How to Choose Meditation When Teachers Say Different Things

In this conversation with Galya, I look at what to do when different teachers say opposite things about meditation, how to choose whom to listen to and what to rely on — and why what you should choose is not a meditation or a teacher, but a point of support in your own life.

You won’t be able to choose

– What should you do when different teachers say opposite things about meditation? How do you choose whom to listen to and whom not to? What should you rely on?

– I think this is an important point, even if you want to choose spiritual subjects to study for yourself. Look, first of all, you won’t be able to choose. Galya, honestly. Look: I have twenty videos, there are twenty videos on another channel, twenty on a third. You need to figure out the person you are watching. There are people for whom you don’t need to watch twenty videos: it’s immediately clear — you shouldn’t go to them. Or it’s immediately clear — you should go to them.

But the thing is, whether you watch these videos or not comes down to whether you have a certain energy, an impulse. The only thing you can do is turn your gaze toward wanting to understand the truth.

Could someone come to me who wants to take advantage and gain a certain state in order to tear apart all the people around him, or to have more money? In theory he might crawl his way here, but in reality it will be impossible. If he comes from that kind of construction — look, as soon as he decided to look at such a construction, that construction immediately hit him with a hammer. He hadn’t even watched anything.

You don’t need to watch my meditations. You discuss my energy with someone — obviously, Galya, that person encounters my energy. Well, not that he encounters my energy as such — he encounters certain energies, and he encounters them in any case. Before you even came to discuss it, he had encountered these energies: the system had already encountered them and had already brought about this conversation or not.

That is why these conversations happen with some people and don’t even happen with others. If it is meant to happen, it will happen, and the person will get there.

Can you choose on a material basis — as I said, in ChatGPT? But a person will still see in that table what they want to see, even if it draws some conclusions for them. Even if it does something, they will still choose on some impulse of their own. The question is — which one?

Once again: I know people who came to me, or to some good places, on an impulse of getting money or power, and afterwards their consciousness transformed. Can that happen? Why not? Of course it can. But at the core there is still an impulse on which a person comes. Why does he want to do this?

There is no goal; it becomes life

I think you have to choose everything: define your goal for yourself very clearly — what you want. But when you encounter the spiritual world, there is no goal there — it becomes life. For me it is life. There is no goal.

Of course, I can embellish different areas, explain: this practice is for this, this one is for that, and this one is for that. Look over here, and look at these energies over here. But that is touching on the study of energy. It makes no difference to me what result a person gets from it.

There is a difference in only one thing, and it is guaranteed: a person’s perception will expand. That is the only way.

And beyond that, it’s all some algorithms that showed you a video one more time or didn’t, and you watched it. It resonated with you or it didn’t — or some practice did.

I know a huge number of people who went to some practices simply by chance. I remember that up to a certain age I didn’t know any words at all — esotericism, the spiritual world — nothing at all, just zero, nil. I knew only some religious movements. I remember a girl came to me and said, “You and your partner need to go to a certain place.” We were like, “Ah, okay, let’s go.” What was that? Of course, there is a description of what those energies were, the causes, the effects, the details and everything else. But look, the fact itself: it was a certain event that changed everything that was happening.

Choose not a meditation or a teacher, but a point of support

Even if you want to study the spiritual world — do you want to study it in order to profit at other people’s expense, to become stronger or to be cooler in some kind of vision or perception? Or do you want to become better for the world — not from a position of manipulation, but from a position of truth? To try to bring this love, this benefit, to other people. And every person has the possibility and the potential for this. Inside, in their systems, the whole spectrum of what is needed for this to happen is stored. That, in fact, is what I wish for everyone.
