Autonomy

1313 · Jul 20, 2021

Before the Supreme Lord, I bow. I never tire of kneeling and thanking my Teacher, OM Shanti, for leading me to God. It has been six months since I switched to eating once a day. Mangoes provide a great deal of energy. The tree in the garden is young, and this year it gave us many fruits. I share them with the squirrels. They hold the fruit in their little paws and eat it down to the pit—it is so sweet to watch. My diet consists of fruit, vegetables, nuts, grains, and a surprisingly large amount of energy. It is hot and humid in Florida now, and I run as if I were in a sauna. Just a couple of years ago, this would have been impossible to believe. Discipline cuts away everything unnecessary. You get up early, do sadhana, meditate at the school, exercise, run, spend three hours doing housework, swim, read, visit the ashram, and study at the school. I felt the teacher’s energy very strongly during the OTG-2 webinar. A powerful firework went off in my brain, and energy moved through all my chakras, flooding my body with warmth and peace. I received an influx of new strength. Very often in the mornings, an inner light comes on, and I see my organs, especially my heart. Answers to the questions I ask have begun to come. My mind has become clean and clear, as it was in my youth. I like feeling myself anew. The videos at the school are very useful and interesting because the teacher selected them with love. I am discovering more and more of the unknown and mysterious. My life has filled with meaning, joy, and happiness.

Today I would like to focus on whether food can be beneficial at all—or, to put it more clearly, medicinal.

Imagine eating something and healing yourself... Pretty cool, isn’t it?

Here is an illustrative comparison:

You fill a car with petrol, and it repairs itself. The headlight wasn’t working—and suddenly it works. A flat tire suddenly fixes itself. And the shattered windshield becomes new...

How convenient that would be. Just fill the car with petrol, and everything inside it repairs itself...

But you already understand the absurdity of the situation.

No, when you eat, you cannot heal anything!

On the contrary, it puts a strain on your entire organism.

When you fill a car with petrol and press the accelerator, the car roars and speeds off, straining itself and testing its endurance...

That is how everything is arranged.

The more time a car spends at rest, the longer it will remain young and beautiful for you.

Rest is the most important thing for any machine. Especially for the machine called the human body.

And one more thing:
read the operating manual.

You read it for your car, after all. Even if it is just a blender. You read how to operate it...

So why are you so little interested in the manual for your own body...

Summer tires, winter tires, oil, petrol... Constant, regular technical inspections...

Surely you don’t think your car is more important than your body? Or do you?

Autonomists identify several points that help on the Path of Autonomy.

The main point:

All of the Human body's systems are excretory!

This point simply needs to be understood. Without it, autonomy may not happen at all. Everything will remain at the level of fasting. Which is also good, but fasting is not autonomy! This means that one can remain fasting only for a certain period of time—for example, to achieve a particular level of healing. But fasting will end sooner or later.

So, regarding this point:

The mouth is an excretory organ, just like the anus, for example, as well as the nose, ears, and so on.

If anyone is familiar with medicine, they know that food is administered to some patients through the anus, into the large intestine. Not necessarily to patients, but to those who need additional nourishment.

So you understand that, literally, it is possible to eat not only through the mouth...

But is the mouth actually intended for eating... Perhaps the anus is better suited for this...

As an Ayurveda specialist, I can say that nourishing enemas—for example, oil enemas—are a standard Ayurvedic procedure.

As a connoisseur of the Vedas, I can say with certainty that the Vedas state that wherever a person has eaten, the place becomes unclean. Do you understand? A person has eaten—go perform ablutions. A person has emptied their bowels—go perform ablutions. In both cases, you have become unclean.

You drink water—the place becomes unclean.

Many people are familiar with Vedic culture nowadays, so they understand what I am talking about. This is no longer news.

Веретенников Сергей · Dec 21, 2022

It is very difficult for people to understand that the mouth is not an organ of consumption. The anus is not an organ of consumption. The nose, ears, nose.......

All of THESE are excretory organs.

The liver, stomach, spleen, urinary bladder.... all of these are organs of E-X-C-R-E-T-I-O-N.

Like GOD, we excrete from ourselves.

And we do not necessarily need to consume anything to do this.

Even when a woman becomes pregnant, the embryo simply attaches itself to her and uses her...

I said this in my film: Your Yoga. The Film "Human Birth".

In other words, understand that throughout the entire pregnancy, the child simply remains nearby, using the woman....

And we ALL went through that same process.

I saw a photo where a single seed fits into a small space (a round aquarium). ONE seed. After some time, the entire space is literally filled with a green garden. But this seed was nourished only by water and sunlight!

And in that greenery there were proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins...

Can you imagine?

An aquarium, a seed, moisture, sunlight...

Everything.

Everything that is needed.

I see in this idea of autonomy, and in many of the practices of the Mahapurna School in general, a new, timely, revolutionary idea of the "cosmic human"—a person with cosmic consciousness. A human being as part of the cosmos, rather than simply an Earthling.
When life as a whole stops revolving around the intestines and the body, the question arises: what should life revolve around? Questions about the meaning of life and life itself move to an entirely different level—the level of fellow beings in the cosmos.
The idea of giving up food and achieving autonomy sounds completely different in the context of "cosmic consciousness."

Веретенников Сергей · Dec 21, 2022

I highly recommend listening to this audio:

This is Mikhail Pelekhaty, who is also, to some extent, an autonomist.

Mikhail is an unusual person and one of the oldest people on the Russian-speaking internet to begin studying NLP.

And teaching it, too. Naturally, he has a vast store of all kinds of esoteric knowledge.

Listen thoughtfully. Otherwise, it will not be clear.

873415 · Dec 21, 2022

Веретенников Сергей , this is truly great audio! Thank you! I wish I could understand this topic in greater depth. It is a pity that he only touched on serious topics superficially, but it is perfectly clear what he is talking about. What is remarkable is that I had been thinking about the same things he discusses, but could not even properly formulate my thoughts—they were merely guesses. He expresses them clearly: personal attitudes and their influence, patterns of thinking, and the environment and its connection with autonomy. At the same time, much of this knowledge is needed not only by an autonomist, but by everyone.

Веретенников Сергей , thank you, Om Shanti! So much profound and important information in such a short lecture! The psychological aspect of autonomy and emotional dependence on food are explained very well. It seems to me that even when it is overcome, the physical aspect does not disappear.

I have fasted several times for one day without food or water. I understand that autonomy is not about fasting. During the fast, I felt very unwell and realized how literally we are nailed to the earth through food. The body seemed to want to absorb and draw something in from outside. Just like an addiction. The term “autonomy” itself describes the opposite state so precisely: freedom, independence from consuming material elements.

But much remains unclear to me. In the case of a seed, this is its natural process. Using its own reserves plus water, a seed grows leaves, but then the plant consumes the sun’s energy through its leaves by means of photosynthesis. Without the sun, it dies. For plants, this is the ordinary process of eating, the same as ordinary food is for humans.

The fact that all systems are excretory, in my view, actually indicates that the body exists by consuming. Excess and used-up elements are excreted. When there is no consumption, practically nothing is excreted.
I got the impression that autonomy is possible in principle if one overcomes the psychological obstacles discussed in the lecture, but that it will never be a comfortable, normal state in which a person feels and looks well and can remain active in society. It will always be a feat, an attempt to hack the system. Is that so, and what is it really like?

Веретенников Сергей · Dec 21, 2022

7 789 , among autonomists there is a term—natural days.

They do not include anything unnatural.

Apparently, when we eliminate everything unnatural, what is naturally inherent in Nature is activated.

For example, you can use a computer as a sledgehammer or hammer nails with a cell phone... But they have a much more important purpose.
We understand that.

Some people have reached the level where they understand that the purpose of our body is not to eat meat. Some eat meat and fish... Some have reached the level of eating only raw food, while others eat only fruit and drink juices...

And we see that no matter what a person does, everything is possible. Even not eating at all...

This means that our potential is limitless.

It all depends only on how much courage we have to take a step further. And further still.

Веретенников Сергей · Dec 21, 2022

If you liked the audio with Pelekhaty above, I also recommend listening to this:

Essentially, even autonomists now believe that the method involving NLP for transitioning to autonomy is the most powerful and fastest.

And, of course, as an NLP master, I confirm this.

Веретенников Сергей · Dec 22, 2022

Another important point for many people in Autonomy:

Is all of THIS really true?

The appearance of M. Pelekhaty, an NLP master with enormous experience (and much more), in this system indicates that it is all true. Because an NLP master can immediately tell whether a person is telling the truth or not. It is impossible to lie to him. Naturally, I mean in a personal conversation.

There are many signs that cannot be faked.

For some, the question may then arise: could Pelekhaty himself be lying?

What if they all conspired to lie to us...

As far as I know, Slava Timoshenko has now seriously taken up the whole matter. Finances and a clear, specific structure have appeared in the system...

There are more people striving for autonomy.

And that can no longer be faked

You cannot deceive people.

They simply keep appearing. Becoming autonomous and becoming autonomous...

Moreover, to become “Slava Timoshenko,” the person who started pushing and driving all this forward, you have to go through your own difficult path to get there.
It is not as though you ate sausage yesterday and today you are already teaching others about autonomy...

All of this is the logical consequence of many years of work.

And that, too, cannot be faked

Веретенников Сергей · Dec 22, 2022

A little earlier, the first point was stated: Autonomy

The second goes like this:

Food is a drug, and all people are food addicts.

I will put it this way: if you do not realize this point, then there is no point even trying to become autonomous.
Because you will do anything but become autonomous.

And this point must be REALIZED. There is nothing else you can do with it. No practice can force you to realize it.

Realizing this is both easy and difficult. Easy because—well, just realize it. Finally understand it...

And difficult because an immense burden of all kinds of conditioning and beliefs weighs you down.

873415 · Dec 22, 2022

Crazy information! Like a door to another world.
And you, Teacher, told us about this in the Ashram 2–3 years ago!!!!
How great that more and more people are catching this idea.

Веретенников Сергей · Dec 22, 2022

I have been talking about this since 2008:
Your Yoga. Adyahara. Eating according to the original principle.

I myself became interested in this idea after reading Malakhov's book “Cleansing the Body” in the 1990s.
The book began with Yogananda telling the story of a woman who neither ate nor drank at all.
This really struck a chord with me.
I thought, how wonderful it would be not to eat or drink—what freedom...

Since then, I have been moving in this direction. I started with all kinds of cleansing. I probably cleansed my liver about 15 times. Yes, with a glass of oil and lemon juice, a heating pad under my right side... Quite a pleasant experience

But it all pays off when you see what comes out of you.

This fascinated many people in the 1990s.

Веретенников Сергей · Dec 22, 2022

When I began recording BOE-do on the Your Yoga website (in 2008), the first thing I wrote was the dietary principle: do not eat breakfast; have your first meal after 11–12 o’clock.
It was not merely the first principle—I even wrote that without it, there is no BOE-do at all...
Those who have been on my website for a long time know that I wrote about this principle.

Later, many years afterward, I removed this principle to make BOE-do accessible to everyone, since skipping breakfast is difficult for many people.
I did this in 2018:
Your Yoga. The Basics of BOE-do. Nutrition.

And this principle is already cascade nutrition (or fasting, as some prefer to call it).
As for cascades, we have this here: Healthy nutrition with ketones + intermittent fasting

Cascades also apply to autonomy.

Веретенников Сергей · Dec 22, 2022

There is even an interesting word in our language:

An omnivorous creature.

As you know, I do my best to encourage people to see the imagery in our language, so I could not pass by this word.

Omnivory — Wikipedia

everyPOISONous
allPOISONous
allPOISONous

I think no comment is needed. Our language calls this whole thing poison.

And Wikipedia calls a person omnivorous (you read this via the link above). That is, according to official science, a human being is a creature that eats all poisons.
Gentlemen, this powerfully explains our hospitals being packed to capacity. How can you eat poisons and be healthy?

Namaste, I have a question: why did I notice a sharp decline in my memory after periodically fasting on Ekadashi days for several years? It was especially noticeable on fasting days, sometimes reaching the point of absurdity—I could not immediately remember the necessary numbers or words. Of course, I did not find it funny. I constantly felt weak on those days. Since I have a physically demanding job and am moving intensely practically all day, I began to fear that I would not have enough strength. Yet I need to be alert and cheerful (or at least appear that way). How can I avoid making these mistakes while fasting and keep my memory from suffering?

At the very least, you need to give up the idea of fasting.
Because the body responds to what you are thinking in your head...

And, of course, this is a PROCESS.

You do not suddenly become well when you give up a drug you have taken every day three times a day (if only!)—seven to twenty times a day—for your entire life!

Otherwise, drug addicts would not be lying in rehab hospitals. They would quit drugs and immediately become normal people...

But that is not how it works.

It is a painful process of RETURNING.

Веретенников Сергей · Dec 23, 2022

I have said more than once, and I will repeat it again: this process cannot be fast. In other words, do not be fanatical.

Do everything gradually.

Cleanse whatever can be cleansed by external means. I mean the intestines and liver.

At first, the toxins from the intestines during fasting are what interfere the most.

If you remove them, it will already be much easier.

I mentioned here at the School a method for entering a fast quickly. Drink grapefruit juice with castor oil, and everything will be cleansed quickly.

Do this before every natural day (without omnivorous eating).

Of course, you need to do this for several months so that the toxins finally detach from the walls of the entire gastrointestinal tract.

After that, you will notice that you can live without food for more than one day more easily.

This is because, when you abstain from omnivorous eating for one to three days, the toxins will stop being absorbed into your bloodstream.

Веретенников Сергей · Dec 25, 2022

In any case, whatever this may be called—for example, what is being discussed in this topic—it is the future of Earth.

We are all clearly doing something wrong with our divine bodies.

Yes, there is a certain percentage of people who will never become autonomous. For them, life and health are less important than omnivory. But there are quite a few people who have both the desire and the willpower, yet do not know that such a system exists at all.

Just give it to them—and they will begin.

Of course, there are also people who are so dark that when you talk to them about autonomy, they think you are genuinely insane. In other words, they are not even capable of entertaining the thought of giving up POISONS.

By the way, speaking of poison-eating.

Naturally, those who are already moving toward autonomy understand that the simplest path is to switch to weaker and weaker POISONS.

From meat to dairy and soy products, then to cooked vegetables and nuts, then to raw vegetables and fruit, and then to fruit.

And beyond that, you can reduce the number of meals. For example, fruit three times a day. Then fruit twice a day... Fruit once every two days...

But of course, this is not the only path.

It is, however, a logical path: simply choose increasingly weaker POISONS.
