I reacted – these deep moments provide the reader with crazy discoveries, these are, you know, the keys. And going back to the question when the friend called the Mystic-Old-Man, the friend expected... well, not exactly expected... Let’s not call him a colleague but a friend. I’ve often been a witness to the fact that there’s a friend who’s clear and pure, with no money, nothing, just a simple guy who’s always ready to help, answers the phone anytime, comes anytime, always accompanies you in everything: “Want to go fishing?” – “Let’s go.” Imagine that I have such a friend. And it’s strange that before, I had many such friends, and they never disappeared. But lately, such friends have become fewer and fewer, but not because I’ve changed, not because we’ve gotten older. No. But because I’ve started noticing, and I feel this energy, like a smell, it’s felt from people, that this person, who was with you, connected to you, is no longer there. I just woke up one day and felt that the friend wasn’t there. I used to feel him, but now it’s as if he’s somewhere else. It’s like how mothers feel their children. I feel he’s somewhere. I text him, he doesn’t answer, though he used to answer. I think, “Strange.” Then he replied after an hour. You ask him: “Where were you?” or “Why didn’t you answer?” – and he says everything is fine but doesn’t tell you anything. And you also think, strange, because your friend used to tell you everything, but now he’s not saying anything, staying silent, hiding something, disappearing somewhere. And the longer I notice that he doesn’t communicate with me, the more I feel he’s being sucked somewhere. And then it turns out that it’s these social networks and the people around them, who suddenly, many of them now, impose acquaintanceship, friendship, who are under the influence of this society – and they whisper here and there, and he watches bloggers, spends time on social media, and connects to this snake, to this society. As a result, he immediately loses his soul, so to speak, disconnects from his individuality, from awareness, from nature, from God, he disconnects from all of this. And I’m connected to God, and he’s disconnected from Him. And I see that this person is somewhat inattentive, with thoughts that he doesn’t look right, that he wants to do something with his face, that he starts thinking he’s unsuccessful and must become successful – such thoughts start to arise. But he says it almost indirectly, because he feels that I’m from a different world, and it’s like he’s discussing this with other people, not telling me,
