Alexandr: Well, for instance, I know there are precious and semi-precious
stones, like sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and they all perform different
functions in terms of what they switch on in a person. But at this moment...
Mystic-Old-Man: This is the so-called... Since on the planet — on one
part, or another, or a third — a certain quantitative component of attention
is gathered. Most of the attention on the planet is on money, on dollars, but
70% of them are fiction, yet they still work. Americans trade in fiction.
It’s astonishing. These are things that, whether we want them to or not, they
work. Semi-precious and precious stones carry out the same work, depending
on the amount of attention gathered. If someone learns to use this amount
of gathered attention, then it means they possess attention or connect
to the attention of those people. These are paradoxical things that work.
This isn’t a scheme of operation; it’s a manifestation of the accumulation
of these energies. After all, animals don’t care what they have; they’ll just
take it and tear it apart. For them, it means nothing. But for us, it means
something because our attention is switched on. And the attention is switched
on fantastically.
Alexandr: Well, about 10 years ago in my book, I wrote that the most
important thing — I had a book about attention — is attention. That if I take
some symbol and make it so that a huge amount of people’s attention is on
it, then everyone will connect to me if this symbol becomes more popular
than Coca-Cola.
Mystic-Old-Man: You know, that is true, because the number of your
followers — that is a certain quantity — or not followers, but people —
it really will work. The thing is, well, these are paradoxical things that
work the way they work. Take bloggers — one very popular blogger became
a certain kind of “coin,” so to speak. Or a coin that is worth something.
He is, so to speak, monetized by who he is. Companies could make money
off him. But when he started showing off, they disconnected him from that;
so this is what it’s about.
Alexandr: Okay. But what if I have a friend who is a blogger with, if I’m not
mistaken, 50 million followers, and this blogger put on my pendant that
I made, dedicated to the World of Heaven and luck — a four-leaf clover.
If he has all these followers, will it reflect on them?
