Phone screen — a copy of the monitor screen — a copy of the TV screen — a copy of the eye retina — a copy of the observer — ?!.

A stencil is applied to the darkness, and light, distorted by patterns, is passed through it - that is the whole essence of the text.

2026-06-13T08:24:29Z

Beauty is impossible in fear, and fear is impossible in recognition. Continuous recognition of one's fear in all its manifestations — individual for each person — breaks the cycle once and for all. Only then does true beauty open itself, inherent to us in childhood, where death did not exist as a concept, for it is the only source of fear.

Just as ceasing fear does not require subjecting one's life to daily threat — for the latter is merely a symptom — so too does death not need to be awaited in the future, but rather found now within oneself as that which dies. Can death catch its observer — the one who sees its beauty, revealed in ugliness, like a lotus in mud?

Am I suggesting anything? Nothing. I believe doing nothing is a luxury the world won't allow itself, even for a day. It's enough to do what each of us continues to do — with the vigilance and care we wish for ourselves. To fight a war is to continue it. Let the children within you play their fill; they'll tire and grow up on their own. Turn your full attention to yourself, and you'll see how amazing it is to be attentive to others.

Возможно ли удобно перерабатывать мусор каждому?

Не знаю, но предположу, что нет, ибо любое новое действие требует усилия и закрепления — только затем оно становится удобным, независимо от того, каким бы неказистым и дискомфортным ни казалось до~.

We observe the past from the outside, and the future from within. The farther the object of observation, the greater the past we see: many stars in the sky died millions of years ago, yet their light still reaches us. What, then, lies within?

Will acts at the speed of light and thus appears to us as fate due to its continuity. We quickly forget our choices and encounter their fruits later with surprise, as if we never desired them, but everything happened on its own: the idea to build a house seems instantaneous, yet the construction itself may take years — and by the end, the person who wanted the house is gone. The very impulse of desire arises before we even become aware of it, yet it is from within that the future is constructed, like a beam emanating from the present.

We have already lived and chosen our lives — we have already died; we simply haven't caught up yet. And if everything is determined — our joys and sorrows, breakfasts and dinners, memes and hate speech — then where does the determination originate?

The obstacle I see in myself — which I am — is that language emerged before conscious life. I already knew the names of feelings prior to them. Is it possible to live a single day without labeling anything at all, and only later to distill it all into a coherent, lived story by the campfire?

Thinking cannot create or experience. Every thought is merely the result of accumulated knowledge and past experience, regardless of whether that experience applies to the present or is obsolete.

The left hemisphere verbalizes and rationalizes, conveying only the finished form of what has been experienced. It does not experience itself — it is limited and cold. The right hemisphere, responsible for abstract-emotional perception, remains utterly silent, for it must listen to all processes occurring around — and, crucially, within. The outer is always the essence of the inner. What if we listened to our thoughts without judgment, without reacting?

Thus, these two natures — activity and passivity, light and darkness, masculine and feminine — form a holistic perception. From this arises unclouded observation of reality and true creativity: not born of memory or conditioning, but of total being, where the author and the act of creation, the "i" and "my life", dissolve. Nothing remains, and therefore, everything is.

I do not know if this is so, but I invite you to doubt and verify it yourself.

В школе я говорил о коррупции в истории России — не только государственной, но и человеческой, в отношениях с собой и другими. И пока не мы увидим эту внутреннюю коррупцию, о политической говорить рано. Речь похвалили, но учитель спросил: где я предлагаю насущное решение, а не красивое слово?

When I possess, I lose. Letting go of 'mine' and 'yours' allows things to regain their light in my eyes, incinerating the very idea of division. The material becomes an extension of the psychological — there is no need to live in poverty or cling to wealth, for all grows from inner abundance.

I'm the eternal empty search bar leading to knowledge's death. Born from fear of not knowing. Can knowledge and ignorance dance, as night strips all for morning? I'm a fare-dodger on a bus with no conductor. Is death the final boss — or just a drunk hitchhiker to the final stop?
