…I was flying from Moscow to Toronto. I like working in Moscow because people there follow advice very attentively, work very hard and make great progress very quickly.

I took my seat in the airplane and decided to relax and meditate during the first hour of the flight.

I noticed that footstep in front of my seat was broken and it was difficult for me to stretch my legs. I called a flight attendant, she tried to help me but after several attempts she told me with irritation in her voice: “It is impossible to repair the step, I’m sorry”.

A ten hour flight….It was announced that TV wouldn’t work. But it was ok, it is more important when the engine works well. There is an interesting fact about TV in Airflot Airlines: for several times I have noticed that they do not show programs in foreign languages, only in Russian. Perhaps, they don’t believe that any foreigner could choose their airlines.

I was thinking why I had attracted such an irritating situation with the footstep and flight attendant. The reason was my inner aggression against Airflot. When I was flying from Toronto to Moscow, the flight was delayed for 2 days, then for 8 more hours. To make the matter worse in an hour after the take-off, it was announced that there would be no water available for the rest of the flight….

I felt the inner aggression grow and started to work on it. I began transmitting Love to everybody and did my best to accept the situation. The matter is that before the flight I had been very tired after some stressful days and all I wanted was just to relax, but perhaps God had different plans on me and relaxation was not on the list. I thanked him for the fact that (the plane was flying) and the engine worked well. From heaven the whole scenario of our life is seen better. If I faced such a situation – so it must have been necessary for me.

I felt more relaxed, the positive energy was increasing. The flight attendant suggested changing the seat for the better one. I began reading …

Soon the flight attendants handed out Canadian declarations to fill in. I noticed one girl; she was helping people to fill in the declarations in English. Under the sweater she wore a sari and she had an Indian bag – I understood, she was flying from India.

I kept on reading. In 30 minutes the girl saw my empty declaration and offered her help. I thanked her saying that I could do it myself. I asked her about her activity. With great pleasure she told me that during the last 2 years she had been doing courses in the Vipassanā meditation.

I had a thought: “It is not interesting to you, Rami, you used to practice Vipassana long time ago.” However I stopped the stream of such thoughts and “took the role of a student“ becoming all ears. She showed some pictures and shared her feelings and impressions with me. I received a lot of knowledge and inspiration to lead my life more consciously. The course of Vipassana is really good, it teaches us to calm down our mind, to be ”here and now”, lead a conscious life. Everyone on these courses works free, on enthusiasm, if you want – you can donate.

I decided to advertise those courses in our magazine “Blagodarenie”. I also gave some pieces of good advice about her health and lifestyle.  She was surprised and asked me a lot of serious questions. My computer was in the other end of the plane, so I had to work without it.

She had good energy. I told her about her illnesses and weaknesses, described the lifestyle and the meal that were good for her. She agreed – when she was leading life like this, she felt perfect.

Two serious problems were the reason of her weaknesses: unacceptance of her female nature and aggression against men in her subconsciousness. She confirmed it – her father left the family when she was a child and during all her life she was facing lots of problems in relationships with men.

She told me that the most important thing for her was meditation and spiritual life. I drew her chakras – “You see, the second chakra, that is responsible for creativity and sexual life, is in  disharmony. You are not a ‘nun’.” She blushed and said that she had a big sexual desire, but she didn’t want to become pregnant and there was no one, who she wanted to get married to.

I explained to her how our subconscious programs influence our life and how she could change her life. The girl was shocked, when I told that if she didn’t follow my advice, she wouldn’t marry anyone and wouldn’t become pregnant. Her meditation also wouldn’t help her to solve physical and mental problems.

The girl had a lot of questions, but our conversation had been lasting already for an hour and a half, it was really enough for her.

I said goodbye to her and returned to my computer. I made her astrological chart, and understood that the girl was on a high spiritual level and she could be a good psychologist or a teacher, but she should work hard on her relationships with men. I wished all the best to her got back to my notes.

In the end of the flight I realized:

-    if there is an unpleasant situation and you have accepted it, thanking God,  you are filling with bliss, and the problem will be solved quicker.

-    if your mind is opened, and you don’t pretend better than anyone,  you will receive useful knowledge from other people.

-    the situation with the girl was a good example that unselfish desire to help gives us the support from the Universe; the girl offered me her help, and she received my help – for an hour and a half I was listening about her school of meditation, suggested advertising in my magazine “Blagodarenie”, and during the next hour I was giving advice and trying to help her to solve some problems.

-    my wish to help the girl was unselfish and sincere, so after our conversation I felt much better and my feeling of bliss grew.

-    I understood again, that unless a person accepts a difficult situation, forgives and respects his/her parents – he/she won’t have a real progress. It is really important to work on the situation with parents, to love them and to accept.

-    moreover, it is very important to lead your life in accordance with your nature: a man must develop his male nature, and a woman must develop her female nature, we must accept our own sex.

I’ve decided to conduct serious seminars on this topic, but probably next year.
