A Crossing or the Drop’s History

By Anatoliy Obraztsov

This book should not be read.
It broadens the mind. It answers so many questions but more questions remain after reading. It explains complicated things simply. It works.
Hold on and think carefully if you should read "History of Drop". It does not matter whether or not you agree with what it says. Finally, you would like to check if it is the truth written there. Well, for example, that Adam was not a man. He was not a human at all.
"A Crossing or the Drop’s History" is the truth about reality. Will you have enough courage to accept it?

"You are in the way if you even don't know about it." You should agree: this phrase is rather intricate. What the way is? How can I be ignorant that I am in the way? When I am lying on the sea beach and having a cooling drink, am I in the way too? But I don't move to anywhere! It's comprehensible that by "way" we mean not a physical definition, but a process of spiritual development, self-cognition and cognition the surrounding world. This way is full of comprehension, inner choices, solutions and excitement. Therefore anyone has got a personal way. People come to identical conclusions at the end, but spiritual ways are always different. There are no identical ways in fact. It can be compared to ordinary physical road: you are going and supporting yourself with a stick. On the spiritual way you are supporting yourself with only your own will, but then you realize that you aren't lonely: many hands, eyes, hearts are ready to support you, to introduce their own experience. Many are ready to support you gently and freely, giving you the right of choice of the development direction. Freedom and responsibility are simultaneous categories in fact; when you realize the responsibility and accept it, you become free - you are ready inside to pay any price for your choice. As many of us do, Anatoliy has been thinking about the life sense since childhood, but those thoughts hadn't obliged to anything - they were born just due to childish curiosity. Most of us seem to become studying our inner world with special care and enthusiasm just after being submerged to approbation. Something of that kind has happened to Anatoliy: his biography was in the style of the list of verbs: "was born", "has finished", "was working". He was born on May, 1 in 1961, graduated Dnepropetrovsk Chemical-Technological Institute, from where he turned to come to the town of Severodonetsk according to the Soviet duty to work at definite place for 3 years after graduating a state high school. At the late 80-eth he became the first (it would be more right to say the last) Secretary of Lugansk Regional Committee of Komsomol. In the 90-eth he became one of the most powerful businessmen in Lugansk region (when could he think of the life sense - no one minute of free time). But in the 2000th everything changed dramatically - competitors attacked, the conflicts with law and order system began that led somebody to his end, but as for Anatoliy it became just the beginning, the second birth. It's strange of course to begin the second, i.e. spiritual birth in the Investigation isolator, but a leopard can't change its spots. In 2005 Anatoliy was prisoned at the Investigation isolator, where he spent 5 years while the court investigation was lasting. It's not easy to stay prisoned for 5 years without any court verdict, without knowing the guilt and further perspectives being separated from habitual lifestyle and orienteer's. One can change oneself in such situation or just move to the finish through accumulation of offence and anger on people. As you can understand there is much free time in the Investigation isolator, so many unsettled questions reminded of themselves. He began reading much, meditating and achieved some results at the end. One of the result was the achievement of the controlled state of death in meditation. Though Anatoliy doesn't like comparison his state with the clinic death, but the fact is registered: his heart was not beating for 10 minutes and there was not breathing either. Just after that Anatoliy approbated many world practices of meditation, deepened into the wisdom roots, discovered some force in him unknown before, wrote more than ten books about the Universe and a man's place in it, changing of people's fate who stay next to. His further work is going to be the "Way of Heart" - a complex of methodologies, which promote any person of any confession, physical condition or spiritual state to develop harmonically. It's clear, that a very interesting life is ahead, and it's important to introduce a personal experience to everybody who is in the way, even if one doesn't realize he is in the way while having his cooling drink, that is also the way.

PREFACE

Corridors. Corridors are different; they live their own life absorbing feelings of those ones who moves along them from dream to dream, from joy to sorrow and then backward…

The corridors of maternity hospitals are full of joy and delight while opening the way to a new life. The corridors of kindergartens, where life is growing and is leaning to the Sun, are playful and merry; they don’t comprehend any problems. School corridors make noise and feel amazement envying constantly optimism and fast growing older of those ones, who moves along them swiftly, gaining more and more knowledge. Students corridors worry and thrill before the future responsibility. The corridors that let out loving couples to life are ecstatic from happiness. The corridors of the old ones are melancholic. The corridors that see off former babies to the last way are sad.

Something special feel corridors of prison, where all the human feelings are reflected: sorrow, confusion, sadness, offence, pain and also resolve, readiness, optimism, joy. They take people and see them off without knowing of their further fate.

At the crossing of such corridors, at the investigation isolator in prison, this story began. Different people met here at that evening — age, nationality, faith and non-faith, wealth and poverty — everything was different. Accusation, blame, time of coming and leaving, the force of feelings — everything differed. And suddenly the light has gone away, the door blocked automatically, the movement stopped. The quiet became heavy and thick. The drops, that were falling from the ceiling, sounded too loudly in this quiet while reaching the floor and counting the moments of eternity.

Nobody shook when a calm, confident and strong voice that appeared from this thick quiet sounded. It radiated such power, such confidence and knowledge that the quiet became even thicker.

— Do you know, what the crossing, the cross is?

The question didn’t require the answer and the quiet continued its holiday. The time stopped suddenly, everybody felt it, and the next drop stopped in the air and began producing indistinct illusory light. The voice continued:

— Nothing appears and nothing disappears, it only changes the form. This drop was present at the birth of universe, it keeps memory of everything, it has seen everything and has been everywhere.

The thoughts stopped in my head but inexplicable inner joy and great thirst revived in it. That thirst was not a mere wish to drink, but the thirst of the body that hasn’t drunk for long, when every cell of organism cries and requires moisture. At this moment an indescribable picture of everything, that a person can dream to learn, bloomed inside me. Thousands, millions of questions and the replies simultaneously have met in the same point. That was all the fate of the drop, all the mankind’s fate, all the fate of Universe. Grandiosity and details of the learnt knowledge surpassed the ability of the man, but everything continued living in me.

How can it be described?

It looks as if I had been standing in the darkness before, taking some diamonds in the hand; suddenly the light switched on and it turned, that there are ordinary stones in my hands, but there are piles of sparkling diamonds all around up to the horizon.

The drop has fallen down.

The voice has sounded:

— We are standing at the crossing. One straight line — it’s a person’s life from the birth to the grave with all its problems, victories and losses, joys and sorrows, sufferings and happy moments. The second straight line is the role of a person, his real matter and aim. Though we are in the prison — and it’s symbolic: all people are in prison of personal imaginations — every of you has the freedom of choice by what road to go. You and only you take the decision.

The light has switched on, the movement began and everybody went his personal, but now not his personal road. The personal one needed to be found.

The court process finished long ago; I am free and I have made my choice, but everything I had seen, and I had partly known calls me to tell this story, the most fantastic but the most real from any possible ones. You will see it in the form of some books soon.

Having overcome this, having felt this, I ask about the favour — don’t believe any word. But if the story will call you to the search, to the way, we shall help you and EVERY of you will be able to try this. You are free to choose. To read or not to read, to love or not to love, to love or not to live, to be or not to be…

Part 1. HOW TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER

Hello, my dear friends, I am that one Drop and I know you all and everybody knows me — these words can express that inexpressible feeling that was born in my head during that memorable meeting at the prison’s crossing.

First of all, I want to make an agreement with you, my friends, about the kind of contacting during this unusual story telling.

I’ll speak about the unusual things, partly disputable ones, and I am worrying for us to have identical understanding of them. That’s why, I’ll try to explain some important concepts during our communication, and not only to explain but try to reach an agreement with you, my friend, that you mean just the same ideas for we have no muddle.

We all seldom think of problems of mutual understanding, though they have been spoken about since very old times — remember the Bible, the story about the Babylon Tower building. It’s much deeper that it is being explained. People don’t understand each other not because somebody is an English, somebody is a French and somebody is a Ukrainian. It’s not difficult to study the language, but it’s very difficult to understand each other.

Many ideas will be told between the lines. I am writing my book not myself only; I have many co-authors — the Drop, the sky, the stars, the birds, the trees…— everybody, who had been before me. I’ll make you acquainted with them later. So, don’t think much, have a rest, absorb the story and most things from it will find the way to your heart themselves. The matter is: while discussing any topic with you — from Universe to the box of matches — I face the situation that you have already formed your personal ideas and opinions on every of these topics. Some of them are vague, but in some ideas you are convinced firmly. If I say something that coincides with your inner convictions, you are glad and receipt the information. If my thoughts clash with your not firm convictions, you will argue with me due to the inborn nature of a man. But if my thoughts will bump your firm belief to the opposite idea — your mind will try to resist them. That’s why I’d like to ask you — don’t read prejudicially. If you are interested in any disputable question, we are ready to discuss it, if you are angry — we are accessible for contacting. But remember that I have an ally — the Drop, and it knows everything.

Dear reader, let’s come into the wonderful world!

Part 2. THE BEGINNING. A UNIVERSE GRAIN

…Endlessness and Emptiness…

It’s impossible to imagine this, and tender character can be shocked from this mirage. A man thinks that Endlessness is something the borders of which are very-very far. I mean the real Endlessness in fact.

We have often heard the expression endless space of universe. Of course, we realize that the borders are present, but they are very far.

The endless sky seemed to our ancestors the limit of something huge. We are widening the borders of our representations, but however they remain stable. Our experience hasn’t faced really endless things, so it’s impossible to imagine this.

There are also problems with the Emptiness. If we even don’t see anything, there is something in the Space: dust, different waves and radiation. I speak about the real Emptiness…

Imagine you have an empty box. What is there inside it? Very many things — air, microorganisms, dust. But what are all these things situated in? In Emptiness. You have taken the box and carried it to other place. What have you carried? Air, microorganisms — yes. But Emptiness? No, you haven’t carried the Emptiness, it is everywhere, and anywhere you would carry the box, the Emptiness will stay at the same place, and only the matter we have limited it with the box’s walls makes the illusion of emptiness movement.

We build a house — erect the walls, make the floor, the ceiling. What do we do in fact? We are limiting emptiness. Only if there is emptiness, we can put the furniture inside. Even the entrance to our house — the door — is emptiness too and due to it we can come into. So the only one that is present everywhere: on the Earth, the Moon, the Sun and in the Universe — that is emptiness and it is being filled while not being disappeared.

A tree grows up from a small grain. Where is it growing to? To emptiness. It has grown up, has bloomed, than has dried and has perished. And emptiness has stayed unchanged.

A man penetrates deeper into the matter. Indivisible atom is divided now, and the items it has been divided into are divided too and there is no end at this process. But the Emptiness is stepping aside. Thus, it is logically to imagine that absolute Emptiness doesn’t exist within our understanding and perception, it is even outside the borders of science and religion. But for the story of the Drop and for our topic we can focus on the term Absolute Emptiness.

So, Great Endlessness and Great Emptiness. And among this (well, even when speaking this we are used to understand something definite) is floating (another problem is floating what in?) a tiny Grain. It’s not important how it does look. What is important, this is its sense. Any grain is a potential, that under special circumstances can transform itself into the substance concluded inside — a tree, a man…

Our Grain contains all the Universe in the form of program (like DNA), where everything is written — from a huge star to the tiniest grass, including our dear Drop and both me and you. Of course, the question appears: a person develops from a small embryo, but he needs building material, which is different in different cases.

But what material has the Universe been created?

It sounds paradoxically, but from the above-mentioned emptiness.

The Grain feels uncomfortable — it will be to die. Germination is the death for every grain. It won’t exist in its form of grain anymore, and much courage needs to die and release everything that is kept in it, but the sense is just in this. What does the Grain need it for? To grow…and there is difficulty then. We should try to name this. Let’s name this the Soul, my dear reader. Then we’ll try to understand what it is. Who has sowed it — it’s unknown, it’s behind the comprehension of even the wisest from people. This is the Mystery that must remain in life in spite any further development of us. It’s something that can’t be learnt. It’s the next level of Being. And we shall be there, but just after we’ll leave everything we have adhered to.

But now the Grain is to germinate.

It’s interesting to observe the scientists to be arguing on how the Universe was being born, what the Large Explosion is, when it took place and what the end will be.

Part 3. SCALE

Imagine, my dear reader, that a magician has million times diminished us and the atom’s kernel became for a person as big as the Earth. What shall we see then? The same things, the same Universe, only the picture will depend on what atom we are inside. If we are in air, the sight will be like Solar system, if we are in water, it will be like the Milky Way, but if we are in diamond, all our sky will be covered with stars and planets.

A little more magic now and we grow to the size much larger than the Universe. What shall we see then? Any fantasy can turn the reality. Fantasize!

When we are discussing, my friend, such notions like the Universe or atom, it is very important to apply the scale. You know it from maps and atlases.

The largest mistake of science is the effort to understand the Universe and atom in a person’s scale. How can it be?

Here is an example.

You surely know your apartment rather well; the situation of rooms, of furniture. But the situation of microorganisms in it you don’t know — the scale is different. You know your street worse, and you know your town much worse; the same is with enlarging or diminishing of the objects: if you don’t change the scale, your knowledge of them will be poorer. You should also take into account that the travelling is endless whether to diminishing or enlarging the objects of research.

We aren’t able to re-switch on the scale from something big to something small, from the Universe to atom. We are used to orientate ourselves in the surrounding world commensurable to us.

Everything is relative. If somebody says the tree is large, we must know what he had compared it to — to his personal height, to another tree or to a building?

Part 4. TIME

Our grain was floating in the Endless Emptiness for a very long time.

Stop again!

What does it mean for a very long time?

Let’s speak of time. Past, present, future — that is the way our life has constructed. But even not thinking hard we shall agree that the past doesn’t exist already, as for the future, it doesn’t exist yet. What do we really have? It’s the present one. Therefore the question is born: how long does it last? A moment, a second, a minute? Where is the border when the past transfers into the present and the present transfers into the future? It is absent, it doesn’t exist, it’s the creation of our mind.

As soon as the present transfers into the future, it becomes the present again. To say truly time phenomenon has been created by a man for comfort — in order to correlate two events.

Let’s try to clear it up in some examples.

Imagine I am standing near the fence and looking through the small hole and you are standing above the fence. You are seeing a man passing by. He is the present for you. I am not seeing him yet. He is the future’ for me. Then I begin to see him and he appears to be the present for me. I can see him for some seconds more and he becomes the past for me. However he will stay the present for you for some time more. Therefore the term present is different for me and for you; everything depends on the wideness of seeing. Climb the tree and your present" will appear much wider and so on.

We all can see night dreams. But it happens that you are sitting in the armchair and fall asleep. Many events happen to you there. When having got up you see that even less than a minute had passed. How can it be so? Our time in a dream and in reality is different. In the dream we can see all the events in one moment, from the top of the tree, so in reality it got you some seconds. Remembering the dream, we are looking at it through the small hole in the fence, moment after moment, so we need much more time. Remember, when you are communicating with the beloved person the time is flying fast, but at the unpleasant meeting the time is crawling slowly. In order to explain it in the examples let’s look at the wheel. When it is moving, the centre is staying unmoving. The farther from the centre to the rim, the faster the speed of movement is. If we are at the wheel’s rim, we move fast and have our personal speed of time. The closer to the centre, the smaller the scale of time is (so the view is wider), and there is no such phenomenon as time in the centre. There is only phenomenon of now there.

You can understand it better when you are fitting the big picture from puzzles. What can be understood when you are looking at one fragment of it? But after putting them in one row after the other one we gain a nice picture, we realize its content, sense and beauty. We are looking at such puzzles — fragments of life — and don’t understand, what is happening and why. The whole picture is seen only from the centre of it. The period our sight and mind after it are moving from one fragment to another one is the time. Thus the time doesn’t ever move — our mind moves along the chain of events. That’s why when speaking about the Grain for very long, I only contact our feelings.

It’s endlessly long in comparison to us.

Part 5. THE UNIVERSE BIRTH

At one moment of the Endlessness the Grain got an order — we know it from the phrase It was a Word at the beginning. Let it be the Life-making Word, the energy that gave the impetus to germination of the Grain. The program built-in in the Grain has worked. As the result — the Great Explosion.

And it is relatively again.

Make a movie of the grain germination, increase some times the time of watching it and you will observe the Great Explosion.

If we were the observers of the Universe birth from the large distance, we would see the most beautiful picture from any seen — the blossoming of the Universe.

Reviews for A Crossing or the Drop’s History

[Samantha E Hounshell · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This would be wonderful to hear audibly. I love what is written and I wish it would be retranslated for clarity. Even still, one of my favorite works of all time, spiritually enlightening. Tuff for some to follow at times, due to difficult translation.
