There are cases where the pendulum won’t fail. That is, to ignore it is impossible, and to leave it is also impossible.

I had a friend, so agreeable, so good
natured, and, at the same time, endowed with incredible physical strength. We were going somewhere together on the tram late one night, when we met a group of thugs in an aggressive mood – a true, destructive pendulum. There were many of them, feeding each other with their negative energies and filled with a sense of being above the law. In order to multiply the energy of such groups, as a rule, it’s necessary to continually find someone to bully, in order to get more energy from outside. They started bothering my friend, as the good
natured and peace
loving expression on his face didn’t suggest any danger. They tried in every way to lure him into fighting, with sneers and insults; but he sat still and didn’t react to the provocations – that is, tried to make the pendulum go away. I also didn’t interfere, as I knew that nothing was threatening him. Here, the group took a big risk and continued their provocations. Finally, not bearing it any longer, my friend got up and started for the exit, but the most impudent adherent blocked his way. Then my friend, blocked in a corner, picked up the offender by the scruff of his neck, and gave him a monstrous blow to the head.

The victim’s face was suddenly transformed into an amorphous blob. The remaining heroes were struck dumb with amazement and fear. My friend turned and grabbed the next one, but that one, in a trembling voice, began to mumble: “Thatat’s enough, guy… enough… no-o-o, please.” The energy of the pendulum was instantly extinguished, and the adherents, jumping up and stepping back, ran out of the tram. Of course, those people are fortunate who can stand up for themselves. But if not, what then? If there is truly nowhere to retreat to, then, to stop the pendulum, you can throw it something extraordinary – that is, something from you that no one expects. I’ve heard of such a story. A herd of “fearless” adherents of a street gang cornered one fellow and were preparing to beat him up. Then he came right up to the ringleader, opened his eyes wide, with a crazy stare, and said to him, “So what do I break, your nose or your jaw?” The way the question was posed clearly didn’t fit with the situation, and the ringleader was instantly taken aback. Then the fellow, with unhealthy enthusiasm, cried” “Or maybe I’ll tear your ear off!” And with all five fingers grabbed him by the ear. The ringleader gave a heart
rending cry. The entire spectacle, that the gang was used to playing out, was interrupted. The ringleader already had no thoughts to beat anybody, only one care tore at him – how to free his ear. The gang let the fellow go, judging him a psycho. Thus the fellow escaped bloodshed. So then, if you have faced a situation, where the usual script will lead to a well
known denouement, do something – it’s not important what – that isn’t supposed to be in the script. The pendulum will be stopped. The thing is, as long as you act according to the script, you accept the pendulum’s game and give out your energy to that frequency. But if your frequency strongly differs, you fall into dissonance with the pendulum, and by so doing, throw it off its rhythm. At the same time, it doesn’t pay to ask for trouble, if you have dealings with a pendulum, to which you have nothing to lose. If someone has set upon you to rob you, it’s better to immediately give him money. Some people even carry ten dollar bills in cash especially for such occasions. For example, if the robber is a narcotics addict or a psycho, he can easily deprive you of your life, even if you are a master of the martial arts. Therefore, with that type of person, it’s better not to have anything to do with them, as they are like wild dogs. Otherwise, your death would be unjustified and absurd.

A sense of humor and creative imagination can help stop a pendulum. Turn your irritation into a game. For example, crowds of people on the street or in public transport set upon you, and they are hurrying somewhere and interfering with your movement forward. Imagine that you are in Antarctica, at a bird bazaar. These people are penguins, humorously waddling, fussing, and pottering about. And who are you? Also a penguin. After such a transformation, people already sooner inspire sympathy and curiosity, than irritation. Of course, it’s hard to control yourself, when you literally want to storm and rage. At these moments, hardest of all is to remember that this is only a pendulum striving to pull energy from you. Don’t give in to its provocations. The pendulum, like a vampire, uses its own form of anesthesia – your habit of negatively reacting to the irritator. Even now, having read these words, after several minutes, you can be distracted and answer an unwanted telephone call in an irritated voice. But if you set the aim to acquire the habit of remembering, over time, immunity against provocation by pendulums will develop in you. Observe, that when you came across some sort of annoying circumstance and you reacted with irritation, dissatisfaction, negative emotions, immediately the continuation follows and the development of the negative situation in the same way, or new unpleasantness arises. Thus the pendulum swings. It’s you yourself who is swinging it. Act in an opposite way – either don’t react at all, or react in an inappropriate way. For example, you can meet unpleasantness with false enthusiasm or in general with idiotic ecstasy. This would be stopping the pendulum. You are convinced that there will be no continuation. As you remember, the habit of negatively reacting to annoying situations is the starting point for the pendulum’s capture mechanism to get your mental energy. Such a habit fades away, if you will play your own game, in which you purposely make the following substitutions: fear – confidence, low spirits – enthusiasm, indignation – indifference, irritation – joy. Try to react, at least to small unpleasantness, “inappropriately.” What have you got to lose? Yes, it might even be absurd, but such a style of play doesn’t leave any chances for the pendulum. Why does such a style of play appear absurd to us? Because the pendulum has taught us to play only in ways useful to it. Try now to force it to play your game, the game brings you pleasure, and you’ll find out in amazement, what a powerful technique it is. The principle here is this: radiating at a frequency different from the resonating frequency, you enter into dissonance with the pendulum, in relation to you, it stops, and leaves you in peace. There is another interesting method of quietly stopping the pendulum. If someone is bothering you, that is, is creating a problem for you, try to determine, what that person needs. Now imagine to yourself this person, having what he needs. This could be: health, confidence, peace of mind. If you think about it, these are the three fundamental things, which we all need, in order to feel satisfied. Think, what does he in fact need in the current moment?

Suppose that your boss yelled at you. Maybe he’s tired, or there is some kind of unpleasantness in his family? Then he needs peace of mind. Imagine to yourself that he is relaxing in an armchair in front of the television, or by a fireplace, or at a party, where he is the center of attention. Maybe he is sick, not feeling well? Imagine to yourself that he is happy and healthy, swimming in the ocean, riding a bicycle, playing football. Of course, it’s better to imagine him with what he likes to do. But you don’t have to guess, don’t let it bother you. It’s quite enough to imagine this person in a situation, where he is satisfied.

What’s happening here? Here he appeared on your horizon with a problem for you. (And this could include a robber, as well). Distract yourself from the problem which he brought you. In this way, from the very beginning, you are not putting your head in the hangman’s noose of frequency. Imagine this person receiving exactly what he needs. (What does a robber want? To eat, to drink, a needle?). Visualize to yourself a picture of this person’s satisfaction. If you’re successful, you can consider that you’re done with the problem. For, the pendulum didn’t simply begin to swing as usual. Something disturbed its equilibrium. Consciously or not, it looks for what will restore its equilibrium. And suddenly the energy of your thoughts on a certain frequency gives this to it, although indirectly. It instantly changes its aggression for benevolence. What’s hard to believe about this? Verify it!

At the heart of the current method lies the principle of stopping the pendulum. A man
pendulum comes to you with a problem, you solve the problem, but not in a clear way, but on the energy plane. You have given the pendulum your energy, but only the very smallest part, in comparison to what you could have lost. Moreover, you’ve done a good deed – if only temporarily, you’ve given help to the one in need. What’s interesting is that as a consequence, he changes his relationship to you, becoming more friendly. It will never even occur to him why, in your company, he feels comfortable.

Let it be your small secret. Such a small technique can also be successfully applied in those cases, when you yourself need to get something from somebody, but he’s concerned with his own problems and not disposed to give that something to you. Do you need an official’s signature? First, “feed” him with charitable visualization, and he’ll do everything for you. And a last example. What do you think, where does the energy go from a pendulum that has been stopped? It comes to you. Having come to terms with a problem, you become stronger. And the next time, it will already not be difficult for you. Isn’t it really like that? While struggling with the problem, you give energy to the pendulum that gave birth to this problem itself. Practice in the ruining and stopping of pendulums is well
known to psychologists and psychiatrists as professional methods. In this sense, the given methods are not anything principally new. But for a person not acquainted with the practical methods of psychology, these methods are valuable, as they give a clarity and understanding to what and how psychological defense is and works.
