it is spring or something else, it doesn’t matter. Just number one. What happens next? When this cycle ends, the second cycle begins — a material, good, light cycle. What kind of cycle is this? It is when your mind awakens, but all feelings disappear. That sense of everything being illuminated for you, when you intuitively agreed to everything, when everything aligned, and everything felt right, heartfelt, and soulful — that feeling simply switches off when the second cycle begins, when the second version of you emerges. And you just mentally remember or try to remember and follow all the insights you had when you were in the first cycle. You make lists, a mold of sorts — what felt right, what was close to your heart, what was good, what was bad, what plans you made, what music playlists and film selections you created — you take all of that and simply follow it from memory in the second cycle, when your mind takes over. But with your mind, you also try to understand why you made those choices. In the first cycle, you make choices purely by feeling, without knowing why on an intellectual level. The second cycle is given to you so that you can understand what you have chosen: what are these films, why are they all French? Why is all the music British? Why did you reject one thing but accept another? You start finding explanations for all this with your mind, reinforcing it mentally, and without feelings, you simply live by this list from memory. This is the second cycle — it is good, material. And this first and second cycle can be seen as day and morning, or morning and day, like spring and summer. But do you know what the paradox is? The third cycle arrives, and there is no escaping it — it manifests everywhere, in everything living, in this entire system, from the smallest to the greatest. And so, this third cycle begins — a cycle of feelings, but it is a mirror image, the opposite, it is instincts. But people do not know this. They think that once again, the time of feelings has come, and they, with wide, blinking eyes, naively and foolishly begin to trust these feelings. But these feelings are false. And what kind of feelings are they? Vain, greedy, lustful, sinful, and so on. And a person caught in this third cycle beats their chest and declares that these are their true feelings, that they come from the soul, from nature, and that this is how they want to live. Can you imagine? And what do you think this all leads to? Something good? No. This is how people stray from the path. And so it goes, from cycle to cycle, from cycle to cycle. This wheel grinds them down like a meat grinder, over and over again. And so, the third cycle is feelings, but falsely
