6.3 Keeping a Diary

Keeping a diary significantly facilitates activities to certain therapists, especially the beginners, during the treatment with life-cosmic energy. That is why I propose to each therapist to adopt this form of registering their work and results of therapies. Keeping a diary contributes to a handy, useful and good system of learning and, therefore, it is not by chance that such system of work is proposed by the majority of esoteric teachers, while some of them even demand it. In my second book on life-cosmic energy, I described the simplest way of data entry in the diary, according to chronology and work procedure. In that way, it is possible to take account of all systematic examinations and treatments of the energy and physical parts of the body.

Also, my marks proposed at the end of the second book imply that a chronological system of work can be enriched by the usage of abbreviations for keeping a file or a working diary. Acceptance of abbreviations for the energy therapy, treatment of certain body systems, organs, glands and fluids, will certainly facilitate the keeping of a diary and provide a universal system of data registration and entry.

Dušan, who lives near the town in which I organised courses for future therapists, came several times to the first and the second course on life-cosmic energy. He tried to quickly acquire the knowledge needed by a therapist by constant repetition of the material, in order to use it in practice. He habitually awaited everyone to receive answers to their questions and then would present his problem and start a discussion. When he was in the narrow circle of colleagues, he asked questions directly on material that he did not understand.

He received detailed explanations to all questions about the given subject, as well as to questions unrelated to the programme of the courses. Nevertheless, something always bothered me in his behaviour. I did not know what it was, until the moment I remembered that I had given him answers to some questions several times already. Therefore, I asked him if he understood my answers to specific questions and detailed explanations of the material. I did not wish to terminate the conversation, but looked for an answer why Dušan forgot previous events.

I did not expect his answer, but asked him to describe his way of studying, how he adopted the basic knowledge of esoteric science and principle of work in the spiritual development of his personality. He felt a bit uneasy and stammered a little, but finally began to speak and said that he wanted to act, speak and treat people like I did. That sounded really unclear, so I asked him to describe how he saw me doing that. I was surprised when he explained that I taught people without aids, answered without thinking, treated with my hands in the pockets and conveyed courses equally successfully in the desert or modern classroom. He wanted to reach my level, to train and get shaped for such manner of work, without auxiliary aids, pictures, note observations, diaries, crystals, candles, which he considered, according to my estimate, to be unnecessary things.

I advised him that he should – although he set himself a certain goal – start to keep a diary by separately noting down individual teachings, practical cases, literature read, and also everything he did. I cited the words of teachers of spirituality, saying that any esoteric or spiritual book must be read seven times before we understand what the author wanted to tell us.

Dušan was absent for a long time, until I met him one day in the street. When I asked him how he was and what he was doing, he answered that he was happy and grateful for my good advice to keep a diary. His statement was interesting and instructive: before keeping a diary, he studied and thought a lot, which made everything confused, disorganised and illogical in his head, while when he started to keep a diary, everything turned to a serious study that helped him to quickly gain broad knowledge on esoteric sciences.
