changes, and the matrix within you starts to grow. This is a powerful, profound development. But it’s more subtle than intellectual – it’s not about memorizing words or formulas. We’re simply reading a story, right? But it’s the depth hidden within that story – just like in any good tale – that touches something in your soul, stirring an inner response. As a result, you no longer feel like doing many of the negative things you used to, and you start valuing things differently.

Question: Is it correct to say that when a person realizes that they are “zero” and are not attached to any world, this is the state of liberation, the exit from the illusion of Maya?

Yes, that’s correct. But, you see, these concepts can be described with different words. How do I know what you truly mean by these terms? I might use the same words you do. So, what is the illusion of Maya? It’s when, for example, you’re upset with your parents, miss them, or feel ashamed of them. Or when you envy a friend. All these daily human illusions are nonsense, but they are the illusion. Imagine this: if you truly understand where you live and how the system is structured, you would realize how trivial all this is – whether it’s about Mary, Nastya, Boris, Svetlana, or Peter. Why do you need these people? Think about it. Maybe someone didn’t return a comb to you, and you’re upset over it. Isn’t that foolish? You’re the one losing in that situation. You’ll always be surrounded by people who don’t return things or make promises they don’t keep. Your task is to recognize this and not be affected. You must understand that people are like this. Now, you must also realize that the world built on concepts like having a fancy car or a 100-square-meter apartment with a spouse and kids is collapsing. That idea is losing its value. You used to feel inferior if you didn’t have these things. You’d think, “I’m a failure because I don’t have what they do.” But imagine – how cruel is that world? It’s all just illusions, mere words. And yet, these illusions creep into your head and make you feel incomplete or unsuccessful, giving birth to insecurities and fears. Look at brilliant people like Van Gogh – watch a film about him. Was he ever focused on having a car, an apartment, or an education? No, he just painted and wanted to be left alone. Did he have the goal of starting a family or having children by a certain age? No. Who imposed this nonsense on you? A happy person is someone who isn’t influenced by these illusions, someone who doesn’t fall into the old system. But remember, there is something new. You can’t just exit one system and go into nothingness. When you leave
