Theories and practices of self-improvement are becoming increasingly popular. Adherents of new esoteric experiments study ancient religions, teachings, philosophical treatises and theories. Many of today's practitioners offer ways to change themselves, which can, in fact, help people who can believe in miracles and invisible magical energies.
Some teachers offer people classes that are similar to therapeutic courses: “We draw animals” by Peter Gray, “The Game Method in Career Guidance” N. Pryazhnikova, “Pause Energy”, proposed by Fopel K. For the most part, such practices are harmless, and sometimes, with the ability to trust positive emotions and go back to childhood, they "work" for adults as well. In the final analysis, modern psychology, psychotherapy, and socionic research are becoming increasingly close to ancient knowledge. And fewer people tend to reject them without hesitation.
Visited India and changed
Tatyana Platonova began to write books on esoterics, according to her admission, after visiting India, and since then more than fifty works of an esoteric orientation have found their readers. This happened in 1997, and also entailed the move of the writer from Sukhumi to Moscow. Perhaps the last circumstance is dictated by the desire of the author to communicate with many people. In fact, according to her admission, after some internal forces forced her to actively engage in creativity, she began to actively travel with her husband. She lectured and conducted seminars.
Let Druze shine
Platonova Tatyana Yurievna - author of books on self-improvement and not only. She believes that every person should find a way to himself, to light in his soul, and thus find happiness and love. Inside us, according to the author, there is a beautiful, God-given from birth, Druze with many crystals, each of which represents a certain human property: anger and joy, calm and anxiety, strength and self-doubt.
Each person carries a whole range of emotions within the soul, and it depends on his own will which crystalline he would prefer to use. From the birth of a druse, it is transparent, but over time the crystal acquires its individual color, and almost everything in an individual’s life depends on what color he paints the druse, for each emotion, each state of the soul has its own shade.
At the seminars, Tatyana Platonova offers exercises that can be perceived by a practical person as very naive. And judging by the reaction, which is monitored, if you listen to her communication with students, for some people her exercises cause laughter. But the students are looking for a meeting with her, go to her and read her books.
Criticism
Many will be annoyed by her calm tone of a primary school teacher. Because for deeply studying esotericism and reading the same Carlos Castaneda, Absalom Podvodny or Daniil Andreev - her revelations look extremely simplified, even fabulously primitive. But this is their possible originality and value. They belong and are intended for the wise not crafty. And whether they teach something really useful, time will tell.
The texts of Tatyana Platonova do not openly call for evil. Although you can stumble upon comments, including to her books, claiming that Tatyana acts within the framework of the teachings of the White Brotherhood. But fanatics and inadequate people, unfortunately, are found among the followers of well-recognized religions and teachings, which, at least, are worthy of attention.
Among the reviews on her books, for example, reactions to the Grail Knights, one can find both selflessly enthusiastic and rude, abusive. With curious negativity and bile, some curious researchers of the phenomenon react, which Tatyana Platonova, albeit in narrow, but traceable by her activity circles, react.
Knights of Light and Good
Tatyana Platonova released the Grail Knights shortly after enlightenment, and this book was one of the first to reach the masses. Many valuable books have been written about the Holy Grail, but this is not about the cup in its material embodiment, and not even the theory of the mystical origin or properties of the artifact. The book tells of some heroes of a not entirely human nature who know both the past and the future. They are the knights of the world who have known the world and themselves.
The protagonist of the book is also looking for a way to himself. Many deep thoughts are expressed, which are often a simplified presentation of simple truths familiar to fans of esoteric gurus. The syllable and style of the book is mostly scolded. But there are reviews that sing the fantasy-mystical saga of the praises, and find the presentation of the material clear and well digestible.
Sofia fall and rise
The book "The Secret Doctrine of Hermes Trismegistus" is written on behalf of the Goddess of Wisdom Sofia. Mention is made of a mistake that she made, but which will now be corrected. More and more, says the wise Essence, there are people who are aware of a different vision of the world, and not such that is inherent in the stagnant in material people.
Representatives and carriers of a new vision are appearing in increasing numbers. And now even representatives of an inflexible, obscured by material consciousness people are not able to deny that there is something unknown in this world, something that the tools have not yet picked up in order to measure concepts that differ from weight, taste, length.
What could be this toolkit? The ability to hear oneself. The ability to separate worldly litter, the cacophony of samsara from eternal crystal peace.
The style of the work again found dissatisfied critics, but the content caused more positive responses than negative ones. The book on the presentation of the material somewhat resembles a semi-mythical explanation of the origin of reality from Anna Rice, when she filled the reader’s mind with her own vision, which, however, is not uninteresting and even instructive, if one approaches such revelations sensibly and with research point of view.
We ourselves know how to live
Unfortunately, both fans and critics of the author stubbornly perceive the books of Tatyana Yuryevna Platonova as an indication of how to live. And the first reaction with this approach is “Yes, how dare she!” or "Yes, yes, I knew that!" The overwhelming majority of enthusiastic readers of Tatyana Platonova are women. Young critics (more often than critics) insist that her fans are women of Balzac age, and for some reason they are certainly all unhappy, which explains the craving of this audience for all that promises eternal bliss in life, nonsense.
The sun of kindness shines on the desert
However, in the book “Walking in the Desert”, an instructive-obsessive tone clearly asserts that the person himself is to blame for his troubles. In this work, the human heart is compared with the sun, and what happens to the human soul has an allegory either with a blossoming paradise, or with a deserted desert. The author is convinced that man himself creates both one and the other reality. This point of view is not new and has recently gained popularity, penetrating the consciousness of the masses.
Critics of Tatyana Platonova’s creative work can be justified even if this epidemic is “to blame for yourself, that you live badly,” “you live well - well done for yourself” captures more and more followers, especially among young people. Readers who criticize the author sound the alarm, but do not take into account that the author is far from the source of new teachings.
Rather, it can be called one of the legion, if approached with caution. Or, most likely, Tatyana Platonova is in fact one of the bearers of new trends, generally improving the health of society. And she promotes a healthy lifestyle, awareness in all its manifestations, the habit of first asking for an answer for your own troubles of yourself, and only then others, family, friends, government ...
Modesty or intent?
Tatyana Yurievna did not seem to notice that she accidentally became the "author" of the book "We draw animals." By someone’s carelessness, or perhaps by an unknown plan, her name is placed on one of the sites, instead of the name of the artist Peter Gray. What is it? Unconsciousness? Or a worthy enlightened lack of self-importance? How to know ...
Looking for a teacher
How to distinguish a true teacher? When there are so many of them now, and more and more messiahs appear who offer to think, and to think again as well. And they broadcast on one motive: awareness, lack of value judgments, a healthy lifestyle ... Perhaps, due to calm unobtrusiveness, frivolous indifference to one’s own picture on the Web, to how others are perceived. But one conclusion suggests itself: do not rush to conclusions. And everyone has every right to look for a teacher for himself.
