You’re absolutely right in noting that when I was in the material world, the connection would disappear, and when I shifted into the spiritual world, it would return. And back then, at that more primitive stage of understanding, I used to divide my states into just two: as if there were an “open” me and a “closed” me — like a spiritual me and a material me. That’s also how I perceived others, only through that dual lens. Of course, it all runs deeper than that, but I understood that later. And yes, I noticed and understood that whenever I was alone, when I... But again, you see, a material person can also be alone today. And even during that day, they’ll still try to maintain their usual active, material rhythm. They might spend a day or two like that, but they won’t actually shift into a spiritual rhythm. And after those two days of being alone, they’ll think they’ve spent time in solitude, but in reality, their brain and mind were hyperactive, and so was their rhythm. And afterward, they’ll go right back into the social-material world, into the rush of activity, thinking they had rested while sitting at home. But they didn’t really switch. The key is switching. Switching. And for many people, switching takes a long time. For some, even two days isn’t enough. For others, even two weeks won’t cut it. You’ve probably heard many stories like this — where a material person, some workaholic who’s constantly working, finally goes on vacation with their family for two weeks, but his mind never leaves his job back home. He’s still on his phone, constantly in touch with everyone. And essentially, those two weeks that he thinks he’s on vacation — he’s not. Because all his attention, his mind, his thoughts, are still back at work. So his rhythm doesn’t change, and that’s bad — it can lead to serious consequences later on, like dementia and more. There has to be dynamic rhythm, a switching of states, a transition between worlds. For example, if you’re with your family — that’s a rhythm of 400. You need to consciously shift the pace of your rhythm — of your body, your soul, your consciousness, whatever you want to call it — to that level, 400. That means you must relax and fully focus on your child — be there completely, body and soul, playing LEGO together. That’s how it should be. Not like you’re building something with them but your mind is still thinking about work. That doesn’t work. That’s wrong. A person must fully disconnect from work and connect to their family. When, for example, they’re at work, they should forget about the family, disconnect from it during that moment, and fully plug into the work. When they’re out fishing,
