This is where everything begins and everything depends on it.
Happiness
Let us continue with a topic touched on earlier in the book.
Happiness is the permanent state of man, which comes through tranquility, harmony, and joy, which in turn comes through feeling close to the Guarantor of all, the Creator, God.
When a person is calm because he has fulfilled his duties to his Creator, when he feels the Lord's contentment and closeness to Him, and when he can justifiably hope to be protected from the punishment of Hell and to receive an invitation to the gardens of Paradise, that is the kind of person who will certainly be happy. A slave of money, a slave of women, a slave of alcohol, a slave of drugs, a slave of power, a slave of lust, a slave of his desires and illusions cannot be happy. There's no way he can be happy. If you are prudent and want to find true, unfading, radiant happiness, be sure that there is no other way to happiness than the one your Creator has pointed out. All other paths are wrong. We are unhappy only because we disobey our Creator and seek happiness outside of Him when happiness is within Him. Your salvation, your happiness, your contentment, your peace of mind, your joy — all of these are with your Creator. No one can give you what the Lord can give you. He has all the keys to the treasures, and only those who believe, trust, and worship Him alone will receive them. The person who trusts in the Lord in all his affairs is self-sufficient, complete, fulfilled, happy, strong, steadfast, healthy, and prudent in every way. And such people are at an advantage because the Creator and His Guidance are with them.
Black and white
Everything that was predicted in the Scriptures many hundreds of years ago is actually happening now. We live in difficult times. Today chaos and demonic forces are running rampant throughout the world. There is no other way to describe what we see around us every day, what the news tells us. There are conflicts, wars, deaths, tragedies, bankruptcies, crimes, prisons. So many horrors and catastrophes happen every day. Some will say that everything is going around in circles or that it has always been this way. But I am living now, not then. There are many lies in history and we will never know the real truth. There have always been wars, conflicts, and criminals, but in terms of the destructive effect on humanity, in terms of the terrible cruelty with which all this is being done in our time, no time can compare to the present. Because in our time, people's ability to do bad things has increased. It is possible to commit a crime from a distance, using computer technology, modern machinery, psychological techniques, modern scientific data, and even rockets. People are crazy about money, power, or vanity and will do anything for it. They believe only in money as if they would never die. Many tragedies and crimes can only be explained by evil. The truly good people are in the minority. This should motivate everyone to believe because the Holy Books say that when these things begin to take place, the end of the world is near, and everyone will be judged for the life he or she has lived. All that remains for believers, regardless of the circumstances around them, is to remain committed to their faith to the end and every day. It is necessary to be patient. It's one of the most important characteristics required by the Scriptures.
The sooner a person realizes what is happening now, the sooner he sees where the truth is, the better his chances of not falling into such devilry, and the better his chances of salvation.
There will probably be many dissenting or confused people who have read this book. This is normal. All of us are constantly in different states of mind, different moods, different emotions, and different circumstances throughout our lives. I will speak for myself. Everything I write here came to me in moments when I was as calm as possible when I thought about nothing but the meaning of life, about death, about what will happen next. When I was in a state of complete abstraction from my day-to-day problems and the hustle and bustle of life. The same thoughts came to me in moments of deepest stress, when I was ill or severely traumatized, in difficult circumstances, after a serious illness, in times of loss and despair. Helplessness, humility, and the realization that you cannot influence the situation make you look at the world with different eyes: impartial, humble, not proud. The need to prove anything to anyone disappears. There comes the realization of the need to apologize for everything, to forgive everyone, and the desire to just live, not to prove anything. I do not think that I am something special, on the contrary, I believe, I am even sure that healthy human nature is like this for everyone. The state of the soul, mind, and body at such moments is as close as possible to the true, right state. It leads us to the right path. There comes humility, purification through suffering, or through abstraction and consciousness. And much more often a person comes to such a state through suffering, not through consciousness.
Have you ever asked yourself why? We are created in such a way that we can see the truth and the fallacy of our sinful lives in a very powerful way at a certain moment. This is the only way a person can learn and clearly realize the truth. To see the truth of our being, the essence of our Creator.
If you do not realize it on your own, it will come in severe trials. There are such trials in the life of absolutely every person who has not independently come to an understanding of God, His laws, and truth. In the end, death awaits us all — is it not a trial, the last one in life, the last test and event in this life? Why put ourselves through these trials when the truth can be felt, understood, and realized in calm circumstances? The Holy Books prescribe eternal torment in addition to suffering in this life for those who have not believed and realized even during such hardships of fate.
If a person is tempted by grief, he is more likely to turn to God; if he is successful in life and has an easy life, then he is less likely.
This book will be more easily understood by those who have had trials in their lives or are in that time. By those who, at least for a minute, have a clear understanding of the hour of our death in this world, the insignificance and finiteness, the mortality of everything that exists in it, what is the rightness, the truth. For it is said in the sacred texts that without the store of deeds that God has commanded us, all is vanity.
One must be faithful to God's covenant and not violate it (the laws of the Bible and the Qur'an). It is necessary to realize death in this life as clearly as possible and to treat everything very seriously, with fear: from one's deeds, intentions, and actions to the clear realization that there will be a resurrection and that one will be held accountable for everything one does. There is no way to avoid this judgment, just as there is no way to avoid death in this world. It is necessary to understand this, and this understanding comes to a person only when a person experiences some misfortune or a very important responsible event. Emotions, when you realize the hopelessness of the situation, also give that understanding.
But it is necessary to have this understanding even without such important events and misfortunes, it is necessary to realize every day the reality that death is inevitable, that the answer is inevitable, that the Lord God exists, and He is so great that we are infinitely far from realizing His true greatness. We need to take this as seriously as possible.
So many people have left this world in my lifetime: friends, relatives, close acquaintances. Sometimes you remember the bright moments of your life with them: how much emotion there was, how much energy, life, happiness, positivity. It seemed to be forever, endlessly, how good it was, how much goodwill and joy was with them. And now — they are gone. This reality leads us to pay attention to the infinite, to the eternal, to the spiritual.
People live as if they were immortal, with pride, with the desire to humiliate someone, to exalt themselves, to prove, directly or indirectly, their superiority, their importance. Stop for a moment and realize your insignificance in the whole ocean of creation. You were not here, and you will soon disappear, so what importance do you want to prove? Show patience in all things and humility in the face of reality. Our body is a test, it causes us to sin, to be proud, and to satisfy dirty desires. That is why it is written to hate your flesh and to curb temptation. Isn't it enough for you that man is the image of the living God? Why do you need to assert yourself and emphasize your importance?
Billions try to justify what they like, to give it meaning and eternity. Many seek meaning based on their opinions and pride, but we should simply submit to the Word, which is the most authoritative and accessible to everyone.
Billions of people have visited this life and left, quietly closing the door behind them. They lived, they felt, and they loved, just like we do. Every single one of them disappeared. If every person on this planet understood this and clearly comprehended it, would we have time for nonsense, unloved work, people alien in spirit, hatred, envy, longing, disbelief, boredom, weakness, cynicism, contempt, or revenge? Would we waste precious months of our lives fulfilling the dreams of others? Would we be tormented by the fear of what the crowd will think of us?
Why conflict, struggle, and accuse each other of wrongness or unrighteousness? This is what the Qur'an and the Bible forbid.
On the edge
Sometimes it can be very hard, incredibly hard. I have been in those situations myself. You have to remember that many people have much more difficult circumstances in life. Everything is known in comparison. I have experienced extremes in my life where I wanted to end everything. There were intentions to end my life. Thank God I pulled through.
Time has passed since that difficult period in my life, and my life has changed dramatically. If I had shown patience in a difficult moment, time would have led me to a beautiful present without suffering and torment. I have had a family, my beloved daughter Diana was born. Other priorities emerged and positive emotions that are like nothing else.
And not so long ago it seemed to me that everything had collapsed, everything was lost and there was a moment of despair when I thought about how to cut short this great gift called life. I am ashamed of my stupidity and weakness. And I thank God for all that I have, for the fact that He did not give up on me and did not let me commit this, one of the most serious sins, I ask God's forgiveness for my weaknesses and sins.
If you live with faith, God will not let you fall in life. If you ask for something and it does not come, do not be upset; on the contrary, you should realize that man does not know what is good and what is bad for him. If something does not come, but you ask for it and want it very much, it means that you have another reward. Just keep on living and believing, and everything will be fine.
Once I was asleep and I saw a dream with a snake near my house trying to hide in a large puddle of water. I tried to catch it with a pitchfork for a long time and with great effort, and in the end, I caught it.
After that dream, my life began to turn black. My family began to collapse, my wife left with my child for no reason. It was as if she was possessed by an evil spirit. Otherwise, I can't explain what she did. And all of this happened at a time when I was in high-risk loans and working around the clock. I was doing 100 percent of what I could do for a better life. At that moment, everything was cut off from me again for I was trying to live according to righteous statutes. I did not expect this, especially since I had not committed any serious sins. I turned the switch in my head for a while, and with a great burden on my soul, I threw myself into all kinds of sins. That's my weakness, I gave up in times of trouble, which is something you should never do. It seemed to me that I was no longer worthy of faith and the Lord's attention. As time passed, things began to get better, but sin cannot be erased-it is there.
I can tell you one thing from my experience. Never despair of the Lord's mercy. Always expect the best from Him. Sincerely recognize your mistake, repent from your heart, and start with a clean slate. When you have drifted away from God, when it seems that there is no way back — stop, remember death, remember, and realize the moment of the end in this world: yours and all the people dear to you. This will make you turn to the right path, for which it is never too late, even if you are a great sinner. Better late than never. It is never too late, even in the hour of death, for sincere repentance to God and recognition of your sins to save your soul.
This is where my weakness, my human imperfection, was revealed. If we all feared the Creator like death, like an incurable disease, there would be no trouble and no misfortune on earth, for "Everything is in the hands of Allah." This is the name of the Lord God, according to the Holy Qur'an. And yet God is infinitely more terrible in His wrath. According to the Holy Scriptures, if there is no doubt in our faith, we will have trials absolutely according to our strength or none at all. And if a person is not faithful enough to God, he will certainly be tested beyond his ability. But the one who really wants to reform himself after such a test, having concluded that his faith and righteousness are insufficient, will start a new path, more righteous, more pure. One should never give up the way of being faithful to God. In trouble as well as in joy, one should give thanks to the Lord. This is what worthy people do, even when it seems that all is lost and you are a complete sinner.
There is a theory that the Earth is a prison for souls. After all, life on earth is difficult for people. From this point of view, if life after the grave is better, one should try even harder to reform oneself in this prison by fulfilling the commandments of the Scriptures. If it is even worse there than it is here, one might think that it is too cruel for such a weak creature as man, and then the Creator is cruelty itself. But if that were true, there would be nothing good in this world. But how much good and joy there is in this world, how much happiness and positivity, suggests otherwise. On the contrary, the Creator is goodness and love. And if it is hard out there, it is only for those who deserve it.
Sometimes reality hits you in the head with a deceptive realization of the true gravity of the present moment. When life is very hard, when misfortune strikes in such extreme moments, the brain takes everything literally. A person begins to think, "Here it is, reality, everything has already happened, what to do, who will help, nothing is getting better, it is getting worse, there is no light for improvement, there is no strength, you are about to give up. There's no way to fix it. It's a dead end, there's no way out.
These are the most responsible moments, the most difficult, and at the same time the most favorable, in which you should not give up your spirit. Do not disappoint God with all your strength, show how devoted you are to Him and how much you believe in Him without seeing Him. Keep the commandments during these times and do not doubt your expectations or your faith. The reward will come soon. Everything will be recompensed a hundredfold to the righteous. It is difficult, but have confidence in the result as in your reflection in the mirror. It is not for nothing that there is a saying on earth: "When difficulties increase and multiply, then victory is near." The Holy Books say that patience is one of the most important qualities of a righteous person. The Qur'an says: "Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship]. And to your Lord direct [your] longing."
It is also important to realize that no matter how hard this life is, eternal happiness in Paradise is infinite and worth a thousand hard lives, but the Lord tests us with one.
Both good and trial, calamity, and prosperity come from the mouth of the Almighty, but a man must only lament the sins he has committed and not reason about what he thinks he has gained by good deeds. That's the biblical meaning.
Man is given the freedom to choose good or evil in his way of life, but it is written that all foreknowledge comes from the mouth of the Lord. You are not to guess what foreknowledge is intended for you — you are given only one thing for your good — to strive for good and to fulfill the covenant laws of the Scriptures.
Life
I do not mean to sound pessimistic — it is not. There's a lot of talk about death. I am sorry, but that is the truth, and death is inevitable. Death should be seen as a ticket to meet the Lord, and it should only make us happy, because there is no greater happiness, and we cannot even realize it. And this is not about pessimism, quite the opposite. Where the book began was exactly how to accept this truth, our end in this world, more simply and more easily. Through logical reasoning, it all led to the fact that death is not as frightening as people imagine it to be and inflate it with their emotions, it sometimes needs to be remembered to go the right way. Much more important is what you will receive for your deeds after death, whether the scales will be heavy with your good deeds. Death is only a transition to the real eternal life, and the whole earthly life is an examination for which each of us will receive a grade. The earthly life is the enjoyment of seduction. The Holy Qur'an says, "Surely We have made all that is on the earth an embellishment for it to test people as to who of them is better in conduct." So for man not to be deceived, he must thank God every day sincerely for everything that surrounds him and not go against His will. Life is the greatest gift, there is nothing more precious than life; life, and love.
It is necessary to enjoy every moment of life, to rejoice in the air we breathe, in the ability to see everything around us, to touch, to feel good emotions, to think, to rejoice in everything we can and have. It is necessary to live each day to the fullest and to accept that we are chosen because we are given to live and to feel. All this could not have happened, but the Creator chose us, and that says a lot. It is also said that man is made in the image of God. And what is the Universe before man, if man is the image of the Original Source? There is no need to fear anything, but to rejoice that God has chosen us to be His image. And we are obligated to become an acceptable image, to live according to the laws of our Creator, and to glorify Him for all that we have been given. There is only one thing to be afraid of — going the wrong way. The main thing is to believe explicitly, with absolute conviction, without any doubt.
If we pay attention to simple things every day: how pleasant it is to breathe fresh air, how happy the blue, clear sky, bright sun, sea, lakes, forests, and mountains are to the eye, how happy to hear and see loved ones in good health and good mood — this series can be continued endlessly; then everyone will soon realize what a great gift it is to live! And everything around you will become much more valuable every day, infinitely more valuable, and will give a person more and more happiness and joy every day. That's when a person is truly living a full life and making the most of it.
Energy
Movement sharpens the joy of life.
You can feel the joy of life very vividly by doing sports. When I was seriously involved in sports, when I had a specific goal to achieve a great result in sports, I experienced incredible life and joy even while waiting for a training session. I can't describe it any other way. Simply great happiness. I don't know how to describe this feeling in detail, science describes it as a fusion of the basic hormones of happiness, I can say this: a clear strong desire to achieve and present a sporting result, which is movement, freedom of movement, lightness, youth and simply life. For me, sport is Life with a capital L. For many years I have dedicated myself to sports, to high-performance sports. Sport is always with me, it is part of my life. Why am I writing this? I realized that sport is one of the best ways to describe the joy of life. I have experienced true happiness in training, in competitions, and even in dreaming of achieving a sporting result, which is true freedom. Sport is the highest manifestation of the satisfaction of movement. And movement is life, no matter how banal it may sound. Such feelings are most vividly experienced at a young age when the body is completely healthy. If you have the opportunity to do sports or just any physical exercise, do not put it off for later, live today. Go for a run, jump around, or play some kind of sports game. You will immediately feel a great deal of joy. All of this will make you more aware of the gifts of life around you, and you will love and appreciate life even more. You will simply feel more and more every day the desire to live, to simply exist on this planet for the sake of movement. And you will be right. Life, movement, freedom, lightness — this is a great gift for each of us. So do not kill yourself with anything, live, be happy, move with joy, and do sports. This will bring you closer to the Original Source and strengthen your faith. Live today and every second, remembering that all this can end at any moment. Live with joy.
Right knowledge
The world really is a beautiful place. For a bright and happy life, education is equally important, proper education improves your mind. It is very essential for human development. It is wonderful that we have science, literature, art, and technology. Intelligent people have tried to understand how our world works. How to achieve happiness. They just tried to understand how to live right. But here's the strange thing. In all this time, no philosopher, no science, no one has been able to derive the ideal rules for a happy life. And that's very strange. For several thousand years people have been racking their brains and still, there are no rules. People don't have the answers. That's why they have a demand for coaches and mentors who capitalize on the questions of how to achieve success, how to achieve happiness, and how to achieve peace of mind. History is full of attempts to create an ideal, just state, where the minority would not exploit the majority, and everyone would be for each other's benefit. But it all turned out to be in vain. Today, society is divided. Some believe that happiness lies in pleasure and lack of restrictions, others in detachment from the world, the third in money and recognition, and the fourth says that happiness lies in the influence of power. Many have also taken the position that "it's neither my headache nor my piece of cake," and they don't want anything. The fact that we have not been able to come to a common opinion just shows that we are not able to create such a set of rules. First, our brains are very limited, and second, we're all different. Third, our thoughts are formed differently depending on our character, level of knowledge, upbringing, social environment, individual characteristics, diseases, mood, life experience, and environment. Our thoughts are influenced by absolutely everything. We cannot find the way to a happy life on our own, because we do not know where it will lead. We cannot take into account all the peculiarities of every person on earth to create a common set of rules for everyone. We cannot see the future. Only the One who can see all the possible outcomes, the One who knows everyone in detail, the One who created everyone, can do that. It's logical — it's the Original Source, the Creator. And He gave people the Scriptures that contain these rules, rules for a correct and happy life.
Once I was talking to a great lover of reading, who had read a lot of books. There was hardly a famous writer whose works he did not know. I asked him the question, "What have you learned from literature?" He hesitated, there was a pause, then a short answer: "Nothing, exactly nothing". We began to discuss and concluded that every writer tries to understand life. That is, each writer offers a different vision of the truth. Each writer sees in his way the concepts of good, evil, morality, and the laws by which everyone should live. Each offers his or her vision of the meaning of life, each tries to understand life for himself or herself. All of them do not have unambiguous, clear-cut answers. They have different versions, which contradict the version of another, no less outstanding writer. But what is the greatness of all these outstanding people? The fact that they have never understood anything? In any case, one of them is wrong, because there are no two truths. So in a conversation with my friend, he told me that he had spent half his life, an enormous amount of strength and energy, studying all those tons of books. Now, looking back, he said that he does not understand where he got so much desire and energy to study and delve into all this for eight, ten hours a day.
What was the point of our conversation? He said that he did not regret the time he had spent. On the contrary, he had come to ideal, exhaustive conclusions that freed him once and for all from false ideals and the captivity of human thought. We finally agreed that neither philosophy, nor literature, nor wise men, scientists, or anyone else has the answers to the elementary but most important questions. None of them knows what the soul is, who we are, where we come from, where we are going, how we should live, what our happiness is, what is good, what is bad, what is death, what is after death, they know nothing at all. So what is their greatness? If their greatness is that they have spent their whole lives searching for answers and have not found them, then I would agree. Or maybe they are considered great because those around them think they are great? That's more likely. But none of these greats know absolutely nothing about the nature and essence of the soul, the laws of the Universe, none of them, least of all Robert Kiyosaki. Besides, none of them even came close to figuring it out. The problem is not that all writers are so stupid and some are smart, no. The problem is that even if they were a thousand times smarter and tried for millions of years, they would still not be able to comprehend with their minds what is beyond the mind, beyond the human mind, beyond the material world, beyond our universe. All that people and writers can have are opinions, but no reliable knowledge about the soul, death, and the meaning of life. It turns out that we spend a lot of time with the opinions of people, ordinary people, and mortals like any of us.
So why do we read so much and study so much? School, then university more. Tons of information, thousands of books. Great names and the desire to study their works. However, there is very little useful knowledge in these works. And why do you need knowledge if it will never be useful to you in your life, or if it will be useful, but it will not benefit you or society? If we understand which science and which knowledge has the greatest and most useful impact on our lives and the world around us, then we will understand which knowledge is most useful and paramount to study. So the greatest influence on us and the world around us is only the Source, the Creator of everything. So what kind of knowledge are you seeking, who or what do you want to know about? There is no knowledge more useful and important than the knowledge of our Creator. His Word — the Scriptures — is the most precious thing that mankind has. I am not saying that other knowledge is not needed, only that it must be secondary, but also applicable to life, otherwise what is it for?
Every education begins with the ability to read and write. These are the basic skills of a modern person. Reading is a basic, fundamental tool for self-education, on par with communication. It must be used to acquire a sharp mind capable of always seeing the truth, of discerning what is right and what is wrong.
Since my childhood, I was not very fond of reading. I read all the books and works in school in a shortened version. Maybe it was because I did not like reading. It takes a lot of time. And I was a very active child, very fond of movement and sports. And all my free time I wanted to play soccer until late at night, ride my bike, climb trees, and play with my dog (we had a dog of the breed "boxer" — it was a friend of my childhood and I loved him very much) and just communicate, play with peers. I just really wanted to move, to live. My childhood was just like that, it was very active. But that just means that I loved life very much. It didn't stop me from getting good grades and enjoying both sports and studying, it was a great time, a time of dreaming and the joy of movement. We were given the task of reading as many books as possible every summer vacation. Of course, I made it my goal to read as many as I could. But when I started reading, it usually took me an hour, two hours, or even a whole day, and I just felt sorry for the lost time. After all, it was beautiful weather outside, summer, and I wanted to exercise, adrenaline, and positivity. A few days later I found an abridged version of the book and read the abridged version. I can only think of a few books that I have read from beginning to end. They were few, to my shame, everything else I read in the abridged version just to get a sense of the story. I have a technical mind and have always been good at math. I read a lot of fiction, but almost all of it in abridged form. For example, one of the few books I read in its original form in one sitting was Hemingway's
Due to my busy and active lifestyle, I hardly had any free time. One day, when I came home, I decided to sort out old and unnecessary books, and among all the books I found a Bible that had once been given to me as a birthday present. That's when I started reading it. It fascinated me so much with life wisdom and revelation that I wanted to go on and learn it all. Often, after work, my eyes were very tired, and due to fatigue, the pace of reading was different, which made it difficult to understand the essence of what was written and to concentrate, and I wanted to read in a rhythm. I decided to listen to the audio version of the Bible. It was a great solution. I could go on a long trip and listen to the Bible, come home, and listen before bed or first thing in the morning. It's important to have the same audiobook reader, so you get used to the pace and the voice, and everything is heard in the same breath. You're completely immersed in the holy text and it's like touching something invisible, something true. With each line my faith grew stronger, it's impossible to describe how clear and powerful that feeling was. Everyone should do it — read or listen from beginning to end, in silence, alone with oneself, with God, and with faith. The Holy Books (Bible and Qur'an) touch absolutely everything in the world, they are incredibly comprehensive and organized, with much obviously not written by man.
Therefore, there is no more perfect information for a man than the Holy Scriptures. After the Bible, I decided to read the Holy Qur'an. I did not see any difference in essence from the Bible, which is what I expected, because God is One and so is His Word. We will talk about this later. In every sentence of the Bible and the Qur'an, there are such deep meanings and fundamental principles that one wonders how it was possible to present the whole essence and meaning so succinctly, concisely, eloquently, and clearly. This is because the holy text contains obvious truth and vast knowledge, and they create a strong conviction in people, without which a person will not be able to follow the straight path. And that is why these Books are called faithful guides because they point the way to everything that can benefit people. This means that the Scriptures are the right guide for mankind in all matters great and small. They are the most useful and correct knowledge. After some time, I regularly listened to the Holy Bible and the Holy Qur'an and read them from time to time. I can definitely say that reading is more informative than listening. But it is better to combine the two.
The subconscious mind is true
Absolutely everything in our imagination, and even much, infinitely more, will manifest in this world: either something was already there, or is there, or will be there. Humans have invented the age of the Universe and have invented scientific justifications for the creation of everything, which are based on assumptions under which they have placed fictitious scientific concepts, formulas, and laws. In fact, there is no one hundred percent evidence to support a scientific justification for the origin of the Universe. Not only that, but even science only goes so far as to say that it exploded. It also emphasizes that this is not certain. But where did the point come from, there is no answer, what was before the point and around the point? Perhaps our brains are not even capable of realizing such concepts and measurements. After all, time and space are also scientific definitions that emerged from the moment of "explosion" after the expansion of the Universe. The question, "Where did it come from?" can be asked endlessly about every subsequent answer to the chronological origin of everything. This means that we will never get an answer. There is enough reason for that.
The probability of the origin of everything in the imagination and far beyond is infinitely high, based on the thoughts described above. What are we talking about when even the oceans of our planet are only 3.5 % explored? There is no obvious proven data point of reference for anything.
For man, both time and space are infinite, because he is finite, or to be more precise, much faster finite. But in fact, it is easy to prove the opposite, that time is an illusion, and space is created, so it is also finite. Earlier in the book I pondered this. What is beyond space and time? It is even impossible for our brain to perceive such dimensions, but they are there, and beyond such dimensions, there can be an infinite number of other, more complex dimensions. Therefore, the probability of everything is infinitely high.
As for us, human beings, considering the insignificance of man and everything that happens in his instantaneous life from birth to death, compared to everything that exists in the Universe and beyond, the probability of our resurrection and transition to the next life is infinitely great. For people who have accepted the truth (that everything is created by the Creator), there is no doubt about it. Our resurrection is inevitable. This means that man is not finite. We must face the truth boldly: do not turn away from the truth and do not be afraid of the most seemingly unrealistic expectations. This is essentially faith. Any mathematician will tell you that if the probability is infinite, then it is true, so our resurrection is real. In this case, the transition to the next life is instantaneous: if the soul does not go immediately to another world, then after we die, no matter how much time passes, we will not feel time, and for us, the resurrection is immediately after death, in any case. In addition to the logical possibility of resurrection, both the Bible and the Qur'an tell us about it.
I once thought to myself, "It's just like you think. I first had this thought when I was a child. I remember the moment very well. I did not realize what I was thinking, but I felt very strongly and vividly a kind of rush of power and emotion similar to great happiness. For some reason, I was sure at that moment that I had been given something very important to know.
Now I understand why I had such an emotional state, and what knowledge my subconscious mind was telling me at that time. Everyone can understand and realize the essence of everything. The only problem is that people do not believe. To them, everything seems inaccessible and distant.
Eliminate the emotions and thoughts that a person's greatness is measured in money or power, because it is not true. Each of us is a great being. When the feeling of deficiency disappears, you begin to live honestly about yourself. And whatever you think about, you can clearly visualize and understand how it is possible, how it works, and realize the essence. It is important not to be afraid of innate thoughts — everything is exactly as the subconscious says if, of course, your mind is healthy. Following this principle, you will surely come to the most important thing — the knowledge of God. This knowledge encompasses absolutely everything.
The inner conviction in God gives rise to an unshakable certainty that everything is bound to be all right in one way or another.
I am absolutely sure that it is given to every human being to realize the truth, and every individual correctly perceives and realizes reality from birth. It is just that the majority are led by the wrong people and their teachings, even the government systems that already exist on Earth. Man has to calm down and ask himself the question: "Why am I following some temporary trends of humanity or the crowd, why am I afraid to believe in what is actually obvious? Many times I have observed in 5-10-15 years that what is happening now is exactly what I had previously envisioned. We are afraid to go against the false human game. Afraid of what we don't have. We have to look at the bottom line, never doubt, and be a righteous person, everything else is secondary. In reality, there are no trends or directions of human teachings that are true, there is one essence, one truth. And you either follow it or you don't. The strong one is the one who is unshakable and unaffected by false information.
Nothing stimulates the power of the spirit like the reality of circumstances that you have not doubted for many years. It simply takes patience and humility. It does not all come at once.
But for a person of strong conviction, waiting is not a chore, but a time of joy, because he knows for sure that it will be so soon, and no other way.
Just be honest with yourself and don't be afraid to follow that truth within you. This will keep you out of many bad situations in life because you will be following the right way. You don't have to get into stressful and dangerous circumstances that force you to clear your mind. It is better to come to this before because in the end there is a truth that awaits you.
How important it is to boldly walk the path of life that your subconscious, your soul if you will, tells you is right.

The stumbling blocks and grains of consolidation
In this chapter we will reflect on religious disagreements, we will try to understand why there are many religions and how it can be if there is only one Creator.
There are a lot of religious directions and just beliefs in something higher, supernatural in the world and the whole history of its existence. Each faith has its own philosophy and its revered man-made texts. But everyone understands only one thing, there cannot be a thousand beliefs with different truths, because there can be only one truth. How can we find it and decide for ourselves in which texts we can see it? The answer can only be found in those texts that were not created by man, but by the Higher Mind that created us. These are the Holy Scriptures — monotheistic, divinely inspired Books containing a revelation of the Creator Himself, the Lord God, to mankind. Let me say right away that I will argue my thoughts with specific words from the Bible and the Qur'an. It may be a difficult subject for some, and all the meanings can be found in the Holy Books. However, it is necessary to argue with words from the primary source in order to understand the issue.
All religions that came from the Prophet Abraham, or that came later from these religions, have a foundation that is solid, eternal, and unshakable. All these religions are based on the Bible and the Qur'an. These Holy Books were sent down from on high to the prophets, who transmitted the holy texts to the people. All of these prophets were descendants of Abraham, the chosen prophet with whom God made a covenant that if his people would obey God's laws, God would bless them forever. That is why all these monotheistic religions, led by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are called Abrahamic religions.
For example, the oldest monotheistic religion, Judaism, is based on the Tanakh (part of the modern Bible). Christianity and all its denominations do not abolish the Tanakh and the Old Testament as a whole but include and emphasize the Gospel that came later. Islam also accepts both the Torah of Moses (also part of the modern Bible) and the Gospel but includes the Qur'an, which came even later and is the foundation of Islam. The reason for this in the Gospel is that the New Testament does not abolish the truth of the Old Testament, but comes to replace it for new generations of humanity. That is, the new means clarifying, but not abolishing.
Abraham was a prophet, and the Pentateuch, which is the Torah (the first 5 books of the Bible), says that he preached one God and His laws and statutes, which are eternal for posterity, that is, for all Abrahamic religions. The Lord promised Abraham that his descendants would be priests and kings, an eternal line blessed by God Himself. The only requirement is to keep the commandments, laws, and ordinances of the Lord, which is what believers in God have in common.
Just as in ancient times two sons of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael, were divided, so today the Abrahamic religions are divided, but their root is the same, and the Law is the same for them.
The main figures of Christianity, Islam, and the entire religious world are Jesus Christ and the Prophet Mohammad. They are also Abraham's descendants. Jesus Christ is from the lineage of the Prophet Abraham on His mother Mary's side, and Mohammad (the last and main Prophet of Islam) is from the lineage of the Prophet Abraham on His father's side.
The first miracle of the life of Jesus was His birth, which was created by the Holy Spirit.
Why do some followers of one religion categorically deny the faith of people of another religion? We are only talking about the monotheistic religions that originated with the prophet Abraham.
It is not logical, because there are many truly righteous people among the followers of any religion. Faith is the foundation of a person who is pleasing to God, his core. If you pray incessantly and there is no faith, it will be useless. It is like a farce in the modern world: you do not have a penny to your name, but you have the latest model cell phone in your hands or a new car bought on credit. Such people are just pretending, but they are not real. I would not divide Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and all monotheistic Abrahamic religions in general, but unite them all into one — the worship of God, simply people who believe in the One God and have the intention to be His pleasers. All these people are already united by the Holy Bible and the Holy Qur'an.
Why limit and cut off anyone from belonging to the faith by putting some kind of stigma on them? A person of any nationality and any religion to which he has been introduced by the society in which he lives can be a true believer.
No one can take away anyone's right to strive for a perfect next life. Everyone has a chance to enter the real life where the Lord God Himself rules. In our reality, everyone wants to stand out, to win, to prove their worth, but in God's world, everyone is one. That's what it says. And there is no such thing as one succeeding and the others lagging behind, there, if one succeeds, everyone succeeds, and there is no need to succeed, everyone who is there has already succeeded.
Also, I do not understand how one can not recognize the Bible, but only the Qur'an, and vice versa, because both are from God. There are many arguments for this in the book. There is no need to claim that this or that has changed over time, we will never know for sure.
It is logical to accept all believers: Muslims, Christians, Jews, and in general all monotheists who believe in one Lord God. By no means do I consider anyone unworthy to be called a believer, only the Lord determines that. There is no point in measuring who prays or believes better, and it is a sin to do so. God will judge everyone, not men.
For some reason, people have seized on the minimal differences in various religions, as it seemed to them, and blown them up into irreconcilable opposites. It is not necessary to look for differences and points of conflict but to focus on what is common. The emphasis must be on what is fully accepted in all monotheistic religions based on the Holy Scriptures.
There are many religions, but there is a paradoxical commonality of basic rules of morality and human life in all existing monotheistic faiths.
All the stumbling blocks between different religions come from different interpretations of the sacred texts and from not emphasizing the most important things.
I just want to argue logically. Let us assume the truth of the Holy Qur'an. The Bible was written long before the Holy Qur'an, much earlier. And if we do not accept the concept of the Bible about the existence of the Lord God: the Father-God, the Son, in whom is the Spirit of God, and the Holy Spirit, who is also the Lord, then it means that the whole Bible was written by fraudsters, because the testimony of various prophets about the Son of God, Jesus, is written in various books of the Old Testament long before the Gospel. Then everything in the Bible is untrue. However, when we compare the Qur'an and the Bible, it becomes clear that much is essentially the same. Moreover, many passages in the text are absolutely identical in meaning, as are many, if not most, names and historical events. So how could the "impostors" have written the divine text in the Bible long before the Holy Qur'an was written? It becomes clear that both books should not be questioned. The laws and rules of the Holy Qur'an are fully accepted and not denied by the books that make up the Bible. I will try to argue this in more detail below.
Everything I say about the common ground between Christianity, Islam, and Judaism certainly applies to the denominations of the major religions. For example, the Christians: Orthodoxy, Catholicism, and Protestantism.
The eternal dispute between religions and their denominations is who is the most correct.
And the most correct is the one who lives closest to the laws of the Holy Scriptures (the Bible and the Qur'an).
After all, there are stories in the Holy Books of people who had no idea what religion and faith were, who simply lived by the commandments without knowing and were counted among the righteous.
Because of the stumbling blocks discussed in this chapter, religions fall into disagreement. Is it not written in both the Qur'an and the Bible that because of such disagreements, pagans, criminals, great sinners, and whole nations were destroyed as punishment?
What we fall into disagreement is a temptation for us. Why do people keep comparing themselves to demonstrate who is more true, more righteous, and so on? Competing to see who is the proudest and most arrogant! That's just the way it is.
We can only speculate. Our disagreements are based only on suppositions. Anything other than the pure truth (one Lord God) can be disputed, either justified or somehow proven not to be as it is written.
One can speculate that both the Qur'an and the Bible were not accurately translated into other languages. So many hundreds of years have passed. So many people have rewritten and retold these books. The translation can be misinterpreted and the meaning can be distorted. A mistranslation of just the words "son," "slave," or "love," which can have several meanings in one language, changes the understanding of the true meaning. Lots of different cultures and nations. You can speculate endlessly, and you can prove and find differences based on nuances, and make a big deal out of it. It's utopian.
