I can, but that I want to. And I don’t want any sweets or anything else. These are different worlds, and I’m jumping between them for now. In the future, I may just stay in one world – if that’s possible. That’s my theory or assumption. Where whatever is allowed, I’ll do it. You see, these are different worlds, and what you do keeps you on a certain rhythm. So when I forbid myself, it’s to exit that world and move into another with different conditions. When I need to return to the other world, I allow myself those things again. Here’s an example: If I’m working on something, researching, and I need to be in a certain “cosmos”, I don’t talk to anyone, I don’t sit on social media, I don’t watch YouTube, and I don’t drink or eat anything. I’ll just eat bread with water, metaphorically speaking. That’s one rhythm, and the perception of time and space is different, and I’m working on something there. But if I need to interact with my colleagues or project partners, I immediately shift, and to stay grounded in that world, I need to eat differently or more. I might need to quickly eat something sweet or have a glass of whiskey to fix myself there. That’s how it works, or at least how it used to work. Now, as I gradually complete my tasks in these “rough” worlds, with “heavy” vibrations, I’m transitioning more and more to a spiritual rhythm. And to make that transition, self-denial is necessary. It means letting go of the things that pull me back into lower vibrations. It’s not a big list, but essentially, it boils down to reducing communication with two people I talk to about business. I just need to block them and only check in with them once a month, asking if everything’s okay. And, of course, simplifying my diet. Over time, transitioning to a cleaner diet without tea or sweets. There are many factors, and I don’t want to go into too much detail now. Self-denial is about not watching movies all day. You see, a person tends to replace one thing with another. Seriously. When someone gives something up, they shift their focus to something else. Some people get into video games, then catch themselves thinking, “Oh! Now I’m stuck here, my attention is occupied again.” They quit gaming, start watching movies, quit movies, start listening to music, quit that, and then what? They want to occupy themselves with something else. They start doing exercises or sports. Sure, it’s good to watch a movie, play a game, or even exercise, but when it’s an hour a day, and better yet, every other day. But when it’s five to ten hours every day, it means you’re transferring your psychological state, the comfort zone you created, to something else. The goal is to have free attention, not something that’s constantly occupied. Of course, you should do tasks when you have them, do exercises, study, or watch a show, but you don’t need to sit in front of the TV all day.
