In today's occult boom, which broke out in Russia and around the world, they occupy the most important place contacts and contact literature (connection with the spiritual world). Millions of people think they communicate with the invisible world of the beings who are leading and helping them. In these books, we find many tips, examples, and practices that help establish contact with the subtle world, and how we can enter into a community of beings who inhabit it. It is said that this contact will make people happy and help them come closer to God. There are several points of view to the spread of contagion.

• One of them is based on an apparent defense of contagion. Conjugation serves the high principle of truth as the seal of choice of spiritual progress, and the question is whether or not it is the source of an invisible world belonging to the divine world, or it is simply impossible and indecent.
• Another view is that contactism is a disgusting demonic act, it is a manifestation of spiritual insubordination, dangerously opens a subtle world that first appears as a dark space inhabited by many astral beings that threaten the human soul.

How do you perceive this religion contact?

The esoteric philosopher René Guenon believed that less influence leads to the essence of existence, and to a small extent violates a 'dam' built by higher forces to protect the terrestrial world, and therefore contactors are actively seeking ways to anchor themselves in the human material world. He perceives no less strongly all attempts to seek God outside of religions, including contact, world religions, and the church. From this point of view, any contact with the subtle world in nature is demonic.

Another look at contacting is based on the fact that we are experiencing the time of convergence and the union of once separated planes of existence. Whether we like it or not, whether we like it or not, these worlds will continue to come together, and that will have an extremely strong impact on humanity. The material world, serving as the glowing core of the human spirit, as a dark veil, and thus the legalized world of lies and crimes committed with the help of lies, becomes more transparent and open.

Approaching with the spiritual world

The Gospel on this forthcoming planetary process says: "All secrets will be revealed."The convergence of the three worlds: physical, spiritual and energetic can not occur easily and painlessly. It will be accompanied by a magnificent battle between the forces of light that dwell in the higher worlds and in the hearts of those who have chosen for 'light' and spiritual development. The forces of darkness will remain in the lower layers of the spiritual world and in the hearts of dark evildoers of evil. Of course, the forces of the dark, suppressed by the forces of light in the subtle world, aspire to return to the physical world and want to dock their existence there.

There is no need to deny contact or fight it, as an objective reality - let's take it for granted at first, and clarify it later. A person who cannot perceive the subtle world must sooner or later learn this, but must not stop in the middle world, in all traditions called the astral world, which is an intermediate product, but must move into God's plan of being. Someone who easily makes contacts with the subtle world should do so with great care and caution, aware of the changes of the dual nature in the astral plane.

Who, how and with whom is he contacted?

The dual nature has not only the astral plane but also the contactor. On the one hand, it may be a common medium, a primitive shaman, an astral traveler, or a black magician, luring into his dark operations on the lower astral plane, and on the other - a visionary, an enlightened master of self-knowledge, a seeker of a student, and even a saint or a prophet.

Who were the seers, yogis, ascetics, and spiritual seekers of all time who had mystical experiences of direct communication with God as a connection with the Supreme Being? We know from history and religious traditions that many of the religious teachings were born through contacts with the supreme principle of the primary teacher, which occurred in the state of enlightenment. These were contacts with God as Moses or Muhammad had. The Old Testament and the Qur'an are considered the result of heavenly contacts, written for common language.

At the same time, there are many contact texts and information from the middle and lower astral levels. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the depth and nature of each case of contacting us in order to understand who and what are the spiritual commitments in contact with the invisible world and at what level will this contact take place? At the lower, middle or upper astral level, which is the source of contact information?

How is contact with the spiritual world?

It is also important to understand how the contact will take place. Whether it will be initiated by the spiritually seeker who persistently prays and meditates, or will it be the result of the invisible world? And most importantly, will his non-violent spiritual help and support, advice, and subtle energy penetrate into our world, or will it be accompanied by violence, coercion, or interference in our free will?

I generally suspect cases where so-called spiritual entities impose astral voices on spiritual aspirants, let alone force them to fulfill their commands. In most cases, they are the voices of dark astral personifications of light forces, ridiculing their victims. Only in very rare cases were the voices or speeches that the seeker hears within himself, the words of encouragement and support coming from above.

Generally, these higher intelligents who wish to warn the person from mistakes or an unwarranted step do so in the form of secret codes sent to him on a ground plane, which everyone has to make clear for themselves. If this tip does not work, they can, of course, send a more subtle sign: dreams, moods, images and vision, but they will never force him against his will, accepting their salvation program into consciousness.

I have often experienced a sudden change in my mood before any decisive, important step or act, and I have received more energy for the desired action, or I have lost a lot of interest in what is going on to make up for the general consequences or has given up his obligations. After some time, I was convinced that my intuition helped me very well.

How do you intuition?

In those cases where I have reassessed whether this new aspect has been passed over my spirits, I considered this laziness or the influence of my weak spirit, so other circumstances were not in my benefit. However, there were cases of direct instructions to my mind, but they were not as emphatic. Strange warning voices in my mind sounded firm and clear in my head. Once, when I met and established a long-term relationship with one person, I suddenly, in a state of drowsiness, on the verge of sleep and wakefulness, caught in my mind a very clear idea that sounded almost like a voice:

"This is a very bad person. He'll cheat on you. "

Unfortunately, I was young and inexperienced, and I did not pay attention to this 'go-ahead' instruction, which was by no means a hard command determining my behavior, but only information about possible problems that were all due to unhappy contact.

I repeat once again - when a person comes into contact with a spirit from the subtle world on his initiative, it is never in the nature of coercion, manipulation, a substitute plan, or an occult reversal, as in the case of communication with demons. We can remember the Socrates demon (Genius), who was listening regularly to a voice in his mind, and which, as confirmed by the famous Athenian philosopher, has never insisted on the necessity of doing something but merely warning how not to do something.

What does a spiritually looking contact look like?

The position of a spiritually seeking contact is very important. He must consciously choose his own spiritual master, tune in to his name, form, channel of energy and his teachings: words and texts (if preserved), to the foundations of historical, cultural and spiritual tradition, and must not be guided only by uncertain astral feelings. Particularly unacceptable is the attitude of the contact, which can be characterized in occultism by the often made statements: "I work with…" To the question: "And who works with you?", You can usually only get an answer in the form of raising your eyes to heaven or the narrator points a finger somewhere up.

If one does not know, let alone try to find out who he is working with, where and for what purpose someone is leading his behavior, but only entrusts his will to unknown astral forces, it is highly probable that after a certain time he will fall under the influence of the lower ones, dark forces. It is better if the candidate of the spiritual union does not have a clear idea of ​​the appearance of his teacher on the astral plane, and chooses himself a well-known spiritual mentor from a very high level, known in religious and historical traditions, as his teacher, ascetic or saint. to remember every moment that connects him inwardly with his whole being, he will clearly see his astral form, so he will be able to communicate easily and obey his commands in confidence.

You should never use the words: "I work with ..." If this is the case, try to work yourself with the image and rules of the chosen teacher, and then you will not be afraid of any astral conditions.

Criteria for recognizing dark and light contacts

Contagressing is dangerous for candidates of spiritual union, by its variety of criteria for real visions and contacts, as well as for some fatal predispositions and fantasies. I met many contacts, of whom 99 were men who tended to dream about occult themes but lacking in the spirit of sobriety.

Fantasies arise much easier when people are dealing with live astral images and are also interested in their experience to impress others. One gets used to believing the impressions of the invisible world and accepting them as divine signs and messages. It loses the ability to distinguish between spirits according to the value pointed out by the apostle Paul.

In order not to fall into the network of astrological deception, the candidate for contacting, especially if he is susceptible to the easy separation of the astral body, must know the criteria for truthfulness of these contacts. Its task is to learn to distinguish between dark, neutral, light and divine contacts.

How do we distinguish the kinds of contacts with the spiritual world?

1. Dark contact - regardless of the form of contact, a being with whom a person is in contact can be considered dark if he feels pressure on his will that forces him to do something he obviously does not want; something interferes with his consciousness in the form of voices and the tide of chaotic thoughts, the disordered intellectual process. It comes to his consciousness in the form of ugly images of gray and dirty tone, so he has an uncomfortable feeling of similarity with sewage; his mind and soul surround a sticky temptation to get rid of his high aspirations; it makes its aura soiled, so that contact with it creates a feeling of impotence, fatigue and reduced activity, falsified by the highest source, it is called holy names and personifies into great teachers, silently enforces the will of spiritual aspirants, and gives no energy or light experiences.
2. Contact is neutralif it does not contain any intense feelings that are not accompanied by strong metaphors and does not have a significant impact on the will of a person but only creates a feeling of background, subtle presence and touch. Usually, this contact has an impersonal nature, but in some cases it may be in contact with the aura of midlevels of the astral plane, especially if there is a direct karmic connection with them, as if the contactor deals with dead relatives or close friends.
3. Contact with light entities in out-of-the-way communication occurs when - it causes a feeling of energy and life inflow; it is accompanied by feelings of fun and excitement; contributes to the emergence of new creative ideas, ideas and discoveries; it is accompanied by light flashes and the vision of pure colors, shades and tones in the mind; creates beautiful, inspiring images; it helps to create a noble desire, connected with the ideas of perfection of spiritual development and to help other people.

Contact should be considered radiant, highly spiritual and divine if:

• It is accompanied by the highest strong emotional experiences that cause confusion in the whole honest human being;
• When it leads to the temporary abandonment of the earthly human perception, it enters the altered state of consciousness and exultation while it is filled with bright light and a sense of inexpressible harmony, completeness and perfection;
• It appears in the form of images of theological masters and beautiful visions, which are internally filled with the light of transformation and spiritual fire;
• It changes the character of the human person, improves it and illuminates;
• Rejects the fears and feelings of the psychic blocks and feelings of the individual that keep him in the state of internal human slavery;

This opens up in man a gift of spiritual creativity and various abilities. Every serious aspirant of spiritual contacts must learn how to create a strategy for their relationships with the invisible world. In the first place, it is necessary to consciously tune in to the high level of contact with the spiritual master and to stay in the astral world. Such an aspirant for higher communication can not be disconcerted and insecure in his activities. This means that if he wants to be successful in his spiritual development, he should not only choose abstract teachers - gods he does not know about, but especially individual teachers with specific destiny, name and teaching, and ultimately create the form or way in which will be manifested.

Terms of contact

When communicating with his teacher, the student must under all circumstances, or at least regularly, examine himself whether he is actually dealing with this teacher? Unless astral appearance is revealed, it means that one communicates with someone he does not know.

In addition, it is important for contacts to take place in a clear, alert consciousness of the pupil, and under his full conscious control. The real pupil must not allow the astral fog to drown him and weaken his will. It would be better to compete with its medium that allows uncontrolled separation of the astral body from physical. If one is in contact with the invisible world in a state in which the astral body is independent, it is possible with a high degree of certainty to say that it will be very dangerous for proper spiritual development. The best way to communicate with the invisible world is not to remain in the astral plane, but to be in a pure state of consciousness.

If you find that you have succumbed to the uncontrollable release of the subtle body, this process must be stopped in all ways, including will, prayer, and even physical action. You can surround yourself with an energy shield. Avoid all forms of destructive contact, only under these conditions will communication with real, tall light beings from the invisible world be possible in your life.

Theme for independent meditation

Sit upright, calm your breath, close your eyes, enter your inner space and start thinking about the complicated phenomenon of contact. On the one hand, it is a natural human interaction with God (when it really comes to making contact with spiritual reality, an invisible high hierarchy), and on the other hand it is a manifestation of man's false illusory approach to the subtle world. Learn to look for real contacts and avoid fake ones as much as possible.

Find a particular spiritual master, with his specific name and form, and avoid confusing unnamed beings, especially if they invade your mind and ideas without calling. In the case of unauthorized contact on your part with a subtle being or plan of existence, remember the criteria for knowing light and dark subtle subjects, maintain the clarity and vigilance of the inner sight upward, and call upon the name and image of your teacher you trust.

If, after repeatedly pronouncing the name of the Master, his astral image remains, he continues to radiate light and brings joy, comes from a clear hierarchy, but if it changes shape and disappears completely, it most likely comes from the darkness.

    This article is not about contact with extraterrestrials. These are just a special case of contact with spiritual entities. Every living being has a spirit, but he does not necessarily need a physical body, so in general it is communication with spirits - that's why I would call it rather channeling.)
