in the first place, everything is as if beautifully highlighted, and as if I perceive
everything not so limitedly, but as if multi-faceted. Well not multi-faceted,
but as if under a wide angle, as if I see everything like 360 degrees. I began,
naturally, to record this, began to record myself on a voice recorder. I have
a voice recorder where I record myself whenever possible when I happen
to be in the Spirit, and when I don’t forget this moment, and manage to take
the voice recorder and record it. Also I begin to take photographs. Simply,
while I am in the Spirit, to photograph at least something that happens
to be before my eyes, because it is not important what will be depicted
on the photograph, but the essence is that I will capture the code of this
space, into which I have fallen while I am in the spirit. This is all that I was
recording, and for me this, you see, happened simply, one can say, in a minute
I managed to do it.
But what this led me to next is what’s interesting. I remember again that
since childhood, in all my books, I always wrote about the fact that there is a
time that resonates with me the most, when I become really, very good. This
is approximately an hour before sunset, when the sun, it is on the horizon,
but it has not yet gone down, and therefore there is light and shadows.
But another thing is interesting: I was listening to various music randomly,
and those musical tracks stole my attention that I had listened to at some
point, a long time ago, at the moment when I was walking down the street,
when there was exactly this moment of light that I like, when the sun has
not yet gone down, but it is on the horizon, and there is much light and
shadow. I began to remember immediately in which places, when, which
track I was listening to. Here I remembered how I was walking in Seattle and
listening to a certain music, and I recorded these musical tracks for myself;
I remembered how I was walking in Los Angeles and also listening to certain
music at this same time, and also remembered how I was walking in my
hometown, Saint Petersburg. And here I decided that we have a new way to
google everything now, that is to ask chat GPT, and I ask, and here is
what it writes to me, that “This is truly indeed a magical time of day, which
in the English-speaking tradition is called the ‘golden hour’”. And further
chat GPT explains to me generally what it is. “The sun is low above the
horizon; when its angle relative to the horizon is small, this depends
on the geographical latitude; at high latitudes, closer to the poles, the sun during
