Interesting post to read today. And an interesting response, Carla
I’m gonna echo a few things that Carla said, and then give some of my thoughts:
“In this technocratic world, when we are born, I believe a fracture within the self occurs” – I think so too, especially given how most of us come into the world nowadays
…”adaptive selves” and “seemingly unsolvable behavioural patterns” – indeed, there’s a lot more going on for us than even modern psychology can understand
“I didn’t know I needed to read this, but I did” and “You’re not alone” – that makes 3 of us already +/- in the same boat.
Arthur, it sounds like you’ve tried your best to live the image, following what’s set out and it didn’t work. Remember in book 2, when Vladimir thinks about suicide and wonders: “why didn’t it work out, the goals were simple – establish the association of pure-minded entrepreneurs and write the books”. But then he realises he got the order wrong. Maybe we, too, are missing some parts to make it easier for us. In my case, I am wondering about “create a space of love and find your soulmate” might be in the wrong order.
The doubts about her existence and the authenticity of the books – are they not the dark forces’ ploy to distract us from it? When I doubt, I remind myself: surely, such complex books with such amazing revelations and information could not have been conceived by an ordinary entrepreneur – it’s far more plausible that it is all real. And far less depressing, as a worldview, in my opinion.
Also, the idea about our true self and what we feel drawn to – how can we know? If we follow what Anastasia said, we know when we feel it in our heart. But there are so many images competing for our attention and trying to lead us astray in the modern world. They are fighting over us and we get confused feelings. Remember how Anastasia talks about people being driven by a desire to feel what we felt in the beginning on Earth and we have endless mechanisms and paths to try to get there? Doubts creep in and make us think we’ll achieve it by this path or that. The fact that we are on this website would suggest we’ve realised that what Anastasia recommends will make it easier for us. I go by the principle of ignorance in this – given my corrupted thinking (trauma, society influence, media, etc.), I cannot trust myself to “know better” than what’s set out in the books. Yes, there may be mistranslations, inaccuracies etc and Anastasia doesn’t know EVERYTHING, but what she recommends is much better than what we could come up with. It would be nice to one day reach a level when we might understand the whys and whats of many of the ideas, but for now we are fumbling in the dark, following the sound of the music that’s calling us home, trying to hear it distinctly and not listen to the noise of the technocratic world as it tries to jam the signal.
So, if you’re having trouble hearing the music, try reading the books again in a calm place
