Maxim slim girls at the bar, talking about the car he wants to buy, showing him jokes from social media. And because Maxim spent a couple of days with him like that, his perception of reality shifted, meaning Maxim switched from the spiritual world to society, to this nasty, dirty society. After that, Maxim started having thoughts and began perceiving Masha in a judgmental way. As a result, he immediately started seeing her as unattractive, and everything about her started bothering him, everything about her became unsatisfactory. So, he broke up with her. And while he was in this wrong corner of the social, material world, where his heart was turned off and everything was more about judgment, he found another girl, Alena. Everything was fine as long as his heart was switched off in this social-material world. But then, for some reason, something happened, and it’s unclear why, that made his heart turn back on. Maybe he caught a cold, maybe he heard a particular music track, but something awakened his heart. Suddenly, it was as if he woke up from a spell and saw that Alena, with whom he was lying, was beautiful but empty — there was no soul in her. And he felt so cold and lonely, so naturally, he broke up with her. And that’s how people are tossed around, with work, studies, friendships, and relationships. It’s the same with my books. But there are also supporting characters, like his friend Lesha, who are always trying to change your angle. For example, a person reading or listening to me and my information might suddenly feel their heart awaken, meaning they change their angle to a more creative one, and they might start regretting getting a tattoo. Or they might suddenly start thinking about how wrong they were when they snapped at their mom. Suddenly, they’ll want to quit bad habits. And friends from the social, dark world will notice this and get worried, asking, “What’s wrong with you?” And they’ll say, “I don’t know, I just started thinking and realized I don’t want to wear green dreads anymore or tattoo my face.” And they’ll say, “Come on, what’s wrong with you? Let’s drink and relax,” – you see, that’s how they’ll try to pull him back. That’s how it all works. So, yes, when a person suddenly... This doesn’t only happen because of circumstances; it can happen that it’s simply the time of year, and someone who’s had a cold heart for five years might suddenly feel their heart awaken, and they don’t even know why. They might suddenly want to watch the film “Angel-A” or “K-PAX,” and at that moment, they remember, “Oh, what about that Sacha Korol, the one who wrote books? I really want to talk to him. Where is he?”
