The event I would like to tell you about took place seven years ago in Kurgan, a big industrial city in the Urals. The local volunteers had organized an Astral planetary Karate seminar and my assistant and I had gone there to run it.

Yet, my story had started a while before that. I find it difficult to pinpoint when exactly my soul started searching for Knowledge. To be more precise, it was when the years of suffering and searching for the meaning of life created the conscious necessity to oppose the meaninglessness of human life with a reasonable explanation. My search for spiritual guidance brought me to Altai where I obtained Knowledge. The search for true Knowledge had never been easy, and at those times, in the Soviet Union, it was not just hard, but also dangerous.

Being unchanged in its fundamental nature, Knowledge would always come to people of different times and epochs under different names. To me Knowledge unfolded during some autumn days amongst the Altai Mountains’ peaks, in the mode and form of Astral Karate, whose historical roots go all the way back to ancient Egypt and the epoch of Maya, and whose tracks are lost in mysterious Atlantis. A forerunner of many later spiritual traditions, the school of Astral Karate teaches to control your own energy as well as the energies of the Universe, and to direct them to working for a good cause, protecting people from danger and harm, giving them the power to achieve genuine benefits both in the spiritual and material worlds.  

Trying to live my life at the peak of human abilities, I never searched for a quiet and protected life, which is why it is full of unpredictable and sometimes risky situations. Astral planetary Karate at times literally saved my life as it happened that time in the Urals. Then, I had not only achieved some success in the arts of energy manipulation, but also, with the blessing of my Teacher, had started teaching it to others.

The first thing that went wrong, happened when we had just arrived: at the terminal we were told that there was no hall where we could hold the seminar as, at very short notice, the organizers of the seminar had declined its use and we were, thus, left with the urgent need of looking for an alternative solution. Because the seminar was supposed to start in a couple of hours away, we decided to run it at one of the organizer’s house. She had a three bedroom flat in the centre of the city, which was quite a luxury at those times.

Some thirty or, may be, even forty people had turned up at the workshop. The flat was packed with people, but I was used to adapting to any situation, so the workshop ended up running according to plan.  At first we did some warming up exercises, prepared our bodies, mind and emotions to receive Knowledge and before getting into deeper practices. Then I gave a lecture about the different kinds of sans - energetic influences - and about the means of protections from those influences. When I was talking the room where we had gathered in was extremely silent.

All contacts could be divided into positive and negative. The former gives a state of peace, power, confidence, harmony, stability and joy. If the objects of those contacts are permanent, their state and influence on us do not change with time, as it is the case with: a Guru, the spiritual Egregor and the Highest Cosmic powers, which we call God and nature. The latter creates in us a state of worry, anxiety, anger, fear and other similar feelings. Those are the main influences on our everyday living in a society, whose way of running is not centred on spirituality. In sans–contacts there is always a dominant part, the part which possesses more energy or higher frequency of vibration. In the first instance it dictates behaviour and in the second the category of feelings and thoughts.

The material presented in the workshop was vast and complicated, but people were absorbing the Knowledge with great hunger, refusing even to take a lunch break. So I continued: “Negative sans–contacts are the reason of energy loss,  imbalance of the energy field, which in turns cause diseases, neurosis and other negative states, as well as,  and most importantly, dependency, especially for people unable of defending themselves against  those contacts”.  

After finishing the lecture I went to the corridor to discuss some organizational matters with the hostess of the flat. At the same time my assistant was exercising with people the breathing ‘kata’, a very effective exercise to fill up the personal energy field with energy and to cleanse the aura from any deposit of negative energy.

We had just started our conversation when we heard some noise and swearing outside the door. The woman became pale in her face. In that moment the door opened and a big unshaved man pushed through the door carrying on the swearing. The man was quite drunk and looked more like an aggressive beast then a human being. He was our hostess’s partner who had come home unexpectedly and at the wrong time. Seeing me, a strange man in his girlfriend’s house, had made him furious. He lost his mind totally, pulled out a knife and started walking towards me.

Time is the most incomprehensible thing in the world: from then on all events happened in the blitz of the moment, although in my memory they felt as though they had lasted for a few hours. The speed of time had slowed down and each little detail of the event left a clear imprint in my memory. I even managed to check out the tattoos on his huge fists: they looked like the kind of work done in a prison.  A thought flashed through my mind:  “This one could easily kill”. Yet, the responsibility for the people who were in the adjacent room did not allow fear to take over.  No one should be hurt. A decision came to me in a split second:  I decided to choose the highest way of protection: praying for my enemy. I recalled the face of my Teacher, opened my heart to the highest power and started praying.  The hostess of the flat for a few short moments had carried on trying to hold this furious man, and those brief moments were enough to allow for a change to take place in the space around us. This became thick and filled with incredibly powerful vibrations, affecting my enemy in an amazing way. He stopped half way as if paralyzed, and froze like a statue a couple of meters away from me with his knife raised in the air. I kept on praying. Everything was still uncertain. Any moment a thought could enter this space of inner silence, rendering the power of prayer weaker and the protective field, which was holding the man up, lesser dense. He started moving towards me in a slow motion, but when I could return to a deeper state of prayer, he froze again. A few minutes passed like this, but it could have been a few centuries. The man’s eyes, empty of all expressions and blood stained from anger, slowly started brightening up, and his drunken haze started to lift. “What are you doing to me?” With these words he dropped the knife, his legs gave in, he fell on his knees and started weeping. His girlfriend quickly picked up the knife and hid it. Being in telepathic contact with my Teacher, I silently asked Him if the danger was over and He answer that it was. 

The man kept on weeping for a while, becoming more and more sober and clearer in his mind. Then, after some time, he looked at me with absolutely clear eyes. I recognized in him an intelligent man, someone who had been through a lot in his life. I helped him to get up and we went to the kitchen.

There we started chatting. The man, whose name was Vadi, told me about his hard life: how his mother and he had been struggling, how he grow up without a father, without fatherly guidance in his life and how he had ended up in prison. After his release from it, for the first time in his life he had met with a stroke of good luck, when he had known this wonderful woman, who understood him. Yet, as he had never learn the proper way to be in a close relationship, he had tormented her and himself with jealousy.

I told him who I was, where I came from and what I did; I told him about this unique method of protection I used. He turned out to be a very intelligent and refined person. With great interest he absorbed everything I told him. I realized then that this person was also destined to be guided by Knowledge. The next day he joined our group and bought all the books I had with me.

We hardly ever met since, my path led me further on, far away from my cold motherland, but I know that this man is now running Astral planetary Karate workshops in his home town.

As God’s ways of leading us to Knowledge are unpredictable, we should keep our hearts open.  Knock and it shall be opened!
