[Alexandr Korol]

admittedly the way he reaches that state is not a great example. I, on the other hand, come to it naturally, just by reading my own book. But in that film, he’s lazy, unable to finish writing his book, his apartment is a mess, he looks terrible, and he can’t think straight. Then suddenly — bam! He cleans up his place, transforms himself, thinks clearly, absorbs information quickly, finishes his book, and pays attention to every little detail (like what book his neighbor is reading). It’s as if you become a supermind. That’s what it means to be in the Spirit — that’s how it feels. You simply become like a superhuman, but it’s still you. It’s like the best version of yourself, as if you’re inspired. Just in a good mood. We all have different moods, right? Sometimes we’re emotionally reactive, upset, tired; we might feel lazy or insecure. Or, on the flip side, we might feel prideful. All sorts of qualities arise. But in this state, you’re at maximum clarity, as if you were just born, as if you just took a shower. You’re fresh, completely clear, fully present in the here and now. Absolute clarity in everything, without mental noise. What’s really interesting is how this affects the body. When a person lives in their mind, they’re very aware of their body — they notice everything. Everything can be irritating or make them tired. In the world of the mind, as I used to call it, there’s this constant sense of fatigue. But when you’re in the Spirit, there is no fatigue. Whether it was an hour ago or ten hours ago — however much time has passed — you feel exactly the same. There’s no exhaustion, no sense of time dragging, no division between what’s interesting and what’s not. You can do anything — from the simplest task to the most complex — with intense concentration. Nothing distracts you. You can read a book and fully grasp it, watch a movie and fully absorb it, as if you’ve lived through it. That means an incredibly high learning capacity, information processing — you’re like a supercomputer, but also able to deliver that information with precision. It’s in this very state of the Spirit that I decipher everything and process all the information, and then present it in “Alternative History.” This state is amazing. In this state, there is no fear, as I’ve said — no fear, no fatigue, no desire to eat, no sense of time. It’s simply here and now. As if everything is one continuous day. If you remain in the Spirit for a long time, it all feels like one long day. It doesn’t matter if two days, a month, or a year has passed — if you’re in this state, it all blends into one seamless moment. It’s like you perceive everything with a thousand times more attention, but at the same time, you’re not attached to it; you’re observing from a distance.
