dates here were significant for those from there. But we don’t see it yet because it will happen there, later.

Question: How is it that with all your financial, intellectual, and other abilities, you remain so humble, simple, and highly productive? It seems like, in your position, you could afford to relax and enjoy everything, yet you remain incredibly modest in all things. How can I kill my ego and constant desires for things I don’t have? I understand that I have fewer bad qualities than before, but your humility seems like an ideal, almost unattainable. Can you give more advice?

It’s a mix of fear and faith. You see, I know what happens if I break the rules. That’s all. People seem to live in this blind zone where they do something foolish and then face difficulties, but they think it’s all just coincidence. They’re like little piglets in the mud, all rubbing against each other, unaware. There’s not yet that level of awareness where one of those piglets steps out, looks at the others, and realizes, “I can just leave the mud. I don’t need to rub against anyone.” That’s it. There’s a vast territory out there to explore, but people don’t even think of that. Again, it’s because they’re at a stage of unconscious development, living on autopilot. But everyone is where they’re supposed to be. Why, for example... A person who isn’t afraid of God or the system isn’t necessarily fearless, while I’m a coward. It’s just that this person doesn’t yet understand what God and the system really are, and what can happen to them. But I understand it perfectly, and that’s why I’m afraid. Very much so. You ask how I, with my knowledge and abilities, live so modestly – it’s because I have no other choice. I’ve tried it, seriously – I’ve tried it. And it’s scary. Something happens immediately. The moment you think about doing something out of line, like taking a trip, you get in a cab, and suddenly a truck hits it. You get out and say, “I understand, I’ll go back home to write my book.” It happens like that – instantly, the system slaps you on the wrist, and you’re right back at your desk, writing. That’s how it works. I have no choice. It’s like I have a collar around my neck that shocks me if I bark. So you wonder how I don’t bark? Well, it hurts. I get shocked when I do. You don’t have that collar. You’re not being trained like I am. So, I wouldn’t say I’m unique in this regard. Of course, I’ve made many observations, learned many lessons – what’s right, what’s wrong, what’s allowed, what’s not, what triggers a reaction and what doesn’t. And that, yes, I do know. I can tell you, for instance, what’s going on with you. In your case, as you described, you still
