Preface

I lived up to 50 years, thinking that the life of a person who passes from birth to and to death, and there is all his life and that because the human goal is happiness in this mortal life, and I tried to get it happiness, but the farther I lived, the more obvious it became that there was no happiness and could not be. That happiness I was looking for, did not let me; The same that was reached by immediately ceased to be happiness. There were more and more and the inevitability of death to the death of death became more and more obvious, and I realized that after this meaningless and accidentally, I do not expect anything but suffering, illness, old age and destruction. I asked myself: why is it? And did not receive a response. And came to despair. What some people told me and what I myself sometimes tried to assure myself that we need to wish happiness not alone, but others, close and to all people, did not satisfy me, in the 1st, because I could not sincerely just like yourself, wishing happiness to other people; In the 2nd, and, most importantly, because other people, just like me, were doomed to misfortune and death. And because all my efforts about their good were in vain. I came to despair. But then I thought that my despair could occur because I was a special person that other people know why they live, and therefore they do not come to despair. And I began to observe other people, but other people just like me, did not know why they live. Some tried a fuss of life to drown out this ignorance, others assured themselves and others that they believe in different faiths who inspired them since childhood; But believe in what they believed, it was impossible, so it was stupid. Yes, and many of them seemed to me, only pretended that they believe, but in the depths of the soul did not believe. I could not continue to fuss: no bustle hid an incessantly standing in front of my question; And he also could not again begin to believe in that faith, which was taught to me from childhood and which, when I was called my mind, myself disappeared from me. But the more I studied, the more I was convinced that there was no truth here, that there is one hypocrisy and mercenary types of deceiving and dementia, stubbornness and fear of deceived. Not to mention the internal contradictions of this teaching, about the lowland, the cruelty, which recognizes God by punishing people by eternal torment, (1) the main thing that did not allow me to believe in this teaching was what I knew that next to this Orthodox Christian teaching claimed that it is one in the truth, there was another Christian Catholic, third Lutheran, fourth reformat,. - And all the various Christian teachings, of which each of them claimed that it is one in the truth; I also knew that next to these Christian teachings there are still non-Christian religious teachings - Buddhism, Brazanism, Magometanism, Confucianism, etc., exactly also consider themselves true, yet other exercises - delusion. And I could not return to any faith that was taught since childhood, nor believe in any of those who confessed other peoples, because in all the same contradictions, nonsense, miracles who deny all the other faiths, And most importantly, their deception, the demands of blind confidence in their teaching. So, I was convinced that in existing faiths I would not find the permission of my question and facilitate my suffering. My despair was such that I was close to suicide. But then the salvation came me. Salvation was that from childhood I kept the vague idea that the gospel had an answer to my question.

- All contradictions, I stated in detail in the book "Criticism of dogmatic theology."

In the teachings of this, in the gospels, despite all the perversions, which it was subjected to the teaching of the Christian church, I chose the truth. And, as the last attempt, I, Ott, in all sorts of interpretation of the gospel teaching, began to read the Gospel and delve into the meaning of them. The more I got into the meaning of this book, the more I was understanding something new, not at all similar to what Christian churches teach, but responsible to the question of my life. And finally, this answer was completely clear. And this answer was not only clear, but also undoubted, firstly, by the fact that he completely coincided with the requirements of my mind and heart, secondly, the fact that when I understood him, then I saw that this answer was not My exclusive interpretation of the Gospel, as it could seem, and not even only the revelation of Christ, but that this very answer to the question of life more or less clearly expressed all the best people of humanity and before and after the Gospel, starting with Moses, Isaiah, Confucius, ancient Greeks, Buddha, Socrates and Pascal, Spinoza, Fichte, Feyerbach and all those often invisible and non-depressed people who are sincerely, without taken on faith of teachings, thought and talked about the meaning of life .. so in the knowledge of the truth asked me from the Gospels I was not only alone, but was with all the best people for the same and our time. And I approved in this truth, calmed down and happily lived after that 20 years of my life and joyfully approaching death. And this answer to the meaning of my life, who gave me the full calm and joy of life, I want to convey to people. I stand in my age, the state of health with one foot in the coffin, and therefore human considerations do not have values \u200b\u200bfor me, and if you would have any meaning, then I know that this statement of my faith will not only be promoted to my welfare, no good opinion about me; But, on the contrary, it can only be outraged and disappeared as people unbelieving, requiring literary writings from me, and not reasoning about faith and believers, angry with all sorts of my religious scriptures and the warrant of me for them. In addition, in all the probabilities, Scripture will be known to people only after my death. And therefore encourages me to what I do, do not care, not glory, not worldly considerations, but only fear do not fulfill what the one wants me from me who sent me to this world to which I am waiting for my return every hour. And so I ask all those that will read it, read and understand my Scripture, leaving just like me, all the secular considerations, meaning only the eternal beginning of the truth and good, by the will of which we came to this world, And very soon, as bodily creatures, disappear from it, and without hasty and irritation, to understand and discuss what I express, and, in case of disagreement, not with contempt and hatred, but with regret and love to correct me; In the case of consent with me, remember that if I say the truth, then this is not mine, and God's truth, and that only by chance, part of it passes through me, just as she passes through each of us when we learn the truth And we pass it.

Ancient creeds

1. Always since the most ancient times, people felt pleading, the fragility and meaninglessness of their existence and were looking for salvation from this plot, fragility and meaninglessness in faith in God or gods that could save them from various misfortunes and in the future life would be given They are the benefit that they wished and could not get in this life. 2. And therefore, from ancient times among different peoples there were various preachers who taught people about what God or those gods who can save people and what had to be done in order to please this God or the gods In order to get a reward in this or future life. 3. Some religious teachings taught the fact that this God has the sun and personifies in different animals; Others taught that gods are heaven and earth; Third taught the fact that God created the world and elected one favorite people from all nations; The fourth taught that there are many gods and that they are involved in the affairs of people; The fifth taught the fact that God, by taking the image of a person, went to the ground. And all these teachers, stirring the truth with a lie, demanded from people, besides abstaining from actions that were considered bad, and the execution of cases that were considered good, also the sacraments, and the victims, and the prayers that most of all had to provide people in their benefit This world and in the future.

Insufficiency of ancient faults

1. But the more people lived, the less and less satisfied these creeds with the requirements of the human soul. 2. People saw, firstly, the fact that happiness in this world, to which they strive, was not achieved, despite the fulfillment of the requirements of God or gods. 3. Secondly, due to the dissemination of education, confidence in what the religious teachers preach about God, about the future life and about the awards in it, not coinciding with the understanding concepts about the world, everything weakened and weakened. 4. If, first, people could unhindered to believe that God created the world 6000 years ago, that the Earth is the center of the Universe, that under the ground is hell, that God went to the ground and then flew to heaven, etc., now it is already It is impossible to believe, because people really know that the world exists not 6000 years old, and hundreds of thousands of years that the Earth is not a center of the world, but only a very small planet in comparison with other celestial bodies, and know that nothing can be since the earth is a ball; They know that it is impossible to fly to the sky, because there is no sky, and there is only the seeming arch of heaven. 5. Third, the main thing - confidence in these various teachings by the fact that people, entering into closer communication among themselves, learned about the fact that in each country religious teachers preach their special teachings, recognizing one of its own - true, And deny all the others. And people knowing about this, naturally made the conclusion that none of these teachings are more true than another, and that because neither of them can be accepted for the undoubted and infallible truth. The need for a new creed, corresponding to the degree of humanization of mankind 1. The unattainableness of happiness in this life, all the propagating enlightenment of mankind and communication of people among themselves, as a result of which they learned the creeds of other peoples, did that the confidence of people to the treacherous trees weakened and weakened and weakened. 2. And meanwhile, the need to explain the meaning of life and resolving the contradiction between the desire for happiness and life on the one hand, and more and more similar to the consciousness of the inevitability of disaster and death on the other - it became more painful and more influential. 3. A person wants the benefits to himself, sees the meaning of his life in this, and the more he lives, the more impossible he sees that it is impossible for him; A person wants life to continue her, and sees that he and everything that exists around him is doomed to the inevitable destruction and disappearance; A person has a mind and is looking for a reasonable explanation of life phenomena and does not find any reasonable explanation of either his or someone else's life. 4. If in ancient times the consciousness of this contradiction between the life of human, requiring good and continuing, and the inevitability of death and suffering was available only to the best minds, like Solomon, Buddha, Socrates, Lao Tce, etc., then in the later time it became the truth. available to everyone; And therefore the resolution of this contradiction has become more likely than ever. 5. And just at the time when the resolution of the contradictions of the desire for good and life, with consciousness of the impossibility of them, it became especially painfully necessary for humanity - it was given to people of Christian teachings in his true meaning.

What is the resolution of the contradiction of life and an explanation of its meaning given by the Christian trick in his true meaning?

1. Ancient creeds with their assurances of the existence of God - the Creator, Spriverman and Redeemer, tried to hide the contradiction of human life; Christian teaching on the contrary, shows people this contradiction in his entire strength; It proves to them what it must be, and from recognition of contradiction displays and resolving it. The contradiction is as follows: 2. Indeed, on the one hand, a person has an animal and cannot stop being animals while he lives in the body; On the other hand, it is a spiritual being, denying all the animals of human requirements. 3. The man at the first time of his life lives, not knowing that he lives, so he lives himself, but the power of life lives through him, which lives in everything we know. 4. The person begins to live himself only when he knows that he lives. He knows what he lives when he knows what the benefits wishes himself and that other creatures wish the same. This knowledge gives him the mind awakened. 5. Learning that he lives and wishes the good to himself and that the same and other creatures are also wishing, a person will inevitably recognize both the benefit that he wants for his own creature is not available to him and that instead of the good he Wishes, he is coming inevitable suffering and death. The same is to all other creatures. And it is a contradiction to whom a person is looking for. Draggings of this, in which his life, which is what it is, there would have a reasonable meaning. He wants life to continue to be something, what she was before the awakening of his mind, that is, quite an animal, or that she was already completely spiritual. 6. The person wants to be a beast or an angel, but there can be no one or another 7. And then it is the permission of this contradiction that the Christian doctrine gives. It says to man that he is either a beast nor angel, but an angel that is born from the beast is a spiritual being that is born from the animal. That all our stay in this world is nothing but this is a birth.

What is the birth of a spiritual being?

1. As soon as a person awakens to a reasonable consciousness, this consciousness tells him that he wishes the good; And since the reasonable consciousness was awakened in his separate creature, it seems to him that his desire of good refers to his separate being. 2. But then the most reasonable consciousness, which showed him a separate being wishing to himself, shows him and the fact that a separate being does not correspond to the wishes of the good and the life, which he attributes to him, he sees that this creature cannot Have no good or life. 3. "What is true life?" - He asks himself and sees that the true life does not have neither the creatures that surround it, but only what the good wishes. 4. And, by calling it, a person ceases to recognize his separate bodily and mortal creature, but recognizes something inseparable from other spiritual and therefore not a death being, which is open to him by his intelligent consciousness. This is the birth of a new spiritual being in man.

What is a creature that is born in man?

1. The creature, opened by his intelligent consciousness, is the desire of good, there is the same wishes of the good, which was previously the goal of his life, but with the difference that the desire of the good creature belonged to a separate one bodily creature and did not consciously The present desire of the good is aware of themselves and therefore applies not to anything separate, but to the entire existing one. 2. At first, the awakening of the mind seemed that the desire of the good, which he conscious of himself belongs only to the body in which it was concluded. 3. But the clearer and harder becomes the mind, the more clearly it became that a true creature, a true man, how soon he is aware of himself, there is not his body that does not have true life, but the desire of good in itself, in other words - desire good to all existing. 4. The desire for the good of the entire existing thing is that it gives life to the entire existing, what we call God. 5. So the creature that opens by the person of his consciousness, a born creature, - there is something that gives life to the entire existing, is God.

God, according to Christian teaching, a person knows in itself

1. For the same exercises, for the knowledge of God, a person had to believe that he had other people talking about God, how God would create peace and people and then showed himself to people; According to the Christian teaching, a person directly knows God with his consciousness in itself. 2. In itself, consciousness shows a person that the essence of his life is the desire of the good to exist, there is something inexplicable and not expressed in words and at the same time the closest and understandable person. 3. The beginning of the wishes of the good appeared in man first as the life of his separate animal being, then as the life of those creatures he loved, then since his reasonable consciousness awakened in him, it manifested itself as the desire of the good to the existing one. The desire of the good of the whole existing is the beginning of any life, there is love, there is God, as it is said in the Gospel, that God is love.

God, the Christian teaching learned by a person

1. But besides God, known, in Christian teaching, in itself, as a desire for the good of the existing - love - a person, in Christian teaching, knows him also beside himself, - in the whole existing one. 2. Conscious in his separate body the spiritual and inseparable being of God and seeing the presence of the same God in all lives, a person cannot but ask himself - for what God, the spiritual being, one and inseparable, concluded itself in separate bodies of creatures and in the body individual person. 3. What is the spiritual and unified creature, in itself? Why is the divine essence concluded in the terms of detachment and physicity? Why is the Immortal Confident in Mortal, associated with it? 4. And the answer can be only one: there is a higher will, the goals that is not available to a person. And this will delivered a person and everything that exists in which it is located. This is the reason that for some inaccessible to a person of the goals concluded itself, the desire of the good of the existing - love, - in some of the rest of the world being, - there is the same God, whom, a person is aware of himself, knowing a person outside Himself. So God, according to Christian verbation, there is also the essence of life that a person is aware of himself and knows everything, the world as the desire of good; And at the same time, the reason why this entity is concluded in the conditions of a separate bodily life. God, in the Christian teaching, there is that father, as is said in the Gospel, who sent her son to the world to fulfill his will, - the benefits of all existing.

Confirmation of the truth of the Christian understanding of life by the external manifestation of God

1. God is manifested in a reasonable person by the desire of the good by the existing and in the world - in individual beings seeking each to their good. 2. Although it is not known and cannot be known to a person, for which it was necessary to be a single spiritual creature - God-- to express himself in a reasonable person by the desire of the good of everyone in some creatures, a person cannot not see that And another converges to one closest and affordable and joyful goal. 3. This goal opens, man and observation, and, legend, and reasoning. The observation shows that all the movement in the life of people, - as far as it is known to them, - consisted only that the essences and people are still separated and hostile to each other and more and more and associate consent and interaction. Tradition shows a person that all the wise men of the world have always taught that humanity should move to unity from separation, as the prophet said that all people should be taught by God, spears and swords are crossped on sickles and plows, and as Christ said to all They were united, as I am with my father. The reasoning shows a person that the greatest benefit of the people to whom all people seek can be achieved only with the greatest union and harmony of people. 4. And therefore, although the ultimate goal of the life of the world and is hidden from a person, he still knows what the nearest matter of the world's life consists in which he is intended to participate; The case is a replacement of separation and disagreement in the world with unity and consent. 5. Observation, legend, mind show a person that the matter of God is in this, in which he is intended to participate, and the inner desire of his spiritual being born in him - love - entails him to be the same. 6. Internal attraction of a human spiritual creature is only one thing: an increase in love. And this is an increase in love is the very thing that one contributes to the case that is performed in the world: replacing the separation and control of unity and consent, the fact that in Christian teaching is called the establishment of the kingdom of God. 7. So, if it could be for a person, the doubt about the truth of the Christian definition of the meaning of life, the coincidence of the internal desire of a person on Christian teaching with the move of the life of the whole world would confirm this truth.

What is a life in this world who opens with the Christian teaching?

1. Bed to a new life, a person is aware that in its separate from all other creatures the essence of the good of the good is not alone, and the entire existing is love. 2 If this is the desire of the good to the whole existing, this love was not in a separate creature, it would not know about myself and would always be equal to myself; But, being concluded within the limits of a particular being - a person, it is aware of himself and its limits and seeks to break what binds it. 3. By property of your love, the desire of good, seeks to hug everything that exists. Naturally, it expands its limits with love - first to family - wife, children, then to friends, compatriots: But love is not content with it and seeks to hug everything that exist. 4. In this inconspicuous expansion of the limits of the field of love constituting the essence of the birth of a spiritual being, and is the essence of the true life of a person in this world. All the stay of a person in this world from birth and to death is nothing but the birth of a spiritual being in it. This misconception is that in Christian teaching is called the life of true. 5. You can imagine that what is our body, which is now presented as a separate creature, which we preferably preferably before all other creatures, ever in the same, lower life there was only a collection of favorite items that love connected to the same way that we already feel it in this life; And in the same way, our love is now to what is available to us, will be one whole creature in the future life, which will also be close to us, as now our body (the father has a lot of your abode).

How will the true life that opens with the Christian teaching, from the life of the former?

1. The difference between personal life and the life of the true lies in the fact that the purpose of personal life is to increase the pleasures of the external life and the continuation of it, and this purpose, despite all efforts, is never achieved, because a person is not authorized over external conditions that impede enjoyment, and over all kinds of disasters that can always comprehend him; The goal of a true life, consisting in expanding the field of love and an increase in it, can no longer be prevented, tie as all the external causes, somehow: violence, diseases, suffering that prevent the achievement of personal life, contribute to the achievement of the goal of spiritual. 2. The difference is what the difference between those workers who, being sent to the master garden, as described in the gospel parable, decided that the garden belongs to them, and therefore did not give up the owner's fruits, and those who recognize themselves workers and Performed by the owner.

What prevents a person to live true life?

1. To fulfill its destination, a person must increase love in itself and manifest it in the world - and this increase in love and the manifestation of it in the world there is something that is needed to commit the business of God. But what can a person do to manifest love? 2. The basis of a person's life is the desire of the good to the existing one. Love in man is concluded within the limits of a particular being and therefore it will naturally go to the expansion of its limits, so that a person does not need to do anything to show love in himself: she strives for her manifestation in himself, and man only needs to eliminate obstacles to its progress. What are these obstacles? 3. Obstacles that prevent people to show love are in the human body, individually from other beings: in the fact that, starting his life with infancy, during which he lives one animal life of his own creature, man and subsequently when It wakes up the mind, can never be completely dismissed from the desire for the good of his individual creature and makes any acts opposite to love.

The value of obstacles to the manifestation of love

1. The desire of the good to all existing - love, seeking to his manifestation, meets the obstacles to this manifestation in the human body and especially the fact that a person's mind, exempting love, awakens in a person not when a person appears to light, and after the famous time , when a person is already afraid of an animal habit. What is this for? 2. A person can not not ask himself about it. Why is the spiritual being - love - is concluded in a separate creature of man? And on the question, this various teachings were answered and answered differently. Some, pessimistic, respond to the fact that the conclusion of a spiritual being into the human body is a mistake that should be corrected by the destruction of the body, the destruction of an animal life. Other exercises respond to the fact that the assumption of the existence of a spiritual being is a mistake that must be corrected in order to recognize a really existing one body and its laws. And that and another doctrine does not allow the contradictions, but only does not recognize - one: the legality of the body; Other: The legality of the Spirit. Only Christian teachings allow it. 3. To the Council, who gives the seducer Christ to destroy life, if it is impossible to satisfy all the requirements of the animal nature, Christ says that it is impossible to oppose the will of God who sent us into life in the form of a separate being, but that in this life there is a single creature To God. 4. According to Christian teaching, it is necessary to resolve the contradiction of life not to destroy the lifetime of a separate being that would be disgusted by the will of God who sent it, and not to subject the requirements of the animal life of a particular creature, which would be disgusting to the spiritual beginning, which is a true man, and should In that body, in which this true man is concluded, serve one God. 5. True, I have a person living in it, constantly seeking to increase, infinite love that is the basis of his life. This love is concluded within the limits of the animal life of a particular being and always seeks to free yourself from her. 6. In this liberation of the spiritual being from an animal personality, in this birth of a spiritual being and consists of the true life of every individual and all mankind. 7. Love in every individual and in humanity is similar to a couple compressed in a steam: couples, striving for expansion, pushes the pistons and produces work. As for the steam to make his work, there should be obstacles to the walls, and so that love makes its work, you need an obstacle to the limits of a separate being into which it is concluded.

What should a person do in order to live true life?

1. A person during his infancy, childhood, sometimes later, lives as an animal, fulfilling the will of God, knowing him as the desire of good to its separate creature, and does not know any other life. 2. Waking up to a reasonable consciousness, a man, although he knows that his life is in his spiritual creature, continues to feel in a separate body and, according to them, the habit of an animal life, performs actions that are the goal of the benefit of a separate person and nasty love. 3. By doing so. A person deprives himself the benefits of true life and does not achieve the goal of the good of a separate being, to which he seeks, and therefore, I do this, makes sins. In these sins and there are inborn obstacles to the manifestation of love in man. 4. These obstacles are more increased by the fact that those who lived people who made sins, pass the habits and techniques of their sins the next generations. 5. So every person - and because he learned the habit of the personal life of a separate being in childhood, and because the same habits of personal life are transmitted by legends to him from ancestors, they are always subject to sins that impede the manifestation of love.

Three kinds of sins

1. There are three kinds of sins, hindering love: a) sins arising from the inexperienced attirement of a person while he lives in the body, to the good of his personality, - sins of inborn, natural; b) sins arising from the legend of human facilities and customs aimed at increasing the benefits of individuals - sins of hereditary, public c) sins arising from the aspirations of a separate person to a bolm and greater increase in the good of its individual being, - Personal sins, invented . 2. The sins of the inborn are that people believe in conservation and increasing the animal of the good of their Odel Personality. Any activity aimed at increasing the animal of the benefit of his personality, there is such a born sin. 3. The sins are hereditary - these are the sins that people make, using the existing people who have lived people who live first, techniques for increasing the benefit of a separate personality. Every use of institutions and customs established for the benefit of their personality is such a heredic sin. 4. The sins of personal, invented - these are the sins that people make, inventing, except for hereditary techniques, are still new means of increasing the benefit of their individual personality. Any man invented a new means of increasing the benefit of a separate creature is a sin personal.

Separation of sins

1. There are six sins that impede the manifestation of love in people: 2. Sin of lust, in order to prepare his pleasure from meeting the needs. 3. The sin of the idleness, to free himself from labor, the necessary people to meet the needs. 4. The sin of the carriage, consisting in order to prepare himself the opportunity to meet their needs in the future. 5. The sin of the powerfulness, consisting to conquer himself like. 6. Sin of Blud, consisting and to organize a pleasure to satisfy sex. 7. The sin of intoxication, consisting in order to make artificial excitement of their bodily and mental forces.

Sin of lust

1. A person needs to meet his bodily needs, and in an unconscious state, as well as any animal, quite satisfying them, without refraining and without strengthening them, and in this satisfaction needs benefit. 2. But, awakened to a reasonable consciousness, a person at first it seems that the benefit of his individual being is to satisfy his needs, and he comes up with the means of increasing the pleasure of meeting his needs, trying to support the means of pleasant satisfaction of the needs who have previously lived people and invent New, even more pleasant means of satisfying them. This is a sin of lust. 3. When a person eats or drinks, not being still hungry, when it is not dressed in order to protect the body from the cold, or builds a house not to hide in it from bad weather, but in order to increase pleasure from meeting the needs, He makes a born sin of lust. 4. When a person was born and rose in the habits of excess in drinking, food, clothes, dwelling and continues to use his excess, supporting these habits, then such a person makes the heredic sin of lust. 5. When a person, living in luxury, comes up with new, not consumed by people around him, more pleasant means of satisfying needs: Instead of the former simple food and drinking new, more sophisticated: instead of the old, covered his body's body, extracts a new, more Beautiful: instead of the former smaller, simple home, builds a new one, with new ornaments, etc., - such a person makes a personal sin of lust. 6. The sin of lust, both inborn and hereditary and personal, is that, striving for the good of his individual being through the satisfaction of his needs, a person, strengthening these needs, prevents his birth to a new spiritual life. 7. In addition, the person coming down this does not reach the goal to which all the strengthening of needs makes it less likely to satisfy lust and weakens the most pleasure from satisfaction. The more often the person quenches the hunger than the sophisticated eating the eats, the less he will receive pleasure from food. The same and with the satisfaction of all other animal needs.

Sin idleness

1. Man, as well as the animal, you need to exercise my strength. These are naturally directed to the preparation of items necessary to meet the needs. After aimed at this, a person, like every animal, need rest. 2. And in the unconscious state a person, as well as the animal, prepare for himself objects necessary for life, alternates work with rest and in this natural rest finds good. 3. But, awakened to a reasonable consciousness, a person shares the work from rest and, finding a more pleasant stay than labor, trying to reduce work and extend the rest, forcing the strength or cunning of other people to serve its needs. This is the sin of idleness. 4. When a person, using the works of other people, is resting when he could still work, he makes a born sin of idleness. 5. When a person was born and lives in such a position that he enjoys other people's work, not being faced with the need to work himself, and he supports such a order of things, not working, using the works of others, then such a person makes the heredic sin of a fever. 6. When a person, knowing and living in the environment of people who are accustomed to easily enjoying the difficulty of other people, he thinks up tools to free himself from the works, which he had previously performed, and imposes these works on others when a person who brought his clothes himself , Makes it to do another, or the writing letters himself, or who made his scores, or who went to his affairs himself, - makes it to do others, and himself uses his free time on vacation or fun, then such a person makes a personal sin of idleness. 7. The fact that every person cannot do everything for himself, and often the division of labor improves and facilitates work, cannot serve as an excuse for the liberation of himself from difficulty or from hard work, replacing it with an easy. Any work of labor that a person uses, requires him relevant labor, and not to facilitate his work or perfect liberation from him. 8. The sin of idleness, both inborn and hereditary and personal, is that, stopping his work and taking advantage of the lack of others, a person does the opposite to what it is intended, since the true good is acquired only the activities of the ministry. 9. In addition, the person coming down this does not achieve and what she strives for, as pleasures from recreation gets only after labor. And the less labor, the less rest enjoyments.

Sin of rudeness

1. The position of the person in the world is such that its bodily existence is provided by the laws with the generals that the person is subordinate to all animals. A person who gave his instinct should work, and the natural goal of his work is to satisfy its needs, and this work is always with a surprise ensures its existence. The person has a public animal, and the fruits of his work accumulate in society so that if only there was no sin, every person who could not work could always have something. What he needs to meet his needs. And therefore, the gospel sayings about not to take care of tomorrow, but to live, like birds of heaven, is not a metaphor, but the approval of the existing law of any animal public life. Exactly the same is said in the Qur'an, that there is no animal in the world, to whom God would not give food. 2. But after waking up him to a reasonable consciousness, it continues to appear for a reason for a reasonable consciousness that his life is the good of his individual creature, and since the creature it lives in time, then a person and cares about the special advances to satisfy his needs in this future for himself And for your family. 3. The special provision in the future satisfying the needs of oneself and its family is possible only when retention from other people consumption, what is called property. And so on this acquisition, retention and an increase in property and directs a person's effort. This is a sin of a carriage. 4. When a person believes solely, its cooked or "Food received from anyone for tomorrow, or clothes, or shelter for the winter for himself for his family for his family, he is committing a born sin of augment. 5. When a person with an awaken consciousness finds Himself in such conditions that he considers the well-known subject with its own, despite the fact that these items are not needed to ensure his life, and keeps these items from others, then he makes the heredic sin of a carriage. 6. When a person having already objects I needed to meet him in the future of his family and owns items unnecessary to maintain life, it becomes more new and new items and keep them from others, then this person commits a personal sin of a carristish. 7. Sin is pearing, as a born, so and hereditary and personal, is that, trying to provide in the future the benefit of his separate being and for this acquiring items and holding them from others, a person does This is what it is intended: Instead of serving people, takes away from them what they need. 8. In addition, a person who comes in this way never reaches the goal to which he seeks, as the future is not in power of a person, and a person may die every minute. Having spent on the unknown and the future does not step by the future of the undoubted present, it makes an obvious error.

Sin valure

1. A person, as an animal, is raised in such conditions that any satisfaction of his needs makes him come into fighting other creatures. 2. The animal life of a person is supported only to the detriment of other creatures. Fighting is a natural property and an animal law. And the person who lives the animal life before awakening in him consciousness, in this struggle finds good. 3. But when a reasonable consciousness awakens in a person, it seems to him in the first time of this awakening that it will increase him if he conquers and wins as much creatures as possible, and a person uses his strength to conquer people and creatures. This is a sin of vustolism. 4. When a person, in order to defend his personal good, considers it necessary to fight and fights against those people and creatures that want to conquer him, then such a person is committing a born sin of vustolism. 5. When a person was born and rose in the well-known conditions of power, whether he was born with the son of King, Velmazby, a merchant, a wealthy man, remaining in this position, does not stop the struggle, sometimes imperceptible, but always necessary to maintain his position, then he performs hereditary Sin of power. 6. When a person, being in well-known permanent conditions of the struggle, wanting to increase his blessing, comes in new collisions with people and other creatures, wanting. Increase your power when he attacks a neighbor to take possession of his property, his lands, or tries through the acquisition of rights, diplomas, it is a higher, or wanting to increase his estate, comes to combat competitions and workers Or enters into fighting with other peoples, - such a person commits a personal sin of vustolism. 7. The sin of the power, both inborn and hereditary and personal, is that by using his forces to achieve the good of his individual being through the struggle, a person makes it directly the opposite of what is characteristic of true life. Instead of increasing love, i.e. destroy obstacles separating it from other creatures, it increases them. 8. In addition, entering into the fight against people and creatures, a person reaches the opposite to what he seeks. Entering the struggle, it increases the likelihood that other creatures will attack him and that instead of conquer other creatures, he will be conquered by them. The more a person has time in the fight, the more it requires stress in it. 21 sin of Blud 1. The need for maintaining the kind is invested: a sexual need, and a person in an animal state, giving her, copulating, fulfills its appointment and in this performance of his destination finds good. 2. But when the consciousness is awakening, it seems that the satisfaction of this need can increase the benefit of its individual creature, and it enters into sexual communication not in order to continue the kind, but in order to increase his personal good. This is the sin of forfit. 3. The sin of the fornication differs from all other sins in that, whereas with all other sins it is impossible to complete abstinence from a born sin, and only a decrease in the born sin is possible, in the sin of fornication it is possible to complete abstinence from sin. This happens because the complete abstinence from meeting the needs of the personality (food, clothes, the bed) destroys the very personality, the personality destroys the lack of any rest, every property and any struggle, but abstaining from sexual need, chastity - one or more - - Does not destroy the genus of the human, what should support the sexual need, since the abstinence of one, several and many people from sexual communication does not destroy the genus of the human. So the satisfaction of sexual need is optional for each person: each individual person is given the possibility of abstinence from this need. 4. People, as it were, the choice of two ways to serve God; or, remaining free from the marital life and its consequences, to fulfill its life in this world all that is intended to fulfill a person, or, to create its weakness, convey a part of the execution or at least the possibility of execution of unforced to its born, feedable and educated offspring. 5. From this feature of sexual need from all others, two different degrees of sin of fornicing, depending on which one of the two appointments chooses a person. 6. At the first appointment, when a person wants, remaining chaste, all his best to devote to the ministry to God, the sin of fornication will be every sexual communication, at least aimed at the birth and raising children, the most pure and chaste marriage will be such a born sin for a person, Choosing the appointment of virginity. 7. The inheritance sin for such a person will be any continuation of such sexual intercourse, although in marriage who are aimed at the birth and raising children, the exemption from hereditary sin will be a cessation of sexual intercom. 8. A personal, invented sin for such a person will be the entry into the sexual intercourse with another person, in addition to which he is already in marriage. 9. If a person is elected to the appointment of serving to God, there will be any sexual communication, which is not aimed at the continuation of the kind, as it happens during prostitution, random connections, in marriages concluded by the calculation, on relationships, for love. 10. Inheritance sin for a person who has chosen the appointment, the continuation of the kind will be such sexual communication, from which children cannot be born or in which parents cannot or do not want to bring up children born from their marriage. 11. When a person who has chosen the second purpose of serving the continuation of the kind, there will be a man or a woman who is already in sexual intercom with one person, enters the same communication with other persons, not for the work of the family, but to increase enjoy sex , or tries to prevent childbearing or placing unnatural vices, then such a person commits a personal sin of the Blud. 12. Sin, i.e., the mistake of Blud, for a person who chose the appointment of virginity, is that a person who could choose the highest appointment and all the forces to use his service to the ministry to God, hence the extension of love and the achievement of the highest good, descends The degree of life and deprives this good. 13. For a person, she who choose the appointment to continue - sin, the mistake of Bluda is that, detecting or, at least family communication, people are deprived of the best benefit of sex life. 14. In addition, people trying to increase the benefit from sexual communication, as in all satisfaction of needs, the more reduce natural pleasure, the more indulge in this lust.

Sin of intoxication

1. In the natural state of his person, as in any animal, it is intended to come from external reasons to the state of excitement, and this temporary excitement gives a good person in animal condition. 2. Awakening to consciousness, a person notices the reasons that lead it to this excited state, and trying to reproduce and strengthen these reasons in order to cause this condition, and for this purpose prepares itself and takes into the stomach or inhales substances , producing such an excitement, or arranges for itself the situation, or makes those special movements that lead it to this state. This is a sin of intoxication. 3. The peculiarity of this sin is that, while all those sins only distract the person born to the new life of a person from his own activity, intensifying his desire to continue the animal life and do not weaken and do not violate the activities of the mind, the sin of intoxication is not only Weakens the activities of the mind, but for a while, and sometimes absolutely destroying it; so a person who leads himself to an excited state with smoking, wine known to the solemn atmosphere or reinforced movements, as Dervishi and other religious fanatics do, under these conditions, there are often actions not only in animals, but those who are in nerazumy and their cruelty Not peculiar to animals. 4. The only degenerate sin of intoxication is that a person, having enjoyed the known state of excitement, whether it is food, or drink, an environment that affects vision and hearing, or well-known movements, is not refrained from what it produces intoxication. When a person himself, noticing himself, without intending to excite himself, eats spices, drinking tea, kvass, BRAG, decorates himself or housing, dancing or plays, it makes a born, natural sin of intoxication. 5. When a person was born and raised in the well-known habits of intoxication: the habits of tobacco use, wine, opium, the habits of solemn spectacles, public, family, church or habits of the famous kind of movements: gymnastics, dances, bows, jumps, etc. and supports These habits, a person makes the hereditary sin of intoxication. 6. When a person is brought up in the well-known habits of periodic intoxication and used to them, and introduces, imitating others or thinking up, new techniques inxication: After tobacco, the opium begins to smoke, after wine drinks vodka, introduces new solemn celebrations with new enhanced image effects, dancing, light, music or introduces new techniques of bodily exciting movements, gymnastics, cycling ride, etc. p., then a person commits a personal sin of intoxication. 7. Sin of intoxication, as a born, so hereditary and personal, is that a person, instead of all the forces of his attention to consume to eliminate everything that he can bind his consciousness, who opens his meaning of his true life, tries , on the contrary, weaken and darken this consciousness by external excitation means. In addition, a person who comes in this way reaches the opposite to what he sought. The excitation produced by external means weakens with each new excitement intake, and, despite the increase in excitation techniques, destructive health, the excitation capacity itself is more and more weakening.

The consequences of sins

1. Sins serve as an obstacle to the manifestation of love. 2. But it is not enough that sins serve as an obstacle to the manifestation of love, sins are produced in people and the greatest disasters. Disasters produced by sins, two births: some disasters --- those from whom people suffer from falling sin; Others - those from which others suffer. Disasters, comprehending those who commit sins, essence: stocky, suggestion, boredom, longing, apathy, care, fear, suspicion, malice, hatred, fierce, jealousy, powerlessness and all kinds of painful diseases. The disasters are those from whom others suffer: theft, robbery, torture, beatings, murders. 3. Do not be sins, there would be no poverty, nor suggestions, nor depravity, either theft, no robberies, no murder, no executions or wars. 4. Do not be sin of lust, there would be no need for deprived, there would be no boredom and fear among the loss, there would be no waste of strength on the fence of the pleasures of loss, there would be no accretion of the spiritual forces in need, there would be no constant deaf struggle between Those and other raising envy, hatred in some contempt and fear in others; And it would not be interrupted by times this entity by violence, murders, revolutions. 5. Do not be sin of the idleness, there would be no, on the one hand, tortured the work of people and, on the other hand, people of mutilated inaction and permanent passions; There would be no separation of people into two hostile camps: people of pleasant and hungry, celebrating and tortured work. 6. Do not be sin of property, there would be no other violence that are made by one people over others to acquire and hold objects; There would be no harness, robbery, imprisonment in prisons, references, religious works, executions. 7. Do not be the sin of power, there would be no those huge, useless spending of human strength on each other's completion and to maintain power: there would be no pride and disagreement of winners and flattery, deception and hate defeated; There would be no those divisions of family, estate, folk and sorry arising from them, fights, murders, wars. 8. Do not be sin of fornication, there would be no slavery of a woman, torturing her, and next to this ducky and perversion of it; It would not be quarrels, a fight, murders because of jealousy, there would be no removal of a woman before the instrument of satisfaction of the flesh, prostitution; there would be unnatural vices; there would be no relaxation of bodily and spiritual forces, those terrible diseases from which people now suffer; There would be no abandoned children and decisions. 9. Do not bexicated to tobacco, wine, opium, exciting reinforced movements and celebrations - there would be no promotion of people in sins. There would be no one hundredth of those quarrels, fights, robberies, adultery, murders, which come now, especially under the influence of the weakening of the spiritual forces of people; There would not be that vain waste of energy not only on unnecessary, but on straight harmful things: they would not be funeral, often the best people living in life without benefit others and in their burden.

Temptations

1. The destructive consequences of sins for individuals who make them, as well as for the society of people, among which sins are committed, are so obvious that since the most ancient times, people saw disasters from them and preached and published laws against sins and punished them : It was forbidden to steal, kill, deregulate, slander, intoxicate; But, despite the prohibition and execution, people continued and continue to sin, the lips of their lives and their neighbors. 2. This is because there are such false arguments for justifying sins, which exists that there are such exceptional circumstances on which sins are not only excrete, but necessary. Plic excuses are the essence of what is called temptations. 3. Temptation in Greek ???????? - West, trap. And indeed, the temptation is a trap, which man is lured by the likeness of good and, hitting it, dies in it. So it is stated in the gospel that the temptations must enter the world, but the mountain of the world from the temptations and the grief of those in whom they enter 4. Here are the temptations, false excuses of sins, people are not corrected from sins, but continue to touched in and that worst of all, bring up young generations in them,

Origin of temptation

1. The birth of a person for a new life is not held suddenly, but gradually, just like the birth of the carnal: the efforts of the birth will be replaced by stopping and returns to the former position - manifestations of the spiritual life of animal's life manifestations; The person is given to the ministry of God and in this ministry sees the benefit, it returns to his personal life and is looking for the benefits of his separate being and makes sins. 2. Having done a sin, a person is aware of the inconsistency of the act with the requirement of conscience. While a person wishes only to commit sin, the discrepancy is not quite clear. But how soon sin is perfect, the inconsistency is refused, and a person wants to destroy it. 3. To destroy the inconsistency of the course and the situation into which a person comes in due to sin, it is only possible to consume your mind to justify the perfect act and position. 4. To justify the same contradiction of sin with the requirements of spiritual life can only be able to explain their sin with the requirements of spiritual life. This is the same people, and this mental activity of people is what is called temptation. 5. Since the consciousness of the contradictions between their animal and spiritual life has manifested itself in people, since people began to commit sins, people became and inventing an excuse to them, that is, temptations, and therefore there were traditions of all alone and those The same excuses of sins, i.e. the temptations, so that a person does not need to invent the excuses of his sins himself, "they have already been invented before him, and he only needs to take ready-made, composed temptations.

Separation of temptations

1. There are five temptations, shipping people: a person's temptation, or a temptation of preparation; Seduisen family, or temptation to continue the kind; the temptation of the case, or the temptation of use; temptation of the partnership, or the temptation of loyalty; Seduisen state, or temptation of a common good. 2. The temptation is personal, or the temptation of cooking, is that a person, making sins, is justified by the fact that he is preparing for activities, which in the future should be useful to people. 3. The temptation is family, or the continuation of the kind, is that a person, making sins, justifies them by the benefit of his children. 4. The temptation of the case, or benefit, is that a person justifies his sins the need to keep and ending with them and useful things for people. 5. The temptation of the partnership, or loyalty, is that a person justifies his sins the blessing of those people with whom he entered exceptional relations. 6. The temptation of the state, or the common good, is that people justify the sins of many people, people, mankind. This is the temptation, which is expressed by Caiafa, who demanded the killings of Christ in the name of the good of many.

Seduisen Personal, or Temptation of Cooking

1. "I know that my meaning of my life is not in serving yourself, but in serving God or people; but in order for the ministry to people successfully, - says the man who has talked to this temptation, - I can admit some deviations from conscience requirements if they are necessary for my improvement that prepares me for future useful people of activity; I need to first learn, you must first serve the service life, you must first improve your health, you need to first marry, you must first provide a means of life in the future, and I achieve this, I can't fully follow the requirements of my conscience, when I finish it, then I will begin to live quite as much as my conscience requires. " 2. And, by recognizing the need to take care of his personal life for the most actual ministry to people and the manifestations of love subsequently, a person serves his personality, committing sins - and lust, and idleness, and property, and demolition, and intoxication, not Considering these sins are important because it allows them to itself only for a while, for the time when all his strength is aimed at preparing themselves to the active ministry to people. 3. Starting to serve your personality, keeping, strengthening and improving it, a person naturally forgets the goal for which he does this, and the best years, and sometimes all his life gives on such a preparation for the ministry that never comes. 4. Meanwhile, the sins permitted for the good purpose are becoming more familiar and more familiar, and the person, instead of the alleged useful activities for people, holds a lifetime in sins that sponge his own life and seductive other people and harmful them. This is the temptation of cooking.

Seduisen Family, continuation of the kind

1. People, entering family communications, mostly women, are inclined to think that their love for their family, to children and there is something that requires their reasonable consciousness from them, and that therefore, if in family life and have to make sins To meet the needs of the family, then these sins are excreted. 2. Recognizing this, such people consider it possible in the name of love for the family not only to free themselves from the requirements of justice to other people, but also with confidence that they come well, to make the greatest cruelty against strangers for the benefit of their children. 3. "If I had no wife, a husband or children," people who embraced this temptation, "I would live very differently and did not make these sins; now in order to raise children, I can't To live otherwise. If we did not live like that, they would not make these sins, they could not continue the genus, human. " 4. And, having made such a reasoning, a person quietly takes away their work in humans, makes them work to the detriment of their lives, takes away their land in people and, the most striking example, - takes milk to the child in order for the mother of this child to feed him Child, and does not see the evil that he does. This is a family seduction, or the continuation of the kind.

Temptation of the case

1. A person, according to its nature, should exercise his mental and bodily forces and for the exercise they are elected any matter. 2. The same thing requires in a certain time of famous actions, so if these actions have not been made at one time, then the useful people are destroyed, without bringing any benefit to anyone. 3. "I need to dust a lot of seeds with sown seeds; if I don't do it, disappear, without bringing anyone benefit, and seeds, and work. I need to cum to such a job if I do not end it, the work that could be It is useful, disappeared by gift. I have a factory in the go that produces the objects you need and gives the opportunity to work a ten thousand workers; if I have been working work, items will not be made, and people lose labor, "they say people who have fallen into this temptation. 4. And, having done such a reasoning, a person not only does not quit the misconception, to help pull the neighbor's score horse from the bog, not only does not give up urgent work in order to see the day of the patient's bed, not only does not stop the factory, work on which People's health ruins, but they are ready to take advantage of the neighbor's misfortune to dust plow, ready to tear a person from care for the sick in order to just finish working for a term, ready to root the health of several generations of people, only well-processed items were made. This is the temptation of the case, or benefit.

Temptation partnership

1. Randomly or artificially becoming in well-known conditions, people tend to allocate themselves together with people in the same conditions of all others and consider themselves obligated to comply with these people standing in exceptional conditions to retreat from the requirements of their conscience and not only to prefer the benefits of these Your benefits of others, but even to make evil people, just not to disturb the loyalty to their own. 2. People do clearly bad things, but these are our comrades, and therefore it is necessary to hide, justify their bad matter. What is offered to me is bad, meaningless, but all comrades decided that, and I can not be lagging behind them. For strangers, it may be suffering, misfortune, but for us and our partnership it will be pleasant, and therefore it is necessary to do so. 3. The partnerships are the most diverse. This is the partnership of two murderers or thieves going on their job and consider more obligatory their loyalty to comrades to commit the case, the loyalty of the conscience, condemning the deed; These are the same partnership of students of educational institutions, workers arteel, regiments, scientists, spiritual persons, kings. 4. All these people consider loyalty to establishing their partnerships more loyalty to the requirements of their conscience in relation to all other people. This consists of temptation of the partnership, or loyalty. 5. The peculiarity of this temptation is that in the name of him the wildest and senseless actions are committed, such as fitting themselves in special, strange clothes and attributing in particular importance, and acts like poisoning themselves wine, beer, and very often in the name of this The same temptation, which causes hostility of some partnerships to others, are terribly cruel actions - fights, duels, murders, etc.

Seduisen State

1. People live in a famous social structure, and the device is, like everything in the world, constantly changes the growth of consciousness in humans. 2. But people, especially those for which the existing order is more profitable than for others (and always for some people, an existing order is more profitable than for others), believe that the existing procedure is benefit for all people, and therefore to maintain this Goods for all people not only consider it possible to break love towards some people, but also consider fair and good to make the greatest atrocities to maintain the existing order. 3. People established ownership, and alone own lands and instruments of labor, and others have no other. And this is an unfair possession of alone, non-working people, lands and instruments of labor are considered to be the order that should be guarding and for which it is considered fair and good to lock out, execute people who violate this order. Similarly, due to the danger that the neighboring people or the ruler can attack our people and conquer, and destroy, and change the established order, is considered fair and good not only to promote the establishment of troops, but also to be prepared for killing people of other people and go kill them. 4. The peculiarity of this temptation is that, whereas, in the name of those four first temptations, people retreat from the requirements of their conscience and make certain bad cases, in the name of this state temptation, the most terrible mass raising, such as executions and war, are supported, and most brutal crimes are supported. Against the majority, as the former slavery and the current exclusion of land in the workers. - People could not commit these atrocities if the techniques were not invented, through which the responsibility for these committed atrocities is so distributed between people, which no one feels gravity. 5. Receiving the distribution of this responsibility so that no one felt gravity, is that the need for power, which for the benefits of people must prescribe these atrocities; The subjects for the benefit must fulfill the prescriptions of power. 6. "I am very sorry about what should prescribe a pavement of the work of labor, imprisonment, expulsion, cautious, execution, war, i.e., mass murder, but I have to do so because this very much people are demanding from me, Passing me with the authorities, "they say people who are in power. - If I take out the property from people, we grab them from the family, lock, execute, if I kill people of someone else's people, I ruin them, shooting the cities in women and children, then I do it not to my responsibility, but because I fulfill the will of the highest power, which I promised to obey for the good of the common. " This is the temptation of the state, or a common good.

The consequences of temptations

1. Sins The essence of the consequences of habits (inertia, animal life). The fastened animal life can not stop and then when the mind has already awakened in the man and he understood the meaninglessness of the animal life. The person already knows that the animal life is meaningless and can not give him good, but in the old habit of the sense and good in the joys of an animal life: satisfaction of complicated artificial needs, in a permanent rest, in an increase in property, in public, in debauchery, inxication and It consumes its mind to achieve these goals. 2. But the sins execute themselves: very soon a person feels, in something good, which he is looking for this way is not available to him. And sin loses its appeal. So, do not be excuses for sins - temptations, people would not touch in sins and would not bring them to that limit to which they were now coming. 3. Do not be the temptations of cooking, the collected family, the temptation of the case, the temptation of the state, not one cruel person could have been able to use the need to use the need for the needs of people, which now enjoy rich people, could not come the rich people to that provision The full physical idleness in which, bored, they live now their lives, forcing, often old, young, weak, to make the work they need. Do not be a temptation of the property, could people without meaning, without a goal to spend all the forces of their lives to an increasing and greater acquisition of property that could not be used, could people, suffering from the struggle, call it in others. Do not be a temptation of the partnership, there would be no hundredth of the stake of that debauchery, which now exists now, could people so obviously and meaninglessly cut off their bodily and mental forces into intoxicating substances that do not increase the energy that reduce them. 4. From the sins of human poverty and crushed by the work of some and the suggestion and the idleness of others; from sins and inequality of property, struggle, quarrels, courts, executions, war; From the sins of the disaster of the debauchery and the absence of people, but from the temptations establishing, sanctifying all this: legalizing the poverty and crushing the sameness and the feasibility of others, the legalization of violence, murders, wars, depravity, drunkenness and bring them to those terrible sizes to which they reached Now.

Deception faith

1. Do not be temptations, people could not continue to live in sins, as each sin execute himself: the people of the former generations would indicate the subsequent destruction of sin, and the subsequent generations would have built, not falling into the habit of sin. 2. But a person used this mind to him not for the knowledge of sin and getting rid of him, but on his justification, and the temptation appeared, and the sin looked around and rooted. 3. But how could a man with an awaken reason to recognize the lie of the truth? In order for a person to not see a lie and take her for the truth, his mind was to be perverted, because the unknown mind unmistakably distinguishes a lie from the truth, which is his appointment. 4. And indeed, the mind of people brought up in human society is never free from perversion. Anyone, brought up in human society, is inevitably exposed to perversion consisting of deception of faith. 5. Deception faith is that the people of previous generations inspire the subsequent generations of various artificial ways to understand the meaning of life, based on the mind, and on blind trust. 6. The essence of the deception of faith is that one is deliberately mixed and put one thing for another concept of faith and trust: it is argued that without faith, a person cannot live and think that it is completely true, and the concept of faith, that is, the recognition of that that there is something that confesses, but can not be determined by the mind, like God, the soul, good, is the concept of confidence in the fact that there is God, it is such that, in three persons, then the world, and That, who discovered people, it was there, and then, and through such prophets.

The origin of deceptions of faith

1. Humanity slowly, but not stopping, moves forward, i.e., everything to the greater and greater understanding of the consciousness of the truth about the meaning and significance of their life and the establishment of life is in accordance with this casual consciousness. Therefore, the understanding of the people of their life and the lifetime of human is constantly changing. People, more sensitive to the truth, understand life according to the highest light, which appeared in them, respectively, this light arrange their lives; People, less sensitive, keep their former understanding of life and the former building of life and try to defend it. 2. So in the world there are always near people pointing to the latest expression of truth and trying to live according to this expression of truth, people who defend the former, who has learned and already unnecessary understanding of her and the previous order of life. 35 How are faithful to faith? 1. Truth does not need an external confirmation and is accepted freely by all those that it is transmitted, but the deception requires special techniques, through which he could be transmitted to people and assimilate them; And therefore, to commit the deception of faith, those that are committed, in all nations, always the same techniques. 2. Such methods Five: 1) True congestion, 2) faith in wonderful, 3) establishment of mediation between man and God, 4) Impact on human external feelings and 5) suggestion of false faith children. 3. The essence of the first admission of the deception of faith is that in words to recognize not only the justice of open people with the latest preachers of Truth, but to recognize the preacher himself, a supernatural person, to complase the preacher, asking him the commission of different wonders and hide the very essence of the open truth so that She not only did not violate the former understanding of life and the situation in him, but, on the contrary, would confirm him. Such a congestion of truth and the generalization of preachers was performed in all nations, with every manifestation of a new religious teaching. So the doctrine of Moses and the prophets of Jewish was broken down. And in this time, the Phariseev reproached and reproached, saying to them that they sat on the commander to Miseyev and they themselves are not included in the kingdom of God and others are not allowed. The teachings of the Buddha, Lao Tce, Zarathustra were also distilled. The same overtaking was made with Christian teachings in the first times of his adoption by Constantine, when the pagan temples and deities were redone to Christian and there was a magomethanism as a repulsion from the Mnimo Christian multi-chicken. The same interpretation was subjected and mugled. 4. The second reception of the deception of faith is to inspire the fact that following in the knowledge of the truth given to us from God, there is a sin of pride, that there is another, a more reliable instrument of knowledge: the revelation of truth transmitted by God directly elected people with famous signs, Miracles, i.e. supernatural events confirming the faithfulness of the transfer. It is suggested that you should believe in the mind, and miracles, that is, what is dismantily reason. 5. The third reception of the deception of faith is to assure people that they cannot have the direct relationship with the bot, which every person feels and who has particularly understood Christ, acknowledging a man with the Son of God, and that to communicate a person with God, an intermediary is required or intermediaries. Such intermediaries put prophets, saints, church, writing, elders, debris, lame, buddhas, wildlife, every clergy. Like all these mediators, the essence of the mediation is the fact that there is no direct connection between the person and God, but, on the contrary, it is assumed that the truth is directly unavailable to a person, and can only be accepted through faith in mediators between him and God. 6. The fourth reception of the deception of faith is that, under the pretext of the commission of required by the god of affairs, the prayers, the sacraments, the victims, collect together a lot of people and, exposing them to various wonderful impacts, inspire them with them, giving it to the truth. They hit people with the beauty and magnitude of temples, splendor of decorations, utensils, clothes, glitter lighting, sounds of singing, organs, smoking, exclamations, ideas and while people are under this charm, try to capture their deception issued for truth in souls. 7. The fifth reception is the most cruel, because it is that the child, asking from the elders who lived before him and had the opportunity to know the wisdom of previously living people, what this world is and his life and what the relationship between topics and other They answer not what they think and know these elders, but what people who lived thousands of years ago thought, and what none of the big more believe and cannot believe. Instead of the spiritual needed by him, the child asks for a child, he is given by the Spangling spiritual health of the poison, from which he can heal only the greatest efforts and suffering. 8. The child, awakening to conscious life with a clear, no clogged mind, ready to take and in the depths of the soul, although vaguely, but the conscious of the truth of life, t. e. His position and appointment in it (human soul in nature by the nature of the Christian, according to the expression of the Turrtullian, Father of the Church), - the child asks the parent since the parent: what is his life? What is his attitude to peace and start it? And his father, or his teacher, does not tell him that small and undoubted that he knows about the meaning of life, but with confidence it says that he is not true in the depths of the soul, "he says, if he is a Jew that God created The world is six days and opened all the truth of Moses, writing a finger on the stone what you need to keep the oaths, remember the day of the Sabbath, cut down, etc.; If he is an Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran Christian, - that Christ, the second person, worked the world and went to the ground to redeem the sin of Adam, and so para; If he is a Buddhist, - that Buddha flew to heaven and taught people to destroy life in himself; If he is a magometal, - that Magomet flew to the seventh heaven and learned the law on which faith in five-time prayer, visiting Mecca deliver a paradise to a person in the future life. 9. And, knowing that other people in their children are inspired by another, parents and teachers report every of their special superstitions, knowing in the depths of the soul, that this is only superstition, - they are transferred to innocent, gullible children at that age when the impressions are so strong that Never have been erected.

Evil originating from the deception of faith

1. Sins, forcing a person at times to make things, opposing his spiritual nature, nasty love, delay his birth to a new true life. 2. The temptations introduce a person to a sinful life, justifying sins, so a person is already doing separate sinful deeds, but lives life with life, without seeing the contradictions of this life with the life of true. 3. This position of a person is possible only when the truth is perverted by the deception of faith. Only a person with a perverted deception of Faith Mind may not see lies of temptations. 4. And because the deception of faith is the basis of all sins and disasters of man. 5. Deceptions of faith The essence is that in the gospel is called a moral spirit on the Holy Spirit and about which it is said that this action can not say goodbye, that is, that never, in no life can not be destructive.

What should a person do to live on the teachings of Christ?

1. In order to live according to the teachings of Christ, a person must destroy obstacles that prevent true life, i.e., manifestation of love. 2. Obstacles to this make sins. But sins cannot be destroyed while a person is free from temptations. Only a person free from the deceptions of faith can be released from temptations. 3. And therefore, in order to live according to the teachings of Christ, a person needs to be liberated from the deceptions of faith. 4. Only free from the deceptions of faith, a person can free themselves from the lies of the temptations; And only with the lies of the temptations, maybe a person will be freed from sins.

Liberation from the deceptions of faith

1. In order to get rid of the deceptions of faith in general, a person must be understood and remember that the only instrument of knowledge that the person owns is his mind and that therefore anyone's preaching that claims anything opposite, there is a deception, an attempt to eliminate the only thing This man of knowledge of knowledge of knowledge. 2. In order to be free from the deceptions of faith, a person needs to be understood and remember that he has no and can not be any other, except for the reason, the instruments of knowledge, - what he wants or does not want to believe that every person believes only , and that therefore people speaking that they do not believe, and Moses, Buddha, Christ, Magomet, Church, the Quran, the Bible, are deceiving themselves, because, no matter what they believe, they believe not to those who pass They are those truths in which they believe - Moses, Buddha, Christ, the Bible, - but believe the mind that they tell them that they need to believe Moses, Christ, the Bible and should not be trusted by the Buddha and Magomet, the Bible and vice versa. 3. Truth can not enter the person in addition to the mind, and therefore a person who thinks he knows the truth to be faithful, and not mind, only deceives himself and does not use his mind on what it is not intended - to resolve issues About who from the transmitting the doctrine, issued for the truth, must be believing and who cannot believe. The reason is not intended to decide to decide who need, and who does not need to believe it cannot be solved, but to check the justice of what is offered to him. It can always be on it and is intended. 4. Fallets of truths say that it is impossible to believe that the mind cannot be believed because the mind of different people claims different things and that therefore for the unity of people it is better to believe in the revelation confirmed by miracles. But such a statement is exactly the opposite of the truth. Mind never claims different. He always claims and denies the same thing. 5. Only faith, claiming different: one that God opened himself in Sinai and that he is the God of Jews; And the other that God is Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva; And the third, that God is the Trinity: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit; And the fourth that God is the sky and the Earth; And the fifth that the truth is open to the whole buddown; And the sixth, that the whole is open by Magomet - only the faiths of these share people, the mind will be the mind of the Jew, Japanese, the Chinese, Araba, Englishman, Russian, always and everyone speaks the same thing. 6. When they say that the mind can deceive, and in confirmation they lead dissenters of various people about the fact that there is God and how to serve him, then those who say this make a deliberate or unintentional mistake by mixing mind with reasoning and fiction. Reasoning and fiction can indeed be and are infinitely diverse and different, but the solutions of the mind are always the same for all people and at all times. Reasoning and fiction about how the world or sin occurred and what will happen after death may be infinitely different, but the solutions of reason about whether the fact that the three gods together make up one, is it true that a person died and then rose, Is it true that man walked on water or flew into the body on the sky that, eating bread and wine, I eat body and blood, - solutions of mind about these issues are always the same for all people and all over the world and always Undoubtedly true. Whether God says that God went on a fiery pillar or that Buddha rose on the rays of the sun, or Magomet flew to heaven, or Christ went a reason, etc., the mind of all people always and everywhere answers the same thing: it is not true. Questions about whether it is right to do with others just like you want to come with you? Is it good to love people and forgive them their resentment and be merciful? The mind of all people and at all times says: yes, right, good. 7. And because not to fall the deceptions of faith, a person should understand and remember that the truth is open to him only in his and mind, given by God to man to know the will of God, and that the suggestion of mistrust to the mind is at its best the desire of deception and is the greatest blasphemy. 8. Such is the common tool to exemplate itself from the deceptions of faith. But in order to be free from the deceptions of faith, you need to know all kinds of these deceptions and beware of them, counteract them.

Only thanks to the establishment of mediation between people and God, they could be committed and accomplished those terrible deceptions As a result of which reasonable and kind people pray to Christ, the Virgin, Buddha, Magomet, Holy, Pleasures, Icon. 5. In order not to fall to this deception, the person must understand and remember that the truth is open to him before and the most right not in the book, not in legend, not in some meeting of people, but in his own heart and in mind how it is I also spoke Moses, who declared the people that the law of God is not necessary to look for the sea, nor in the sky, but in his heart, and as Christ said this, he says that you do not know the truth, because you believe the human legends, and not Who he sent. The God sent in us the mind - one and infallional instrument of knowledge, which is given to us. 6.

It is said that miracles, that is, the supernatural, are committed in order to connect people, and meanwhile, nothing disks people like miracles, because each faith claims his wonders and rejects the wonders of other faith. It cannot be otherwise: miracles, that is, the supernatural, infinitely diverse, only natural always and everywhere one and the same. 3. And because to be free from the deceptions of faith in a wonderful one, a person must recognize the true only thing that is naturally, that is, according to his mind, and to recognize all the fact that unnaturally, that is, contradicts the mind, Knowing that everything that is issued for such is a deception of human, as deceptions of all kinds of modern wonders, healing, resurrection, miraculous icons, relics, the liberation of bread and wine, etc., as well as miracles, about which is told in the Bible , in the gospels, in Buddhist, Magometan, Tauli and other books. 4.

How to avoid temptations

1. Freed from the deceptions of faith, a person would be able to perceive the teachings of Christ if there were no temptations. But also being free from the deceptions of faith and understanding the meaning of the teachings of Christ, a person is always in danger of sign in temptation. 2. The essence of all temptations is that a person who has awakened to consciousness, experiencing a split and suffering from perfect sin, wants to destroy the split and the suffering from him is not a struggle with sin, but justifying it. 3.

For the same to be able to avoid each individual temptation, it is necessary to clearly understand what is false and harm them.

False temptation of cooking (personal)

1. The first and most common temptation, which captures a person, is a temptation personal, temptation of cooking for life instead of life. If a person does not think of himself this excuse for sins, he will always find this excuse, already forward invented by people who lived before him. 2. "Now I can attend time to retreat from what I must and what my spiritual nature requires, because I am not ready," the man says himself. "And then I get ready, the time will come, and then I will begin to live already quite well. according to your conscience. " 3. The lie of this temptation is that a person retreats from life in the present, one actual life, and transfers it to the future, while the future does not belong to a person. 4. The lie of this temptation is characterized by the fact that if a person foresides tomorrow, he must foresee and day after tomorrow and after, after ... if he foresides all this, he foresides his inevitable death. Anticipating his inevitable death, he cannot prepare for the future in this ending life, because death destroys the meaning of everything that a person is being prepared in this life. A man who gone to his mind can not not see that the life of his separate creature does not make sense, and therefore it is impossible to prepare for this being. 5. On the other hand, the lie of this temptation is visible because a person cannot prepare himself to the future manifestation of love and serving God: a person is not an instrument that the other uses. You can make an ax and do not have time to chop them, they will use another; But no one can take advantage of the person, except he himself, because he himself is an instrument, constantly working and improving only at work. 6. Hurting this temptation is that a person who fallen to him does not live not only true, but even a temporary life in the present and transfers his life into the future that never comes. Thinking to improve yourself for the future, a person misses the only improvement to every person in love, which can only be in the present. 7. In order not to fall into this temptation, a person must understand and remember that it is not time to prepare that he should live in the best way now, what it is, that the improvement necessary for him is only one improvement in love, but This improvement is performed only in the present. 8. And therefore it must, not postponing, live all at all on all over their own, real, for God, that is, for all those who make the requirements for his life, knowing that every minute he can be deprived of the possibility of this ministry and that For this, he came to the world hourly ministry.

False and harm

1. Any person, doing some business, involuntarily fonds to them, and it seems to him that for the sake of business, he may not do what he demands his conscience, that is, God. 2. The lie of this temptation is that every human point can be useless, can be interrupted and not to be over; The case of God, accomplished by a person, is to fulfill the will of God, can never be useless and can not be interrupted. 3. Halfing this temptation is that permissible what kind of business is whether this scattering of multiple seeds or the liberation of the whole people from slavery is more important, often the most insignificant on the human court, the affairs of God, that is,. Nowadays and serving neighbor, there will always be cases that need to be completed, which will fulfill the requirement of God's business, and man will forever liberate himself from serving God, that is, the fulfillment of the business of life, replacing the service of the dead - serving the living. 4. The harm is that, having allowed this temptation, people will always postpone the ministry to God until they are free from all the affairs of worldly. From the same world, people are never free. In order not to fall into this temptation, a person must understand and remember that every human case, having an end, could not be the goal of my true infinite life and that such a goal can be only involved in the infinite business of God, consisting in the greatest manifestation of love . 5. And therefore, in order not to fall into the temptation of the case, a person should never have to do such a thing that violates the business of God, that is, the love of people should always be ready to quit every matter how soon he calls on the execution of a business Of God: to be as an employee standing on the master work and the increasing business can do only when his forces and attention does not require a master's business.

Lie and harm the seduction of the family

1. The temptation of this most of all justifies the sins of people. If a person is free from the temptation of preparing for life, the seduction of the case, then a rare person, especially a woman, is free from the temptation of the family. 2. This temptation is that people, in the name of exceptional love for their family, consider themselves free from the obligation to other people and calmly make the sins of pegs, struggle, idleness, lust, not counting their sins. 3. The lie of this temptation is that the animal feeling towards continuing the genus, which is legal only to the extent that it does not violate the love of people, is taken for a virtue, justifying sin. 4. Hurting this temptation is that it is more than any other temptation, it strengthens the sin of the property, it fits the struggle between people, an animal feeling of love for his family; Wars people from the possibility of knowing the true meaning of life. 5. In order not to fall into this temptation, a person should not only not educate the love of his family, not only not to consider this love virtue and not surrender to her, but, on the contrary, knowing the temptation, always be guarded against him not to sacrifice Love to God for love family. 6. Love enemies, love unwashed, you can love strangers without caution, completely giving up this love, but you can not love family so much, because such love leads to blinding and excuses to the sins. 7. In order not to fall into this temptation, a person must understand and remember that love is only then true love, giving life and good when she is not looking, does not wait, does not hope for a reward, as well as every manifestation of life that does not expect award For the fact that it is, and that the love of his family has an animal feeling and good only until it is within the instinct and a person donates its spiritual requirements for him. 8. And because not to fall into this temptation, [man] should try to do the same for all someone else's man to do the same thing he wants to do for his family, but for his family not to do anything that is not ready and cannot do for any Alien. 48 Lies and harm Sedo-a partnership 1. It seems to people that if they, stand out from other people and by contacting the exceptional conditions among themselves, comply with these conditions, they make such a good deed that frees them from the general requirements of their conscience. 2. The lie of this temptation is that, entering into a partnership with one small number of people, people distinguish themselves from the natural partnership of all people and therefore violate the most important natural duties in the name of artificial. 3. Hurting this temptation is that people who have become in the conditions of the partnership, leading to the life of not the general laws of the mind, but their exceptional rules, are more and more removed from the most reasonable foundations of life, become intolerable and tough to everyone Believing to their partnership and, deprive themselves and other true good. 4. In order not to fall into this temptation, the person must displays and remember that the rules of the partnership, installed by people, can be infinitely diverse, infinitely changeable and opposite each other, that any rule, artificially established by people, should not bind it if it can be It is contrary to the law of love that any exceptional relationship with people limits the circle of communication by deprives the person of the main condition of his good, the possibility of love communication with all people of the world. 5. And therefore not only not to enter into any societies, partnership, consent, but, on the contrary, avoid everything that can allocate with others and all other people

Lie and harm the temptation of state

1. This temptation, the most cruel, is transmitted to people in the same way as a false faith - through two techniques of deception: suggestions of lies to children and exposure to feelings of people by external solemnity. Almost all people living in the states as soon as we wake up to consciousness, find themselves already confusing in state collaboration and live in conviction that their people, their state, their fatherland is the best, special people, the state, the Fatherland, for good and The succeeding of which should be blindly obeyed by the existing government and on the command of this government to torment, hurt and kill their neighbors. 2. The lie of this temptation is that a person seems to be in the name of the good of the people may refuse the requirements of its conscience and its moral freedom. 3. Halfing this temptation is that as soon as a person permits the opportunity to understand and find out what good many people, there are no limits of assumptions about the goodness of many people who can find out of any act, and therefore every act can To be justified, and as soon as a person allowed that for the benefit of many in the future you can sacrifice the blessing and life of one person, then there are no limits of that evil that can be committed in the name of such a consideration. According to the first assumption that people can know the future of many of the benefits of torture, the inquisition, slavery are supported in our time, prisons, land ownership. According to the second assumption of Kaiaf, Christ is killed, and now millions are dying in executions and wars. 4. In order not to fall into this temptation, a person must understand and remember that he, before belonging to any state or people, belongs to God, as a member of the World Kingdom, and he cannot add responsibility for Its actions and always only responsible for them. 5. And therefore, a person should never have never, under any circumstances, prefer people of their people or the state - to people of another people or the state, should never make evil to their neighbor due to any reasons for the future of the good of many, should not consider themselves It is obliged to obey anyone, mainly before their conscience.

Fighting sins

1. But, having freesed from the deception of faith and relieving from the temptations, a person still flows into sins. A man with an awakened consciousness knows that the meaning of his life is only in serving God, and after all the habit of sins, preventing and manifesting the love and achievement of the true good. 2. How does a person fight the habit of sin? 3. To combat the habit of sin there are two funds: the first thing is to clearly understand the consequences of sins, - that sins do not reach the goal for which they are committed, and do not increase, but rather reduce the animal of the benefit of a separate person; Secondly - to know with what sins you have to start fighting, with what before and with what after. 4. And therefore, firstly, it is always necessary to understand and remember that the position of a person in the world is such that all the quest for them by the personal good after it awakened a reasonable consciousness, deprives him of this very good and that, on the contrary, he He gets good only when it does not think about the personal good, giving all his strength to serving God. Look for the kingdom of God and the truth of him, and the rest will apply to you. 5. And, secondly, the fact that for the success of the struggle of the habit of sin, it is necessary to know what sin, first of all it is necessary to direct your attention: not to start the fight against sin, which has a root in another unfeesened sin, know the connection and the sequence of sins between by itself.

Sinflow

1. There is a connection and a sequence between sins, so that one sin gives rise to others or prevents liberation from them. 2. It is impossible to free yourself from any of the sins if he aroused the sin of intoxion, and cannot be freed from the sin of the struggle, if a person indulges the sin of ownership, and cannot be freed from the sin of property, if a person indulges the sin of a fever, and cannot be freed from the sin of Blud If a person indulges her sin of lust and idleness, and it is impossible to free yourself from the sin of struggle and property if he indulges her sin of lust. 3. This does not mean that it is not necessary to fight with every sin in every time, but it means that for the success of the fight against sin, you need to know what to start or, rather, with what it is impossible to start to be that the struggle is successful. 4. Only from this inconsistency of the struggle against sins, there is no avail of this struggle, which often struggling in despair. 5. Sin, indulging in whom, it is impossible to fight with any of the sins, there is intoxication, whatever: intoxication of foaming substances, solemnity and rapid, strengthened movements; A intoxicated man will not be overgrown with either a feast, nor with a lust, nor with a blud, nor with power. And therefore, in order to fight with other sins, a person must first of all free from the sin of intoxication. 6. The next sin, from which a person should be liberated in order to be able to fight with lust, carefulness, credit, for a blob, there is a sin of idleness. The more freely there will be a person from sin of idleness, the easier for it to refrain from the sin of lust, the worker, fornication and the power: the person does not need the complication of the needs of satisfying needs, does not need property, less subject to the temptations of forbud and has no reasons or leisure for Fight. 7. The next thing is the sin of lust. The more the person is refrained in food, clothes, the dwelling, the easier for him to be freed from the sin of augment, the powerfulness, fornication: a person who is pleased with small, does not need property, the abstinence helps to fight for Blud, and, without needing, he has no reason for the struggle. 8. Next for these sins is a sin of augment. The more freely the person will be from this sin, the easier it will be to refrain from the sin of the Blud and the sin of the struggle. Nothing encourages the sin of a blud as surplus, and nothing causes such a struggle between people. 9. The next one behind these and the last sin is a sin of the struggle, included in all sins and caused by all other sins and the greatest liberation from which is possible only when exempted from all preceding.

How to deal with sins

1. It is possible to fight with sins in general, only knowing the sequence of sins, so as to start the struggle before those without liberation from which you can not fight others. 2. But in the fight against each individual sin, it is necessary to start with those manifestations of sins, the abstinence of which in the power of the person, to whom the person did not make another habit. 3. Such sins in all kinds of sins - and intoxication, festivities, and lust, and the korear, and the authorities, and fornication, the essence of the sins of personal, those that make a person for the first time, without having a habit of them. And therefore, first of all, a person should be liberated from them. 4. Only free from these sins, i.e., having ceased to invent new means of increasing the personal good, a person must begin to fight habits, a legend established in his sin environments. 5. And only defeats these sins, maybe a person began to fight with sins in innocent.

Fighting the sin of intoxication

1. The purpose of man is a manifestation and an increase in love. Increase, this is done only due to the consciousness of the person of his true Divine. The more the person is aware of his true me, the more his benefit. And therefore, everything that counteracts this consciousness, how to counteract him any excitement, which enhances the false consciousness of a separate life and weakening the consciousness of the true I (as all intoxication does it), prevents the true good of the person. 2. But besides, any intoxication prevents the true good of a person who awakened to consciousness, anyone intoxicating a person and not only does not reach the increase in his separate good, which is looking for a person, indulging in any excitement, but always deprives a person and that animal Goods he had. 3. A person who is still on the degree of animal life, or a child with a not yet awakened consciousness, indulging in any excitement - smoking, drinking, solemnity, dance, receives complete satisfaction from the excitation produced and does not need to repetition of this excitation. But a man with an awakened mind notes that all the arousal flies in it the activities of the mind and destroys the soreness of the contradiction between the requirement of animal and spiritual nature and therefore requires repeat and enhance intoxication and requires it more and more until it all woads in it The mind, which is possible to do, only destroying quite or, at least, partly a bodily life. So the person is reasonable, starting to indulge in this sin, not only does not receive the expected good, but flows into a wide variety of cruel disasters. 4. A person who is free from intoxication uses for worldly life by all those forces of mind who are given to him, and may wonderfully choose the best for the benefit of his animal existence, the person who places intoxication is listened to even those mental forces that are peculiar to the animal to avoid Harm and reception. 5. These are the consequences of the sin of intoxication for the sinning, for the surrounding consequences of it is especially harmful, first, in the fact that for the work of intoxication is needed a huge cost of strength, so that the large proportion of humanity is spent on the production of intoxicating substances and the preparation and construction of intoxicating solemn actions, processions, ministries, monuments, temples, all kinds of celebrations; Secondly, the fact that, like smoking, wine, reinforced movements and especially solemnity make little thinking of people perform, while they are under the charm of these effects, the most ridiculous, coarse, destructive and brutal acts. This is what should be known and always keep in mind a person who is being tempted by any intoxication. 6. To destroy the possibility of initiating temporary intoxication from eating, drinking or special external conditions, or enhanced movements, and the strengthening of this animal consciousness and the weakening of the spiritual consciousness I can not have a single person while he lives in the body. But if a person cannot completely destroy this tendency to excitement, then everyone can bring it in itself to the smallest thing. And this is what the fight against the sin of intoxication is coming to every person. 7. To get rid of the sin of intoxication, a person needs to be understood and remember that the known degree of initiation in well-known times and under certain conditions is peculiar to a person, as an animal, but that, while the consciousness awakened in it, a person should not only not look for these excitations, but try to avoid They are also looking for the states of the most calm, this in which the activity of his mind could manifest itself in the whole of the power, the activity, following which, it is possible to achieve the greatest good, both and the people and creatures associated with it. 8. For the same to reach this state, a person must begin with not to increase the sin of intoxication to whom he is used to and who has become the custom of his life. If there are already well-known inxication habits, repeating in well-known times and recognized by all the surrounding necessary, let him continue these habits, but does not introduce new, imitations to others or thinking about them: if he is used to smoking cigars, let it not be accepted for cigars or opium; If you are used to beer, or guilt, let it not be taught to a more intoxicating; If you are used to bonds on prayer, at home or in the church, or to jump and jumping on jog, let it not be adapting to the new one; If you used to celebrate some holidays, let him not celebrate new ones. Let not increase the means of excitement to which he is used, and he will do a lot to get rid of himself and others from the sin of intoxication. If only people did not enter new techniques of sin, the sin would be destroyed, because the sin begins, when there are no habit in it and it is easy to defeat him, and there have always been, there will be people freed from sin. 9. If a person has already firmly aware of the madness of the sin of intoxication and firmly decided not to increase those customs intoxication who became familiar to him - let him stop smoking, drinking if he had these habits; Let him cease to take part in the celebrations and the festivities in which he first participated; Let stop doing exciting movements if he is used to do them. 10. If a person is freed from those artificial habits of intoxication in which he already lives, let him begun to be freed and from the state of excitement that the famous food, drink, movement and furnishings in it are subject to any person. 11. Although never the person while he is in the body, it is not free from the state of excitement and intoxication produced by food, drink, movements, atmosphere, - the degree of these states can be reduced to the smallest. And the more the person awakened to consciousness will be liberated from intoxication, the more clearly his mind is, the easier it will fight with all other sins, the more the person of the true good will receive, and the more the benefits of the world, and the more he will be promote the good of other people.

Fighting the sin of idleness

1. A person who awakened in him is not a distinctive, self-satisfying creature that can have its own independent benefit, but there is a messenger of God, for whom it is possible for the benefit to the extent that he performs his will. And therefore, a person serve his individual personality is also unreasonable, as an unreasonable employee to serve his work tool, take care of your shovel or braid, and not spend it on the designed work; As stated in the Gospel: "Who keeps his carnal life, he loses its life true; and only spending the crash life, you can get a true life." 2. To force other people to work to meet their needs as unwise, as it would be unreasonable to be a worker to destroy or spoil the tools for working on their companions in order to preserve or improve the instrument that he, spending it, should produce that work to which attached And he and his comrades. 3. But, besides the true good, which man deprives himself, freeing himself from his work and overlapping him to other people, such a person deprives himself and that worldly animal of good, which is intended for a person with natural bodily labor, which he needs to meet his needs. 4. The largest benefit of his separate creature will receive a person from the exercise of his forces and recreation, when he will live instinctively, as an animal, working and resting exactly as much as it is necessary for his animal life. But how soon a person artificially transfers to other labor, having arranged an artificial rest, he will not enjoy the rest. 5. Man worker gets true pleasure from rest; The man is idle, instead of rest, which he wants to arrange himself, is constantly concerned and, in addition, this artificial idle destroys the very source of pleasure - its health, so, relaxing his body, deprives himself difficulty, and therefore, and consequences Labor, true rest, and generates cruel diseases. 6. These are the consequences of the idleness for the sinning; For those surrounding the consequences of this sin, in the 1st, in the fact that, as Chinese saying, if there is one person disappointing, that is, another, dying with hunger; In the 2nd, the fact that people think little, not knowing that discontent people who are idle are trying to imitate them and instead of good feelings they have envious, unkind feelings. This is what anyone who wants to fight the sin of idleness should know. 7. In order to get rid of the sin of the idleness, a person must clearly understand and remember that any exemption of himself from labor he did not increase, but will reduce the benefit of his individual personality, and will produce unnecessary evil to other people. 8. Destroy in a separate animal creature a person's desire to rest and disgust to work (on the Bible the festival was bliss, and the work is punished) is impossible, but the reduction of this sin and bring it to the smallen degree is what the person should strive to get rid of himself from This sin. 9. To get rid of himself from the habit of sin, a person must begin with not to free himself from any work, what he did before: if he did his dress himself, soap underwear, - not to make it do another; If it did without things, the work of labor of other people is not to buy them; If walking on foot, - Do not sit on a horse; If you wore your suitcase, - not to give it a porter, etc. All this seems so insignificant, and if people were not doing this, they would get rid of their sins and aroused suffering from them. 10. Only when a person is already able to refrain from liberating herself from the work performed by him and transfer it to others, a person can successfully begin to fight the hereditary sin of the idleness. If he is a peasant, then not to force a weak wife to do what he has leisure to do, not hiring an employee whom he hired before, not to buy the object of work of labor, which he bought before, but without which others do; If he is rich - let go of the Campner and remove his things yourself and not buy, as before, expensive dresses, if it is used to it. 11. If a person managed to defeat the idleness, to which he was accustomed from childhood, and descended on that stage of labor on which people surround it live, only then can such a person start successfully fighting a born sin of a fever, i.e. For the benefit of other people and then when others relax. 12. The fact that the human life is so complicated due to the division of labor that the person cannot satisfy the needs of his own and his family and that it is impossible to do in our world without using the works of someone else's work - it cannot prevent a person to strive for such The situation in which he would give people more than what takes from them. 13. For the same to be confident about this, a person is needed, firstly, to fulfill for himself and his family what can have time to do, and, secondly, in serving other people to choose things that I do not We like and on which many hunters, as it happens with all sorts of people management, teaching, passioning them, and those that are urgent, which are unattractive and from which everyone refuses, as it happens with every rude and dirty work.

Fighting sin lust

1. The appointment of man is serving God by an increase in love. The smaller the person needs, the easier it will serve God and people and therefore, the more he will receive the true good by an increase in love. 2. But besides the good of the True Life, which a person receives the greater that he will be free from sin, the position of a person in the world is such that if he is given to its needs only to the extent that they require their satisfaction, and does not direct Its mind to increase the pleasures from satisfying them, then this satisfaction gives him the most in this regard affordable benefit. With any increase in their needs, whether they are still satisfied or not, the benefit of worldly life is inevitably decreased. 3. The greatest benefit of meeting your needs - food, drink, sleep, clothes, the bed - a person will get when he will satisfy them as an animal, instinctively and not to get pleasure, but to destroy Starting suffering: the greatest pleasure from food is not when he has refined food, and then, when he gets hungry, and from clothes not when she is very beautiful, and when he is cold, and from home it is not when He will be luxurious, and when he will take him from bad weather. 4. A person who enjoys a rich dinner, clothes, house without need, will get less pleasure than a person who enjoys the poorest food, clothes, shearing, but after he hungry, Owl, Izmok, so that the complication of media satisfaction and abundance They do not increase the benefits of personal life, but reduces it. 5. Exception in satisfying needs deprives a person of the very source of pleasure when satisfying needs: it destroys the health of the body; No food gives the pleasure of the patient, a relaxed stomach, no clothes and no houses warm the poor blood blood. 6. These are the consequences of sin of lust for the sinning, for the surrounding people of the consequences of his those that, firstly, people in need are deprived of those subjects that are consumed to be loss; Secondly, all those unwell people who see the excesses of the loss, but do not see his sufferings, are seduced by his position and enhanced to the same sin and, instead of the natural to all joyful fraternal feelings, are experiencing an agonizing envy and dislike. This should know the person in order to successfully deal with the sin of lust. 7. To destroy in a separate creature of a person, the desire to increase enjoyment from satisfying needs is impossible, while a person lives in the body, but a person can bring this striving to the smallest thing, and this is the struggle against this sin. 8. For the greatest release of herself from this sin, a person must first understand and remember that all complication will not increase their needs, but will reduce its benefit and produces an unnecessary evil in other people. 9. To exemplate itself from the habit of sin, a person must begin with not to increase his needs, do not change what he is used to, not to adopt and not invent a new one, not to start drinking tea when he lived and was healthy without tea; Do not build a new palace when I lived in the old one. Do not do this, it seems so little, and if people just did not do this, then 0.9 sins and human suffering would be destroyed. 10. Only firmly abstaining from making a new luxury into their lives, maybe a person to start the fight against the sins of heredity; Maybe a person who is accustomed to drinking tea and eating meat, or a person who is accustomed to champagne and rubble, gradually take away from what is superfluous, and move from habits more luxurious to habits more modest. 11. And, only having evolved from habits of loss and descending into the degree of poor people, may have a man to start fighting natural sins of lust, that is, to reduce its needs in comparison even with the most poor and absolute persisions. 56 Fighting Sin Korear 1. The true benefit of a person is in manifestation of love, and at the same time a person is put in such a situation that he never knows when he dies and that every hour of his life can be the last, so a reasonable person can not For the sake of care for ensuring the future, which may not come, break love in the present. And this is done by people, trying to acquire property and keep it from other people to ensure the future of their own and their family. 2. But besides the fact that people, doing so, deprive themselves the benefit of the good, they do not even reach the good of the individual, which is always provided to a person. 3. It's characteristic to meet my needs and even prepare the items of your needs, as some animals do, and, by doing so, a person gets the most affordable benefit of his separate being. 4. But as soon as a person begins to declare the exceptional rights to these and otherwise acquired items, so the benefit of its individual being not only does not decrease, but is replaced by the suffering of this being. 5. A person who is relying in providing his future on his work, mutual assistance of people, and most importantly, on such a device of the world, in which people are also provided in life, like birds of heaven or field flowers, can quietly surrender to all joys of life, who began to provide his future property, can not have a minute of peace. 6. First, he never knows how much he needs to provide: for a month, for a year, for ten years, the next generation; Secondly, the care of the property is increasingly distracted by a person from simple joys of life; Thirdly, it is always afraid of seizures of other people, always fights for holding and increasing the acquired and, giving all his life to care for the future, loses the real life. 7. These are the consequences of the sin of ownership for the sinning, for the surrounding consequences of it: deprivation due to seizures. 8. To destroy the desire to hold exclusively for themselves the necessary items - clothes, guns, a piece of bread for tomorrow - almost impossible, but bring this striving to the smallest possible, and in this bringing the sin of property to the smallen degree and is struggle This sin. 9. And therefore, in order to get rid of the sin of ownership, a person must clearly understand and remember that all provision of the future through the acquisition and retention of property will not increase the benefit of his individual being, but will reduce it and produces a large, unnecessary evil to those people, Among which property is purchased and held. 10. For the same to deal with the habit of sin, you need to begin with not to increase the property that provides the future you have, - whether it will be millions or dozens of rye bags for food in the continuation of the year. If only people realized that their benefit and life, even an animal life was not secured by property, and would not increase on another thing that everyone considers her own, and then most disasters would disappear from which people suffer. 11. Only when a person is already able to refrain from increasing his property, he can successfully start the release of himself from what he has, and, only having free from everything hereditary, can begin to fight with sins in innocent, that is, to give another What is considered necessary to maintain life itself.

Fighting the sin of power

1. "The kings reign over the peoples and are greatly, but there will be no way between you," who wants to be the first one, he will be all servant, "says Christian doctrine. According to the Christian teaching, the man was sent to the world to serve God; Serving God is performed by manifestation of love. Love can only manifest themselves through the ministry to people, and therefore every struggle of a man awakened to a reasonable consciousness, with other beings - the struggle, that is, violence, the desire to force another to commit an act, the opposite of his will, is the opposite of the appointment of a person and prevents His true good. 2. But besides the person who has awakened to a reasonable consciousness and confronts the fight against other creatures, deprives himself with this good life, it does not reaches the good of a separate creature to which she strives. 3. A person who lives one more animal life as a child or an animal, fights other beings only until this struggle requires his animal instincts: takes away the piece from another, only until he is hungry, and drives the other from the spot only to those For the time he himself does not have a place, it uses only physical strength on this struggle and, having defeated or being defeated in the struggle, stops her. And, in this way, it gets the greatest benefit that is available to him as a separate being. 4. But it happens with a person with an awakened mind that comes into fighting: a man with an awaken mind, joining the struggle, uses his whole mind on it and puts his goal in the fight and therefore never knows when it stops her, and , enjoys the desire of further victories, causing in defeated hatred, poisoning his life if he is a winner; Being defeated, he suffers from humiliation and hatred. So a man of reasonable, who joins the fight against creatures, not only does not increase the benefits of his separate being, but reduces it and replaces it to them by themselves. 5. The man who avoids the struggle, is, first, is free and can give his strength on what attracts him, secondly, loving others and humble in front of them, causes love in them, and therefore it can use those benefits of worldly life who fall out to his share, while the man is intelligent, who comes into the fight inevitably gives all his life to the efforts of the struggle and, secondly, causing the struggle to fight and hatred in other people, can not safely use those benefits that he won the struggle Since it should not ceasing to protect them. 6. These are the consequences of the sin of the struggle for the sinning; For those surrounding his consequences of sin in all kinds of suffering, deprivation, who suffer defeated, the main thing in those feelings of the hatred that they cause in people instead of a natural or love fraternal feeling. 7. Although never, while he is in life, a person will not free from the conditions of the struggle, but the more, respectively, his person will be liberated from them, the more he reaches the true good, the more the benefits of the world and the greater he will correspond to the good of the world . 8. And therefore, in order to get rid of the sin of the struggle, a person must clearly understand and remember that both the true and spiritual and temporary animal benefit will be the greater the less of his struggle with people and all other creatures, and More will be its humility and humility, the more he learns to substitute the other cheek to hit, and give the caftan to the one who takes the shirt. 9. For the same, so as not to fall into the habit of sin, a person must begin with not to increase the sin of the struggle in which it is: if a person is already in the fight against animals or people, so all life is his carnal Supported by this struggle, let him continue this struggle, without strengthening it, and does not come into fighting other beings - and he will already make a lot to get rid of himself from the sin of the struggle. If people had just did not strengthen the struggle, the struggle was more and more and more than being destroyed, because there are always people, more and more refuse to fight. 10. If a person has reached that he lives without increasing the struggle with the surrounding creatures, then let it work to reduce, weaken the state of hereditary struggle in which every person is in life. 11. If a person has time to get rid of that struggle in which he is raised, let him try to free themselves from those natural struggle conditions in which every person is.

Fighting the sin of forbob

1. The purpose of man is the ministry of God, consisting in manifestation of love to all beings and people; The man, the outstanding lust of love, weakens his strength and distracts them from serving God and therefore, indulging in sex, deprives himself the benefits of true life. 2. But besides the person who places sexual lust in any form, deprives himself the good of the true, he does not reaches the good that is looking for. 3. If a person lives in the right marriage, entering into sexual communication only when children can be, and raising children, it is inevitably coming for Mother of suffering and care, for the Father - care for mother and child, mutual cooling and frequent quarrels between spouses and parents and children. 4. If a person enters into sexual communication without the goal of robing and raising children, she tries not to have them, and having, not to take care of them and changes the objects of love, then even less becomes possible the benefit of a separate being, and a person is undoubtedly suffering, especially Cruel, the more he places the sexual passion: are the relaxation of physical and spiritual forces, quarrels, illness. And there is no consolation that have the spouses living in the right marriage - family and all her help and joy. 5. These are the consequences of the sin of the Blud for Merging, for the other people, they are, firstly, that the person with which sin is committed, the same consequences of sin: deprivation of true and temporary good and the same suffering and illness; For the surrounding: the destruction of children in the bud, detebide, leaving children without charity and upbringing and terrifying evil, whipping human souls, is prostitution. 6. No living creature can destroy the desire for lust; There can not be a person if not to take into account exceptions. It cannot be otherwise, since this lust of this ensures the existence of the genus of human, and therefore, until the highest will need the existence of a human race, it will be in it and forn. 7. But this this can be brought to the smallest and some people can be brought to a complete chastity. And this is the reduction and bringing it to the smallest and even to the chastity for some, as stated in the Gospel, and is the fight against the sin of Blud. 8. And therefore, in order to get rid of the sin of Blud, a person needs to be understood and remember that the fornication is a necessary condition for the life of every animal and man, as an animal, but that a reasonable consciousness awakened in a person requires reverse from him, t. e. Full abstinence, complete chastity, and that the more he will indulge in the little, the less he will receive not only the true, but also a temporary animal of good and the more he will deliver suffering and for himself and other people. 9. For the same to counteract the habit of sin, a person must begin with not to increase the sin of the Blud in which he is. If the chastity man, let him not violate his chastity; If he is married, let him be faithful to his spouse; If he has communication with many, let continues to live like that without inventing unnatural techniques of debauchery. Let him not change his position and does not increase his sin of the blud. If only people performed it, and would be destroyed by the big sufferings of them. 10. If a person has achieved that he does not make a new sin, then let it work on to reduce that sin of the Blud in which he is: let the chawful in fact fights with the mental sin of fornication, let him tried to reduce and streamline sexual communication. Let many women who know many men who know many men will be faithful to chosen spouses. 11. If a person will be able to free themselves from those who are already under the Blud, then let him seek to free themselves from those inborn conditions for the Blud, in which every person will be born. 12. Although only rare people can quite be chastity, let anyone understand and remember that he can always be more chastener than he was before, and may return to the broken chastity and that the more the person will come close to full chastity, respectively, Moreover, he reaches the true good, the more the benefits of the world and the more he will promote the good of people.

Special tools to combat sins

1. In order not to fall into deception, you must not trust anyone and nothing, but only one mind; In order not to fall into the temptation, it is necessary not to justify the actions, opposite truth, life; In order for, not to fall into sin, it is necessary to clearly understand that sin is evil and deprives a person not only his true good, but also the benefits of personal and produces evil in people, and, in addition, to know that the sequence of sins in which it is necessary Fight them. 2. But people know this and still fall into sin. It happens because people do not know quite clear who they are what they are, or forget it. 3. For the same to learn more, clearers more and more clearly and remember who such a person is, there is one powerful agent. The tool is a prayer.

About prayer

1. Since ancient times, it is recognized that for a person there is a need for prayer. 2. For the people of the former time, the prayer was and now remains for most people by appeal under well-known conditions, in well-known places, with well-known actions and words - to God or gods for the context of them. 3. The Christian doctrine does not know such prayers, but teaches the prayer not as a means of getting rid of worldly disasters and the acquisition of worldly goods, but as a means of strengthening a person in the fight against sins. 4. To combat sins, a person needs to be understood and remember about its position in the world and when performing each act to evaluate it in order not to fall into sin. For the other you need a prayer. 5. And therefore, the prayer of Christian can be twofold: the one that understands the person of his position in the world, - the prayer is temporary, and the other is the one who accompanies each of his act, presenting it to the court to God by checking him, - the prayer is hourly.

Prayer temporary

1. Prayer Temporary This is such a prayer, which is a man in the best of his moments, distracted by all life, causes the most clear consciousness of God and his attitude towards him. 2. This is the prayer for which Christ says in the 6th chapter of Matthew, opposing her verbose and public prayers of the Pharisees, and for which a prerequency is a prerequisite. These words show people how not to pray. 3. The prayer of "Our Father", as well as the prayer that Christ prayed in the Garden of Garden, shows us how to pray and what is the true temporary prayer, which, understanding the consciousness of a person about the truth of his life, His attitude to God and his appointment in the world, strengthens his spiritual forces. 4. Such a prayer may be the expression in his own words of his attitude towards God; But there was also a prayer for all people to repeat the expressions and thoughts for all people who lived people who expressed their attitude towards God and the unity of the soul with these people and with God. So Christ prayed, repeating the words of the Psalm, and we truly pray, repeating the words of Christ, and not only Christ, Socrates, Buddha, Lao Tce, Pascal, and others, if we are experiencing the spiritual state that these people experienced and expressed In their expressions that have reached us. 5. And therefore the true temporary prayer will not be the one that will be committed at certain hours and days, but only the one that is committed in the minutes of the highest mental mood, such minutes that find each person who are sometimes caused by suffering or intimacy of death, sometimes They come without any external occasion and which a person should be treated as a higher jewelery and use them for an increasing and greater clarification of his consciousness, because only these minutes our movement is made forward and approaching God. 6. Such a prayer cannot be performed in either meetings or with external influences, but without fail with perfect privacy and freedom from any external, scattering effect. 7. This prayer is the prayer that drives a person from the lowest stage of life to the highest; From the animal to man, from man to God. 8. Only thanks to this prayer, a person knows himself, his divine nature and feels those limits that bind His Divine nature, and, feeling them, seeks to break them and with this desire expands them. 9. This is a prayer that, understanding the consciousness, makes it impossible for a person to the sins in which he fell before, and represents him a sin that before and did not seem sinful.

Prayer is hourly

1. In his movement from the animal life to the life of a true and spiritual, in his birth to a new life, in his struggle with his sin, every person is always to sin in three different relationships: some sins are defeated by a person, they as caught beasts sit on the penalty And only occasionally with their growls remind themselves about themselves, that they are still alive. These sins Nazada. Other sins are such people that a person just saw; Such actions that he did all his life, not counting their sins, and the sinfulness of which had just seen due to the clarification of his consciousness in temporary prayer. A person sees the sinfulness of these actions, but he is so accustomed to commit them, so recently and it was not clear yet, he saw the sinfulness of these cases, which is also not trying to fight them. And there is a third deal of affairs, the sinfulness of which a person clearly sees with whom he is already fighting and who sometimes makes it possible to sin, sometimes does not make a winning sin. 2. To combat these sins and need a prayer for the hour. The prayer of the hourly lies in the fact that she reminds a person in all minutes of his life, with all the actions of him, in which his life and good, and therefore in those affairs of life in which a person else is wary to defeat the animal nature of spiritual consciousness, promotes him in this . 3. The prayer is hourly there is a constant consciousness of the presence of God, there is a constant consciousness of the consciousness of the presence of the seized. 4. Birth to the new life, the release of himself from the ultrasound of animal nature, the liberation of himself from sin is performed only by slow efforts. Temporary prayer, illuminating a person's consciousness, opens him his sin. Sin first seems to him unimportant, portable, but the longer a person lives, the more stronger becomes the need to get rid of sin. And if a person just does not fall in a temptation, hiding sin, he inevitably comes into fighting sin. 5. But from the very first attempts to overcome the sin, a person feels his impotence: Sin entails the whole sweetness of sin habits; A person cannot oppose the sin, besides the consciousness that it is not good to sin, and a person knowing that what he is doing is bad, continues to do this bad. 6. Exit this position one. [Some] Religious teachers see it in the fact that there is a special force called grace that supports a person in his fight against sin, which is acquired through well-known actions called the sacraments. Other teachers have a way out of this provision see in faith in the redemption committed by death for the people of God. Third see this way out in prayer to God about the reinforcement of the person's strength in his struggle with sin. 7. But neither one nor another nor third tool facilitates a person to fight sin; Despite the grace of the sacraments, on faith in redemption, on a sphereful prayer, every person who sincerely began to fight sin, can not not feel all his weakness to the power of sin and hopelessness to fight him. 8. The hopelessness of the struggle seems to be especially because a person who realized the inappropriate sin, wants to immediately free himself from him, which is supported by his different false teachings about the sacraments, redemption, etc., and, feeling the impression of liberation, immediately neglects those insignificant efforts, Which he can do to liberate himself from sin. 9. Meanwhile, all the great coups in the material world are not performed suddenly, but slow and gradual disappearance or increasing, and in the spiritual world, exemption from sin and approaching perfection is performed only by slow counteraction of sin, - by destroying one after another smallest particles his. It's not about the power of a person to get rid of sin who has fallen into the continuation of many years, but completely in power does not make any actions that involve in sin, reduce the attractiveness of sin, put themselves in the inability to make sin, cut off his hand and eyes that seduce him. And do it every day and every minute, and to be able to do it, you need an hourly prayer.

What can expect a person living in Christian life in the present?

1. There are religious teachings that promise people next to them, full and perfect benefit in life not only in the future, but also in this. There is even such an understanding and Christian teaching. People who understand the way the Christian doctrine, they say that once a person to follow the teachings of Christ, renouncing themselves, to love people, and his life would be the incessant joy. There are other religious teachings that human life seen endless and necessary suffering that person must bear, expecting reward in the Hereafter. There is such an understanding and Christian teaching: some see permanent joy in life, others are constant suffering. 2. None nor other understanding is incorrect. Life is not joy and there is no suffering. She can see the joy or suffering only to the man who his i considers his separate creature; Only for this i Maybe joy or suffering. Life in the Christian teaching in his true sense is not joy, nor suffering, but there is a birth and the growth of a true spiritual person, in which there can be no joy or suffering. 3. According to Christian teaching, human life has a constant increase in his consciousness of love. And since the growth of the human soul is an increase in love - the world of God, which is committed by this growth, is committed in the world, who understands his life, as teaches to understand her Christian doctrine, as an increase in love for the establishment of the Kingdom of God, It can never be unhappy and dissatisfied. 4. On the path of his life, joys and suffering for his animal personality, whom he cannot do not feel, can not but rejoice and which cannot but suffer, but he can never experience complete happiness (and therefore can't wish His) and can never be unhappy (and therefore cannot be afraid of suffering and wish to avoid them if they are on his way). 5. A man living in a Christian life does not attribute much of great importance, does not look at them, as for the exercise of his desires, but only as a random, occurring phenomena, as for the fact that it is applied to a person who is looking for The kingdom of God and the truth of him and on suffering does not look at their own as something that should not be, but as the phenomenon as much as the phenomenon as a friction during work, knowing, on the contrary, that both friction is a sign of completing work and suffering a sign Dead of God. 6. A man living in Christian life is always free, because the very thing is that the meaning of his life is to eliminate obstacles that hinder love, [and], as a result, an increase in love and establishing the kingdom of God, [and there is] that what he always wants and that uncontrollably takes place in his life; He is always calm, because with him nothing can happen to what he does not want. 7. Do not think that a person living in a Christian life is always experiencing this freedom and calmness, always takes joy, not fond of them, as something accidental, not wanting to keep them, and suffering as the necessary condition for the movement of life. A Christian can temporarily get involved in joys, trying to produce and keep them, can temporarily suffer from suffering, taking them for something unnecessary, which could not be, but with the loss of joys, with fear and pain, the Christian's sufferings immediately recalls his Christian dignity, his Messenger, and joy and suffering are at present, and he again becomes free and calm. 8. So in a worldly relationship, the position of a Christian is not worse, but the situation is non-Christian. "Look for the kingdom of God and the truth of him, and everything else is attached to you," it means that the world's world joys of life are not closed from a Christian, but they are quite accessible to him, with just a difference that then as the joy of non-Christian can be artificial and move in Sleshings and suffering, and therefore seem to him unnecessary and hopeless, - for the Christian of the same joy is simpler, natural and therefore stronger, never producing suggestions and suffering, can never be so sick and seem so meaningless as they see the non-Christian. Such is the position of the Christian in the life of the present; But what can a Christian expect in the future?

What can a person come to life in the future?

1. A person living in this world in its body shell, can not imagine life otherwise than in space and time, and therefore naturally asks where he is going after death. 2. But this question is erroneous: the divine essence of our soul, spiritual, timeless and non-expatient, in this life imprisoned into the body, leaving it, ceases to be in the conditions of space and time, and therefore it cannot be said about the essence that it will be. She is. As Christ said: "Before Abraham, I am." So all of us. If we are the EU, then we have always been and we will. We are the EU 3. Exactly the same on the question where we will. when we talk whereWe are talking about the place in which we will be. But the concept of place occurred only from that separation from everything else that we are delivered. When death, the separation will be destroyed, and therefore we will be for people living in this world everywhere or anywhere. We will be such for which there is no place. 4. There are many different fortunes about what and where will be after death; But all these fortune tells from the richest to the most sophisticated can not satisfy a reasonable person. Bliss, lust Mohammed too rough and obviously incompatible with the true concept of man and God. Just as incompatible with the concept of God's love and church idea of \u200b\u200bRae and Herde. The resettlement of the shower is less rude, but in the same way keeps the idea of \u200b\u200bthe detachment of the being; the concept of nirvana eliminates all representations rude, but violates the requirements of reason - rationality of existence. 5. So no idea of \u200b\u200bwhat will happen after death does not give a response that would satisfy a reasonable person. 6. And it cannot be otherwise. The question is false. The human mind that might think only in space and time, wants an answer about what will be outside these conditions. The mind knows one thing: that the essence of the Divine is that she grew in this world. And, reaching the well-known degree of its growth, came out of these conditions. 7. Will this essence be continued to act in separateness? Will this increase in love Causes a new division? All this divination, and such fortunes can be a lot more, but none of them can give reliability. 8. One is reliably and undoubtedly - this is what Christ said, dying: "In your hands I give my spirit." It is the fact that, dying, I go there, where I washed. And if I believe in the fact that what I have existed, there is reasonable love (two of these properties I know), then I am happily returning to him, knowing that I will be fine. And not only I do not crush, but I am happy to transition to me.

The first association with the word "Tolstoyan" in the public consciousness - is Nena-B Lia, giving up property, simplification, vegetarianism. "Tolstoy-Tsem" calls himself Ostap Bender in the "Golden Calf", changed his mind taken away from Co-Rey-Co million People's Commissar of Finance: "Also, the Apostle Paul is on-shelter, he whispered, jumping through Dowry garden flower beds. - Besrere-re-nick, S-Sukin Son! Menonite Cursed, Seventh Day Adventist! Fool! If they have already sent the parcel - I will hang it out! You need to kill such hoodies! " "There was a great writer / Lion Nikolaich Tolstoy, / did not eat fish, nor me-sa, / walked by Bosa's alleles," the popular song, who was written on the eve of the war Sergey Christie. Examples, of course, can be set.

Meanwhile, all this is very important, but still the consequences. The starting point of thick-vskogo teachings - the belief that a person must be represented on the sense-Lenie - le life that is outside of him. Without this, he is waiting for melancholy, self-running horror, suicide.

It is known that the housing appears as a result of the spiritual and moral fracture, which Tolstoy is experiencing in the late 1870s. However, at the question-grew, what is the essence of this fracture, not so simple. Many basic provisions of the later teaching of Tolstoy are easily distinguishable in its famous novels: the tense spiritual quest for the heroes, the perfect "natural man" Plato of Karataev in the "War of War", False of Contemporary Marriage and Light-Skivo Relations in "Anne Karenina" (epigraph "Me , and Az Waitee "refers, contrary to popular belief, not to the marital measure, not as such, but to the entire depicted lifestyle - deeply by voice, according to the author). Tolstoy looks at the eyes of Natasha Rostova on the opearance with the same contemptuous bewilderment, with what the Shakespearean "King Lira" takes place with the same contemptuous bewilderment Tolstoy disassembles the "King Lira" in the sketch "about Shakespeare and about Drama" (1904) and, in a challency, he writes about him: "It is absolutely avoing to the provision of the prophecy", "infidental speech", "pompous , Besha-Racter Language. ".

What changes in this case in 1878-1880? The main change - all these thoughts are expressed by Tolstoy now directly, without clearing-house, leaning, stubborn images; Systemati are rising, becoming the main subject of its reflection, the main thing about his life. And most importantly, they are confirmed by the exaggeration of the author's life: Tolstoy becomes the first sweatshirt, turns from the pier in the trigger.

The main accusation that Tolstoy presents the modern world is his redundancy. The development of the state, society, culture, science is on the way of the production of many unnecessary to people of things (be it great absence, fashionable clothes or the music of Beethoven) and thereby takes it further from the natural state. The church is also redundant: it is too many external, formal that the transparency of the initial source is pressed. In general, if you try to formulate the essence of the teachings of Tolstoy in one phrase, it will be something like this: "Everything is a simple person on the Paul-Zu, and everything is complex - rational." Therefore, in particular, need to come back on to the Sermon on the Mount, from dogmatic theology to the doctrine-cal.

The idea of \u200b\u200bpresenting Christianity as a moral sermon, distorted subsequent layers, stories about miracles, the introduction of a fabulous, mythological, mystical element, is very characteristic of contemporary tin. With a close approach, we face, say, in the "life of Jesu-sa" Ernest Renana or in the so-called Jefferson Bible, written earlier Jefferson Bible (1819; Published in 1895) - a book compiled by one of the third US President Thomas Jeff Foodson from excerpts of various editions of the New Testament. She behaves about the life of Nar-Stow without miracles.But for the first time published almost simultaneously with the fat "connection and the transfer of four Gospels." But in the case of a thick, it leads to one important anti-speech. Starting from the conviction that a person needs a support in something else to him, the highest, than he, with the search for a transcendental, his sermon in the end comes down to the thesis "The Kingdom of God within us" (every person himself is a church Attempts to purify the religions from everything that an ordinary person cannot repeat with the help of moral effort. Ultimately - to replace the B-ha "Good Man."

Tolstoy even self-contradictory, and this duality is not a consequence of the changes that happen to him in the second half of 1870 is likely to turnover. Passionate hunter, a combat officer, a lover of women and secular life, he destroyably describes the heroic type of personality in the "war and Mi-re" and other writings, and in the diary constantly confesses to the merges, that is, in disgust for women, and in Freshness to carnal love. Tolstoy - Rather, an attempt to escape from this time-boulder, but not quite a good one. There are memories of how Pianist Anton Rubinstein invited Tolstoy to his concert, he was delighted "and yes - he was completely dressed for leaving," but at the last moment it was doubtful, not about ---- Ti-core is his sermons, and As a result, the hysterical fit happened to him, "So I had to even send for a doctor." Cyt. According to the memoirs of Nikolai Cashkin in the "International Tolstsky Almana". M., 1909.. The contemporary of Iro-Nico notices about this, that it is impossible to imagine Christ or Magomet reflecting-free on the correspondence of their actions by their account.

The "religion" has a lot of sources: Protestantism, the Russian people of nai religiosity, the philosophy of Socrates and Schopenhauer. It is important to pon-mother, that this is one of the first results of dating Europe with Eastern mystics, with the more Lao Tzu, which in the 20th century will have a huge influence on the West culture from German Hesse to rock music. But still, first of all, Tolstoy - the son of its rationalist and anthropocentric era. Herself a rejection of his sermons with younger contemporaries - the first decades and symbols for whom his religious search Oka-nasty-Timo banal (auxiliary at least the famous phrase of DMI-Tria Merezhkov-Sky: Tolstoy fell worse than in Cupid, - in the pit at the painful road, on which the swarm go all " Dmitry Merezhkovsky. "L. Tolstoy and Dostoev-sky. ").

Tolstoy as a religious preacher is generally unacceptable for many contemporaries. We remember the emission of it from the church, about the con flushes with church and secular authorities, about the persecution of his supporters. Therefore, Tolstoy seems to us hardly do not revolutionaries. However, in the struggle of two camps, radical and loyal, which op-redesigned the political and social life of Russia for those years, he was equally far from both sides. Loyalists seemed dangerous anarchist who deny the state and all its institutions. The real revolutionaries, the Social Revision of the Social Democrats, repelled the Tolstsky conviction that the re-device of society - only the derivative of the internal self-cultivation of the person and the social coup in itself will not give anything. Therefore, by the way, Lenin criticizes Tolstoy enough.

Nevertheless, he has a lot of followers from a wide variety of social layers. And the point here is not only in the writing of fame Tolstoy, although in it, of course, too. The most important thing is his sermon surprisingly co-WPA-LA with a spirit of time. It is enough to remember the fate of his nearest co-Rat-Nick and a friend of Vladimir Chertkov, who, being an outcomes from the same social layer, as Tolstoy, at the same time with him, and even a little earlier, came to the same issues, and partly to The same answers and practical conclusions: condemned luxury, moved from the Lord's house to the room in a craft school, began to ride in the third-class wagons, etc. The desire to carecase was generally consonant with the aspirations of many representatives of the highest arist-krai: it is no coincidence that The closest associates of Tolstoy is not only Kon-Nogvardez Chertkov, but also Gusar Dmitry Khilkov, Nautical Officer Pavel Bi-Ryuk-Os, Rooded nobleman Viktor Yeropkin and many others. No less than ha-cancer for the era of movement of sober, pacifists, vegetarians, the same support and sympathy in different strata. The refusal to take into the hands of the army and the fight against drunkenness is the characteristic features of many folk religions-la air movements.

By virtue of all these reasons, the teaching of Tol-Stoy rapidly becomes popular. Tolstov communes, folk schools, pop-tel "in-media" "Mediator" - Publisher, arising in 1884 on the initiative of Lion Tolstoy, Vladimir Chertkova, etc., the main principle of whose work was the release of access-noe for the price of artistic and moral literature for the people.; A new version of "walking to the people" begins, including in Squies with hunger 1891-1892 trot in Central Russia. Firstly infected with hoody are predominantly Southhouse Gubers, Ukraine, the Caucasus. There is nothing surprising in this if you remember that a huge role that Tolstoy himself and his followers took the work on Earth.

Tolstoy does not simply argue the need for every person to occupy-smiling physical, best - agricultural labor (learn that it would be preferably any of us put on Napti and go for a honest). More importantly, he sees it as imperative a religious sense, a kind of supplement to the per-Poveda bliss. Therefore, it is natural that the first and most direct trace of the Tolstovsky exercise was the organization of agricultural communes, where a variety of people worked: aristocrats, crop intellectuals, military, peasants. It must be said that the intelligent agricultural colonies arose before, out of connection with Tolstoy. In the late 1860s - the beginning of the 1870s, the commune of this kind appeared on the Black Sea coast and Kuban, but they did not last long. The new attempt was different from previous massiness and relative unification of the participants: in the Tolstsky commitors went to peasant clothes, and the old and often torn, they were fed vegetable food, led a ascetic lifestyle.

Personal property from the Communards, as a rule, was not: at the expense of the commune they were fed and given clothes when the old wore out, and they took the book out of the library community. The most radical of them did generally refused their housing and shoes, even the lapes, preached the ideal chastity, on-noi - waging the case of the "lustful, darkening truth and enslavement" (in whether, recognizing that he was still better than adultery ). One of the best connoisseurs of the sectarianism of the XIX-XX centuries, Alexander Prug-Wine, Nevlu-tealy called Tolstovtsev "Modern Diogenes".

Insistently of most Tolstovtsy to life on Earth, it is impossible to consistently implement the principle of non-violence (for example, there is an agriculture without use of domestic animals), permanent Li-Tseysian harassment led to the overwhelming majority of pro-projects The organization of the communes turned out to be very short-lived. Excluding - the famous Colony of Crinitsa near Gelendzhik, which existed several decades. The contemporary left the expressive sketch of such a commune:

"It was necessary to bargain a horse in a hydrochloride, and now the person five began to" work ": one dragged the entrance, another arc, the third clamp, and the two tried to" ask the horse in a row. In screams, dugouts were not a fear, and often ended up this "work" by the fact that the horse remained unemployed, for none of the "workers" knew how to bargain her, and she would have been shaped No matter how it did not want to poke. " Cyt. By: Evgeny Baranov. "Tolstovy". M., 1912.

The desire to "sit on the Earth" is accompanied by a strong anticultural on-strict. One writer of the beginning of the 20th century transmits his conversation with a tolly selected, an intelligent doctor who dreamed of burning all the books except the Gospel, as they are "harmful and more dangerous than cholera, every plague." In general, it is generally very distrust of culture, especially for writing culture. Hence the interest in the interpretation, oral sermon. One of the most famous Tolstovians, Isaac Feinerman, who wrote under the Latin pseudonym teneroomo, published several collections of the Tolstoy's expression recorded. He explained his activities just the need to record his conversations with Tolstoy for contemporaries and descendants, where the Indi-Viduality of the teacher manifests itself more fully than in his writings. Probably, this effect orientation Gospel as written-hydrochloric fixing lips sermon.

A separate and very complex topic - the hoodies and tolstoy. Above we talked about the thickness of both the first hoody. But he himself spoke to himself: "I'm a thick, but not a hoodie." It will be more accurate to say, paraphrasing the prutkov goat, that in the writer there was a huge "desire to be fat-camp" - the desire that he never could realize all the same duality of his nature, which manifested itself in a failed trip to Rubinstein concert and Many other episodes. The main oscillation of the Tolstoy, last year, is to leave him from a clear clearing or staying? "It's still painful. Life here, in a clear clearing, quite poisoned. Wherever I come out - shame and suffer ... "- with such entries of his diaries. The conflict of Tolstoy with seven-her begins in the mid-1880s and lasts a quarter of a century, practicing the death of the writer. The ideological differences are superimposed by Imusya-Delicate Disputes: Tolstoy is trying to abandon the copyright, does not obstruct the Jointland peasants to break up the Baroic property; Wife and children pre-taming against.

It is necessary to understand that Tolstoy does not leave the estate not from the habit of the Baroic life, which was accused of misfortunes. On the contrary, he believes that care is too easy to exit, running from his cross instead of ready to carry it to the end. But from the side it is perceived differently. "Of course, we are annoying that the leader of the property, the family and all the" worldly charming "continues to live in the Bark setting of a clear clearing, where the most strict Venea-Tarian diet and" Manual Labor "seem at the end of Kon-Tsov only extra at least" - Ironi-zooked the writer Peter Per-Tsov In the newspaper "New Time" of February 11, 1909.who sharply denied Tel-but was taking into account the Tolstoy and, in contrast to the suppress majority of contemporaries, rather skeptical - to him himself. But confused and ideological followers of Tolstoy. On the eve of the care and death of the writer, the Bol-Gar Tolstovar of Hristo Leisure shall shall be divided with his detective inappropriate: the fact that Tolstoy still lives in a clear glade, "sheeps in the eyes of people all the meaning and meaning of his words and thoughts." Come to the young fields, well, the hoodies feel the unfriendly attitude towards themselves from the station - the Rhons of the wife of Tolstoy Sophia Andreevna and his son Leo Lvovich and are not at least why the "teacher" is not enough for them for them. In essence, they are tre-buzz from Tolstoy, so that he refuses relatives in the root for those with whom he is related to kinship in the Spirit.

On the other hand, some followers of Tolstoy annoyed with their slope ------- Nosta argue about the details of the teaching, ignoring the main thing in it. He Sar-Ka-Steber described the theological controversy about all sorts of not worthy of Melo-Chah - and suddenly his supporters begin to behave the same way. In addition to the one, Tolstoy feels the danger of turning the housing in the "leadership movement", sect. The writer opposes its design, for him the holiase - the me-all structure, organization. Hence, his sharp response to the preposition of two units to spend in 1892 the Congress of Tolstovtsy in Casual Lyan: "Is it a sin to allocate yourself and others from the rest? And is it a good one with ten-kami - the unity with thousands and millihies? " Love Gure HIV Lyubov Gurevich (1866-1940) - writer, Critic, publicist and public act-tel; published Tolstoy in the magazine "Northern Vestnik". Po-minette, as ironically Tolstoy reacted to newspaper communications about the pre-standing congress:

! "That's great .. Yavimsya to this convention and to establish something no - be like the Salvation Army. The shape of the head - Cocardian caps. I may be produced into the generals. [Daughter] Masha Powder Blue Soche Maste ... » Cyt. By: "L. N. Tolstoy in the memoirs of contemporaries. " T. 2. M., 1978.

In this Bor-be with their own fans Tolstoy won: Tolstoyism not turn elk in untroubled by the tenets of the fossil. The same Prugavin with a full foundation stated:

"From Tolstoy, like from the sea, different people leyen once personal morality and religious values. Everyone takes what he is more likelying that he meets his inclinations, his spiritual requests. " Cyt. by: Alexander Prugavin. "About the Lion Tolsti and Tol-Stov-Tzah." M., 1911. 

Moreover, even the boundaries of the very concept of "hoody" are often difficult to establish if not impossible. Contemporaries noted the tendency of supporters of thick to reduce any conversation to any, how complex, the topic to the on-bor of elementary postulates: "All people are", "We are all the children of a single OS," the whole world is the house of God. " It is clear that under such initial data tol-stovtsev can not always be distinguished from other religious teachings. There is an overwhelming interest of the thick and his followers to, Studdists, Molokans, various kinds of "brothers" (lower propo-versions). Especially actively engaged in this one of the most colorful fat Tsev Ivan Tregubov, the founder of the "community of free Christians." And in 1920, Pavel Biryukov offers Soviet power to publish the "Sectant-Nista Nist" magazine.

In general, the topic of mutual influence of the thick and sectarians is complex and multifaceted. Naka Núna experienced to them the spiritual crisis and, especially after it, he always monitors the activity of various senses and sects, from self-similar to larger, delivers in particular their creeds, reads the materials of them, meets research and researchers. However, this Ment of Tolstoy still separates a certain distance from the sectarians. Svido-tel of his meeting with Samara Molokan in 1881 notes how negatively realizes Tolstoy for jokes of Molokan about the clergy and Orthodox ritual Alexander Prugavin. "On the Lion Tolsti and Tolstov-Cah." M., 1911.. In the future, Tolstoy was constantly fond of the one, then the other preaching-com and "popular philosopher": Vasily Suteayev, Alexander Mali-Kov, Timofey Bondarev. But gradually began the opposite. Soon one of the main opponents of Tolstoy, Ober-Prosecutor of His Holiness Sino-da Con Stan-Tin victorious, summarizing the field observations of Orthodox Missio Nerkov, concludes insights.

"As a more fresher, the teaching is more fresher, the hoodie begins to subjugate all the other sective false teachings, little and calmly losing their independence and originality under the influence of his own.

There are many examples. Let us stop more detail on the events in the village of Pav-Lov-ka Sumy County of the Kharkiv province, which POL-STOGO Nikolay Gusev, named the "terrible explosion, thundered to all Roshiy." In September 1901, a group of Pavlovsky sectarians, many years of conflict-making with a local priest and a leakage and exposed to the pursuits-ni-yam (among other things, for the abandonment of the oath to the loyalty to the emperor and from in-s-s-service) , burst into the church, desecrated the altar, broke the Khorugvi, once-beat the icon, overturned the throne, ripped off the hand-held Gospel, Polo Ma La Cross. Upon comes from the church, the pogroms were beaten with furious Tol-Say, arrested, tried and sent to the catguard who are in the link.

The most curious thing in Pavlovsky events is the fact that in the reports of the secular and brass authorities, and in newspaper reports, people who defeated the temple are referred to as Studdists Studdism (from him. Stunde - an hour, for reading and interpretation of the Bible) - the movement of prote-standard focus, distributed to the niverse in the XIX century in South Russian and other provinces of Russia., then with the hoodies, that is, the power, and journalists make it difficult with a clear definition of their religious affiliation. They themselves called themselves "children of God." However, since religious fermentation in the provinces began after the local landowner Prince of Khilkov declared himself a follower of Tolstoy, it is safe to say that "the children of God" if they were not clean with the hoodies, then at least experienced a strong influence of ideas Yasopolyansky preacher. It is no coincidence that the address of the court of court on this case is approved by the report of the court on this case:

"All who received the lands from Prince Hilkova are made in the sectan-tami, are in conversations to the prince, listen to his interpretation of the Gospel in Gra Fu Tolstoy."

Interestingly, with all the rationalism of the hoody, it, hitting the folk soil, turned up with his mythology. Thus, Pavlovsky peasants believed that in the garden Khilkova "the tree grew, bringing good fruits, and who taught the fetus, then he learned what kind and evil" N. Gusev in the magazine "Russian Thought". № 8. 1907..

Another example of such a border religious movement is the so-called dukobor-postnings, highlighted in the mid-1980s from the trad-divoborism environment in a special course under the influence of the fatty sermons. After moving with the help of Tolstoy and Tolstovtsev to Canada, they split over the preventings of the Russian government again. A group of "Sons of Freedom" has been formed in the cut-latte of a new split, which decided to bore with Qi-vivaria with terror. Its members began to destroy agricultural equipment, to adjourn school and power lines. Like the surfactant-fishing events, the activities of Dukhobor-Fluidians refute the prolonged conviction that the preaching of thick cannot be used for the overax of violence.

In general, the hoody is easily subjected to radicalizing transformations. Despite the importance that Tolstoy himself attached agricultural work, some of his followers refused to plow and sow, as it is violence against the living organism of the Mother Earth. Often, the hoodies did not eat not only meat and fish, but also plant food, not only alcohol, but also tea (and the more coffee), refused to call their name and place of birth, for all these forms of state accounting, invented by the state For the creation of subjects. Already mentioned Trestler Tregubov planned his own kind "new baptism" Rus: He dreamed of spending in Kiev "Procession", at the end of which the participants will throw new idols into the Dnieper - Icons and Ho Rugvi.

But, of course, direct violence is indeed extremely non-tech-ter - but, after all, their ethos was built on the exact opposite grounds. Because of the case, when two tents were locked in smelly and stuffy arrests. When one of them began to bother on the door, demanding them to release, the other explained to him that this kind of protest against violence is impossible from the point of view of Tolstoy's teachings, and the first one agreed and recognized his actions with "co-blus-nome and fall."

One of the Indian fans of Tolstoy assured that, live a writer in In-Diya, he would be declared the new embodiment of the Buddha or Krishna D. Gopal Collty. "International Toll-Sky Almanac." M., 1909.And in this statement there was much less enthusiastic exaggeration than it may seem to us now. "Now such a crown is burning over the thickness, as no longer has a one person -" from the foundation of the Earth "and since the beginning of human history. The newspaper "New Time" of February 11, 1909 go-yes., "Peter Perters, he wrote the Russian contemporary, which was very critically believed to the thickness, and therefore it was hardly inclined in a given case to hyperboles.

Tolstoy sermon had a variety of consequences. Not without his influence of Women Nick, for example, the "meetings of the Russian factory-factory workers of St. Pe-Terburg" the priest Georgy Gapona, who was trapped in a hoody still in the half-tav-ski seminary. Tolstoy had a huge impact on religious and sociable-political movements around the world, for example, on Mahatma Gandhi, to Russian literature: so, Pasternak projects his way to the path of thick ("you can not fall into an end, as in heresy , / Into unheard of simplicity "), builds the novel" Dr. Zhivago "is largely according to the sample of" resurrection ". Paphos Earth-Delia as an ideal classes for any person affected the experience of the first Palestinian kibbuts, created by Jews - people from the Ros-Siy Empire, many of which were under strong the influence of Tolstoy's sermons.

Until 1880, and by what he wrote after, pulled a deep abyss. But all this is written by one person, and much of what I am amazed and seemed completely new in the works of the late Tolstoy, already existed in its early writings. Even in the very first, we see the search for the rational meaning of life; faith in the power of common sense and in his own mind; contempt for modern civilization with its "artificial" multiplication of needs; deeply rooted disrespect for the actions and establishments of the state and society; Great disregard for generally accepted opinions, as well as to "good tone" in science and literature; A pronounced tendency to teach. But in the earliest things it was scattered and not connected; After his occurred in the late 1870s. "Appeals" everything was combined into a consistent doctrine, to teaching with dogmatically designed details - treaty . This teaching surprised and scared many former followers of Tolstoy. Until 1880, he was if he belonged, it is more likely to a conservative camp, and now he joined the opposite.

Father Andrei Tkachev about Lion Tolstoy

Tolstoy always at the heart of his was rationalist, the thinker who put mind Above all other properties of the human soul. But at that time, when he wrote his great novels, his rationalism is somewhat dymer. Philosophy Wars and Mira and Anna Karenina ("The person must live in such a way that his family is and his family") is the capitulation of its rationalism before its inherent irrationality. The search for the meaning of life was left. The meaning of life seemed to life itself. The greatest wisdom for the thick of those years was to accept not curling his place in life and courageously transfer her adversity. But already in the last part Anna Karenina Fights growing anxiety. It was when Tolstoy wrote her (1876), a crisis began, from which he came out the prophet of a new religious and ethical teaching.

This is a teaching, the Holustration - rationalized Christianity, from which all traditions and all mysticism are sodis. He rejected the personal immortality and focused exclusively on the moral teaching of the Gospel. Of the moral teachings of Christ as a fundamental principle from which everything else, the words "not oppose evil" are taken. He rejected the authority of the Church, supporting the actions of the state, and condemned the state supporting violence and coercion. And the church, and the state immoral, like all other forms of organized coercion. Condemnation of thick all existing forms of coercion allows you to classify the political side of the Top anarchism. Condemnation is applied to everything without exception, and Tolstoy experienced no more respect to the democratic states of the West than to the Russian autocracy. But in practice, his anarchism was sent to his edge against the regime existing in Russia. He admitted that the Constitution could be less evil than autocracy (he recommended a constitution in the article Young kingwritten after the modernity of Nicholas II) and often fell into the same institutions that radicals and revolutionaries.

Portrait of a lion of Nikolayevich Tolstoy. Artist I. Repin, 1901

His attitude to active revolutionary was dual. It was fundamentally against violence and, accordingly, against political killings. But there was a difference in his attitude towards a revolutionary terror and government repression. Alexander II killing revolutionaries in 1881 did not leave him indifferent, but he wrote a letter with a protest against the execution of murderers. In essence, Tolstoy became a great force on the side of the revolution, and the revolutionaries recognized this, respectively, belonging to the "great old man", although they did not take the exercises on the "non-resistance of evil" and despised the Tolstov. The consent of Tolstoy with the Socialists strengthened his own communism - the condemnation of private property, especially land. The methods that he offered to destroy the evil were different (in particular, voluntary renunciation of all kinds of money and land), but in its negative part of his teaching on this issue coincided with socialism.

Tolstoy's appeal was largely a reaction of its deep rationalism on the irrationalism, which he fell into the sixties-seventies. Its metaphysics can be formulated as identifying the principle of life with a mind. He, as Socrates, boldly identifies the absolute benefit with absolute knowledge. His favorite phrase - "Mind, that is, good," and in his teaching she takes the same place as Spinoza Deus Sive Natura. (God or [that is] Nature - lat.). Knowledge is the necessary foundation of the good, this knowledge is inherent to every person. But it is overshadowed and crushed by a bad fog of civilization and wise. It is necessary to obey only the inner voice of their conscience (which Tolstoy was inclined to identify with the Kantian practical mind) and not allow the fake lights of humanisticity (and then the whole civilization was implied - art, science, public traditions, laws and historical dogmas of theological religion) - knock you down with Ways.

Nevertheless, despite all its rationalism, the Tolstovsky religion remains in a sense of mystical. True, he rejected mysticism adopted by the Church, refused to take God as a person and a mockery spoke about the sacraments (which for each believer is the terrible blasphemy). And nevertheless, the highest, final authority (as in every case of metaphysical rationalism) for him is the irrational human "conscience". He did everything he could to identify it in the theory with a mind. But mystical daimonion. Returned everything again and again, and in all the Tolstsky major later writings, his "appeal" is described as an experience of mystical inherent. Mystical - because personal and the only one. This is the result of a secret revelation, perhaps, be prepared by preliminary mental development, but in essence, as well as any mystical experience, indescribable. Tolstoy, as described in Confession It was prepared by the whole previous mental life. But all purely rational solutions of the main question turned out to be unsatisfactory, and the final resolution is depicted as a number of mystical experiences as repeated outbreaks of inner light. A civilized person lives in a state of undoubted sin. Questions about the meaning and justification arise from him in addition to his will - because of the fear of death - and the answer comes like a beam of inner light; This is a process that Tolstoy described repeatedly - in Confession, in The death of Ivan Ilyich, in Memories, in Notes of crazy, in Owner and employee.

It follows from this that the truth can not be preached that everyone should open it for itself. This is a doctrine ConfessionWhere the goal is not to demonstrate, but tell and "infect." However, later, when the initial impulse broke out, Tolstoy began to serve in logical forms. He himself never believed in the effectiveness of the sermon. It is his disciples, a completely different warehouse, people turned the hut in the doctrine-sermon and pushed it to this and the thick. In the final form, the hoodie almost lost the mystical element, and his religion turned into an eudemonious doctrine - a doctrine based on the search for happiness. A person should be kind, because it is for him the only way to become happy. In the novel Resurrection Anotherly written when the Tolstsky Teaching has already crystallized and became a dogmatic, mystical motive is absent and the revival of Nehludova is a simple adaptation of life to moral law, in order to free themselves from unpleasant reactions of its own conscience.

In the end, Tolstoy came to the idea that the moral law acting through the mediation of conscience is the law in a strictly scientific sense, similar to the law or other laws of nature. This is strongly expressed in the idea of \u200b\u200bkarma borrowed from Buddhists, the deep difference of which from Christianity is that karma acts mechanically, without any interference of the Divine Grace, and is an indispensable consequence of sin. Morality, in the final crystalline hunger, there is an art to avoid karma or adapt to it. The morality of Tolstoy is the morality of happiness, as well as purity, but not compassion. Love for God, i.e., to moral law in itself, there is the first and only virtue, and mercy and love for neighbor - only the investigation. For the Holy Father Mercy, i.e., the sense of love is not necessarily. He must act as if He loved his neighbors, and it would mean that he loves God and will be happy. Thus, the taste is exactly the opposite to the teachings of Dostoevsky. For Dostoevsky Mercy, Love for people, pity - the highest virtue and God opens to people only through pity and mercy. The religion of thick is absolutely selfish. There is no God, except for moral law within a person. The purpose of good deeds is moral peace. It helps us understand why Tolstoy was accused of epicurese, luciferism and in immense pride, because there is nothing out of Tolstoy, what would he worship.

Tolstoy was always a great rationalist and his rationalism was satisfied in a superbly designed system of his religion. But Irrational Tolstoy was alive under the hardened crust of the crystalline dogma. Tolstoy's diaries open to us how difficult it was to live according to her ideal of moral happiness. Apart from the first years, when he was passionate about the primary mystical impulse of his appeal, he was never happy in the sense, in what he wanted. Partially it happened from the fact that it was impossible to live according to his preaching, and from the fact that the family had his new ideas permanent and stubborn resistance. But besides all this, the Old Adam always lived in it. The carnal desires broke it to deep old age; and never left him the desire to go beyond - the desire that gave rise to War and Mir, the desire of the completeness of life with all its joys and beauty. The glimpses of this we catch in all his writings, but there are few of these glimps, because he subordinated himself to the strictest discipline. However, we have a portrait of Tolstoy in old age, where irrational, the full-blooded person appears in front of us in all tangible vitality - Gorky Memories of Tolstom, ingenious portrait, worthy of the original.

August 28 (September 10th, Art.) 1828 was born Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy. This year the world celebrates the 180th anniversary of his birth. Brilliant writer, master of plastic verbal paintings - and the creator of utopian teachings, which can be put in one row with T. Campnellos, T. MORE and N.G. Chernyshevsky, heretic, who acted Christianity. Tolstoy himself explained his Orthodox Church himself with a spiritual coup, which happened to him after the comprehension of the true teachings of Christ. Meanwhile, the spiritual path of Tolstoy was not at all.

Rules of life

The search for his own spiritual path began at a thick little earlier than his "appeal" in "True Christianity", and he came to their chief "discoveries" long before the notorious "coup". Early diaries, which writer led since 1847, and which are a more reliable source than the famous "confession," written in 1882, help the birth and development of his ideas. The accuracy of "confession" was questioned by the Orthodox researchers of Tolstoy's creativity, especially I. Kontsevich, who had noticed that she was contrary to the diary records. "Confession", written in mature years, should be considered as a propaganda composition, where the ideas of housing are set forth in artistic form. Records in the diaries, which were made directly after the last day throughout the life of the writer, were not intended for strangers. And we will find a completely different in them.

From the church and the Orthodox fault of Tolstoy, pretty early. This was facilitated by the situation of childhood: in seven years the child completely orropeled, he was raised by the distant relative of T.A. Yergolskaya. In the "confession" Tolstoy wrote that he was baptized and raised in the Orthodox faith. However, he did not develop a religious feeling, and there was no fervent faith, rather, rather, on the contrary: "I never believed seriously, but I only had confidence in what I was taught, and to what they confessed in front of me; But trust it was very sharp. " Already in the ten-year-old boy, this shaky confidence was undermined by the Sunday news of the gymnasian Volodynki M., who said the discovery that "God is not and that everything that we are taught, alone fictions." It was accepted "as something very entertaining and very possible." The spiritual atmosphere did not have to the church. Dmitry's older brother, who was passionately believed in God, learning at the university, all nicknamed me and raised on laughter; Even the trustee of the Kazan University did inappropriate comparisons with biblical characters, convincing an embarrassed young man to dance. This upbringing was killed in an embryo without that weak religious feeling of a child: "I sympathized with these jokes of the older and took out the conclusion of them that it was necessary to teach catechism, it is necessary to go to church, but it should not be taken too seriously."

But in childhood, the first interest was awakened in the mystery of all-life happiness, not related to Christianity. This mystery, on a family legend, the elder brother Nicholas as if wrote on the famous green stick and buried her in the Yaspolyansky Park (where then Lion Tolstoy bequeathed himself to bury himself). If people open it, she will make them happy. Tolstoy in old age wrote that then believed in the existence of a green stick, on which it was written, what Must "destroy all evil in people and give them a great benefit."

Personal disbelief and refusal of Orthodoxy sent a talented young man for independent search for truth and meaning of life. In 1844, Lion Tolstoy entered the Kazan University, but in 1847 left classes and returned to a clear clearing. Biographer N.N. Gusev tie his departure from the university with what he had to comprehend at the request of professors not at all necessary knowledge, while a young man wanted to freely acquire those knowledge that he was interested. However, this act was directly associated with the beginning of the formation of the 18-year-old thickness of his own worldview and with dissatisfaction with the surrounding reality: "I clearly saw that the random life, which most of the secular people takes a consequence of youth, is nothing but a consequence of the early Decorate the souls, "he writes in the diary in March 1847. And the first key conclusion made by him in search of the right life - crucial mind: "Everything that in accordance with the primary ability of a person is reasonable, will be in accordance with all that exists."

The next postulate to which Tolstoy came, became perfectionwho appeared his answer to the question of the true sense of life. This conclusion made by Tolstoy in April 1847 will remain in his later teaching: "The goal of a person's life is all sorts of helping to the comprehensive development of the entire existing one." Young Tolstoy decided to engage in improving himself by the program specially developed by him. The rules were drawn up to develop all the abilities: bodily, mental, moral and mental qualities and especially strong will. Judging by the diaries, the "rules of life" captured a thick whole, but the religious issues had not yet in front of them. He finally burned out in everything that heard about it in childhood, although the entry in the rule "for the development of the will of the sensual" shows that the tolstovsky attitude to God began to develop: "I do not recognize the love of God, because you can not call the feeling that the feeling that We have to ourselves similar, or lower beings, and feeling to the highest, not limited to any space, nor in time, nor in force and incomprehensible creature. "

In a few years, Tolstoy survived the secret religious experience, which would seem to have to convince him in many respects. In June 1851, being in the current army in the Caucasus, he experienced a very strong, fertile feeling on prayer: "I wanted to merge with the creature comprehensive. I asked him to forgive my crimes; But no, I did not ask for this, for I felt that if it gave me this blissful moment, it was forgiven me ... I thanked yes, but not words, not thoughts. I combined everything in one sense - and prayer, and gratitude. The feeling of fear completely disappeared. None of the senses of faith, hope and love I could not separate from the general feeling. No, here it is, the feeling that I experienced yesterday is love for God. Love connecting everything good, denying everything bad. " Survived strong, non-influxful Religious feeling caused a thick state of confusion and deep shock, he briefly reverses from the claims of clarity and intelligence, and from himself: "How dare I think that you can know the Ways of Providence ... The mind is lost in these abnumbs of wisdom, And the feeling is afraid to insult him. I thank him per minute of bliss, which showed me the insignificance and greatness of my. I want to pray, but I do not know how; I want to comprehend, but I do not dare - I indulge in the will! "

From here, the Tolstsky sovereign begins (in the "confession" Tolstoy refers it to a much longer time). A year after his religious experience, he finds the meaning and the law of life in good Which, in turn, by the clearness of spiritual perfection: "There's bad for me, that bad for others. Good for me what is good for others ... The purpose of life is good. The remedy for good life is knowledge of good and evil ... We will be kind when our forces are constantly fixed to this goal. Satisfying your own needs is good only to the extent that it can contribute to the good of the neighbor. " The commitment of good for others is the good, in which a reasonable comprehension by the man of the meaning of life is connected with his moral life behavior. Do good have a great key to corrected evil in human nature: "A person who will understand the true good will not desire another." Egoism, "Animal", "Plotskaya" Unceous life is evil. Tolstoy remains the faithful of its idea of \u200b\u200bperfection, rethought in a new way: "Moreover, not to lose one minute for the knowledge of the doors of good, there is perfection." This thought is traced in the prayer of the Tolstoy, compiled by him: "God, save me from evil, that is, you save me from temptation to create evil, and give me good, that is, the opportunity to do good. Will I experience evil or good? - Yes, there will be your will! "

However, the noticeable wonderful experience did not led the writer to faith, because he could not embrace him mind. God remained a riddle for Tolstoy, who dreamed of to bring the concept of it as clear as the concept of virtue, but came to the conclusion that "it is easier and easier to understand the eternal existence of all over the world with his incomprehensibly fine order than the creature that created it." As a result, he refuses to recognize the existence of a personal God, because it contradicts reason and because this concept did not fit into a practically finished system of Tolstovsky ideas. Then he will eliminate the very possibility of prayer. Mystic was unacceptable for him.

Young Tolstoy is looking for a great application of his strength, feeling that "is born not in order to be like everyone else." And already in March 1855, these searches lead it to a grand utopian plan, the implementation of which he decided to devote life, - "The basis of a new religion corresponding to the development of mankind, the religion of Christ, but purified from faith and mystery, the religion of a practical, which does not promise future bliss, But giving bliss on earth. " Five years later, during the funeral of his beloved brother, the idea gained a concrete form - "Write the Motherlystic Gospel, the life of Christ-materialist" - a form, quite fitting his own thought of Tolstoy.

Such is the essence of the "clean", not yet transferred to the Christianity of the Treaty, formed by the mid-1850s, which will develop during the future of his life, folling with new content, but will never change in its essence. In the "confession" there is not a word about all these searches and conclusions. Having settled retrospectively his life as a path to religion, Tolstoy is largely creating an artistic myth, the main task of which is to show the way to truth, from darkness and evil - to light and good, and the items to convince the reader in the truth of his teaching . According to this concept, the life of thick is divided into two periods. In the first, before the beginning of the 1870s, he lived in society according to his laws, and if he had aspirations for good, he hid them from others, no faith he had anything other than "abstract perfection", Which soon changed vanity, and then faith in progress. The spectacle of the death penalty in Paris and the death of a beloved brother in 1860 gave rise to the "Consciousness of insufficiency for the life of progress superstition" (as we remember, then it was already painted by the thought of writing a materialistic gospel). He gradually convinced that there was no meaning in life at all, and almost committed suicide. Philosophy and science did not give him a response to the question: "Why do I live?" Then he turned to "ordinary people" and saw that they live faith, from which he refused to benefit the mind.

After the first stage of life "in evil" and the experience of the crisis in the late 1870s - early 1880s, the second stage comes: appeal to Christianity, spiritual coup and gaining true life. Periods of "old" and "new" life, says Tolstoy, are opposed to their essence. "Five years ago, I believed in the teachings of Christ - my life suddenly changed: I stopped wanting to want that before I wanted to want what I didn't want to ... Good and evil with places. All this happened because I understood the doctrine of Christ did not understand it before, "he writes in another software treatise" What is my faith ". So, the comprehension of the "true" teaching of Christ is the essence of the spiritual coup of Tolstoy, as he himself writes about it. I climb a little further, we mention that by this time Tolstoy brought a long-desired concept of God: "After all, I live, really live only when I feel it and looking for him. So what am I looking for another? - cried in me voice. - So here he is. He is, without which it is impossible to live. Know God and live - the same thing. God has a life. "The toll, denying the personal" carnal "of the God-Creator and Christ-Logos, believed in God's God as the basis of the" Disassembly of Life ", as the beginning of everything as the spiritual principle in man. God of Tolstoy - impersonal; "It's like to pray to him to pray to the sun or the sky, and ask him about anything like to ask for help or giving the heavenly shine." But people have the sons of this God with their spiritual start. So the Tolstovsky crisis ended, which at the same time completed his bomochetia.

Tolstoy approached Christianity with ready-made ideas. Of course, he suffered and rushed, trying to understand the church, but nothing but confirming his thoughts, I did not look for it. He came to the temple for a simple, worker, "creating life" people. In the folk faith, Tolstoy attracted knowledge of the meaning of life, which he considered true, for he was "clear and close to His heart:" The task of a person in life is to save his soul; To save your soul, you need to live in God, and to live in God, you need to renounce all the ruins of life, work, humble, tolerate and be merciful. " This true meaning people draws from their faith, and then Tolstoy took the folk faith, that is, began to go to the temple and diligently perform all the "rites", without seeing in them any sense and considering all this "strange": the sacraments, church services, the two-month Holidays, posts, worship of relics and icons - what symbolizes faith in God, who did not have any thick. After all, he did not consider Jesus Christ by God.

In the "confession" he admitted that the theology seemed to him "near unnecessary nonsense", and it "does not climb into a healthy head", but then he as if he decided to obey everything with various sophistic tricks. For example, his eldest son Sergey recalled that his father decided to "take dogmatic, sacraments and miracles to faith, with humility, as the mind of individuals should submit to the mind of the Cathedral - Church."

And then the main thing was revealed: not rationalism, as many researchers believe, namely, their own ideas did not let the church in the church. He argued that the teaching of Christ, "in which love, humility, humiliation, self-satisfaction is preached, humility, humiliation, self-satisfaction and retribution for evil," in the name of which he, Tolstoy, and subordinate herself to the church in the gospel of Christ. "Submitting" the same church, Tolstoy noted that this side of Christianity is not the main thing in the teachings of the Church: "I noticed that what I seemed to be the most important in the teaching of Christ, is not recognized by the Church most important." The teachings of the Church of the Personal God-Creator, Christ-Savior and his resurrection, Tolstoy, according to his own words, was "no need." And therefore, the "completely incomprehensible" the sacrament of the Eucharist has become a prescriptor. The commission of this sacrament without the slightest sincere feeling was hit by the imaginary church of Tolstoy: "And knowing in advance what awaits me, I could no longer go another time."

Then, by subside by the church, the moral foundation and the reproach of the Church in the oblivion of Christ, Tolstoy wrote that he pushed him and the approval of the church of the persecution, executions, wars, and the rejection of other denominations, but the main thing was that the "indifference" to the christianity christianity elected : "I needed a way to life based on Christian truths, and the church gave me the rules of life, alien to me are alien to me. The rules given by the Church about faith in the dogmas, about compliance with the sacraments, posts, prayers, I did not need, and the rules based on Christian truths were not. " As can be seen, he already knew these "Christian truths".

"Justice of good"

Tolstsky criticism of the church shows that he did not understand the subject that he wrote about. So, for example, he came to the conclusion made from the study of the "strictly logical theory of theological theory", which would be whatever, "after Christ, a person is freed from sin, that is, that a person is no longer needed to illuminate his life and choose what is better for him . He needs to believe only that Christ redeemed him from sin, and then he is always sickless, that is, perfectly good. According to this teaching, people should imagine that they are powerless about them and that they are also sinless, that is, they cannot be mistaken. A truly believer should imagine that from the time of Christ the Earth will give birth to easily, the children will cause without flour, there are no diseases, there is no sin's disease, that is, no mistakes. " Observing this, according to Archbishop John (Shakhovsky), caricature for Christian teachings, Tolstoy concludes that it is nonsense. "Whoever believes in God, for that Christ can be God," he explains in the "criticism of dogmatic theology," because the faith in Christ, as in God completely distorts the "true" meaning of his teachings.

"Dear Christian Truths" were selected by Tolstoy at his own discretion: only what was an example of a reasonable improvement in good without faith and mystery and bestowed bliss on earth. This led Tolstoy to the teachings about the Kingdom of God, which should come in this world, that is, to utopia. I carried out the thick and most intimate, global plan: in the independent translation of the Gospels from the ancient Greek language and in the information of their "in meaning" in one text (which was done in 1879-1884) appeared to the Tolstoy's own teaching.

Therefore, to reading the Gospels, Tolstoy approached with two pencils: blue to emphasize the right, red - cross out unnecessary. After all, the Gospel created ignorant people who are not free from superstitions and naive dreams; They wrote a lot of "unnecessary", hawped Jesus Christ by different myths, and then the Church, finally distorting the true teachings of Christ, elevated him into mysticism. Hence the task of choosing from gospel texts what Christ himself said, and what was attributed to him.

First of all, Tolstoy completely abandoned the relationship of Christianity with a Old Testament, which leads to a contradiction between faith in the "external, carnal Creator" and the expectation of the Messiah and a simple and clear Christian truth without mysticism. Tolstoy struck out all the stations about the wonders of the Savior, whom he considered ordinary man. The Tolstsky Gospel "in meaning" ends with the death of Jesus on the cross, when he, "bowing his head, betrayed the Spirit." Further gospel stuffs about the burial, resurrection, the appearance of the apostles and ascension were drawn up thick as "unnecessary" (his favorite word), contrary to a reasonable understanding. The question of immortality Lion Tolstoy, judging by the memories of contemporaries, decided to the end of life. He was confident that a person after death "connects with his father" in any way, but will not have personal Resurrection and continuation of personal existence in the afterlife, since the presence of the brushless soul did not recognize. "Resurrection of the Dead" by his interpretation means the awakening of the spiritual essence in man and the beginning of the life of a true liberation of the "carnal" life. Evangelskaya Stroof " And I resurrect him on the last day. " Tolstoy translates as "and excite it to the last day." Tolstoy thoroughly emasculated the divine content, writing to a galum. Everything keeps on allegory, all phrases acquire another meaning, everywhere - the interpretation of the text according to the original ideas, which caused its striking poverty.

The word "Gospel" - "good news" - Tolstoy translated as a "prosecution". Christ is different from the Evangelical Christ, first of all, what He does not say (from the Gospel is crossed out), secondly, what He says (left and translated), thirdly, the fact that he speaks purely fat truths, sort of: "To understand me, you should understand what my father is not the fact that your father, the one you call God. Your father is a carnal authority, and my father is the spirit of life. Your father God is the god of vengeful, man bike, the one who executes people, and my father gives life. And therefore we are a different father of children. " Christ Tolstoy - the enemy of the church and mystics. He himself does not consider himself a messiah and the meaning of his teaching sees in disprove the Jewish faith in the Creator and give the truth about good instead of her. He is an ordinary man, an ancient sage, who who felt the truth, whose personal example is self-sacrifice - people must follow to achieve universal happiness. Everything Christ said about himself as a son of God, in the Tolstov interpretation applies to all people without exception, because, according to the Gospel, every person is the Son of God (Tolstoy allowed himself so simple and clear conclusions). People nicknamed Him Christ (the anointed man of God) in the sense that he learned about the sown to God "announced the true benefit."

Tolstoy turns Christianity into the philosophical utopia of the state and about the future of the ideal society. He draws the image of the kingdom of God to come true on Earth. The Tolstovsky Gospel gives the same utopian image of the world, which gives the descriptions of the cities of "Solariyev" or "Utopians". Jesus Christ from Tolstoy is not just a fanatic, a dreamer, a martyr, idealist, the first among the equal fastening truth. He, like Morovsky Rock, the discoverer of this divine law, the creator of the teachings on the Kingdom of God on Earth, which argues to people about the meaning and human life, and human history.

"He told them: I am a man, the son of a father of life. Any man in the spirit of the Son of the Father. And if he lives, fulfilling the will of his father, he connects with his father. " Each person gives God by his beginning, which gives a man the wise of life, drives him to God and gives him a "true, infinite life." The divine start coexists and configures in a man with an evil "animal", "carnal" by the beginning, the source of any evil, which is also impersonal too. You can see here all the same early Tolstovsky dualism. As people in the true life of the Spirit and the fulfillment of the Law of God in the world will realize the kingdom of God, which is "erected as bliss."

What is the law of God? Tolstoy singled out in the gospel to the Nagorno sermon as the essence of the law of Christ and opposed it to the Nicene symbol of faith as the essence of Orthodoxy. It is explained to such a selection by the fact that the commandments of the Nagorno Protection are expressed that new, compared with the laws of Moses, which brought exactly Christ. The main thing was the law on the failure of evil by violence, delivering humanity from his own evil: do good in response to evil, and evil eradicates. In total, Tolstoy established the five commandments in Christianity, the execution of which gives the realization of God's kingdom (1. Do not hurt anyone and do so as not to initiate evil. 2. Do not help women; not to leave that wife, with what came out. 3. Not to shave in anything. 4. Do not oppose evil, do not judge and not sue. 5. Do not distinguish between your fatherland and strangers, "because all people are children of one father"). The essence of the teachings of Christ outlined in the most compressed form, Tolstoy considered the prayer "Our Father". He offered his "translation" of prayer. This "translation" is the quintessence of Tolstsky ideas. Here it is.

Our Father - Man - Son of God.
Others like the sky - God is an infinite spiritual start of life.
Yes your name is yours - May it be holy by the beginning of life.
May your kingdom - May his power come true in all people.
Will be the will of your yako in the sky - And yes, the will of this endless began as in itself;
And on the land - So in the flesh.
Bread our urgent gone to us - Life temporary is the food of life true.
Dnees - Life is true - in the present.
And we leave us our debts, Jokese and we leave our debtor to our. - and do not hide this true life of the mistake and misconception of the past,
And do not enter us in temptation - And yes do not enter us into deception.
But get rid of us from the evil - And then there will be no evil,
Yako is your kingdom and power and glory - And your power and power and mind will be.

It is interesting to celebrate another detail. The translation of the Gospels and the interpretation of their meaning is made to Tolstoy, this outstanding Word Master, delicate Simplified, rude, blasphemous, sometimes with fading expressions, vulgar. Tolstoy, of course, was addressed to a simple reader, but it is unlikely that the matter is unlikely to present, because it is about the work of 800 pages, half of which are church and fat comments on the translation and interpretations of genuine gospel verses. It seems that this is also an artistic technique: deliberate rudeness and simplicity expresses contempt for the surrounding "false life", intentionally quality The essence of Christian truth and demonstrating all the simplicity and clarity of life in contrast to the complex mystical church feedback. After all, the theorist of the world attributed to Christ, the lion itself is Tolstoy. And in the teaching on the kingdom of God on Earth, he embodies his secret idea about the mind and perfection, proclaimed "perfection internal" - spiritual and "perfection external" - social. Following the reason for the achievement of the good - "there was always the teaching of all true teachers of mankind, and this is all the teachings of Christ."

Christianity and the kingdom of God on Earth have their opposite: this is the state and its institutions - from the church, ships, army, police, property, state borders, wealth to unnecessary art. All this in the Tolstsky Gospel directly prohibits Christ. Like such concepts as Patriotism and Fatherland: the stanza "love your enemies" Tolstoy translated as "enemies of your fatherland", calling for love them, do not fight with them and give them what they came for.

The kingdom of God will come on Earth as a consequence of a personal feat of people who have chosen the true life and who took the religion as a "leadership to action", and will be achieved by improving the good, execution of the five commandments, self-denial, self-sacrifice following the example of Jesus Christ, who learned "to give his carnal life As a ransom for the life of the Spirit "and the dead for the truth, open people. Internal perfection is the implementation of the spiritual principle in man, that is, "the merger of the Divine Essence, which is in the soul of every person, with the will of God." The ideal of this endless perfection is indicated by people in the "endless improvement of the Heaven's Father, which is characteristic of arbitrarily strive to anyone."

As the ideal performed in human souls, external perfection will be carried out in human souls: the kingdom of God will be embodied on Earth in an adequate, fair social strictly, which inevitably change the false state and "unnatural" urban civilization. "The execution of the teachings is only in motion on the specified path, in approaching the perfection of the internal - imitation of Christ and the external to establish the kingdom of God." In Tolstoy, such a social ideal is the peasant agricultural communities living on full self-sufficiency with personal diverse, evenly alternate labor.

People must sabotage the state peacefully, refuse any participation in his structures, persogently suffering all the deprivation and persecution; Leave the city and settle on the land by communities, returning to the most true, just and joyful work. A man held in true life, after death, is waiting for an unknown "merger with the Father", and the deceased, not awakened - destruction.

The translated and informed "in meaning" in the unified text of the Gospel was the declaration of the ideas of the most thick. Every controversy and criticism did not make sense, because the objective translation into the task was not included. Orthodox thinkers indicated their unfairness. Saint John Kronstadtsky noted: "The Savior's saying is taken and it is attached to him the desired meaning and meaning, without proper relations with other places of Divine Revelation, with other sayings of the Savior." Father George Florovsky saw that Tolstoy twists the Gospel with his personal opinion. Tolstoy not just interpreted Christian truths in his own way. He created his own slender teaching, outlined him in his Gospel as in the artistic work, quoted in a variety of other works. What was the manifest of holiance than reading the Russian intelligentsia: about life in lies, the martyrdom to the truth, spiritual coup, about finding faith, sincerely adopting Christ in the heart and comprehending His true teaching - all this exalted fat, donated his glory of the prophet And forced to seriously refer to his sermon.

The reaction of society was phenomenal. Many fans called Tolstoy "screaming conscience of mankind" and congratulated the excavation from the church, seeing the sufferers in him for Christ. Merezhkovsky explained that he supported Tolstoy for the preaching of Christianity in life and life: "If you have left the church of L. Tolstoy, then we will excite us all, because we are with him, and we are with him because we believe that with him Christ . But Tolstoy and Tops have a lot of opponents. Some called him a genius of poverty, others by the Yasnocation Palace, accusing Tolstoy in moral shuttless, because he deprived a man of faith in salvation and eternal life. I. Kontesech, who studied the origins of the Tolstovskaya "mental disaster", who studied the origins of the Tolstovskaya "mental disaster", who studied the origins of the Tolstovsky "spiritual catastrophe": "This is the inner secret force that leads the move of his whole life. Not free in search of truth and mind; Submitting the main passion, Tolstoy is her slave, her victim. The feeling of own excellence makes Tolstoy from the younger years strive to become a teacher of mankind. To this end, he conceived the creation of a new, higher, excellent religion, must make mankind. So the gospel is sacrificed to this passion. Moloha, reigning in the heart of Tolstoy. "

Lion Nikolaevich Tolstoy (1821 - 1910) Great and as a writer, and as a thinker. He acts as an attitude of non-violence concept. His teaching received the name of the hoodie. The essence of this teaching was reflected in many of his works. Tolstoy has their own philosophical writings: "Confession", "What is my faith?", "The Way of Life", etc.

Tolstoy with a huge force of moral condemnation criticizing government agencies, court, economy. However, this criticism was contradictory. He denied the revolution as a method of solving social issues. Historians of philosophy believe that "entering into some elements of socialism (the desire to create a hostel of free and equal peasants at the site of the landlord and the police-class state at the site of the landlord and the policeman, the teaching of thick, however, idealizes the patriarchal life system and considered the historical process in terms of" eternal ", "The initial" concepts of the moral and religious consciousness of mankind. "

Tolstoy believed that the deliverance from violence on which the modern world was holding, perhaps on the ways of non-resistance of evil violence, based on a complete abandonment of any struggle, as well as on the basis of the moral self-improvement of each individual. He emphasized: "Only non-resistance to evil violence leads humanity to replacing the law of violence by the Law of Love."

Considering power evil, Tolstoy came to the denial of the state. But the abolition of the state, in his opinion, should not be carried out by violence, and through the peaceful and passive evasion of members of society from any state duties and posts, from participation in political activities. The ideas of Tolstoy had wide circulation. At the same time, they were criticized on the right and left. Rightly criticized the criticism in the address of the church.

"

The ideas of Tolstoy During the revolution, they were condemned by revolutionary, as they were addressed to all people, including their themselves. At the same time, which is a revolutionary violence against the resisting revolutionary transformations, the revolutionaries themselves wish themselves for someone else's blood, so that violence is not manifested in relation to themselves. In this regard, it is not surprising that there are no ten years after the revolution, as the publication of the full collection of Works L. N. Tolstoy was taken. Objectively, the ideas of Tolstoy contributed to the disarming of those who were revolutionary violence.

However, it is unlikely to legitimately condemn the writer for this. Many people experienced the beneficial influence of Tolstoy's ideas. Among the followers of the teachings of the writer-philosopher was Mahatma Gandhi. The American writer U. E. Houels, who wrote, was also among the fans of his talent, who wrote: "Tolstoy - the greatest writer of all times, at least because his work is more like the spirit of good, and he himself never denies the unity of his conscience and of his art.
