when the whole world is divided into just two — material and spiritual. Later, it turned out there are a lot of nuances, that besides the state of being without the mind, that state can be different. There’s a state of being without the mind not because you’re in the Spirit, but because you literally don’t think logically, you don’t remember what you did yesterday, you don’t plan tomorrow, there’s no mental strain, but your heart is open, you’re a creative person. There are such creative people floating in the clouds, extremely sensitive, inspired by anything, experiencing joy from any little thing. Such people exist. But they can forget they have to pay rent tomorrow and end up on the street, or something like that. So there are people without the mind, but with consequences. And that is not the Spirit. The Spirit is something else — it’s when you have a super clear mind, and you do have it. But the mind not as in mind filled with intrusive thoughts and instincts. No. It’s like you’re a super agent. Like in the movie “The Bourne Identity,” as if you’re sitting at a table and you’ve calculated everything: how many entrances and exits, how many people are sitting outside, inside, how many cars are parked. You’re extremely attentive, but your attentiveness is like that of a predator animal. Or, as I described, as if you’re a fly with many eyes — you even sense what’s behind your head, you see the movement of every person, but all of this is within the framework of the here and now. You’re not thinking about the past, you’re not thinking about the future, you are only here and now, but with a super analytical mind. And there are no thoughts like, “Oh, did I turn off the iron at home or not?” — you don’t have those thoughts. Or someone walks by on the street, and you think, “Oh, that person looks so much like my ex” — you don’t have those thoughts either. That human distracting factor is absent, your attention is 100% gathered and focused, you’ve completely tamed your instincts, your mind is fully refined, your heart is turned on to the maximum in its pure form, and only after that the Spirit enters you. That’s how it works. And then, as it turned out — though that’s in the later volumes of “Alternative History” — that the Spirit is not just one. Back then, I was glad even for just one, but it turned out there are many of them. So yes, there’s a big difference. You can be “without mind,” sure. And the most interesting part is, as it turned out later in the future — in my other books I write about this — there’s also an opposite kind of “without mind.” There’s “without mind” when you’re in the heart, and there’s “without mind” when you’re connected to the dark.
