Владимир Дубковский – Nectar for Your Soul (страница 21)

Doctor Sytin’s is a unique lot in life. At the time of the Second World War, he, a young soldier, received nine wounds, the last of which was especially severe. By the age of twenty he was severely disabled and suffered from memory loss, limited movement…

From 1944 onwards, Georgiy Sytin, having taken an interest in psychology, began to create affirmations for development of volitional quality and self perfection. His first experiments were, fittingly, performed on himself. In 1957, in front of a medical commission, he was pronounced completely fit for military service!

Forty years later, after comprehensive research at the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Sytin received a report that despite a calendar age of 75, his biological age was that of a 35 year old! And all thanks to the affirmations that he actively employed all these years. At 68, he fathered a daughter, and at 70, a son. Doctor Sytin is currently 89 years old, but he’s never drawn a pension and continues to work.

The idea that thoughts influence physical reality, and as such the health of a person, naturally wasn’t understood in the Soviet Union. Furthermore, despite his impressive personal results, Sytin was arrested three times, put in prison and named an enemy of the people for their propaganda. But a half-century of harassment couldn’t break this man, who asserted that constructive thoughts are stronger than fate! They can save one from all troubles, illness and even old age, the most important thing is to correctly and positively think of oneself as a person who is talented, willful, strong and capable of anything.

“There are practically no sick patients that we can’t help,” announces Doctor Sytin, “we’ve learned how, without operations, to cure women of mastopathy, hysteromyoma, polycystic eggs and other malignant tumors; we’ve learned to cure men of prostate adenoma and impotence; we’ve also learned how to effectively cure not only victims of schizophrenia, but even of multiple sclerosis, how to quickly cure cardiac arrhythmia and other cardiovascular irregularities…”

Doctor Sytin worked out dozens of various verbal sayings, consisting of positive affirmations. Repeating them many times over, the patients committed these affirmations to their subconscious, which contains the physiological processes of an organism. And the patients recovered.

Here’s what Doctor Sytin himself has to say about this: “There’s no sort of mysticism, miracle, or charlatanism here. Everything is founded on strict science, on the teachings of Russian academician Ivan Pavlov about speech’s role as a second signaling system and its connections to a person’s subconscious, which directs the physiological processes in an organism. And if such a connection exists, then with the help of words it’s possible to exercise direct influence on the mind and through these processes restore and strengthen the functions of internal organs and activate self-regulation.”

In other words, we’re speaking of psychic energy, the possibilities and power of which Rhonda Byrne’s critiques and millions of other skeptics so fiercely deny.

Doctor Sytin’s affirmations are capable not only of healing the body, but also of strengthening the soul, faith in oneself and in one’s abilities. We’ll include short extracts from two of the affirmations:

“All my face muscles are relaxed, my whole face is smoothed out; I am completely calm; I am completely and absolutely at peace, like the mirror-smooth surface of a lake. I am, to my core, completely and absolutely at peace. All the blood-vessels in my body are completely open; my circulation is absolutely unobstructed. And my young, healthy, energetic blood flows through all the blood-vessels in my body in a quick, free-flowing stream…”

“I am capable of overcoming all difficulties and obstacles that I encounter in the course of fulfilling my work. I firmly know that if great and unforeseen difficulties arise, they will all the same be smashed by my powerful will.

My internal stability in life is ten times stronger, a hundred times stronger than all the difficulties and obstacles I might meet in the process of my work.

With each passing day I become a person who is more and more brave, evermore self-confident. With each passing day my will becomes ever stronger…” [22].

Now let’s take a look, what do the healing of a patient using Doctor Sytin’s affirmations, the recovery of the French nun, and the fulfilled wish for the naval dagger have in common?

Common to all these situations is unconditional faith in the result, plus the factor we wrote about above, that one needs to pray (desire) correctly.

We encourage you to read on but slowly and extremely attentively. In the following lines will be presented the key which opens the door to all prayers and dreams.

It turns out that when people pray or dream about something (which are at their core one and the same thing), they simultaneously and unconsciously throw up a mighty barrier on which their prayers and dreams are broken.

At first the barrier rears up between the praying person and those to whom the prayers are directed. Here I am, and somewhere there, in the sky or somewhere else, is God. That is, spatial separation takes shape.

Then the barrier is strengthened by the creation of a time interval between the current state of affairs and the desired one. Today I’m unhealthy (without money, a loved one, good work), and I pray (wish) that in the future I’ll find that thing. That is, a time separation takes shape.

While this barrier exists, praying and wishing is useless.

The key to destroying this barrier, as you’ve already come to understand, is hidden in our conscious. We specially noted that a person unconsciously constructs this barrier, which means it is possible to consciously destroy it. But this can’t be done with empty hands, we need special instruments. These are already prepared for us; they are a collection of elementary knowledge about the nature of the Universe and man.

We’ll return to the technology of correct prayers in chapter 6, but at the moment we’d like to at least note that rituals, in truth, have no meaning whatsoever for the fulfillment of prayers (or desires).

“How can this be?” you might ask. Why then do millions of believers embark on exhausting pilgrimages to far-off holy lands where miraculous healing takes place? Why do people reverently kiss holy relics, light candles, drop to their knees and engage in so many other rituals during prayer? At least some of them come true! And miraculous healing takes place in holy places time and time again!

We agree that prayers accompanied by rituals sometimes come true, and that miraculous healing does take place at holy places. But the statistics of miracles irrefutably shows the futility of rituals and pilgrimages for fulfillment of prayers (desires). Judge for yourself:

For a century and a half pilgrims from all continents have yearly flocked to the French town of Lourdes seeking miraculous cures. Lourdes became famous after a series of appearances by the Virgin Mary to a village girl named Bernadette in 1858. The Mother of God appeared to Bernadette in the vicinity of the village near a grotto from which gushed a spring. Through the girl, she directed the priests to build a chapel in this place and hold services there.

In no time at all this rundown, provincial village bloomed. Rumors about appearances of the Virgin Mary and a healing spring spread quickly and crowds of suffering people headed for Lourdes. The church authorities, seeing this interest, immediately built three churches with fifteen chapels instead of one and organized the proceedings with open arms.

In 1933 Pope Pious XI sainted Bernadette and the famous Austrian writer Franz Werfel (1890—1945) wrote an entire novel by the name Das Lied von Bernadett (The Song of Bernadette).

In Lourdes itself many hotels were built and a large airport was opened for pilgrims. According to the lowest of estimates, the yearly inflow of pilgrims and tourists to Lourdes exceeds 3.5 million people, according to different estimates, no less than 6 million.

In all the pavilions around the Grotto, from morning till night, mass is performed in various languages of the world: French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, and Dutch. Each evening there are massive, torchlight processions to the Grotto. All the pilgrims carry small candles which are decorated with paper shades. The very process of ablution in the healing spring also takes place in strict accordance with established rules.

And what is the result?

The International Medical Association of Lourdes, which attentively tracks all instances of miraculous healing, has recorded 67 such factual instances in all the history of pilgrimages to the grotto. This is against a backdrop of tens of millions of attempts at healing, undertaken by believers! In mathematical language, 0.0001% success! We’re sure that if Doctor Sytin’s affirmations “worked” with such results, nobody would know his name today.

What’s really happening at Lourdes? Why do the attempts at healing of tens of millions of true believers go without result?
