My favourite subject at school.

It’s History. Even history has always been changed by the rulers; anyway, the truth is appearing through time.

I am always excited when I see something old and know what period of history it belongs. It seems the spirit of that time stays with the historical item. I love to imagine how people approximately lived their lives there.

As I learn and travel, I feel no difference. Yes, technologies have changed, but the level of ignorance among humans is still high. In the culture where I grew up, the society’s focus of attention was concentrated on the past—what made them lose their lives now—and now they are looking back, rushing forward and even don’t look under their feet. So in this way, those humans never realize that they were blind to what is really happening right now.

That is a sad fact, but I don’t feel sorry for that because those humans are the main reason for their own and next generations suffering.

The world loves everyone, and we are able to see and feel it only if we want.

May love be with everyone.

Story of your life is the most interesting one.

What book are you reading at the moment?

Don’t you get tired of permanently consuming information from books, movies, YouTube, etc.?

I found that there is no difference in how important the information is. There will be a point where nothing can satisfy your desire to learn.

I realized that information itself is useless without your own experience with anything you read, watch or learn.

I heard from somebody that it’s important how much life is in your days, and it’s not important how many days are in your life.

Every new day is a new story, book, chapter, or episode of your unrepeatable life path. Even a boring daily routine is full of existing and magical moments, which we are usually losing by worrying about whatever.

How nice to be alive and be in love with your own story, where bad events are also good and good events are even better.

I wish to share books that really impressed me:

1. “Steppenwolf” Herman Hesse

2. “Flowers for Algernon”

3. “Meditations: Thoughts to Myself” Marcus Aurelius

May love be with you!

Be silent and meet a great person in you

If you had the opportunity to meet a historical figure, who would you choose to meet and why?

We don’t realize that we already met them when we first encountered the prints (arts) they left in our culture.

They speak to you every time you think of them. All that wisdom or stupidity in you is from the people who lived on this planet before. So we are in constant connection with them, but we think that all of our thoughts and ideas are only ours.

If you imagine that you met those people in person, it could be a really unpleasant experience because, for you, they will look like just regular people with their own craziness.

How much do you pay attention to those great personalities in your daily life? As Tesla’s, Jesus’s, Buddha’s, and other great people’s contemporaries were annoyed by them, you could feel the same if you were that ignorant to think that you are separated from the universal mind that is all of us.

Be silent and meet a great person in you.

May love be with you!

Nobody really cares

What first impression would you like to make on people?

Humans are addicted to thinking and get crazy when comparing themselves with others. If you try to impress anyone, get ready to fail or face judgment, which is always unpleasant.

It might hurt you if you are a sensitive empath. Always try to impress yourself, whatever you are doing. As you learn how to do it yourself, others will be impressed by you anyway.

Don’t be dependent on others opinions because they are always wrong. If you have a chance to hear what people sometimes say about you behind your back, it might shock you. So make your opinion important.

Be careful here and don’t step into egocentrism. Be honest with yourself and be able to accept your negative and positive characteristics.

Love yourself, and others will love you, hate yourself, and others will hate you. Accept yourself and you will see the magic happens in your life.

Any perspective is beautiful and unique. When you are the original and not a copy of the copy, you won’t be unconfident from that how others see you.

May love be with you!

Children are precious gifts of life, and we should never hinder their curiosity or their natural way of expressing themselves.

I have tried to work in very different industries. I have been a farmer, a constructor, an actor, an inspector, and a trader in different fields and the most pleasant and exciting job I have ever had is that of a teacher for young children.

I am a very honest person, so working with children is a perfect match for me. Children are not conditioned by society’s perverted beliefs. They see life as it is, without judgment or labels.

From children, we learn more about ourselves and life as we witness how children grow and discover the world around them. Never lie to children, because they see the very core of life.

It is so important to be honest with yourself and others before you get closer to children’s education.

I’ve seen teachers who are totally hypocritical and full of self-hate educate children and poison little kids with misery and fears. The same things I can tell some parents.

Unfortunately, in my childhood, I had teachers who were emotionally and spiritually damaged by the Soviet education system. I could never understand the violence against children. Even if I took a nonjudgmental position in life, I would never accept those who became teachers with no passion for this profession and who fed their egos by dominating the little ones, causing deep psychological trauma in them. These people even don’t realize how harmful they are to all of humanity.

As the universe shows, nothing is for free, and everything will have a fee.

Children are precious gifts of life, and we should never hinder their curiosity or their natural way of expressing themselves. Help them navigate through life, and don’t limit their experience by imposing limitations that you believe are important because you were educated in such a way.

May love be with you!

Do you regret anything?

Life flows through us, and we are forced, passing it through ourselves, to react to the events that arise in it. Events themselves are neutral, but our reaction is always polar: negative or positive. Polarity is always relative. The richer our experience, the closer we are to the balance between polarities, which is synchronization with the flow of life itself.

Any experience is priceless in itself; it is important to realize what the experience you go through teaches you. Otherwise, it will repeat itself again and again.

Regret about something is a signal that the lesson has not been learned and you will have to deal with it again.

Solitude and meditation are two of the most effective ways to review past trials and look at your character’s life from different angles.

Accepting what was and is, forgiving others and yourself—this path seems difficult and sometimes impossible. Only fear can hinder this process of awareness and liberation from shackles.

What’s your biggest fear? Look straight at it, because most often we are afraid of what we cannot see.

May love be with you!

No time

Do we need time?

Time is just an illusion of the mind that a person uses as a guide in space. There is only the moment now, and the past and future are just figments of our imagination.

When we wake up, we are still in the now, and tomorrow never comes. The illusion of time is mainly used by people to speculate and force other people to act in a certain way by making them believe that time is limited.

We all know that matter has a lifespan and that everything material will inevitably collapse. Therefore, the world of people is in a constant rush in pursuit of desires, guided by the fear that they will not succeed in something in life.

Time is a very profitable commodity for traders. It was they who came up with the phrase “time is money,” forcing the masses to shift their focus in time and exchange their lives in the now for a tool with which we exchange material and intellectual goods.

Everything is alright. No matter if time is important or not. What has to happen, will happen for sure.

May love be with you!

Времени нет

Необходимо ли вам время?

Время лишь иллюзия ума, которую человек использует как ориентир в пространстве.

Мы же знаем, что существует только момент сейчас, а прошлое и будущее всего лишь плод нашего воображения. Мы просыпаясь всё равно находимся в сейчас, а завтра так и не наступает.

Иллюзия времени в основном используется людьми для спекуляции и принуждению других людей действовать определенным образом заставив их поверить в ограниченность во времени.

Всё мы знаем, что у материи есть срок жизни и что всё материальное неизбежно разрушится. Поэтому мир людей находится в постоянной спешке и в бегах в погоне за желаниями руководимые страхом, что не успеют чего-то в жизни.

Время очень выгодный товар для торговцев. Именно они придумали фразу “время-деньги” заставив массы сместить фокус внимания во времени и обменять свои жизни на инструмент с помощью которого мы совершаем обмен материальными и интеллектуальными товарами

Нет спешке и суете.

Чего в повседневной жизни вы всегда пытаетесь при возможности избежать?

С момента как я открываю глаза утром каждый раз убеждаюсь, что всё в полном порядке и, так как должно быть каким бы печальным или радостным не казалась действительность.

Сохраняя внутреннее спокойствие я приступаю к повседневным делам. Тем чем я занимаюсь каждый день я выполняю разными способами, чтоб избежать повторения и малейшего намёка на обыденность, так я чувствую себя живым.

Каким бы срочным не было дело я всегда избегаю спешки. Порой увлеченный проблемой ум пытается заставить тело ускорить процессы, что часто приводит к путанице и вытекающим из нее новых проблемам, которые только прибавляют стресса.

При таких обстоятельствах решая одну проблему в спешке можно сотворить себе ещё большую проблему или ряд проблем. Мой совет кому-то будет: при любых обстоятельствах не спешить с принятием решений, выполнением действий.

Возможно окажется, что ничего кроме как просто быть в том моменте больше ничего не нужно.

У кого-то из учителей духовности я подслушал формулу, счастливого бытия, что сперва нужно быть, а только потом делать если на то есть необходимость.

Скажи спешке нет и позволь себе насладится бесконечным и прекрасным моментом сейчас.

Найди себя!

Какой была самая лучшая ваша находка (которую вы сохранили)?

Когда все попытки натянуть на себя образы окружающего общества были провалены и настало темное время утраты какого-либо смысла жить и в это самое время произошло нечто, что привело меня к величайшей находке в моей жизни.

По счастливому стечению обстоятельств с семнадцати лет мне довелось покинуть родительский дом, страну в которой я родился и рос и отправиться на другую сторону земного шара где я был полностью предоставлен себе.

В тот период жизни у меня не было наставника или того кто мог бы скорректировать направление моего роста. Я был окружён такими же беспечными людьми образ жизни которых сводился к бесконечному пиру и удовлетворению плотских утех и где-то параллельно проходила еле заметная осознанность того, что такой путь ведёт к неизбежному самоуничтожению.

Были и те кто потакая обществу принимал общепринятый путь среднестатистического порабощенного карьерным ростом, жаждой наживы человека, который так или иначе делал это всё, для того чтобы обеспечить себе ту самую праздность. Как выяснится позже, что так называемая праздность была способом заглушить боль засевшую глубоко внутри, но это я узнаю почти через десятилетие.

Как бы ужасающе не звучало, то что я описал выше, на самом деле я бесконечно благодарен за пройденный мною путь на котором мне довелось натянуть на себя бесчисленное количество масок, примерить множество ролей среди которых не было ни одной, которая олицетворяла настоящего меня.

Когда жизнь меня подвела к вопросу “кто я?”, я стоял на пороге в иное, назову его “бестелесное бытие” то есть конец земного существования. Как раз в это темнейшее время я нашёл то, что так долго искал в окружающем меня мире-настоящего меня, которого игнорировал многие годы, а он терпеливо ждал наблюдая как раз за разом ложный я причинял телу боль и страдание.

Именно находка самого себя и есть для меня величайшей из всех. Как показывает мой опыт, что каждый человек на планете в той или иной мере пытается найти себя. Каждому кто идёт этим путем осознанно я желаю прийти к истинному себе.
