Parting words to the Leader

ADDRESS TO THE LEADER

The well-being of nations revolves around one individual. There are many examples of this throughout history, in the most various areas. Many will attribute this undoubted phenomenon to the individual as such. This is what the short-sighted do, but the more far-sighted understand that such collectors are nothing other than the power of the Hierarchy.

Indeed, in all phenomena, the Hierarchy chooses a focus to which the current can be directed. In addition, a person of this order has a conscious or unconscious fire that makes communication easy. But another quality is also necessary on the part of the people themselves - they need trust and a consciousness of strength. This quality is needed as a link in a fiery machine.

You see for yourself how the nations that have established themselves on the Driver are growing. You see for yourself that there is no other way. So you need to realize the link of the Hierarchy. There is no need to be shortsighted.

Parting words to the leader

1. The leader stands on a ridge that has no descent. A born Leader can find the boundary between opposites. Carpets of victory are woven from these secret borders. Every day, every hour, a yarn of secrets is spread out before the Leader. Here in front of him is condescension or connivance. Of course, the first gives birth to the second, but between them lies the Sword of Justice. After all, condescension comes from the Light, but connivance comes from darkness. On the ridge between them lies the Leader's Sword. The place where the Sword can lie is narrow. There is also a narrow line between courage and cruelty. Only the Leader’s heart knows where these edges are. The riddle of the boundaries of Justice does not appear in the great Councils; the same riddles exist in all life, therefore for the Leader there is neither small nor great. The Leader's attention is equally keen in all decisions. The appearance of the Leader does not ask for advice, but can accept advice. The leader does not know whether he is late, but he will not delay anyone. He has the advantage of appearing unexpectedly and can imagine how long each item will take. He is not upset by slander, but knows how to apply every word. He is incorruptible, for he does not collect earthly riches. He knows the meaning of sound and color, like a physician of human hearts. He knows how to rejoice in the Truth, but rejects illusion. So, the path of the Leader is the path of Truth.

2. Loss of spirit is not characteristic of a Leader, but the oppression of a poisoned atmosphere can affect a strong consciousness, therefore even the strongest must not be left without cosmic support. What can the Leader achieve if he is cut off from the saving connection? It is the Leader, who has accepted the burden of leadership, who must attach himself to the Ladder of the Higher World. It is he who, in the work of his heart, must constantly strengthen himself with the emanations of Grace. He must address the Hierarchy with frequent conversations and must note all the signs sent, which for the ignorant are only superstition. How many useful observations are destroyed by a lack of understanding that there is real superstition. People sometimes call simply open eyes superstition, but a Leader must be above superstition and prejudice. Let's imagine how life would change if all prejudices, prejudices and premeditated decisions were removed. It is earthly judges who have to endure very difficult karma.

Parting words to the Leader

The well-being of nations revolves around one individual. There are many examples of this throughout history, in various fields. Many will attribute this undoubted phenomenon to the individual as such. This is what the short-sighted do, but the more far-sighted understand that such collectors are nothing other than the power of the Hierarchy.

Indeed, in all phenomena, the Hierarchy chooses a focus to which the current can be directed. In addition, a person of this order has a conscious or unconscious fire that makes communication easy. But another quality is also necessary on the part of the people themselves - they need trust and a consciousness of strength. This quality is needed as a link in a fiery machine.

You see for yourself how the nations that have established themselves on the Driver are growing. You see for yourself that there is no other way. So you need to realize the link of the Hierarchy. There is no need to be shortsighted.

1. The leader stands on a ridge that has no descent. A born Leader can find the boundary between opposites. Carpets of victory are woven from these secret borders. Every day, every hour, a yarn of secrets is spread out before the Leader. Here in front of him is condescension or connivance. Of course, from the first the second is born, but between them lies the Sword of Justice. After all, condescension comes from the Light, but connivance comes from darkness. On the ridge between them lies the Leader's Sword. The place where the Sword can lie is narrow. There is also a narrow line between courage and cruelty. Only the Leader’s heart knows where these edges are. The riddle of the boundaries of Justice does not appear in the great Councils; the same riddles exist in all life, therefore for the Leader there is neither small nor great. The Leader's attention is equally keen in all decisions. The appearance of the Leader does not ask for advice, but can accept advice. The leader does not know whether he is late, but he will not delay anyone. He has the advantage of appearing unexpectedly and can imagine how long each item will take. He is not upset by slander, but knows how to apply every word. He is incorruptible, for he does not collect earthly riches. He knows the meaning of sound and color, like a physician of human hearts. He knows how to rejoice in the Truth, but rejects illusion. So, the path of the Leader is the path of Truth.

2. Loss of spirit is not characteristic of a Leader, but the oppression of a poisoned atmosphere can act on a strong consciousness, therefore even the strongest should not be left without cosmic support. What can the Leader achieve if he is cut off from the saving connection? It is the Leader, who has accepted the burden of leadership, who must attach himself to the Ladder of the Higher World. It is he who, in the work of his heart, must constantly strengthen himself with the emanations of Grace. He must contact the Hierarchies with frequent conversations and must note all the signs sent, which for the ignorant are only superstition. How many useful observations are destroyed by a lack of understanding that there is real superstition. People sometimes call simply open eyes superstition, but a Leader must be above superstition and prejudice. Let's imagine how life would change if all prejudices, prejudices and premeditated decisions were removed. It is earthly judges who have to endure very difficult karma.

3. There is no need to envy the leader, for he bears all the burden of life. You can remember how, when meeting one Winner old woman cried bitterly. When they asked - where are you from - with general joy? - she said: “I really feel sorry for Him.”

4. They may ask why I am talking about the Leader and not the ruler? The difference between them is huge. The ruler presupposes the present and, as it were, the management of something already existing, but the Leader reveals, in the very meaning of the word, the future. He has not received what has already been put together, but he leads, and his every action propels him forward. The ruler knows what has already been put together and completed, but the Leader does not have what was previously approved and must lead the people to the Mountain of Perfection. If the ruler’s burden is great, then the Leader’s responsibility is even greater, but on the other hand, the Highest Powers assert Their Throne where there are signs of leadership. The leader must distinguish between pretense and sincerity. The manifestation of the virtue of the heart is very different from forced servility, and the Leader has the power to distinguish this property.

Many have read how David questioned the Higher Powers. He resorted to this Source to avoid unnecessary mistakes. There are many such examples in history different nations. Everyone knows about them. You don't even need to dive in ancient times, and in latest events these signs of the Communication and Service of the Great are visible. But we also know that for the Great Communication we need pure heart. Nothing unclean will receive Communion, therefore the Symbol of the Leader must be a sign of purity of heart. Not only in action, but also in thoughts, the Leader brings good to the peoples, he knows that he is entrusted with bringing a full cup, he does not lose his way in wandering, he does not spill the entrusted cup - so the concept of the Leader is a sign of the Future.

5. Remember how much people need the concept of a Leader. They want to have a guarantor before the Highest, they understand how impossible it is to find a way without communication, but they know that the Leader is coming. Nothing can ever hinder the Leader unless he is restrained by earthly manifestations that decide his retreat; the pure aspiration of the Leader cannot be stopped beyond the deadline.

6. Each Leader, of course, will encounter many circumstances along the way that can burden his karma. This is inevitable, but only an ordinary, earthly solution will not resolve such pressure. Why should the Leader take on an extra burden if he is in Communication with the Higher Powers? When he fulfills the Command Higher Powers, he will not make his karma heavier, but for such a happy position he must strain his entire consciousness towards the Higher World. He must free himself from interfering habits and re-educate his will, placing it in an inextricable connection with the Leader. You need to get used to such Communication so that it enters life as a single basis. Also, the Leader should not know revenge as one of the most animal feelings. There is no time for the Leader to take revenge when he does not know infringement, for he is in constant movement. The Leader also knows that nowhere is peace commanded as the mortification of energy. The Leader also understands that doubt is not a search for truth. Everyone who looks into the distance rushes towards the Truth, but the one who doubts turns back, and that is his destruction.

7. An impenetrable shell can be made of metal or silk, but the best shell is fiery. Will the Leader walk the destined path without a fiery shell? How else can we ward off all the arrows of malice and swords of hatred? But many leaders, even with their earthly consciousness, sensed that they were protected by a fiery shell. Entire books could be written about the magnetism of the destined leader. One can notice that it is not appearance, not voice, not wealth, but something else that convinces peoples. I have spoken more than once about the Fire of the Heart. It is this magnetic shell that both attracts and protects. As it is said, “I will take all the arrows into my shield.” But this shield must be forged. This shield can only be revealed from Above, but how many thoughts and conversations must be preceded in order for Communication to be created and forge the fiery shell! It takes not a day or an hour to make Communication pure, alive and present everywhere. It is in vain to think that science moves away from of the Higher World, she can change earthly names, but the triune essence remains as the basis. Moreover, the Leader knows how to imagine where the essence is. He may not say the unpronounceable word, but he will feel it in his heart. That word will help the Leader not to lose understanding of the world; only it easily provides a wonderful shell.

8. The leader knows that he is opposed to the forces of darkness. The leader knows that the fight against him is merciless. The leader knows how cunning the tricks of darkness are, but he has two weapons against darkness. The first is personal vigilance and moderation in life; second – Communication with the Forces of Light in all Their Invincibility. It is no small joke to face all the horrors of darkness - and one cannot turn away from them. But the Leader feels the Guiding Hand, and in battle the feeling of this Hand appears to him or the breath of Grace descends on his body. The Leader will not miss such signs of Grace. The leader must help the people and clear the meaning of confused expressions. The confusion of life largely stems from the confusion of concepts. This means that the best language experts must be assembled to clear the meaning of words.

9. A leader must be able to encourage, must recognize true talents; must give appropriate work. The manifestation of worthy praise will be a garden of gratitude, but it has already been said that gratitude is a bridge to the Highest Light.

10. The term and measure are determined in the heart of the Leader, but this knowledge is not arbitrariness. The statement of Communication gives immutable knowledge in connection with the future. It is said about the foresight of the Leader, but where can foresight come from if the Highest Gates are not open? How to create an understanding of deadlines if the Manager does not see the flow? Can the human mind understand everything that the Leader sees? Is human pride enough to put oneself above all else? Thus, the ignorant may not understand where the terms and measures come from, but the enlightened Consciousness knows about the Hierarchy of Light.

11. The connection of intimacy, like the law of attraction, is clear to both the clergyman and the scientist. How does the election take place? Just as grains of sand are separated by vibration. You can see how some of them are in a hurry to connect, but such patterns of rhythm do not at all mean separation; on the contrary, they only confirm the consistency of the combinations. “Fiery Heart, hurry in the cosmic rhythm and strengthen with yourself the beauty of the pattern of Being.”

12. Can anyone who cares about friendliness be called a tyrant? Is it possible to call someone who encourages cooperation that way? Is it possible to call someone who strives for knowledge that way? Is it possible to call that who builds creativity? Is it possible to call someone who deepens self-improvement this way? Of course, the ignorant of darkness fear all the statements of the Light, but these small vipers burn in the Fire of the Leader’s heart. Many names will be written on the sheets, but three hundred and sixty sheets will only remind of the Coming One. A special education of the heart is needed in order to recognize the characteristics of the Coming One. Only Communication with the Hierarchy will affirm an unshakable movement towards the Light. Who will find the strength to look at the radiance of Light if his eyes did not know the brilliance of the Ladder of Ascension?

13. The homeland asserts a magnetic attraction to a certain mentality. One can impoverish this concept with hypocrisy, but Higher Communication makes it possible to enrich the earthly homeland with expanded consciousness. It is not only the earthly homeland that attracts a person, it is only as a starting point for Infinity. Is it possible to humiliate the earthly homeland by comparison with Infinity? On the contrary, every exaltation will be worthy of the heart of the Leader.

14. The desire for help is the adornment of the Leader. How many opportunities arise from this noble desire. Many desires are reborn into passion, but the desire for help is the root of selflessness.

15. The people of labor joy have the right to expect a fair assessment of labor from the Leader. The leader must show a worthy understanding of labor as a core value. The leader must recognize the phenomenon of true merit, both mental, creative and muscular. Joy should be a consequence of work. A variety of educational shows and interviews will be a calming and clear guidance. It can be understood that the people of labor joy do not know retired employees. Only a case of illness or decrepitude gives public content. But there can be no talk of retirement when strength is not exhausted, for work is joy. It is impossible to deprive people of work, but one should choose for them work that corresponds to their nature. This will require a Council of educated scientists who, beyond superstition and prejudice, can judge enlightenedly. The Leader elects that Council, and let it be his responsibility to prevent the ignoramuses and servants of darkness. It is inconceivable that labor and cooperation should end up in ignorant hands and in the midst of self-interest. Labor is a measure of the quality of consciousness. Work must lead consciousness to improvement, then work will be the banner of Ascension and will bring joy and health. Thus, the Leader, first of all, is the patron of work and he himself knows how to rejoice in work.

17. Miracles live. It is precisely the knowledge of miracles that makes life worth living. Many ready-made combinations are broken by stupid denial and shameful blindness of consciousness.

18. Equality of genders and tribes is one of the foundations of the state. The leader must accept full responsibility for upholding these principles. No remnants should interfere with what is confirmed by Nature itself.

19. The speed of legal proceedings will invigorate the population. The leader must accept responsibility so that justice is delivered without delay. Judges must pass the test not in knowledge of formulas, but also from the point of view of knowledge of the human heart. Various experts may be involved, but the judge himself must have a sufficiently enlightened mind. The Leader himself must check the consciousness of the judges. Justice is a manifestation of the nobility of the state.

20. Nobody needs to know full distribution day of the Leader, for the population can wait for him every hour to provide help and encouragement. No one will refuse to accept the Leader at dawn or midnight. Also, the means of transportation themselves are chosen by the Leader unexpectedly, and the accompanying persons and clothing are approved by the Leader.

21. The leader cares not only about physical health people, but he guards a spiritual fortress. He understands the need for freedom of spiritual belief. He gathers Councils of wise persons so that spiritual freedom is not violated, for such freedom is the wings of the people.

22. Banknotes remain of two types. Some for foreign conversion and others for domestic. Such internal marks or certificates of cooperatives greatly contribute to the development of domestic industry. They also help with the exchange of goods and handicrafts. The number of such signs is not limited and is determined by the country of production. Thus, each resident of the Power can have three sources of income: the first is a small amount of international currency, which can be increased in connection with special tasks approved by the state; the second - from internal evidence provided by labor; the third - from the exchange of various goods and products.

23. The education of peoples must be carried out with primary education children, with possible early age. The earlier the better. Believe me, brain overwork occurs only from clumsiness. Every mother, approaching the cradle of her child, will say the first formula of education - you can do anything. There is no need for prohibitions, even harmful things should not be prohibited, but it is better to divert attention to something more useful and attractive. That education will be the best, which can magnify the attractiveness of the good. At the same time, there is no need to mutilate beautiful images, as if in the name of childish misunderstanding. Don't humiliate children! Remember firmly that true science is appealing, concise, accurate and beautiful. It is necessary that families have at least a rudimentary understanding of education. After seven years, much has already been lost. Usually after three years the body is full of perceptions. The driver’s hand, already at the first step, should pay attention and point to distant worlds. A young eye should sense infinity. It is the eye that must get used to admitting Infinity.

It is also necessary that the word expresses the exact thought. Lies, rudeness and ridicule are expelled. Betrayal, even in its infancy, is unacceptable. Working “like the big guys” is encouraged. Only consciousness up to three years old can easily accommodate cooperation. How wrong it is to think that a child should be given his things, because the child will easily understand how things can be common.

The consciousness “I can do anything” is not boasting, but only awareness of the apparatus. The most wretched can find a wire to Infinity, for each work, in its own quality, opens the gates.

24. Education in lower and secondary schools should be the same for both sexes. You cannot force a specialty on a child when he cannot yet find his abilities. Enough high school, to divide the program by talent. In this way, it is possible to unite the education of those who can immediately discover their inclinations. It is very important that the program does not differ between genders. This one condition alone will erase a very harmful attitude towards gender.

25. It is necessary to check the school programs and strengthen the line of reliable knowledge. The idealism of superstition drives people into the cracks of horror. This correction of school thinking must be carried out immediately, otherwise another generation of idiots will disgrace the planet. We need to strengthen our science by understanding the meaning of this word. Biology, astrophysics, and chemistry attract the attention of the earliest children's brains. Give children the opportunity to think. Also deepen the course in elementary schools. This is advice for immediate use.

26. All obsolete items must be removed. Make ancient languages ​​selected. Of course, the program changes based on population. But the study of general linguistics should be introduced. Particularly develop visual learning, natural Sciences, geography, applied knowledge and crafts. Spiritual conversations are introduced, in the spirit of various religions, depending on the composition of the students. The distinction between a village and a city gymnasium is being destroyed. One primary school for all, one secondary school for all and one university for all.

Pay special attention to elementary schools. In primary school, learning is shared until the age of ten. Average - from 10 to 16 years, but, of course, depends on abilities. high school is not coeducational. Exams are cancelled, but everyone must submit independent work. Let even a seven-year-old child prove himself. This makes it easier to judge abilities. Schools should be the most beautiful buildings.

Spiritual conversations take place in a special room where images of all the Founders of religions hang.

It should be added about schools, let them not kill the individuality of the spirit. Of course, all politics are excluded. I think - summer camps very helpful. Military schools are abolished, but military discipline is introduced in schools. For those wishing to devote themselves to military affairs, a Military Academy is established, an institution equivalent to a University. Those entering the Academy are exempt from military service, because they are registered in the service; the rest go to serve.

Participation of women in urban agriculture.

27. To direct consciousness into the future is the task of a true school. Nobody wants to understand that the transfer of consciousness into the future is the formation of a carrier magnet. But the point is that consciousness must be fully directed into the future. Many people believe that it is possible to sometimes think about the future and then wallow in the past again. It is necessary not to devote individual thoughts to the future, but to tune the essence of consciousness in the key of the future. You cannot force yourself to such a transformation; you can only achieve it by loving the future. The country of labor joy, improving the quality of work, can naturally be drawn into the future. The duty of the Leader is to direct the people into the future.

28. Evolutionary world processes should be presented in a very exciting way in schools. The homeland emerges from world processes and should occupy a completely conditioned place and meaning. Everyone should know the true value of their fatherland, but it should not be a growing tree in the desert, it has its own cooperation with many nations. Also, the belief about the Supreme Justice will come from knowledge of reality. Let the processes of the world find living interpreters. The Leader himself must ensure that these great paths of nations are not distorted for the sake of ignorance.

29. Each association can take place only on a cooperative basis. One has only to allow an element of conquest, suppression and humiliation, and sooner or later these disgusting shadows will turn into destructive monsters. Therefore, every violence cannot be included in the construction of a stronghold. One can find the power of joy in collaboration, but such collaboration requires the art of thinking.

Who distributes the forces for productive labor? Only those who know how to imagine useful cooperation. He must be able to imagine such general work, but, as you know, imagination needs to be cultivated. The task of every school is to open a grounded imagination.

30. Every strike movement is unacceptable as a destruction of production. Only under very crude forms of government can such madness occur. Humanity is at a sufficient stage of intelligence to understand the resolution of controversial issues through reasonable deliberations. Every destructive condition must be quickly exposed. In a state of hostility there can be no talk of cooperation. Intelligent forces must unite to avoid the danger of disaster. If spiritual understanding were added to mechanical discoveries, then balance could be achieved.

31. In addition to cooperatives, there are fraternities for cultural communication. Not many people will understand where the border between a business cooperative and a cultural fraternity is. But every school, every institution can unite a circle of people who are capable of striving for spiritual improvement. We need to promote unity in every possible way. Entire cadres of mobile mentors should visit such brotherhoods and bring the joy of knowledge. The government encourages the education of mentors. They may be various specialists, but when vacation time comes, they devote part of their time to visiting fraternities. It is very important that mentors are various specialties, only then can they interpret in a variety of ways about attractive discoveries and achievements in various industries.

Children especially need to be encouraged in their aspirations to improve their lives. Prizes can be given to young inventors, but they should not be limited only to the mechanical part of life. The same improvements can happen everywhere, even in very elevated areas - this is how the minds of the people will come out of their sleep. But every improvement is positive in its essence. Only through continuous, exciting movement can people's prosperity be achieved.

32. How different the building plans are. We once said – give everything. Let's go further and say: take everything, but don't consider it yours.

A simple mind will understand how impossible it is to take earthly things with you. But they were created with the participation of the spirit, and therefore should not be neglected. How can you pass by the flowers of nature? But the creations of the spirit are also the flowers of humanity. If their smell and color are imperfect, then you should regret it.

33. It is good to understand owning things without a sense of ownership. It’s good to have things to take care of them and even fill them with a good aura with the thought of passing them on to others. The manifestation of the hand of creativity lives in the house without attachment to property and, improved, will carry joy further. And the sign of the giving hand will remain continuously, this is the justification of things. Understanding this will solve the most difficult question. I speak for the world, for the main destruction of the world is from attachment to non-existent property. To tell this to the people means to bring out the fear of old age.

The phenomenon of ownership without property will open the way for everyone without conditional inheritance. He who can improve, owns it. This applies to land, forests, and waters. All achievements of mechanics and different kinds inventions are subject to the same. It's easy to imagine how it will work folk art, especially knowing that only the spirit gives The best decision. Questions will reach out to the hearth of the spirit - what is best? And the swords of the spirit will strike down wickedness. Truly, it pays to do better. The law is simple, like everything in the spirit.

34. When a difficulty arises with an inheritance, you can say: the wills have been revoked, but you can leave the state a wish that the use of a certain object be transferred to a certain person for a trial period of three years. In this way, the inheritance will be turned into cooperation of the worthy. You can instruct special elected officials to monitor the quality of work. It is useful to deepen the awareness of constant testing, because the people do not yet know how to work with the consciousness of testing. Meanwhile, all the substances of the world are mutually tested. So we need to understand improvement by testing.

35. The desire for true cooperation lies at the heart of evolution. The cooperative system is the only salvation. The path of ignorance can only be destroyed by awakening creativity. Let its forms even be monstrous. Let them make the sun out of splinters in the backyard, but an ebullient stream will break through the walls of matter. New discoveries will intensify collecting. Instead of the stock exchange game, let there be aspirations of finding, supported by cooperatives.

36. Don't live on income from money. This is unclean profit. Better transfer of goods in the exchange of things, in extreme cases, can be allowed in exchange for money that is directly circulated.

Criminal speculation must be pursued relentlessly, because the Earth is sick with speculation. Each era has its own disease - now the Earth is sick with speculation. One should not think that humanity has always been susceptible to this disease. But it is a sign of a significant change, because it cannot go away gradually, and a paroxysm of evolution is needed to break the infection.

37. Monetary alms must be destroyed. Help with work or things. There should be no unemployed when the people follow the path of the spirit. Our business is to show the benefit of perfection not for the Invisible World, but for ourselves.

38. The main misunderstanding will be that work is rest. Many activities will have to be cancelled. The main thing is to understand that works of science and art are education, but not entertainment. A number of entertainments should be destroyed as a breeding ground for vulgarity. The education front must clear out the dens of beer-drinking fools. Also the phenomenon of swearing should find stricter punishment. Also, the phenomenon of narrow specialization should be condemned.

39. Let us honor the Leader with all understanding. Let us reveal the affirmation of the Leader, who maintains constant fire in success and failure. The leader carries the flame of unquenchable feat. The teaching of life is not interrupted by either fatigue or grief. The heart of the Leader lives by the feat of the people. He has no fear and there is no word “afraid” in his vocabulary. By his example, he brightly lights the light and creates the consciousness of the people.

The Leader's hands know no rest. The Leader's head supports the weight of affairs. The Leader's mind seeks firmness of decisions. The power of experience breaks the weakness of others. At the limit of damage it fills with new possibilities. He builds strongholds on the line of retreat. Unfurls the Banner in front of the enemy's eyes. Calls the day of fatigue a day of rest. Allows for the phenomenon of misunderstanding, like litter on the doorstep. Secrets can be hidden in the folds of work clothes. A miracle for the Leader is only a trace of a horseshoe. For a Leader, determination is just lunch!

40. The Leader places four stones as the basis for his actions. The first is veneration of the Hierarchy. The second is the consciousness of Unity. The third is the consciousness of Commensurability. The fourth is the application of the canon “by your Lord.”

41. The discipline of freedom distinguishes the Leader. Not only the spirit is disciplined, but also the quality of external actions. It is not the Leader’s custom to be too sad. It is not the Leader’s custom to count people too broadly. It is not the Leader’s custom to wait too much. Need to be able to replace complex plan simpler, never the other way around. For opponents act from simple to complex.

42. You need to show discipline of spirit, without it you will not be able to become free. For a slave it will be a prison, for a free one it will be a beautiful and healing garden.

He who understands the discipline of the spirit will understand the direction of the fire and will reach the cooperation of the Common Good. The end of the path can be illuminated by a thousand lights of the Common Good.

43. A clear, concise order is difficult, but it is stronger magic wand. A statement is easier, but an order is like an unexpected column of flame from a volcano. A concentrated sense of personal responsibility lies in the order. The indication of the inexhaustibility of force lies in the order. The aspiration of the Cosmos is revealed in the fury of the order, like a crushing wave. Wipe away your tears of kindness, we need sparks of indignation of the spirit!

What a dam regrets make, but wings grow at the end of the sword!

44. Please note that decrees are prepared in advance and thus can enter the consciousness of the executors. Therefore, without cooperation, an order is like an arrow flying against the wind. Even the surprise of an order must be foreseen. Then the surprise will turn into experienced tension.

A leader knows how to inspire cooperation not only in actions, but also in thinking. Only then can the employee be released at a distance. The phenomenon of commission obliges independent actions. The stream will carry those who strive.

45. You can learn how to encourage spiritual people. True, they do feats of spirit not for the sake of encouragement, but still they also need it and the maintenance of spiritual direction. Every ruler must know not only the power of censure, but also must understand the benefit of encouragement, the latter is more difficult. But what Grace comes when the ruler knows what someone needs for the “Lotus” to bloom. You can have many hermits, but their good tension will not give the highest measure of energy if the surrounding forces are hostile. Therefore, the heart should be strengthened in the desire to understand the best.

46. The Leader is bad, hiding the true danger. It can be overcome only with complete knowledge.

This is how a Leader should act without fear and, if possible, on his own. The phenomenon of personal responsibility is correct. Not miracles, not quotes, but a statement backed by personal example. Even a mistake in daring is easier to correct than the stoop of mumbling! Precious is action that does not require apparatus or assistants! He who discovers a precious formula cannot shout it out the window, for the harm will cover the best benefit.

Precisely, like a closed vessel, like an unplundered mountain, like a bow tense with an arrow - this is how the Leader stands. And that the drink of the vessel is fiery, and that the mountain is inexhaustible and the arrow is deadly - this is how it works. For who would dare to say that difficulty is not the fastest achievement! The milk rivers will turn sour, and the jelly banks will be uncomfortable for sitting. So, the Leader hastens in the chain mail of personal responsibility. Success is only where complete courage is shown. Minor doubts will give birth to slavish timidity.

The well-being of nations revolves around one individual. There are many examples of this throughout history, in various fields. Many will attribute this undoubted phenomenon to the individual as such. This is what the short-sighted do, but the more far-sighted understand that such collectors are nothing other than the power of the Hierarchy.

Indeed, in all phenomena, the Hierarchy chooses a focus to which the current can be directed. In addition, a person of this order has a conscious or unconscious fire that makes communication easy. But another quality is also necessary on the part of the people themselves - they need trust and a consciousness of strength. This quality is needed as a link in a fiery machine.

You see for yourself how the nations that have established themselves on the Driver are growing. You see for yourself that there is no other way. So you need to realize the link of the Hierarchy. There is no need to be shortsighted.

1. The leader stands on a ridge that has no descent. A born Leader can find the boundary between opposites. Carpets of victory are woven from these secret borders. Every day, every hour, a yarn of secrets is spread out before the Leader. Here in front of him is condescension or connivance. Of course, from the first the second is born, but between them lies the Sword of Justice. After all, condescension comes from the Light, but connivance comes from darkness. On the ridge between them lies the Leader's Sword. The place where the Sword can lie is narrow. There is also a narrow line between courage and cruelty. Only the Leader’s heart knows where these edges are. The riddle of the boundaries of Justice does not appear in the great Councils; the same riddles exist in all life, therefore for the Leader there is neither small nor great. The Leader's attention is equally keen in all decisions. The appearance of the Leader does not ask for advice, but can accept advice. The leader does not know whether he is late, but he will not delay anyone. He has the advantage of appearing unexpectedly and can imagine how long each item will take. He is not upset by slander, but knows how to apply every word. He is incorruptible, for he does not collect earthly riches. He knows the meaning of sound and color, like a physician of human hearts. He knows how to rejoice in the Truth, but rejects illusion. So, the path of the Leader is the path of Truth.

2. Loss of spirit is not characteristic of a Leader, but the oppression of a poisoned atmosphere can act on a strong consciousness, therefore even the strongest should not be left without cosmic support. What can the Leader achieve if he is cut off from the saving connection? It is the Leader, who has accepted the burden of leadership, who must attach himself to the Ladder of the Higher World. It is he who, in the work of his heart, must constantly strengthen himself with the emanations of Grace. He must contact the Hierarchies with frequent conversations and must note all the signs sent, which for the ignorant are only superstition. How many useful observations are destroyed by a lack of understanding that there is real superstition. People sometimes call simply open eyes superstition, but a Leader must be above superstition and prejudice. Let's imagine how life would change if all prejudices, prejudices and premeditated decisions were removed.

It is earthly judges who have to endure very difficult karma.

3. There is no need to envy the leader, for he bears all the burden of life. You can remember how, when meeting one of the Conquerors, an old woman began to cry bitterly. When they asked - where are you from - with general joy? - she said: “I really feel sorry for Him.”

4. They may ask why I am talking about the Leader and not the ruler? The difference between them is huge. The ruler presupposes the present and, as it were, the management of something already existing, but the Leader reveals, in the very meaning of the word, the future. He has not received what has already been put together, but he leads, and his every action propels him forward. The ruler knows what has already been put together and completed, but the Leader does not have what was previously approved and must lead the people to the Mountain of Perfection. If the ruler’s burden is great, then the Leader’s responsibility is even greater, but on the other hand, the Highest Powers assert Their Throne where there are signs of leadership. The leader must distinguish between pretense and sincerity. The manifestation of the virtue of the heart is very different from forced servility, and the Leader has the power to distinguish this property.

Many have read how David questioned the Higher Powers. He resorted to this Source to avoid unnecessary mistakes. There are many such examples in the history of different nations. Everyone knows about them. You don’t even need to dive into ancient times, and these signs of Communication and Service of the Great are visible in recent events. But we also know that the Great Communion requires a pure heart. Nothing unclean will receive Communion, therefore the Symbol of the Leader must be a sign of purity of heart. Not only in action, but also in thoughts, the Leader brings good to the peoples, he knows that he is entrusted with bringing a full cup, he does not lose his way in wandering, he does not spill the entrusted cup - so the concept of the Leader is a sign of the Future.

5. Remember how much people need the concept of a Leader. They want to have a guarantor before the Highest, they understand how impossible it is to find a way without communication, but they know that the Leader is coming. Nothing can ever hinder the Leader unless he is restrained by earthly manifestations that decide his retreat; the pure aspiration of the Leader cannot be stopped beyond the deadline.

6. Each Leader, of course, will encounter many circumstances along the way that can burden his karma. This is inevitable, but only an ordinary, earthly solution will not resolve such pressure. Why should the Leader take on an extra burden if he is in Communication with the Higher Powers? When he fulfills the Command of the Higher Powers, he will not burden his karma, but for such a happy position he must strain his entire consciousness towards the Higher World. He must free himself from interfering habits and re-educate his will, placing it in an inextricable connection with the Leader. You need to get used to such Communication so that it enters life as a single basis. Also, the Leader should not know revenge as one of the most animal feelings. There is no time for the Leader to take revenge when he does not know infringement, for he is in constant motion. The Leader also knows that nowhere is peace commanded as the mortification of energy. The Leader also understands that doubt is not a search for truth. Everyone who looks into the distance rushes towards the Truth, but the one who doubts turns back, and that is his destruction.

7. An impenetrable shell can be made of metal or silk, but the best shell is fiery. Will the Leader walk the destined path without a fiery shell? How else can we ward off all the arrows of malice and swords of hatred? But many leaders, even with their earthly consciousness, sensed that they were protected by a fiery shell. Entire books could be written about the magnetism of the destined leader. One can notice that it is not appearance, not voice, not wealth, but something else that convinces peoples. I have spoken more than once about the Fire of the Heart. It is this magnetic shell that both attracts and protects. As it is said, “I will take all the arrows into my shield.” But this shield must be forged. This shield can only be revealed from Above, but how many thoughts and conversations must be preceded in order for Communication to be created and forge the fiery shell! It takes not a day or an hour to make Communication pure, alive and present everywhere. It is in vain to think that science moves away from the Higher World; it can change earthly names, but the triune essence remains as the basis. Moreover, the Leader knows how to imagine where the essence is. He may not say the unpronounceable word, but he will feel it in his heart. That word will help the Leader not to lose understanding of the world; only it easily provides a wonderful shell.

8. The leader knows that he is opposed to the forces of darkness. The leader knows that the fight against him is merciless. The leader knows how cunning the tricks of darkness are, but he has two weapons against darkness. The first is personal vigilance and moderation in life; second – Communication with the Forces of Light in all Their Invincibility. It is no small joke to face all the horrors of darkness - and one cannot turn away from them. But the Leader feels the Guiding Hand, and in battle the feeling of this Hand appears to him or the breath of Grace descends on his body. The Leader will not miss such signs of Grace. The leader must help the people and clear the meaning of confused expressions. The confusion of life largely stems from the confusion of concepts. This means that the best language experts must be assembled to clear the meaning of words.

9. A leader must be able to encourage, must recognize true talents; must give appropriate work. The manifestation of worthy praise will be a garden of gratitude, but it has already been said that gratitude is a bridge to the Highest Light.

10. The term and measure are determined in the heart of the Leader, but this knowledge is not arbitrariness. The statement of Communication gives immutable knowledge in connection with the future. It is said about the foresight of the Leader, but where can foresight come from if the Highest Gates are not open? How to create an understanding of deadlines if the Manager does not see the flow? Can the human mind understand everything that the Leader sees? Is human pride enough to put oneself above all else? Thus, the ignorant may not understand where the terms and measures come from, but the enlightened Consciousness knows about the Hierarchy of Light.

11. The connection of intimacy, like the law of attraction, is clear to both the clergyman and the scientist. How does the election take place? Just as grains of sand are separated by vibration. You can see how some of them are in a hurry to connect, but such patterns of rhythm do not at all mean separation; on the contrary, they only confirm the consistency of the combinations. “Fiery Heart, hurry in the cosmic rhythm and strengthen with yourself the beauty of the pattern of Being.”

12. Can anyone who cares about friendliness be called a tyrant? Is it possible to call someone who encourages cooperation that way? Is it possible to call someone who strives for knowledge that way? Is it possible to call that who builds creativity? Is it possible to call someone who deepens self-improvement this way? Of course, the ignorant of darkness fear all the statements of the Light, but these small vipers burn in the Fire of the Leader’s heart. Many names will be written on the sheets, but three hundred and sixty sheets will only remind of the Coming One. A special education of the heart is needed in order to recognize the characteristics of the Coming One. Only Communication with the Hierarchy will affirm an unshakable movement towards the Light. Who will find the strength to look at the radiance of Light if his eyes did not know the brilliance of the Ladder of Ascension?

13. The homeland asserts a magnetic attraction to a certain mentality. One can impoverish this concept with hypocrisy, but Higher Communication makes it possible to enrich the earthly homeland with expanded consciousness. It is not only the earthly homeland that attracts a person, it is only as a starting point for Infinity. Is it possible to humiliate the earthly homeland by comparison with Infinity? On the contrary, every exaltation will be worthy of the heart of the Leader.

14. The desire for help is the adornment of the Leader. How many opportunities arise from this noble desire. Many desires are reborn into passion, but the desire for help is the root of selflessness.

15. The people of labor joy have the right to expect a fair assessment of labor from the Leader. The leader must show a worthy understanding of labor as a core value. The leader must recognize the phenomenon of true merit, both mental, creative and muscular. Joy should be a consequence of work. A variety of educational shows and interviews will be a calming and clear guidance. It can be understood that the people of labor joy do not know retired employees. Only a case of illness or decrepitude provides social content. But there can be no talk of retirement when strength is not exhausted, for work is joy. It is impossible to deprive people of work, but one should choose for them work that corresponds to their nature. This will require a Council of educated scientists who, beyond superstition and prejudice, can judge enlightenedly. The Leader elects that Council, and let it be his responsibility to prevent the ignoramuses and servants of darkness. It is inconceivable that labor and cooperation should end up in ignorant hands and in the midst of self-interest. Labor is a measure of the quality of consciousness. Work must lead consciousness to improvement, then work will be the banner of Ascension and will bring joy and health. Thus, the Leader, first of all, is the patron of work and he himself knows how to rejoice in work.

17. Miracles live. It is precisely the knowledge of miracles that makes life worth living. Many ready-made combinations are broken by stupid denial and shameful blindness of consciousness.

18. Equality of genders and tribes is one of the foundations of the state. The leader must accept full responsibility for upholding these principles. No remnants should interfere with what is confirmed by Nature itself.

19. The speed of legal proceedings will invigorate the population. The leader must accept responsibility so that justice is delivered without delay. Judges must pass the test not in knowledge of formulas, but also from the point of view of knowledge of the human heart. Various experts may be involved, but the judge himself must have a sufficiently enlightened mind. The Leader himself must check the consciousness of the judges. Justice is a manifestation of the nobility of the state.

20. No one should know the complete distribution of the Leader's day, for the population can wait for him hourly to provide help and encouragement. No one will refuse to accept the Leader at dawn or midnight. Also, the means of transportation themselves are chosen by the Leader unexpectedly, and the accompanying persons and clothing are approved by the Leader.

21. The leader cares not only about the physical health of the people, but he guards the spiritual fortress. He understands the need for freedom of spiritual belief. He gathers Councils of wise persons so that spiritual freedom is not violated, for such freedom is the wings of the people.

22. Banknotes remain of two types. Some for foreign conversion and others for domestic. Such internal marks or certificates of cooperatives greatly contribute to the development of domestic industry. They also help with the exchange of goods and handicrafts. The number of such signs is not limited and is determined by the country of production. Thus, each resident of the Power can have three sources of income: the first is a small amount of international currency, which can be increased in connection with special tasks approved by the state; the second - from internal evidence provided by labor; the third - from the exchange of various goods and products.

23. The education of peoples must begin with the primary education of children, from as early an age as possible. The earlier the better. Believe me, brain overwork occurs only from clumsiness. Every mother, approaching the cradle of her child, will say the first formula of education - you can do anything. There is no need for prohibitions, even harmful things should not be prohibited, but it is better to divert attention to something more useful and attractive. That education will be the best, which can magnify the attractiveness of the good. At the same time, there is no need to mutilate beautiful images, as if in the name of childish misunderstanding. Don't humiliate children! Remember firmly that true science is appealing, concise, accurate and beautiful. It is necessary that families have at least a rudimentary understanding of education. After seven years, much has already been lost. Usually after three years the body is full of perceptions. The driver’s hand, already at the first step, should pay attention and point to distant worlds. A young eye should sense infinity. It is the eye that must get used to admitting Infinity.

It is also necessary that the word expresses the exact thought. Lies, rudeness and ridicule are expelled. Betrayal, even in its infancy, is unacceptable. Working “like the big guys” is encouraged. Only consciousness up to three years old can easily accommodate cooperation. How wrong it is to think that a child should be given his things, because the child will easily understand how things can be common.

The consciousness “I can do anything” is not boasting, but only awareness of the apparatus. The most wretched can find a wire to Infinity, for each work, in its own quality, opens the gates.

24. Education in lower and secondary schools should be the same for both sexes. You cannot force a specialty on a child when he cannot yet find his abilities. High school is enough to divide the program by talent. In this way, it is possible to unite the education of those who can immediately discover their inclinations. It is very important that the program does not differ between genders. This one condition alone will erase a very harmful attitude towards gender.

25. It is necessary to check the school programs and strengthen the line of reliable knowledge. The idealism of superstition drives people into the cracks of horror. This correction of school thinking must be carried out immediately, otherwise another generation of idiots will disgrace the planet. We need to strengthen our science by understanding the meaning of this word. Biology, astrophysics, and chemistry attract the attention of the earliest children's brains. Give children the opportunity to think. Also deepen the course in elementary schools. This is advice for immediate use.

26. All obsolete items must be removed. Make ancient languages ​​selected. Of course, the program changes based on population. But the study of general linguistics should be introduced. Particularly develop visual learning, natural sciences, geography, applied knowledge and crafts. Spiritual conversations are introduced, in the spirit of various religions, depending on the composition of the students. The distinction between a village and a city gymnasium is being destroyed. One primary school for all, one secondary school for all and one university for all.

Pay special attention to elementary schools. In primary school, learning is shared until the age of ten. Average - from 10 to 16 years, but, of course, depends on abilities. The high school is not coeducational. Exams are cancelled, but everyone must submit independent work. Let even a seven-year-old child prove himself. This makes it easier to judge abilities. Schools should be the most beautiful buildings.

Spiritual conversations take place in a special room where images of all the Founders of religions hang.

It should be added about schools, let them not kill the individuality of the spirit. Of course, all politics are excluded. I think summer camps are very useful. Military schools are abolished, but military discipline is introduced in schools. For those wishing to devote themselves to military affairs, a Military Academy is established, an institution equivalent to a University. Those entering the Academy are exempt from military service, because they are registered in the service; the rest go to serve.

Participation of women in urban agriculture.

27. To direct consciousness into the future is the task of a true school. Nobody wants to understand that the transfer of consciousness into the future is the formation of a carrier magnet. But the point is that consciousness must be fully directed into the future. Many people believe that it is possible to sometimes think about the future and then wallow in the past again. It is necessary not to devote individual thoughts to the future, but to tune the essence of consciousness in the key of the future. You cannot force yourself to such a transformation; you can only achieve it by loving the future. The country of labor joy, improving the quality of work, can naturally be drawn into the future. The duty of the Leader is to direct the people into the future.

28. Evolutionary world processes should be presented in a very exciting way in schools. The homeland emerges from world processes and should occupy a completely conditioned place and meaning. Everyone should know the true value of their fatherland, but it should not be a growing tree in the desert, it has its own cooperation with many nations. Also, the belief about the Supreme Justice will come from knowledge of reality. Let the processes of the world find living interpreters. The Leader himself must ensure that these great paths of nations are not distorted for the sake of ignorance.

29. Each association can take place only on a cooperative basis. One has only to allow an element of conquest, suppression and humiliation, and sooner or later these disgusting shadows will turn into destructive monsters. Therefore, every violence cannot be included in the construction of a stronghold. One can find the power of joy in collaboration, but such collaboration requires the art of thinking.

Who distributes the forces for productive labor? Only those who know how to imagine useful cooperation. He should be able to imagine such a general work, but, as you know, imagination needs to be educated. The task of every school is to open a grounded imagination.

30. Every strike movement is unacceptable as a destruction of production. Only under very crude forms of government can such madness occur. Humanity is at a sufficient stage of intelligence to understand the resolution of controversial issues through reasonable deliberations. Every destructive condition must be quickly exposed. In a state of hostility there can be no talk of cooperation. Intelligent forces must unite to avoid the danger of disaster. If spiritual understanding were added to mechanical discoveries, then balance could be achieved.

31. In addition to cooperatives, there are fraternities for cultural communication. Not many people will understand where the border between a business cooperative and a cultural fraternity is. But every school, every institution can unite a circle of people who are capable of striving for spiritual improvement. We need to promote unity in every possible way. Entire cadres of mobile mentors should visit such brotherhoods and bring the joy of knowledge. The government encourages the education of mentors. They may be various specialists, but when vacation time comes, they devote part of their time to visiting fraternities. It is very important that mentors have different specialties, only then can they give a variety of interpretations about attractive discoveries and achievements in various industries.

“Parting words to the leader” is a special kind of book. It is directly connected with the Teaching of Living Ethics, although it is not included in the canonical list of books of the Teaching. As Elena Ivanovna Roerich reports, it contains paragraphs contained in other books, “but there are some that have not been published anywhere.”

The specificity of the texts of “Words to the Leader” is that they are addressed primarily to people called to become leaders and leaders of humanity. It should be noted, however, that the concept of leader does not have the meaning to which we are accustomed. The spiritual aspect comes to the fore. A leader is a person who has consciously taken upon himself the burdens of serving people and does not demand anything for himself personally for this service. The book is divided into one hundred and ninety-three paragraphs. They were assembled into a single whole in 1933. At the beginning of thirty-four, Nicholas Roerich took one copy of the book to the USA.

Three years later, at the request of Elena Ivanovna, “Farewell to the Leader” was printed in Riga by lithographic method in a limited quantity: only 50 copies. It was given to read only to the closest like-minded people. It was not allowed to rewrite, retype, or make extracts. Actually, this is understandable and explainable. At a time when so many false leaders appeared on the political horizon, only a select few had access to the innermost meaning of the book. It was intended for the future.

Only the changing times, when the secret begins to become apparent, changed the situation with the book. Correspondence between Elena Ivanovna Roerich and US President Franklin Roosevelt was published, capturing many thoughts from the Parting Words to the Leader. Svyatoslav Nikolaevich Roerich in conversations emphasizes the exceptional relevance of this book specifically for our period of time. Anyone who reads it will undoubtedly be convinced that it fully corresponds to the spirit of new thinking, which should build relations between people and states according to the laws of cosmic beauty.

The well-being of nations revolves around one individual. There are many examples of this throughout history, in various fields. Many will attribute this undoubted phenomenon to the individual as such. This is what the short-sighted do, but the more far-sighted understand that such collectors are nothing other than the power of the Hierarchy.

Indeed, in all phenomena, the Hierarchy chooses a focus to which the current can be directed. In addition, a person of this order has a conscious or unconscious fire that makes communication easy. But another quality is also necessary on the part of the people themselves - they need trust and a consciousness of strength. This quality is needed as a link in a fiery machine.

You see for yourself how the nations that have established themselves on the Driver are growing. You see for yourself that there is no other way. So you need to realize the link of the Hierarchy. There is no need to be shortsighted.

The leader stands on a ridge that has no descent. A born Leader can find the boundary between opposites. Carpets of victory are woven from these secret borders. Every day, every hour, a yarn of secrets is spread out before the Leader. Here in front of him is condescension or connivance. Of course, the first gives birth to the second, but between them lies the Sword of Justice. After all, condescension comes from the Light, but connivance comes from darkness. On the ridge between them lies the Leader's Sword. The place where the Sword can lie is narrow. There is also a narrow line between courage and cruelty. Only the Leader’s heart knows where these edges are. The riddle of the boundaries of Justice does not appear in the great Councils; the same riddles exist in all life, because for the Leader there is neither small nor great. The Leader's attention is equally keen in all decisions. The appearance of the Leader does not ask for advice, but can accept advice. The leader does not know whether he is late, but he will not delay anyone. He has the advantage of appearing unexpectedly and can imagine how long each item will take. He is not upset by slander, but knows how to apply every word. He is incorruptible, for he does not collect earthly riches. He knows the meaning of sound and color as a physician of human hearts. He knows how to rejoice in the Truth, but rejects illusion. So the path of the Leader is the path of Truth.

Loss of spirit is not characteristic of a Leader, but the oppression of a poisoned atmosphere can act on a strong consciousness, therefore even the strongest must not be left without cosmic support. What can the Leader achieve if he is cut off from the saving connection? It is the Leader, who has accepted the burden of leadership, who must attach himself to the Ladder of the Higher World. It is he who, in the work of his heart, must constantly strengthen himself with the emanations of Grace. He must address the Hierarchy with private conversations and must note all the signs sent, which for the ignorant are only superstition. How many useful observations are destroyed by a lack of understanding that there is real superstition. People sometimes call simply open eyes superstition, but a Leader must be above superstition and prejudice. Let's imagine how life would change if all prejudices, prejudices and premeditated decisions were removed. It is earthly judges who have to endure very difficult karma.

Also, the means of transportation themselves are chosen by the Leader unexpectedly, and the accompanying persons and clothing are approved by the Leader.

The leader cares not only about the physical health of the people, but he guards the spiritual fortress. He understands the need for freedom of spiritual belief. He gathers a Council of wise persons so that spiritual freedom is not violated, for such freedom is the wings of the people.

Banknotes remain of two types. Some for foreign conversion and others for domestic. Such internal marks or certificates of cooperatives greatly contribute to the development of domestic industry. They also help with the exchange of goods and handicrafts. The number of such signs is not limited and is determined by the country of production. Thus, each resident of the State can have three sources of income: first, a small amount of international currency, which can be increased in connection with special tasks approved by the State; second, from internal evidence provided by labor; third, from the exchange of various goods and products.

The education of peoples must begin with the primary education of children, from as early an age as possible. The earlier the better. Believe me, brain overwork occurs only from clumsiness. Every mother, approaching the cradle of her child, will say the first formula of education - you can do anything. There is no need for prohibitions, even harmful things should not be prohibited, but it is better to divert attention to something more useful and attractive. That education will be the best, which can magnify the attractiveness of the good. At the same time, there is no need to mutilate beautiful images, as if in the name of childish misunderstanding. Don't humiliate children! Remember firmly that true science is appealing, concise, accurate and beautiful. It is necessary that families have at least a rudimentary understanding of education. After seven years, much has already been lost. Usually after three years the body is full of perception. The driver’s hand, already at the first step, should pay attention and point to distant worlds. A young eye should sense infinity. It is the eye that must get used to admitting Infinity.

It is also necessary that the word expresses the exact thought. Lies, rudeness, and ridicule are expelled. Betrayal, even in its infancy, is unacceptable. Working “like the big guys” is encouraged. Only consciousness up to three years old can easily accommodate cooperation. How wrong it is to think that a child should be given his things, because the child will easily understand how things can be common.

The consciousness “I can do anything” is not boasting, but only awareness of the apparatus. The most wretched can find a wire to Infinity, for each work, in its own quality, opens the gates.

Education in lower and secondary schools should be the same for both sexes. You cannot force a specialty on a child when he cannot yet find his abilities. High school is enough to divide the program according to talent. In this way, it is possible to unite the education of those who cannot immediately discover their inclinations. It is very important that the program does not differ between genders. This one condition alone will erase a very harmful attitude towards gender.

It is necessary to check the school programs and strengthen the line of reliable knowledge. The idealism of superstition drives people into the cracks of horror. This correction of school thinking must be carried out immediately, otherwise another generation of imbeciles will disgrace the planet. We need to strengthen our science by understanding the meaning of this word. Biology, astrophysics, and chemistry attract the attention of the earliest children's brains. Give children the opportunity to think. Also deepen the course in elementary schools. This is advice for immediate use.

All obsolete items must be removed. Make ancient languages ​​selected. Of course, the program changes based on population. But the study of general linguistics should be introduced. Particularly develop visual learning, natural sciences, geography, applied knowledge and crafts. Spiritual conversations are introduced, in the spirit of religions, depending on the composition of the students. The distinction between a village and a city gymnasium is being destroyed. One primary school for all, one secondary school for all and one university for all.

Pay special attention to elementary schools. In primary school, learning is shared until the age of ten. The average is from 10 to 16 years, but, of course, depends on abilities. The high school is not coeducational. Exams are cancelled, but everyone must submit independent work. Let even a seven-year-old child prove himself. This makes it easier to judge abilities. Schools should be the most beautiful buildings.

Spiritual conversations take place in a special room where images of all the Founders of religions hang.

It should be added about schools, let them not kill the individuality of the spirit. Of course, all politics are excluded. I think summer camps are very useful. Military schools are abolished, but military discipline is introduced in schools. For those wishing to devote themselves to military affairs, a Military Academy is established, an institution equivalent to a University. Those entering the Academy are exempt from military service, because they are registered in the service; the rest go to serve.

Participation of women in urban agriculture.

To direct consciousness into the future is the task of a true school. Nobody wants to understand that the transfer of consciousness into the future is the formation of a carrier magnet. But the point is that consciousness must be fully directed into the future. Many people believe that it is possible to sometimes think about the future and then wallow in the past again. It is necessary not to devote individual thoughts to the future, but to tune the essence of consciousness in the key of the future. You cannot force yourself to such a transformation; you can only achieve it by loving the future. The country of labor joy, improving the quality of work, can naturally be drawn into the future. The duty of the Leader is to direct the people into the future.

Evolutionary world processes should be presented in a very exciting way in schools. The homeland emerges from world processes and should occupy a completely conditioned place and meaning. Everyone should know the true value of their fatherland, but it should not be a growing tree in the desert, it has its own cooperation with many nations. Also, the belief about the Supreme Justice will come from knowledge of reality. Let the processes of the world find living interpreters. The Leader himself must ensure that these great paths of nations are not distorted for the sake of ignorance.

Each association can take place only on a cooperative basis. One has only to allow an element of conquest, suppression and humiliation, and sooner or later these disgusting shadows will turn into destructive monsters. Therefore, every violence cannot be included in the construction of a stronghold. One can find the power of joy in collaboration, but such collaboration requires the art of thinking.

Who distributes the forces for productive labor? Only those who know how to imagine useful cooperation. He should be able to imagine such a general work, but, as you know, imagination needs to be educated. The task of every school is to open a grounded imagination.

Helena Roerich

Parting words to the Leader

The well-being of nations revolves around one individual. There are many examples of this throughout history, in various fields. Many will attribute this undoubted phenomenon to the individual as such. This is what the short-sighted do, but the more far-sighted understand that such collectors are nothing other than the power of the Hierarchy.

Indeed, in all phenomena, the Hierarchy chooses a focus to which the current can be directed. In addition, a person of this order has a conscious or unconscious fire that makes communication easy. But another quality is also necessary on the part of the people themselves - they need trust and a consciousness of strength. This quality is needed as a link in a fiery machine.

You see for yourself how the nations that have established themselves on the Driver are growing. You see for yourself that there is no other way. So you need to realize the link of the Hierarchy. There is no need to be shortsighted.

1. The leader stands on a ridge that has no descent. A born Leader can find the boundary between opposites. Carpets of victory are woven from these secret borders. Every day, every hour, a yarn of secrets is spread out before the Leader. Here in front of him is condescension or connivance. Of course, from the first the second is born, but between them lies the Sword of Justice. After all, condescension comes from the Light, but connivance comes from darkness. On the ridge between them lies the Leader's Sword. The place where the Sword can lie is narrow. There is also a narrow line between courage and cruelty. Only the Leader’s heart knows where these edges are. The riddle of the boundaries of Justice does not appear in the great Councils; the same riddles exist in all life, therefore for the Leader there is neither small nor great. The Leader's attention is equally keen in all decisions. The appearance of the Leader does not ask for advice, but can accept advice. The leader does not know whether he is late, but he will not delay anyone. He has the advantage of appearing unexpectedly and can imagine how long each item will take. He is not upset by slander, but knows how to apply every word. He is incorruptible, for he does not collect earthly riches. He knows the meaning of sound and color, like a physician of human hearts. He knows how to rejoice in the Truth, but rejects illusion. So, the path of the Leader is the path of Truth.

2. Loss of spirit is not characteristic of a Leader, but the oppression of a poisoned atmosphere can act on a strong consciousness, therefore even the strongest should not be left without cosmic support. What can the Leader achieve if he is cut off from the saving connection? It is the Leader, who has accepted the burden of leadership, who must attach himself to the Ladder of the Higher World. It is he who, in the work of his heart, must constantly strengthen himself with the emanations of Grace. He must contact the Hierarchies with frequent conversations and must note all the signs sent, which for the ignorant are only superstition. How many useful observations are destroyed by a lack of understanding that there is real superstition. People sometimes call simply open eyes superstition, but a Leader must be above superstition and prejudice. Let's imagine how life would change if all prejudices, prejudices and premeditated decisions were removed. It is earthly judges who have to endure very difficult karma.

3. There is no need to envy the leader, for he bears all the burden of life. You can remember how, when meeting one of the Conquerors, an old woman began to cry bitterly. When they asked - where are you from - with general joy? - she said: “I really feel sorry for Him.”

4. They may ask why I am talking about the Leader and not the ruler? The difference between them is huge. The ruler presupposes the present and, as it were, the management of something already existing, but the Leader reveals, in the very meaning of the word, the future. He has not received what has already been put together, but he leads, and his every action propels him forward. The ruler knows what has already been put together and completed, but the Leader does not have what was previously approved and must lead the people to the Mountain of Perfection. If the ruler’s burden is great, then the Leader’s responsibility is even greater, but on the other hand, the Highest Powers assert Their Throne where there are signs of leadership. The leader must distinguish between pretense and sincerity. The manifestation of the virtue of the heart is very different from forced servility, and the Leader has the power to distinguish this property.

Many have read how David questioned the Higher Powers. He resorted to this Source to avoid unnecessary mistakes. There are many such examples in the history of different nations. Everyone knows about them. You don’t even need to dive into ancient times, and these signs of Communication and Service of the Great are visible in recent events. But we also know that the Great Communion requires a pure heart. Nothing unclean will receive Communion, therefore the Symbol of the Leader must be a sign of purity of heart. Not only in action, but also in thoughts, the Leader brings good to the peoples, he knows that he is entrusted with bringing a full cup, he does not lose his way in wandering, he does not spill the entrusted cup - so the concept of the Leader is a sign of the Future.

5. Remember how much people need the concept of a Leader. They want to have a guarantor before the Highest, they understand how impossible it is to find a way without communication, but they know that the Leader is coming. Nothing can ever hinder the Leader unless he is restrained by earthly manifestations that decide his retreat; the pure aspiration of the Leader cannot be stopped beyond the deadline.

6. Each Leader, of course, will encounter many circumstances along the way that can burden his karma. This is inevitable, but only an ordinary, earthly solution will not resolve such pressure. Why should the Leader take on an extra burden if he is in Communication with the Higher Powers? When he fulfills the Command of the Higher Powers, he will not burden his karma, but for such a happy position he must strain his entire consciousness towards the Higher World. He must free himself from interfering habits and re-educate his will, placing it in an inextricable connection with the Leader. You need to get used to such Communication so that it enters life as a single basis. Also, the Leader should not know revenge as one of the most animal feelings. There is no time for the Leader to take revenge when he does not know infringement, for he is in constant motion. The Leader also knows that nowhere is peace commanded as the mortification of energy. The Leader also understands that doubt is not a search for truth. Everyone who looks into the distance rushes towards the Truth, but the one who doubts turns back, and that is his destruction.

7. An impenetrable shell can be made of metal or silk, but the best shell is fiery. Will the Leader walk the destined path without a fiery shell? How else can we ward off all the arrows of malice and swords of hatred? But many leaders, even with their earthly consciousness, sensed that they were protected by a fiery shell. Entire books could be written about the magnetism of the destined leader. One can notice that it is not appearance, not voice, not wealth, but something else that convinces peoples. I have spoken more than once about the Fire of the Heart. It is this magnetic shell that both attracts and protects. As it is said, “I will take all the arrows into my shield.” But this shield must be forged. This shield can only be revealed from Above, but how many thoughts and conversations must be preceded in order for Communication to be created and forge the fiery shell! It takes not a day or an hour to make Communication pure, alive and present everywhere. It is in vain to think that science moves away from the Higher World; it can change earthly names, but the triune essence remains as the basis. Moreover, the Leader knows how to imagine where the essence is. He may not say the unpronounceable word, but he will feel it in his heart. That word will help the Leader not to lose understanding of the world; only it easily provides a wonderful shell.

8. The leader knows that he is opposed to the forces of darkness. The leader knows that the fight against him is merciless. The leader knows how cunning the tricks of darkness are, but he has two weapons against darkness. The first is personal vigilance and moderation in life; second – Communication with the Forces of Light in all Their Invincibility. It is no small joke to face all the horrors of darkness - and one cannot turn away from them. But the Leader feels the Guiding Hand, and in battle the feeling of this Hand appears to him or the breath of Grace descends on his body. The Leader will not miss such signs of Grace. The leader must help the people and clear the meaning of confused expressions. The confusion of life largely stems from the confusion of concepts. This means that the best language experts must be assembled to clear the meaning of words.

9. A leader must be able to encourage, must recognize true talents; must give appropriate work. The manifestation of worthy praise will be a garden of gratitude, but it has already been said that gratitude is a bridge to the Highest Light.

10. The term and measure are determined in the heart of the Leader, but this knowledge is not arbitrariness. The statement of Communication gives immutable knowledge in connection with the future. It is said about the foresight of the Leader, but where can foresight come from if the Highest Gates are not open? How to create an understanding of deadlines if the Manager does not see the flow? Can the human mind understand everything that the Leader sees? Is human pride enough to put oneself above all else? Thus, the ignorant may not understand where the terms and measures come from, but the enlightened Consciousness knows about the Hierarchy of Light.

11. The connection of intimacy, like the law of attraction, is clear to both the clergyman and the scientist. How does the election take place? Just as grains of sand are separated by vibration. You can see how some of them are in a hurry to connect, but such patterns of rhythm do not at all mean separation; on the contrary, they only confirm the consistency of the combinations. “Fiery Heart, hurry in the cosmic rhythm and strengthen with yourself the beauty of the pattern of Being.”

12. Can anyone who cares about friendliness be called a tyrant? Is it possible to call someone who encourages cooperation that way? Is it possible to call someone who strives for knowledge that way? Is it possible to call that who builds creativity? Is it possible to call someone who deepens self-improvement this way? Of course, the ignorant of darkness fear all the statements of the Light, but these small vipers burn in the Fire of the Leader’s heart. Many names will be written on the sheets, but three hundred and sixty sheets will only remind of the Coming One. A special education of the heart is needed in order to recognize the characteristics of the Coming One. Only Communication with the Hierarchy will affirm an unshakable movement towards the Light. Who will find the strength to look at the radiance of Light if his eyes did not know the brilliance of the Ladder of Ascension?

13. The homeland asserts a magnetic attraction to a certain mentality. One can impoverish this concept with hypocrisy, but Higher Communication makes it possible to enrich the earthly homeland with expanded consciousness. It is not only the earthly homeland that attracts a person, it is only as a starting point for Infinity. Is it possible to humiliate the earthly homeland by comparison with Infinity? On the contrary, every exaltation will be worthy of the heart of the Leader.

14. The desire for help is the adornment of the Leader. How many opportunities arise from this noble desire. Many desires are reborn into passion, but the desire for help is the root of selflessness.

15. The people of labor joy have the right to expect a fair assessment of labor from the Leader. The leader must show a worthy understanding of labor as a core value. The leader must recognize the phenomenon of true merit, both mental, creative and muscular. Joy should be a consequence of work. A variety of educational shows and interviews will be a calming and clear guidance. It can be understood that the people of labor joy do not know retired employees. Only a case of illness or decrepitude provides social content. But there can be no talk of retirement when strength is not exhausted, for work is joy. It is impossible to deprive people of work, but one should choose for them work that corresponds to their nature. This will require a Council of educated scientists who, beyond superstition and prejudice, can judge enlightenedly. The Leader elects that Council, and let it be his responsibility to prevent the ignoramuses and servants of darkness. It is inconceivable that labor and cooperation should end up in ignorant hands and in the midst of self-interest. Labor is a measure of the quality of consciousness. Work must lead consciousness to improvement, then work will be the banner of Ascension and will bring joy and health. Thus, the Leader, first of all, is the patron of work and he himself knows how to rejoice in work.

17. Miracles live. It is precisely the knowledge of miracles that makes life worth living. Many ready-made combinations are broken by stupid denial and shameful blindness of consciousness.

18. Equality of genders and tribes is one of the foundations of the state. The leader must accept full responsibility for upholding these principles. No remnants should interfere with what is confirmed by Nature itself.

19. The speed of legal proceedings will invigorate the population. The leader must accept responsibility so that justice is delivered without delay. Judges must pass the test not in knowledge of formulas, but also from the point of view of knowledge of the human heart. Various experts may be involved, but the judge himself must have a sufficiently enlightened mind. The Leader himself must check the consciousness of the judges. Justice is a manifestation of the nobility of the state.

20. No one should know the complete distribution of the Leader's day, for the population can wait for him hourly to provide help and encouragement. No one will refuse to accept the Leader at dawn or midnight. Also, the means of transportation themselves are chosen by the Leader unexpectedly, and the accompanying persons and clothing are approved by the Leader.

21. The leader cares not only about the physical health of the people, but he guards the spiritual fortress. He understands the need for freedom of spiritual belief. He gathers Councils of wise persons so that spiritual freedom is not violated, for such freedom is the wings of the people.

22. Banknotes remain of two types. Some for foreign conversion and others for domestic. Such internal marks or certificates of cooperatives greatly contribute to the development of domestic industry. They also help with the exchange of goods and handicrafts. The number of such signs is not limited and is determined by the country of production. Thus, each resident of the Power can have three sources of income: the first is a small amount of international currency, which can be increased in connection with special tasks approved by the state; the second - from internal evidence provided by labor; the third - from the exchange of various goods and products.

23. The education of peoples must begin with the primary education of children, from as early an age as possible. The earlier the better. Believe me, brain overwork occurs only from clumsiness. Every mother, approaching the cradle of her child, will say the first formula of education - you can do anything.

That education will be the best, which can magnify the attractiveness of the good. At the same time, there is no need to mutilate beautiful images, as if in the name of childish misunderstanding. Don't humiliate children! Remember firmly that true science is appealing, concise, accurate and beautiful. It is necessary that families have at least a rudimentary understanding of education. After seven years, much has already been lost. Usually after three years the body is full of perceptions. The driver’s hand, already at the first step, should pay attention and point to distant worlds. A young eye should sense infinity. It is the eye that must get used to admitting Infinity.

It is also necessary that the word expresses the exact thought. Lies, rudeness and ridicule are expelled. Betrayal, even in its infancy, is unacceptable. Working “like the big guys” is encouraged. Only consciousness up to three years old can easily accommodate cooperation. How wrong it is to think that a child should be given his things, because the child will easily understand how things can be common.

The consciousness “I can do anything” is not boasting, but only awareness of the apparatus. The most wretched can find a wire to Infinity, for each work, in its own quality, opens the gates.

24. Education in lower and secondary schools should be the same for both sexes. You cannot force a specialty on a child when he cannot yet find his abilities. High school is enough to divide the program by talent. In this way, it is possible to unite the education of those who can immediately discover their inclinations.

Give children the opportunity to think. Also deepen the course in elementary schools. This is advice for immediate use.

26. All obsolete items must be removed. Make ancient languages ​​selected. Of course, the program changes based on population. But the study of general linguistics should be introduced. Particularly develop visual learning, natural sciences, geography, applied knowledge and crafts. Spiritual conversations are introduced, in the spirit of various religions, depending on the composition of the students. The distinction between a village and a city gymnasium is being destroyed. One primary school for all, one secondary school for all and one university for all.

Pay special attention to elementary schools. In primary school, learning is shared until the age of ten. Average - from 10 to 16 years, but, of course, depends on abilities.

Those entering the Academy are exempt from military service, because they are registered in the service; the rest go to serve.

Participation of women in urban agriculture.

27. To direct consciousness into the future is the task of a true school. Nobody wants to understand that the transfer of consciousness into the future is the formation of a carrier magnet. But the point is that consciousness must be fully directed into the future. Many people believe that it is possible to sometimes think about the future and then wallow in the past again. It is necessary not to devote individual thoughts to the future, but to tune the essence of consciousness in the key of the future. You cannot force yourself to such a transformation; you can only achieve it by loving the future. The country of labor joy, improving the quality of work, can naturally be drawn into the future. The duty of the Leader is to direct the people into the future.

28. Evolutionary world processes should be presented in a very exciting way in schools. The homeland emerges from world processes and should occupy a completely conditioned place and meaning. Everyone should know the true value of their fatherland, but it should not be a growing tree in the desert, it has its own cooperation with many nations. Also, the belief about the Supreme Justice will come from knowledge of reality. Let the processes of the world find living interpreters. The Leader himself must ensure that these great paths of nations are not distorted for the sake of ignorance.

29. Each association can take place only on a cooperative basis. One has only to allow an element of conquest, suppression and humiliation, and sooner or later these disgusting shadows will turn into destructive monsters. Therefore, every violence cannot be included in the construction of a stronghold. One can find the power of joy in collaboration, but such collaboration requires the art of thinking.

Who distributes the forces for productive labor? Only those who know how to imagine useful cooperation. He should be able to imagine such a general work, but, as you know, imagination needs to be educated. The task of every school is to open a grounded imagination.

30. Every strike movement is unacceptable as a destruction of production. Only under very crude forms of government can such madness occur. Humanity is at a sufficient stage of intelligence to understand the resolution of controversial issues through reasonable deliberations. Every destructive condition must be quickly exposed. In a state of hostility there can be no talk of cooperation. Intelligent forces must unite to avoid the danger of disaster. If spiritual understanding were added to mechanical discoveries, then balance could be achieved.

31. In addition to cooperatives, there are fraternities for cultural communication. Not many people will understand where the border between a business cooperative and a cultural fraternity is. But every school, every institution can unite a circle of people who are capable of striving for spiritual improvement. We need to promote unity in every possible way. Entire cadres of mobile mentors should visit such brotherhoods and bring the joy of knowledge. The government encourages the education of mentors. They may be various specialists, but when vacation time comes, they devote part of their time to visiting fraternities. It is very important that mentors have different specialties, only then can they give a variety of interpretations about attractive discoveries and achievements in various industries.

Children especially need to be encouraged in their aspirations to improve their lives. Prizes can be given to young inventors, but they should not be limited only to the mechanical part of life. The same improvements can happen everywhere, even in very elevated areas - this is how the minds of the people will come out of their sleep. But every improvement is positive in its essence. Only through continuous, exciting movement can people's prosperity be achieved.

32. How different the building plans are. We once said – give everything. Let's go further and say: take everything, but don't consider it yours.

A simple mind will understand how impossible it is to take earthly things with you. But they were created with the participation of the spirit, and therefore should not be neglected. How can you pass by the flowers of nature? But the creations of the spirit are also the flowers of humanity. If their smell and color are imperfect, then you should regret it.

33. It is good to understand owning things without a sense of ownership. It’s good to have things to take care of them and even fill them with a good aura with the thought of passing them on to others. The manifestation of the hand of creativity lives in the house without attachment to property and, improved, will carry joy further. And the sign of the giving hand will remain continuously, this is the justification of things. Understanding this will solve the most difficult question. I speak for the world, for the main destruction of the world is from attachment to non-existent property. To tell this to the people means to bring out the fear of old age.

The phenomenon of ownership without property will open the way for everyone without conditional inheritance. He who can improve, owns it. This applies to land, forests, and waters. All achievements of mechanics and various types of inventions are subject to the same. It is easy to imagine how folk art will work, especially knowing that only the spirit provides the best solution. Questions will reach out to the hearth of the spirit - what is best? And the swords of the spirit will strike down wickedness. Truly, it pays to do better. The law is simple, like everything in the spirit.

34. When a difficulty arises with an inheritance, you can say: the wills have been revoked, but you can leave the state a wish that the use of a certain object be transferred to a certain person for a trial period of three years. In this way, the inheritance will be turned into cooperation of the worthy. You can instruct special elected officials to monitor the quality of work. It is useful to deepen the awareness of constant testing, because the people do not yet know how to work with the consciousness of testing. Meanwhile, all the substances of the world are mutually tested. So we need to understand improvement by testing.

35. The desire for true cooperation lies at the heart of evolution. The cooperative system is the only salvation. The path of ignorance can only be destroyed by awakening creativity. Let its forms even be monstrous. Let them make the sun out of splinters in the backyard, but an ebullient stream will break through the walls of matter. New discoveries will intensify collecting. Instead of the stock exchange game, let there be aspirations of finding, supported by cooperatives.

36. Don't live on income from money. This is unclean profit. Better transfer of goods in the exchange of things, in extreme cases, can be allowed in exchange for money that is directly circulated.

Criminal speculation must be pursued relentlessly, because the Earth is sick with speculation. Each era has its own disease - now the Earth is sick with speculation. One should not think that humanity has always been susceptible to this disease. But it is a sign of a significant change, because it cannot go away gradually, and a paroxysm of evolution is needed to break the infection.

37. Monetary alms must be destroyed. Help with work or things. There should be no unemployed when the people follow the path of the spirit. Our business is to show the benefit of perfection not for the Invisible World, but for ourselves.

38. The main misunderstanding will be that work is rest. Many activities will have to be cancelled. The main thing is to understand that works of science and art are education, but not entertainment. A number of entertainments should be destroyed as a breeding ground for vulgarity. The education front must clear out the dens of beer-drinking fools. Also the phenomenon of swearing should find stricter punishment. Also, the phenomenon of narrow specialization should be condemned.

39. Let us honor the Leader with all understanding. Let us reveal the affirmation of the Leader, who maintains constant fire in success and failure. The leader carries the flame of unquenchable feat. The teaching of life is not interrupted by either fatigue or grief. The heart of the Leader lives by the feat of the people. He has no fear and there is no word “afraid” in his vocabulary. By his example, he brightly lights the light and creates the consciousness of the people.

The Leader's hands know no rest. The Leader's head supports the weight of affairs. The Leader's mind seeks firmness of decisions. The power of experience breaks the weakness of others. At the limit of damage it fills with new possibilities. He builds strongholds on the line of retreat. Unfurls the Banner in front of the enemy's eyes. Calls the day of fatigue a day of rest. Allows for the phenomenon of misunderstanding, like litter on the doorstep. Secrets can be hidden in the folds of work clothes. A miracle for the Leader is only a trace of a horseshoe. For a Leader, determination is just lunch!

40. The Leader places four stones as the basis for his actions. The first is veneration of the Hierarchy. The second is the consciousness of Unity. The third is the consciousness of Commensurability. The fourth is the application of the canon “by your Lord.”

41. The discipline of freedom distinguishes the Leader. Not only the spirit is disciplined, but also the quality of external actions. It is not the Leader’s custom to be too sad. It is not the Leader’s custom to count people too broadly. It is not the Leader’s custom to wait too much. You need to be able to replace a complex plan with a simpler one, never the other way around. For opponents act from simple to complex.

42. You need to show discipline of spirit, without it you will not be able to become free. For a slave it will be a prison, for a free one it will be a beautiful and healing garden.

He who understands the discipline of the spirit will understand the direction of the fire and will reach the cooperation of the Common Good. The end of the path can be illuminated by a thousand lights of the Common Good.

43. A clear, concise order is difficult, but it is stronger than a magic wand. A statement is easier, but an order is like an unexpected column of flame from a volcano. A concentrated sense of personal responsibility lies in the order. The indication of the inexhaustibility of force lies in the order. The aspiration of the Cosmos is revealed in the fury of the order, like a crushing wave. Wipe away your tears of kindness, we need sparks of indignation of the spirit!

What a dam regrets make, but wings grow at the end of the sword!

44. Please note that decrees are prepared in advance and thus can enter the consciousness of the executors. Therefore, without cooperation, an order is like an arrow flying against the wind. Even the surprise of an order must be foreseen. Then the surprise will turn into experienced tension.

A leader knows how to inspire cooperation not only in actions, but also in thinking. Only then can the employee be released at a distance. The phenomenon of instructions obliges one to act independently. The stream will carry those who strive.

45. You can learn how to encourage spiritual people. True, they do feats of spirit not for the sake of encouragement, but still they also need it and the maintenance of spiritual direction. Every ruler must know not only the power of censure, but also must understand the benefit of encouragement, the latter is more difficult. But what Grace comes when the ruler knows what someone needs for the “Lotus” to bloom. You can have many hermits, but their good tension will not give the highest measure of energy if the surrounding forces are hostile. Therefore, the heart should be strengthened in the desire to understand the best.

46. The Leader is bad, hiding the true danger. It can be overcome only with complete knowledge.

This is how a Leader should act without fear and, if possible, on his own. The phenomenon of personal responsibility is correct. Not miracles, not quotes, but a statement backed by personal example. Even a mistake in daring is easier to correct than the stoop of mumbling! Precious is action that does not require apparatus or assistants! He who discovers a precious formula cannot shout it out the window, for the harm will cover the best benefit.

Precisely, like a closed vessel, like an unplundered mountain, like a bow tense with an arrow - this is how the Leader stands. And that the drink of the vessel is fiery, and that the mountain is inexhaustible and the arrow is deadly - this is how it works. For who would dare to say that difficulty is not the fastest achievement! The milk rivers will turn sour, and the jelly banks will be uncomfortable for sitting. So, the Leader hastens in the chain mail of personal responsibility. Success is only where complete courage is shown. Minor doubts will give birth to slavish timidity.

47. The doctor anticipates the course of the disease, and you take the proposed measures. The astronomer anticipates a solar eclipse, and you stock up on the necessary lighting. Social psychologist foresees the course of events, then you cry - prophet! - and in horror you hide in the most fetid corners. Of course, you do this as if to save scientific methods, but in essence hypocrisy and fear prevent you from thinking where there is more real knowledge - in the short-sighted judgment of a doctor crawling along the outer covers, or in the far-sightedness and accuracy of a social seer who combined experience with immutability? Remember your social prophets who outlined the events of mankind for centuries to come. You don't call them mystics or hypocrites. Together with us, you call them far-sighted psychologists. We will agree with you on this definition and stop. By the way, let us remember that the condemned word “prophet” means “predictor.” The True Leader always predicts the course of events, which means that this concept is no less real than medicine and astronomy.

48. Observe seismic curve readings. They are not located along the equator, and not along the meridian, but they give their own curve. Sometimes the increased activity of shocks and shifts coincides with the tension of the so-called sunspots - the result is tension solar system. You don’t need to be a prophet to understand that brain activity will be especially intense during these periods.

Social aspirations also have their own distribution curve. You need to be careful not to interrupt this sequence of events. The shift cracks are the same both in the soil and in the people's aspirations. The People's Leader must be on the crest of all new horizons. New world should show the sensitivity of the best seismograph.

If anyone complicates the procession of nations, he may receive a crown of ignorance. It is impossible to justify ignorance of the laws, and it is also indecent for the driver to change direction in the opposite direction. No one can lead the personal, but by comparing the values ​​of the common good, he can choose the fastest path. We must not waste any opportunity.

It seems that a simple, boring truth has been spoken, but no one accepts it, and the plan of action is prepared in the darkness of the room, and not on the watchtower. You need to observe not as you want, but as it really is.

49. The builder must know how to load the pillars of the house. From incommensurability comes destruction, blasphemy, lies, betrayal and all ugly phenomena.

How can there be a building where the properties of a giant are attributed to a flea? where they seek the poker more than the Lord; where is the whirlwind compared to the flight of a mosquito?

The conditions of construction - complete commensurability of thought and expression - are a stronghold of the truth of beauty. It is easy to practice life without reticence and exaggeration.

The Leader closely monitors his employees so that their expression corresponds to their meaning. Only in this way can different beings cooperate.

Beauty will be the best judgement, for it is not beautiful to say, “I will let a giant into a casket” or “an eagle soars like a chicken”!

How often are they destroyed? the best devices incommensurability, which can be easily avoided with little attention.

50. What suffers the most? Commensurability. If commensurability is not observed, determination is destroyed. The Leader's determination to the last line. Not the kind of determination that comes conveniently and corresponds to habits. Not the kind of determination that is good for the body. The Leader's determination is protected by the limit of spirit. Therefore, it is impossible to block the Leader’s aspiration. Builders and gatherers walk with this determination.

51. Next to commensurability, one must understand necessity. So last test there will be a test of necessity, in other words, each subject must say what he considers most necessary. The quality of his immediate response will measure his consciousness.

They will ask: “Where to begin each action?” - From the most necessary, for every moment has its own necessity, and this is called the justice of action.

That’s why a dashing horse even senses with the end of its hoof which stone to step on first. This is how one feels the order of mobility, commensurability and necessity.

52. The degree of usefulness may vary. After all, the degrees of usefulness are equal to the number of leaves on the tree.

53. It is necessary to distinguish between things that are repeatable and things that are not repeatable. You can put aside everyday things, but the calls of deadlines must be caught without delay. It can be argued that the moment of cosmic possibility is irreplaceable. There are foods that can only be digested in a certain order. And the hunter does not go hunting out of idleness.

54. Feat is not refusal, but there is containment and movement, so when I say “refused,” you need to understand “contained.” It is impossible to imagine the essence of refusal, because prohibition nests nearby, but containment shows conscious containment.

When the Leader has embraced the greatness of building the future, then nothing can stop the growth of the spirit.

Loyalty is a quality of spirit high voltage, and the phenomenon of containment makes a true feat a joyful reception. This is how the feat can develop, because the bright reception leads to the following.

Rush into the future past the soot of the present. Know that you must not destroy, but muster the best patience.

55. You have to be able to get around the standard of living. The best people ahead of the world, weighed down by clouds. Wanting to get to New Country must not only discard all prejudices, but also enter a new path.

The affirmation of life must be based on the application of local conditions. If there are a hundred languages ​​somewhere, you need to understand a hundred psychologies. One expression for everyone is like a column of a government house. Unity in diversity results in harvest.

56. It happens that the most undoubted plan can be subject to difficulties. They will ask: “How can we find a solution without spending too much energy?” There may be a change in the essence of the plan, or in size, or in location. Changing the plan is essentially tantamount to betrayal. Cutting a plan down to size is like myopia. The Leader's decision will be to change the place so that the new foundations will further deepen the basic meaning. The basic principle of fighting and dying is not approved. It will be more courageous not to lose strength and win. But for this you need all the understanding of the correctness of aspiration, all the steadfastness of tension.

How lucky it is if you can find a new place that deepens the potential of the previous one. The leader does not limit the plan to one decision of the place - the essence of the plan is important.

57. About the immutability and mobility of the plan. These conditions are especially difficult to combine, although their boundaries are clearly indicated by understanding the ray of solar consciousness. To carry out a plan in life, you need to be ready for mobility every hour.

Apparent variability is nothing more than the vibration of life. The paths to the milestones of immutability breathe and wave like waves.

Having approved the plan, the Leader's being is already ready for the shortest path. Mobility can only be born from the consciousness of the immutability of the plan.

58. On the incommensurability of deadlines. Small streams of events are given next to the ocean wave. Is it possible to mix a stream with the ocean? But on Earth they always rush to confuse the personal with the world. The hand feels the thickness of the fabric, so the spirit must distinguish the depth of events.

The leader should not be carried away by the apparent magnitude of the event, because between the main nodes there may be multi-colored ghosts and streams may temporarily change their course. The phenomenon of a nodal wave ascends instantly; before each wave the boat freezes. The most sensitive boat will tremble the most, for the dust of the explosion fills the atmosphere. Therefore, the commensurability of timing and events should not be forgotten.

The luck of acceleration, just like deceleration, comes in waves. Having noticed an acceleration wave, you need to throw as many grains as possible into it.

59. During construction, the Leader ensures that self-interest is not revealed under the guise of fulfilling covenants. The destruction of creative gains follows dark self-interest. I will say - this worm is too characteristic of the ignorance of mankind. Moreover, you need to know the reason for its origin. The most significant reason will be advantage. We must destroy this harmful ghost with all our might. Cooperation is, above all, about equality. Err on the side of equality and you'll immediately run into a disastrous advantage. The phenomenon of inequality creates a see-saw. A greater rise in one only creates a greater rise in the other. The only way to get rid of the loosening of the pillars is equality.

There are cynics who say - let them swing, especially the energy in space. A remark that is not without meaning, but it is precisely the matter of construction that is so in need of care that the phenomenon of true economy of forces must be allowed. The most economical principle is equality; it destroys advantage and self-interest.

60. True heat-color is true selflessness, but it must be manifested not only by actions, but precisely in consciousness. Actions, like wandering shadows, are reflections, and the whirlwind of trembling conventions conceals the meaning of actions. Is it possible to judge an action without cause and effect? Then the savior will turn out to be an insulter and the one who gave will appear to be a miser. But it is not easy to establish the consciousness of selflessness; individuality is inevitable. And the combination of selflessness can only occur with a clear awareness of the future. Selflessness is not built on the experience of the past. Only a real sense of the future can form an internal judgment about the limit of the possible.

61. Qualities of action. If the action is small, then it needs the help of various man-made things. When an action becomes great, it does not need earthly objects. This is the first touchstone of action.

The second quality of action is its mobility. Like the whirlwind of primordial matter, true action must tremble with possibilities. Only flight can complete a luminous, manifested thought.

The third quality of an action is its surprise. Every action that amazed the minds was the result of an unexpected way of thinking.

The fourth quality of action is its elusiveness. Only this quality protects the action from harmful attacks.

The fifth quality of action is its persuasiveness. Just as every lightning bolt connects our consciousness with the Cosmos, so every action should strike like the flash of a sword.

The sixth quality of an action is its legality. Only awareness of the foundations of the evolution of the world will move the action into immutability.

The seventh quality of action is its pure sending. By doing this you can move heavy objects without getting tired. It is necessary to understand the action of the body and the spirit equally, because after all that has been said, the action of thought is still not assessed.

62. Qualities of expectation. The highest expectation is the expectation of the evolution of the World. Normal expectations are divided into dark, sleepy and watchful. The chaos of the dark ones only brings harm to space. Sleepy expectations are like smoldering coals. Vigilant expectations show a readiness to accept something new at every hour.

The internal quality of expectation is its increase. What better way to combine this feature than with the evolution of worlds? Such an expectation should permeate our entire life. We must fill our work with the thrill of action, for this is the best and most beautiful combination.

Entering the house of the restless, say - expect the evolution of the World!

63. We appreciate the thought that gave rise to the decision. The solution is assessed by the quality of its applicability. Applicability is judged by the knowledge of the spirit, then an action is obtained that can be rejoiced at. He who rejoices believes. Even faith must be justified.

The leader thinks well and applies firmly. If you are accused of prudence, this will not be rejected, for prudence is the opposite of madness, and madness is opposite to the knowledge of the spirit. And no matter what circle we assign to ourselves, we will still return to the great knowledge of the spirit.

64. It is not words, but the filling of space that pushes the Leader into an immutable order. Destroying fear will help in difficult times. The consciousness of loneliness is especially difficult to overcome. In wise tales, one-man battle is often mentioned. A fighter is a scout, he is an adviser, he is a decider, he is a hero. Note that this word was almost banished from the vocabulary of the old world. The hero becomes unacceptable in the lives of little hearts. As a stranger, he could feel ashamed in the midst of prudence. Know how to be where the heroes are. The world will be shocked by the reality of heroism.

Let children call themselves heroes and apply the quality of wonderful people to themselves. Let them be given books of clear presentation, where the shape of labor and will will be outlined without conciliatory blurring. Even for medical purposes, this cheerful call of life is indispensable. Such material must be provided without delay. To do this, take care of the few who can give.

65. One should beware of those who have no time. False busyness, first of all, indicates an inability to use the treasure of time and space. Such people can only perform primary forms of work. It is impossible to attract them to creation. We have already talked about deadline liars who steal other people’s time, now let’s talk about petty lazy people and weak-minded people who block the path of life. They are busy, like a vessel filled with pepper, they are always bitter from work. They are as important as turkeys, because by counting the quantities of the stench of smoking, they represent the place of work for intoxication. Hundreds of excuses have been invented to fill the cracks of rotten work. They will not find time for the most urgent. In their stupidity, they are ready to become impudent and deny their very existence. They are as fruitless as thieves of other people's time.

We know many working people who will find an hour for the most important things; they don't feel like they're busy. He who is not stingy with his work will receive generously. This quality of containing labor is necessary for expanding consciousness. Is it possible to replace the joy of growing consciousness with anything?

66. Non-resistance is like a bottle of incense that has been open for a long time, but creative patience is like old wine that has been sealed.

The leader monitors the intensity of creativity; in every social structure, the correct structure is where diverse creativity takes wing. If creativity is difficult, this is a sure sign of an error in construction. These bugs should not be allowed to nest. Call the masons, rebuild the walls until the song sounds freely.

The principle of freedom of approach, freedom of service and work must be protected. The manifestation of the burden of the beginning serves only as a sign of imperfection. The affirmation of the manifestation of wisdom will be in the solid milestones surrounding the intended figure of knowledge.

Opening the right door, we'll give you the right direction.

67. In the life of every collaboration there is a situation when development in one direction can harm the investigation. Then the Leader must find a way of new tasks, broad enough to absorb friction. Let's not call friction competition or worse names. In dangerous straits, ships move alone, and in developing cooperation there may be a need to separate the movement of participants. Instead of possible harm, mastery of new areas will result. When muscles swell, know how to release energy. If you do not prevent crowded traffic, then discord is guaranteed.

The phenomenon of diversity of tasks is necessary, otherwise the forces of growing consciousness will collide. It is up to the Leader not to turn useful forces into a jar of scorpions. Fortunately, there are so many immediate tasks that it is not difficult to direct energy to urgent conquest. Strengthening is often confused with antagonism. Often, instead of calmly seizing opportunities, the embers of hatred are fanned. The leader should not miss this psychological moment and give a new task on time. Complications can be avoided by guaranteeing victory by the most practical methods. The teaching of reality must correspond to the volume of complexity of the course of evolution. The emergence of new world structures must be firmly protected.

68. You can accustom your consciousness to a correct understanding of the ownership of surrounding things. The good is in consciousness - nothing belongs to me, but to us, and we are scattered throughout the planet. Is it possible to appropriate to oneself the free primary matter that saturates every object? Be able to sense the need for presence in every subject. They often agree to recognize matter in the distant ether, but they consider it absurd to recognize matter in processed and everyday objects. Meanwhile, the recognition of high matter in every object raises the understanding of all the details of life.
