People who live in the underworld, everything is the same, but the other way
around. That is, a person lives also by illusions, something “seems” to him,
he glimpses things, he cannot explain it with the mind, and cannot think it
through, just as in the world of heaven. Only for him, everything that “seems”
and is glimpsed, seems exactly from a negative point of view, therefore to such
people everything always seems only bad. But the most interesting thing to
note is precisely “seems.” That is, in the literal sense, let’s say, no one wished
any ill on this person who lives in the underworld — let’s imagine this person
— no one wished him ill, but it “seems” to him that all of us wish him ill. It
“seems” to him that all of us are deceiving him, or all of us are using him. It
“seems” to him that the whole world is set against him. And this person,
because of these “it seems,” from these illusions, begins to do bad things, that
is, this pushes him toward bad things. And pay attention, it is not something
concrete, logical, or physical that pushes him, but his imagination, a dark
imagination. Now people in the world of heaven, they are also led their whole
lives by something invisible, let’s say, something unreal and illogical, also
some kind of “ghost”, that is, it was “glimpsed” , but it leads to a bright result.
This is for people in the world of heaven.
Now let’s return to the theme of children. If we understand, if we compare
all things, all my past, let’s say, novels “Alternative History”, all my past,
previous volumes, then we can imagine such a situation where a child who
sees an imaginary friend — and if we nonetheless live in a simulation — then
in essence this child really, in the literal sense, recreates for himself, creates
for himself a character. And for him, as long as he sees him, he remains
real for him, as long as he sees him. And why real? After all, if right now this
imaginary friend... That is, my point is that one shouldn’t underestimate
imagination. After all, this imaginary friend might advise this child to make
up with the parents, because suddenly they are in pain, after the child was
throwing a tantrum, he stayed alone in the room and is communicating
with this imaginary friend. And the imaginary friend says to him: “make up
with your parents, ask mom for forgiveness.” And after all, the child after
this will do it. So if imagination pushes a person to an action, then how is
this not reality? One hundred percent reality. Yes, maybe we, adult people,
as an example, the parents of this child, cannot see his imaginary friend.
But I will say this: one should perceive this specifically seriously, this situation.
