Why do we have crises and changes?
A person is born on Earth in order to develop spiritually, physically, morally, and the task of the universe is to bring people to a higher path of development. And through what should a person learn? Through crises, changes and some changes.
But why then does each of us have different negative or pleasant events? Yes, because each individual is already born with certain skills and blocks.
But even during life, a person can acquire some kind of “virus”, which then will need to be worked out so that it does not interfere with life. For example, a child in childhood, saw some terrible event, with time he may have already forgotten about it, but the subconscious mind remembers it. And this event turns into a block that does not give rest throughout life. In general, what is inside a person is displayed outside, in the form of problems, events, illnesses, etc.
But not everything is so sad, we are still not robots and we people have the opportunity to plan, change and shape our lives.
All people want to know their future, but some of us are self-confident and know what to do when planning our lives, while others are confused in their path and do not understand how to develop further. But I also want to note that even strong and self-confident people have periods when they need advice or the temptation to look into the future.
And during such changes, many of us feel the desire to turn to a fortuneteller, esotericist or psychologist.
The real correct help of these specialists lies in bringing fears, blocks and programs to the surface of a person’s consciousness, and also in their awareness - this is called working out a problem or task.
I want to immediately separate psychologists and esotericists (magicians, fortune-tellers, astrologers, numerologists, etc.). Although real esotericists must be psychologists.
Psychologist(other Greek ψυχή - soul; λόγος - knowledge) is a specialist who studies the manifestations, methods and forms of organization of mental phenomena of a person in various fields of human activity to solve research and applied problems, as well as to provide psychological assistance, support and guidance.
The psychologist listens to the patient's problems and evaluates the situation, how well the person is functioning emotionally, mentally and intellectually. Then it determines the root cause of the problem, as well as the emotions and feelings that the patient is experiencing. Then smoothly guides the thought processes that the patient independently uses to effectively solve their problems.
Esotericism is one of the areas of human knowledge about the secret essence of the Universe and man, as well as a synchronous process that occurs in the human soul and throughout the World. This is hidden and secret knowledge collected by different peoples over the centuries. This is the knowledge of oneself and the mysteries of the surrounding world.
Some esotericists have very open clairvoyance and this cannot be denied. But the percentage of these people is small and they do not always declare themselves, they do not need it, they go through life as spiritual teachers, they are servants of the world and all of humanity.
We mainly meet esotericists on the Internet, word of mouth, books, etc. Undoubtedly, many of them can help people. But we need to understand that these are people like everyone else, they just began to develop themselves and solve their problems through esoteric knowledge and know a little more than an ordinary, simple person.
And this is what experience they got, where and how they studied, how they treat people in general, whether they love life and whether they really want to help a person or earn money and show their superiority over others - characterizes the work of the master. Therefore, be very careful about going to any esoteric or psychologist.
The fact is that incompetent masters do not bring the problem to the surface, but rather strengthen it even more in the subconscious. And the person unconsciously again affirms in his block.
When we formulate a desire or ask a question, our brain starts to slow us down: “Maybe not time? Or maybe it won't work? And maybe later? This is where it is necessary to determine this excitation in the cortex of the head, that is, what prevents you from reaching the goal.
When we come to fortune-tellers, we consider them an authority and we begin to produce adrenaline. And against its background there is any record, both positive and negative. Good fortune-tellers never talk about bad things. It has already been established that everything spoken will surely come true. It's good if they predict positive. But strangely enough, a person remembers the bad more than the good.
For example, if a fortuneteller predicts a divorce for a woman who decides to tell fortunes about her relationship with her husband, then the client will not even try to maintain a trusting relationship with her husband, because all her thoughts will be occupied by the future divorce process and the arrangement of her life after parting.
Why does the church forbid divination? Yes, because faith in oneself, in God is lost. A person transfers his problems to magicians and does not solve anything himself. But we have a choice in the development of our tasks, and how to implement our plans.
A person who sincerely believed what he heard begins to constantly think about it. He finds himself in a network from which it is impossible to get out. He sees danger in everything, he is paralyzed by fear. As Jesus commanded, "...according to your faith, be it unto you."
At one time, I went through many fortune-tellers, sorcerers, magicians and clairvoyants. And then one day, when I was in a big crisis, a “girlfriend”, a clairvoyant and a Reiki master, predicted this to me that I had to go to a psychologist, and then work in a monastery in order to get out of an even greater crisis than before divination. These events prompted me to study psychology and astropsychology. And I came to the conclusion that only astrology can provide answers to many questions. This science speaks of the cyclicity and influence of stars on the earth, and hence on people.
Astrology made me understand what types of fortune tellers are. Suppose, in the horoscope, the fortuneteller has an aspect of Pluto with personal planets, then she can manipulate the client, put him on more trips to her. Or there is pride in the horoscope (the struck Sun or Saturn) - the esoteric will rise above his clients, showing his greatness. Or how much the fortune-teller is tied to money, we look at Venus, the second house, etc.
Undoubtedly, there is clairvoyance, intuition and visions, and some people are born with these abilities, they also know how to use them correctly, but these seers are few, only 5% on Earth.
But the average fortuneteller can make mistakes, due to the fact that she does not always have a channel with the Universe open, or she is a bad psychologist, or maybe she wants to establish herself at the expense of her clients, etc.
We no longer live in the Middle Ages, so esotericism must be considered together with science.
Magic is a tradition passed down from generation to generation. Ivan Mikhailovich Sechenov convincingly proved that 90 percent of the cells of the human brain control the muscles of the body, and only 10 percent remains directly for intellectual activity. He said that any of our thoughts ends with a micromuscular movement - this is what the fortuneteller catches.
N.P. Bekhtereva in her works reasonably and clearly showed that in women, called witches, certain areas of the brain work more actively. This means that the psycho-lipton field around such a woman is more influential than around the others.
Natalya Bekhtereva also found an explanation for the phenomenon of so-called "prophetic" dreams, which sometimes force a person to find the right solution to a problem in a dream, just as the table of periodic elements appeared to Mendeleev in a dream. According to Natalya Petrovna, our brain collects information, analyzes it, makes forecasts and, finally, gives us one of the possible scenarios.
Five hundred years ago scientists didn't go to fortune tellers. And now they don't go. And they will never go.
One scientist went to a fortune-teller and asked:
- How long do I have to live, huh?
“Twenty-seven years,” said the fortune teller.
- Ha-ha-ha! the scientist laughed. - Uneducated old woman! Are you so sure?!
- Sure. Because you have a life line running right here between...
- Then let's argue! interrupted the scientist. - Are you afraid?
- Not afraid!
And they bet fifteen kicks.
For the sake of science, the scientist was ready for anything. He took out a gun and shot himself.
Then the fortuneteller realized that science predicts the future more correctly. And I started studying biology. And I learned what photosynthesis is. This is when the sun shines, the leaves on the trees turn green from the sun's rays.
- Wow! - the fortuneteller was surprised. - The leaves turn green from sunlight, it turns out.
If you decide to go to a fortuneteller, first find out the statistics of opinions about her. But if you have already come to her and asked a question, then listen to the prediction without emotions, treat your campaign as one of the solutions to your problem. Do not treat the fortuneteller as God is the same person with his own problems.
And remember, a real esoteric will never give an accurate verdict, especially a bad one, but will try to decide together with you how to get out of a difficult situation.
The most important thing is to understand that you decide your fate, and not some kind of fortune-teller, magician, astrologer, etc.
Why do you think some people have a tendency to go to fortune-tellers, to believe all sorts of soothsayers, clairvoyants and magicians?
Most often, the idea of going to a fortuneteller arises when you need to solve a painful problem, find a partner, improve relationships ... But is it worth solving the problem in this way? Before you go to a fortune teller, ask yourself: “Why do I need this?” Maybe you just need someone who will help you tune in to a certain result and believe that what you want will definitely happen? As you know, it is difficult for a person to believe in himself and his strengths. But how often do fortunetellers' clients hear good prophecies? After all, they go to a fortuneteller with the hope of hearing something good, and she tells them about impending troubles and problems. Let's see why.
Any fortune-telling, predictions, horoscopes and messages of magicians and clairvoyants are based on the principle of faith. If a person believes in what he heard, he will constantly “scroll” it in his head and the prediction will come true. But how can a fortuneteller know what will happen to you? And she doesn't know it! You understand that prediction or divination always concerns the future. And the future cannot be checked in advance. The predicted event may or may not occur. Therefore, the fortuneteller can say anything!
Before you go to a fortuneteller, think about the principle of her work. First, she tries to take advantage of your gullibility to understand what you want to hear from her. Secondly, she tries to find out how capable you are of non-critical perception of new information. And then the “performance” begins: at the beginning of the session, you will be told that the fortuneteller tells only the truth, no matter how terrible this truth is. Then you will hear common phrases that will suit everyone (!) Without exception: "I see that you are a good person", "long road ahead of you", "you will meet a person who will love you" etc. It is these generalizations that make what the fortuneteller says look like the truth! After all, if you say that you like to eat delicious food and do not like bad weather, then you will agree with the veracity of what was said. Only for you "good food" means kebab or dumplings, for someone else - squid and oysters, and for the third - chocolate cake. And "bad weather" for someone it means rain, for someone it means gusty wind, and for someone it means heat.
After general phrases, the fortuneteller will make a prediction, which, as you can guess, she tells everyone: "A threat hangs over you..." It is this phrase that is the most important, otherwise the client does not need to come again (and bring money "for the removal of damage and the evil eye", "love-lapel" And so on). All that is required of a fortune teller is to convincingly promise that she will be able to save you from all impending troubles. And you, if you believe, will use her services many more times and spend a lot of money on these services.
From a conversation with Lida (all names have been changed): “I went to another fortune teller. She guessed on beans and coffee grounds - complete nonsense, nothing came true! Although the fortuneteller said that you just need to come again to tell fortunes, they say, the moment now is probably not the right one..
That is, fortune-telling and similar services are a business based on fraud. Some people want to solve their problems, or they are simply overcome by curiosity: they need someone to tell them what the future holds for them. Others have made divination their trade and earn money in this way. Moreover, the money is given completely voluntarily. That is, demand creates supply.
Why do people believe in magic and prophecy? They believe that they will be able to insure themselves in case of trouble, because they will know in advance what events will happen to them in the future. But this is self-deception - it is impossible to know the future in advance.
Probably, now you are thinking: “How then is it that the predictions do come true?” This is also understandable. The prediction always concerns the future and theoretically can come true. If the predicted event happens, then the fortuneteller is considered good. Good fortune-tellers understand people and sometimes take over the functions of a psychologist - they help to believe in themselves and in the possibility of changing events for the better.
From a conversation with Nastya: “I decided to go to a clairvoyant in company with a friend, because in my personal life it didn’t work out - there was a lot of male attention, but I’m still not married. I explain my problem to the clairvoyant, and she, squinting, looks at me and says: “So you have someone ...” I say: “Yes, no, no!” And I myself think: “Who did she mean when she said that? Maybe S? Maybe M.? Or R? Or in.? Or D.? And then she says: “But you are right, he does not suit you. You have a man in your life, a good one, be kind to him. Meet you soon! True, there will be two of them (men), you will meet almost at the same time - be able to choose and keep. Listen to what your heart tells you. Be cheerful, so that your eyes sparkle, and forget to cry into the pillow. This is the scenario that happened. Now I understand how lucky I was that I heard such predictions. And looking at that time, I can say that I could have married any of those gentlemen of mine, only I was not ready for this, I found flaws in them - I didn’t need them (men). And then I met my man, and everything turned out as if by itself..
When predictions do not come true, many conclude that the fortuneteller is not very good, you need to look for another better one. In fact, it would be better to honestly answer yourself the question: “Is it worth going to fortune-tellers and paying your money for their “theater”?” Whatever your answer, you yourself decide whether to go to a fortuneteller or not, whether to believe in what she predicted or not. But be careful if you are too impressionable and cannot get rid of what you have heard or gone for a long time.
From a conversation with Alla: “A couple of years ago I went to a fortuneteller who told me that the man I have been dating for almost 3 years is not my man and we will part with him. It stuck in my head a lot, and I was very worried about it. After a while I went to another fortune teller and she told me the same thing! I was even more upset: my man and I do not quarrel, he does not cheat on me, although he is handsome and women like him. It scares me, but he thinks that I am "winding" myself in vain. Now the words of fortune-tellers constantly gnaw at me, I worry that maybe this is true and he is not "my man" ... "
In fact, fortunetellers said about separation only because Alla mentioned the handsome appearance of the man. This is the logical conclusion they assumed. In fact, Alla needs not to remember “predictions”, but to raise her self-esteem and not give her man a reason to think that she does not value herself and considers other women better and more attractive than herself. After all, it is self-doubt that can negatively affect relationships - Alla will put herself in a dependent position, and a man will need a partner with whom he is “on an equal footing”, who is pleased with herself, self-confident, who is usually in a good mood.
As you can see, if you are told about future troubles and misfortunes, you will, at best, worry and do nothing, and at worst, panic. This can lead to mental disorders and tragic cases.
A possible conclusion that you can draw from what you read might be this: if you want to go to a fortune teller to solve a problem that has arisen, weigh the pros and cons, and if you need help, contact a specialist - a psychiatrist or psychologist . A specialist, instead of making frightening prophecies, will help you understand the reasons for what is happening and find a suitable way out.
If, despite all the arguments, you still want to go to a fortune teller, then part with the idea that the fortune teller will do your work for you (“The fortune teller will bewitch, conjure, and I will sit next to you, and you won’t have to work on yourself”).
Here's what you can do:
1. Accept yourself for who you are, notice all your attractive features and qualities, make changes that will make you more satisfied with themselves. Stop meticulously looking for new flaws in yourself - this will only lead to increased dissatisfaction with yourself, fatigue and an extinct look from the realization of your own imperfection.
2. Chat with optimistically tuned people.
3. Think for yourself positive scenario: imagine that the events that you are waiting for have happened in your life - you got a new well-paid job, went on vacation, met an interesting man ... Consider that this is your prediction, in accordance with which events will unfold in the future. Remember and imagine what you have come up with for yourself more often. After all, the fortuneteller also tells you only one of the possible options that she came up with. Therefore, your option has exactly the same chances of being implemented in real life!
I am an intensive care nurse, I live in the Vladimir region, I retired, but I continue to work. What is resuscitation in the region? Frequent deaths, great responsibility on the nurse, lack of modern technology and even elementary medicines and stress, stress, stress. My health began to fail me - pressure surges, heart, I even ended up in the hospital, I myself spent a week in intensive care, but it didn’t get better. The doctors threw up their hands.
I'm not used to getting sick - work, home, part-time jobs in the neighborhood (someone to put a dropper, someone to get a massage) - all this requires constant attention and participation. Then I decided to turn to a fortune-teller grandmother, since the doctors could not do anything. I am a believer, but I hardly went to church, only on holidays. Of course, I understood that going to my grandmother was not entirely correct, but my friends convinced me: “She is 83 years old, she knows the matter, everything she says comes true.”
This woman took money from me, and then offered to open an ancient book herself, a coffin and candles were drawn on the page that fell out.
The grandmother whispered prayers and said: “You were jinxed with envy. You're a suicide bomber, you'll die soon."
She gave the charmed water with her, but said that she could no longer come, she would still die soon. And she told me not to tell anyone.
It is difficult to describe my state, I really believed that I should die. I was very frightened, cried for a long time, finally talked to my husband, children, friends. Of course, I ran to the priest - confessed, took communion, for the first time in 15 years. But the fear remained, it is very difficult to overcome it.
Why do people turn to fortune tellers: a psychologist's version
psychologist in private practice, associate professor at the Higher School of Psychology, member of the Gestalt Approach Society of Practicing Psychologists:
First reason- the need for a spiritual understanding of the world and spiritual experiences. The human soul is by nature a Christian, and therefore every person has spiritual needs, including those for the miraculous and the supernatural.
All kinds of market fortune-tellers, psychics and sorcerers just offer people to satisfy these needs and easily get what is achieved in a good way through serious, long-term spiritual practice, a certain way of life, and purification of the heart.
Of course, on the part of a person who turns to a fortune teller, this is self-deception. The same as, for example, financial pyramids like "MMM", only in the spiritual life. The hope is to get everything at once with a minimum expenditure of time and effort.
The second reason- infantile personality. If a person is not an adult, he still tries to live much like a child.
For example, a child, when asking for a toy, does not understand that parents need to earn money and work for this. He asks - they give him. And in the case of turning to fortune-tellers, the same infantile experience occurs, pampering one's inner child. Probably everyone has this need, but in infantile people it is especially strongly developed and is considered not as an element of a lifestyle, but as an important, necessary and quite natural life strategy. This is, in fact, the confidence that you can miraculously solve any problem.
And fortune-tellers turn to these structures of the psyche, which were formed in childhood and are responsible for such a naive worldview, when everything is possible right here and now. When the abilities of these sorcerers, fortune-tellers, psychics were studied in the 90s, it was revealed that among them there are a lot of those who have psychological skills at the level of, say, NLP practitioners.
Why you shouldn't be afraid
There is such an anecdote: A patient comes to the doctor and says: “Doctor, will I die?”. The doctor replies: "But how?".
Once, back in the late 90s, a boy came to me for confession, who was being escorted to the war in Chechnya. He went to a fortune-teller who told him: "They won't kill you, but they will wound you in the hand." Of course, I consoled him, but he, in principle, was glad of such a “soft” forecast.
And then I figured out what options for the development of this story could be further. If this boy had been killed, no one would have bothered to figure it out further, to go to a fortune-teller: “How is it, you said they would be wounded, but they killed him ?!”. If the boy had not been killed or even wounded, then, if anything, the fortuneteller guessed, they would not have killed him. The third option: wounded, but not in the arm. Again, I almost guessed. And if, God forbid, they really wound him in the hand, then the fortuneteller will be declared a prophetess and glorified.
That is, this is such a win-win lottery, which can be called simply gypsy. Gypsies, fortune-tellers know various methods of deception, and use them mainly for mercantile purposes. What is most terrible, these charlatans often cash in on someone else's grief. How many times have I had to bury cancer patients who, in desperation, found some medicines on the Internet, gave a lot of money for a vial of an unknown liquid, which turned out to be almost tea or herbal infusion, and thought that this would save them. And there are many such examples.
But even if you believe the fortuneteller, you do not need to be afraid. If a person really realized and mourned his sin, and not just stated the fact of its commission, his repentance will have creative power. God can change a lot, and not only in a person. We say: after confession, sins are blotted out. Indeed, the Lord, as it were, erases sins from the book of a person's life. At the same time, He erases them not only for the future, but also erases them in the past itself. And, accordingly, the consequences of sin change and disappear. That is, if a person repented, and God blotted out his past sins, then the consequences of these sins are blotted out of a person's life.
If, having repented, a person is still afraid, this indicates his insufficient faith in the fact that God forgives and protects. And then the priest must give this person some kind of reasonable, but effective penance. If there is no affirmation in faith, there is no hope in the will of God and in God, then a person needs to read the Gospel for a month, for example. After this penance, a person’s faith will be strengthened, he will understand that repentance purifies and there will be less doubt that he has broken the bonds with which he tied himself to the devil.
Nicholas B.: "Healing through prayer?"
This happened about 40 years ago. I suffered from psychological disorders, headaches and a lack of strength for life - I could not simply chop wood for the stove. I spent a lot of time and money to find out the reason, even lay in the clinic, but there was no sense.
Once my relative advised me to turn to a healer, who, according to him, cured him of his illness and generally returned him to his family to his wife and children. I agreed. It was difficult to call the house where Maria (the healer) lived, and it was difficult to call it a house, she did not live well, she did not take money for her work, but she always asked to bring bread and a bottle of vodka, which she sometimes drank right there with her guest.
Maria was a beauty - a white face, black hair, eyes huge in half a face, but at the same time a crooked back and arms twisted from polio. And the look - she could sparkle with her eyes so much that the drunken men who were noisy in the next room, catching him on themselves, suddenly fell silent and turned off at once.
She did not ask questions, looking at her, the man himself began to tell.
She treated like this: she folded her fingers, as for a cross, and began to drive over the sore spot - either in a circle, then with a cross, then draws a star of David and mutters something. She taught me to read "Let God Arise," only with a strange village accent: "and let them flee from Father Ivo ..." She strictly ordered me to read "Let God Arise" nine times a day, then everything will be fine.
The treatment helped - strength increased, he simply began to fly, his career went uphill, relations with relatives improved. But then I became lazy, I stopped reading the prayer and everything returned - my strength and health left.
Not a prayer, but a spell
Sometimes people say: "They also have icons, they read prayers." But if a person compared, he would understand that there is little in common with prayer. The words are the same, but the meaning is incantatory. We know that any prayer can be turned into a spell - it's one thing, a person reads the prayer "Our Father", turning with all his heart to the Heavenly Father, and quite another if he reads the prayer "Our Father" like a spell: for example, strictly forty times, just speaking the text.
Prayer always has a certain structure: an appeal to God, a request, repentance, glorification of God. This structure creates the spiritual content of man's appeal to God. And in the “prayers” of fortune-tellers there is no appeal, they do not beg, but force, conjure: you, archangel, stand in front, another archangel behind, and so on. Because the forces they deal with are demonic.
Elizabeth R.: Guardian Angel from Massage
My mother-in-law said, “Lisa, I have a great massage therapist. Even two. Let's go to them with Vera! Vera is my daughter, she really needs a massage.
On the threshold, the masseuse met with a statement that she was working with the blessing of the Russian Orthodox Church. Then she began to get acquainted with the problems of her daughter. The massage turned out to be acupuncture, the woman tried to teach me to transfer energy with her hand. At that moment, I already strongly doubted that I had come to the right place.
The last straw was not even a statement that the doctors who performed the caesarean section were to blame for everything (they are not guilty of anything, and I know this for sure), but some kind of energy calendar and a message that Vera does not yet have an angel -keeper. But here we are, and he will appear.
I left feeling like a squeezed lemon. In general, I quite clearly felt that my aunt “can do something”, I felt her strength. She was uncomfortable. She's probably even a good person. And probably even wants good. But I had no doubts about who she got her powers from.
"Child to grandmother!"
A person should think about who he is dealing with, with what forces. When a doctor comes to a child, the parent, if this doctor does not change shoes or does not wash his hands, will not even let him near his child. But it’s the same thing in a spiritual sense: do people really care what thoughts, what wishes, with what faith a person touches your child, what power he turns to?
As a priest, I can testify to many cases where there was a direct connection between turning to fortunetellers and subsequent problems in a person’s life. For example, one girl had some kind of inflammation on her skin, she went to her grandmother, she whispered something to her, anointed her, spoke some water, everything seemed to be gone. And then six months later, such a terrible misfortune happened to her that she almost died.
Church opinion
The Old Testament contains a direct ban on turning to fortune-tellers:
“You should not have a soothsayer, a fortuneteller, a fortune teller, a fortuneteller, a sorcerer, a charmer, summoning spirits, a magician and questioning the dead; for every one who does this is abominable before the Lord, and for these abominations the Lord thy God casteth them out from before thy face; be blameless before the Lord your God” (Deut. 18:10-13).
In conciliar decrees, the prohibitions concerning fortunetellers, soothsayers and sorcerers are also unambiguous. The church categorically forbids divination. The text of Canon 61 of the VI Ecumenical Council with interpretations by Bishop Nikodim (Milos) looks like this:
“Those who surrender themselves to magicians, or others like them, in order to learn from them that discoveries ascend to them, in accordance with the previous fatherly decrees about them, let them be subject to the rule of six years of penance. Subject to the same penance those who pronounce fortune-telling about happiness, about fate, as well as the so-called charmers, figures of protective talismans and sorcerers. Those who become stagnant in this and do not reject such pernicious pagan fictions are determined to be completely cast out of the Church, as the sacred rules command.
Sorcery, divination and similar deeds, this rule condemns as a satanic deed and punishes anyone who engages in these deeds with a six-year penance; if such a person does not repent, but persists in sin, he is subject to complete expulsion from the Church.
Magicians and sorcerers are also mentioned in the rules (65, 83) of St. Basil the Great. Those who turn to fortune-tellers are compared with a murderer, receiving a penance equal in severity: “He who betrays himself to sorcerers or some similar, let him be under penance for as long as the murderer.”
Like St. Basil, sorcerers were condemned by Gregory of Nyssa, John Chrysostom, Ephraim the Syrian and many others. Moreover, John Chrysostom calls not to believe the positive result of turning to fortune-tellers: “If sometimes, by the permission of God, demons heal (through divination), then such healing happens to test the faithful, not because God does not know them, but so that they learn not to accept from demons even healing.
Of course, today no one excommunicates those who turn to fortune-tellers, psychics and sorcerers for six years from communion. Since if these rules were in effect now, there would be no one in the temples. So the practice of excommunication from communion for a long time does not exist, at least one and a half to two thousand years. And by decrees of the Most Holy Synod, it is generally prohibited under the threat of defrocking those presbyters who impose such penances.
Troubles at work, a child behaves badly, insomnia torments, personal life does not add up. “We need to go to the grandmother,” my friends advise, “she will speak some water, read a prayer, restore the energy field, and life will get better.”
Motivated by sorrows and sorrows, we understand that we cannot cope with our troubles on our own. We need the help of a more powerful force. This desire is natural for us. Man was created by God as the crown of all creation, lived in Paradise, was perfect and could communicate directly with the Lord. By the wiles of the devil, the first people succumbed to the temptation of sin and fell, having lost, in addition to the heavenly tabernacles, the possibility of Communion with God. The memory of the lost was forever reflected in the human subconscious in the form of a desire to find spiritual support, to find the Savior, Protector and Creator.
A modern person does not even realize that going to grandmothers is a sin, he is spiritually disoriented, does not see the difference between Christian and opposite concepts of Christianity, and begins to look for an easy way to get rid of troubles. It is here that the devil slips his next trick in the form of sorcerers, soothsayers, traditional healers and healers. A person does not understand that he is committing a sin and goes to healers, although even in the Old Testament it says “... Do not go to magicians, and do not bring yourself to defilement from them. I am the Lord your God" ().
What is meant by witchcraft?
Witchcraft or magic, however, like divination, quackery, healing, extrasensory perception, telepathy, clairvoyance, reiki, etc., is a set of certain actions, the purpose of which is communication and interaction with the lower forces of the demonic world. By attracting demonic forces, a person tries to solve his life problems, gain health, personal happiness, and financial well-being. Someone is trying to find out their future, someone is turning to the dark forces just out of curiosity or for company. Most of them do not even suspect whose “help” they are resorting to, who is actually behind the harmless at first glance grandmother healer or traditional healer. For some reason, it is customary to consider these forces to be impersonal, energies of nature that do not have their own consciousness, easily amenable to control by village healers or their urban psychic counterparts. But they are individuals, they are spirits, very cunning and immensely evil and hating the crown of Divine creation - man.
The devil is not harmless, he has the power to work miracles. Remember, in the Old Testament, the priests, like Moses, turned their rods into snakes? St. Irenaeus of Lyons wrote: "Satan is the ape of God." Yes, the devil can also repeat miracles, but the purpose of his miracles is to deceive and destroy a person, to take his soul. Christ said, “The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it abundantly” (). Christ, healing the sick and raising the dead, did not do it just like that, for the sake of a miracle. His deeds were aimed at correcting a person, at his repentance and turning to God. He wanted everyone to be saved.
The devil wants to steal something from us, to destroy us. His goal is not health, not financial well-being, etc., but the soul. If you put the soul of a person and the very requests with which he goes to grandmothers on the scales, then the request itself will not cost anything compared to the soul. The devil knows this and is therefore ready to give at least all the riches of the world, if only a person would give the most valuable thing - the soul. Remember how the devil tempted Christ in the wilderness, offering him power over all earthly kingdoms, in return for worshiping himself, “and the devil said to him: I will give you power over all these kingdoms and their glory, for it is given to me, and I give it to whomever I want. her; so if You bow down to me, then everything will be Yours. Jesus answered him, Get away from Me, Satan; It is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him alone.
Turning to the devil gives him the right not only to the soul of a person, but also to life, as a result of which he finds himself in a situation even worse than he was.
The only source of salvation for man is the Lord, only to Him should our prayers for help be addressed. The pledge of salvation is sincere repentance, life in accordance with the commandments, and the communion of the Sacraments of the Church. But it is always worth remembering that the Lord may not answer your prayer with immediate healing. This does not happen because He does not hear you or does not want to help you. It's just that He knows that the help provided at this very moment will not benefit you. He foresees that, having been healed bodily, you will forget about spiritual healing. Having got rid of ailments, you will certainly return to your former life full of sin. The Lord is patiently waiting for the moment when His help will have beneficial consequences. One must always remember that God allows only that evil that will certainly turn into good.
If a person, not understanding all the subsequent gravity of sin, nevertheless turned to a sorcerer, healer, psychic, etc., but then regretted it, he needs to confess his sin as soon as possible, sincerely repent and hope for the help of the Lord.
Let's try to understand this issue. Firstly, why people turn to them, in what cases they turn, and why I do not advise going to them. Although I will immediately clarify - I do not advise everyone to contact them.
One of the main reasons why I do not advise everyone to go to fortune-tellers and clairvoyants is that their answers are to some extent zombifying. This is especially true for people who are suspicious, with low self-esteem.
In some cases, after talking with fortune-tellers and clairvoyants, people's lives change for the worse. Why is this happening? It is clear that a person turns to them not at the best moments of his life. And the answers of fortune-tellers, or clairvoyants, sit tightly in the minds of many people. This is because people, even after many years, will still remember the predictions.
And depending on this, they will subconsciously choose such scenarios for the development of events that will correspond to the predictions that they received. If these are some unpleasant facts, gloomy predictions, then people will not be able to realize themselves in some area of life, therefore, these predictions will be superimposed on their already low self-esteem, disbelief in their own strength, completely depriving a person of the chances of a successful realization of their potentials, their capabilities, laid down by nature.
Another point that plays an important role in why many ordinary people should not turn to fortune-tellers and clairvoyants.
There is no such specialist who would not be mistaken. Even the famous Vanga sometimes made mistakes. What is the reason? A clairvoyant or a fortuneteller, depending on his strength, can see only one of the possible scenarios.
And the better the fortuneteller, the more accurate his prediction will be.
But, anyway, it will be only the most likely scenario, but not the only one.
Such forces, such events, can intervene in a person's life, which can completely change his fate. Even some severe stress can completely change the character of a person, his behavior, which will affect his future life, completely changing the scenario that the clairvoyant or fortune teller drew.
What else can affect human destiny? In a person's life, situations may arise when he will be subjected to some kind of energy-informational influences. In this case, the energy of a person will be spoiled, his biofield will be deformed.
Firstly, it can greatly distort the picture that the fortuneteller or clairvoyant sees. In this case, the probability that the information will be incorrect, or severely distorted, will greatly increase.
Secondly, again, due to some circumstances, a person will be able, with the help of specialists, to remove these influences, and then the scenario of his life will be rewritten, and will not coincide with what fortunetellers or clairvoyants predicted.
An important role in terms of the correctness of the prediction is played by the suit of a person who will predict someone's fate.
Everyone has heard that there is black and white magic. This means that other specialists in this field may be of the corresponding colors. What does this mean? This means that, let's say, a "white" specialist will use the Light Forces, which help people in the implementation of their plans, help them rise to the highest level, in the plan. And most importantly, they will focus a person’s attention on the positive aspects that a fortuneteller or clairvoyant deems it necessary to voice.
"Black" specialists use completely different methods. Let's start with the fact that there is a high probability that the "black" specialist may have settlements of entities from the Subtle Worlds, entities that are quite often hostile to people.
They will do their best to influence the fortuneteller, or clairvoyant, during their prediction, and the person who came for information. These can be all sorts of provocations, misleading, deliberate distortion of information with the sole purpose of making a person suffer in the future and feed these very entities with their suffering.
How to recognize the "suit" of a specialist? Unambiguous criteria, of course, do not exist. The person himself, intuitively, must feel what “color” the fortuneteller or clairvoyant refers to. Listen to word of mouth, understand what the specialist you want to contact is doing.
If a fortuneteller predicts trouble, death to many, then most likely she is from the “blacks”. If the clairvoyant is engaged in corruption, curses, punishments, then everything is clear here too. Naturally, everyone has a choice, everyone is the arbiter of his own destiny.
And now let's figure out why, and most importantly to whom, you can go to fortune-tellers and clairvoyants.
Firstly, if you still decide to turn to such specialists, then it really should be a specialist. Secondly, the surroundings are not always rich, the office in the city center speaks of the qualifications of a fortune teller or clairvoyant. He also does not say anything about his or her various diplomas and certificates. I think it's understandable.
Here you need to rely only on your intuition and reviews. So who can still go to them?
If you are “on the wave”, as they say now, and you just need to choose some option, then you can safely visit a fortuneteller or clairvoyant. If you need to find out some details, just ask for advice - feel free to step.
Naturally, in terms of searching for the missing, they have no competitors. To clarify some life situations that are incomprehensible to you - they also do a good job with this. But, I repeat, go to them when there is nothing in your life, when you are on a horse - then the result will only be positive.
The main thing is to listen to clairvoyants and fortune-tellers, use their tips, but never lose your head. Remember, only in your power to change your destiny, and they will only help you with this.
