Question: If darkness covers everyone, is it better not to listen to your music, watch movies, or touch your clothes or objects to avoid desecrating them since they won’t help in that moment? Is there any point in making a separate plan for a cycle of darkness, such as wearing specific clothes only when you feel bad or creating a list of actions to get through the cycle? This isn’t just about a bad mood in the morning but a significant transformation lasting an indefinite period.

On the contrary, you should not change anything. The idea that if darkness comes, you should start doing something differently is a mistake. If you think, “Since it’s not working, I’ll turn off the music”, you might be taking a step further into the darkness. You should continue doing what brings you joy and comfort without altering your routine. Changing things in response to darkness can only make it worse. On the contrary, you shouldn’t fuss about it. If you were drinking the same tea, and regardless of whether you fall in love, feel like the main God, or experience fear or anger, you should continue drinking that same tea. If you start changing the tea because of the influence of these forces, whether light or dark, it’s all manipulation. By changing the tea under this manipulation, you’re tightening the noose around your neck. You’re digging yourself in even deeper. It’s important to understand this logic. So, don’t do anything extra in either direction. Anything that seems like it should be done differently because it feels right, but you didn’t do it before and now you’re doing it because something is happening – this is where you fall under influence. Do you understand?

Okay, let me give you another example to further explain how not to fall under the manipulation of darkness or light, or any manipulation at all. Imagine darkness has overtaken you. You’re in horror, fear, or anger. What thoughts might come to mind? Maybe you think you should go to a temple. Or you might think that maybe exercising could help. These are examples of such thoughts. Or, you might think that since everything is so bad, maybe you should stop drinking tea, go on a diet, and just drink water instead. When you start doing these things, you’ve fallen into the trap. Do you catch my message? People are foolish and they think that since what I’ve listed sounds good, it must be good. Why am I calling it bad? People with a primitive mindset think this way. What I’m conveying is that if you’ve fallen under the influence of darkness, then you’re already under it and you’re falling further by coming up with these so-called rescue actions. And why is that? Because when you weren’t under the influence of darkness the past week, you didn’t do any of these things. You didn’t go to church,
