This is, of course, a fictional example — everything is fine with my parents, meaning we have no conflicts, they are very good, and I love them very much. But let’s suppose I was in the underworld or in some dimension of the multiverse where my parents misbehave, the readers misbehave, the staff misbehave, and I am also somehow not myself. And then suddenly — bam — I wake up, and I have happiness, clarity, kindness, love. And suddenly my parents have become kind, and the staff have become kind, and the readers have become kind. Do you think it’s that my parents and readers have become kind? No. I changed, and everything projected around me changed. Further, if you start reasoning on this topic like a scientist, your head will start to hurt. Because then you realize — what parents? There are no parents. Where are your parents? Who are your parents? How is all of this arranged? It’s simply, it turns out, some kind of projection. And where did those parents who were unkind go? Where did they disappear to when you ended up in the kind world? Do you think they stayed there? No. They came here. And how did they come here? You came here, and that’s it, and you see. And at this point I realize and suddenly remember the first time in childhood when I heard a voice speaking to me, and it told me that I am an angel, not a human, that I came here not to live but to work. It told me then that all my surroundings, all my friends and relatives — this is just a backdrop. Not even a backdrop, it called them more precisely “circumstances,” simply circumstances. This is very interesting. Let me give another example. There was Michael Jackson, and in our linear time, as we think of it, he died. But in reality, he died only for someone — in whose mind we are living — and for all of us, because we are all the continuation of some person or God, he, in our eyes, in the world we live in, died. But imagine there is another, entirely parallel reality where he did not die but is still alive and old. But how can that be? And in that world, we are also there, but we will never meet that version of ourselves — it’s impossible. Somewhere there is a version where we are the main one, and there are also simply autopilots, like choice options in computer games. After all, when you play a computer game and it has multiple scripted scenarios for the ending, when you choose one out of five options — say, the fifth — do you think that in parallel the first, second, third, and fourth endings are happening?
