the blood, creates a need for even more external alcohol. Here "existence" should be understood as "the existence of a living being", "the existence of a living organism". And the “existence of a living organism” should by no means be understood as something “internally without process”. “The existence of a living organism” is a process, a process of internal metabolism, that is, a process of assimilation and dissimilation, that is, a process of constant internalization and externalization.

● Birth. If the internalization is not stopped, then the further development of the process leads the soul to the formation of more and more coarse, more inert bodies. And, ultimately, the soul finds itself in a human body in this world of phenomena. At the moment of birth, the soul forgets what happened to it before, and because of this, the soul has an erroneous view of bodily existence: «this body is Me». Understanding this stage as a one-time event is erroneous. This stage should be understood as the fact that the soul has come to a state of constant birth and death, to a state of constant rebirth, to the experience of an already infinite number of births.

● Suffering. If a person is born, he will inevitably die. If the soul, through its will and right thinking, stops any element of this chain, then the process of forming the conditions for emergence stops. The assertion that the process of formation of the conditions for emergence exists permanently and immanently is correct. The assertion that the last link in the process of formation of the conditions of occurrence leads back to the first link is a delusion, a mistake, a confusion. In fact, the last link of emergence leads to the first link of liberation: faith.

Law of karma

The word karma is translated as action.

If you cause someone suffering with your deed, then you are destined to experience this suffering too. If you bring joy to someone with your deed, then you are destined to experience this joy too. Neutral actions are reflected by neutral consequences.

Merit is the accumulation of karma of good deeds towards souls who are superior to you in some way. Merits before the highest God or before the Absolute have the greatest value. When a person engages in spiritual practice, he accumulates the highest merit.

Law of projection

Every thought has power. Any image appears in reality.

A weak single image manifests itself in the form of imperceptible consequences.

A strong image appears as a tangible reality.

A special case of the manifestation of a strong image is the case when a person decided to create something and then brought this idea to life. This is usually called creation.

The images of the gods are always very strong. Therefore, their images are life-giving.

A strong multiple collective image appears as a real inevitable event.

A very strong thought can give rise to life.

Meditation of becoming is just one of the ways to make your thought strong and multiple.

Awakened bodies – Buddha bodies

Yogis, in the course of conducting meditative practice and mastering deeper and deeper boundaries in it, awaken the sleepers inside the body. The awakening of another body and the controlled exit in another body is also called the formation of this other body.

● The Physical body is connected with the muladara chakra. Operates in the world of phenomena.
