To be honest, I didn’t even know that such a holiday even existed. However, the brownie, or as many call it, it is customary to honor the hostess. They say that he pays for respect in kind - love, peace and prosperity will reign in the house. Therefore, today we decided to talk about brownies.
Brownies exist! I always see them, they are in every house without exception. They often look like a cat or an old man, says Barnaul parapsychologist Natalya Petrova.
By the way, not only people with psychic controversy saw and communicated with brownies, but also ordinary residents of Barnaul. So, for example, the teacher Lyudmila Mishina told how she met in the brownies.
It was at night, as if in some kind of haze, but I immediately realized that it was a brownie. He was small, black and very fluffy. I even remember my feeling - I really wanted to cuddle him, - recalls Lyudmila Mishina. - Most of all I was struck by his eyes: huge, yellow and unblinking. By the way, outwardly, he was very similar to the Behemoth cat from the TV series The Master and Margarita. But I didn’t see the brownie’s tail. I tried to ask him: “For worse or for better?” But I did not understand what he answered me. He seemed to be mumbling something like, “Good!”
And soon Lyudmila Alekseevna and her family moved to a new spacious apartment, so the appearance of a brownie turned out to be a good sign. By the way, even museum workers collect stories about brownies.
Most of the stories about the meeting with the brownie were told to us in the Zonal District, - says the head of the local history museum of the Altai State pedagogical academy Natalya Gribanova. One day a local woman went to bed. Suddenly, at night, she felt that something black, wet, hairy, the size of a sheep, had fallen on her chest. She thought that it was the brownie who began to choke her. By the way, in such a situation, it is recommended either to read prayers, or, conversely, to swear with a choice obscenity so that the brownie falls behind.
The brownie will always warn the owners about the coming important events V prophetic dream or by coming in person. Seeing him, you need to ask: "For worse or for better?", - says parapsychologist Natalya Petrova. - If he strangles - for worse, if soft and caresses - for good. If the brownie does not accept a person (whether it be a host or a guest), then he will choke him at night.
How to make friends with brownies
It is best to establish a good good relationship with the hostess. According to the parapsychologist, in order to make friends with him, you must definitely feed and drink the hostess. Late in the evening, before going to bed, leave in a secluded place in the kitchen a small apple, a plate of milk, bread, and a cup of cottage cheese. Say the words of the conspiracy:
Grandfather-domovolochka,
Come into my house
eat bread,
listen to the new owner.
Eat, help yourself, don't be offended by me,
Save happiness, guard the house,
Drive out strangers.
Then cross the left treat and go to bed. Before going to bed, read "Our Father" three times.
Good or evil brownie?
According to beliefs, the brownie will be supportive of those who lead a normal life.
If there are quarrels in the house, they constantly drink, etc., then the brownie will be aggressive. If it is cozy, calm, delicious smells of food, then the brownie is blissful and helps the owners - he looks after the children, nothing is lost in the house, etc. experts say.
When moving
It is believed that when moving, you must definitely call the brownie with you. Leaving the old house, say the phrase three times: "Brownie, brownie, come with us." But that's not all. The brownie may not like the new place, and then he will express his displeasure to the owners. And this is completely unpleasant: at night, cabinet doors begin to slam, incomprehensible squeaks are heard, things disappear. In this case, appease the brownie.
Even if all this seems implausible and fictitious, sometimes thoughts still come to mind: “What if it’s true, there is something in this ...”. Probably for this reason, we spit three times over the left shoulder, returning home we always look in the mirror and are afraid to spill salt ...
For worse What. Prost. Something portends evil, trouble. About superstitious omens. - The first time I did not baptize her at night. - Oh, for worse, for worse ... does not bode well(Dostoevsky.

Chapter I
Your life is a path on which you are given the opportunity to go through various trials and find your soul.
Valentina Tolkunova
There are times in life when you think, “No, I can't do it! Just a little more and everything will collapse! Everything around is changing - the situation, circumstances, people - and you don't know if it's for good or for worse. It seems that everything that you have built so far with the best of intentions is moving from its place and is coming at you like a shaft: “What you fought for, you ran into ...”
You are confused, it is difficult for you. And suddenly a man appears next to you. Friend, Helper, Mentor...
And life is magically transformed. It seems that nothing special is happening, but you feel: everything falls into place, clears up and continues to go as it should.
And then faith in yourself, in your strength returns to you.
But the main thing is that you begin to see what was previously hidden from you.
This happened to me in 2005.
How it all started
Before that, my beloved sister Margarita and I worked for 15 years in the Russian Shaping Federation. I was the chief physician of the federation and traveled a lot around the country: I trained trainers and medical workers of our branches (in the 90s, shaping was very popular in the country, and branches grew in cities and towns like mushrooms after rain). Computer testing for beginners; drawing up an individual nutrition program and a set of physical exercises for body shaping; determining the intensity of physical activity depending on the state of health, etc. There was a lot of work. I have completed advanced training courses for doctors in dietetics, received additional education in the field of sports medicine. At the same time, Rita and I studied advanced Western technologies for “creating an ideal body” - special techniques, massage techniques, physiotherapy procedures. And in the end, they decided to open a medical office for body shaping on the basis of the federation.
I want to say that in those days, services of this kind were not heard in our country. So our office instantly became known throughout Moscow. The number of clients was huge. And my sister and I, respectively, received a lot of experience in our business.
So several years passed. Our knowledge and capabilities have grown. We studied a lot, traveled abroad, adopted the experience of colleagues in the best beauty clinics in America, France, Italy, Portugal, Brazil, and Japan.
The small hall in which the office was located no longer suited us. It could not accommodate the medical equipment we needed. He, in the end, did not accommodate everyone who wanted to become slimmer and more attractive!
Rita and I increasingly began to think about opening our own health and beauty clinic. And in 2002, such an opportunity presented itself - not even one, but two! That is, it turned out that my sister and I could open not one, but two whole centers of our own! And that's when we thought... The demand for our services was such that, working together, we did not satisfy it. And it would be absurd to hold hands tightly when it is possible to separate and thereby double the reception of the suffering.
So we did. Rita headed the Center for Aesthetic Medicine, and I headed the Center for Aesthetics and Health "Rimmarita".
And here for me began what I wrote about at the beginning of the chapter ...
Time to collect stones
My sister and I were twins and in childhood we were like two peas in a pod. They said about us: "They look at each other, as if in a mirror." All our lives we have been together, inseparable from one another. IN kindergarten walked hand in hand. To school too. Together they graduated from the 1st Moscow medical institute. And the specialties, in general, were related to us. I became a cardiologist, Rita became a cardiologist. And both of us are candidates of medical sciences. Within 15 years joint work any issues my sister and I decided together. And I always knew that together we are strong.
And then suddenly I'm alone. I felt like half of my body was gone. No arm, no leg ... In general, I felt like a person with handicapped. Meanwhile, the affairs of the "Rimmarites" did not wait. The decision was made: “The center will be, the center will live!” Bridges burned, Rubicon crossed. Arrangement of premises, negotiations with builders and designers; purchase of equipment, conclusion of foreign contracts; recruitment and training of personnel - an unimaginable mass of worries and problems! What about the management of the centre? I have never led anyone, although I was the senior doctor of the federation! First of all, I am a doctor, a specialist. And a woman. Weak, by the way, like all women in the world ...
I lost confidence in myself. And although she did not give up and stubbornly moved her legs in the direction of the goal, she was in terrible tension.

Is man born for good or for worse?
For good or for worse, a person is born, I answer this question, for good and for worse: not one for good, but another for worse: and not partly another to one, but another to another; but suddenly to both. This answer will seem contrary to reason; for there is nothing that without mixing two opposites would contain properties, and it would suddenly be both sweet and not sweet. A mixture of two opposite things in both takes away the power of a natural property. And if the opposition of things is equal; so in the mixture, neither one nor the other will be felt; having become what is felt by the third, and the two things from which it is composed are not at all similar. And although in the mixture of good with evil, and not the same state as in the mixture of sweet and bitter, so that both mixed things produce something third, having lost their former property; for in the mixture of good and bad, every particle retains its property, and every action is visible in the mixture; yet in man they coexist. Particles of good and bad, not only through changes, but sometimes and suddenly can appear. Good and bad are exchanged for example like this: at this hour I accuse a person, at another hour I defend the innocent; but sometimes good and bad suddenly appear: a drunkard, lying in the mud on the street, gives mercy to a beggar. Action yields to action when they extend along the same path, and when they are different, then not only consonants go together, but also opposite ones, if they are different. Suddenly it’s impossible to stand and walk. Suddenly, you can wallow in the mud and give alms. Two particles of good interfere, but one good and the other bad do not interfere. Who will give a beggar a penny, a piece of bread, and a glass of water; he will do a good deed. He who, drunk, wallows in the mud and at the same time gives mercy, does both good and bad. Does the drunkard's debauchery interfere with his generosity? Good and bad are so opposite to each other that although they mix, they can never unite, and there is no middle ground between good and bad; for good is without degree, but evil without end. All our participating kindnesses are the participation of perfect goodness, and all of them are perfect and do not participate in our nature. Rising badly to good in degrees and becoming better from hour to hour, it should have turned into good in the end, and be perfection; but it is impossible to achieve perfection; for it is not from bad to good that the natural flow extends, but from good to bad, although we from natural bad, to good by art somewhat ascend, being enlightened and purified. Good in the center is perfect, but from the center they extend into thinly endless lines. What is far from bad from good is worse. Perfection has no degrees. Consequently, there is nothing better than God; for perfection cannot be better. The imperfection of the degree is infinite, and consequently there is no such evil that would not be even worse. I said that a person is born for both good and bad; Don't I think that a person is born partly for good, partly for worse? No, I don’t think so, but to an unclear question, I will clearly answer. Man is born for his own sake, for good, but for the sake of another man, and for the sake of every other animal, for worse. Each breather is harmful to another breather, both in its own and in another's way; for not only creatures of alien creatures, but also of their own, destroy, and that all creatures are born to each other, both in their own and alien kind, for worse, daily experiments assure us of this. The general utility does not weaken this proof; in it each one has his own profit. In all communities, both among humans and other creatures, consent from one's own and participating in one's presence is approved, and not from love for a creature similar to oneself. We make friends and love for ourselves. We love another when we love ourselves, we hate when we hate it. All our actions come from love for ourselves and from hatred for another. Not by nature, but by Morality and Politics, we are inclined towards virtue. Morality is the knowledge of the wisdom of God and the eternal rule resting on unshakable glory. Politics is the knowledge of human wisdom and temporal charter resting on unshakable good. Morality without Politics is useless, Politics without Morality is inglorious. But both of these knowledges are closely connected with each other, that in no way, one without loss of glory, and the other without loss of benefit, cannot be separated; for pleasing the Divine cannot be without pleasing humanity, and pleasing humanity cannot be without pleasing the Divine. It is not possible to irritate a criminal man without violating the truth, nor the truth, without violating humanity. If there were no God; there would be no honesty, and morality would be unnecessary, but only Politics would be needed. And if it were in the world of corruption; there would be no dishonesty, and there would be no need for Politics. But God exists, and exists for the good, but we are born for the worse, and are corrected by Morality and Politics. But even with all our virtue, we are still thin, with the only difference that one is worse than the other. And we owe virtue not to our nature, but to this spark of the Divine, which we call Morality, and Politics based on it, Morality and Politics make us, according to the size of the enlightenment of the mind and purification of the heart, useful to the common good. And without that, people would have long ago exterminated each other without a trace.
