Walking through the evening forest, which by now had taken on a magical, almost fairy-tale quality, Someone reflected on all the words he had heard from the Spirit... He agreed with much of it, though not all, when suddenly, out of the mist, a massive rock emerged before him. A little to the left was the entrance to a cave, from which a soft yellow light shone.

ДУХ - Ви шукаєте нове, нехтуючи не зрозуміле старе. Ви створили Богів по міркам вашим і не розумієте, що Боги ваші не сильніші вас, бо це творіння ваше. Забули, що Він створив Вас за подобою своєю, а не Ви Його. Сліпці! Шукаєте подібних собі.. Несхожих - инородно вам, не замічаєте. І якщо ви всі - пуп Всесвіту, - не побачите інший. І чи багато бачить пуп ваш? Скажете, несете хрест свій. Вдивіться, чи не ті дрова, що спалять світ Ваш? Чи не ті скрепи, що розіп'яли Христа? Чи не той яд, що закрив очі Будди? Чи не ті слова, що заважали почути сури? Може ноша Ваша - лише колода для колісниці Рамакрішни? Бог створив Вас! Ви створили пекло і всю його рать. Ви - воїни тієї раті. Так, Ви великі! Але вся велич - у брехні Вашій. Ви - любов, що вросла в плоть. Ви - страждання, під маскою солодострастя. Але ви і меч. Могутня гострота його! Чиї руки володіють ним? Що принесуть вони? Горе, щастя? Ні, Ви - не перші, але й не шості. Ви - не останні. Ви опора інших, і Вам вирішувати, бути Вам "дорогою" чи "верстовим стовпом". Ви вільні - убиватися, народитися. Ви вибираєте ворота в рай чи в пекло. В тому немає Божої волі, то вина Ваша, не більше. Бо глухі Ви - не чуєте. Ви - сіль Землі, але і черв'як, який пожирає її. Ви - жар Всесвіту ... але холодним буває той жар. Ви - життя, але летите на крилах смерті. Ви - лотос, але й болото, топляче його. Ви - вісь колеса. На плечах Ваших хрест, що клином для багатьох. Ви - цар над блазнем. Але, частіше, блазень - відображення у розбитому дзеркалі. Ви скажете - релігійні. Немає серед Нас Ваших релігій! Немає Богів, вами вигаданих. Немає єретиків, бо не створені мірки. Можна жити НЕ зневажаючи, і всюди буде Бог! Ви скажете - "Похмурий надією почутим бути". Пророки приходять надією - вбиваєте їх і народжуєте "любов"! Не почуті будемо - посіємо насіння розбрату ... Бо в битвах міцні і правдиві! Бо розбуджений звір - розумніший. Скажете: «Спокійно зі сплячим». Так! Але прийде пробудження і краще.....

Ми кричимо, Ви - не чуєте. Ми приходимо - Снами, Осяянням, Любов'ю, Талантом і Гнівом! Але то, лише миті прозрінь, бо не можемо розбудити вас. Ви запитаєте - добро чи, зло несемо? Якщо панує зло над Вами, - злом прийдемо. Добро несете - добром! Ми - Сила, але слабкі розуми в руках ваших, тому що не господарями приходимо, але і не гості ваші. Так, Ви - незначні, бо пізнали Велич. Так, Ви - дурні, бо пізнали геніїв! Так, Ви - сліпі, бо бачили. Так, Ви - глухі, бо чули уста свої! Так, Ви шукаєте, бо втрачаєте. Ви - сіль Землі. Але не будьте нею на ранах наших! Ми втомилися від Вас - але любимо ... Скоро ... скоро ... прийде Новий час, інше життя, але не будьте сліпим - побачте! Знайдіть! Входьте!

SOMEONE — And if I ask you not to "nod" along with me... What would that look like? SPIRIT — "NOTHING"! You simply won’t exist! Understand... It’s not you who owns the World — the World owns you.

SPIRIT - That’s the nature of your dual world — real and unreal, mine and theirs… Whatever you choose is the right choice.

SOMEONE - Ahh... I really do know, I remembered!.. You already explained it to me... Here, I can remember... this is my distorted consciousness – Ouroboros – that's what they call it in the World. SPIRIT - And how do you like the training simulation? SOMEONE - Training simulation??? That was just a training??? SPIRIT - Entering such a game without preparation... you know... SOMEONE - Cool! However... I even started losing my mark, which is unthinkable! This is something incredible! Everything feels so realistic – my home, parents, wife, children, friends, work! I still can't believe it was just a simulation! Now I realize how amazing this game is!.. and how hard it is to get through it to the end! I mean, how powerful you have to be to correct the distortion of that colossal energy! Damn – it's breathtaking!!! And that was just a training simulation???!!! SPIRIT - Exactly. SOMEONE - And what kind of MAGICIAN created this Game? $fadeIn[[Continue.. |option 3.9.2]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/6f0ea8_a887b6569f604058a40fcbc372a426b2.wav" autoplay loop>

SPIRIT - Fear... One of the strongest emotions... Fear paralyzes. And did you know that fear can only exist in the future? Fear is just a concept of your thoughts about what MIGHT happen somewhere later... Or it might not happen at all. - Pay attention, you are essentially immortal, but your consciousness panics at the thought of something new and unknown... so, something new and unknown to consciousness is a deadly challenge! SOMEONE - Is it really that simple? I thought everything was much more complicated... SPIRIT - Let's put it this way — complexity is in simplicity. $fadeIn[[Continue.. |option 3.10.2]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/6f0ea8_226a8af30bc0408aaa359dcd5a4d963a.wav" autoplay loop>

SOMEONE - I see. And what were those shadows near me? SPIRIT - They will guide you back to the cave. Sorry, but there are no other options for you here... Two shapeless black shadows gently, yet firmly, took him by the arms and led him back to the cave. A soft light from the portal illuminated the entrance to the cave.

SOMEONE - What is this creature, in whose eye I’m standing? SPIRIT - This is your distorted consciousness... The material world distorts it for everyone. SOMEONE - And why is it biting its own tail? SPIRIT - And that’s the essence of the distortion of human consciousness... It always wants to grab a piece, and the bigger, the better... even though that piece might be part of itself. As people say, "Nothing sacred..." - Momentary pleasure from possession, then deep disappointment when it realizes it can never truly swallow that piece... - A sad sight — this creature, as you put it, on a deep level KNOWS that the piece is actually itself, but on the surface refuses to accept it and will never open its jaws... and will not LET GO... And so, it keeps going in circles... $fadeIn[[Continue..|option 3.8.2]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/6f0ea8_a887b6569f604058a40fcbc372a426b2.wav" autoplay loop>

SOMEONE - So, the cause of all this is the consciousness that serves the material body? SPIRIT - Consciousness, among other functions, is responsible for protecting the physical body and taking care of it — feeding it, keeping it warm, ensuring reproduction, defending it from predators, other people, insects, viruses... When several such needs clash and try to determine which is more important, the classic dilemma arises: "fight or flee." $fadeIn[[Continue..|option 3.8.3]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/6f0ea8_a887b6569f604058a40fcbc372a426b2.wav" autoplay loop>

SOMEONE And how do I fix this distortion? SPIRIT FAITH... Believe in yourself! First and foremost — YOURSELF! Believe only in yourself! Your TRUE "I." And then, you won’t need me anymore... Think about it, your consciousness doesn’t believe in much of what faith brings. FAITH is the FORCE that makes consciousness stop… look around, and listen. And the stronger the FAITH, the more your consciousness will hear... $fadeIn[[Continue..|option 3.8.4]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/6f0ea8_a887b6569f604058a40fcbc372a426b2.wav" autoplay loop>

SOMEONE - But is there anyone in the material world who realized they had trapped themselves and then LET GO? SPIRIT - Not many... But eventually, everyone will come to that realization — some sooner, some later, and for a few, a single moment was enough. - Most people spend the greater part of their lives fulfilling needs in one form or another. There is simply no other choice... - But if you BELIEVE, truly BELIEVE, that those needs will be met — by your own effort, the care of loved ones, or even the state… today, tomorrow, next week, and for the rest of your life — then you are standing at the very peak of humanity’s pyramid. You belong to that one - millionth fraction of the Earth’s population… - You see how simple, yet how difficult, it all is? - Those who have achieved this — imagine the immense energy they have learned to control, in a world that is entirely distorted by it! $fadeIn[[Continue..|option 3.8.5]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/6f0ea8_a887b6569f604058a40fcbc372a426b2.wav" autoplay loop>

SOMEONE – So, is this the true LOVE that everyone talks about and searches for? SPIRIT – You could say that, but it would be crude… It’s just a small piece of the whole picture. SOMEONE – So, those who succeed are the graduates of this school? SPIRIT – Yes… that too. SOMEONE – And what do they do after leaving the game? $fadeIn[[Continue..|option 3.8.6]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/6f0ea8_a887b6569f604058a40fcbc372a426b2.wav" autoplay loop>

SPIRIT – Some move forward, while others return. SOMEONE – Return???... But they’ve already completed the game... SPIRIT – They have... THAT is why they return — to HELP others...

SOMEONE – Another catch? What is it this time? SPIRIT – When you return to the game, you will forget everything that has happened to you until now… SOMEONE – Forget everything? But how will I then…?

SOMEONE – Can I refuse? $fadeIn[[Continue..|option 3.8.9]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/6f0ea8_a887b6569f604058a40fcbc372a426b2.wav" autoplay loop>

SPIRIT – Unfortunately, no… You don’t remember, but you once asked never to be taken out of the GREAT GAME until you complete it. Otherwise, you’d never truly learn.

I am not talking about your biological cells, I am not talking about your brain. - You came and forgot that you had already come. You gave birth to POWER and forgot about it.

I don’t understand what you’re talking about. SPIRIT – I’m talking about the fact that you once again feel like an outsider at this celebration of life… SOMEONE – Ah, about that… Well, a little… SPIRIT – So what’s troubling you?

SOMEONE – And now, I don’t want to deceive, or be cunning… to be fake, or live for show… Now I can see right through everyone — their complexes and their walls… what they live for, what values and beliefs they operate on.

SOMEONE - Only by example...God forbid you force others to change - it will be violence...and no one has the right to change others without changing themselves...It was well said - about the speck in the eye of your neighbor... - Only by your own example...to think and act the way you want others to act or not to act...For example, if you don't want terrorists in your life, stop being a terrorist for your children and relatives...stop telling your child that if you don't do this, you won't get that. ...and so on in everything... - People wonder why there are so many manipulators around them, whether it's the government manipulating them, or their spouse, or at work, and even children have learned this "wisdom" very well...How else, they all had great teachers. And when I see someone digging and counting the specks in the eye of his neighbor... I understand that this is just a defense mechanism of his consciousness... consciousness... it is so arranged, it is like a server that gives a constant request and, having received the answer, begins to compare with its database... and all for the sake of adaptation and survival... for consciousness, the main thing is control... control over everything and everyone... Therefore, it is very difficult for a person to pay attention to himself - firstly, he will lose control, and secondly, it will turn out that the consciousness, as the one controlling everything and ruling over life, has done a lot of mistakes in the course of the same life, and this is not acceptable for it to the highest degree... therefore, it diverts and steals attention from itself to others - it is better to dig in whomever you want, but not in yourself $fadeIn[[Continue.. |option 2.8]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/6f0ea8_15146891598b4e3eaf3170d4b98f596d.wav" autoplay loop>

SPIRIT – You know, there's a saying in your world—"a named enemy weakens by half." From all your thoughts, I can say only one thing — BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, IN YOUR HEART… act according to this belief, no matter how illogical or unreasonable that impulse may seem at times… the impulse of the soul... And then, the influence of others on you will decrease, and over time, the opinions of others will no longer bother you. SOMEONE – Yes, that's all true, but the real difficulty lies in learning to distinguish between the impulse of the soul and the impulse of the mind...
