Mystic-Old-Man: Yes, but you’ll be the one getting in your own way.
Alexandr: Alright. And if I’m to reach that state naturally, like in childhood — how much more time would I need approximately?
Mystic-Old-Man: You need to remember that state, and it will come.
Alexandr: So I’m trying to recall it now, and I’m describing it in the book, remembering. I see — alright... to remember it. And gradually, it turns out, even if I simply remember how I behaved back then and start doing and behaving the same way, I’ll naturally return to it?
Mystic-Old-Man: Yes, yes.
Alexandr: And is it possible to enter that state through a catastrophic event?
Mystic-Old-Man: I’d say — partly.
Alexandr: Alright. And have I passed Mara’s trials or not yet?
Mystic-Old-Man: Not yet.
Alexandr: So even though I’m currently connecting with the element of fire, feeling fire in my hands, and touching nirvana, at the same time I can still be thrown into doubt and tested by Mara? From one extreme to another? Mystic-Old-Man: That can happen.
Alexandr: Well alright, that’s all for now. Thank you very much.
Well then, dear readers, what comment can I give? The last two times I’ve spoken with the Mystic-Old-Man, he hasn’t been in the Spirit. And his mood... You see, sometimes when I call him, I can just ask: “What is this?” and he’ll respond word for word with exactly what I’m working on or studying — even though there’s no way he could know those words. But now, even when I name everything myself and just ask “yes or no,” he replies with “no” or “could be so,” and so on. Well, he’s not in the Spirit. But the point isn’t the Mystic-Old-Man himself — it’s simply that the Spirit isn’t speaking to me through him right now, that’s all. What else? Mara is illusion — it’s everywhere. Any word or action, if you’re an impure person, can awaken doubt in you or upset you. For example, to help you understand, it’s possible to suppose that the Mystic-Old-Man could also be Mara — or rather, she could act through him, clouding your mind, so to speak. And when I spoke with him the time before last, and he once again referred to the year 2028 — that was Mara. And those people who are attached,
