Victor Pelevin: When you feel anger or pain, you appear Bashny.Net

"When you feel anger or pain, you appear. You would think that there is someone who has them covered - and more acts and suffers already it. You just do not know that it is not obliged to respond to these feelings and thoughts. The response begins with the fact that you agree to regard them as their own. But chemical whip snapping in your brain, not your highest lord. You just never were questioned his right to command.

If you learn to see his punches, they lose their power over you. And you can see them only from one angle - disappears when the one who receives them at his own expense

. There is an ancient Orcish proverb: "Where are the best? Where we do not have ... »

What does it mean?

While you look at the world from bumps, which have learned to count "a", you pay for it is very high rents. But what you get in return? You do not even know what kind of pests chase your "I" in his nightmarish journey through a moment ...




The average world inside the human head can truly be called the suffering of the world. The main reason lies in the fact that the acts "negative law teaspoon" in our minds. It sounds like - "if a bucket of jam added a teaspoon of shit, get a bucket of shit." In other words, we are much easier to make unhappy than happy.

Imagine a magician who, sitting in front of a lamp, puts his fingers into complex shapes, so that the shadows on the wall there are animals, birds, devils and beauties. And then he gets scared to death of these devils, he falls in love and runs away from the tigers, forgetting that it's just the shadows of his fingers. One could call him a fool, do not be that he is simply a magician by shadow marks "focus" and "man."



The whole world around - a theater of shadows; fingers magician - these are the words, and the lamp - the mind. In reality, there is not only the items on that hint shadows, but even themselves shadows - there is only light, which in some places more and in others less. So what to expect? And why be afraid? However, speaking about this, I do not take the lamp of truth in your hands, and just before her fingers wildebeest words, creating more and more shade.

Therefore, it is better not to open his mouth. "
