without the other, and this change must occur. Everything is known through comparison, and this dynamic is essential. I understood that in order for a person to see — it’s like angles — they must first lose it. If someone was happy in love when their heart was open, they need to lose that and begin living with their mind. Only then can they step back and see, from the outside, how they were when their heart was open, and long to return to that. They return, and in time, they begin to miss the mind and discipline, the order they had when everything was neatly organized, but now they’re all feelings, and have, metaphorically speaking, nothing left, so to speak. And they go back to that. They shift from one extreme to the other, constantly searching for the balance in between, all within this dynamic. And I saw this dynamic. I saw that there are people who live by instincts, literally by animal instincts. Watch the movie “The Animal” with Rob Schneider, and pay attention to which of your acquaintances it reminds you of. You’ll see that there are many such people around you. These are people who still live by instincts, they have neither soul nor mind — nothing. They are driven solely by instincts. They want flesh, food, and comfort, that’s it. Sleep, eat, sleep, and have sex. That’s all. And there are such people. Most often, these people have the youngest souls, so to speak, in another sense, the most underdeveloped individuals. These people often become criminals, they experience hardships, or they die quickly because they can’t control their animalistic needs, and they are so intoxicated by them that they can’t even remember the law, values, or morality at that moment — they have none. And so, these people, when they want something and take it, as they say, it’s considered a violation of the law, and they are punished for it. Well, imagine, we all went through this path. Since we don’t do this, it means we’ve learned it in some other lives. Can you imagine? Some people go through this, well, it’s such a life, such a strict school we live in. And then, you see, these are the first 30% of people, who are 30% developed in the world of instincts. Those who are 40%, 50%, or even 60% developed in the world of instincts, they already learn to control them with their mind, because the mind starts to manifest. Before, they didn’t have it, but now it begins to appear. And this mind only starts to grow through trial and error. After hitting a lot of bumps, after, for the hundredth time, saying or taking something without thinking, and being scolded, punished, fined, or jailed for it, only then do you begin to realize that before you take what you want, you must not just take it like
