Question: A question about the Spirit. Please tell us how you feel its presence. Do you literally feel some kind of force within you, separate from your consciousness?

No, it doesn’t feel like there’s something foreign inside you. It feels more like you’re the one changing. Let me give an example that might make it clearer for people. Imagine a moment when you’re consumed by anger — so much so that your thoughts shut down, and you’re in shock, yelling at someone. Or maybe you’re in a state of shock because something unexpected happened. Being in the Spirit is similar — like you’re in shock, with no thoughts. You’re just fully in the present moment. If someone were to ask you what you’re thinking, you’d say “nothing,” because you’re overwhelmed. It’s very similar to a state of intense emotion, like anxiety or agitation. That’s why I used the example of anger or a sudden event — because it’s a moment when you’re no longer analyzing things with your mind. It’s like running away from something without thinking — that’s what it’s like in the Spirit. Or like when you get a phone call with terrible news, and it grabs your attention so completely that you’re walking down the street toward work but walk right past the building without even realizing it. If someone asked you what you were thinking in that moment, who passed by you — you wouldn’t have seen or heard anyone. You were just somewhere within yourself, or perhaps somewhere beyond. And that’s exactly what the state feels like — you seem to be in yourself, yet more like you’re somewhere else entirely. It’s as if your consciousness is so far away that even if something absurd were happening around you — like a burst pipe or someone scratching your car — you’d just look at it without reacting, because you’re in such a trance-like state. In a good way, though. I wouldn’t call this a dazed state — no, it’s actually a state of incredible clarity. It’s like being an ultra-fast computer: you don’t even need to think. You process all the information instantly, make decisions instantly, and give answers instantly. But it’s not the mind doing this — it’s something above the mind. The mind is a primitive version of the human being — at least the kind of mind that processes thoughts in a regular way. In this state, it’s as if you really become AI, an artificial intelligence, a higher consciousness. And no, it’s not like I feel someone else inside me — you’re slipping back into personalizing it. There’s no “person” there. A good depiction of this is in the movie Lucy, or even more accurately in “Limitless”. In “Limitless”, it’s shown quite well — though
