This attention of yours has a rhythm. Imagine you are just a toxic green gas – this is your attention. You are like a ghost, like the toxic green gas depicted in cartoons. And you are this floating cloud. Now, wherever your focus is, that’s where your cloud goes. If you focus on a book on the table, the cloud, with all its attention, moves there. The cloud’s rays fly toward the book, illuminating its pages. But then, if you suddenly think about your friend, the cloud gets sucked away, like someone turning on an extractor fan in a distant corner, pulling your green cloud toward it. You are no longer fully immersed in the book; you are holding onto it, but your green smoky legs are already stretching toward the top right corner because the extractor fan is on and pulling you there. Why is it pulling you? Because you started thinking about Maxim, Masha, or someone else. That’s how it works. But this cloud still has a kind of density, range, vibration, or whatever you want to call it – numbers like “1, 2, 7, 4.” And this cloud “1, 2, 7, 4” represents your more or less constant state for today: “1, 2, 7, 4.” Naturally, when you do something – eat, drink, work, rest, go somewhere, or stay put – you do it according to the sensations of your “want.” Thus, “1, 2, 7, 4” is the comfort zone of your cloud, your attention. And you try to keep this cloud in a stable position. You don’t want to engage in activities that would cause the cloud’s rhythm to either drop or rise. You don’t want that. This is a current problem in society. You don’t want things to be that way. And this is how most people live. If you were free, your cloud would change its rhythm every day, a hundred times a day. That would be a truly living, unrestrained cloud. But people, they all have their clouds on certain rhythms, each person with their own rhythm, and they cling to it. As I gave the example, if a person is forbidden to drink coffee, they will end up drinking five cups of tea instead, to maintain the same rhythm, to stay within their comfort zone. That’s how it works. And when I write, “Don’t do these five things”, and your rhythms will increase, it feels uncomfortable because your cloud starts to dissolve or transform, something starts to happen with it, and that scares you. You end up falling back into your old habits, doing something that reinforces the density of your habitual rhythm, your “1, 2, 4, 7.” Do you understand? This is the problem. And that’s how everyone lives. All the employees are in such a rhythm with me. Well, you see, apart from the employees, I have no one else.
And it turns out that every person still has, if... Let’s not forget that there’s a certain percentage of people who, no matter what, the system doesn’t let them stay in the same rhythm. The system itself continually throws them into
