he started feeling the same thing himself. But the real twist is, when we returned to Los Angeles, we gave the ring to a girl, a friend of ours, to try on. She put it on – and she didn’t know anything about it – and she described everything my friend and I had felt. And he was shocked because he knew she wasn’t aware, that it wasn’t self-suggestion, but she described word for word everything we had felt. That’s when he started believing in it more. And so, you see, the boy asked me to show him some paradoxes, and in the end, here I am, still walking around with this ring to this day. Miracles. What was that, how did it happen, why did I do it? At that time, I didn’t know what Spirit was. It’s only in the later volumes of “Alternative History” that I began to understand it. So, in a way, the first volume of “Alternative History” ends with me discovering what Spirit is. After that, I start revealing it in more detail in the following volumes. But back then, I called it something different. I understood that when I make plans with material people, following a plan, a navigator, going somewhere, it all feels lifeless, soulless, bland, and flat. And that’s how people who live in this world, in this flat world, live. People who live in such a material world without miracles, hearts, and magic – I called it that. I said the reason for this is the mind and control, and that you need to turn off the mind. The mind is needed in certain tasks, but not all the time. But when you’re going for a walk, you need to turn off the mind and pay attention to what captures your attention, listen to your heart. And so, when the boy asked me to show him these miracles I had written about in the book “Paradox”, what did I do? I was simply trying to take him out of the system of the world we were in, where he lives in the socio-material world, and I needed to take him into the world of miracles, into the world of the “mad.” So, his mind wanted to go, already thinking, distorting things, to a nearby town that was familiar to his mind, but I told him to just go straight, not knowing where. And this is the way out from under the influence of the system we were both in, the system where we lived, let’s say. The point is that there’s a certain algorithm, a way of acting: if I now follow this specific “without mind” algorithm, I enter this world “without mind.” And in this algorithm, the messengers live, and I write my books in it. This is a world where you control nothing, but give yourself over to nature, to the system, and it moves you, and there are all sorts of miracles – it’s a separate, parallel world. And that’s where we ended up.
