Wonder Hunter

Day 3. 02/11/26

The most important Wonder of the day: a lot of information came in about where to dispose of what remains from everyday life in the city where my body is currently located and where I am practicing.
I can now empty the “trash bin” about 90% cleanly for the Planet. There are specific stages to the practice here, and I managed to make a powerful shift in this area of my life—bringing even more Love into the Space.
There are like-minded people here, and this is very important at the stage of gaining stability.

“A rose is beautiful precisely because it is real.”

Today I suggest that you reflect on one of my phrases.

How do you understand it? What meaning do you see in these words?

Write in the comments. You can keep it brief, in a single sentence, or share your thoughts in more detail.

For now, I’ll leave the quote without explanation—I’m interested in hearing your understanding specifically.

In a few days, I’ll publish a separate post and explain what I meant by this phrase.

The author of the quote is Sergey Veretennikov.

Original on the “Your Yoga” website:
https://youryoga.org/book/om_shanti_aphorism/aphorism-2.htm

In a living rose, there is sincerity, breath, tenderness, and the very pulse of life. Its beauty and charm are genuine.

Hunting for miracles.
My greatest miracle is my daily Sadhana. 🩷
It is difficult even to imagine all the magic contained in this journey, and the more I perform Sadhana, the more I understand what happiness, good fortune, and blessing it is.
I thank You, OM Shanti, for this blessing and protection!

The weather here is snowy, and the sky is completely covered with a veil. In the morning, the Sun nevertheless broke through this veil and shone like a white Energy ball. I meditated on it and experienced astonishing states.


This is another one of my miracles—a whole story in itself.
I planted the tomatoes from seeds, while the pepper plant grew from scraps left after making a salad at the dacha. It grew and was preparing to bloom just before the first frosts, so I transplanted one and brought it home.
I could never have imagined what color it would be. The fruit grew and enlarged very quickly, and a few days ago it began to ripen. The pepper’s color is exactly like that of the tomatoes—almost golden. The story of Leela even came to mind:
The tomatoes fell in love with the pepper, and it returned their affection.

The rose is one of the most beautiful flowers in the world: delicate, fragrant, graceful, gentle, and natural—even with thorns, which do not diminish our love for them. The red rose is a symbol of love; through it, a man usually expresses his love for a woman. A rose is just as beautiful as true love…

"A rose is beautiful precisely because it is real."
When it blooms, a rose reveals its full potential, endowed to it by the Creator Himself: its beauty, shape, color, fragrance...
That is why the rose is real.

I don’t know, but I assume that the rose is a multifaceted symbol.
What does it mean—“real”?
There are two more aphorisms at the link provided; I assume they are interconnected.
I felt like rereading your poems and reflecting with AI

Веретенников Сергей , Quote

The rose is a symbol of Divine perfection, Unconditional Love, and Teaching. True love (the rose) contains strictness (the thorns). True, quality teaching is impossible without love and strictness.

The rose resembles the path to God. The thorns embody the difficult, thorny path, while the rose itself represents the realization of God—the crown, the reward.
The same can be said of the Path of Teaching: the path is difficult, but the reward is great and beautiful!

The rose is real because it is alive, beautiful, fragrant, and not eternal, since its petals wither over time, and it has thorns that can prick painfully. But it brings joy and warmth.

“Healing.” Affirmations — Part 2
Author and developer — Sergey Veretennikov

This fifteen-minute program combines ten affirmations with spatial sound and images of renewal. It is designed to promote deep relaxation, kind attention to your body, and a strengthened inner orientation toward recovery.

How the program works

In headphones, the voices come from different directions: left and right, diagonally, creating a sense of space in front of and behind you. Some phrases sound closer, while others are quieter and seem farther away. With each repetition, the position of the affirmation changes.

The next phrase begins approximately one second before the previous one ends — already in another location within the sound space. This creates a continuous surround of voices. This sound arrangement is intended to sustain attention and reduce the sense of familiarity caused by repetition.

Spatial processing takes into account differences in the time it takes sound to reach each ear, as well as its volume and timbre. The intensity of the sensation of front and rear directions may vary from listener to listener.

Ten illustrations complement the audio. Each contains the text of the corresponding affirmation and an image раскрывающий its meaning: inner light, harmony, protection, renewal, and the force of life.

How to practice

Put on stereo headphones, choose a comfortable volume, and settle into a comfortable position. Breathe naturally. You can look atimages or close your eyes and direct your attention to the sound. It is not necessary to follow every voice simultaneously—let the phrases play, noticing their meaning and your own sensations.

The duration of one session is 15 minutes.

The rose as a symbol of life,
as the beauty of the soul

I feel the rose as a part of myself. It is a kind of continuation of sensing the fragrance, like waves of oceanic power rising—the part of myself that I am. It is something that stirs and awakens that subtle perception of oneself, that primordial nature. I somehow catch a glimpse of myself in it. And if I pause for a moment, I find quite a lot of myself in it, and it feels wonderful.

The true charm of a ROSE, like that of the human soul, lies not in a cold, flawless appearance, but in its authenticity. A rose is beautiful because it is alive—with its thorns, fragrance, morning dew, and impermanence. No artificial bud, even one made of gold and stone, can replace the pulse of life.

A Wonder Hunter


Day 4. 3.11.26

Hunting for miracles.
Today it’s sunny and clear.
A wonderful meditation on the Sun through the window with my eyes closed—a wonderful state.
A wonderful walk through the pine forest; I fed the birds seeds from my hand. They aren’t afraid at all: titmice, nuthatches, and flycatchers. The squirrels didn’t come today.

A comparison of a living rose with an artificial one came to mind. The living rose inspires admiration with its unique beauty; it seems impossible to take in all of its beauty at a glance, as it extends far into the depths of the bud.
The artificial one is simply beautiful.
A living rose can truly hurt you with its thorns, while the artificial thorns are a convenient imitation—they do not prick in the same way.
It is simply impossible to look at a real rose enough. It gives off a divine fragrance and lives its natural life: the bud fills out, it blooms, and then it passes from this life. It may no longer be as beautiful when it withers, but that is precisely what makes the days when it blooms at full strength so precious—when it can provide the greatest amount of genuine pleasure. It blooms in its own time and only under conditions suitable for it. An artificial rose can exist anywhere and in any form as decoration.
A real rose is associated with love by almost everyone.

A rose is a Teacher.

To see a Teacher, God, in an ordinary flower. By meditating on the flower, one can realize that it does not try to be a lotus flower, jasmine, or an apple tree. It is a Rose—unique, incomparable, the only one. It has its own unique fragrance, color, shape, and so on. It has its own Purpose from God, and through it, it Serves various living beings: it heals some through the fragrance of its essential oil and through contemplating its natural red color; it serves a bee and its hive through nectar; it brings joy to others, and so on.
It is in harmony with its Nature, and therefore it is beautiful and authentic.
Through the phrase, the Transmission of the Natural State also takes place. And a learning skill can develop in various living beings.

The “HUNTER OF MIRACLES” practice.
Circumstances suddenly changed, making it possible for me to stay home on Ekadashi and fast without water (it would have been very difficult to do this while traveling). I am grateful for this Miracle!

Practice: “HUNTING FOR MIRACLES”
I had only just thought about a mantra for eyesight when I found it right away.

Rose—life! Tenderness, beauty, fragrance. Bringing love, happiness, everlasting joy, and uniqueness. Even its thorns adorn it and do not hurt at all.

I understand the meaning of the phrase about the rose as follows: all the beauty of the rose that inspires our admiration was created by the Creator—it was originally created divinely beautiful. And we clearly see and appreciate precisely this original divine beauty.
An artificial rose can convey the form, but not the essence.
Although perhaps the context is broader, and the point is not the flower itself but the fact that it is genuine and real—a synonym for sincerity and purity. And it is precisely purity and sincerity that are beautiful.
