From the author: An article about what underlies the so-called state of satori, in which it is “impossible to lose” and success becomes inevitable. Practical recommendations for achieving such a state are given. I have always been attracted and fascinated by such a thing as inevitable success. This is a difficult to explain, but at the same time incredibly pleasant and exciting state, when you literally understand that it is “impossible to lose.” It’s as if you find yourself on a wave at this moment - and it carries you forward to even greater success. Many people have experienced this state at different points in time. This state has many names: from satori in Zen meditation practice to a wave of luck in transurfing. Athletes who have achieved incredible results describe it as: “I just knew I could do it.” Such words are often used in descriptions. as enlightenment, awakening, clear awareness, clear understanding. Many people talk about a state of clear and distinct knowledge, inner peace, coherence and tranquility. It turns out that the secret of inevitable, inevitable success is clarity, clarity of consciousness and internal consistency. This state is also called congruence or personality integrity. Beliefs, states, behavioral reactions, all elements of experience are arranged in a kind of “parade of planets”. All parts of the personality become one, all internal conflicts disappear. Everything is built around a single center. What can fulfill the role of this center? In my opinion, there can be a very desirable goal, passion, love, the highest value or an event of existential importance, that is, when someone's fate is decided in the literal sense of the word. The invocation of this satori state can also be facilitated by the completion of the next stage in personal development or overcoming the next life crisis. Last but not least is psychological intervention. For example, one of the very simple techniques is to determine a chain of meanings. You can take any thing or item that is at your disposal. Now you need to consistently ask yourself the question “What does this mean to me?” Let’s take a closer look at this using a hypothetical example, say, a mobile phone. - What does my mobile phone mean to me? Communication with family, friends and just the right people at any time - What does it mean to me to communicate with family, friends and just the right people at any time? Comfortable communication and obtaining the necessary information in the world - What does comfortable communication and obtaining the necessary information in the world mean to me? Peace of mind and the opportunity to develop - What does peace of mind and opportunity mean to me develop? The basis for being realized in life - What does the basis for being realized in life mean to me? The opportunity to become the person I want to be - What does the opportunity to become the person I want to be mean to me? I can live happily and enjoy life - What does it mean to me that I can live happily and enjoy life? I will find joy - What does it mean to me that I will find joy? My life will be filled with great meaning - What will it mean to me if will my life be filled with great meaning? I will feel a timeless connection with the Higher powers, with the divine - What will it mean for me to feel a timeless connection with the Higher powers, with the divine? Boundless joy from feeling like a part of God Let's pause in our hypothetical example. The number of value levels can be either less or more. The criterion for completion will be a feeling of fixation, when the answers to the question “what does this mean for me?” will begin to repeat. The answer to the last question reveals the significance of the highest level. Such a value can serve as a new single center of personality and increase its internal consistency. The satori state in which success becomes inevitable will be a consequence of the acquired congruence and integrity of the personality.
