Editing Ashram Shambala (section)

==="The Way of the Fool"===
The teachings were set forth in "The Way of the Fool", a book by Rudnev, in which he urged to abandon the traditional way of life.<ref name="multiple" />

Recollection of a former adept of the group about his impressions of the book "The Way of the Fool" and about the website of the same name, which the "priestess of love" Anastasia (Nastya) advised him to visit:<ref>[https://www.nsk.kp.ru/daily/26510/3379159/ Дневник бежавшего из секс-секты «Ашрам Шамбалы»: Мы танцевали с бубном в лесу и спасали мир от потопа. Комсомольская правда.] March 29, 2016</ref>

It all started with a recommendation to visit a site called "The Way of the Fool": "for spiritual development". But I immediately felt bad from its design: half-naked girls, strange words. Nastya also advised to read Rudnev's book, The Way of the Fool. I began to read it, but I was not able to overpower this nonsense, for I had never seen such an abomination in my life. Not only that, almost after every word were [[Mat (Russian profanity)|obscene words]], there was no general sense. Diary of a Madman. In short, I came to the site and left it, I opened the book and closed it, without delving into the content.{{citation needed|date=August 2019}}

''I shared my impressions with Nastya. She laughed in response and said that this was done specifically to scare away "social mice", that is, ordinary people who were not given the understanding of the wisdom of Shambala.''{{citation needed|date=August 2019}}
