one after another, you truly live inside them, they’re so interesting, so deep, you’re so captivated by watching them. And there’s no resistance at all. That is, there’s none of that feeling where you’re bored and get distracted by your phone, or you have to force yourself to keep watching. No, you’re completely immersed. And when you have that kind of reaction to such films — when you’re totally there, and it’s like they grab your attention, and time flies like a minute while you’re watching the movie, like it all just flew by without tension — then that means you’re in that rhythm, in that corridor where you can, let’s say, meditate or read prayers, or read some book about the spiritual or the elevated. That’s the world. How can you tell if you’re in it or not? By those films. If they resonate with you and are easy to watch, then you’re in that world, that is, the spiritual one — let’s call it that, simply. Of course, I don’t call it that anymore, but let’s say it that way so everyone understands. Now imagine — I’m tied up with one job, another job: factory or not a factory, warehouse or not a warehouse, tons of stuff. Running errands with my parents, talking to friends about this and that, everything’s about tasks. I got caught up in the hustle, just like all people do, right? I got caught up. And imagine, I have a day like this. Now I’ll turn on a movie like “Peaceful Warrior”, “Powder”, “Angel-A,” or “The Fountain”, but I won’t be able to watch it. Because I’ll feel like I’m all agitated, as if I’m on edge, or like my rhythm is super active, and I won’t be able to concentrate on the movie — it will feel too sad, heavy, or stuffy. I won’t be able to do it. I’ll want to watch something with more energy. This means that I’m in a social-material rhythm, in another one, where there’s no magic, no depth. It’s easy to tell. And then, getting back to the topic of my books and reading them, here’s someone who started reading “Alternative History” and couldn’t continue. In other words, someone might stop at page 30, someone at 50, or 100, and then never return. Why? Because they’re not in that world. They’re in different frequencies, more surface-level, more active ones. To sit down and read my book “Alternative History”, you need to be free from all of this. And in the movie “Peaceful Warrior”, it’s shown very well. When Socrates tells him, “You eat slower, you’ll taste the food,” that’s exactly it. You need to slow down. So, for a socially- materialistic person to even manage to read my “Alternative History”, let alone understand and feel it, they need to prepare for it. Maybe for at least two days — whether it’s a holiday or not — listen to classical music, watch movies like
