Chapter Three:
The Healing of Rodion
Soon Alexey was accepted into the community by the common consent of everyone.
He was now trying to help each of his newly acquired brothers and sisters in whatever way that he could.
One day, one of the people living in the community, Rodion, became deeply troubled.
He had come to the community only three years ago.
In the past, he was an Old Believer, a “schismatic”, who managed to escape from his executioners. He, dying in the forest from exhaustion and wounds, had been found by the community members who were patrolling the surrounding area.
He was saved from death, but only partially healed. Rodion was allowed to stay in the community, because he had nowhere else to go. But he still had not become an accepted member of the community. And his health was severely impaired and did not recover.
Alexey decided to try to help him.
This was not his first attempt in healing other people.
He had already previously tried to apply those new healing skills, which by that time had already been taught to him by Rada, when he spent part of his time in his hermitage and sometimes visited people living in the village.
Although it was only a small amount of experience, it was nevertheless successful and inspired Alexey.
So, Alexey decided to try to help. He saw suffering, both spiritual and physical, in Rodion. This was not something that Alexey could pass by indifferently!
That day, Rodion was particularly bad. He was sitting on a rock near a spring, gathering the strength to get up.
Alexey brought water to his house… He went inside and helped groaning Rodion to lie down.
Alexey asked him if there was anything else that he could help him with.
And there was so much sadness and pain in Rodion’s eyes that Alexey sat next to him on the edge of the bed and began to listen to his bitter words:
“But how can I be helped?… It seems that I do not have long to live in this world! My body, after those tortures, will not be able to be healed… My end is near…
“God does not give me a happy life in this community, although I had dreamed and hoped that I would accept this new life with this new faith, and be able to see and understand God…
“Maybe I’m sinning because I left my old faith, what do you think?
“Do you not doubt that maybe you also made a mistake, by rejecting the faith in which you were baptized?”
"But I did not renounce my faith! I believed in Jesus — and now I also believe in Him! And now, I do not just believe, but I see Him, I hear Him, and I try to learn the great Wisdom and Love from Him! The Advice on how to live, on how to behave — I can now ask from Him. Is this a renunciation? On the contrary, much of my knowledge has now been added to my old belief. And my faith has been strengthened! My understanding has expanded!”
“And what? Is there no doubt in you at all?”
“Of course, there is… Only I do not doubt in my faith, but only in the correctness of my understanding. And — in whether the knowledge is learned and applied correctly… Such doubts are needed to make fewer mistakes!”
“But I have no rest in the soul! Sometimes, I remember my wife, and my children who were killed… My Pauline — decided to keep the old faith! The children who were born to us — were called ‘illegitimate’… And I remember their killers — up to this day!… And our ‘friends’… Out of fear for their own lives and the lives of their families, they betrayed me and sent me to a trial ‘as an instigator of mutiny’… I cannot forgive them!… There was not even a thought in me about a ‘mutiny’!
“I understand intellectually that all of them should be forgiven… I should forgive and forget!… But I can’t!…
“Perhaps it would have been better if I had accepted my death back then? Of what value is this present life of mine to me?!”
“And do you often have such thoughts, Rodion?”
“Yes, often… How can I not think this way? Here everyone in the community is healthy and happy… And I — out of some kind of mercy — am allowed to live here… I’m a stranger here! Although all of them have accepted me with kindness, and they are trying to help…”
“And have you not thought that the cause is in you yourself?”
“That’s what I’m telling you about…”
“But you do not speak rightly, you do not think correctly!…
“Rada taught me how to correctly guide thoughts and emotions when I want to heal my body or another’s body. Or — when one plans and builds a new life.
“Understand: for the sake of approaching God and serving Him — it is worthwhile to live, if God prolongs your life!
“Can you imagine if Rada were to hate her father’s killers every day and if she were to remember them every day?
“The contact of her father with her often happens, although without a body. He is happy! And she is too! From the love, which is between them, — there is always joy! And not sadness!”
“… But I do not know how to see my beloved ones, I can only mourn for them… And I cannot see Jesus… And I cannot heal my body… Though your Rada taught me that, and others also taught me…”
“That’s what I’m trying to tell you about!
“I used to say prayers when healing someone, but at the very bottom of my heart I did not believe that it would happen…
“And Rada taught me that during healing, one needs to see and feel the bodies of oneself and of the one who is to be healed as completely healthy, as it will turn out. And then — one needs to unite the strength of the soul with the Power of God — and send It to the body, so that the recovery can become a reality!
“In this case, the faith, knowledge, and strength of the soul and God’s Providence — must unite into one! Only then the transformation and healing happen! If you still have thoughts in your mind about the impossibility of this and about the vainness of your efforts, then they stand up, like a stone wall blocking the way. How can you heal your body, if you yourself often think that it cannot happen, and that it would be better for you to die? You only briefly try sometimes to light the body with a healing Light, to rid yourself of infirmity and suffering…”
“But how else can I do this? I myself cannot even imagine myself healthy… There they all are able to heal, but they could not cure me completely… How can I do it myself?”
“Do you want me to try? Right now!”
“Do you want my body, which was crippled by torture, suddenly to be free from pain and infirmity? Even Blagoslav could not do it, and you — can?”
“God endows the person, who is ready to serve Him, with the Great Power! If you accept God’s help now without a doubt — you will be well! If He wills it.”
… A clear confidence and a certain radiant joy came from Alexey. Thus, Rodion — with surprise and trepidation — agreed.
* * *
It worked!
At some point, it seemed to Alexey that there was not enough strength, and the Stream of Divine Power had weakened… But Alexey put all his faith, all his love, as if sweeping away all the obstacles preventing the healing…
It was a miracle for Alexey himself, and for the one who was healed…
… Alexey left Rodion’s house, staggering from the sudden fatigue… He hardly reached his hut.
Rada had seen him and asked worriedly:
“Are you all right? What has happened to you?”
Alexey wanted to answer that everything was fine, but suddenly his eyes darkened and he fainted.
… He woke up in bed.
Rada sat next to him and her gentle fingers touched Alexey’s face.
“Why did you do it?!… Do you think that here, in the community, everyone is so indifferent? Or that no one can heal, except you?
“Be quiet, lie still! I see that you did not think so!…
“Every disease has a reason. For any healing — its time should come…
“Do you understand that you, on yourself, on your body, have taken everything that Rodion should have undergone for understanding and full recovering?”
“Please, do not heal me yourself now! I’ll manage… If I’m the one who is to blame, then answer me…”
From the words of Alexey, Rada even had tears…
She hugged him, pressed herself gently to him, and kissed him…
“Don’t be afraid for me, my dear, my beloved! Forgive me for scolding! I was very scared for you!
“Now I will teach you how you will need to be treated. And I will only help very slightly… And about me — do not worry: it does not hurt me!
“Do you remember how I showed you the Atmic Force, Which is perceived, as if in a deep well, filled with shining Whiteness? And I showed you then how to awaken this Light and let It into the body.
“Then I explained how this Atmic Force helps in the meditations of Mergence with God — for It is the Reserve, Which is accumulated in man precisely for the mastery of life in the Divine world.
“This Divine Power can be used for healing: for your own healing, and for healing others. See: I now help you a little to awaken It and to let It into the body.”
Alexey saw by the soul very clearly everything that was happening and was aware of everything.
The blissful state of dissolution in Transparency… Then — the Strong Stream of the shining Light from the special Repository began to rise up…
As if through a thick glow of transparent light — Alexey heard Rada’s voice:
“Now fill with this fluid Light every corner in your body, including your hands and feet. And it is also necessary to wash everything in the head with this Stream, so that through the body — as if through an empty shell — this Light can be poured through and can pour out behind the head.
“You now think by the soul, and therefore the Divine understanding about many things can come to you. You — just try to let it all happen…
“Feel how much God loves you! Let everything, which is separate from God inside of you, merge and dissolve completely with the Divine Light…
“If you suddenly need something — then I’m here, just call me…

The next day, Blagoslav went to see the recovering Alexey.
Alexey tried to stand up to meet the guest.
Blagoslav stopped him:
“Lie still! You need to restore your strength!…”
“I’m almost healthy!… Rada gives me healing broths and helps me as if I were a small child!”
“Well, fine!”
Blagoslav involuntarily smiled affectionately, then tried to take a severe look, as if trying to hide a smile in his snow-white mustache and beard. But such a formidable look did not happen on that day, although he came as if to instruct Alexey to be more careful when he heals people.
Blagoslav was filled with some special reverent tenderness for this man, who — by the Will of God — so surprisingly had entered both his life and the life of their entire community.
Afterwards, Blagoslav looked at Alexey in a special way: not with the eyes of the body, but with clairvoyance, checking the state of the energies in Alexey’s body:
“All right, everything is fine already,” — he summed up the result.
After a pause, he added:
“You scared Rada!… And I, it must be said, was surprised!
“Understand, Alexey: you must not heal people without asking God, without analyzing their fates! You already heard about this more than once, and understood it when listening! And now — what have you done?!
“The fact that you take the pain on yourself — it’s not so bad… But the second half — well, you can damage that soul if you do this without the necessary transformation of that soul!
“It is wrong to interfere into the fates of people without God’s blessing! And when you undertake this work, then it is necessary to do it together with God and with deep understanding and responsibility, but not just because of the desire to help the sufferer at any cost!
“The souls, which live in bodies, are very different! Some still only begin to learn thinking and understanding, others — are even completely unreasonable and even the simplest knowledge is not feasible for them yet, and it even is not necessary for them! There are only a few souls who have already accumulated strength and wisdom.”
“So, was it not for Rodion’s benefit that it was done?”
“No: it was for the good! You have managed to heal both the body and the soul!
“God turns everything around you into something good, He creates wonders through you! This is what I am now amazed by! But just do not think that it will be always this way again, if wisdom is not added to you through these events!
“And with Rodion — everything is alright! He asked about you more than once: worried that, because of him, you’re sick!…
“Yes… The power in you is no longer little!… And God helps you in a way that not everyone has experienced!
“Diseases — are not given in vain! And they are not always punishments!
“And now you have understood a lot, I hope.
“Often, people, who became great healers, became as such because of great diseases in their own bodies, from which they sought salvation. And sometimes — it is through illness — that God explains to man what is now to be realized.
“Sometimes it happens that in order to help a person, one needs to see the past lives of this soul, to understand: why his or her fate has been made as such?”
“Rada told me about the fact that souls are incarnated many times in bodies and live more than one earthly life. Only I do not know how to see this…
“And why is it not mentioned in the Bible, in the Gospels? Why is this?”
“In different earthly religions, there is usually only a partial reflection of the Truth. In some — the reincarnation of souls into new bodies is mentioned, in others — there are some right words about the Divine Consciousness, but there are no other important words. Usually, in specific religions, there is also present that which people have brought into it themselves — the rites and beliefs from their own understanding, and often — from their own self-interests. There is also that which the priests removed from their religious books — according to their understanding: as incomprehensible or unhelpful for establishing a cult.”
“And why do people not remember that they lived on the Earth before? It would be easier to repent and heal — if one knew what was sinning before…”
“Only an adult and a wise soul is able to understand and repent!
“People can recall their past lives only when they are ready for these kinds of memories. When anything from this memory is necessary to the soul, God can show fragments of those earthly lives.
“But children or souls that are still young and weak — cannot bear such knowledge!
“Imagine how life would become a nightmare for a person who is not strong enough yet as a soul, who rushed to the good — but would suddenly remember that he or she committed grave crimes in a past life… This is not endurable for the soul which has not become strong in the good! Such memories can damage the mind!
“But everything in the universe is organized by God wisely and for the good…
“Difficulties in the fate of a soul are often a remedy for the evil committed in the past. They can be manifested, for example, in diseases of the body as early as the moment of birth…
“And the memory of great achievements in past lives can also not be useful to the soul, for it can provoke both pride and vanity.
“See also that those qualities, which the person has already cultivated before in himself or herself, — they will always be in him or her!
“There is some kind of special repository for all the most valuable energy that the soul has accumulated over many lives in bodies. This shining Stream, by Which you have now healed your body, is the Treasure that God had saved for you in your many incarnations. This is the Secret Divine Subtlety in man. In India, this Energy is called Kundalini. This Force was accumulated for you — just so that you could feel yourself as One with the Divine Primordial Consciousness. You have experienced it many times in the past in brief moments — and so the soul gradually learned to be Divine! Now you can do it completely consciously! The time has come!”
And then Blagoslav told Alexey much about the possibilities of interaction with this Divine Force, which can be learned in the future. They also talked about how to ask God concerning the causes of illnesses and look into the past of each soul — to help intelligently, wisely, and effectively.

Rodion, once again came to ask about Alexey’s health — and met Blagoslav, who was leaving the hut.
Rodion said embarrassedly and guiltily:
“How is he? I did not want that… He himself suggested it…”
“Do not worry, Rodion! No one blames you!….”
“But how is it that I am well, while Alexey…?”
“It’s okay, he will get better! He is already almost healed!”
“I had never before seen someone like him before… I did not even know that there are such people…”
“And now, Rodion, I also learn from Alexey… I thought a lot how to help you, and I could not understand it! But he has seen — and helped!… I speak not about bodily healing! But he has brought you back to the positive life!”
“Yes… I understand this… For me, Blagoslav, maybe, it is not fated to grow up to your wisdom and skills… But I know now what I should live for! I will try to become like Alexey! Then, maybe, he will not have cured me in vain!”
