Mystic-Old-Man: Any.
Alexandr: Oh come on... Well, it’s clear — it’s a path. Alright, let me put it another way. I’ve found all the elements, but I have to link them correctly? Or am I still missing an element?
Mystic-Old-Man: You’re missing something.
Alexandr: Is it the circle?
Mystic-Old-Man: It’s the circle of consciousness.
Alexandr: The circle of consciousness. How do I understand that?
Mystic-Old-Man: You need to focus on it.
Alexandr: So I’m missing the geometric shape of the circle?
Mystic-Old-Man: Yes, concentrate on it. That’s all. Nothing else.
Alexandr: So basically, I just need to look for circles in everything and I’ll find something.
Mystic-Old-Man: Yes.
Alexandr: Alright, I guess... I still feel like asking one more question. Okay, I’ll ask. I remember that around the age of 19, I was in a state that books describe as nirvana — that is, nothing disturbed me, nothing bothered me, I felt one hundred percent happiness, as if I wasn’t really here, watching everything from the outside. And was I tuned into something then, or was I truly at that level in a literal sense?
Mystic-Old-Man: That was something you were manifesting within yourself.
Alexandr: Manifesting within myself?
Mystic-Old-Man: It wasn’t that you were tuned in — it was something you were manifesting in yourself.
Alexandr: And why was it during that time — around 18 or 19 — that this was in me... Who made that happen? Was it me?
Mystic-Old-Man: It was the way your structure allowed it at that time.
Alexandr: Alright. And now, am I right in understanding that I need to return to that again?
Mystic-Old-Man: That wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Alexandr: But how close am I to that now? I’m striving for it.
Mystic-Old-Man: Then keep moving closer — 82%, will that satisfy you?
Alexandr: What I’m more curious about is... What’s the obstacle to it? I mean, could I do it in one day? You’d probably say yes. And I will do it...
