Is it possible to talk to a common frog?
(fairy tale)
A long time ago, in one small regional city, there lived large, green, lake frogs. They did not live in a lake or river, but in an old city park, where there was a small pond on the outskirts, so they were city frogs.
How important, narcissistic and arrogant they were! Each of them considered herself smart in the pond and therefore endless arguments arose between them every day. When the frogs argued, they never tried to convince each other or even listen. What do you! For what? They're so smart! Any one of them is smarter than everyone else! Therefore, they croaked as loudly as possible so as not to listen to another opinion and that’s all. So simple. See how stupid they were, these frogs! How stupid!
The frog arguments turned into such “concerts” that people could not stand it and went to the other end of the park. No one even thought that this was just another frog debate on a topic that was very interesting to them.
The frogs always argued about the same issue; they had no others. The frogs did not read any books or newspapers and did not listen to the radio; and people didn’t even have televisions back then. Frogs didn't go to the movies either. Who would let them in there without a ticket? In general, their education was not even primary, but zero, because they did not go to school or kindergarten for even a day.
Therefore, the question on which the frogs argued was this: namely, half of the frogs argued: “K-u-u-u-v-a,” which meant: “the most delicious thing is mosquitoes.” And the other half of the frogs stood on a diametrically opposite opinion and argued; “K-u-u-v-a!”, which meant: “The most delicious are flies!”
Have you noticed the difference? One less “y” and a completely different meaning. The frogs could discuss this vital question for them for so long until they themselves got tired of their croaking.
Their pond was small and overgrown. Around him grew large lilac bushes and the largest burdock trees in the park. On one side of the pond there was a bench hidden by bushes, and couples liked to sit on it, naturally, when the frogs weren’t croaking, that is, they weren’t having their very loud and lively “scientific discussions.”
Then there lived one boy in the same city. He studied in the sixth grade of school and sometimes came for a walk in the park. One day a boy listened and listened to the frogs and, when they fell silent, he decided to croak to them himself and see what would happen. He took it and croaked: “K-u-u-u-v-v-a!” - the boy did not know that in frog language this meant: “the most delicious thing is the dragonfly”!
The frogs were so surprised by this unusual statement that they sat and were silent, because they could not remember the last time they tried a dragonfly. There were few dragonflies over the pond, and they were much smarter than mosquitoes and flies and therefore were rarely seen, which means the frogs remembered for a long time, so the boy could not stand it and croaked one more time. This time he did the same as the frogs without the second “v”, which, as you remember, meant: “the most delicious thing is mosquitoes!” And this was already completely clear to all the frogs of the pond and they, as always, began their endless argument.
The frogs answered, the boy liked it and he remembered how to croak so that the frogs would answer him. From now on, the boy often came or ran to the pond and, if a couple was sitting on a bench and the frogs were silent, then he hid in the bushes or burdocks on the opposite side of the pond and from there croaked a couple of times so that the frogs answered him, and after that he watched with pleasure how the couple, unable to bear the frog “concert,” left.
The next year the boy grew up and came to the pond less often and croaked, but he remembered the croaking itself. Then the pond was filled up and there were no frogs in the park. They left the park and the city.
Many, many years have passed. The boy grew up, became a father, and then a grandfather. You see how many years have passed. And then one day the former boy, and now a grandfather, being at his dacha in the summer, went to a small pond near the forest to get water to water the tomatoes and saw little frogs in it. These frogs were very beautiful, bright green with gray-brown hind legs and black, round spots scattered throughout the body and legs. When he appeared, the frogs jumped into the water and only their eyes looked out of the water.
The former boy remembered his childhood and decided to croak, as he used to, and see if he had forgotten his ability to croak.
He croaked once - the nearest frog he was looking at stopped swimming away. Two croaked and the frog stuck its head out of the water. He croaked three times and the frog climbed out of curiosity onto a floating branch. And it’s not surprising, because they addressed it in a close, but still “foreign” language, a frog that was not green at all but with a blue stripe on its body. The frog didn’t know that these were just ordinary swimming trunks - she didn’t wear swimming trunks. This frog turned out to be a very polite and well-mannered rural frog. And so, when the former boy croaked again, the frog decided to answer him. Since it was a pond frog, two white resonator sacs filled with air swelled on the sides of its mouth and it croaked: “K-v-a-a!” - which meant: “Hello! Yes, you’re right – it will definitely rain, but not today.”
Rural frogs croak only about the weather. They are most interested in the weather, because before the rain all insects fall closer to the ground, which means they are easier to catch. And the rain itself is so wet and so pleasant. When she croaked, the frog became even more beautiful, these resonator bags suited her so well. The frog has become a real beauty.
The former boy realized that the frog answered him not only out of politeness, but also out of a desire to talk to him, and therefore every time he saw this frog in the pond, he always croaked politely at it until the fall, and it also politely answered him.
Autumn has come and the frogs hid for the winter. They were no longer visible. But in the spring, the former boy decided to check whether the frog had forgotten politeness over the winter or not. Is it really interesting? And what do you think? Did you forget or not?
Guys, when spring comes, it’s better not to throw stones at frogs, don’t hit them with stones - they are very useful and necessary, both for nature and for you, frogs destroy mosquitoes that bite you painfully, and flies that carry all sorts of diseases. We should not destroy our allies in nature at all, otherwise we will be left without them.
It’s better to get yourself a familiar frog and she will always politely respond to your address to her by croaking...
You just need to practice croaking a little.
The loss of a loved one very often becomes the reason for questions like this: “I want to talk to the deceased.” “I want to talk to my dead husband.” “My wife died, how to talk to her.” Have you ever heard these words? Or maybe they said them themselves? Then you belong to the fifth of humanity that has experienced the loss of a loved one and cannot come to terms with it. Not a single scientist or magician has yet been able to prove his thoughts regarding what awaits us after death. The most common opinion is that nothing awaits us, only earth and oblivion, but few are ready to come to terms with such a thought. That is why we long for communication with the dead. First of all, to ease the heartache a little, and then to prove to myself that there is still something after death. People who really believe it feel a huge sense of relief. Once they learn how to talk to the spirit of a deceased person, life becomes easier for them.
Is it possible to talk to the deceased?
For example, how to talk to your dead mom in a dream or how to talk to your dad who died. There is no definite answer to this question. Scientists explain anomalous phenomena and ghosts either as hallucinations or fraud. Psychics, in turn, accuse them of stupidity, short-sightedness and narrow-mindedness. Religion stays a little to the side. Therefore, each of us must find for ourselves the answer to the question of whether it is possible to talk to a deceased person. To make the decision more reasonable, let’s consider three points of view in more detail. It's up to you to agree with one or not.
- Most likely, you won't succeed the first time. But don’t despair, keep trying and luck will smile on you. Perhaps in weeks or months. Do meditation and think again and again why you want to know how to talk to your deceased wife or other loved one. Why are you having this conversation? You are in danger, the wrong person may come to you, we may be too upset from communication. Perhaps, in trying to talk with the dead, you are running away from reality? If this is the case, it is better to seek support from the living rather than the departed.
- Develop the power of your imagination. There are esoteric practices for this. Try changing the color of your clothing in your mind, keeping in mind its other characteristics. Imagine that you are moving something from place to place, monitoring the process, managing it.
- The best assistant in meditation and developing your magical abilities is the ability to not think about anything. It sounds simple, but simply having a blank mind can cost you a lot of effort.
- Get away from emotions. Lock them in a small closet and go to meet the deceased without them. Otherwise, the consequences may be unpredictable.
- Don't just fall asleep, but focus on your desire. Turn on your imagination, remember about reality, about something that will not let you forget about yourself in a dream, always remember the question you want to ask.
Psychics say that if you do everything right, you will achieve your goal. So you know how to talk to the deceased in a dream. But remember, seeing a dead person in a dream is not a good omen. If he comes to you too often, it means that something is wrong with you or with his soul. Go to church or to his grave.
You can learn how to talk to a deceased person on paper by reading the instructions below. The advantage of talking on paper is that it is safer than in a dream and requires much less effort.
- First take some paper, the larger the sheet, the better. You will also need at least 4 thick, white candles without dyes or scents. By trying to evoke a spirit with a mint candle, you are insulting the deceased. Then prepare a small white plate, preferably a dessert plate, and a felt-tip pen, you can take a pen, not a pencil.
- Now do what is shown in many films. You may have even done this with friends as a child. Draw letters along the edge of the sheet of paper; they should be large, but not located next to each other.
- Place a candle in each corner of the sheet, which can be placed on the floor or table. If you have a good supply of candles, light the extra ones to the side. This will strengthen your connection with the world in spirit, because fire has been considered a mystical symbol since ancient times.
- Make a long mark or arrow on your plate. Focus. If you are doing summoning with someone else, make sure they believe in otherworldly powers. Mistrust can destroy any connection.
- Ask the first question. The best thing to do is ask if the spirit you called has arrived. Touch the saucer with your fingertips and throw all thoughts out of your head except questions. If the power comes to you, the saucer will begin to move. Traditionally, the most spiritually strong person communicates with the spirit.
Conclusion
We have largely answered the question of how to talk to a deceased person. Light magic in this regard is the most effective; it implies respect for the deceased and his feelings. If you communicate with the deceased without evil or on his initiative, you do not take sin on your soul. A completely different situation - different people who are trying to revive the dead or force them to serve themselves. Better not try to follow them, they never ended well.

I'm dating a young man. He is 21. But there are many things that bother me about the relationship. And I don't even know if I can explain everything. At the beginning he was just super: attention, calls, gifts... We, so to speak, almost live together already. But he became somehow closed and withdrawn... nervous... Maybe work strains his nerves, but still... I’m interested in knowing everything about my loved one: how his day went, what problems, what news happened... and, Of course, I want his care and affection. But he can come and hardly talk... No hugging or caressing... And all because he is tired, how he answers everything... Although he communicates normally with his friends and tells how his day went... It was a shame when he moved to another job and didn’t tell me anything. But when we came to visit, I already found out everything there... When I start saying something that I’m unhappy with, he only gets annoyed... How can I talk to him? What should I do?

What should you do? Don't waste time on illusions. If you have already moved in with him, pack your bags, pack your toothbrush and leave. If “almost living together” means periodic sleepovers together after sex, then just change your partner. This one doesn’t know how to get rid of you without offending you and without looking pale. You don’t have to worry about relationships—there aren’t any. There are your fantasies and persistent attempts to pass off wishful thinking. The guy is only 21 years old, he became interested in you and played the lover for some time. The interest has already passed, but the obligations of the type “you are responsible for those you have tamed” remain. His isolation, closedness, and nervousness are not a derivative of his work, but a consequence of suppressing a hidden desire to break off your relationship. I don’t know why he can’t do this openly, but this is generally typical of a certain part of men - to bring their women to such a condition when they themselves initiate a breakup. For some reason, it’s easier for them, men: it’s like it wasn’t he who abandoned him, but someone left him... If you still doubt that your boyfriend doesn’t need your relationship, ask yourself: a man who ignores a woman does not share important things with her news from his own life, does not hug or kiss her and brushes her off like an annoying fly - does this man love this woman? Or does he just tolerate her near him?

Ksenia, all people are different, and everyone has their own view of how relationships in a couple should be built. However, at the very beginning of meetings, during the romantic period, no one thinks about it. This is why many couples begin to live together, having global plans for the future, but their relationship collapses miserably after just a few months of living together. It just turns out that people have diametrically opposed views on coexistence. While romance, strong emotions, passions are raging, no one really notices anything. Not before. But as soon as the storm inevitably subsides and everyday life comes to the fore, problems begin. A man, for example, suddenly finds himself committed to the idea that a woman must spend all her time only pleasing her husband in the kitchen and in bed, as silently as possible and without any demands. Or something else. In addition, quite often in young couples, a woman suddenly realizes that her partner does not behave exactly the way an adult man should behave. He is attached to friends, not to family, he is happy to run away from home to get together with friends or spend days playing computer games rather than doing housework. It is difficult to discuss pressing everyday problems with him, since he does not understand at all what he has to do with it. But if you still continue to insist on discussing the problem, try to arrange an adult conversation, he will get irritated and start a scandal, after which he may begin to ignore or simply run away to his mother. That is, he behaves like a big child. Actually, this is the problem. Alas, most young people grow up much later than their peers, and therefore simply cannot perceive reality at least in the same way as already matured girls. You should not discount the fact that even if people started living together, this does not mean at all that they sincerely loved each other. And even if in your mind you’ve already gotten married, given birth to children, raised grandchildren, and even put a fence on your husband’s grave, your boyfriend could simply understand that he doesn’t love you at all and doesn’t want to be with you. But either he can’t say this yet, or he’s afraid. In general, there are a huge variety of possible options. However, no matter what, I strongly advise you not to forget that you are also a person and you have a sense of self-worth. And if someone clearly ignores you, doesn't want to talk, or just shuts up, it means they don't respect you. And where there is no respect, there is definitely no love. Well, is it worth continuing to try to preserve something that does not exist and never existed? Alas, often girls want to be “married” so much or at least be considered “unfree” that they are ready to tolerate anything around them. For what? Alas, the answer to this question is beyond the reach of higher metaphysics and beyond the reach of my weak male mind. So, personally, I think that you shouldn’t ask questions here, but send your friend to hell at least once. Don't want to talk? Does this make you angry? Well, that means you don’t love me, and that’s why you went to your mother. Why are you afraid to do this? Do you really think that living with someone who doesn’t respect you is all you deserve in this life? No, if so, then for God's sake. Then fall to your knees, cling to your pants, crawl after him and tearfully beg permission to talk. In the end, to each his own.
Can. The question is how, where and for what. Nobody forbids us to mentally or out loud communicate with the deceased, but from the outside it may not look very adequate, to put it mildly. The most correct way of communication is prayer. If we simply talk to the deceased, it is not a fact that they hear us, but prayer, that is, its grace-filled effect, definitely reaches the addressee. The “safest” place for prayer is a temple: light a candle for the repose of your soul and talk if there is such a need. Why is it safe - because if you talk somewhere else, there may be temptations that entail consequences, for example, mental deviations after such “conversations” or the danger of unnoticed falling into pagan worship of spirits.
It is also important not to forget about one more aspect of “mourning” for deceased relatives. When we cry for the deceased, first of all, we feel sorry for ourselves - how we will miss them. We must remember that they are not at all happy to see us cry. If we really love someone, then we try to help him, in this case, to alleviate his fate, and there is no better way than prayer for this.
Commemoration at the Divine Liturgy is especially useful for the deceased. During this service, the particles taken for the living and the dead are immersed in the Blood of the Lord with the words: “Wash away, Lord, the sins of those who were remembered here with Your Honest Blood, with the prayers of Your saints.”
Alms given for the deceased are also very important. She helps him there, because the suffering person to whom you give it will pray for him. Saint Blessed Xenia of Petersburg devoted her entire future life to the repose of her dearly beloved husband - she distributed all her property to the poor.
How to properly pray for the dead
Professor A.I. OSIPOV
Indeed, it is not in vain that the Church prays for the departed. If it were impossible to change the spiritual state of the soul, then why would there be a prayer? However, at every liturgy the Church commemorates the departed and calls all believers to prayer, teaching them how to do it correctly. She says that prayerful assistance to the soul is especially important during the first 40 days after the death of a person. It is, of course, necessary afterwards. What kind of prayer are we talking about?
When a person dies, very often relatives limit themselves only to ordering funeral services, memorial services, magpies, submitting funeral notes, giving money to monasteries, churches, etc. All this is good, but good only if the main thing is not abandoned. After all, it is clear that the Lord God does not need any money.
What is the most important thing? What should a person who wants to help the deceased do? We touch upon an extremely serious question: who can help the deceased and how? What does it mean to pray for him? If God is love, then, it seems, why should we pray to Him, for He will already do everything that needs to be done. And if nothing can be done, then what is the point of praying? Protestants, by the way, rejected prayers for the dead. From the very beginning of its existence, the Orthodox Church affirms the need to pray for them. And there are serious reasons for this.
The Church claims that the condition of a person who finds himself in bonds of passion after death can be changed. After all, who does the Church call to pray for? For the saints? No. For sinners. That is, she claims that our prayers can help the soul get rid of the passionate demon-tormentor. How? To this the Lord directly answered the disciples who were unable to cast out the demon: “This generation is driven out only by prayer and fasting”(Matt. 17:21). By this He explained that the liberation of a person from demonic possession, or, what is the same thing, from slavery to passions and tormenting demons, requires not only prayer (which, alas, is often replaced only by proskomedia commemoration - without prayer - or by performing, for example, a memorial service and presence on it - without prayer), but also fasting, that is, ascetic life. It is no coincidence that the gift of casting out demons was given by God only to rare ascetics.
Here, for example, is an amazing incident that is described in the ancient life of St. Gregory the Great, Pope of Rome (who lived in the 6th century, that is, before the division of the Churches). He prayed not for anyone, but for Emperor Trajan - one of the cruel persecutors of Christians and at the same time the best emperor in terms of justice, who also persecuted Christians due to his justice and confidence in the need to fulfill the law. It was his justice and honesty, rare for Roman emperors, that became the reason for prayer for him. Trajan once stood up for a poor defenseless widow who was in a desperate situation, and St. Gregory was so touched by this act of his that he began to pray intensely, with feat, for him. As a result, it was revealed to him that his prayer was accepted. How to understand this? After all, Trajan not only was not baptized, but was also a persecutor of Christians. But what do we hear: “Let no one be surprised when we say that he (Trajan) was baptized, for without baptism no one will see God, and the third type of baptism— this is a baptism of tears.” Whose tears? - St. Gregory. This is the power of prayer combined with fasting! “Although this is a rare case,” explains Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose), “But it gives hope to those whose loved ones died outside the faith.”. Saint Isaac the Syrian wrote: “Every prayer in which the body was not weary and the heart was not grieved is counted as one with the unborn fruit of the womb, because such prayer does not have a soul in it.”
A Christian has three birthdays: physical, spiritual (in baptism) and the day of death (birth into eternity). It is no coincidence that the days of remembrance of saints— these are the days of their death. Death is not a dead end, death— this is the door. In Christian experience it is revealed that death is not the antonym of life, death is a part of life.(Protodeacon Andrey Kuraev)
After physical death, the soul does not die, it continues to live and develop in new conditions. What they will be depends on the experience of earthly life. We carry heaven and hell within us today and therefore take them with us into eternity. A person who carries evil within himself is outside of God and remains alone with this evil. Court— this is a permanent phenomenon. And our clash with good and evil, when we have a choice in the way,— this is a court. Therefore, one should not think that the court— this is only at the end of the story.(Archpriest Alexander Men)
At birth, a person receives human life from his parents. This is a temporary and imperfect life, but we have the opportunity to receive from God— His eternal perfect incorruptible life (divine life). We can receive this perfect life only by being “born again” (John 3:3-8), i.e. To do this, you need to be born of God, becoming His child. Every person who believes in Jesus Christ as God revealed in the flesh and died for our sins on the cross receives forgiveness of sins, finds God as his Father and receives the gift of ETERNAL DIVINE LIFE (Rom. 6:23). There is NO other way to receive this gift. Whether you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ or not will determine where you will spend eternity: in the presence of God in the New Jerusalem or in the lake of fire. For this choice we are given human life.
