those moments to reconnect with them through pictures. Perhaps old diaries could help. For those who haven’t yet fallen into darkness, if you do so in the future, a diary will save you. This is motivation to start writing a diary from today if you haven’t been keeping one. Although I have been recommending it in all my books for over 10 years. A diary helps. For those without a diary and who have been in darkness for a long time, and who did not keep a diary while in the light, it is harder. At least photographs might remain. Nostalgia for the old light can help.
Connecting to darkness is a thousand times easier now than it used to be. The boy that Big Alexander talked about, who is idle and lazy, I am sure he got connected to it either because of bad habits, some kind of indulgences, alcohol, or maybe because of prohibited substances that neither he nor his relatives talk about. And probably because of social networks, because there are so many dark people there, and they are increasing. Just by looking at and listening to these people, one can already let dark forces into oneself. Therefore, I approach carefully to what movies I watch, what music I listen to, and I do not use social networks. This is very important.
Question: Is it correct to say that having a well-disciplined mind is the only way to avoid or escape from a bad universe, or are there other factors involved?
You understand correctly. Seriously, if it weren’t for my strong mind, I wouldn’t have managed. Let me explain. Imagine, for example, there is a person, let’s call him Vasya, with whom I am friends or work with. This is a fictional story, but it will give you a clear example. Imagine that I interact with Vasya every day for a year. However, day after day, I still recall and reflect on how I felt in June, how I felt in May, in April, in March, in February, in January. I am aware of how I felt a year ago, what my thoughts and desires were then compared to now, what I preferred back then, what has changed, and what has remained the same. I also reflect on how I felt 5 years ago and 10 years ago. Even situations where people in certain companies or groups had conflicts, or when there were incidents – I remember five bad incidents over the year, and five good ones. I clearly differentiate and remember the reasons. But the most interesting thing is that those people and Vasya do not see it this way. For them, the past year seems like a fog. They cannot look back and see the past year clearly. They do not remember all the emergencies that happened to them. They do not remember all the good
