The insistent ones are always the devils, if you want to put it that way, the serpents. The serpents are ready to get on you right now. But the bright, kind friend-spiritual mentor won’t tell you that there’s some event today that you should go to, he won’t say that. He’ll just say, “Watch this movie,” like “Peaceful Warrior,” or “Matilda” with Danny DeVito. “Write in your journal,” that’s what he might say. If you play the piano, “Play the piano better. Write something,” that’s the kind of advice a spiritual mentor gives, but it’s always dull, modest. And that’s who a spiritual mentor is.
A spiritual mentor is a friend who always holds you back. There are always friends who push you, and there are those who hold you back. For example, if I have a friend, he definitely has friends who tell him to post online about the car he just bought, and I stop him and say, “You don’t need to, why would you do that? You already have a family, it’s a family car, why post it? Fine, if you were 20 and looking for attention, trying to find yourself and show off, but now this isn’t even your first car, so why post it online?” And so, for many, I seem like the wise one. I simply take that position. Although, I can take different positions. You see, the world is so complex, multifaceted. There are people who might push you toward the spiritual. There are people who might push you toward the material. And as revealed in the following volumes of “Alternative History,” there’s something else — a fake spiritual world and a fake material world, which can also push you. If you don’t know how to distinguish these, you might think you’re doing everything right but end up in a trap. Because there’s the spiritual world, there’s the material world, and then there are these completely opposite versions of both, like a mirror world. But actually, if you use your head and do a comparative analysis, you can easily spot the difference. Because the real spiritual world — the true spiritual, creative world — makes you an introvert, modest, you hardly post anything on social media, you don’t show yourself, don’t talk about yourself, but you keep a journal, write music, and everything is modest. But a fake spiritual person is half-naked, sitting in the lotus position somewhere in the mountains, taking photos. It’s as if they spent more time on the photoshoot than on meditation. This spiritual person doesn’t sit alone at home, keeping a journal, analyzing
