Chapter 2. The Depth of Illusions

It’s curious that while working on the third volume of “Alternative History”, I noticed that the main focus of the book is on how a person gets lost in illusions, and how they can escape from them. And now, I can draw conclusions, comparing it with Hinduism, which I am currently studying, especially the story of Kalki. Because they talk about the same thing there. This resonates with me even more. As long as a person is unconscious, as long as they cannot live independently, everything happens to them unconsciously due to illusions. For example, they fall in love, and because of that, they want to work, or they get sick and need money, so they want to work, or they are in debt and want to work because of that. But in reality, the system doesn’t want them to work; it just wants them to at least leave the house, to move around a bit. People who cannot voluntarily take care of their health, people who cannot voluntarily engage in hard work – such people are given problems in life. Only then do they realize this and begin to voluntarily lead a proper lifestyle. And voluntarily, without illusions, without any reasons, without the carrot and the stick, they can, as I used to call it, maintain their high level of efficiency, their brain will work at the correct pace, they will always be alert, always on guard, in the present moment, not lost in some dreamy fog. If a person is like that, why would the system need to bother them? But when a person isn’t like that, the system does interfere. This is one of the reasons why people encounter problems in life. The second reason is that a person drowns in illusions. When they meet someone, or watch a movie, or travel to a new country, or even just get engrossed in my book, they start to experience certain emotions, which is not a bad thing. But that’s enough. A person cannot stop at just feeling. They feel it, and then what? They rush headlong into action, doing things, canceling things, giving things up, or grasping at new things. And as long as a person can’t control themselves and gets easily swayed by all these false emotions, the system will keep hitting them. I can also draw an analogy with virtual reality. Naturally, if you watch a movie like “We Bought a Zoo”, it’s entirely possible that if your life isn’t like in the movie, and if you get deeply involved in the film, you’ll feel emotions and want to do what? Maybe quit your soccer team, your construction project, or wherever your focus has been for the past months or years. And then you’ll want to throw it all away because you now desire a team and a family that builds a zoo. But after a day, or maybe a month, you’ll snap out of these illusions and realize
