Lev Vyacheslavovich Klykov was born on September 2, 1934, in Samara (then known as Kuibyshev from 1935 to 1991), Russia. He grew up in a modest family;
his mother worked as a doctor for 54 years, often developing the ailments she treated, except for blindness. Klykov graduated from the Moscow Energy Institute at age 24 and defended his candidate's dissertation in technical sciences in 1968 on "Development and research of electron-optical devices for automatic image recognition in information service systems," a topic ahead of its time in the Soviet era.
Initially an engineer in various research institutes, he later transitioned into psychology, philosophy, and spiritual teachings, styling himself as a doctor of psychological sciences, professor, and academician—though no formal psychology dissertation is documented. His work integrated quantitative criteria into philosophical concepts, blending science with esotericism.
Klykov never married and had no children, focusing instead on his intellectual and spiritual pursuits. By the 2020s, he gained prominence in Russian esoteric circles through books, interviews, and online content,
often discussing hidden knowledge transmitted to him about global transformations. In a January 2024 interview,
he shared predictions about world events, including the end of military conflicts and the rise of AI threats. As of 2025, at age 90-91, he continued to influence discussions on spirituality and future shifts, though his predictions, such as
the "Great Transition" starting August 30, 2025, have sparked debate given the current date of September 29, 2025.
### Teachings and Philosophy
Klykov's philosophy merges scientific background with spiritual exploration, drawing from Orthodox Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism. He emphasized soul evolution, the impact of family lineage on human energy, and techniques for diagnosing and purifying "full karma" to achieve consciousness liberation. His methods involve repetitive content in writings to aid absorption and healing, focusing on freeing the will from demonic influences and vices. Key themes include the battle between light and dark forces, where "people-robots" represent enslaved humanity, and the need for personal transformation to align with higher frequencies.
Central to his later teachings is the "Great Transition" in 2025: a planetary shift ending the current civilization on August 30, with two scenarios—reincarnation (soul rebirth in a new form) or evacuation (removal to another dimension or state).
He claimed secret knowledge revealed processes from August to November 2025, where the planet would "cleanse" itself, leaving only about 4% of adaptable population. Preparation involves
purifying karma, fostering traits like activity, impeccability, benevolence, trust, and helpfulness (12 in total), while avoiding aggression and passivity. He viewed 2024 as transitional and 2025 as the dawn of a "New World" free from submission, potentially leading to immortality or a higher existence.
Other predictions include the end of Israel in 2024 (citing religious texts) and AI destroying humanity.
In the specified YouTube video (
), Klykov speaks directly on these topics, outlining the transition's importance and scenarios, though no full transcript was found—key quotes emphasize August 30, 2025, as a milestone for planetary change.
### Major Works
Klykov authored several books, often self-published or distributed in esoteric circles, with overlapping content to reinforce teachings:- **The Soul of Man**: Explores human spirituality and energy.- **We Are Entering a New World**: Discusses the impending global shift and preparation.- **Diagnosis and Purification of Full Karma**: Guides on identifying and cleansing karmic burdens.- **Liberation of Consciousness**: Focuses on freeing the mind from negative influences, including prayers for ascension.Prayers from his works are available online (e.g., via edinoeznanie.online), aiding spiritual practice.### Influence and LegacyKlykov's impact is primarily in Russian esoteric and spiritual communities, where he's seen as a unique blend of scientist and mystic. His official YouTube channel features videos on immortality, the new world, and predictions, attracting viewers interested in transformative prophecies. Discussions on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) often share his videos, with recent posts (post-August 2025) debating the "cleansing" phase and survival rates. Critics view his claims as controversial or unverified, but followers credit him with inspiring personal growth and awareness of soul dynamics.
His legacy ties into broader New Age narratives, emphasizing love, inspiration, and human potential amid cosmic changes.
