Unfortunately, the unshakable foundation of our world is distraction. It was created for us, it was created by us and for us, and we are inevitably immersed in it to one degree or another, being part of society. 

We ourselves create the matrix and the chaos that distract us from what is truly meaningful to us. That is, “their” goal is not even to distract us, but to reshape our consciousness to be like that of an ant, so that we ourselves want to live that way, and, moreover, so that we forget how it could be different. They have become part of the surrounding environment. 

The goal of social media, media communications, advertising, magazines, cinema, and other social activities is to turn us into consumers, into slaves who feel that they are an important part of everything that happens in the world, to make us feel that we are aware of everything and that we are inevitably connected to it to some extent. And if a person still feels that they can influence something within this system, they will never voluntarily leave the game and will keep feeding the matrix to the very end.

 That’s what the stars, billionaires, and presidents are like. They don’t rule the world. They merely head the matrix. They don’t change its code, and they don’t even strive to; and if they do, they’re immediately removed by “they.” Everything in the world is built on the idea of delaying, stretching, prolonging, squeezing out as much as possible, using up, burning through, getting enough, taking control, systematizing, simplifying. The only way to get out of this game is to learn not to get distracted. Learning not to see yourself as part of the system, but to build your own path on an unstructured, completely blank field. Not to work for the matrix, and not to go against it, but to renounce it. This is an important point — you can’t fight against it either, because you inevitably become part of the collective force, and it doesn’t matter where you stand in relation to it, even if it’s against it — you only amplify the overall noise. To think that you’re opposing something is yet another illusion fed by the matrix, just like thinking that you’re changing anything.

  The law of the power of thought works in the same way. If you think — no matter what the tone, you still attract it. This is not unknown. But this law requires a very important clarification: we attract not so much what we think about, but what shapes us. You can think one way, but live another — a familiar, simple, temporary, illusory, advantageous way. And a gap forms between what we want to become and what we actually are. Therefore, sometimes even what a person considers to be a struggle or resistance is actually self‑deception.  

 Peace cannot be achieved through war, just as it is impossible to preserve a forest by starting a fire. The only problem is that nature is stronger than anything else, for everything consists of it. And we can live according to our own system as long as we like, but sooner or later the need to dissolve, to stop controlling, to contemplate, and all these things that fall into the category of “stretching things out as much as possible, prolonging them, squeezing the most out of them, using them up, burning them, getting our fill, taking control, systematizing, simplifying”—all of these things become our own whim and come to the forefront. We are born into this, we die in this, and the controlled segment of life between two points that, in fact, coincide, plays no role. There is no meaning in life. But if you have found it, you are a natural and harmonious part of that force that “eternally wants good and eternally does evil.”

 To the question “what is strength?” the answer is very simple. Strength lies in naturalness. Just as one cannot fight against oneself, against one’s will, against one’s desire, against one’s intention, against the masses, against the elements, so we are all powerless in the face of that of which we are a small part and of which we are entirely composed.
