like investing all their money in some stocks, and they’ll do it, end up bankrupt and homeless. Then they’ll wonder, “How did this happen?” — they supposedly chose with their heart, but somehow their heart led them astray. And so, in many of my books, I addressed readers and wrote, “Guys, you need to first figure out and understand what your heart is connected to before trusting it. The heart must be pure.” And when your heart is pure, then you should carefully and gently begin to trust your inner world, your inner voice, your inner heart. But when you are polluted and full of vices, then holding yourself back in everything is actually good. So, a restraining factor is needed by many people; otherwise, a beast will break free from them. But if you already have the light and the heart within you, of course, it’s time to let go of control. What’s interesting is that when I was little, I was crazy with faith — I didn’t fall for a single provocation, not a drop of fear, resentment, or desire for justice to prove myself right. My attitude toward money was so indifferent, in a good sense, that if neighbors ever bothered me, I could just move without even trying... It was like I always left quietly, “English style.” I wouldn’t even try to live out the last paid month; I understood that my soul and heart were more valuable to me than staying and enduring neighbors’ insults, for example, those last two weeks I had paid for. I didn’t care — I’d rather earn more money with a clear heart and move out immediately. That was always my approach. And if, say, in friendship, some boy plotted something nasty, I wouldn’t confront him, argue, or explain who’s bad and who’s good. I’d simply stop communicating with him that very day — I just disappeared. Because I knew that if I kept talking to him, I’d only get drawn into his world. And it’s like I was always in some parallel reality of paradise and happiness, always in that state — it was something incredible. Then it ended. Every time I remember this and talk about it with Big Alexander, I realize I was wrong... He corrects me and says I express myself incorrectly when I say, “Why was this taken from me?” or “Why did I lose this?” He always growls at me and says, “You didn’t lose anything, nothing was taken from you, you just have to go through this path again.” As I understand it, it’s quite possible that I had to start from the very bottom, go through this entire world, through this whole system that’s now ending, and fully travel this path, experience it all on my own skin. Everything that happens to me, I should describe in the books
