Question: In one of your responses, you discussed how one person’s matrix influences another. You gave an example in the book where it is important to ask a person about their past relationships – not just the superficial details but the underlying patterns. For instance, if someone has been cheated on or had their money stolen, when entering into a relationship with such a person, the other might start behaving similarly to the person’s previous partners. You mentioned in the book that you hadn’t yet figured out who is the dominant one in this dynamic. Have you now discovered how the matrix of one person affects another? Who is dominant? What does it depend on?

It all depends primarily on power – who is stronger. And it also depends on who stands their ground and who yields. Power, persistence, and who bends and who yields. But there’s another case, a personal one that I’ve encountered: there are people who don’t succumb to any influence, and they are often proud of this. But they resist influence not because they are exceptionally strong, but because they exist in one specific world, namely the world of the mind, where they remain strictly on their own frequency, let’s say 5. They are not given the ability to see any other worlds. They don’t know any other worlds at all. They are confined within their own limited world, and that’s it. These are people who are closed off, conservative. They only see things from their own narrow perspective. They don’t even seem to have mood swings, because mood swings are changes in perception angles, you understand? And such people exist. No matter how long you spend with them or how much you try to show them something, to guide them, you’ll always feel as if you’ve fallen under their influence rather than they under yours. I now recall that this was true. If I met up with a friend and walked around St. Petersburg, trying to show them a museum, a church, or some exhibits, I would actually feel my own faith in these things fade, because I could sense their disbelief just by being around them. I felt more of his conservative, stifled desire to follow the navigation and quickly find something to eat. It was as if I could sense him plugging into his system. Being around such people was difficult for me because it felt like the entire colorful world – full of magic, dreams, and belief in miracles – would begin to fade whenever I was with this person, even if we weren’t discussing these topics at all. It just happens naturally; you feel something within yourself dim. And there are such people. You could call them dampeners. It’s not their fault, but they truly are dampeners. They’re simply at a certain stage of development. We’ve all gone through this stage. And with such people, you’ll always feel dulled. However, when you
