Question: In the book, you mention that talking to someone from the heart is like a technique where the mind shuts off and the heart turns on. This seems to be all about trust. How does this work?
It’s not about trust. You see, do you need trust to talk not about underwear and the price of underwear, but about God? Do you need trust to talk about the meaning of life, fate, or depth? Or do you need trust to discuss who has what kind of man, who earns how much, and gossip? For all those social, material, surface-level gossip, do you need trust? Or how is that? Yes, it turns out that before, I placed a big emphasis in my books on how even what you eat, listen to, or watch — these things, even what you wear and the apartment you’re in — affect the world you live in. Surround yourself with elements of world 5, and you enter world 5. Surround yourself with elements of world 10, and you enter world 10, where there are different rules, a different fate, a different life. But the most powerful thing is not all of these things — it’s not music, not films, not clothes, not food. The most powerful thing influencing you is simply your thoughts from today. If you believe in God and think that there is you, there is God, there is the soul, that you need to live from the heart, remember all your virtues, try to help your parents, read prayers, exercise, and think only about learning a lot, not being conceited, not wanting too much, but simply being in your small world, getting an education, becoming a doctor, working, and toiling — if you have these thoughts, you will have one life and one destiny. And if you have other thoughts, don’t be surprised if your life turns out to be mediocre. And when you gossip, lie, envy, or discuss some silly jokes or fashionable phrases that young people use today, you connect to their source, to which they are connected, and you become just as foolish. Your memory deteriorates, your attention weakens, you become distracted, feel lazy like them, bad, lustful, and corrupt thoughts start to arise, and it turns out you even begin to see everything from a different perspective. It turns out that even thoughts, not actions, but thoughts alone already define you and where you live, in which reality. And if your thoughts are bright and pure, then your life will be clean and bright. If you have constant gloom, self-criticism, complaints about people, about yourself, negativity, envy, then you see this reality and live in it, and you decay in it.
