Recently, we have had a number of requests about transferring to our school from some other school. And I have already explained this topic, now I will tell you in more detail how things stand here. First, I myself am not a supporter of people who have not completed the basic course running around to different schools. I believe that you need to complete the main course in one place - to form a normal mental profile, which can be considered as the foundation of a house, and then with the help of this profile you can process something. If you assemble the foundation in pieces crookedly, then there will be quite a lot of difficulties. I have already spoken on this topic many times and will not go deeper now.
Secondly, if a person still feels that it is difficult for him to study where he has already come, then there is little point in forcing himself. Each teacher is an individual with his own contract. Even though Avvadon left behind more than 30–40 commanders, we are all different. Imagine that there is a professor, say, Abram Ioffe, who left behind a galaxy of students. And everyone followed their own path: Semyonov created the Institute of Chemical Physics, Kapitsa - the Institute of Physical Problems, Alikhanov created Laboratory No. 3 (nuclear research - theoretical and experimental physics in the future), Kurchatov created Laboratory No. 2 - the Institute of Atomic Energy, etc. I want to say that, despite the fact that people were students of one person, they are all different personalities and each followed their own path. And their views on life also differed from each other. And sometimes dramatically.
Yes, we are all united by the fact that Avvadon was our teacher. But after his departure, one way or another, everyone began to develop something of their own. I am writing this to answer your question about how to move from one school to another. To do this you need to somehow understand the situation. At least on a general level. I don’t know how many commanders are working now, but from memory I can list at least 10 who are developing their own schools and have been doing this for a long time and successfully. And they are already developing something of their own. Yes, the same seeds were planted in us. But man, man's consciousness, is the soil in which the seed rises. And in different soils, the same seeds produce something different. The same thing is happening to my students now. And you can already see some roads that are emerging for them. And these are some of their own ways.
The teacher and student must have some kind of resonance, some kind of coincidence. If there are none at all, then learning will be very difficult. And this is not the problem of the teacher or the student. And I understand people who are trying to find something suitable for themselves. At the same time, at my school I always have students who, when they come to me, look at what we do, at how I do something, they understand that this is not close to them. And they leave. And I take this quite calmly. There is no point in trying to hold them back and grab someone's hand. If there are no coincidences, then the person simply will not be able to learn. And here you can think about the situation yourself and see if I can build something in myself to change the situation? And if so, then what? And this is already some kind of work on yourself. I always try to understand how I and my school can be better and more effective. Where can we grow? Therefore, when some guys come to us and say that they studied there and want to try with us, I cannot forbid them these things. I believe that a person should try to study in different places until he feels that this is his place. And as soon as he feels this, he needs to stop in his running and begin to go deeper in this place. At a minimum, complete the main course normally, and, if possible, form some kind of magical specialization, so that there is some kind of fixation, position. But there is a question about how a person’s experience can be taken into account during the transition. Because when trying to switch, they always pose the question like this: “I’ve already studied, I’ve passed this, how can I continue - are you one system?”
Third, this is where the problem arises, because we are no longer one system. Why - I answered above. Personally, I have practically no contacts left with the commanders. Not because I closed myself off from someone, but this is just the way the situation is. Everyone forms their own boundaries for their school, and many of these boundaries begin to be surrounded with barbed wire and security towers are erected. Interaction becomes quite problematic. I try to maintain some kind of relationship with whoever I can. But these are single contacts. At the same time, I am always open to any adequate forms of interaction with all people, and not only from our system.
In Atlantis there is the concept of "main course", created by Abbadon. And this includes a certain base. All other training is built on its basis. People who have completed the basic course in the Atlantis school system have done some work. And I don't suggest they do it all over again. If someone has completed the main course, then we can take this into account and give you the status of a candidate for junior students. This status is received by people who have completed our main course in an online format. But we still need to check you somehow. We won’t do any complicated testing, but we will try to understand whether you have this base. And this testing is carried out by the preceptors of my school. This is the work they do - and it costs 3 thousand rubles. If you took the main course and want to join our system, please do so.
Fourth - if you studied “for a long time and a lot”, but did not take the main course anywhere, then I still have to insist that you complete it in a normal, holistic form. I want you to pay attention now to the fact that all these things apply only to people who want to move in the school’s development system - to receive statuses and degrees. If you just want to come to our specialty, you don’t need anything for this, you don’t need any status to attend classes. I say all these things for people who are interested in the platform development system and its capabilities.
For people who have been in the Atlantis system for a long time, but have not completed the main course, I can offer this: recordings of the main course classes. You listen to them, practice them at your own pace - take the test - you get a candidate. Candidate status makes it possible to submit an essay. Passed the essay and received the status of a junior student. Passed extrasensory perception - 2 MA, received a senior student. Next comes the status of the preceptor. Then commander's.
Fifth, we have distance learning. These are also recordings, only you are working with an older student, you have access to the school chat, you can interact with me, ask some questions (briefly). And, having completed distance learning in this way, you automatically receive a candidate without testing.
You need to understand that in our school we understand learning as a sequential stage in the construction of a certain tower (hence the name - the order of the tower). The tower is built on a foundation. Floor by floor is being built. There is a certain development plan. If you are not ready for this yet and you want to run back and forth and grab everything you like without trying to somehow assimilate and integrate it, that’s your business. But any school is a system. And if you want to develop in this system, you need to join the program that it has. If it doesn't suit you, that's okay. You will find something suitable one day. If where you were before didn’t suit you, try us. But I once again urge everyone to understand whether it really didn’t suit you or whether you just like to jump from branch to branch. If the latter, then I do not recommend that you leave where you are currently studying. And I advise you to complete the process that you started, if there are no fundamental obstacles that prevent you from doing this.
Sixth, if you want to understand whether my school is right for you, just take 1 cycle of correspondence education and see if it resonates or not. If you don’t go, don’t bother yourself anymore. Go ahead and study further. After completing the main part-time course, switch to online on Sundays. If you are only considering training online, wait for the next enrollment. You can read books for now to understand whether there is inclusion in what we are doing. Here you need to try something, and not think about what suits you. You’ve tried this and that, and already have some experience, and you understand what suits you and what doesn’t. You simply won’t understand it any other way.
And seventh: the result of any training is the specialists who are produced by the school and the teacher. Once in St. Petersburg, I worked here in a rehabilitation center for a short time. After 2 months, I gathered the entire management team, the leaders arrived from Moscow, and I asked: “Guys, in 2 months I haven’t seen a single sober graduate from you, do you even have them?” To which they proudly answered: “No.” After that, I created true chaos of the revolution there and left there. So, there must always be some kind of product that the enterprise produces. In our school, these are students who have become magicians. And to understand what our school is doing, you can go to classes with our preceptors - look at them, try to work with them. And then you will understand us better. Because my older students, preceptors, are what we ultimately produce. We don’t have many of these people, but they are all promising people who have developed magical positions, who have learned a lot and become established as magicians. Each of these people is an asset to our school that we have produced through great effort. And these people themselves are an indicator of what we do, just as the commanders of Abbadon were indicators of how his school worked. Always look to the older students in the school to form an opinion of what is going on there. An opinion about a car plant is formed not by advertising in a magazine, but by the cars they produce. And an opinion about a magician is formed not by what he says about himself, but by what he does and what are the results of his work.
Now the space of the Atlantis school after the departure of Abbadon has been divided into pieces. These pieces are of different sizes, and they have different laws (different information structures). Depending on the teacher or group of teachers, depending on their position, specialization, element and other parameters, these laws differ from each other. And everyone chooses something that suits them personally. Just choose not with your head, but use sensitivity, rely on your feelings. And then you won't go wrong. You will feel some resonances in one place, but in another there will be none or there will be dissonance. And this doesn't say anything about the school, it says about your interaction with it. I, as best I can, create some opportunities to keep our school and platform open. And in principle, I trust all the commanders from Atlantis in the sense that they will give a normal, full-fledged basic course. And I could count your words automatically without testing. And I had these ideas. But testing - it gives certain things both to you and to us. We understand better who came to us. You initially receive some kind of fixation and support after testing. So I decided to leave it. In general, I hope I answered this request, which has already been scrolled several times over the past week.
