Возможность пути и есть путь.

Есть ли у вас жизненное кредо или цитата, о смысле которой вы часто думаете?

Есть вопросы, к которым иногда приходят люди, но не всегда. Эти три вопроса звучат так: Кто я? Для чего живу? Для чего умираю? Абсолютно не имеет значения, какие мнения и идеи производит мой ум, отвечая на эти вопросы, ибо мысль, изречённая, есть ложь. Самым драгоценным в мире является внимание, так как внимание и его концентрация создают видимость проявленности физической реальности. Об этом гласит выражение: куда направлено внимание, туда течёт энергия. В созерцании реакций ума и тела таится разгадка неслучайных случайностей, которые мы называем обстоятельствами жизни.

Погружённый в иллюзию своей бытовой занятости и в спешке угнаться за чужим распорядком, мимо проносятся годы, возможности, проявленность индивидуальных качеств и талантов. А что важно всё-таки для человека, когда ему постоянно страшно из-за факта, что то, что ты так любишь и ненавидишь, в один день умрёт? Забавно то, что страх этот не смерти, а страх от того, что может быть, будет ещё страшнее. Такой себе уроборос: страх о страхе. Как говорят буддисты, смерть нужно практиковать до её действительного наступления, то есть погружаться в глубокую медитацию, и, возможно, в какой-то из практик на мгновение удастся быть чистым осознанием, которое развеет страхи и сомнения, так настойчиво внедряемые в нас одержимыми страхами умами.

И после множества слов, написанных выше, снова возникает вопрос: Кто я? Тот, кто боится, тот, кто стращает, тот, кто думает, что боится, или всё-таки тот, кто думает, что стращает? Разницы никакой.

Observe the change and stay still.

It’s been more than half a year since I left Indochina. Many things changed in my life.
The amazing part is that I didn’t plan all of these changes. They happen naturally as you grow in your sense of being here and now.


Now, I am totally happy with what I have, wherever I am. I keep growing in all directions, and I don’t let my mind take full control of life but let it be part of it.


A few months ago, I could feel a bit of sadness in me about the idea that I had left “paradise.”
I realized that paradise destroyed the meaning of being for me. There was nothing that could make me satisfied with who I am and what I am doing.


I feel there is a huge difference in my perspective on life now and what I should do.
Too much comfort is good to have because, soon or later, it becomes your biggest desperation. You get a condition of mind that doesn’t understand who you are or why you live. It doesn’t matter what social status you have.

The human mind can make life seem stagnant, and if it becomes rotten, then you understand that there is no other way but to move and wash away all of those rotten, not working behavior patterns.


Silence the mind by observing the thoughts and feelings that arise. Stay still and see what you really are. Let the past go, and it will take lots of weight off you that you carry for yourself and those who taught you these misconceptions.


Get back to you and dance with the flow of life. 
May love be with you!

It doesn’t matter what I personally like or dislike.

Name three objects or phenomena that you dislike.

The first is hypocrisy. For me, it’s the most miserable event that exists in human behaviour. Hypocrisy is the reason for many man-made catastrophes. For those who live life from the perspective of truth, hypocrisy is like direct insulting.

The second is violence. Violence creates more violence and pain that accompany the destruction of life.

The third is ignorance. But the fact that the first two things that I don’t like are the results of ignorance.

Anyway, these things are eternal parts of life, which is exciting for the balance and evolution of everything.

In conclusion, I would say that it doesn’t matter what I personally like or dislike because, in fact, everything is alright and in its place. Even negative things exist for good.

The main lesson of life is to learn.

May love be with you!

Find yourself

What was your greatest discovery of your life?

When all attempts to pull on the images of the surrounding society failed and the dark time came for the loss of any meaning to live, at that very time something happened that led me to the greatest discovery of my life.

By a happy coincidence, at the age of seventeen, I had the opportunity to leave my parents’ home, the country in which I was born and raised, and go to the other side of the globe, where I was completely on my own. At that time in my life, I did not have a mentor or someone who could correct the direction of my growth.

I was surrounded by the same careless people whose lifestyle boiled down to an endless feast and satisfaction of carnal pleasures, and somewhere in parallel, there was a barely noticeable awareness that such a path leads to inevitable self-destruction.

There were also those who, indulging society, accepted the generally accepted path of the average person, enslaved by career growth and the thirst for profit, and who, one way or another, did all this in order to ensure that very idleness.

As it turns out later, the so-called idleness was a way to drown out the pain lodged deep inside, but I would find out this almost a decade later.

No matter how terrifying it may sound, as I described above, in fact, I am eternally grateful for the path I have traveled, on which I have had the opportunity to put on countless masks and try on many roles, among which there was not one that personified the real me.

When life brought me to the question “Who am I?”, I stood on the threshold of something else; I’ll call it “incorporeal existence,” that is, the end of earthly existence. It was during this darkest time that I found what I had been looking for for so long in the world around me—the real me, which I had ignored for many years, and he waited patiently, watching over and over again the false me cause pain and suffering to my body.

It is the discovery of oneself that is, for me, the greatest of all. My experience shows that every person on the planet, to some degree or another, is trying to find themselves.

I wish everyone who consciously follows this path to come to their true selves.

May love be with you!

Letter to my “twin flame”

Day and night are always there.
Chasing each other
They seem to be separated.
Endless search—flour!
The sun roams the universe.
I don’t know where the light comes from.
The sun roams the universe.
Asking the planets where the light comes from

Have a great moment right now!
I want to share with you my reasoning on the topic of life, and I know that you will understand me. It’s so magical—everything that happens to us, the experiences that we go through…


Getting to know you turned my idea of myself and life in general inside out.
This process was painful, but I do not regret anything in any way. On the contrary, I am infinitely grateful for everything. You are the one in the life of my character who destroyed the false self that has taken possession of me since childhood.


By dying, I was freed from many beliefs that are harmful to me and to life in general. I saw that many people of different cultures are sick with a similar mental illness, specifically self-dislike, that is, ignorance. People destroy themselves voluntarily, and the «powerful» of this world take advantage of the lack of vigilance and ignorance of the masses.


Everything starts within yourself, and the world that surrounds you is created or accepted by you. Only you yourself are guilty of the suffering you go through.


If something that is uncomfortable haunts you, then you accept it and do not mind carrying it with you, and everyone has their own reasons.
People are sometimes ready to fight to protect the source of their pain.

I realized that it is necessary to respect the choice of each person, even the one who chooses the side of ignorance. We are all unique in our own way and are at different stages of development, both spiritual and material, but still, we are all one; therefore, I am with you and you are with me. Love you!


I know you are interested in what I share with you, so here is a continuation or perhaps another interpretation of the magic that happens on the way to life.
I hope you understand what I’m talking about in these posts.


If you ask me, why am I sharing this with you?
I will answer that perhaps this knowledge will help somehow on your path to self-improvement and development, and you are also a participant in the great process of evolution.


You and I personify the meeting of opposites, which are united in the unmanifested but opposite and irreconcilable in the manifested reality.


How the rationality of the mind and the irrationality of the subconscious, when interacting, cause suffering in order for the process of evolution to continue and be embodied through duality.

Let me share what it looks like from my side.
I play the role of rational thinking lost in itself, which finally met with you—irrational, chaotic, but looking like rational in order to lure the mind deeper into its trap; thus, the illusion of similarity worked. Having united the irrational rather quickly, he threw up the foundation of everything created by the rational mind and destroyed everything to the ground. This was the moment of death and resurrection (the death of the ego). This was perceived by the mind as physical leaving the body, that is, death. For the mind, this is a painful process, and the source of this pain is the irrationality from which the mind tries to escape, but understands that it is useless since it contains its opposite in itself. It is in the realization of oneness that the divine is manifested. Love is you and I both in unity and in the manifestation of opposites in relation to each other.


This is described at different times by different philosophical and religious views as Yin-Yang, Shiva-Shakti, Apollonian and Dionysian, Hermes and Hestia, etc.
It’s just incredible what paths our characters take, right?


Remember those moments when the waves of fear and anger captured you during our meetings? After all, the nature of this fear and anger is not clear to you, but the source of it is within you. I am only able to feel everything that you experience in order to better understand you and help myself and partly you on the spiritual path, consciously or not.

Perhaps you often question the universe, so the answers come to you through me and other manifestations of life in the form of signs and lessons. Whether you can see the lesson in the endless stream of your own worries and fuss, this is your freedom of choice. Vigilance will accurately help you determine yourself and your true location on the map of your life path, which is determined only by you. And who are you?

It really doesn’t make any sense. Such is my ability to see life from birth to rebirth and the meaninglessness of this process.

For limited minds, including my own, this is inexplicable and incomprehensible, which is mortally frightening since the mind is limited by the functions clearly laid down by nature in it.

When consciousness goes beyond the limited mind, the mind becomes humble, which allows the harmony of the symbiosis of the body, mind, and soul to prevail. That very Trinity is equal to the peace from which everything begins and with which everything ends.
We are one. Love you!

May love be with you!
