7. LIBERATION

  “One puts both hands in front of the chest with closed fi sts and moves them apart forcefully. This movement destroys everything that was holding you back. This is the liberation from the old and the attainment of the new. It is the entering into freedom. We can also call it the destruction of all unnatural relations, the breaking away from the old. This movement awakens within us those forces through which the unnatural karmic ties of the old can be eradicated in order to enter into the life of freedom.
 “This is an appeal for liberation, an appeal to leave the prisons. It says to us: Leave the life of eternal sunset and enter into the Life of eternal sunrise. Drop the chains of death and enter into the Freedom of Life. Come out of the dark caves where love does
not exist and enter into the joy of Love.”
 “Through this exercise, a powerful impulse is transmitted into the world to work upon the consciousness of all humankind.” [1, p. 77]
 “A science of movement exists which people need to study. Movements should not be monotonous, mechanical. Sometimes one needs to perform some work with his right hand, and sometimes – with the left. Sometimes he should leave his home stepping fi rst onto his right foot followed by the left foot, and sometimes vise versa: fi rst with the left foot and then with the right.
  “Contemporary people do not understand these principles; they are not familiar with the science of movement, and as a result, they meet with great contradictions. For example, somebody heads to do a good work and begins with the right foot which is a carrier of positive forces. In such a case, he will not have any success in his works. Why? Because repulsion always exists between two positive quantities. In order to succeed in his work, he needs to begin with the left foot which is a carrier of negative energy; the opposite quantities always attract each other. Therefore, when one is beginning a particular task, he needs to know with which foot to step fi rst: the right one, or the left.”
