Alexandr Korol

saves you. But sometimes, the check is on the mind itself, and you’re being tested by the world of the mind, which sends you thoughts like, “Your boss is terrible, and you’re a great Korol (King in Russian), and you need to start your own company. And your wife is awful, and everything is terrible. You should go to Dubai, buy a sports car, and live it up.” And suddenly, these thoughts appear. But your world of Spirit, or rather heart, should act as a fuse and awaken your conscience, saying, “This is not the way to act.” You should feel that you will have an inner guide, that your inner sense will stop you and protect you when your thoughts turn negative. The essence is that there is now a test where both the dark side and the material side and the spiritual side are awakening within you, or alternatively, one of these sides starts to fail you and observes how the other two aspects of yourself will either save you or not. This is how it happens. And as this exam and selection process is underway, many people give up. And why do they choose, returning to the question, old low rhythms? Because it’s familiar, easy, and simple: it’s easy to choose darkness or laziness. It’s easy to choose all of this because there’s no need for vigilance or control. Naturally, it’s like asking, “Alexandr, a person used to lift 20 kilograms on the bench press. He used to lift 15, now he lifts 20. And now we plan, I’m his trainer, to have him lift 25 kilograms. But suddenly he tells me he only wants to lift 5 kilograms. Why did this happen?” I’d say, “Because the person is tired, he got bored. His feelings have told him, ‘Why? Five is convenient.” He just did it to show and that’s all. But he no longer has the desire to strain, make an effort, or work. He used to enjoy it, but now he doesn’t. And this is how it is everywhere now. And you ask me, “Why, Alexandr, does a person who used to spend five hours preparing dinner now just toss some dumplings or pasta into water and serve that? Why does he prefer it now? Why is it more comfortable for him?” Well, think about it. Why is it more comfortable for him? Because it’s faster and easier, and he doesn’t have to engage his brain, because he doesn’t want to exert effort. That’s the problem. Naturally, it’s simpler – not having to wash all those vegetables, peel them, arrange them, cook them, and then wash all the dishes afterward. It’s just – throw the dumplings in the water. And there are people who eat dumplings not because they are poor or because they like them, but simply out of laziness. Those who don’t mind doing complex multitasking still have high efficiency and high rhythms. But those who don’t care anymore, this is again a typical mentality from the post-Soviet space – throw everything into
