Rami Blekt's real name. Rami Blekt - Teacher and consultant in ancient Indian astrology and oriental psychology

Rami Blekt received the name Rami already in adulthood. As a child, his name was Pavel, the boy loved to read, thought a lot and seemed to be a “humanist”. Growing up, he entered the military institute.

As happened to many, the 90s changed everything in his life. Friends left for Europe and America, and Pavel went to India in search of his own path. He spent some time in a monastery, studied yoga, joined the Vedic tradition.

Now Rami Blekt lives in Canada, writes books, travels a lot with his lectures and trainings. His most popular books - Notes of a Spiritual Adventurer, Search for the Real Meaning of Life: Conversations with Those Who Found It, Magic Key to the 12 Houses of Destiny - are devoted to Vedic traditions, experience of veganism, raw food diet, psychological problems in relationships and searches own path.

Rami Blekt is collaborating with Dr. David Frawley, one of the few Western scholars recognized in India as Vedacharya, a teacher of Vedic wisdom. Frawley founded the American Institute for Vedic Research, one of the largest in the Western world.

We spoke with Rami about how he found himself in life, who he considers his spiritual mentor, and why he chose a raw food diet over vegetarianism.

Rami, tell us about your monastic experience?

I would sum up the monastic life in three words – go and do it. This experience remains for me one of the most important in my life, one of the happiest. I have always strived to test the limits of the possible and live the way I want. Over time, I realized that the most important thing is to listen to your intuition. In the 90s, I suddenly realized that I wanted to become a monk. And he went to India. Traveled, looking for "his" - something that will respond to the soul. I did what I felt I needed to. It cannot be said that a year later I "saw the light", no. The path of a person consists of many small, sometimes completely imperceptible steps and deeds. My path consisted of all my interests and aspirations.

Why did you leave the monastery?

Master told me that my mind was too lively, too much energy for a contemplative life. That my destiny is not monasticism, but a world where I have to teach what I know, what I have comprehended.

How did your own teaching practice begin?

At first I began to write, then I gave lectures, but I quickly realized that the lecture was not my “format”. I like it more when I feel a live contact with the audience, when there is communication. Therefore, the lecture format quickly turned into a training format.

What questions do people come up with the most?

Most people care about relationships. We have forgotten how to build a dialogue with loved ones, with parents, partners, children - there is no harmony in our life. In society, the ideals of family life, harmony, and the desire to know oneself and one's path have been lost. Consumer society imposes certain stereotypes on us: what should you do, what should you be... It's easier to learn how to play social roles than to understand who you really are. By and large, all the requests that people come with are about this. But this can manifest itself in various problems: for someone, relationships are more important, for someone - a career, for someone - health. In fact, all my trainings and books are about one thing - about finding our foundations, about who we really are, about the sources of problems and diseases.

Tell us how you yourself got acquainted with the Vedic tradition?

I read a lot: Christian mystics, philosophers, various kinds of spiritual literature. But when the Bhagavad Gita fell into my hands, everything immediately seemed to fall into place - in this book there were answers to all my questions. This is not religion, not philosophy in the Western sense of the word - this is pure wisdom. That is why I went to the Hindu ashram: in order not just to learn about the tradition, but to join it.

In the Eastern tradition, wisdom, knowledge, and practice are passed on to the guru. Have you met your guru? Tell me about your teacher.

There were many teachers along the way. By and large, we are all teachers for each other, even a casual passer-by teaches us something important, you just need to understand and accept it for yourself.

Now you are collaborating with Ayurveda doctor David Frawley, tell us a few words about him?

I can say one thing - he is a sage. Real. Amazing person. I read his books and articles, then wrote to him. Gradually we began to cooperate. His institute is an important big deal, profound research is being carried out there.

How is true wisdom possible in the conditions of everyday life in the very center of Western civilization? And Frawley lives in Santa Fe, and you are in Canada - how do you manage to combine a hasty "How?" West with an unhurried "Why?" East?

Everything depends on the mind. From inner aspirations, from spiritual discipline. Megacities have a very destructive effect on our health, both spiritual and physical, so we prefer to live closer to nature.

Tell us about your daily practice?

I meditate, practice yoga, pranayama. To keep fit I run, ski, ride a bike.

You have been a vegetarian for a long time, and now you have become a raw foodist. Why?

I am convinced that nutrition affects both our psyche and our health. In the modern world, people have ceased to pay attention to what and how they eat. Look around: the number of cancer diseases is rapidly increasing, people suffer from overeating, ruin their health with alcohol or fast food... What we eat is important not only for the physical body, but also for the subtle body. And not only what, but also when and how, in what company, with what prayer. I have been a vegetarian for 25 years, but in the last year and a half I have become a raw foodist. The living energy of vegetables, fruits, cereals, nuts creates a completely different feeling and a different level of energy. I recommend everyone to become raw foodists for a year or two - this is a very useful, rejuvenating experience in every sense.

How do you manage to follow the principles of a raw food diet in our climate, in our country? It's no secret that good, "live" vegetables and fruits are almost impossible to find...

Difficult, of course, but still possible. Being a vegetarian is easy, and with just a little change in your mind, raw food becomes easy. The best is ripe fruit. Any, seasonal, of course. Nuts give a lot of energy, you can eat cereals. In a word, it is quite possible to organize your own food, but this requires determination and knowledge.

Do you include dairy products in your diet?

Yes, they come in, not pasteurized, about once a month. But they need to be bought from trusted farmers. Store-bought products are very harmful.

And finally - what would you like to wish the readers?

Be healthy, happy and successful! Remember that unconditional love is the main value!

Interview

Your name?

I was named Pavel after my maternal grandfather. Rami is a Sanskrit word that I chose for myself. It is numerologically and energetically suitable for my activity. Within 2 weeks after I changed (added) my name, my life changed dramatically. Rami is translated as fair, engaged in a just cause, noble. There is still such a name in Israel, it comes from the word - the mercy of God. One Arab told me that they also have such a name - it translates as a great warrior with a bow. And recently a Latin specialist wrote to me, it turns out that in Latin Rami means - calmly, step by step, consistently. There is also a Sanskrit name, from the first teacher - Paritoshaka das. Das is a servant, and Paritoshaka is one of the names of God, which translates (roughly) as the incarnation, the personification of happiness. Who are your ancestors, where were you born, what is your nationality? To find out the details of my pedigree line, I called my aunts and uncles. I learned a lot that I didn't know myself. Father's Line My paternal grandfather's roots go to southern Russia (region of the Don River). They were ordinary peasants. The family had 12 children. However, a smallpox epidemic broke out and only 4 children were vaccinated. The rest didn't let themselves do it. These four survived. Among them was my great-grandmother. Then there was a famine, and they moved to Uzbekistan. Great-grandmother married a tradesman from Russia, who also moved to Uzbekistan from central Russia. Grandfather passed away early. My grandfather didn't even remember him. Another man married my great-grandmother. He was a noble man, from the nobility. His parents owned a shipping company in Nizhny Novgorod. He was well educated. And everyone remembers him as the kindest, most intelligent and very noble person. He became the father of my grandfather, who was a baby, when he was adopted by this man. My grandfather's name was Nicholas. He received a good upbringing. His family was very devout and followed all Orthodox canons. He graduated from high school before the revolution. At the age of 14, he was told that his father was not his own. This was the custom in tsarist Russia. After the revolution, he graduated from a technical school, then in the early 30s from an institute in St. Petersburg. He was an agronomist. Loved the earth. He was the champion of Central Asia in athletics. One of the museums still has his diploma, my father's and mine. Like, family continuity. He had a wonderful sense of humor. He knew 4 languages, including Tajik and Uzbek. He was respected by local elders. He told them the news, translated Russian jokes. He loved Omar Khayyam, Sufi parables, then they called it local folklore. He studied them from these aksakals and other Central Asian sages. As a child, they told me about them and said that they were Uzbek folk tales. He was expelled from the CPSU in the late 30s. For speaking out against the creation of collective farms in Central Asia. He was saved from more severe repressions by the fact that he was taken into the army. In 1939 he was taken to the Finnish war. He returned wounded. After the war he worked as a senior agronomist. He headed the regional organization DOSAAF. He lived to be 75 years old. Was an avid fisherman. In the family circle, he did not particularly hide his negative attitude towards the Soviet regime. I have never seen his sister, but I know that she graduated from the medical institute and graduate school in Ust-Kamenogorsk (Kazakhstan), defended her candidate and doctoral dissertations. And for many years she taught at the Medical Institute, if I'm not mistaken, in Aktobe. As a child, I grew up in a huge house in Uzbekistan, which we inherited from relatives along the line of this grandfather. House with large lot. About a hectare there was a flowering garden made by grandfather and uncle. Grandmother Raya (Rishel) was Jewish. Her parents were from Warsaw. When I learned this, I felt a certain pride that among the rebels in the Warsaw ghetto (during the Second World War) were my relatives. Her father Peisakh moved from Poland to Belarus. Worked as a clerk and manager. His sister left with 5 children in 1911 for Chicago. My grandmother had several sisters and two brothers. The elder sister managed to graduate from the medical faculty of the University of Tartu (Estonia) before the revolution. Was a doctor. During the civil war, she worked in a medical armored train of the Red Army. She pulled her relatives to the capital. Both brothers were civil engineers. Uncle Abram volunteered for the front. He died during the liberation of Leningrad, during the offensive he received a bullet in the chest. Uncle Fima did not go to war because of his age. At one time he was the chief engineer at the construction of the Ostankino television tower. The rest of the sisters married Russians, and several of my uncles - doctors of science - from these unions. Their father was terribly dissatisfied with such marriages, because they are from a purely Jewish family. My grandmother spoke Yiddish until she was 14 and learned Hebrew. They lived in Moser (Belarus). They managed to leave there before the war, thanks to the efforts of their elder sister Leah. All Jews remaining in their city were buried alive in the first days of the war. My grandmother went to St. Petersburg after the revolution. She graduated from the Agricultural Academy there. Her teacher was the famous academician Vavilov. She left in the late 1920s for Central Asia to practice. She met my grandfather very romantically. Her duty was to regularly go around the huge fields, to check. She was an inexperienced rider, and once her horse, when crossing a mountain stream, frightened of something, rushed at great speed, trying to throw off my grandmother. Next door were my grandfather's fields. Seeing this, he rushed to meet, grabbed the reins, stopped the horse and managed to grab the grandmother, who fell into his arms. Since then, they have not parted. It was an interesting alliance. Only thanks to the revolution did it take place. On the grandmother's line, all were Orthodox Jews. My grandfather's family also never thought that such unions were possible. Her great-grandfather received her very well and no one ever reminded her of her nation. Their first child died of dysentery at the age of three. They had 3 sons and a daughter. My dad was the youngest in the family. Grandmother worked as an agronomist, raised children. And later me, as my father told me recently. I became a person largely thanks to her. She spent all the time with me, and at the age of 3 she taught me to read. Until the age of 8, I did not know that she was Jewish. I was shocked when I found out about this fact. At school, Jews were teased, it was considered something bad. I almost cried at the surprise. Such a generous grandmother, so many people came to visit us: friends, relatives, she took care of everyone, and suddenly she is Jewish. Uncle Kolya, my father's older brother, was very fond of technology at school, he assembled radios from spare parts. He graduated with honors from an institute in Ryazan and was left near Moscow at a secret military plant. Since then, I have not traveled anywhere, even to my parents. Only a few years ago we learned that he worked in the space programs with Korolev. He has 19 international patents. He sent Gagarin and other subsequent cosmonauts into space. Aunt Sveta - father's sister - graduated from school with a medal. Graduated from Kazan University with honors. Then she completed her postgraduate studies there, defended her dissertation and taught biochemistry for almost 35 years. Brother Valentine, who was named after the first brother who died, worked as an agronomist, biologist, geologist, collected a collection of stones from caves. Together with their grandfather, they received several prizes as the best winemakers. The youngest was Vladimir - my father. I write about my father in the book First Steps on the Path to Happiness. “For me, my father is the best example. After school, he decided to become a physical education teacher, in the army this desire intensified in him and, after finishing his service, he entered the Pedagogical Institute. None of his relatives supported him, but this did not particularly bother him. While his older brothers and sister defended their dissertations, he was busy doing what he loved. He was offered many times to become a head teacher, headmaster or take other administrative positions in the city, but he always refused, saying that he wanted to be just a teacher. And he did what he loved with all his heart. At school, no one missed physical education lessons, there were many sports sections, the school won almost all competitions, up to the union level. He himself invented various non-standard equipment for sports, wrote many manuals. From all over the Union, teachers constantly came to the school to study his experience. He was invited to teach at the Institute for the Improvement of Teachers. There were hundreds of cups, certificates and other awards in his office. He was awarded twice personally by the heads of state. He is an honored and national teacher of Russia and Uzbekistan, respectively. But it didn't really bother him. He loved people very much, loved to see how they change and help them. I remember how at school they didn’t know what to do with the 5th. This was the class with the most unruly and backward children, most of whom were from dysfunctional families. My father became their class teacher, and a year later it was possible to get into this class only through connections. He went hiking with them, helped them do their homework, taught them to help each other, and so on. Two years later, this class became the best. Almost all entered the institutes and several people became famous athletes. Much was written about this and his other classes in the newspapers. It was truly a miracle, because some children were considered mentally retarded. And my father did this twice more with the heaviest classes. One of his main goals was to prove that there are no bad and difficult children, it happens that teachers do not like what they do. I recently asked him how he got started with that class. He said that only three parents came to the first parent-teacher meeting, although there were 40 children in the class. Then he prepared a concert in which all the children of the class participated, someone sang, someone participated in an acrobatic pyramid, someone in a humorous production. All parents received beautiful invitations to the parent meeting. Of course, everyone came to see their children. The concert program went well, many parents cried, no one expected this from their children. And at the end my father spoke and said: “Imagine what your children are capable of if, after a little preparation, they do this. But in order to help them open up, I need your help, we must cooperate. You are ready?" Everyone, of course, agreed, and no one else missed parent meetings. Mother's lineage Mother's grandmother was from the Voronezh region. Also from the peasants. During the civil war, they were robbed by either whites or reds. The Reds reproached them for being prosperous. My brother, my great-grandfather, was killed during the next raid because he refused to give the last thing to the new, regular government. In 1921 they moved to Central Asia. My great-grandmother worked in catering, she was a very pious person. He was the first to hear about God from her. Then, at 5-7 years old, I was interested in God, I don’t even know why. She spoke from the standpoint of Orthodoxy. She taught me to be baptized. She wanted me to go to a music school to learn to play the harmonica - to be the first guy in the village. She said she would pay for the tuition. We visited them almost every week and I learned a lot from her. According to some relatives, she baptized me secretly from everyone, in infancy. After one incident. They left me with her, she was cooking something in the kitchen, I was crawling along the large kitchen table, which was attached to the window sill of the open window on the 2nd floor. When she turned around again, I was already falling, she grabbed my leg with incredible agility at the last moment. This led her to philosophical thoughts that nothing in this world lasts forever and everything can happen at any moment. And that next time, she may not be so quick, and I will fall unbaptized. Her daughter is my grandmother. She had 4 sisters, but they died in the 20s from starvation and infectious diseases. My grandmother worked all her life as an economist, an accountant in a hotel. Her father died of appendicitis in 1931. The doctors did not have time to save him. Mom's father is from Ukraine. In the 1920s they moved to Uzbekistan. The surname that I now bear is from him. In the early 90s, my aunts found out where the roots of this surname came from. They hoped that it was a German surname that would allow them to move to Germany. He said that his grandfather was a rich lord from England and his last name was Blake or something like that. He fell in love with a beautiful Ukrainian girl. And from there the family went - from Blake. In Soviet times, the surname changed several times so as not to arouse suspicion. All documents were destroyed immediately after the revolution, and he and his brother and father moved to Asia, which saved them from repression. It was in the passport that he was Ukrainian. His sister remained in Ukraine. Worked as a nurse, went through the war. Grandpa came to Asia with his brother in the 30s. They both went through the whole war. My brother worked in the department of agricultural machinery, but started as a mechanic. Grandfather worked on the construction of irrigation canals as a driver, he studied in the evenings. From 1939 he served in the army. The war began in 1941, was 6 km from the border. He took out the wounded during the retreat, they were constantly bombed. He said that it was scary to see mutilated bodies lying on the side of the road. Then he advanced along the same route. He went through the entire war in an artillery regiment, as a sergeant, was responsible for the transportation of ammunition. In 1946 he was demobilized. He was very laconic. I remember when he put on all the orders for the parade, he didn’t have enough space on his jacket. Interestingly, I served in Kaunas, where, not far from the place where I lived, on the bridge, my grandfather almost fell on a car loaded with shells in 1944, during the bombing. This bridge was bombed and he miraculously survived, his car caught on the fence. This is one of his many combat episodes, which I accidentally found out about when he asked where my unit was in Kaunas. Of their part, few reached the Victory, those who remained were friends all their lives, met regularly. Even the kids were friends. After demobilization, he returned to Fergana, where he married his grandmother. They had three children. My mother was the oldest. There was also a brother and sister. My mother named me after my grandfather. He was a great example for her. She really wanted me to be like him. He was very purposeful. He studied in absentia in Moscow, graduated from the Food Technological Institute. Then he went from an engineer to the director of the association of several factories in the region. Without any connections. He was a respected person. Even when he retired, he was invited as the head of the design department, he drew very well and knew the entire technological process very well. My grandfather was taciturn, did not allow much to children. Children were taught to work from an early age. This was especially true for my mother, as the eldest daughter. He achieved goals, was concentrated. Grandfather Pavel died recently, at the age of 80+. All his life he was modest, calm. I never criticized anyone, except for party leaders, and then in the family circle. He never shouted at anyone, but the children and subordinates listened to him perfectly. He came to me for graduation, when I received lieutenant's shoulder straps. The fact that I did not plan to stay in the army did not bother him much. He only asked me to always remain a man, so that it would not be a shame to look people in the eye, and not be lazy. Mom's brother was the family's great hope. He introduced my parents in the late 1960s. At home they had a TV, which was a rarity in those years, they showed something interesting there. My uncle brought my father (his teacher) home to watch this broadcast. That's how the parents met. After 4 days, dad proposed to his mother, after 8 months they got married and lived in love for about 20 years. So it turns out that I appeared thanks to the TV ... Uncle Anatoly went to Leningrad to study at the university. There he married unsuccessfully, started drinking, dropped out of school, returned and worked in a factory until he died of cancer. My mother, knowing this sad experience, then forbade me even to look at beer, champagne. She was very afraid that I would take his fate. She told me that he was also an athlete, an excellent student, and what wine and an unsuccessful marriage does ... Maybe that’s why, maybe from a past life, but I never liked and didn’t want to drink or smoke. Mom's younger sister works at the plant as a process engineer. My mother was calm and reserved. I wanted to be a doctor. I went to enter a medical institute in another republic. Didn't get in. Trained as a nurse. Then she graduated from the university. I became a biologist. Worked in the field of ecology. Mom and dad complemented each other. Dad is an extrovert. Mom is an introvert. Lived with grandparents (on the paternal side) in a big house. As for nationalities, I like all indicated. I only know that my paternal grandfather's grandmother was from the Finno-Ugric group of nationalities. I was born and raised in Uzbekistan. Studied in St. Petersburg. He worked and lived in Lithuania, Russia, Israel. Traveled almost all of India, for educational purposes, except for Kashmir. In general, a mixture of different nations in the family. And all these people got along well. I remember as a child, relatives and friends of different nationalities constantly came to visit us. Ukrainians, for example, spoke with a very beautiful accent, scolded Muscovites, and a little national spirit came from them, but somehow it was harmless. The attitude towards my father and us was very good, they helped us a lot after the death of my mother. They offered my father to move to Kiev. Our city was international: Russians, Ukrainians, Armenians, Jews, Germans, Tatars, Belarusians, Koreans, Uzbeks, etc. In my class there were children from 15 nations. We grew up together. At least there were no problems on national grounds. I still have good, friendly relations with many school friends scattered around the world. It is easy for me to communicate with people of different nations. It is even difficult for me to imagine myself in a conflict on ethnic grounds. After all, I have close friends of almost all nations with whom I communicate. How, for example, can I not get along with Armenians if my friend Goga convinced me in the 7th grade that the Armenian nation is the greatest in the world? From such an early age, he knew this ... It's hard for me to say where my homeland is. I loved Uzbekistan very much, but over the past 20 years it has changed a lot, and I stopped going there. When I gave seminars in Kazakhstan, I felt like I was in my homeland. Representatives of different nations live together there. I like Moscow, where I met many extraordinary people, very creative and multifaceted. I have very warm feelings for Israel from the first minutes of my stay there. I love this country very much, I like to carry and show it to my guests, especially the Holy places. I feel very comfortable in the Baltics, especially in Lithuania. I would not want to live in Western Europe, it is beautiful, but somehow artificial and boring. In England, only relatively well, energetically. There are a lot of talented people in the USA, but the spirit of consumerism is very strong. In Canada, in general, a rural atmosphere, it is good to retire somewhere in the province. Unfamiliar people usually treat me like a Russian, some, having learned that from Israel, like a Jew. I respond to everything, as well as to names. But inside I feel a strong connection with the Slavic culture. And everywhere I introduce myself as Russian. This is from childhood, I then read almost all Russian classics. And it somehow took root that this is our culture. I am sure that it is the Slavs, and Russian speakers in general, who can save the world if they do not destroy themselves with ignorance, alcohol and, most importantly, the lack of a national idea. No matter how many seminars I have conducted around the world, only Russian speakers can discuss the deepest issues. The rest need spirituality to make money and relieve stress. I am against anti-Semitism, against the fact that in the UK it was forbidden to indicate in the curricula about the Holocaust of the Jewish people during the 2nd World War. My mother died at the age of 40 from cancer when I was in my second year of college. I took it hard. We have been very friendly in recent years. She has invested a lot in my upbringing. For 2 years I learned to perfection English. They said it was genetic. She was an example for me. She developed a culture in me, gave me books on etiquette to read, this was very important for her. I have a younger brother. I am 12 years apart from him. When he was born, I helped my parents by spending time with him, taking care of him. When his mother died, he was 7 years old (now studying at the University of Jerusalem). My father had a heart attack, he loved his mother very much. And all the months when she was hospitalized, he sat with her in the hospital, like a nurse. The Pope then married another woman, an ethnic German. They had a son. I am almost 20 years apart from him. He is now successfully studying at a Russian gymnasium. We have a very good connection, recently visited them. What religion are you? In the late 1980s, I began to study Christianity, then studied the Vedas, and became a follower of Vaishnavism. He studied seriously Buddhism, took several practical courses. Vipassana especially affected me. He took a course at the Institute for the Study of Judaism on the history of religions that existed and still exist in Israel. The course was very deep with visits to all the studied places. I learned much more deeply about Islam, Judaism, Christianity and other small religious movements and peoples. But while studying the history of religious organizations, I myself encountered many negative things, I saw that there can be disgusting things in spiritual and religious organizations, although outwardly very bright ideas can be propagated and declared. Since 1998 I have had a policy of non-alignment. I study, explore, travel. I want to achieve the highest harmony and help others in this. The main thing for me now is not organizations, but a specific person. If a person is bright, loving, wise, then I learn from him, no matter what nation, culture and religion he belongs to. If I invite Teachers to my courses, please do not propagate my religion. And categorically against the creation of their own organization. I love Eastern psychology, ancient Indian astrology, Eastern wisdom. I believe that we should also listen to the independent geniuses of science, take into account their opinion, even if they contradict dogma. Now I help people become harmonious, regardless of the Path they follow. If a person is in ignorance and passion, inharmonious, then his religious service will not benefit anyone. Neither to himself nor to others. Make a fool pray to God, so he will break his whole forehead (and in our time often others) ... I think that militant, modern Wahhabism (a sect in Islam) is very dangerous for the world. I remember that in 2000 in Jerusalem an Arab, a follower of this movement, gave me a lift and fanatically urged me and my family to accept Islam. He convinced that in 20 years the whole world would become Islamic, those who did not accept Islam would be destroyed. Quoted the Quran. I do not think that such a development of events will be favorable even for the followers of their views. I also think that modern ultra-Orthodox Jews adhere to rituals and dogmas too formally. Sufism and Kabbalah (deep philosophical and psychological systems in Islam and Judaism) are very close to me. I am close to ancient Indian and ancient Slavic, very interconnected cultures. Orthodoxy and Christianity in general is very close to me. It is only somewhat distant that modern Christianity, with the exception of small trends, does not accept the transmigration of the soul for the last 1700 years, being the only religion in this view. It is hard to read that the Slavs are considered primitive, especially in the West. Like, before they were forcibly baptized, they were completely wild pagans drinking vodka in large quantities. It would be nice for these people to go to the excavations of ancient Slavic, Aryan cities, which are more than 5000 years old, which amaze with their level of development (the Urals, Northern Kazakhstan, Europe, etc.). In Arkaim, for example. Vodka was brought to Russia in the 17th century. And it is already obvious that the Slavs, Armenians and most of the European nations belonging to the ancient Aryan civilization have more to do with that great civilization and culture that is still partially preserved in India than the local Indians. The Jews have almost every genius, he also very much depends on their future. About 6 years ago, in Jerusalem, an Orthodox rabbi, who had previously been a scholar in Moscow, told me that he had discovered a close connection between the Jews and ancient Indian culture. It confuses many that I often use the words God, soul, Love, etc. But I am sure that in the near future these words will become common and even basic in the vocabulary of scientists, doctors, and psychologists.

Why do you and S. Lazarev take money, although you call for unconditional love?

I believe that love, harmony is the main goal of life. This is what we should strive for. And we can come to this when we are harmonious at the social, material, spiritual levels. You have to take money to work. People don't respect if you give something for free. When you give advice for free, for small donations, people do not appreciate it. I am sure that I am doing very important work that can help people a lot. And judging by the reviews, it helps a lot. Why shouldn't I charge money for this? Moreover, people forget about free consultations after a few days. I don't think it's about money, it's about skills. Therefore, I am constantly learning something, improving myself. I have been doing this for almost 20 years, I have achieved something. People in other professions (mechanics, dentists, doctors, artists, athletes, computer scientists, etc.), having reached a similar level, earn much more. Especially if they work 12-16 hours a day, and study the rest of the time ... I can see from the astrological chart that I will be perceived as a businessman. Even when he was a monk or did charity work and did everything for free, he was treated like a businessman. I think that it is not so important how much a person receives, the main thing is how much he gives to the world, how many people become happy from his work. Let, for example, presidents live in at least 20 palaces, the main thing is that they think more about state affairs than about their own, and perform their duties well. Somehow they showed the head of a Russian airline on TV. He was asked, “You get so much money, millions. Doesn't it bother you that academics get pennies? He answered - it means that these academicians are not in demand. He was right, in my opinion ... I want to revive interest in the Higher knowledge. So that people understand how important it is, how practical this knowledge is. Spiritual knowledge is free, as a rule, in sects. Their job is to pull you in. Then you give them a lot more. If you look, in the past, knowledge was not just distributed. Free gives rise to consumerism. A greedy, consumer-minded person, the Truth is not able to know. For students in my courses who reach a certain level and pass exams, I strongly advise taking money for consultations. I think it's fair to take money for training and consultations. By the way, when you do not take money, they often begin to deify: “Oh, you are so advanced, just a saint ...”. And then I find out that the secretary forgot to take the money. Below is the answer of S.N. Lazarev. Rami Blekt: Very often, many people have the opinion that if a person is engaged in some kind of spiritual research, consulting, he should not take money. In recent years you have been engaged in purely spiritual things, and throughout your life you have proved that you go to God and help others. But you take money and many people, especially in Russia, do not understand how to take money, especially large enough. Lazarev.SN: Let's start with determining my status. I am a psychologist, a professional who deals with psychological help to people. I am convinced that this help cannot be competent and real if the person does not have changes in character. As a psychologist, I realized that changes in character are impossible without the concept of "love of God." So, I am engaged in psychological consultations by my profession], and the topic of my diploma is psychological consultations and psychological correction. And as a specialist, I take money for admission. A teacher who teaches at a school or at an institute is engaged in the same spiritual practices, he imparts knowledge. A doctor who treats helps save a life. It means that, it turns out, then it is necessary to deprive the salaries of doctors, psychologists, teachers, because they are engaged in spiritual practices - this is the first thing. Secondly, there is still a certain reason, why? When a person is engaged in spiritual practices, he can cling to spirituality, and then for him his dependence on the human becomes stronger. And if he lives comfortably and takes money, then spiritual practices become more and more dangerous for him, is it logical? I talk about this all the time now. With a mechanical, purely spiritual moment, this is absolutely true. But in my aspect there are, I think, a few nuances. First, I am considered a scientist, researcher and psychologist. The second is the accumulation, the strengthening of attachment to the human that occurs in those who are engaged in spiritual practices and those who pray, closes either with poverty, self-torture or powerful self-limitations or periodic losses, very powerful psychological, physical, etc. or system closure of this dependency. I don’t describe in my books how they tear me off, this is too personal, this time. Secondly, I described that every time I write a book, I have situations that are close to fatal - disasters, accidents, losses, betrayal, it's all the same purge. And further, I try to systematically close through understanding, through love for God, to close dependence on human happiness in any aspect, both spiritual and physical. So then what could be? Then a person can engage in spiritual practices, first of all, realize that they are dangerous and at the same time have money. In the West, in America, everyone who is engaged in spiritual practices is one of the richest people, as you know. But I don't think it's good for them, why? Because as long as they have the potential of love, they do not get hooked, as soon as there is less love, then there is a hook for spirituality, and then it is dangerous to have money. It is dangerous for someone who is hooked on spirituality to have material wealth, sooner or later they will give him problems. Why do I realize that for me my reception is a danger. My level of spirituality, which I get through research, is a double jeopardy. My level of well-being is also a rather serious danger, I understand everything. It harms a person when he does not understand that money is dangerous, and spirituality is dangerous, and human stability is dangerous. When he understands this, he can overcome it. And then, times are still changing and the spiritual and material are beginning to be closer. And now, in order to preach to someone, he needs to rent a hall, pay taxes, report to the tax service, and so on. Several other laws are already included here, which are adequate to the current situation. If I didn't make money from admissions, if I didn't get paid through the books I publish, I would be doing something else. Everyone wants a person who is engaged in spirituality to plow on them, extracting new information at the risk of his life, then walking naked and barefoot, giving valuable recipes on how to become healthy and rich, and at the same time be in poverty. So this is the freebie that is most dangerous. The person does not want to earn.
Knowledge also needs to be earned.

For me, my father is the best example. After school, he decided to become a physical education teacher, in the army this desire intensified in him and, after finishing his service, he entered the Pedagogical Institute. None of his relatives supported him, but this did not particularly bother or touch him. He loved children very much, loved to see how they change and help them.

In the photo: Papa Rami in his youth.

While his older brothers and sister defended their dissertations, he was busy doing what he loved. He was offered many times to become a head teacher, headmaster or take other administrative positions in the city, but he always refused, saying that he wanted to be just a teacher. And he did what he loved with all his heart. At school, no one missed physical education lessons, there were many sports sections, the school won almost all competitions, up to the union level. He himself invented various non-standard equipment for sports, wrote many manuals. From all over the Union, teachers constantly came to the school to study his experience. He was invited to teach at the Institute for the Improvement of Teachers. There were hundreds of cups, certificates and other awards in his office. He was awarded twice personally by the heads of state (L. Brezhnev and V. Putin). He is an honored and national teacher of Russia and Uzbekistan, respectively.

I remember how at school they didn’t know what to do with the 5th. This was the class with the most unruly and backward children, most of whom were from dysfunctional families. My father became their class teacher, and a year later it was possible to get into this class only through connections. He went hiking with them, helped them do their homework, taught them to help each other, and so on. Two years later, this class became the best. Almost all entered the institutes, and several people became famous athletes. Much was written about this and his other classes in the newspapers. It was truly a miracle, because some children were considered mentally retarded.

And my father did this twice more with the heaviest classes. One of his main goals was to prove that there are no bad and difficult children, but it happens that teachers do not like what they do. Once, in a private conversation, he said to me: “Remember, son, there are no stupid children, there are stupid teachers.”

I recently asked him: how did he start working with that class. He said that only three parents came to the first parent-teacher meeting, although there were 40 children in the class. Then he prepared a concert in which all the children of the class participated, someone sang, someone participated in an acrobatic pyramid, someone in a humorous production. All parents received beautiful invitations to the parent meeting. Of course, everyone came to see their children. The concert program went well, many parents cried, no one expected this from their children. And at the end, my father came forward and said: “Imagine what your children are capable of if, after a little preparation, they do this. But in order to help them open up, I need your help, we must cooperate. You are ready?" Everyone, of course, agreed, and no one else missed parent meetings.

It helped my father that he completed military service in the Airborne Forces, after graduating from the institute he was an officer in the Airborne Forces, participated in many exercises and tests under the guidance of the legendary General Margelov, and at one of the stages of service he commanded a reconnaissance company. He could not continue his service in the army, as he broke his legs on one jump and was injured. He was born in 1942 and literally died of hunger twice as a child, but he was saved by refugees who came to evacuate from Poland.

Mom line

Mother's grandmother Maria was from the Voronezh region. Also from the peasant kulaks. During the Civil War, they were robbed by either whites or reds. The Reds reproached them for being prosperous. The brother of my great-grandfather was killed by the Reds during the next raid for refusing to give the last thing to the new government. In 1921 the family moved to Central Asia.

My great-grandfather died quite early from appendicitis, leaving one great-grandmother and small children. My great-grandmother Maria worked as a restaurant manager. She was a very pious person, hardworking and prone to self-education. I first heard about God from her. Then, at 3-7 years old, I was interested in listening to her stories about God, I don’t even know why. She spoke from the standpoint of Orthodoxy. She taught me to be baptized. She wanted me to go to a music school to learn to play the harmonica - to be the first guy in the village. She said she would pay for the tuition. We visited them almost every week and I learned a lot from her. According to some relatives, she baptized me in secret from everyone, in infancy. After one incident.

I was left with her at the age of one. She played with me and cooked something in the kitchen, I crawled along the large kitchen table, which was attached to the window sill of the open window on the 2nd floor. Suddenly, something began to escape from the pan, and she rushed to lower the fire. And when I turned around again, I was already falling out of the window. She grabbed my leg with incredible agility at the last moment. This led her to philosophical thoughts that nothing in this world lasts forever and everything can happen at any moment. And that next time she might not be so quick, the years go by, and I will fall unbaptized.

Her daughter is my grandmother. She had 4 sisters, but they died in the 20s from starvation and infectious diseases. My grandmother worked all her life as an economist, an accountant in a hotel. Her father (my great-grandfather) died of appendicitis in 1931. The doctors did not have time to save him.

Mom's father

Mom's father is from Ukraine. In the 1920s they moved to Uzbekistan. The surname that I now bear is from him. In the early 90s, my aunts found out where the roots of this surname came from (they hoped that it was German and they would be allowed to move to Germany). He said that his great-grandfather or great-great-grandfather was a rich lord from England or Ireland, and his last name was Blake or something like that. The lord fell in love with a beautiful Ukrainian girl. And from there the family went - from Blake. In Soviet times, the surname was changed several times so as not to arouse suspicion. All documents were destroyed immediately after the revolution, and he and his brother and father moved to Asia, which saved them from repression.

At first it seemed like a legend to me: where did the rich British come from in Eastern Ukraine in the 19th century? But, indeed, some Englishmen had establishments and "businesses" there. Now I am trying to find this English industrialist (I recently learned that my friend has a wife from Ukraine, with an English surname, and that a village of Englishmen was settled there several hundred years ago). But my grandfather's relatives were brought up in Slavic traditions and never really remembered one of their distant ancestors.

His sister remained in Ukraine. Worked as a nurse, went through the war. Grandpa came to Asia with his brother in the early 30s. They both went through the whole war. My brother worked in the agricultural machinery department, but started out as a mechanic. Grandfather worked on the construction of irrigation canals as a driver, he studied in the evenings.

From 1939 he served in the army. The war began in 1941, was 6 km from the border. He took out the wounded during the retreat, they were constantly bombed. He said that it was scary to see mutilated bodies lying on the side of the road. Then he advanced along the same route. He went through the whole war in an artillery regiment, as a sergeant, was responsible for the transportation of ammunition and the removal of the wounded. In 1946 he was demobilized. He was very laconic. I remember when he put on all the orders for the parade, there was not enough space on his jacket.

Interesting: I served in Kaunas, and not far from the place where I served, my grandfather almost fell off the bridge in a car loaded with shells in 1944 during the bombing. This bridge was bombed out, and my grandfather miraculously survived: his car caught on the fence. This is one of his many combat episodes, which I accidentally found out when he asked where my unit was in Kaunas. Few of them reached the Victory, but those who remained were friends all their lives, met regularly. Even the children were friends and grandchildren.

After demobilization, he returned to Fergana, where he married his grandmother. They had three children. My mom is the eldest. There was also a brother and sister. My mother named me after my grandfather. He was a great example for her. She really wanted me to be like him.

He was very purposeful, decent, noble and hardworking. He studied in absentia in Moscow, graduated from the Food Technological Institute. Then he went from an engineer to the director of the association of several factories in the region. Without any connections. He was a respected person. Even when he retired, he was invited to work as the head of the design department - he drew very well and knew the entire technological process very well.

Biography of Rami Blekt

After leaving school, he entered a military institute, where he got into an experimental group that trained personnel for the Airborne Forces.
