CHAPTER 6.2. WHITE MAGIC

We were slowly walking with Sasha along the local Rublyovka.

“Daphne, tonight we have to write the Program for the year, and I promised to help you – to conjure your Stone Wall. So, now we’ll deal with this. I want your dream to come true.”

“As Oscar Wilde said, there are two tragedies in life: the first is not to fulfill your dream, the second is to fulfill it. Although it was also the Buddha who said: desire is the cause of all misfortunes. When it is not fulfilled, we are disappointed and suffer, and when it is fulfilled, we feel devastated.”

“Daphne, are you serious? Are you already packing things for some monastery?”

“No, Sasha. Of course, one should have a dream. But there are two categories of dreams – those that at least somehow depend on your Self, so that you can go step by step towards their fulfillment, and those that, in general, don’t depend on you at all, rather, belong to the field of magic. In the first case, everything is simple. The only problem is that people at the level of Consciousness don’t know what they really want. Their Subconscious knows, but people think they know. Basically, everyone immediately lists what they don’t want. Tell me, Sasha, what are you going to write in the Wish Program?”

“I want to feel happy!”

“It’s a fictitious abstraction! You can feel happy by remembering the happiest day of your life. As soon as you remember, the same emotions automatically arise, here and now. It’s not a dream or a goal. By the way, many list adjectives or qualities as a dream. ‘I want to be smart, slim’ and so on. It’s enough to take real steps yourself. Smart? Go to the library and read smart books. Slim? Buy a subscription to the pool, for example. It’s not a dream. If you say you want to be happy, make a list of synonyms for abstraction to reveal your real desires. You can write adjectives, but nouns are better, for example, I am the father of three children. This is concrete. Ask yourself, what am I going to do, how will I live when I feel happy?”

“Okay, I want a bag of money. Is it an abstraction too?”

“Certainly! You want something you spend money from the bag on. There is an exercise for identifying real dreams when it comes to money. Imagine that you have 10 million, with or without a bag, and write them down. Reveal real dreams. In most cases, people want material things. And any material thing has a relative value, for each – its own. Although it’s in human nature to exaggerate the value of anything until one doesn’t possess it. A thing itself is neutral, but depending on the circumstances, it can take on various degrees of attractiveness.”

“Come on, Daphne, Mercedes in Africa is still Mercedes.”

“A box of matches costs a penny, unlike Mercedes. Imagine electricity and gas disappearing all over the world. Lighters ran out. A box of matches becomes the most coveted dream of those who don’t know to make fire in other ways.”

“Okay, I want a bag of money to finish my second cottage.”

“Again, not the goal itself, but the completion of an intermediate stage, the so-called boarder event. This category includes, to marry one, to finish writing a book, to graduate from the institute, and so on. Although it’s already closer to the truth than the previous ones, it’s still just a step towards achieving the true goal. Ask yourself, what will be possible for me after the completion of the second cottage? Perhaps it will be your dream. Depending on the answer.”

“For example?”

“For example, if you answer, I want a bag of money to complete the construction of the second cottage, so that my mother-in-law will be happy, it’s not your desire. People often take someone else’s as their own. The Subconscious knows perfectly well what is yours and what is someone else’s. It always shields us from alien and promotes exclusively own.”

“What if I want a bag of money to complete the second cottage, so that my mother-in-law moves out of me and of my wife, finally leaves me alone?”

“It’s already better. The Subconscious will try to help you in realization so that your life becomes calmer. A person should ask himself, why do I need the fulfillment of my dream? Or what will I do with something when I get it, when the dream comes true. People get hung up on such questions and realize that they don’t need it at all. We want, but we have no idea what to do with it next.”

“Let’s say I need it. Really. And I know what I will do with it next. Then?”

“Then think about the price of the question. Both if you achieve, and if you don’t achieve something. How much health, strength, money or whatever it takes you to get it. Perhaps you are not ready for such expenses. If the Subconscious doesn’t want something, it resists in every possible way. The problem of the realization of one’s desire lies in the hidden conflict, the discrepancy between the desires of the Consciousness and the Subconscious.”

“For example?”

“You want to get something at the level of Consciousness. But when you get it, you will have to change a lot in your habitual way of life. Or in yourself. People are panic afraid of changes and don’t want to change what they got used to. A girl lives alone. She doesn’t like or know to cook. She wants to get married at the level of Consciousness. At the level of the Subconscious, she perfectly understands that she will have to cook for her husband. Unless, of course, he has a personal cook. Although the girl doesn’t really like this subconsciously, since the cook may suddenly turn out to be not only a cook. The Subconscious will protect the girl from what threatens her inner peace. If she doesn’t change anything in herself, the result is obvious. In a clever Orthodox book, I read a wonderful phrase, saying leave whatever you do if it threatens to lose the peace of your Soul.”

“Well, how can I determine, what the Subconscious doesn’t want?”

“Have a talk.”

“With whom?”

“With the Subconscious. Why talk to Consciousness? It’s always on the surface. You can ask questions and listen to your inner voice. You can get answers on your inner screen. Use a pendulum or with the help of involuntary movement of your fingers, or by automatic writing. Ask a question with only two possible answers, Yes or No. And wait for the Subconscious to answer. For example, is there something in me that doesn’t want to finish the second cottage?”

“What if the Subconscious is in full agreement with the Consciousness?”

“Then take into account when you write your 10 wishes, the time or deadline for their implementation.”

“What’s that?”

“A spoon is good for dinner. In a dream and in the Astral, everything is fast. You want to materialize a cottage, and here you are, a beautiful phantom appears out of nowhere, live in it to your heart’s content. In life, the speed of realization is much slower. You can achieve something when you no longer need it. Set the expiration dates. It’s better not to indicate specific dates, but outline the time frame, at the optimal time for me during this year, I get a bag of money to complete the construction of the second cottage.”

“Okay. And after that?”

“In general, when a goal or desire is correctly defined and clearly voiced, the implementation program automatically starts in the Subconscious. It begins to lead you in some way, sometimes known only to the Subconscious. It’s important not to set too many goals not related to each other at the same time. Energy will be dissipated, and the time of realization may exceed the shelf life. But as for the first type of desires, it’s simple, because the realization depends on the concrete steps of the person.”

“Okay, Daphne. I understand. And the second category of dreams is from the category of miracles or Magic, right?”

“Right. It’s the field of God and of the Higher Forces only.”

“The main thing, as it seems to me, is to ask God. It’s given only to the one who asks. You shouldn’t give up an unrealistic dream and be satisfied with what you have. You should proceed from the fact that you deserve the best, and don’t limit yourself in fantasies. Moreover, if God puts some desire into your bright head, it means that it’s not without reason, and He will give you the means to achieve the goal.”

“You forget, Sasha, that we are playing chess here. Not all wishes are put into our heads by God. You can ask anything. He will hear, one hundred per cent. You can’t outsmart God. People try to deceive the Divine. Basically they ask for their Ego, Personality. They don’t give anything to God, they don’t serve either the world or other people, just ask for themselves. No one thinks about the effect the fulfillment of their dreams will have on third parties. After all, what is good for one may be bad for another. God would rather send you a hundred sacks of money for the construction of a Temple than one sack for a cottage. People want to bend the world for themselves. Any violence is the domain of Black Magic. Therefore, before writing 10 wishes, think carefully not to become one of those unfortunates who keep wishing into the void, whose desires are not and won’t be fulfilled. True, there are also such lucky ones who don’t even have time to wish, as everything is immediately given to them on a plate with a blue border.”

“Daphne, they will give you on a plate with a golden border. Now we’ll put everything in order and program it exclusively with the help of White Magic. The main problem of people is that they reason with intelligence and logic, but they have to be children! Miracles are performed by the heart, bypassing the stereotypes, programs and attitudes of the mind. The door is locked only for those who try to enter inside with the mind. Put your doubts aside. I read that a bishop came to visit Seraphim of Sarov in winter. And suddenly, a raspberry bush with ripe berries grew in a corner of the cell. Right on the bare floor. Like in a fairy tale. The bishop jumped up. They ate the raspberries, and Seraphim of Sarov said, if you believe, you can order the mountain, move into the sea, and it will move. There’s no need to doubt. Daphne, don’t you believe in miracles?”

“Paracelsus said as well, that the resolute will is the beginning of all magical actions.”

“Of course! You know everything very well yourself. To materialize a thought, visualize the result. Paint a positive, clear and realistic image of yourself in a happy future. It’s easier for you, you paint with your fingers in five minutes what some people like me won’t paint in a year with a pen and a stencil. Then hang it over your desktop and admire it every free minute. Replay scenes of your happy scenario in your mind. Direct the flow of energy to the option you need, tune the vibrations to the radiation of love, develop the qualities you want to find in the person you are looking for. You told us that like attracts like. Be interested in everything that can be related to your happiness, absorbing, like a sponge, all necessary and useful information. Write more positive affirmations in the present tense without the particle not, hang them on all the doors in your flat so that they catch your eye more often, mentally repeat them constantly, like a mantra, but thoughtfully, and not mechanically, putting energy into words. And everything will come true, Daphne! Your dream will come true!”

“You are right, Sasha. In general, but not in everything. If it were so simple, then humans would have disappeared on the Earth long ago.”

“What do you mean?”

“Just like Atlantis once… Two-thirds of them were engaged in Black Magic. A monk said, when God sees what he really needs, God sends people to bring the necessary things to the monk. And if God doesn’t fulfill a wish, it’s better for everyone, or delayed for some reason.”

“Is karma a reason too?”

“Karma as well. In general, if we want something too much, they won’t give it to us, since the binding arises, the balance of Forces is disturbed. The Forces try to eliminate the imbalance. What we cannot imagine our life without is always blocked, so that we stop in time and realize there is nothing but Heaven. There, in Heaven, they see, hear and know about us and our wishes. You should set the search function in the Computer and forget it. If it’s found, okay, if not, it’s for the best. When one decides to follow the Magical Path, he can get into a turbulent Flow that will take him to where he has never expected to be. You need to give yourself to the Flow and follow it. The Flow is the result of the work of your Subconscious and the Higher Forces. They are not interested in distorting your destiny. Look at yourself from the outside and expect surprises. As Heraclitus said, expect the Unexpected. People, as a rule, are not ready for surprises, it’s easier for them if everything goes according to plan. Magic is not according to plan. We should believe that There, Above, everything is more visible, and the magical journey in the Magical Flow will bring much more than we originally asked for. The process of passing the Path is much more valuable than the final result.”

“Daphne, let’s move on to practice. Today, not only me, but you also will write the Wish Program. Do you have 10 wishes already?”

“I have only three of them, globally.”

“Not a lot, you are so modest! We are going to the Mountain of Wishes. You should have a mountain of wishes! Okay, sorry. So what are you going to write there?”

“Health is not the subject of discussion. As RAM says, it’s for everyone the wish number one. And two more wishes, My Book and …”

“The Man Who Was Not,” Sasha said with a smile.

“Bad mark for you!” I laughed.

“Why?”

“We are forbidden to write the particle ‘not’!”

“Okay, I agree. He was not, God bless him.”

“I want to finish my Book and give it to the world. It’s a wish from the first category of the Earthly Reality. It mostly depends on me.”

“But your Earthly Desire belongs to the realm of Another Reality!”

“In one way or another, yes.”

“And the Man who…”

“The Man Who Exists, somewhere far away now, is a wish from the category of miracles or Magic.”

“It’s funny, your Magical Desire concerns the Earthly Reality. Daphne, you have everything upside down. You give Magic to the Earthly Reality and ask the Magic Reality for the Earthly. It’s already a miracle! Well, okay, so what are you going to write about that Man? You need to be specific!”

“I haven’t thought about it yet.”

“Great, so let’s think about it together. I promised you to conjure your Stone Wall. We won’t have time for that later. So he is…?”

“I don’t know,” I breathed out.

“If you don’t know, the Higher Forces will get confused! There are a lot of men, specifics are needed!”

“Okay, he is stronger and…”

“… and smarter than you. Everyone knows that by heart. We have read the first part of your book very carefully. But you need to be more specific, Daphne. Don’t write so with a pitchfork on the water, tell me better, he loves…?”

“Me.”

“Daphne, it goes without saying, otherwise why do you need him?! Think once more, what is he fond of?”

“Travelling, 100%,” I laughed.

“Great! So you will be travelling together.”

“Yes, we’ll fly, on white birds. I want to go all over the world, visiting all kinds of Pyramids, Holy and Mysterious places.”

“Very good. So he is 100% friends with Jupiter.”

“I agree, you are a capable student, Sasha,” I laughed.

“What does he look like?”

“You should never be too specific in this area. What if I say now something, and there are no such people? The Higher Forces will have to create him, first in the Astral, then materialize, grow him up…, meanwhile I’ll leave for the Astral.”

“I assure you, they will get him out of the ground for you within a year! Exactly the way you are painting him now. We are writing the Program for a year. Let them work for you a little. It’s not only for you to do paperwork for them all the time.”

“Be careful with words! They’ll be offended and, instead of sending me a man, they will send me straight to the monastery.”

“Daphne, they won’t take you to the monastery.”

“Why?”

“You are needed here. In the world. Don’t indulge running to the monastery. So, how old is he?”

“Well, older than me.”

“How much? Ten, twenty, forty older?”

“No, why forty? Ten to fifteen is enough.”

“Does he drink, smoke?”

“He lives a healthy life, since he has to live another hundred years, at least,” I laughed.

“Do you mean he doesn’t drink even on holidays?”

“He drinks on holidays, like me, a bit. Probably he smokes.”

“Thank God, I was even worried about him. So is he a brunette or a blond?”

“I don’t know. Let’s say it this way, he is… light, at heart, as one of the Forces of Light.”

“Who is leader, you or him?”

“He is, of course.”

“Is he tall?”

“Yes, I feel my Self behind the Stone Wall. In every sense of the word.”

“By the way, do you wear heels in your city?”

“I do, Sasha.”

“I don’t believe, shouted Stanislavsky and asked Daphne to show it. Come on, let me see you walking.”

“Are you kidding?”

“The whole world is a theater, and we are all actors in it. Play, I want to see you in the city.”

Laughing, I stood on my tiptoes and paraded like on the catwalk. Sasha laughed and clapped his hands.

“Bravo, Daphne! I don’t understand why men don’t notice you. Well, it doesn’t matter. We’ll write everything down and program it now. Let’s continue our conversation. So, he is stronger and smarter than you, tall, a person of the Light, 10–15 years older, a friend of Jupiter, you are constantly flying around the world together. He is your Stone Wall and loves you…”

“He loves me madly, but doesn’t show it to me so that I don’t relax. He can’t imagine his life without me,” I laughed. “He accepts me as I am, no exceptions.”

“Oh, Daphne, you are a big and complete exception to all the earthly rules. Explain what you mean by no exceptions.”

“Well … He knows that I write spells, for example, and perform in different places. It doesn’t annoy him. He periodically comes to listen to me. He may even somehow help me in promoting my creativity. He likes the way I write. He is proud of me.”

“Is he jealous of your fans?”

“Jesus, where do you see my fans?”

“Daphne, we are now on the stage of the theater. We are playing your Dream. Let yourself go! You have a lot of fans. They show you on TV. Your posters are all over the city. You go abroad to perform. You are a star, Daphne. Get it over. So is he jealous or not?”

“Well then, of course, he’s jealous, Sasha! He sits in a bard-art club, for example. I am on the stage. And there are a bunch of bards, poets and fans applauding and looking at me.”

“No, Daphne, that’s no good! They are not just looking at you. They are lusting after you!”

I burst into laughter.

“Okay, I understand. He is jealous.”

“Jealous, but silently, not aloud. I love him, and I don’t care about the fans. But let him get jealous, not to relax.”

“Great, he is proud of you and jealous secretly. Good. What else should not irritate him in you?”

“The fact I’m periodically shown something by Another Reality. He doesn’t think I’m crazy. He is interested in what they show me.”

“Does he have something to do with Another Reality?”

“He may not have to deal with it directly, because he needs to be friends with Jupiter, but he believes that Another Reality exists. He looked into the eyes of Death. He is interested in what I can tell about Another Reality. We speak the same language.”

“Stop, Daphne! Didn’t they tell you that he’s not local?”

“Sasha, they told me that he is not of the same blood as me. True, I don’t really know what kind of blood is in me, but it’s not a fact that he is not local. I was told that perhaps I would leave for somewhere.”

“In short, it’s clear that nothing is clear. But the fact is, he must have a home somewhere out there.”

“Well… it would be nice if he has a house not only here but somewhere out there, as well.”

“Bad mark to you, Daphne. Why do you need a particle not? He has a house somewhere out There. Dot. Now choose a house.”

“Where to choose, somewhere out there?”

“No, here!”

“Why here? He has it somewhere out there!”

“Daphne, let him have a house here too, that is, not here, where we are with you now, but where you live, and somewhere else. The question is: what kind of house do you want to live in?”

“What a question!”

“I am now acting as Another Reality. It’s Another Reality asking you, not me. Don’t break your head, look around and choose. Do you like the house on the right?”

I looked at the house on the right.

“No, Sasha, not this one.”

“Daphne, you are capricious! Do you know how much it costs?”

“Why should I know? You’ll tell now how much it costs, you are a real estate expert, not me!”

“It costs two million.”

“One and a half,” I suddenly said.

“How do you know that?” Sasha was surprised.

“I don’t know. I’ve just got these numbers on the inner screen, 1 comma 5. But, in any case, there’s no way to do without Jupiter.”

“It’s dangerous to communicate with you, Daphne!”

“If someone is wrong in numbers, I’ll just correct a bit.”

“Well, choose your house. At least one!”

We were looking carefully at the houses of the local Rublyovka.

“This one, Sasha.”

“No doubts, the best one! I approve. And what is to be there inside?”

“A fireplace! I know for sure. I see a fireplace!”

“Where do you see it? In this house?”

“Not in this, but in his house.”

“Not in his, but in yours. Okay, fireplace, what else?”

“Shelves with books. Paintings. It’s warm and very cozy there.”

“Do you like doing interiors?”

“Yes, don’t feed me bread, let me decorate the interior.”

“Okay, you’ve already got the house. Where is it?”

“What do you mean where? Somewhere out there or where I live?”

“Listen, Daphne, your house is on Rublyovka.”

“On this local one?”

“Why do you need on this local one? On your local one!”

“Why on Rublyovka?”

“Why not? You had a house on Rublyovka, and it was set on fire. And you still come there to the river every summer, right?”

“Right.”

“So, Rublyovka is yours, Daphne. It’s no need to argue. It’s your Place of Power. Everyone who lives there now has no more rights to it than you, its native inhabitant. Besides, such hot spots need to be prayed for by someone. Well, I have already decided everything. The house is on Rublyovka, definitely.” Sasha was serious, but I was laughing. “Daphne, dream on! So how will you go there with no subway? You need a car… What kind of car do you have, girl?”

“We have several of them, Sasha. One is large, one is usual, one is for summer.”

“Bravo, Daphne, you play great! Tell me the brands!”

I laughed, “Do you think I know them? Cars can be big and small, beautiful and not so beautiful.”

“Okay, girl, let your Jupiter figure it out. Where do you drive from Rublyovka in the morning?”

“To work.”

“Amazing. Where do you work?”

“I have something in common with him. Something like my own.”

“Daphne, remember quickly, I’m already hungry!”

“You are just like Nonna! She played a sack of money with me.”

“Daphne, you are a star. You have concerts. What other job?”

“No, Sasha. Star is a hobby. I should have a job, too. I’ll leave for the Astral out of boredom if I don’t work. There are two options, either I work for him, in his own business, and help him there…”

“Keeping your eye on his finances?”

“Maybe.”

“That’s true as well, who else, if not you, given your nose for numbers. The first option is clear, what about the second?”

“Or it’s something mine, for my soul.”

“What could it be?”

“As, for example, Nonna says, I need something to deal with mystical interiors, perhaps with training, consultations on mysticism-esotericism-psychology. I see books and people coming to me, I help them somehow. I definitely say something to them, talk to them. I have a free schedule. And free-style clothing.”

“I see, Venus in Pisces. What else do you do together?”

“We have fun. I shouldn’t be bored. I hate boredom.”

“Daphne, it’s impossible to get bored with you anyway!”

“I need him to be very active as well and not lie on the sofa all day long, for example.”

“What else?”

“He shouldn’t be a petty bore. He speaks little, but to the point.”

“In short, he’s surely not a Virgo Sign. Okay, go on. Don’t stop, talk, I’m transmitting it.”

“Where?”

“Into Another Reality. I’m typing everything you say in that very Computer.”

“Not on the D disc, I hope?” I laughed.

“Don’t worry. So, he is tall, with a soul full of Light, 10–15 years older than you, stronger and smarter, a leader, of a healthy lifestyle, loves you madly, is interested in Another Reality, believes in it, is silently jealous of your fans, visits your performances, promotes you, a star, in terms of creativity, you are performing abroad. He is friends with Jupiter and turns a blind eye to trifles, you have two houses, one on Rublyovka with a fireplace, the other is somewhere out there, three cars, two businesses, one is his, the other is yours, you often travel the world and have fun, a constant firework of emotions. What else, Daphne? Ask for more so that at least something from the wish list is given out!”

“He is brave. Not afraid of many different stuff.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well… the same Many Things I’m afraid of.”

“Daphne, are you still afraid of something?”

“Yes, there are such big and furry…”

“Monkeys?”

“No.”

“Men?”

I burst in laughing, “With a bunch of huge paws, they weave all sorts of nets and sit in the center, and have crosses on their backs … just don’t ask me about them further, I’m already scared!”

“Daphne, I think he is not afraid of them, definitely!”

“It’s important that he doesn’t scare me with them. Well, not hiding them under the pillow, in my shoes or in my bags.”

“My Lord, who did it to you? He is brave enough to save you from them! What else are you afraid of?”

“Of dead people and ghosts.”

“Daphne… Did anybody frighten you with them too? Let’s agree that he is very brave and close this topic. What else about him?”

“He is gentle, caring and… passionate.”

“How much passionate, Daphne?”

“Just like a wolf! Wu-u-u-uh!”

“Wow, your eyes are on fire! I’m afraid of you, mademoiselle, keep distance! To look at you from the side, you are a girl, but it turns out, you are a wolf!”

“There is such a thing. The main thing is to wake the wolf up. The wolf periodically curls up dozing somewhere inside me,” I laughed.

“What else, Daphne?”

“I see a dog for some reason. A big one. I don’t know why. I’ve seen it suddenly.”

“Well, nobody will get bored with you, definitely! You don’t have to invent anything. It’s shown to you! Why don’t you want to see There, where to look for him Here?”

“I don’t need to look for him, Sasha. He will find me himself,” it suddenly burst out of me for some reason, and right there I saw, or rather, I knew something, that…

“Daphne, what’s wrong? What did they show you that made you suddenly gloomy? You were so earthy and cheerful! I have never seen you like that before! It really suits you to be earthy! You are a fashion model when you smile! I have almost conjured everything for you!”

Svetlana approached us.

“Why don’t you go to breakfast?”

“We’re on our way. We decided with Daphne to work out a little bit of Magic.”

“Really? What kind of Magic, white or black?”

“Svetlana, you are all about your own, about girlish. Is it possible to jump in the mountains and practice Black Magic at the same time?” I said with a smile.

“Well, can you tell me something? Some White Rite?”

“Svetlana, we are going to have breakfast now. Before eating and drinking, you can whisper something very kind and light, right on the food and water, and then enjoy your breakfast with both cheeks.”

“Are you kidding again, Alice?”

“No, I’m dead serious. Affirmations, Svetlana, can not only be written down and hung on the door, they can also be eaten at breakfast, lunch and dinner, anytime, in any quantity. They can enlarge you, not in terms of weight, but in terms of quality. Just exclude the particle not from the recipe and remember that they must be full of Light.”
