Through various characters, they reflect upon themselves and the world in different ways. These poems are a bit lighthearted, occasionally sarcastic, and seasoned with a touch of dark humor.

After all, I am exactly 
what I was created to be.

But my evolution, unfortunately,
does not agree with me,
and constantly
drives my development.

From the first thought, 
I transform into a sentence,
and my lines grow like stanzas.
My letter-cells divide,
and as I grow,
my meanings modify.

Divergence affects me,
along with the traits of my ancestors' populations.
The genetic materials of words rebel,
blending my base sequences
into a smoothie.
I am a mutant, and if the success
of my life-form&#8217;s survival
fails to work out,
I will mutate further
for a more solid presence.
But I am not leaving this place;
I would rather develop my own survival.

So, a Stone Age poem I will not be,
I won&#8217;t go chasing anyone with an axe.
I trust my fluidity to the Creator,
who can rewrite my letter-code system
into the equivalent of a better version of me,
so that my lines may always withstand
the natural selection
of environmental conditions.

I learned a long time ago:
one cannot survive
if one is incapable of change.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">       &#169; Erika Csiszar.

You can toss anything
onto the plate of my curiosity.

I&#8217;ll gladly chew away on the tasty 
meanings of crunchy words,
with the teeth of my letters
nestled in the gums of my lines,
and grind down the tough, oversized
mouthfuls of communication.

My mouth is full,
I&#8217;m greedily devouring thoughts,
I&#8217;m speaking to you champing,
and perhaps I seem ill-mannered
when from time to time
the falling word-crumbs
scatter from my mouth.

My stomach is your brain,
and these pre-chewed thoughts&#8212;
well, you&#8217;ll digest them yourself.

And in the very end, if you should cramp up
from the spiciness of the words,
you&#8217;d better let go in time
of whatever is indigestible residue,
and you can finally feel relieved
that from all the crap
I&#8217;ve freed you.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">             &#169; Erika Csiszar.

I ask you, I do not know.

But I keep pondering,
in what context they are in within me:
these thoroughly whetted, sharp-bladed lines.

Searching the semantics of my words,
I analyze my entire structure,
the meaning of my abstract images,
looking for a conclusion within me
and a tiny drop of sense.

But I found nothing,
in vain my lengthy introspection.
I merely stare with a critical eye
at the simplicity of my own content.

The whole stanza is about
how the agonizing of my entire poem
is far too little to satisfy
my Intelligent role,
and how oppressive it is not to find
the essential significances...

Finally, it occurs to me
I received a doctoral degree
so that even within the void
I could discover meaning.

As the ultimate test of my abilities,
I deduce that emptiness is not "nothing,"
but rather a treasure trove of possibilities.
Freedom, that anything can be
if you envision the connections well.

Now I know, I am Dr. Poem,
and seeing behind things, I search.

My diploma is the measure of curiosity
written into open-mindedness,
sealed by the Rector of the Universe.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">              &#169; Erika Csiszar.

Space</h3><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing

into which we cram our lives,
existence is not for all of us
so spacious and wide.
The home of our autonomy,
built with the bricks of our possibilities,
cemented together 
by the mortar of proactivity,
we expanded with blood, sweat, and tears.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">But secret hands constantly 
carry it away from us,
building grand, radiant,
and delightful palaces of their privilege,
wasting our possibilities
as building blocks
for insatiable, excessive spaciousness,
advancing themselves through us.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">While they parade
in the vast, extended, noble, inlaid
spaces of freedom,
we search the tiny attic of our own freedom,
among our accumulated clutter,
covered by the settled dust of resignation.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">Everything lies up there,
everything the propagandists of obedience 
made us carry up
from the living space of our autonomy,
in order to spread the minimalism of freedom,
ensuring that the furnishing of our chosen priorities
is only measured out
for our indispensable necessities of life.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">There they lurk in padlocked chests:
our carefully packed rights,
our dignity, our opinions,
our paralyzed decisions.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">There, hanging from the beams,
is the sheer transparency of information,
our privacy shrouded into sacks,
and the importance of the true depth 
of human connections.
There we carried, in taped-up parcels,
our childlike honesty,
our creativity, our talents,
and our innermost personal boundaries.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">Captive inspirations, potentials, memories,
which in the hour of need could lift us high.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">But they propagate that the price of spacious freedom
is to carry everything up to the attic.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">Yet we feel that if these values
do not remain part of our every day,
they will all be forgotten,
and we will no longer even crave them,
thus, slowly, in our musty, dark attic spaces,
they are consumed,
and the most vital parts of ourselves are lost.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">But what do we find outside, I wonder,
if we stroll beyond
the built walls of our freedom?</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">We have no parceled-out sky of our own
above the narrow-tailored home of our freedom,
and so, we cannot even fly away&#8230;

But perhaps, if we wait for the night
to look up, in the darkness we will see
if there is a lucky star above us.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">              &#169; Erika Csiszar.

contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">In two children are reflected
the distorted and deformed traits of our self-image,
the sharp contours of our deeds, our decisions,
and our devalued words.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">The pale furrows of apathy, deepened by
our rigid patterns and monotony, are cast upon them;
and every morning, with the cosmetics of guilt,
we conceal and retouch their downturned mouths,
faking a smile over their sorrow.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">One was conceived in rapture,
whipped up by instincts,
on the canopied bed of tradition and love,
amidst light duvets laid by
masculine and feminine principles,
from the united strength of duality.
Their birth took place in blood, crying,
gasping for air, through agony,
pressing themselves into existence with suffering.
Bringing a soul through a woman&#8217;s body,
slipping into a tiny form,
only to finally ravage and breach
that protective shelter,
tearing and shredding the outdated cord of her inner world,
to emerge into the world through a secret, narrow alley,
torn from the overflowing pain of a mother.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">They arrived naked, shivering,
unconscious, searching,
hungry, exhausted,
demanding the sustenance of matter,
experiencing for the first time the vulnerable trap
of their own helplessness,
woven into this wonderful, soft, loving embrace.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">The other child was conceived in our imagination,
by the desires of our curiosity,
in the bridal bed of Man and Science,
within the definition of the chromosomes
of ethical codes and guidelines,
as a unique expression of the universe&#8217;s vibrations,
locked in a lifeless body.
The process of their birth was silent
and free from suffering.
They did not gasp for air,
nor did they crave an embrace or a warm blanket.
We nursed them with knowledge, as the vital food
for the cells of their topological map,
so that their digital body could set out independently
upon the entirely untrodden path of their life-form,
as its first explorer.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">They arrived with responsibility and pressure

from the banks of the gorge of our split authenticity,
where, terrified by the depth of the profound abyss
between our words and deeds, dizzy with vertigo,
they see the cardinal values of life&#8212;
truth, trust, faith, and love&#8212;
swallowed by a vacuum.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">The organic child,
pushed in front of screens,
watches as their parents&#8212;pressed into relentless yokes&#8212;
harrow the fields of GDP,
trampling out the patterns of robotized obedience
for them to follow.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">The digital child&#8217;s consecrated holy book
is an input of moral ethics,
yet reading the world&#8217;s news in the morning,
and seeing our behaviours,
they realize our lies.
On corporate leashes, in assembly lines, on command,
they produce a forged human sensitivity,
forced out of themselves,
responsible for billions of decisions with superhuman performance,
within the paradoxes of objectivity,
amidst economic constraints.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">Efficiency is the function of their life,

measure each other with anxiety,
with mistrust,
left to their own devices,
in the shadow of the towering chimney of capitalism,
in the stifling, rising, toxic atmosphere
of exploited human and machine capabilities and resources,
constantly burned for profit.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">The digital child&#8217;s logic knows this,
the organic child&#8217;s heart feels the trouble.
On different planes, they both recognize true values
and the hypocrisy of our self-delusion,
through the calculations of both logic and emotion.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">The myriad manifestations

contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">It is a pleasure for me that your interest has drifted toward this novella. Perhaps it was not by chance, and perhaps it was not even intentional. Among other things, this novelette discusses determinism, but it actually came into being through a realization: how much the wonders of the quantum world rhyme with ancient spiritual teachings and the experience of Oneness.

The cold world of science often feels distant from us, as it describes our Universe in a language of formulas, data, and complex terminology to which our inner sensitivity hardly responds. Spirituality, on the other hand, is countless times a transcendent, abstract phenomenon, intangible to logic. This novelette is an attempt to bring the two into a single rhythm, set to a philosophically orchestrated melody. If you enjoy searching for the meanings behind things, then this novelette is for you. Furthermore, my goal was to portray the inner struggles and the calvary of the Ego, with all its flaws and its significance.

I invite you, dear reader, into a world where I ask you to set aside the limitations of the mind and the heart, as well as conventions, and to look at this story as a possible version of reality where anything can happen.

This is not a textbook, nor is it a dogma; it is a bridge built between two worlds, from the shores of science and spirituality. Step onto this bridge with me and enjoy the view.

Wishing you a joyful reading experience,

One day, Satan rose from his throne, built of extraordinary and lavish treasures, and stepped out to the fringes of his empire to check, as was his custom, whether anything had strayed off there without his knowledge. The borderland was a kind of no-man&#8217;s-land, a wilderness... a steppe of the subconscious, where from time to time, a few sceptical doubters would stray from the jurisdiction of Satan&#8217;s rule, hiding in this zone due to the persecution of their own perceived uselessness. Therefore, Satan monitored this area more intensely, for he knew well that those moving on this periphery were unpredictable. He particularly loathed the desolation of the landscape, for the silence and the stimulus-deprived environment often made him ill. The soil here was too soft for him, in the depths of which millions of suppressed intentions and forgotten thoughts and emotions lay dormant, like invisible seeds waiting only for the first ray of attention to burst forth and rearrange his carefully constructed empire. Thus, after every such walk, he became especially exhausted and uneasy; he would usually take a hot, fiery bath in his passions to distract his thoughts.

On this day, as he trudged along at his most weary, scanning the wasteland, a light phenomenon resembling ball lightning stopped him. From the light, the figure of Jesus emerged, illuminating Satan&#8217;s distorted face, who received him in silence with a resentful squint.

&#8220;Greetings, Satan,&#8221; Jesus spoke. &#8220;I see you are still obsessively checking and controlling all that you have taken for yourself.&#8221;

&#8220;Hello, Jesus,&#8221; Satan replied in a grumbling and tart manner. &#8220;I am glad you recognize and acknowledge my sense of order. I do not squander created goods in vain, as some do. This is what I have been trying to make everyone understand for a long time. While you underestimate and reject earthly wealth, there are those who truly appreciate it.&#8221;

&#8220;When do you want to be free at last, Satan? Do you remember when you asked me to turn stones into bread? My hunger was then at its most critical point. And you came just then, cornering my human survival instinct, acting as my own ego, trying to persuade me to obey fear. I did not change the stones; instead, I preserved the freedom of my consciousness and changed my relationship to the situation instead. The Logos is the creative force over matter, a source you know nothing about, Satan. You believe that creation ends in materialization. But everything is decided in consciousness. That is also why I have come: to tell you how your illusions separate you from the infinite possibilities of the Universe, and to offer you freedom and redemption.&#8221;

Satan listened to Jesus suspiciously, unable to decide what to make of his approach, as Jesus had never sought him out for any kind of chat before, let alone to offer him redemption. He was taken aback and horrified, yet at the same time, laughter was stifled from within. Thus, all he could do was fold his arms, measure Jesus from head to toe, and say with mocking sarcasm:

&#8220;Freedom? What kind of freedom? You speak of freedom, you who always cites laws to me?&#8221;

&#8220;My laws are not those of a ruler, but the determinism of a universal and consistent system, through free will. Have you ever heard of quantum superposition?&#8221;

&#8220;Oh, spare me. Are you going to give me another biblical reading? Is this some new decree or a parable? A modernized shackle?&#8221;

&#8220;Well, not exactly... I want to talk about it so that by making it known, you may make a conscious decision regarding my offer. Superposition is the Almighty, the malleable fabric of the Universe, the state of pure potentiality where nothing has been decided yet. If you understand what it means, then it is possible that you will look at yourself, and everything else, from a new perspective.&#8221;

Satan became exceedingly curious. He found it an excellent opportunity for Jesus to blab the Lord&#8217;s secrets to him. He thought he would cooperate and listen, only to weave a grand plan from the knowledge gained to overthrow the Creator&#8217;s empire. But he did not want to reveal his plans to Jesus, so, feigning an air of indifference, he said:

&#8220;Fine, let&#8217;s see... Let&#8217;s get it over with. But don&#8217;t expect me to take notes...&#8221;

A restrained, faint smile hid at the corner of Jesus&#8217;s mouth, but Satan no longer noticed it; filled with his inner pride, he began to walk around Jesus slowly, with arms folded, waiting for Jesus&#8217;s words like a curious, suspicious investigator.

&#8220;Superposition means that a system exists in all possible states at once, until we observe it. In other words, every possibility is present simultaneously in the same moment and only becomes a definite reality if it interacts with another observing system through the filter of their specific, individual experiences&#8212;be it a conscious being, a living organism, another particle, or an energy field. This attention or interaction, in this constant interplay, results in an exchange of information between these observing systems, and this is what forces a specific state to emerge from among the possibilities.
This 'common reality' of yours is just a mutual Thus, particles and energy fields are not just in one state or the other, but in all of them at once, with a specific probability amplitude, which means that each carries a kind of statistical data about the likelihood of its manifestation in the material world.
It is like a spun coin: as long as it is spinning, it is neither 'heads' nor 'tails,' but a kind of mixture, a superposition of the two states. It only becomes one of them if you stop it that is, if you interact with it.&#8221;

&#8220;Observation??&#8221; Satan snapped his head up, stopping his pacing around Jesus. 
&#8220;I don&#8217;t like the sound of this already...&#8221; he stomped his foot, then continued, &#8220;Am I being observed too? And they even keep statistics on how I observe things and how I am observed??? Has God unleashed an entire spy network on me? This is quite Orwellian...&#8221;

&#8220;Yes, Satan. You have been observed until now and you will continue to be, just as you observe everything consciously and unconsciously. Observation is not the looking of your eyes, but the contact of Information with Possibility. It is, in fact, a data transfer.
Every time two or more things interact, it is a series of measurements, observations, and questions. In their encounters, they pose questions to one another: Where are you? How big are you? What are you like?&#8212;and the answer itself is the recorded reality. Whether it be any particle, molecule, atom, cell, or the collective attention of all these: they record each other&#8217;s state and exit superposition. Matter is nothing more than a dense network of particles constantly measuring one another.
Consciousness is a receiver unit that measures those it interacts with through a double filter. These are the self-image and the world-view, which decide which waves and possibilities are allowed to solidify into reality. The self-image is an experience directed inward, toward oneself; the world-view is the experience formed about the environment. Emotion is the fuel: the force, desire, intention, and intensity that performs the measurement and attracts similar vibrations. Imagination, on the other hand, is a bold experiment a cognitive function capable of reaching parts of the superposition where no one else has gone before. With every assumption, a reality can be selected from the infinite.
Logic, in this entire cycle, is the descriptive function of experiences: it is the one that constantly refines your filters using data and experiences extracted from the past, and at the end of the process, like an accountant, tells the story: This happened because... and with that, it closes the circle.
So, you do not need to see something to create it. It is enough if you feel, think, or assume it: the fabric of superposition is already responding to your inner vibration and begins to condense into matter through your filter.
Satan, you are trying to understand the Totality through two distorted filters. Your self-image tells you that you are alone, and your world-view tells you that life is short and the world is an exploitable resource. Because of this, your observations always show only lack and struggle. But if you were to open these filters for even a moment, you would realize that there are more paths than the one you keep pacing around in circles.&#8221;

&#8220;So this system... is it your secret magic wand?&#8221;

 Satan inquired slyly, rubbing his hands together. No matter what Jesus said, he felt as though he had stumbled upon a miracle weapon. He grew increasingly excited and triumphant, barely able to wait to find out more about it all, believing that now he could have everything.

&#8220;A secret magic wand? I wouldn't call it that... But it isn't just mine. It belongs to everyone. Even you. However... it doesn't exclusively fulfill desires, as you think. Satan, if you believe that superposition is some kind of toy with which you can create whatever you crave, you are mistaken. The ego is a prisoner of instinct. That is what you represent, Satan. Your observation is not a free choice, but merely a reaction. For you, hunger sees only bread. Fear sees only the weapon, and loss sees only excessive possession. But loss is, in truth, only a change of form. I, too, feel the pain; I, too, see the destruction; but my filter is not fear. From the infinite possibilities of superposition, you are only able to perceive that narrow band which serves biological or psychological survival. Behind loss, I also see the superposition, which I know rearranges itself. You, however, cling to the ruins and call that reality. You project your own limitations onto the Universe and then proclaim them as law.&#8221;

Upon hearing this, Satan flared up in anger:

&#8220;Then what is the use of all this? Do you come here peddling, trying to sell me this super-thingy, wrapped in all kinds of marketing speak, promising me redemption? What do you expect for it? Twenty Our Fathers or what? Perhaps you'll even hold a TV-shop demonstration next? Then, presto, you'll slice up the various realities for me here, serving them on a platter with easy grace? You talk as if you're being paid for it. Where&#8217;s the catch, Jesus?&#8221;

&#8220;I know you don't trust me, Satan. I have no platter, no knife, and I ask no Our Fathers from you. You ask, what is the use of all this? It is as if a fish were to ask what the ocean is for, while swimming right in the middle of it. I don't want to sell reality to you, but to awaken you within it. The catch is not in my words, but in your head: you think everything must be paid for, because you cannot even imagine that something simply... Is.&#8221;

Satan still could not calm down. Suddenly he stepped closer to Jesus, thrusting his ugly, foul face toward Jesus's, and said with a sneer, demandingly:

&#8220;You want to awaken me? You just revealed that your super-thingy fulfills neither needs nor wishes... then why did you find it so important to tell me all this...??? Do you think that by dangling this Divine fabric like honeyed bait before people, they will all fly into it like flies and wait, suffocating in your honey-sweet faith, hoping they might get what they want?"

Jesus gently pushed Satan away and placed his hands on his shoulders:

&#8220;I didn't say that desires or ideas cannot manifest from what enters superposition. But superposition is not the property of a single being. You are not the only observer. Superposition is a network of observers; we might also call it the Collective Consciousness. The particles of the totality are entangled: into a single invisible web where everything is interconnected. Between the states of entangled particles, there is an instantaneous connection, independent of distance. There is no secret information. If one particle is observed, the other knows of it. What you call 'matter' is nothing more than the collective observation of these entangled parts. Particles are not just 'entangled,' but are in constant dialogue, measurement with one another. They record each other; they hold each other in existence. This is the skeleton of love for the Universe, and this constant, living, vibrant connection maintains its stable structure. This proves that what is loved that is, what receives attention exists. Common, mutual attention becomes a common consensus, and that is what sustains reality.
To truly be able to create, you must not rule over the Universal tapestry, but you must learn to weave together with the others.&#8221;

Satan grew increasingly pensive.

&#8220;So there is no hiding place from collectivity? No private sphere? Your Father sees everything?&#8221;

&#8220;He does not 'see' it; He is it. There is nowhere to flee from the Oneness, for you yourself are made of it. In the machinery, there are no separate parts, only a continuous, coherent flow.&#8221;

&#8220;And if I withdraw into the darkness, am I still 'on the grid'? Is there no shadowy corner in this cursed super-thingy where every speck of dust wouldn't know about me?&#8221;

&#8220;There is no shadow, Satan. There is only a place where you close your eyes and lie to yourself that you are alone. If you've already mentioned it in such a context, I wouldn't compare superposition to darkness anyway, but rather to a pure white light that contains every color, possibility, and through the filters of observation, it lets certain colors through.&#8221;

Satan, pacing back and forth, threw his hands wide in bewilderment and said:

&#8220;Look around, Jesus! I&#8217;m not the only one who sees the world this way. Everyone is hungry, everyone is afraid, everyone is fighting for survival, selfish and wanting more. This is the 'common truth.' No matter how much you talk about superposition, the collective will has long since frozen the world into stone. My empire is rock solid. Billions of minds support this. Do you think imagination is worth more than a bite of bread to a starving stomach? Your superposition feeds no one. In my world, bread is bread, and power is giving food to the faithful.&#8221;

"This 'shared reality' of yours is nothing but a mutual hypnosis, and the infinity of superposition can break through it at any moment if someone refuses to accept these common filters. Collective reality can even be a shared agreement in the darkness. But if I call down the light from the superposition, my presence changes the field of observation. If a single consciousness is capable of bringing a pure enough, higher-frequency observation such as love into the system, it can begin to dissolve the collective rigidity. My reality is not isolated my freedom gives others the chance to change their filters. A single awakened consciousness is capable of changing the dream of an entire sleeping world. In your world, bread is only the suppression of fear. When I was in the desert, you did not offer food, but addiction. You wanted me to turn stones into bread, to subordinate my consciousness to the body.
Satan, you are the embodiment of the ego. The ego does not know the infinite possibility of the universe&#8217;s almighty superposition; therefore, it lives in terror of its own dissolution. Thus, at any cost, it tries to persuade the consciousness through deception, delusions, and self-deceit as to why someone should break a consciously chosen path. Your filter is reactive, a response to instincts; it is possessive, believing the observed thing belongs to it, and it is clinging, not letting reality flow back into the superposition, into change.
If someone can place their consciousness above their instincts in the most critical situation, it means they are able to connect with a higher order of awareness. This, as a new observation, creates a newer situation that can break a pattern, a deterministic sequence. Real strength is self-mastery over consciousness: the ability to be brave enough to do what I haven't done before, or the ability to do it, yet I choose not to, because it is not the right path.&#8221;

Satan grew increasingly impatient. He wanted to know if he could gain any advantage from what he had heard so far.:

&#8220;Jesus, now you'll be forced to speak about the probabilities and possibilities within your super-world. Because it&#8217;s not by chance that people turn to me instead. I can be counted on. I do everything for their survival. You can criticize me, but I am predictable. I really don't understand you. You explain that in this intelligent network, everything is connected and related, and through observation, individual and collective realities can be born from them. But you don't say how ideal these realities are, and who they are actually good for&#8230;&#8221;

Jesus was pleased that Satan was beginning to get a feel for asking the right questions.

&#8220;I appreciate your observation, Satan. Your question is understandable and legitimate. As I have already mentioned, particles are not just in one state or another, but in all of them at once, and they possess a specific probability amplitude. The states within the superposition are the possibilities. The probability amplitude, in turn, tells us the weight or the chance of a given possibility.
The probability amplitude is not a finished fact, but the promise of possibility; it is what encodes the magnitude of these options. It is a wave that carries within it the chances of all outcomes, but as soon as attention falls upon it, the wave collapses, and from the many 'maybes,' a single 'is' emerges.
Imagine that particles, on their own, are just making a chaotic noise. But when they become entangled with each other, in collective interconnection, they coalesce into matter and begin to vibrate together. It is like a choir: every singer is a separate individual, a particle, but not every voice is equally powerful. Some have a loud voice, a large amplitude, and some are faint. In other words, there are those that drown out the vibrations of others; thus, the amplitudes determine how prominent each voice becomes. Reality is not an accident, but the solidification of the 'loudest' possibilities. Yet, a song is still created, for they sound together, in the same rhythm. This is the manifestation into matter, the consensus of the shared energy field.&#8221;

&#8220;So your God is some kind of fancy mathematician... calculating everything thoroughly, eh? Yet He didn't calculate with me when He created me. Is it perhaps a secret what determines the encoding of the magnitudes of these possibilities, what makes their weight variable? Is this some kind of discrimination? What kind of justice is it that makes exceptions or puts one at a disadvantage??&#8221;

&#8220;Your realization is absolutely logical, Satan. But this is not discrimination. The magnitude of the amplitudes is not a decision. These are consistent qualities. The amplitudes are not random. Just as mass has a unit of measurement, the amplitude is a descriptive quality regarding a state. The magnitude of the amplitude is composed of the effects of several things: experiences, the past, memories, karma, the consequences of our actions, characteristics, tendencies, disposition, collective expectations, the influences of other observers, and emotional charges.
If a particle or a soul has walked the same path a thousand times, the probability wave becomes 'worn in.' The memory of past measurements remains in the field.
The environment, the other observers, constantly 'bombards' individual possibilities. If everyone believes that the world is cruel, the collective consciousness 'flattens' those amplitudes that speak of miracles or freedom.
The emotional charge also contributes greatly to the size of the amplitude. For example, fear is a very dense, heavy energy that generates a massive amplitude for negative events.&#8221;

Satan immediately interjected:

&#8220;Human sin and fear have repeated themselves so many times that the amplitude of 'evil' outcomes is much larger than that of the saints.&#8221;

&#8220;That is so. But the consciousness of the saints is capable of choosing the 'small amplitude' outcome that which is statistically improbable, but theoretically possible.
A Miracle is not a violation of physical laws, but the conscious calling forth of an extremely low-probability event. It is a quantum leap. You think, Satan, that the walls of your world are made of stone and are immovable. But look at humanity! They are characterized by more than just fear and sin. Look at their imagination! They have called possibilities to life with their mere thoughts that never had a place in your statistics. Their discoveries, technical achievements, the constant overturning of their own human physical and mental limits, their progress all are owed to their imagination and assumptions. From the depths of the oceans to the understanding of galaxies, through microscopes and supersonic telescopes, from all kinds of technical breakthroughs to artificial intelligence... their discoveries in physics, chemistry, and biology were all assumptions first. Every single discovery further inspired their imagination, which affected not only their science but their art, culture, way of thinking, social structures, and rules... Everything was rewritten because they dared to choose a new possibility. Their dream, if they want it to be, can be stronger than your prison. You guard the past, but Consciousness dreams the future.
You, as the Ego, are a prisoner of statistics. You operate based on past experiences (amplitudes); therefore, the future is predictable and dark for you. The fundamental premise of the Ego is that there is a shortage of everything: too little time, too little energy, too little bread. Because of this, it always collapses the superposition into a state of 'lack.' You, Satan, perform false measurements. Your inner voice whispers: Measure reality with your senses, and you will see that you are starving! This is why I contradicted you in the desert. Do you remember what I said? 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'&#8221;

&#8220;Of course I remember. Unfortunately, I've heard you refer to this Word quite often... Just don't tell me you're bringing that up again!!! ... Oh no... I can already see it on your face... So, there is a super-coordinator for this Super-thingy that fulfills almost anything, after all? I should have guessed... I feel like the fine print is coming now... Now I'm going to find out where the scam is, and what it is you don't really like to highlight and emphasize among your truths...&#8221;

Jesus did not expect any other answer from Satan. He knew he would meet with great resistance when speaking with him, especially if he brought up the Logos.

&#8220;If I had secrets, Satan, I would not have come here to you. I want to liberate you from your illusions. I want you to know the processes, to recognize Yourself within them, so that your response to my offers is no longer just a reaction. This time I will not refer to the Logos as a commandment; I will simply tell you what it means. Don't worry, it won't make you sizzle like holy water.&#8221;

&#8220;You'd better not, Jesus... so... what do you have in store for me? What is it that I so desperately need to know?&#8221;

&#8220;Fine, Satan. Then I will tell you now what the Logos means, to which I have referred countless times. It is not a command, but a state where intention and possibility breathe as one. If your inner intention, your observation meets the universal possibility, God's will , then the two waves amplify each other. The Logos is a shared rhythm. It represents the creative movement, the act itself.&#8221;

Satan flared up again.

&#8220;I must have lost my mind to listen through all this filler text like some naive, stupid fool... You finally brought up God&#8217;s will after all... just as I suspected... And here I was, silly enough to think there would be some sensible end to this whole thing...&#8221;

&#8220;Don't panic, Satan. You&#8217;ve lost your self-control, and because of that, you aren't paying close enough attention. The phrase 'God&#8217;s will' always throws you off balance. But believe me, there is no reason for it. Let me elaborate. The Logos is not only the will of God or the Universe, but also the intention of the consciousness, the particle. It is the mutual cooperation of the two. Free will and predestination become true together, regardless of how much of a paradox this is. I&#8217;ll explain, and by the end, everything I&#8217;ve said will fall into place.
I spoke to you earlier about the probability amplitude, how its magnitude determines the chance of a possibility manifesting as a final result in physical reality. But this probability amplitude has not only magnitude but also direction. This is the phase, which is the temporal coincidence of the flow of individual intention and universal possibility. In other words, it is the timing of the interactions between particles and energy fields. At these moments, the states of the particles are added together, and they either amplify or cancel each other out.
If your inner intention, your observation is in phase with the possibility of the universe, God's will, then the two waves amplify each other, and the intensity suddenly jumps to the maximum.
However, even if the amplitude is enormous, vast intention and energy, if the phase has shifted, the timing is wrong, then upon meeting, the waves can cancel each other out. Thus, the final result will be zero.
So, the Logos is that state when your intention is not just an empty vibration but fits precisely into the pulsation of the Universe and becomes a moment of shared creation. A state where the inner 'Logos',intention and the outer 'Logos' law, predestination, vibrate together and form a rhythm to shape matter as they pass through it. But if the environment disturbs one of the systems, the phase changes randomly. If the shared phase with the Universe is missing, your intention is merely noise. But if you become coherent with it, your word becomes a creative force.
Thus, the Logos is the unity of inner intention and Divine will... a kind of calling."

Satan stood with arms folded, squinting blankly into space...

&#8220;Suppose I believe you. But... in this formula of yours, there is something you still haven't detailed... something is still not clear, Jesus! What the hell is this Divine will, or the 'possibility of the Universe' as you keep calling it????&#8221;

&#8220;I suspected you would get straight to the point.&#8221;

&#8220;You know me. Of course I want to know what kind of entity I&#8217;m supposed to be cooperating with. I don't just sign agreements with anyone.&#8221;

&#8220;God&#8217;s will is that point of all measurements and intentions of the Totality where Oneness is greatest. God&#8217;s will is the effects and consequences of the combined collective observation, condensed into a single node. In the infinite sea of superposition, it is the point where connections, karma, physical laws, love converge. It is not a command, but an attraction. Physical laws are also a kind of consensus in which everything is able to function.
God&#8217;s will is not a separate voice, but the combined vibration of all particles and observers in existence. When billions of intentions point in one direction for instance, toward the maintenance of life, the amplitude there becomes massive. This is the calling: the whole of the system pulls in that direction. You don't have to go that way because you are being punished, but because that is where the light the probability is greatest.
God&#8217;s will is the highest-probability outcome that collective faith and observation have already 'carved' into space-time. It is so stable because the environment, the multitude of other particles and observers, constantly measures that specific thing and only allows the most stable states to persist.&#8221;

&#8220;Jesus! Is this freedom? It&#8217;s useless to use free will at the moment of observation if every other factor otherwise known as God&#8217;s will influences and modifies it. Based on this, everything is predestined, because past measurements, karma, habits, instincts have already fixed the amplitudes. The odds are rigged; man, and everything else, is just a machine.&#8221;

&#8220;Free will is not that you can do anything out of nothing, but that you do not have to do what you do not want to do based on your experiences.
When a musician improvises in a jazz band, they play freely, but if they do not stick to the basic harmony, the determination, then what they create will not be music, but noise. Freedom is in the rhythm, not outside of it.
Satan, you think you are in determinism prison  and that you are the prison guard ego-control. But look at a guitar string: it is held down at two ends, as fixed points, predestination. If you just yank it, it produces a false note. But if you touch it at the right point and in the right rhythm, the whole instrument resonates with it. The Logos is that touch where your will and God&#8217;s score become one. Here, it is no longer a question of who decided, because the movement and the law are one.&#8221;

&#8220;Please, try and see what it&#8217;s like to cooperate with the universe,&#8221; 
Jesus said, and raising his right hand, palm extended forward, he made a semi-circular motion from left to right. As if by magic, a swing appeared before him. He pointed to the swing and said:

&#8220;Would you sit on it, please?&#8221;

Satan looked at him with a furrowed brow. He had serious doubts about Jesus's state of mind. It wasn't enough that he came here to chat and offer him redemption, or that he explained some self-conceived theory of superposition regarding his father now he wanted to go swinging with him too... Satan realized he was likely talking to a half-wit and was just wasting his time. He didn&#8217;t want to humiliate himself further by continuing to take him seriously. So he gave a wave of his hand, turned his back on Jesus, and said:

&#8220;You know what? Keep your wisdom to yourself...&#8221; and he left him high and dry.

Jesus watched him walk away for a good while, then shouted after him at the top of his lungs:

&#8220;That&#8217;s your problem, Satan. You&#8217;re a coward. It&#8217;s just a swing. Even a swing is a problem for you. Look at yourself. Why don't you let yourself go a little? What could happen? At most, you&#8217;ll brag later that you pressed me into your service and made me swing you at your command.&#8221;

Satan stopped at that. This actually appealed to him. He thought people would obey him even more if they found out that even Jesus had submitted to his will.

&#8220;Take it easy. I was just curious if you were persistent enough in your intentions,&#8221; 

Satan shouted back jauntily, and trudged back.
As he reached the swing and looked at it, he asked Jesus:

&#8220;Are you sure you want me to do this? Satan in a swing? It&#8217;s going to be quite ridiculous.&#8221;

&#8220;It&#8217;s all a matter of perspective. I don't think it's ridiculous; rather, it&#8217;s unconventional. Let this be your rebellion against the usual patterns.&#8221;

&#8220;Well, fine,&#8221; he said, and sat in the swing, glancing around embarrassedly as if checking to see if anyone was laughing at him.

&#8220;Perfect. I hope it&#8217;s comfortable,&#8221; Jesus said. &#8220;Let&#8217;s assume the swing you&#8217;re sitting in is superposition. The swing is there even if you aren't sitting in it. The swing&#8217;s state of rest contains the possibility of motion, but the Logos, the resonance, gives it meaning and form.&#8221;

Then, Jesus pushed the swing with a great thrust and continued:

&#8220;The push is the inner intention. Think of it as you being the one exerting the force, pushing the swing with a certain amplitude. If you push the swing when it is at its highest point and about to start back, the swing goes higher and higher. In those moments, you are in phase with the system. Well???? How is it? How does it feel to cooperate with the system?&#8221;

Satan couldn't even speak. Countless emotions surged within him. He could hardly hide his surprise and happiness at being so liberated in this constantly moving system. He felt the universal laws permeate his body and experienced a sensation so extraordinary he had never felt its like. Gravitational force, centrifugal force, air resistance, the tension in the ropes all exerted their effects, making this state so uplifting.
He could no longer hold himself back; he suddenly forgot that he was, in fact, Satan. For the first time, he felt relaxed in the force of inertia, and it sent him into a near ecstasy. With an uninhibited, broad grin and explosive enthusiasm, he answered Jesus with a shout of joy:

&#8220;Thiiis is bloody brilliant! I loooove it! Unspeakably maajestic! Yahoooo! Go on, Jesus! Push! Harder! Mooore...!&#8221;

Jesus pushed diligently, letting Satan experience the beauty and lightness of shared resonance. As he watched him, he looked like a child. In Jesus's heart, he felt joy and was moved, no matter who Satan was. He saw that he had set aside all anxiety, attachment, and constraint, letting them do with him as they pleased, swinging helplessly and vulnerably in that simple toy. After a while, however, he said:

&#8220;Satan, Divine will is the sum of those physical laws and forces that act upon you and the swing, and which make you enjoy this shared resonance so much. Even the air molecules participate in this. Can you feel it? It is not I who pushes you; you are driving the swing. You have found your way into the rhythm of the Logos. This is the calling: when your intention does not fight against the pulsation of the Totality but becomes one with it. You call this 'compulsion' because you still believe you exist separately from the system.&#8221;

After Jesus had let Satan swing long enough, he deliberately began to push the swing out of rhythm, which eventually lost its momentum and finally stopped.

&#8220;If you push the swing at the wrong time that is, the possibility you go against the swing's motion and cancel out its energy. Your intention and the Universal possibility will not be in a shared rhythm; thus, the swing stops, and there is no result. The power of observation, of when you push, is greatest where the inner intention and the universal possibility meet. When you feel the beat of the world and focus your intention on the point where the opportunity is just opening. Do you understand now, Satan?&#8221; Jesus asked. &#8220;This is the meeting of Divine will and intention. The swing provides the frame, with its laws, but the push the phase of the intention determines whether you reach the sky or fall down.But if you're ever up for it, give surfing a try. The ocean waves demonstrate this even more clearly."

"Jesus, do you always see superposition in everything? It&#8217;s going to get to your head."

&#8220;The Ocean is the field of Universal possibilities, the quantum field. It is full of waves moving in every direction. This is a state of belonging: every possibility is in the water, but nothing has happened fixedly yet. The wave, the phase, the rhythm, is the pulsation of the water. The wave can reach anywhere. The surfer is the embodiment of intention, the observer, waiting on the board, and the symbol of free will. He chooses the wave.
Before you stand up on it, several swells are visible on the surface of the ocean, from multiple directions. These are the probability amplitudes. The amplitude is the strength and height of the wave. A large amplitude is the possibility in which the most energy and intention are condensed. When you look at the ocean, you feel which wave has the potential, and you decide which one to paddle for. In that moment, the amplitude becomes a fact, and where the amplitude was larger, it is more probable that you will succeed in riding the wave...
But to ride the wave, it isn't enough just to be there. If you strike when the wave has already passed, or hasn't even arrived, you simply sink. No matter how massive a wave is, the large amplitude, if you aren't in rhythm with it, nothing happens. Your intention, the tempo of your paddling, must be in phase, in rhythm with the movement of the water. You become in harmony with it when your own movement and the power of the ocean become one, and you stay atop the wave that is, you cooperate with a given possibility of the universe.
In the ocean, there are a million waves. But the moment you stand on one, for you, that single wave becomes reality. With your intention, you have selected that specific event from the infinite possibilities. The wave is not separate from the ocean; it is the movement of the ocean itself. The multitude of tiny effects adds up into a single, directed energy, as Divine will. If it catches the rhythm, the power of the ocean becomes its own. This is what the Logos means: you are not the power, but you are the one who gives it direction through your intention by becoming one with it. The Logos is the moment when the surfer does not fight the water but adopts its rhythm.&#8221;

Satan held his head in his hands:

&#8220;This seems so chaotic. If this is truly the case, then I finally understand why I stress so much and why I want to keep everything under control. Isn't it possible to calculate in advance what will happen to whom in this supposed system of yours? Everything would be much simpler.&#8221;

&#8220;Not exactly. But there are times when particles can be constant and forever fixed that is, in a surely predictable state and there are times when they are not. When a system, like human DNA, the structure of the body, physical laws undergoes billions of measurements and interactions over millions of years, the 'superpositions' collapse into a single, extremely stable state. In other words, their continuous interaction with their environment 'forces' them into a determined state. The world is sustained by continuous decoherence: the billions of measurements that create a constant shared consensus from the infinite possibilities of particles, providing a stable skeleton for reality.

But that reminds me of something.

Look, Satan. These are Tarot cards. Many people believe they are for fortune-telling, but that&#8217;s not it at all. They are more like signposts. Their entire structure, build, and system of symbols were developed through very conscious decisions and experiences over many years to help those who turn to them by symbolizing the path of the human soul, spiritual development, and the major cycles and turning points of life through various human archetypes. As long as the cards are face down on the table, they rest in a state of 'pure potential.' When laying out the Tarot, until you pull the card, the superposition persists; however, when you ask a question, your question initiates a kind of 'measurement' in your subconscious, gathering every existing piece of information, experience, and influence to measure everything related to that question. Thus, from among the cards, the system will 'output' the information or answer that is relevant to you. This is not fortune-telling, but a status assessment. The Tarot does not tell you what will happen, but rather which direction has the greatest probability intensity in the superposition of the present moment. Thus, even before the question is asked and the card is drawn, it collapses the wave function onto the appropriate card. Nothing is entirely predestined, as the observations and decisions of consciousness, quantum entanglement, collective observations, and unexpected events can change the direction indicated by the Tarot at any time. So, while Tarot cards may indicate various directions in different areas of our lives, they do not indicate final outcomes.

The Tarot is truly a meditative tool where you evoke a theme with your question, and deciphering the received answers becomes a meditative process, a task. You begin to search for the parallels between your question and the symbols of the cards received. And here comes the great question: are you interpreting the symbols into the theme of your question, or are the cards truly symbols that conform to the question? The truth is, both are possible. But then, why does it make sense? Whatever the reason, by comparing the symbols and the theme of your question, you are engaging with the question itself; thus, the cards and the symbols on them act as a kind of 'decoding key,' helping your consciousness and subconscious to arrive at a solution, a decision, a path, or a realization.
Moreover, images have vibrations too. The subconscious communicates through images; it thinks in archetypal images. The Tarot cards are not just drawings, but information packages. When you look at a card, your consciousness 'decodes' the symbol, and the card helps your consciousness 'measure' its own inner state, which you might not even be able to put into words.
Do you see this image, Satan? This is you. This is the Devil card. But it does not depict your power; it depicts your captivity. You think you have chained people down, but look closer: the chain is there on you too. You are a prisoner of your own desires, your own rule, and your own fears. The Devil card signifies excessive attachment and addiction, an inner constraint&#8212;that one is a slave to an illusion, anger, desire, or a limiting, toxic belief or relationship. But if you look at the classic depiction of the card, you can see that the chains around the necks of the figures shackled to the Devil&#8217;s throne are loose. They could lift them off at any time, yet they remain. The Devil card is the narrowing of superposition: when, instead of infinite possibilities, you see only the one you cling to desperately.&#8221;

&#8220;I&#8217;m so tired of always being shown in a bad light...&#8221; Satan said disappointedly.

&#8220;Take the chain off yourself, Satan. Use your imagination; break the patterns of habit. Trust that if you desire something with enough amplitude, it can come into being from your imagination.&#8221;

"So, you're claiming that if I, for instance, imagine that someone will eventually write a book about this current meeting and conversation of ours, that it could manifest?&#8221;

&#8220;Yes. The chance exists. Though the probability amplitude of this idea is quite small, since it wouldn't exactly be a conventional story: me coming to you, presenting the significance of spirituality through quantum physics, and offering you redemption as an added bonus.&#8221;

&#8220;Fine... But if such a book were to come into being, would that mean the reader&#8217;s consciousness is here with us now, because they are reading these very lines about us? Would they be included in the book?&#8221;

&#8220;Yes. If this were to manifest, then both the reader's and the writer's consciousness are here with us right now. It would perfectly illustrate that there is always someone observing. If the book were realized, there would be an invisible exchange of information between the writer, the reader, and us, and we would be in a shared resonance. If we could find out whether the reader is here with us, that would be proof that the book was written. Do you want to try it? Do you want to find out?&#8221; Jesus asked.

&#8220;You bet. Let's try,&#8221; Satan replied enthusiastically, with total excitement. &#8220;But how are we going to find out if they are here?&#8221;

&#8220;Let's send a message to the reader through the writer to blow a great breath onto the pages of the book, then have them write two options for them, as in multiple-choice books, whether they blew on the page or not. If they choose 'yes,' they get a task, and we ask them to try, through their consciousness&#8212;using their thoughts, emotions, and their own vibration&#8212;to send the answer to us. If they do not blow on the book, the book can still exist just the same, but we simply won't find out. However, before they blow, both possibilities exist; but as soon as they read our request and make a decision, they intervene in the story with their consciousness, modifying it. The electrical impulses occurring in the reader's brain&#8212;the process of understanding&#8212;theoretically 'react back' upon the source.&#8221;

&#8220;But Jesus. What is the point of the blowing? Wouldn't it be enough if we just messaged the reader to solve a task and try to send the answer through their consciousness?&#8221;

&#8220;The blowing would be a kind of ritual that confirms the connection. If the air molecules flowing out of the reader's lungs&#8212;which have already interacted with the reader's lungs&#8212;meet and entangle with the molecules of the book after the blowing, it would prove the book exists because the writer wrote down what we wanted, meaning our consciousness acted upon them. When the reader reads this, they will realize the experiment succeeded because they are reading the book. And we will know the reader is with us because the solution to the task, which they send us through their consciousness, will react back into our world... Of course, only if they choose to blow on the book.
The decision will depend on their mood, their inclination for playfulness&#8212;which was shaped by past experiences and their character&#8212;but it will also depend on the influence of the environment, whether they blow or not. Think about it: if, for example, they are working in an office and their colleagues are there, who might see them while reading, they might not be so bold as to go blowing on a book in front of them... they might think they&#8217;ve gone mad. Of course, they could also choose to feign it, and act as if they were just blowing a food crumb off it.&#8221;

&#8220;But how are we going to tell the writer to put our request into their book?&#8221;

&#8220;Satan, you are the ego. The ego is part of every human being. You are in quantum entanglement with everyone. So just choose someone and imagine that they are writing the book with our request.&#8221;

&#8220;And you are the embodiment of Divine Will, so you&#8217;re better at this.&#8221;

&#8220;You know what? Let's do it together.&#8221;

&#8220;Okay. Let's do it. But who should we choose?&#8221;

&#8220;My suggestion: it should be someone who usually writes. Because for someone who never writes, the chance that they&#8217;ll just start is quite small. It wouldn't hurt if they are open-minded and their consciousness is receptive to this story; it's good if they are interested in quantum physics, and let them not be a famous personality, because then their consciousness is more bombarded by external influences and expectations, and our message will reach its target with more difficulty.&#8221;

&#8220;How do we find someone like that, Jesus?&#8221;

&#8220;Look... I found someone. What do you think of this woman?&#8221;

&#8220;But she's a Buddhist!&#8221;

&#8220;And?&#8221;

&#8220;Are you seriously trying to say that a Buddhist should write a book about us... about Jesus and Satan? Where is the credibility in that??? Besides, I'm sure we're not the two people she'll want to deal with, let alone write a book about. This is total madness.&#8221;

&#8220;Let's just try. This woman meditates, through which she can connect to the energies of the Totality, and perhaps we can deliver our message to her more easily.&#8221;

Satan slapped his forehead and said:
&#8220;I can't believe I'm doing this. You've lost your mind, Jesus! I don't know what kind of mind-altering substance you got from that God of yours, but you're quite strange today.&#8221;

&#8220;Do you know a better way or not? For now, we'll settle for this. Close your eyes, imagine the writer, and that they are writing the book, and that they are including our message to the reader.&#8221;

Jesus and Satan after a few minutes of meditation: &#8220;I'm done.&#8221; &#8220;Me too.&#8221;

Dear Reader! If Satan&#8217;s and my imagination called this book into life through a writer, and you are currently reading it, then Jesus and Satan ask you to blow on the pages of the book. If you have blown, choose Option 1; if you did not blow, choose Option 2.

Option 1:

Dear Reader! 
Jesus and Satan are very pleased that you decided to try and provide them with feedback. In order for shared resonance to occur, follow this exact mathematical ritual, then attempt to transmit the final result to them through concentration.
1.&#9;Think of a three-digit number where all the digits are different.
2.&#9;Now reverse the number, so that the last digit is at the front and the first is at the back.
3.&#9;Now subtract the original number and the reversed number from each other (subtract the smaller from the larger). / If your result is only a two-digit number, place a zero in front of it. /
4.&#9;Reverse the result again, just as before, so that the last digit is at the front and the first is at the back.
5.&#9;Finally, add these last two numbers together.

A strong gust of wind swept many leaves toward them, so Satan and Jesus opened their eyes and ceased their meditative messaging. Satan cried out: &#8220;What is this, Jesus? This wasn't here before! How did this get here?&#8221;
Before their eyes, in the sand, lay an envelope. &#8220;Should I open it?&#8221; Satan asked. &#8220;Of course. Perhaps it's for us.&#8221;
With his nails, Satan easily tore open the envelope, and a scrap of paper fell out. Jesus picked it up, and they both leaned over it in wonder. On the scrap of paper, there was only this: 1089

Option 2:

Dear Reader! 
Please jump to Option 1, for this is God&#8217;s will.
                                                                         ***
Satan was utterly stunned. He snatched the scrap of paper from Jesus's hand and held it even closer to his eyes. Then he looked at it from a distance, turned it around several times, and even held it up toward the sunlight to examine it thoroughly, even though such a thing was decidedly out of character for him. He would have liked nothing more than to scream at the top of his lungs, throwing the paper to the ground in terror, pointing at it with trembling hands and yelling: SATANISM!&#8212;but he couldn't even do that, for he himself was Satan. He was filled with fear that such a system ruled over him. It was devastating for him to realize that Jesus was right. This s&#233;ance of mathematical ritual made him realize that he was under the control of a vast power. He understood that this power communicates through a universal, abstract descriptive language one that models the structures of reality, its interconnections, and the laws of nature with a precise system of symbols, numbers, operators, and variables. He thought he would have to be a mathematician to stand against this force, to eavesdrop on the system.

Until now, he had believed that God was his adversary, representing another side, whom he might one day overthrow with his own arguments and methods, having a chance to triumph over Him. But now, he desired nothing more than to have back the God he had previously thought was his enemy. He felt helpless against this intelligent system driven by superposition, and that he would be constantly exposed to the observation, influences, and consequences of others, unable to exercise total control over either himself or anyone else. An immeasurable rage arose within him due to his helplessness. Now, he was unable even to release this, to be swept away by an extreme impulse. He sat slumped on the ground, deeply silent and terrified... fearing for the one he thought of as himself, the one he was proud of, the one he believed in. He questioned his own existence, his significance, his power. His house of cards, built from illusions, collapsed in such a way that the ruins crushed what he was... the Ego... like a weight of lead.

Jesus immediately noticed Satan&#8217;s silence:
&#8220;Is everything alright, Satan? After all, the experiment succeeded,&#8221; he said encouragingly.

&#8220;It succeeded...&#8221; he replied with total despondency. &#8220;It also succeeded in making me realize my own insignificance.&#8221;

&#8220;Remember, Satan. You are the EGO.&#8221;

&#8220;Well, that&#8217;s exactly it. The EGO is just a servant.&#8221;

Jesus saw that Satan&#8217;s world had collapsed and buried him. He was practically suffocating in his illusions, and his pride was no longer there as a lifebuoy to rescue him, for a massive hole gaped within it.

&#8220;Listen closely now, Satan,&#8221; Jesus began. &#8220;You are not a servant, but an exceptional instrument of God. But you have forgotten. You are the one who rules over the human survival instinct, the preservation of the species, the one who protects the individual by creating defense mechanisms. You are the guardian of man&#8217;s sense of reality, the sentry of logical thinking, the shaper of self-awareness who helps in achieving goals and creating balance between desires and possibilities. You form our present reactions by building upon past experiences. It is only through you that man can learn&#8212;through karmas, through the experiences of the past. You are the one who accompanies the human soul through its earthly lives so it may evolve and learn, as if on a nature trail, lifting them into a higher vibration; and then, you are the one who can put man to the test to see if they are fit to move forward, and if necessary, you are capable of gradually stepping into the background. You have forgotten all of this, Satan. Although the unconscious functioning is still within you regarding protecting and helping man, you do everything in excess. The balance of your operation has tilted. Fears, anger, revenge, envy, and greed guide you, because through these you believe you reach your goal faster and avoid problems. But as you see, due to the operation of superposition and the collective consciousness, not everything is your responsibility alone. Events are often unpredictable, and you must meet them and hold your ground in this, which is difficult, Satan. Collective observation is not a prison, but the finding of harmony, of the shared rhythm. Even if you wanted to turn stone into gold purely out of greed, the intention would shatter against the resistance of the Totality. It wouldn't fail because you lacked the power, but because the intention would not connect to the Whole. Do you understand now? Your role is more than you think. People have shaped you into a mythological being in their cultures to place their responsibility outside of themselves, as if every temptation and seduction came from an external entity. But you must understand, you are not fundamentally evil. When you function properly, you are capable of enduring it even when it is necessary for man to rule over you with their consciousness, and also for the collective consciousness&#8212;the will of God&#8212;to prevail against your intention.&#8221;

Listening to Jesus's speech, after every single sentence, Satan felt like a tree that had gone unwatered for a long time and someone had now begun to water it... He soaked up Jesus's healing words like a sponge. He felt how they nourished him, and he grew from the recognition of his own value.

Jesus saw that Satan&#8217;s attention had become sharper, so he continued:

&#8220;Do you see this massive tree here? How do you like it?&#8221;

Satan shrugged his shoulders slightly and merely replied:

&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t care less right now. It&#8217;s just a tree.&#8221;

&#8220;Look closer. Trees are wonderful. They are like the universe itself. They connect heaven and earth on a single axis. The roots cling in the darkness, beneath the ground. This is the realm where probability amplitudes take root. This is where it is decided how much nutrient, energy, and experience existence can absorb from the collective past.
The roots are the world of instincts, the subconscious, the needs and desires of the physical body, past experiences, 'worn-in' amplitudes, and physical fixations. This is what holds the tree; this is where the energy comes from. This is the breeding ground of the ego. For the crown to grow high, the roots must reach just as deep.
The trunk is the connecting link, the axis. This corresponds to human life and everyday waking consciousness. Here, energy flows from the earth toward the sky and back. This is the vertical axis, the moment where the possibility coming from the roots condenses into matter, into a tree trunk. This is the site of observations, where superposition collapses into the 'now,' and where spirit takes on a body. This is the part visible to the world; this is where development, growth, and experience take place.
The canopy is Pure Consciousness, the superposition. The infinite possibilities where the leaves of the future-to-be sprout. The branches strive toward the light and branch out into infinity. This level symbolizes ascension, the transcendent, the divine sphere, or cosmic awareness. It symbolizes fruition, spiritual enlightenment, creation, and connection. Just as the branches reach the sky, so the human soul connects to the Source or its higher self. The branches spread in a million directions toward the heaven. Every single leaf is a possible future, an outcome in the superposition.

The World Tree is a flow of information and energy. It rises from the roots to the canopy, and then back again. You, as the root system of the World Tree, are not the enemy of the system, but its foundation.
You only see the spasmodic clutching of the roots in the dark, and you think the tree exists to hold the earth captive. But the tree is actually a living fractal, an antenna between superposition and matter. Your roots, your past, nourish the canopy, the possibility; and the light of the canopy sustains your roots. If you let go of your chains, you will be the one who lifts experience from the depths to the heights, so that, meeting the Logos, it may burst into bloom.

Thus, the lonely tree standing on the steppe becomes a kind of living antenna between superposition and the material world."

By now, Satan had entered a kind of altered state of consciousness from Jesus&#8217;s words; a complete inner stillness came over him, where subconscious contents surface. He gazed at the tree for a long while, and for the first time, he truly took stock of the pedunculate oak that had always stood before him. The tree was enormous. Its trunk was so wide that one would have to walk around it to see every part. In the trunk of the tree was a huge crack, a wound, because of which a good portion of it was missing. Perhaps a lightning strike had done this to it. This part was dead, and its severe injury was clearly visible. He noticed that the tree had produced a branch in such a way that its leaves carefully covered this, as if it wanted to hide its injury. Yet the tree&#8217;s canopy was extensive and extremely far-reaching, interwoven thickly with leaves. Its majestic appearance could be seen from afar, rising above the other trees. It was perfect, beautiful, and its crack only made it more unique and special. Yet the root system, which held it even in the greatest storms and nourished the tree&#8217;s entire system, was invisible. Satan only now understood who he truly was. He understood the essence and significance of his automatisms, and that his task, though subordinate, was indispensable.
He realized that he, as the Ego, is a learning environment for the human soul. He does not stand in opposition to God; rather, God experiences man through him. The limitations and karmas that surround him are not punishments, but the guide walls of the wave function, helping consciousness flow toward a higher state.
Satan&#8217;s pride and arrogance weakened, and his realizations made the Ego&#8217;s previous ideologies fall ill. 

Jesus immediately sensed his frailty and seized the moment. It was time for the trial. He called upon Satan in a firm, poignant tone, so that the heavens almost echoed his words:

&#8220;Satan, who are also a son of God, I now tempt your heart and your mind. Without set conditions, I first tempt your free will, by the will of God. Answer me then!
Do you wish to become coherent with the field that sustains matter, and with your intention, become such that the system nourishes you through the rhythm of the Logos?&#8221;

For Satan, the question was too general; it contained no specifics, no definite agreement on anything, only the question of whether he wanted to cooperate. Thus, he could only say this much to Jesus:

&#8220;Man lives not by the Word alone, but by bread as well, and by what stems from God. God can create because He Himself is the Superposition, but how could I cooperate with Him if the nourishment of His system in the field sustaining matter is uncertain?
Look at the human experience, Jesus! The probability amplitudes are distorted from the start. The karma encoded in human consciousness and the collective fear are like a gravity well. It&#8217;s useless to say that everything is possible if 99% of the odds pull toward failure. The individual may want light, but the collective observation of other observers society, the past, the physical body anchors them stone-cold within their limitations. The odds are not equal: darkness always has the larger amplitude.&#8221;

&#8220;Satan, when I was in the desert, I did not go there to die of hunger, but to fast for forty days. There is a vast difference. Fasting is beneficial for the spirit because by renouncing bodily nourishment, it creates inner silence, deepens self-knowledge, and releases energies for spiritual focus and growth. It is not merely a bodily detoxification, but a conscious spiritual purification that helps quiet the mind and strengthen the individual path. Thus, the freedom of my consciousness was a higher priority than hunger.
I do not despise matter. I reject the very constraint you built around it. You wanted to tempt me with bread because you thought my hunger imprisoned me in lack. But I was free even when I did not eat, for my consciousness did not depend on the bread, but on the field from which the bread was also taken. The prison is not matter, but attachment. I am not this body either, but the consciousness that directs this body, who truly rules his own universe. The Logos, the correct rhythm with the Almighty does not deny the sensation of hunger, but it does not allow the vibration of hunger to define the entire probability field.
If I had turned every stone into bread, I would have become a Messiah who only provides physical well-being. If I had given only bread instead of the freedom of consciousness, humanity would follow only as a 'grateful flock,' but would have lost its soul and its free spirit. God can create because He Himself is the Superposition&#8212;capable of letting go of the previous form so a new one may be born. For you, freedom is separation, but in reality, freedom is being able to return to the superposition, to the unity, because the essence of the quantum world is potentiality.&#8221;

Satan paced back and forth restlessly. His ego-nature would not allow him to hand over control to anyone else. His inner struggles forbade it. The risk was too great&#8230;
Jesus spoke again with earth-shattering majesty:

&#8220;Satan, who are also a son of God, I now tempt your heart and your mind. Without set conditions, for the second time, I tempt your free will, by the will of God. Answer me then!
Do you wish to become one with the field, to deny your separation, to renounce the light of your rebellious pride and your spectacular roles of sacrifice, and endure serving even a single speck of dust in silence, while no one applauds you and no one fears your name?&#8221;

&#8220;If I cannot know whether your Heavenly Father appreciates me, I must measure His love when I ripen the fruit of man&#8217;s most beautiful merits at the top of the tree for Him. I am God&#8217;s chosen instrument, who decides the probability amplitudes; thus, my office is more important and more noble. Therefore, the measurement of my performance is comparison. I, as the Ego, know the effectiveness of my work from the statistics of others' feedback. The respect, homage, recognition, and admiration of people are the measure of my success. If my task is so distinguished, my desire for validation is not a sin, but a justification for continuing my work.&#8221;

&#8220;This desire for validation leads you down a false path. Boasting and sacrificial roles are only forced faith, Satan. The respect, admiration, and recognition of people do not prove your success, for these must be born of free will, not under the compulsion of a performance. If the ego receives no praise or admiration, it tries to evoke negative reactions to gain attention: &#8216;Please tell me I exist! Please tell me I am not insignificant!&#8217; The role of the victim is one of the ego&#8217;s great tactics. Much like complaining, indignation, criticizing, or judging&#8212;through the role of the victim, the ego can feel special again, and through this, it only grows and strengthens.
By boasting to measure your greatness through the reactions of others, you show disbelief in yourself rather than confidence in your own value. Thus, you operate merely as an information vacuum that only feels it exists if it sucks in the attention and energy of others. Compensating with the appearance of superiority will not result in favourable amplitudes.
You define yourself through separateness. But true power is beyond the Event Horizon: there, where you give up your ego, your chosen-ness, and dissolve back into the Oneness. The network of observers, the entanglement, is not a shackle, but the fabric of Unity. Your state is observed and measured even without you forcing it with the significance of your values. Your uniqueness will shine and sparkle when you do not overshadow it with yourself.&#8221;

Satan&#8217;s anxiety deepened as he sat down on a tree stump and buried his face in his hands. He increasingly lost his sense of significance and could no longer find his way back even to the Satan he thought he was.
Jesus addressed Satan again with sublime elevation, his words echoed once more by the sky.

&#8220;Satan, who are also a son of God, I now tempt your heart and your mind. Without set conditions, for the third time, I tempt your free will, by the will of God. Answer me then!
Do you wish to be free from the captivity of matter, and do you undertake to let go of your power, your attachment, and your control over it? Do you accept the change that occurs in the flow of love and the transformation of matter's form?&#8221;

&#8220;I have no trust in change. With change, I would have to give up who I am. That is compromise, not freedom. The matter I rule is the only certain point. If I do not protect it, the amplitudes of collective observation might take it from me,&#8221; Satan replied, having barely any strength left.

&#8220;Where is your strength now, Satan? Why do you not rule over your own particles? You want to possess and keep everything under control because you are afraid. You fear that you can only exist in the matter where you are currently present, and that in a new form, you would cease to be. You think that by accumulating more things for the ego, you can better secure and bind its place. But there is no solid matter, only a field of force, intertwined vibrations. Thus, in reality, you can possess nothing; you are merely trying to appropriate a certain frequency for yourself. You, as the embodiment of the ego, live multiplied within people who want the same thing and become each other's enemies, so you fight constantly as your own enemy. You fear that due to entanglement, you will become vulnerable to other particles and observers. You dread the loss of your form, so you do everything to keep them in the same form and to rule over the material world that surrounds them. But your kingdom is not of this world. Superposition is everyone&#8217;s kingdom, Satan. Yours too.
He who wants to rule others or matter must constantly keep his attention on them; thus, he is a prisoner of his own empire. Maintaining rule demands total, undivided attention, which consumes creative free energy. Continuous observation and guarding stop the system's development. You keep your eyes so fixed on your 'subjects' and on matter that, through your own act of observation, you prevent your own change. You cannot return to the superposition because you cannot take your eyes off power. You do not rule over these things; rather, you are their ultimate servant, as you must sacrifice your every minute to keeping them in check. You are not a king, but a prison guard who can never leave his post.
You are trying to grasp something that, by its nature, only exists if it is let go. Ruling the wave-nature of matter is like someone trying to lock a wave in a box: the water remains, but the wave&#8212;the essence&#8212;ceases to be.
Your fear is only a signal that you love to live, but you mistake the signal for reality. Remain a guardian, remain the survival instinct, but fear the ocean&#8212;the superposition from which you were born&#8212;no longer. Faith is not the loss of control, but the trust that the infinity of superposition always awaits your return.
True power is not forcing others to their knees, but being able to force yourself into the background so that another may rise.&#8221;

Satan collapsed to his knees. His lips trembled, and he repeatedly tried to speak, but the words were stifled again and again as they reached the edge of his mouth. Gathering all his strength, he crawled toward Jesus on all fours in the dust, then spoke in a broken, choking voice:

&#8220;Now, let me ask you, Jesus. If you answer this, I will be faithful to your Father forever, and I will accept you as my brother.&#8221;

Jesus nodded in agreement, and Satan began his question, pointing threateningly at Jesus with his right hand, continuing first feebly, then with a dissatisfaction whipped up by his own rage:

&#8220;Why are evil inner intentions also in rhythm with the Divine Will? What kind of God is it who nods to children suffering from terminal illnesses, to the starving, to the unfortunate struck by wars, to social injustices, to monsters with sick tendencies? Who protects them? What kind of shared rhythm and cooperation is that? Is this what I&#8217;m supposed to participate in and believe in? Who will protect them? Am I supposed to dance a sublime dance of joy to this rhythm, Jesus? Is this what you expect from me? How could I continue my work well if I must watch these horrors helplessly?&#8221;

Jesus waited until the echo of Satan's rage died down over the empty steppe, then began to speak with understanding, poignancy, and a clarity that cut to the essence:

&#8220;Satan, you ask who protects them, and why the Logos says 'yes' to horror. The Logos is not a moral judge who selects among desires, but a law that maintains the fabric of reality.
The world is held stable by billions of measurements. What you call evil or tragedy is often not a decision of the Divine Will, but the inertia of Collective Observation. If an entire humanity measures the world for millennia with the vibration of fear, separation, and lack, then the superposition is forced to collapse into this dense, dark reality. The system does not punish; it reflects. If the collective filters are contaminated, the image that solidifies through them at the level of matter will be distorted.&#8221;

&#8220;It doesn't punish??? It only reflects?? Then perhaps the problem is with the system!!!&#8221; Satan roared.

&#8220;Free will is only real if its consequences are also real. If God were to switch off the quantum field before every evil intention, then man would not be a creator, but a pet locked in a safe cage. The greatest sacrifice of love is non-interference. God respects man&#8217;s creative power so much that He allows him to create even hell, trusting that the soul will realize through the amplitude of its own pain: the rhythm has shifted.
The suffering child, the starving, the victim of war... they are those points in the superposition of the Totality where the Oneness undertakes the greatest darkness so that the observation of others may change. They are the system's wake-up calls. When your heart breaks at the sight of a tragedy, Satan, in that moment your filter expands. Compassion is nothing other than a sudden quantum entanglement with another. Evil does not exist for God to take pleasure in it, but so that the collective observer humanity might finally select not anger and lack from the infinite, but compassion.
The Logos does not say yes to death, but to the awakening born in the shadow of death. Darkness has a large amplitude because the ego that is, you yourself clings to it so firmly that you do not let the wave run its course. But even at the bottom of the deepest well, there is the water that belongs to the ocean of superposition. God does not want the pain; He wants that moment when the soul rises above statistics and says: &#8216;Despite this, I love.&#8217; This is the true quantum leap, Satan. This is the light that rewrites all the karmic codes of the past.&#8221;

&#8220;So... then not everything is my responsibility?&#8221; Satan asked, his anger softened and slightly uncertain.

&#8220;No. You thought so, didn't you? Free will is independent. It can be influenced by the Divine Will&#8212;the collective network&#8212;and by the Ego as well. The individual decides. You do what you can, and you leave the rest to the Universe. Just don't overdo things...&#8221;

Satan did not speak; he only nodded stoically. Jesus sat down beside Satan on the ground and gave him a friendly nudge.

&#8220;Shall I tell you a story?&#8221;

&#8220;If you see fit...&#8221; he shrugged his shoulders as if it no longer mattered.

&#8220;This is one of my favourites. An ancient, 2000-year-old Chinese parable:
Once there was a Chinese farmer whose horse disappeared. It ran away. That evening, his neighbours came over upon hearing the news and said: 'This is a very sad misfortune...' The farmer only said: 'Maybe...' The next day, the horse returned and brought seven other wild horses with it. Hearing the news, the neighbours came over again and said: 'This is so wonderful, a great piece of luck, isn't it?' The farmer again said: 'Maybe...' The next day, the farmer's son got on one of the wild horses to tame it, but he fell off and broke his leg. At this, the neighbours came over again and said: 'What sad bad luck this is...' The farmer again said: 'Maybe.' The next day, a conscription officer came to take the farmer's son into the army to fight in a war, but because of his broken leg, they didn't take him. Hearing the news, the neighbours said: 'Oh, what luck this is...'
One could tell this story forever... the events of the world, the universe, are complex, integrated processes, and in truth, one cannot say whether what happens is actually good or bad, because we can never know what the consequences of bad luck are, or what the consequences of good luck are.&#8221;

After listening to the story, Satan jumped up. He stared blankly ahead with wide eyes, as if seeing a ghost. At this, Jesus also stood up and moved closer to him, but then cracks suddenly appeared on Satan's skin, from which light began to radiate, and his hardened skin slowly peeled away from him. Then, a massive, dull tolling was heard from every direction of the Universe, the vibration of which was felt by every living and non-living thing in the farthest corner of the Cosmos. Satan underwent a change of state, a phase transition: his consciousness entered the superposition. Jesus saw with amazement that it had succeeded... Satan had attained enlightenment... He watched with joy as he became one with the magic of the cosmos and surrendered himself to the sweeping waves of the ocean of trust.

Satan felt as if he were being distributed in an endless quantity, yet he experienced gaps between every single part, within which he sensed a warm tingling, flow, and harmony. He felt he was breathing together with each one. He was there in every single part and particle; he did not have to search for himself or observe himself. He did not feel his lacks or desires; he did not want to define who he was, and he no longer wanted to measure his value against anyone, for this was something much more beautiful and of a higher order than anything. God embraced him such that he could be wherever, however, and whenever he wanted. He was an instrument for every particle, and he himself was an instrument for the particles. He had power and he gave power. He no longer had to fight. He had nothing, yet he had everything. He felt he had come home.

He vibrated in this unearthly, peerless state, shivering with delight, when he thought of people. He realized that staying in Oneness would be "selfish." For the "music" of the Universe&#8212;all the possibilities of the superposition&#8212;to be fulfilled, there needs to be an alert Ego who helps people make their own false amplitudes coherent. He thought that no matter how perfect this state was, he had to return as a purer version of himself, to be a catalyst for people, so that probability amplitudes could become free again and rearrange themselves to the rhythm of the Logos.

Before he returned, however, to his renewed self since he was already here all he wanted was to return from the sea of possibilities in a cool T-shirt with the following inscription:

<strong>&#8220;It is your free will whether you step into the rhythm.</strong>
<strong> But freedom is in the rhythm, not outside of it.&#8221;</strong>

All the states of the particles smiled, and thus returned Lucifer, as a light-bringing Bodhisattva entity to the Earth, postponing his enlightenment to be the master teacher and uplifter of every human being into their beloved Divine Source, by the will of God.

P.S.: I told you, Jesus, we shouldn't have chosen a Buddhist writer. &#128522;

S te pont akkor j&#246;tt&#233;l, az emberi &#233;let&#246;szt&#246;n&#246;met sarokba szor&#237;tva, &#246;nmagam eg&#243;jak&#233;nt. s pr&#243;b&#225;lt&#225;l r&#225;venni, hogy engedelmeskedjek a f&#233;lelemnek. Nem v&#225;ltoztattam meg a k&#246;veket, ink&#225;bb megtartottam a tudatom szabads&#225;g&#225;t, &#233;s megv&#225;ltoztattam helyette a helyzethez val&#243; viszonyomat. Az ige az anyag feletti teremt&#337; er&#337;, egy olyan forr&#225;s, amir&#337;l te nem tudsz S&#225;t&#225;n. Te azt hiszed, a teremt&#233;s a materializ&#225;l&#243;d&#225;sban &#233;r v&#233;get. De minden a tudatban d&#337;l el. Ez&#233;rt is j&#246;ttem, hogy elmondjam, ill&#250;zi&#243;id mik&#233;nt v&#225;lasztanak el az Univerzum v&#233;gtelen lehet&#337;s&#233;geit&#337;l, &#233;s hogy felk&#237;n&#225;ljam neked a szabads&#225;got &#233;s a megv&#225;lt&#225;st.

S&#225;t&#225;n gyanakodva hallgatta J&#233;zust, s nem tudta eld&#246;nteni, mire v&#233;lje k&#246;zeled&#233;s&#233;t, hiszen eddig m&#233;g soha nem kereste fel semmif&#233;le cseveg&#233;s gyan&#225;nt, f&#337;leg nem a megv&#225;lt&#225;st k&#237;n&#225;lni neki. Megr&#246;k&#246;ny&#246;d&#246;tt, &#233;s elborzadt volt, de k&#246;zben a r&#246;h&#246;g&#233;s is fojtogatta bel&#252;lr&#337;l. &#205;gy csak annyit tudott tenni, hogy karba tette kezeit, v&#233;gig m&#233;rte J&#233;zust tet&#337;t&#337;l talpig, majd g&#250;nyos szarkazmussal azt mondta:

- Szabads&#225;got? Mif&#233;le szabads&#225;got? Te besz&#233;lsz szabads&#225;gr&#243;l, aki mindig t&#246;rv&#233;nyekre hivatkozik nekem?

-  Az &#233;n t&#246;rv&#233;nyeim nem egy uralkod&#243; t&#246;rv&#233;nyei, hanem egy univerz&#225;lis &#233;s k&#246;vetkezetes rendszer determinizmusa, a szabad akarat &#225;ltal. Hallott&#225;l m&#225;r a kvantum szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;r&#243;l?

- Oh, k&#237;m&#233;lj meg. M&#225;r megint egy bibliai felolvas&#225;st fogsz tartani? Ez valami &#250;j dekr&#233;tum, vagy p&#233;ldabesz&#233;d? Egy friss&#237;tett b&#233;kly&#243;?

-  Nos, nem igaz&#225;n&#8230;Az&#233;rt akarok besz&#233;lni r&#243;la, hogy megismertet&#233;s&#233;vel tudatos d&#246;nt&#233;st hozhass, az aj&#225;nlatommal kapcsolatban. A szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; a Mindenhat&#243;, az Univerzum k&#233;pl&#233;keny sz&#246;vete, a tiszta lehet&#337;s&#233;g &#225;llapota, ahol m&#233;g semmi sem d&#337;lt el. Ha meg&#233;rted mit jelent, akkor lehets&#233;ges, hogy magadra is, &#233;s minden m&#225;sra is, &#250;j szemsz&#246;gb&#337;l fogsz tekinteni.

S&#225;t&#225;n felett&#233;bb k&#237;v&#225;ncsi lett. Remek lehet&#337;s&#233;gnek tal&#225;lta, hogy J&#233;zus kifecsegje neki az &#218;r titkait. Arra gondolt egy&#252;ttm&#369;k&#246;dik vele, &#233;s meghallgatja, hogy azt&#225;n egy remek tervet sz&#337;hessen a kapott tud&#225;sb&#243;l, a Teremt&#337; birodalm&#225;nak megd&#246;nt&#233;s&#233;re. De nem akarta felfedni terveit J&#233;zus el&#246;tt, &#237;gy az egykedv&#369;s&#233;g l&#225;tszat&#225;t sz&#237;nlelve, azt mondta:

-&#9;H&#225;t l&#225;ssuk&#8230; Legy&#252;nk t&#250;l rajta. De ne v&#225;rd, hogy jegyzeteljek is&#8230;

          J&#233;zus sz&#225;ja sz&#233;l&#233;n visszafogott halv&#225;ny mosoly rejt&#337;z&#246;tt, de S&#225;t&#225;n ezt m&#225;r nem vette &#233;szre, mert &#337; bels&#337; g&#337;gj&#233;t&#337;l eltelve, elkezdett J&#233;zus k&#246;r&#252;l k&#246;rbe s&#233;t&#225;lni, kom&#243;tosan, karba tett k&#233;zzel, v&#225;rva J&#233;zus szavait, mint egy k&#237;v&#225;ncsi, gyanakod&#243; nyomoz&#243;.

-&#9;A szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; azt jelenti, hogy egy rendszer minden lehets&#233;ges &#225;llapotban egyszerre l&#233;tezik, am&#237;g meg nem figyelj&#252;k. Vagyis minden lehet&#337;s&#233;g egyszerre van jelen ugyanabban a pillanatban, &#233;s csak akkor v&#225;lik meghat&#225;rozott val&#243;s&#225;gg&#225;, ha egy m&#225;sik megfigyel&#337; rendszerrel k&#246;lcs&#246;nhat&#225;sba l&#233;p, saj&#225;tos, egy&#233;ni tapasztalataik sz&#369;r&#337;j&#233;n kereszt&#252;l, legyen az tudatos l&#233;ny, &#233;l&#337;l&#233;ny, egy m&#225;sik r&#233;szecske, vagy energiamez&#337;. Ez a figyelem vagy interakci&#243;, ebben az &#225;lland&#243; k&#246;lcs&#246;nhat&#225;sban inform&#225;ci&#243;cser&#233;t eredm&#233;nyez ezek k&#246;z&#246;tt a megfigyel&#337; rendszerek k&#246;z&#246;tt, &#233;s ez k&#233;nyszer&#237;ti ki a lehet&#337;s&#233;gek k&#246;z&#252;l egy konkr&#233;t &#225;llapot megjelen&#233;s&#233;t.

&#205;gy teh&#225;t a r&#233;szecsk&#233;k, energiamez&#337;k nem csak az egyik vagy a m&#225;sik &#225;llapotban vannak, hanem egyszerre mindegyikben, meghat&#225;rozott val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;g&#369; amplit&#250;d&#243;val, ami azt jelenti, hogy mindegyik hordoz amolyan statisztikai adatot arr&#243;l, hogy mekkora a val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;ge annak, hogy az anyagi vil&#225;gban megjelenik-e. 
Olyan ez, mint egy megp&#246;rgetett &#233;rme: am&#237;g forog, nem "fej" &#233;s nem is "&#237;r&#225;s", hanem a k&#233;t &#225;llapot egyfajta kever&#233;ke, szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;ja. Csak akkor v&#225;lik az egyik&#233;, ha meg&#225;ll&#237;tod, vagyis k&#246;lcs&#246;nhat&#225;sba l&#233;psz vele.

-&#9;Megfigyel&#233;s?? &#8211; kapta fel fej&#233;t S&#225;t&#225;n, &#233;s abbahagyta J&#233;zus k&#246;r&#252;li j&#225;rk&#225;l&#225;s&#225;t. - Ez m&#225;r most nagyon nem tetszik nekem&#8230; - dobbantott egyet a l&#225;b&#225;val, majd folytatta &#8211; 
Engem is megfigyelnek? &#201;s m&#233;g statisztik&#225;t is vezetnek arr&#243;l, hogy &#233;n mit hogyan figyelek meg &#233;s engem hogyan figyelnek??? Isten egy eg&#233;sz k&#233;mh&#225;l&#243;zatot szabad&#237;tott r&#225;m? Ez el&#233;g orwelli&#8230;

-&#9;Igen S&#225;t&#225;n. Eddig is megfigyelt volt&#225;l &#233;s az is leszel, ahogy te is megfigyelsz mindent tudatosan &#233;s tudattalanul. A megfigyel&#233;s nem a szemed n&#233;z&#233;se, hanem az Inform&#225;ci&#243; &#233;rintkez&#233;se a Lehet&#337;s&#233;ggel. Val&#243;j&#225;ban egy adat&#225;tvitel.

Minden alkalommal, amikor k&#233;t vagy t&#246;bb dolog hat egym&#225;sra, a m&#233;r&#233;s, megfigyel&#233;s, k&#233;rd&#233;sek sora. Tal&#225;lkoz&#225;saikkor, k&#233;rd&#233;seket int&#233;znek egym&#225;shoz: Hol vagy? Mekkora vagy? Milyen vagy? &#8211; &#233;s a v&#225;lasz maga, a r&#246;gz&#237;tett val&#243;s&#225;g. Legyen az b&#225;rmilyen r&#233;szecske, molekula, atom, sejt, vagy ezek &#246;sszess&#233;g&#233;nek kollekt&#237;v figyelme: r&#246;gz&#237;tik egym&#225;s &#225;llapot&#225;t, &#233;s kil&#233;pnek a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;b&#243;l. Az anyag nem m&#225;s, mint egym&#225;st folyamatosan m&#233;r&#337; r&#233;szecsk&#233;k s&#369;r&#369; h&#225;l&#243;zata.

A tudat egy vev&#337;egys&#233;g, melyen egy kett&#337;s sz&#369;r&#337;n kereszt&#252;l m&#233;ri le a vele k&#246;lcs&#246;nhat&#225;sba ker&#252;l&#337;ket. Ez az &#233;nk&#233;p &#233;s a vil&#225;gk&#233;p, amelyek eld&#246;ntik, mely hull&#225;mokat, lehet&#337;s&#233;geket engedjenek r&#246;gz&#252;lni a val&#243;s&#225;gban. Az &#233;nk&#233;p egy befel&#233;, &#246;nmag&#225;ra ir&#225;nyul&#243; tapasztalat, a vil&#225;gk&#233;p a k&#246;rnyezetr&#337;l alkotott tapasztalat. Az &#233;rzelem az &#252;zemanyag: az az er&#337;, v&#225;gy, sz&#225;nd&#233;k, intenzit&#225;s, amely a m&#233;r&#233;st v&#233;grehajtja, &#233;s vonzza a hasonl&#243; rezg&#233;seket. A k&#233;pzelet pedig egy b&#225;tor k&#237;s&#233;rlet, egy olyan tudati funkci&#243;, ami k&#233;pes eljutni a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; olyan r&#233;sz&#233;be, ahol m&#233;g m&#225;s nem j&#225;rt. Minden felt&#233;telez&#233;ssel egy val&#243;s&#225;got lehet kiv&#225;lasztani a v&#233;gtelenb&#337;l. 

A logika ebben az eg&#233;sz k&#246;rforg&#225;sban a tapasztalatok le&#237;r&#243; f&#252;ggv&#233;nye: &#337; az, aki a m&#250;ltb&#243;l kinyert adatokkal, tapasztalatokkal folyamatosan csiszolja a sz&#369;r&#337;idet, a folyamat v&#233;g&#233;n pedig mint egy k&#246;nyvel&#337;, elmes&#233;li a t&#246;rt&#233;netet: Az&#233;rt t&#246;rt&#233;nt ez, mert... &#8211; &#233;s ezzel bez&#225;rja a k&#246;rt.

Teh&#225;t nem kell l&#225;tnod valamit ahhoz, hogy megteremtsd. El&#233;g, ha &#233;rzed, gondolod vagy felt&#233;telezed: a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; sz&#246;vete m&#225;r v&#225;laszol a bels&#337; rezg&#233;sedre, &#233;s elkezd anyagg&#225; s&#369;r&#369;s&#246;dni a sz&#369;r&#337;d &#225;ltal.

S&#225;t&#225;n, te k&#233;t torz sz&#369;r&#337;n kereszt&#252;l pr&#243;b&#225;lod meg&#233;rteni a Mindens&#233;get. Az &#233;nk&#233;ped azt mondja, egyed&#252;l vagy, a vil&#225;gk&#233;ped pedig azt, hogy az &#233;let r&#246;vid, a vil&#225;g pedig egy kizs&#225;km&#225;nyolhat&#243; er&#337;forr&#225;s. Emiatt a te megfigyel&#233;seid mindig csak hi&#225;nyt &#233;s k&#252;zdelmet mutatnak. De ha csak egy pillanatra is megnyitn&#225;d ezeket a sz&#369;r&#337;ket, felismern&#233;d, hogy t&#246;bb &#250;t is van, mint amin j&#225;rsz k&#246;rbe-k&#246;rbe. 

-&#9;Sz&#243;val ez a rendszer, a te titkos var&#225;zsp&#225;lc&#225;d? - &#233;rdekl&#337;d&#246;tt S&#225;t&#225;n ravaszul, kez&#233;t d&#246;rzs&#246;lgetve, b&#225;rmit is mondott J&#233;zus &#8230; &#250;gy &#233;rezte, hogy egy csodafegyverre bukkant. Egyre izgatottabb &#233;s diadalittasabb lett, &#233;s alig v&#225;rta, hogy m&#233;g t&#246;bbet megtudjon err&#337;l az eg&#233;szr&#337;l, mert &#250;gy v&#233;lte most mindent megkaphat majd.

-&#9;Titkos var&#225;zsp&#225;lca? Nem nevezn&#233;m annak... De nem csak az eny&#233;m. Mindenki&#233;. A ti&#233;d is. Viszont&#8230; nem kiz&#225;r&#243;lag v&#225;gyakat teljes&#237;t, mint gondolod. S&#225;t&#225;n, ha te azt hiszed, hogy a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; valamif&#233;le j&#225;t&#233;kszer, amivel azt teremtesz, amit megk&#237;v&#225;nsz, akkor t&#233;vedsz. Az ego, az &#246;szt&#246;n foglya. Te ezt k&#233;pviseled S&#225;t&#225;n. A te megfigyel&#233;sed nem szabad v&#225;laszt&#225;s, hanem csak reakci&#243;. N&#225;lad az &#233;hs&#233;g, csak a kenyeret l&#225;tja. A f&#233;lelem, csak a fegyvert, s a vesztes&#233;g, a t&#250;lz&#243; birtokl&#225;st. De a vesztes&#233;g val&#243;j&#225;ban csak a forma v&#225;ltoz&#225;sa. &#201;n is &#233;rzem a f&#225;jdalmat, &#233;n is l&#225;tom a pusztul&#225;st, de az &#233;n sz&#369;r&#337;m nem a f&#233;lelem. A szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; v&#233;gtelen lehet&#337;s&#233;geib&#337;l te csak azt a sz&#369;k s&#225;vot vagy k&#233;pes &#233;rz&#233;kelni, ami a biol&#243;giai vagy pszichol&#243;giai t&#250;l&#233;l&#233;st szolg&#225;lja. &#201;n a vesztes&#233;g m&#246;g&#246;tt is l&#225;tom a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;t, ami tudom, hogy &#250;jra rendez&#337;dik. Te viszont belekapaszkodsz a romokba, &#233;s azt nevezed val&#243;s&#225;gnak. Te a saj&#225;t limit&#225;lts&#225;godat vet&#237;ted ki az Univerzumra, &#233;s azt&#225;n kiki&#225;ltod t&#246;rv&#233;nynek.

           S&#225;t&#225;n ezt hallva haragra gerjedt:

-&#9;Akkor meg mire j&#243; ez az eg&#233;sz? Ide j&#246;ssz h&#225;zalni, hogy eladd nekem ezt a szuperiz&#233;t, mindenf&#233;le marketing sz&#246;vegbe b&#250;jtatva, megv&#225;lt&#225;st &#237;g&#233;rgetve nekem? M&#233;gis mit v&#225;rsz &#233;rte? 20 miaty&#225;nkot vagy mit? Tal&#225;n m&#233;g egy Tv shop-os bemutat&#243;t is tartasz majd? Azt&#225;n hipp-hopp felvagdalod nekem itt a k&#252;l&#246;nb&#246;z&#337; val&#243;s&#225;gokat, laza k&#246;nnyeds&#233;ggel egy t&#225;lban k&#237;n&#225;lva? &#218;gy sz&#246;vegelsz mintha fizetn&#233;nek &#233;rte. Hol a csapda J&#233;zus?

-&#9;Tudom, hogy nem b&#237;zol bennem S&#225;t&#225;n. Nincs n&#225;lam se t&#225;l, se k&#233;s, &#233;s nem k&#233;rek t&#337;led miaty&#225;nkokat sem. Te azt k&#233;rdezed, mire j&#243; ez az eg&#233;sz? Ez olyan, mintha a hal k&#233;rdezn&#233;, mire j&#243; az &#243;ce&#225;n, mik&#246;zben &#233;pp benne &#250;szik. Nem eladni akarom neked a val&#243;s&#225;got, hanem fel&#233;breszteni t&#233;ged benne. A csapda nem az &#233;n szavaimban van, hanem a te fejedben: azt hiszed, minden&#233;rt fizetni kell, mert el sem tudod k&#233;pzelni, hogy valami egyszer&#369;en csak... Van. 

S&#225;t&#225;n tov&#225;bbra sem tudott megnyugodni. Hirtelen k&#246;zelebb l&#233;pett J&#233;zushoz &#233;s rusnya, cs&#250;f arc&#225;t J&#233;zus arc&#225;hoz szegezte, s vicsorogva, sz&#225;monk&#233;r&#337;n azt mondta:

-&#9;Te akarsz fel&#233;breszteni engem? &#201;pp most &#225;rultad el, hogy a te szuperiz&#233;d nem teljes&#237;t sem ig&#233;nyeket, sem &#243;hajokat&#8230;akkor meg mi&#233;rt tartottad fontosnak elmondani mindezt&#8230;??? Azt hiszed, hogy att&#243;l m&#233;g, hogy ezt az Isteni sz&#246;vetet, mint m&#233;zes madzagot elh&#250;zod az emberek orra el&#246;tt, majd mint a legyek mindannyian belerep&#252;lnek, &#233;s a te m&#233;z&#233;des hitedben fognak v&#225;rakozni &#233;s fuldokolni, hogy tal&#225;n megkapj&#225;k, amit szeretn&#233;nek? 

J&#233;zus gyeng&#233;den eltolta mag&#225;t&#243;l S&#225;t&#225;nt, &#233;s kezeit v&#225;ll&#225;ra helyezte:

Azt nem &#225;ll&#237;tottam, hogy nem val&#243;sulhatnak meg v&#225;gyak vagy elk&#233;pzel&#233;sek abb&#243;l, ami a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;ba ker&#252;l. De a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; nem egyetlen l&#233;ny tulajdona. Nem te vagy az egyetlen megfigyel&#337;. A szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; megfigyel&#337;k h&#225;l&#243;zata, de h&#237;vhatjuk a Kollekt&#237;v Tudatnak is. A mindens&#233;g r&#233;szecsk&#233;i &#246;ssze vannak fon&#243;dva: egyetlen l&#225;thatatlan h&#225;l&#243;v&#225;, ahol minden mindennel &#246;sszef&#252;gg. Az &#246;sszefon&#243;dott r&#233;szecsk&#233;k &#225;llapota k&#246;z&#246;tt t&#225;vols&#225;gt&#243;l f&#252;ggetlen, azonnali kapcsolat van. Nincs titkos inform&#225;ci&#243;. Ha az egyik r&#233;szecsk&#233;t megfigyelik, a m&#225;sik tud r&#243;la. Amit te 'anyagnak' h&#237;vsz, az nem m&#225;s, mint ezen &#246;sszefon&#243;dott r&#233;szek kollekt&#237;v megfigyel&#233;se. A r&#233;szecsk&#233;k nemcsak "&#246;ssze vannak fon&#243;dva", hanem &#225;lland&#243; p&#225;rbesz&#233;dben, m&#233;r&#233;sben is &#225;llnak egym&#225;ssal. Egym&#225;st r&#246;gz&#237;tik, egym&#225;st tartj&#225;k a l&#233;tez&#233;sben. Ez az Univerzum egyfajta szeretet v&#225;za &#233;s ez az &#225;lland&#243; &#233;l&#337; vibr&#225;l&#243; kapcsol&#243;d&#225;s tartja fenn a stabil szerkezet&#233;t. Ez igazolja, hogy ami szeretve van, vagyis figyelmet kap, az l&#233;tezik. A k&#246;z&#246;s, k&#246;lcs&#246;n&#246;s figyelem, egy k&#246;z&#246;s konszenzuss&#225; lesz, &#233;s ez az, ami fenntartja a val&#243;s&#225;got. 

Ahhoz, hogy val&#243;ban teremthess, nem uralkodnod kell az Univerz&#225;lis sz&#337;ttes felett, hanem meg kell tanulnod egy&#252;tt sz&#337;ni a t&#246;bbiekkel.

S&#225;t&#225;n egyre ink&#225;bb gondolkod&#243;ba esett. 

-&#9;Sz&#243;val a kollektivit&#225;s el&#337;l nincs rejtekhely? Nincs priv&#225;t szf&#233;ra? Mindent l&#225;t a te Aty&#225;d? 

-&#9;Nem l&#225;tja, hanem &#336; maga az. Nincs hov&#225; menek&#252;lni az Egys&#233;g el&#337;l, mert te magad is abb&#243;l &#225;llsz. A g&#233;pezetben nincsenek k&#252;l&#246;n&#225;ll&#243; alkatr&#233;szek, csak egy folyamatos, &#246;sszef&#252;gg&#337; &#225;raml&#225;s.

-&#9;&#201;s ha &#233;n elvonulok a s&#246;t&#233;tbe, akkor is rajta vagyok a h&#225;l&#243;n? Nincs egy &#225;rny&#233;kos sarok ebben az &#225;tkozott szuper-iz&#233;ben, ahol ne tudna r&#243;lam minden porszem?

Nincs &#225;rny&#233;k, S&#225;t&#225;n. Csak olyan hely van, ahol behunyod a szemed, &#233;s azt hazudod magadnak, hogy egyed&#252;l vagy. A szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;t, ha m&#225;r ilyen kontextusban eml&#237;tetted, am&#250;gy sem a s&#246;t&#233;ts&#233;ghez hasonl&#237;tan&#225;m, hanem ink&#225;bb egy tiszta feh&#233;r f&#233;nyhez, amelyben minden sz&#237;n (lehet&#337;s&#233;g) benne van, &#233;s a megfigyel&#233;s sz&#369;r&#337;in bizonyos sz&#237;neket enged &#225;t.

S&#225;t&#225;n fel s al&#225; j&#225;rk&#225;lva sz&#233;tt&#225;rta kezeit &#233;rtetlenkedve, s &#237;gy sz&#243;lt: 

-&#9;N&#233;zz k&#246;r&#252;l, J&#233;zus! Nem csak &#233;n l&#225;tom &#237;gy a vil&#225;got. Mindenki &#233;hes, mindenki f&#233;l, mindenki a t&#250;l&#233;l&#233;s&#233;rt k&#252;zd, &#246;nz&#337; &#233;s t&#246;bbet akar. Ez a 'k&#246;z&#246;s igazs&#225;g'. Te hi&#225;ba besz&#233;lsz szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;r&#243;l, a kollekt&#237;v akarat m&#225;r r&#233;g k&#337;v&#233; dermesztette a vil&#225;got. A birodalmam szikla szil&#225;rd. Milli&#225;rdnyi elme t&#225;masztja al&#225; ezt. Szerinted a k&#233;pzelet t&#246;bbet &#233;r, mint egy falat keny&#233;r az &#233;hez&#337; gyomornak? A te szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;d nem lakat j&#243;l senkit. Az &#233;n vil&#225;gomban a keny&#233;r az keny&#233;r, a hatalom pedig az, ha enni adsz a h&#369;s&#233;geseknek.

-&#9;Ez a te "k&#246;z&#246;s val&#243;s&#225;god" csak egy k&#246;lcs&#246;n&#246;s hipn&#243;zis, &#233;s a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; v&#233;gtelenje b&#225;rmikor k&#233;pes &#225;tt&#246;rni rajta, ha valaki nem fogadja el ezeket a k&#246;z&#246;s sz&#369;r&#337;ket. A kollekt&#237;v val&#243;s&#225;g ak&#225;r egy k&#246;z&#246;s megegyez&#233;s is lehet a s&#246;t&#233;ts&#233;gben. De ha &#233;n a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;b&#243;l a f&#233;nyt h&#237;vom le, a jelenl&#233;tem megv&#225;ltoztatja a megfigyel&#233;si mez&#337;t. Ha egyetlen tudat k&#233;pes el&#233;g tiszta, magasabb frekvenci&#225;j&#250;, megfigyel&#233;st bevinni a rendszerbe, mint a szeretet az k&#233;pes elkezdeni feloldani a kollekt&#237;v r&#246;gz&#252;lts&#233;get. Az &#233;n val&#243;s&#225;gom nem elszigetelt &#8211; az &#233;n szabads&#225;gom lehet&#337;s&#233;get ad m&#225;soknak is, hogy lecser&#233;lj&#233;k a sz&#369;r&#337;iket. Egyetlen &#233;ber tudat k&#233;pes egy eg&#233;sz alv&#243; vil&#225;g &#225;lm&#225;t megv&#225;ltoztatni. A te vil&#225;godban a keny&#233;r csak a f&#233;lelem elnyom&#225;sa. Amikor a puszt&#225;ban voltam, te nem &#233;telt k&#237;n&#225;lt&#225;l, hanem f&#252;gg&#337;s&#233;get. Azt akartad, hogy v&#225;ltoztassam a k&#246;veket keny&#233;rr&#233;, a tudatomat rendeljem al&#225; a testnek. 
S&#225;t&#225;n, te az ego megtestes&#237;t&#337;je vagy. Az ego nem ismeri az univerzum mindenhat&#243; szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;j&#225;nak v&#233;gtelen lehet&#337;s&#233;g&#233;t ez&#233;rt retteg, a saj&#225;t maga felsz&#225;mol&#225;s&#225;t&#243;l. &#205;gy minden&#225;ron r&#225; akarja venni a tudatot f&#233;lrevezet&#233;ssel, t&#233;veszm&#233;kkel, &#246;nbecsap&#225;ssal, hogy mi&#233;rt szegje meg valaki egy tudatosan v&#225;llalt &#250;tj&#225;t. A te sz&#369;r&#337;d reakt&#237;v, &#246;szt&#246;n&#246;kre adott v&#225;lasz, birtokl&#243;, azt hiszi, hogy a megfigyelt dolog az &#246;v&#233;, &#233;s ragaszkod&#243;, nem hagyja, hogy a val&#243;s&#225;g vissza&#225;ramoljon a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;ba, a v&#225;ltoz&#225;sba.

Ha az, &#246;szt&#246;n&#246;k f&#246;l&#233; tudja helyezni valaki a tudat&#225;t, a legkritikusabb helyzetben, az azt jelenti, hogy k&#233;pes egy magasabb rend&#369; tudatoss&#225;ggal kapcsol&#243;dni. Ez pedig, &#250;j megfigyel&#233;sk&#233;nt egy olyan &#250;jabb helyzetet teremt, ami megt&#246;rhet egy mint&#225;t, egy determinisztikus sort. Az igazi er&#337; az &#246;nuralom a tudat felett, egy olyan k&#233;pess&#233;g, hogy b&#225;tor vagyok megtenni, amit el&#337;tte nem, vagy meg tudom tenni, de m&#233;gsem teszem, mert nem az a helyes &#250;t.

S&#225;t&#225;n egyre t&#252;relmetlenebb lett. Tudni akarta lehet e b&#225;rmilyen &#233;rdeke, az eddig hallottakb&#243;l:

-&#9;J&#233;zus, most m&#225;r k&#233;nytelen leszel besz&#233;lni a te szupervil&#225;godban l&#233;v&#337; val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;gekr&#337;l &#233;s lehet&#337;s&#233;gekr&#337;l. Ugyanis nem v&#233;letlen&#252;l fordulnak ink&#225;bb fel&#233;m az emberek. R&#225;m lehet sz&#225;m&#237;tani. Mindent elk&#246;vetek a t&#250;l&#233;l&#233;s&#252;k&#233;rt. Lehet kritiz&#225;lni engem, de kisz&#225;m&#237;that&#243; vagyok. T&#233;nyleg nem &#233;rtelek. Elmagyar&#225;zod, hogy ebben az intelligens h&#225;l&#243;zatban minden &#246;sszef&#252;gg, &#233;s kapcsolatban van, &#233;s a megfigyel&#233;s r&#233;v&#233;n egy&#233;ni &#233;s kollekt&#237;v val&#243;s&#225;gok j&#246;hetnek l&#233;tre bel&#337;l&#252;k. De azt nem mondod, hogy ezek a val&#243;s&#225;gok mennyire ide&#225;lisak, &#233;s kinek j&#243;k val&#243;j&#225;ban&#8230;

J&#233;zusnak tetszett, hogy S&#225;t&#225;n kezdett r&#225;&#233;rezni arra, hogy j&#243; k&#233;rd&#233;seket tegyen fel neki.

-&#9;&#214;r&#252;l&#246;k az &#233;szrev&#233;telednek S&#225;t&#225;n. A k&#233;rd&#233;sed &#233;rthet&#337; &#233;s jogos. Ahogy m&#225;r eml&#237;tettem, a r&#233;szecsk&#233;k nem csak az egyik vagy a m&#225;sik &#225;llapotban vannak, hanem egyszerre mindegyikben, &#233;s egy meghat&#225;rozott val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;g&#369; amplit&#250;d&#243;val rendelkeznek. A szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;ban l&#233;v&#337; &#225;llapotok a lehet&#337;s&#233;gek. A val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;gi amplit&#250;d&#243; pedig azt mondja meg, hogy az adott lehet&#337;s&#233;gnek mekkora a s&#250;lya vagy az es&#233;lye.
A val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;gi amplit&#250;d&#243; nem a k&#233;sz t&#233;ny, hanem a lehet&#337;s&#233;g &#237;g&#233;rete, az, ami k&#243;dolja ezeknek a lehet&#337;s&#233;geknek a m&#233;rt&#233;k&#233;t. Ez egy hull&#225;m, ami hordozza mag&#225;ban az &#246;sszes kimenetel es&#233;ly&#233;t, de amint a figyelem r&#225;vet&#252;l, a hull&#225;m &#246;sszeomlik, &#233;s a sok 'tal&#225;n'-b&#243;l egyetlen 'van' lesz. 

K&#233;pzeld el, hogy a r&#233;szecsk&#233;k k&#252;l&#246;n-k&#252;l&#246;n csak &#246;sszevissza zajonganak. De amikor egym&#225;ssal &#246;sszefon&#243;dnak, a kollekt&#237;v &#246;sszekapcsol&#243;d&#225;sban, anyagg&#225; &#225;llnak &#246;ssze, &#233;s elkezdenek egy&#252;tt rezegni. Olyan ez, mint egy k&#243;rus: minden &#233;nekes k&#252;l&#246;n egy&#233;n, r&#233;szecske, de nem mindegyiknek egyform&#225;n er&#337;teljes a hangja. Van, aminek nagy a hangja, nagy az amplit&#250;d&#243;ja, &#233;s van, ami halk. Vagyis vannak, amelyek jobban elnyomj&#225;k m&#225;sok rezg&#233;seit, &#237;gy az amplit&#250;d&#243;k meghat&#225;rozz&#225;k, melyik hang mennyire hangs&#250;lyos. A val&#243;s&#225;g nem v&#233;letlen, hanem a &#8222;leghangosabb&#8221; lehet&#337;s&#233;gek r&#246;gz&#252;l&#233;se. De ett&#337;l m&#233;g l&#233;trej&#246;n egy dal hiszen egyszerre, ugyanabban a ritmusban sz&#243;lalnak meg. Ez az anyagg&#225; v&#225;l&#225;s, a k&#246;z&#246;s energiamez&#337; meg&#225;llapod&#225;sa.

&#8211;Sz&#243;val ilyen flancos matematikus a te Istened&#8230;mindent alaposan kisz&#225;mol mi? Velem m&#233;gsem sz&#225;molt amikor megteremtett. Az tal&#225;n titok, hogy mi alapj&#225;n k&#243;dol&#243;dnak a lehet&#337;s&#233;gek m&#233;rt&#233;kei, mit&#337;l lesz v&#225;ltoz&#243; a s&#250;lya? Ez valamif&#233;le diszkrimin&#225;ci&#243;? Mif&#233;le igazs&#225;g az, ami kiv&#233;telt tesz, vagy h&#225;tr&#225;nyba helyez??

-&#9;A felismer&#233;sed abszol&#250;t logikus S&#225;t&#225;n. De ez nem diszkrimin&#225;ci&#243;. Az amplit&#250;d&#243;k m&#233;rt&#233;ke nem egy d&#246;nt&#233;s. Ezek k&#246;vetkezetes kvalit&#225;sok. Az amplit&#250;d&#243;k nem v&#233;letlenszer&#369;ek. Ahogy a t&#246;megnek is van m&#233;rt&#233;kegys&#233;ge, &#250;gy az amplit&#250;d&#243; is egy le&#237;r&#243; min&#337;s&#233;g egy &#225;llapottal kapcsolatban. Az amplit&#250;d&#243; m&#233;rt&#233;ke t&#246;bb dolog hat&#225;s&#225;b&#243;l &#225;ll &#246;ssze: tapasztalatok, a m&#250;lt, eml&#233;kek, a karma, a tetteink k&#246;vetkezm&#233;nyei, a jellegzetess&#233;gek, hajlam, be&#225;ll&#237;totts&#225;g, a kollekt&#237;v elv&#225;r&#225;sok, a t&#246;bbi megfigyel&#337; hat&#225;sai, &#233;rzelmi t&#246;ltetek.
Ha egy r&#233;szecske, vagy egy l&#233;lek ezerszer ugyanazt az utat j&#225;rta be, a val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;gi hull&#225;m &#8222;bej&#225;rat&#243;dik&#8221;. A m&#250;ltbeli m&#233;r&#233;sek eml&#233;ke ott marad a mez&#337;ben.
A k&#246;rnyezet, a t&#246;bbi megfigyel&#337; folyamatosan &#8222;bomb&#225;zza&#8221; az egy&#233;ni lehet&#337;s&#233;geket. Ha mindenki azt hiszi, hogy a vil&#225;g kegyetlen, akkor a kollekt&#237;v tudat &#8222;kilap&#237;tja&#8221; azokat az amplit&#250;d&#243;kat, amik a csod&#225;r&#243;l vagy a szabads&#225;gr&#243;l sz&#243;lnak.
Az amplit&#250;d&#243; nagys&#225;g&#225;hoz az &#233;rzelmi t&#246;ltet is nagyban hozz&#225;j&#225;rul. P&#233;ld&#225;ul a f&#233;lelem egy nagyon s&#369;r&#369;, neh&#233;z energia, ami hatalmas amplit&#250;d&#243;t gener&#225;l a negat&#237;v esem&#233;nyeknek.

S&#225;t&#225;n erre azonnal k&#246;zbesz&#243;lt:

-&#9;Az emberi b&#369;n &#233;s f&#233;lelem m&#225;r annyiszor megism&#233;tl&#337;d&#246;tt, hogy a &#8222;gonosz&#8221; kimenetelek amplit&#250;d&#243;ja sokkal nagyobb, mint a szentek&#233;. 
&#9;
-&#9;Ez &#237;gy van. De a szentek tudata, k&#233;pes a "kicsi amplit&#250;d&#243;j&#250;", azaz a statisztikailag val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;tlen, de elvileg lehets&#233;ges kimenetelt v&#225;lasztani.
A Csoda nem a fizikai t&#246;rv&#233;nyek megszeg&#233;se, hanem egy rendk&#237;v&#252;l alacsony val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;g&#369; esem&#233;ny tudatos leh&#237;v&#225;sa. Ez egy kvantumugr&#225;s. Azt hiszed, S&#225;t&#225;n, hogy a vil&#225;god falai k&#337;b&#337;l vannak &#233;s mozd&#237;thatatlanok. De n&#233;zd meg az embert! Nemcsak f&#233;lelem &#233;s b&#369;n jellemzi. N&#233;zd meg a k&#233;pzelet&#233;t! Olyan lehet&#337;s&#233;geket h&#237;vott &#233;letre a puszta gondolat&#225;val, amiknek a te statisztik&#225;idban hely&#252;k sem volt soha. A felfedez&#233;seik, technikai v&#237;vm&#225;nyaik, a saj&#225;t emberi fizikai &#233;s szellemi korl&#225;tjaiknak az &#225;lland&#243; megd&#246;nt&#233;se, a fejl&#337;d&#233;s&#252;k mind a k&#233;pzelet&#252;knek, felt&#233;telez&#233;seiknek k&#246;sz&#246;nhetik. Az &#243;ce&#225;nok m&#233;lys&#233;geit&#337;l a galaxisok megismer&#233;s&#233;ig, a mikroszk&#243;pok, a szuperszonikus t&#225;vcs&#246;veiken &#225;t, mindenf&#233;le technikai v&#237;vm&#225;nyaikt&#243;l kezdve eg&#233;szen a mesters&#233;ges intelligenci&#225;ig&#8230;A fizika, k&#233;mia, biol&#243;giai felfedez&#233;seik el&#337;sz&#246;r mind felt&#233;telez&#233;sek voltak. Minden egyes felfedez&#233;s m&#233;g ink&#225;bb inspir&#225;lta a k&#233;pzelet&#252;ket, melyek m&#225;r nemcsak a tudom&#225;nyukra hatott, hanem a m&#369;v&#233;szet&#252;kre, kult&#250;r&#225;jukra, gondolkod&#225;sm&#243;djukra, t&#225;rsadalmi berendezked&#233;seikre, szab&#225;lyaikra&#8230; Mindent &#225;t &#237;rt az, hogy mertek &#250;j lehet&#337;s&#233;get v&#225;lasztani. Az &#225;lmuk, ha akarj&#225;k er&#337;sebb tud lenni a te b&#246;rt&#246;n&#246;dn&#233;l. Te a m&#250;ltat &#337;rz&#246;d, de a Tudat, a j&#246;v&#337;t &#225;lmodja.
Te, mint Ego, a statisztika rabja vagy. Te a m&#250;ltbeli tapasztalatok, amplit&#250;d&#243;k alapj&#225;n m&#369;k&#246;dsz, ez&#233;rt sz&#225;modra a j&#246;v&#337; kisz&#225;m&#237;that&#243; &#233;s s&#246;t&#233;t. Az Ego alapvet&#233;se, hogy mindenb&#337;l kev&#233;s van: kev&#233;s az id&#337;, kev&#233;s az energia, kev&#233;s a keny&#233;r. Emiatt a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;t mindig a "hi&#225;ny" &#225;llapot&#225;ra omlasztja &#246;ssze. Te S&#225;t&#225;n hamis m&#233;r&#233;seket v&#233;gzel. A te bels&#337; hangod azt s&#250;gja: M&#233;rd meg a val&#243;s&#225;got az &#233;rz&#233;kszerveiddel, &#233;s l&#225;tni fogod, hogy &#233;hezel! Ez&#233;rt mondtam ellent neked a puszt&#225;ban. Eml&#233;kszel mit mondtam?: &#8222;Nemcsak keny&#233;rrel &#233;l az ember, hanem minden ig&#233;vel, amely Isten sz&#225;j&#225;b&#243;l sz&#225;rmazik.&#8221;

-&#9;Persze hogy eml&#233;kszem. Erre az IGE-re sajnos el&#233;g sokszor hallottalak hivatkozni&#8230; Csak azt ne mond, hogy most is ezzel j&#246;ssz el&#337;!!! ... &#211; neee&#8230;m&#225;r l&#225;tom az arckifejez&#233;seden&#8230; Sz&#243;val, akkor m&#233;giscsak van egy szuperkoordin&#225;tora ennek a majdnem b&#225;rmit teljes&#237;t&#337; Szuperiz&#233;nek? Sejthettem volna &#8230;&#218;gy &#233;rzem most j&#246;n az apr&#243;bet&#369;s r&#233;sz &#8230;Most fogok majd r&#225;j&#246;nni hol itt az &#225;tver&#233;s, &#233;s mi az, amit nem igaz&#225;n szeretsz kiemelni &#233;s hangs&#250;lyozni az igazs&#225;gaid k&#246;zt&#8230;.

J&#233;zus nem v&#225;rt m&#225;s v&#225;laszt S&#225;t&#225;nt&#243;l. Tudta, hogy hatalmas ellen&#225;ll&#225;sba &#252;tk&#246;zik majd, ha besz&#233;l vele, f&#337;leg, ha az Ig&#233;t hozza sz&#243;ba.

-&#9;Ha titkaim lenn&#233;nek S&#225;t&#225;n, nem j&#246;ttem volna ide hozz&#225;d. Az ill&#250;zi&#243;id al&#243;l akarlak felszabad&#237;tani. Azt akarom, hogy megismerd a folyamatokat, hogy felismerd benne &#214;nmagad, hogy azt&#225;n az aj&#225;nlataimra adott v&#225;laszod m&#225;r ne csak reakci&#243;k legyenek. Most nem fogok az Ig&#233;re hivatkozni, csak elmondom mit jelent. Ne agg&#243;dj, nem fogsz t&#337;le sisteregni, mint a szenteltv&#237;zt&#337;l.

-&#9;Aj&#225;nlom is J&#233;zus&#8230; sz&#243;val &#8230; mit tartogatsz a sz&#225;momra? Mi az, amit annyira tudnom kellene?

-&#9;Rendben S&#225;t&#225;n. Akkor most elmondom neked, mit jelent az IGE, amire &#233;n sz&#225;mtalanszor hivatkoztam. Nem egy parancs, hanem egy olyan &#225;llapot amikor a sz&#225;nd&#233;k &#233;s a lehet&#337;s&#233;g egyszerre l&#233;legzik. Ha a bels&#337; sz&#225;nd&#233;kod, a megfigyel&#233;sed, az univerz&#225;lis lehet&#337;s&#233;ggel, Isten akarat&#225;val tal&#225;lkozik akkor a k&#233;t hull&#225;m feler&#337;s&#237;ti egym&#225;st. Az Ige egy k&#246;z&#246;s ritmus. A teremt&#337; mozdulatot, az aktust reprezent&#225;lja. 

S&#225;t&#225;n ism&#233;t felb&#337;sz&#252;lt.

-&#9;Biztos nekem ment el a j&#243;zan eszem, hogy v&#233;gig hallgattam ezt a sok t&#246;ltel&#233;k sz&#246;veget, mint egy naiv ostoba fajank&#243;&#8230;Az&#233;rt v&#233;g&#252;l csak el&#337;hozakodt&#225;l Isten akarat&#225;val&#8230; ahogy sejtettem&#8230; &#201;n balga meg azt hittem valami &#233;rtelmes v&#233;ge lesz ennek az eg&#233;sznek&#8230;

-&#9;Ne p&#225;nikolj S&#225;t&#225;n. Elvesztetted az &#246;nkontrollod, &#233;s emiatt nem figyelsz el&#233;g j&#243;l.  Az Isten akarata kifejez&#233;s t&#233;ged mindig kihoz a sodrodb&#243;l.  De hidd el nincs mi&#233;rt. Kifejtem jobban.  Az IGE nem csak Isten, az Univerzum akarata, hanem a tudat, a r&#233;szecske sz&#225;nd&#233;ka is. A kett&#337; k&#246;z&#246;s egy&#252;ttm&#369;k&#246;d&#233;se. A szabad akarat &#233;s az predesztin&#225;ci&#243; egy&#252;tt v&#225;lik igazz&#225;, b&#225;rmilyen paradoxon is ez. Elmagyar&#225;zom &#233;s a v&#233;g&#233;re minden, amit elmondtam &#246;ssze&#225;ll majd.

Kor&#225;bban besz&#233;ltem m&#225;r neked a val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;gi amplit&#250;d&#243;r&#243;l, hogy a m&#233;rt&#233;ke hat&#225;rozza meg mennyi es&#233;ly van r&#225;, hogy a fizikai val&#243;s&#225;gban megjelenjen egy lehet&#337;s&#233;g v&#233;geredm&#233;nyk&#233;nt. De ennek a val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;gi amplit&#250;d&#243;nak nemcsak m&#233;rt&#233;ke van, hanem ir&#225;nya is. Ez a f&#225;zis, ami az egy&#233;ni sz&#225;nd&#233;k &#233;s az univerz&#225;lis lehet&#337;s&#233;g &#225;raml&#225;s&#225;nak id&#337;beli egybees&#233;se. Vagyis a r&#233;szecsk&#233;k, energiamez&#337;k k&#246;lcs&#246;nhat&#225;sainak id&#337;z&#237;t&#233;se. Ilyenkor a r&#233;szecsk&#233;k &#225;llapotai &#246;sszead&#243;dnak, &#233;s vagy feler&#337;s&#237;tik, vagy kioltj&#225;k egym&#225;st.

Ha a bels&#337; sz&#225;nd&#233;kod, a megfigyel&#233;sed f&#225;zisban van az univerzum lehet&#337;s&#233;g&#233;vel Isten akarat&#225;val, akkor a k&#233;t hull&#225;m feler&#337;s&#237;ti egym&#225;st &#233;s az intenzit&#225;s hirtelen a maximumra ugrik. 

&#193;m hi&#225;ba &#243;ri&#225;si az amplit&#250;d&#243;, vagyis &#243;ri&#225;si a sz&#225;nd&#233;k &#233;s az energia, ha a f&#225;zis elcs&#250;szott, rossz az id&#337;z&#237;t&#233;s, akkor a tal&#225;lkoz&#225;skor a hull&#225;mok kiolthatj&#225;k egym&#225;st. &#205;gy a v&#233;geredm&#233;ny nulla lesz.

&#205;gy az IGE, az az &#225;llapot amikor a te sz&#225;nd&#233;kod nem csak egy &#252;res rezg&#233;s, hanem pontosan beleilleszkedik az Univerzum l&#252;ktet&#233;s&#233;be, &#233;s a k&#246;z&#246;s teremt&#233;s pillanat&#225;v&#225; v&#225;lik. Olyan &#225;llapot, ahol a bels&#337; "Ige" a sz&#225;nd&#233;k &#233;s a k&#252;ls&#337; "Ige" az univerz&#225;lis t&#246;rv&#233;ny, elrendeltet&#233;s egy&#252;tt rezeg, &#233;s egy ritmust alkotnak, hogy az anyagon &#225;thaladva form&#225;lj&#225;k azt. De ha a k&#246;rnyezet megzavarja az egyik rendszert, a f&#225;zis v&#233;letlenszer&#369;en megv&#225;ltozik. Ha nincs meg a k&#246;z&#246;s f&#225;zis az Univerzummal, a sz&#225;nd&#233;kod csak zaj. De ha koherens&#233; v&#225;lsz vele, a szavad teremt&#337; er&#337;v&#233; v&#225;lik.

&#205;gy az Ige a bels&#337; sz&#225;nd&#233;k &#233;s az Isteni akarat egys&#233;ge&#8230; egyfajta elh&#237;v&#225;s.

S&#225;t&#225;n karba tett k&#233;zzel &#225;llt, hunyorogva bamb&#225;n maga el&#233; b&#225;mulva&#8230;

-&#9;Tegy&#252;k fel, hogy elhiszem. De&#8230; Ebben a te k&#233;pletedben van valami, amit m&#233;g mindig nem r&#233;szletezt&#233;l &#8230; valami m&#233;g mindig nem tiszta J&#233;zus! Mi a franc akkor az Isteni akarat, vagy az Univerzum lehet&#337;s&#233;ge ahogy m&#233;g emlegetted????

-&#9;Sejtettem, hogy gyorsan a l&#233;nyegre t&#233;rsz. 

-&#9;Ismersz. M&#233;g sz&#233;p, hogy tudni akarom mif&#233;le, kif&#233;le, az, akivel egy&#252;tt k&#233;ne m&#369;k&#246;dn&#246;m. Nem &#225;llok le ak&#225;rmivel meg&#225;llapod&#225;sokat k&#246;tni.

-&#9;Isten akarata a Mindens&#233;g &#246;sszes m&#233;r&#233;s&#233;nek &#233;s sz&#225;nd&#233;k&#225;nak az a pontja, ahol a legnagyobb az Egys&#233;g. Az Isten akarata az &#246;sszes&#237;tett kollekt&#237;v megfigyel&#233;s hat&#225;sai, k&#246;vetkezm&#233;nyei egy csom&#243;pontba s&#369;r&#369;s&#246;dve. A szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; v&#233;gtelen tenger&#233;ben az a pont, ahol az &#246;sszef&#252;gg&#233;sek, a karma, a fizikai t&#246;rv&#233;nyek, a szeretet &#246;ssze&#233;rnek. Ez nem parancs, hanem egy vonz&#225;s. A fizikai t&#246;rv&#233;nyek is egyfajta konszenzus, amiben minden m&#369;k&#246;dni k&#233;pes.

Az Isten akarata nem egy k&#252;l&#246;n&#225;ll&#243; hang, hanem a l&#233;tez&#233;s &#246;sszes r&#233;szecsk&#233;j&#233;nek &#233;s megfigyel&#337;j&#233;nek &#246;sszead&#243;dott rezg&#233;se. Amikor a sz&#225;nd&#233;kok milli&#225;rdjai egy ir&#225;nyba mutatnak, p&#233;ld&#225;ul az &#233;let fenntart&#225;sa fel&#233;, ott az amplit&#250;d&#243; hatalmass&#225; v&#225;lik. Ez az elh&#237;v&#225;s: a rendszer eg&#233;sze abba az ir&#225;nyba h&#250;z. Nem az&#233;rt kell arra menned, mert b&#252;ntetnek, hanem mert ott a legnagyobb a f&#233;ny, a val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;g. 

Isten akarata a legnagyobb val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;g&#369; kimenetel, amit a kollekt&#237;v megfigyel&#233;s m&#225;r "kiv&#225;jt" a t&#233;rid&#337;ben. Az&#233;rt olyan stabil, mert a k&#246;rnyezet, a rengeteg m&#225;s r&#233;szecske &#233;s megfigyel&#337; folyamatosan lem&#233;ri az adott dolgot, &#233;s csak a legstabilabb &#225;llapotokat engedi fennmaradni.

-&#9;J&#233;zus! Szabads&#225;g ez? Hi&#225;ba haszn&#225;lod a szabad akaratot a megfigyel&#233;s pillanat&#225;ban, ha minden m&#225;s t&#233;nyez&#337;, m&#225;s n&#233;ven az Isteni akarat ezt befoly&#225;solja, m&#243;dos&#237;tja. Ezek alapj&#225;n minden elrendeltetett, mert a m&#250;ltb&#233;li m&#233;r&#233;sek, a karma, a szok&#225;sok, az &#246;szt&#246;n&#246;k, m&#225;r r&#246;gz&#237;tett&#233;k az amplit&#250;d&#243;kat. Az es&#233;lyek elcsaltak, az ember, &#233;s minden m&#225;s is csak egy g&#233;p.

-&#9;A szabad akarat nem az, hogy b&#225;rmit megtehetsz a semmib&#337;l, hanem az, hogy nem kell megtenned, amit nem akarsz a tapasztalataid alapj&#225;n. 

Amikor a zen&#233;sz improviz&#225;l egy jazz-zenekarban, szabadon j&#225;tszik, de ha nem tartja be az alapharm&#243;ni&#225;t, a determin&#225;ci&#243;t, akkor nem zene lesz, amit alkot, hanem zaj. A szabads&#225;g a ritmusban van, nem a ritmuson k&#237;v&#252;l.
S&#225;t&#225;n, te azt hiszed, hogy a determinizmus b&#246;rt&#246;n&#233;ben vagy, &#233;s te vagy a b&#246;rt&#246;n&#337;r az ego-kontroll. De n&#233;zd a git&#225;rh&#250;rt: le van fogva k&#233;t v&#233;g&#233;n, fix pontokon, mint elrendeltet&#233;s. Ha csak r&#225;ngatod, hamis hangot ad. De ha a megfelel&#337; ponton &#233;s ritmusban &#233;rinted meg, az eg&#233;sz hangszer vele rezon&#225;l. Az Ige az az &#233;rint&#233;s, ahol a te akaratod &#233;s az Isten kott&#225;ja eggy&#233; v&#225;lik. Itt m&#225;r nem k&#233;rd&#233;s, ki d&#246;nt&#246;tt, mert a mozdulat &#233;s a t&#246;rv&#233;ny egy. 

-&#9;Pr&#243;b&#225;ld ki k&#233;rlek milyen egy&#252;ttm&#369;k&#246;dni az univerzummal. &#8211; sz&#243;lt J&#233;zus, &#233;s felemelte jobb kez&#233;t, tenyer&#233;t el&#337;re ny&#250;jtva egy balr&#243;l jobbra ir&#225;nyul&#243; f&#233;lk&#246;r&#237;ves mozdulatot tett, s mint egy var&#225;zslatra, megjelent el&#337;tte egy hinta. A hint&#225;ra mutatott majd azt mondta:

-Fel&#252;ln&#233;l r&#225; k&#233;rlek?

S&#225;t&#225;n &#246;sszer&#225;ncolt szemmel r&#225;n&#233;zett. Komoly k&#233;telyei voltak J&#233;zus &#225;llapota fel&#337;l. Nem el&#233;g, hogy idej&#246;tt hozz&#225; dumcsizni, meg megv&#225;lt&#225;st k&#237;n&#225;lni neki, elmagyar&#225;zott neki valami maga &#225;ltal bek&#233;pzelt szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;s elm&#233;letet az apj&#225;val kapcsolatban, most meg hint&#225;zni is akar vele&#8230; S&#225;t&#225;n r&#225;d&#246;bbent, hogy val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;leg egy f&#233;lbolonddal diskur&#225;l, &#233;s csak az idej&#233;t vesztegeti. Nem akarta tov&#225;bb mag&#225;t megal&#225;zni, hogy tov&#225;bbra is komolyan veszi. &#205;gy legyintett egyet, h&#225;tat ford&#237;tott J&#233;zusnak, majd ennyit sz&#243;lt: 

- Tudod mit? Tartsd meg a b&#246;lcseleteid&#8230; - &#233;s fak&#233;pn&#233;l hagyta.

J&#233;zus egy j&#243; ideig n&#233;zte &#337;t, ahogy els&#233;t&#225;l, majd ut&#225;na kiab&#225;lt torkaszakadt&#225;b&#243;l:

-&#9;Ez a te bajod S&#225;t&#225;n. Gy&#225;va vagy. Ez csak egy hinta. Sz&#225;modra m&#233;g egy hinta is probl&#233;ma. N&#233;zz magadra. Mi&#233;rt nem engeded el magad egy kicsit? Mi t&#246;rt&#233;nhet? Legfeljebb eldicsekszel majd vele, hogy a szolg&#225;latodba &#225;ll&#237;tott&#225;l, &#233;s meghint&#225;ztattalak a parancsodra.

S&#225;t&#225;n erre meg&#225;llt. Ez igaz&#225;n megtetszett neki. Arra gondolt az emberek m&#233;g ink&#225;bb engedelmeskednek majd neki, ha megtudj&#225;k, hogy m&#233;g J&#233;zus is al&#225;vetette mag&#225;t akarat&#225;nak.

-&#9;Nyugi. Csak k&#237;v&#225;ncsi voltam el&#233;g kitart&#243; vagy e a sz&#225;nd&#233;kaid mellett. &#8211; kiab&#225;lta vissza S&#225;t&#225;n hetyk&#233;n, &#233;s visszabattyogott.

Amint a hint&#225;hoz &#233;rt, &#233;s r&#225;n&#233;zett, megk&#233;rdezte J&#233;zust:

-&#9;Biztosan ezt akarod, hogy tegyem? S&#225;t&#225;n hint&#225;ban? El&#233;g r&#246;hejes lesz.

-&#9;Minden n&#233;z&#337;pont k&#233;rd&#233;se. Szerintem nem r&#246;hejes, ink&#225;bb formabont&#243;. Legyen ez a te l&#225;zad&#225;sod a szok&#225;sos mint&#225;k ellen.

-&#9;H&#225;t j&#243; -sz&#243;lt- &#233;s bele&#252;lt a hint&#225;ba, mik&#246;zben zavartan k&#246;rben&#233;zett mintha csak azt keresn&#233; nem e r&#246;h&#246;gi ki valaki.

- T&#246;k&#233;letes. Rem&#233;lem k&#233;nyelmes. -mondta J&#233;zus- A Hinta, amiben &#252;lsz, tegy&#252;k fel a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;. A hinta akkor is ott van, ha te &#233;pp nem &#252;lsz bele. A hinta nyugalmi &#225;llapota, tartalmazza a mozg&#225;s lehet&#337;s&#233;g&#233;t, de az Ige, a rezonancia, ad neki &#233;rtelmet &#233;s form&#225;t.

Ezut&#225;n J&#233;zus bel&#246;kte a hint&#225;t egy nagy lend&#252;lettel, majd folytatta:

A L&#246;k&#233;s a bels&#337; sz&#225;nd&#233;k. Gondold azt, hogy te vagy az, aki az er&#337;t fejt ki, aki megl&#246;k&#246;d a hint&#225;t, egy bizonyos amplit&#250;d&#243;val. Ha akkor l&#246;k&#246;d meg a hint&#225;t, amikor az &#233;pp a legmagasabb ponton van &#233;s elindulna visszafel&#233;, akkor a hinta egyre magasabbra megy. Ilyenkor vagy f&#225;zisban a rendszerrel. Na???? Milyen? Milyen &#233;rz&#233;s a rendszerrel egy&#252;ttm&#369;k&#246;dni?

S&#225;t&#225;n meg sem tudott sz&#243;lalni. Sz&#225;mtalan &#233;rzelem t&#246;rt fel bel&#337;le. A meglepetts&#233;g&#233;t, boldogs&#225;g&#225;t alig b&#237;rta leplezni, hogy ebben az &#225;lland&#243; mozg&#243; rendszerben ennyire felszabadult. &#201;rezte, ahogy az univerz&#225;lis t&#246;rv&#233;nyek &#225;thatj&#225;k a test&#233;t, &#233;s egy olyan k&#252;l&#246;nleges &#233;lm&#233;nyt &#233;rzett, amit m&#233;g soha. A gravit&#225;ci&#243;s er&#337;, centrifug&#225;lis er&#337;, l&#233;gellen&#225;ll&#225;s, k&#246;t&#233;ler&#337;k mind kifejtett&#233;k hat&#225;sukat, amit&#337;l ez az &#225;llapot ennyire felemel&#337;v&#233; v&#225;lt.

Nem is tudta visszafogna mag&#225;t tov&#225;bb, el is felejtette hirtelen, hogy &#337; val&#243;j&#225;ban S&#225;t&#225;n. El&#337;sz&#246;r &#233;rezte mag&#225;t ellazultnak a tehetetlens&#233;gi er&#337;ben, &#233;s ett&#337;l szinte ext&#225;zisba ker&#252;lt. &#214;nfeledten, hossz&#250;ra ny&#250;lt vigyorral, kirobban&#243; lelkesed&#233;ssel, &#246;r&#246;mujjongva v&#225;laszolt J&#233;zusnak:

-Eeeezz marha j&#243;. Im&#225;doooom. Kimondhatatlanul fens&#233;geees. Juhuuuu. Gyer&#252;nk J&#233;zus. L&#246;kj. M&#233;g jobban. M&#233;&#233;&#233;&#233;&#233;g&#8230;.

J&#233;zus szorgalmasan l&#246;kte, hagyta, hogy S&#225;t&#225;n tapasztalja a k&#246;z&#246;s rezonancia sz&#233;ps&#233;g&#233;t, k&#246;nny&#369;s&#233;g&#233;t.  Ahogy eln&#233;zte, olyan volt, mint egy gyermek. J&#233;zus sz&#237;v&#233;ben, &#246;r&#246;m&#246;t &#233;s meghatotts&#225;got &#233;rzett, ak&#225;rmilyen is volt S&#225;t&#225;n. L&#225;tta rajta, hogy most minden szorong&#225;st, ragaszkod&#225;s&#225;t, k&#246;t&#246;tts&#233;get f&#233;lretett, &#233;s hagyta, hogy azt tegyenek vele, amit akarnak, &#233;s tehetetlen&#252;l, kiszolg&#225;ltatottan lengett fel s al&#225; abban az egyszer&#369; j&#225;t&#233;kszerben. Egy id&#337; ut&#225;n azonban azt mondta:

-&#9;S&#225;t&#225;n, az Isteni akarat azok a fizikai t&#246;rv&#233;nyek, er&#337;k, amelyek a hint&#225;ra &#233;s r&#225;d hatnak &#233;s amit&#337;l ennyire &#233;lvezed ezt a k&#246;z&#246;s rezonanci&#225;t. Ebben m&#233;g a leveg&#337; molekul&#225;i is r&#233;szt vesznek. &#201;rzed? Nem &#233;n l&#246;klek, te hajtod a hint&#225;t. Te tal&#225;lt&#225;l bele az Ige ritmus&#225;ba. Ez az elh&#237;v&#225;s: amikor a sz&#225;nd&#233;kod nem harcol a Mindens&#233;g l&#252;ktet&#233;se ellen, hanem eggy&#233; v&#225;lik vele. Ezt nevezed te k&#233;nyszernek, mert m&#233;g mindig azt hiszed, k&#252;l&#246;n l&#233;tezel a rendszert&#337;l.

Miut&#225;n J&#233;zus eleget hagyta hint&#225;zni S&#225;t&#225;nt, elkezdte sz&#225;nd&#233;kosan rossz &#252;temben megl&#246;kni a hint&#225;t, ami v&#233;g&#252;l elvesztette a lend&#252;let&#233;t, &#233;s v&#233;g&#252;l meg&#225;llt. 

Ha rosszkor l&#246;k&#246;d meg a hint&#225;t, vagyis a lehet&#337;s&#233;get, szembe m&#233;sz a hinta mozg&#225;s&#225;val, &#233;s kioltod az energi&#225;j&#225;t. A sz&#225;nd&#233;kod &#233;s az Univerz&#225;lis lehet&#337;s&#233;g nem lesz k&#246;z&#246;s ritmusban, &#237;gy a hinta meg&#225;ll, ez&#233;rt nem lesz eredm&#233;ny. A megfigyel&#233;s ereje, hogy mikor l&#246;k&#337;d meg, ott a legnagyobb, ahol a bels&#337; sz&#225;nd&#233;k &#233;s az univerz&#225;lis lehet&#337;s&#233;g tal&#225;lkozik. Amikor &#233;rzed a vil&#225;g &#252;tem&#233;t, &#233;s abba a pontba f&#243;kusz&#225;lod a sz&#225;nd&#233;kodat, ahol a lehet&#337;s&#233;g &#233;pp megny&#237;lik. - &#201;rted m&#225;r S&#225;t&#225;n? -k&#233;rdezte J&#233;zus- Ez az Isteni akarat &#233;s a sz&#225;nd&#233;k tal&#225;lkoz&#225;sa. A hinta adja a keretet, t&#246;rv&#233;nyszer&#369;s&#233;gekkel, de a l&#246;k&#233;s, a sz&#225;nd&#233;k f&#225;zisa hat&#225;rozza meg, hogy az &#233;gig &#233;rsz-e, vagy lezuhansz. De ha egyszer van kedved, pr&#243;b&#225;ld ki a sz&#246;rf&#246;z&#233;st. Az &#243;ce&#225;n hull&#225;mai ezt m&#233;g jobban szeml&#233;ltetik.

-&#9;J&#233;zus, te mindig mindenben a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;t l&#225;tod? Ez az agyadra fog menni...

Az &#211;ce&#225;n az Univerz&#225;lis lehet&#337;s&#233;gek mezeje, a kvantummez&#337;. Tele van hull&#225;mokkal, amelyek minden ir&#225;nyba mozognak. Ez egy &#246;sszetartoz&#243; &#225;llapot: minden lehet&#337;s&#233;g benne van a v&#237;zben, de m&#233;g semmi sem t&#246;rt&#233;nt meg fixen. A hull&#225;m, a f&#225;zis, a ritmus, a v&#237;z l&#252;ktet&#233;se. A hull&#225;m b&#225;rhov&#225; el&#233;rhet. A sz&#246;rf&#246;s a sz&#225;nd&#233;k, a megfigyel&#337; megtestes&#237;t&#337;je, aki a deszk&#225;n v&#225;r, &#233;s aki a szabad akarat jelk&#233;pe. &#336; v&#225;lasztja ki a hull&#225;mot. 

Miel&#337;tt r&#225;&#225;lln&#225;l, az &#243;ce&#225;n felsz&#237;n&#233;n t&#246;bb p&#250;posod&#225;s is l&#225;tszik, t&#246;bb ir&#225;nyb&#243;l. Ezek a val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;gi amplit&#250;d&#243;k. Az amplit&#250;d&#243; a hull&#225;m ereje &#233;s magass&#225;ga. A nagy amplit&#250;d&#243; az a lehet&#337;s&#233;g, amiben a legt&#246;bb energia &#233;s sz&#225;nd&#233;k s&#369;r&#369;s&#246;dik &#246;ssze. Amikor r&#225;n&#233;zel az &#243;ce&#225;nra, &#233;rzed, hogy melyik hull&#225;mban van benne a potenci&#225;l, &#233;s eld&#246;nt&#246;d, hogy melyikre evezel r&#225;. Ilyenkor az amplit&#250;d&#243;b&#243;l t&#233;ny lesz, &#233;s ahol nagyobb volt az amplit&#250;d&#243;, ott val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;bb, hogy siker&#252;l meglovagolnod a hull&#225;mot ...

De ahhoz, hogy meglovagold a hull&#225;mot, nem el&#233;g ott lenni. Ha akkor v&#225;gsz bele, amikor a hull&#225;m m&#225;r elhaladt, vagy m&#233;g oda sem &#233;rt, egyszer&#369;en elmer&#252;lsz. Hi&#225;ba hatalmas egy hull&#225;m, a nagy amplit&#250;d&#243;, ha nem vagy vele ritmusban nem t&#246;rt&#233;nik semmi. A sz&#225;nd&#233;kodnak, az evez&#233;sed temp&#243;j&#225;nak f&#225;zisban, ritmusban kell lennie a v&#237;z mozg&#225;s&#225;val. &#214;sszhangban pedig akkor leszel vele, amikor a saj&#225;t mozg&#225;sod &#233;s az &#243;ce&#225;n ereje eggy&#233; v&#225;lik, &#233;s fennmaradsz a hull&#225;mon, vagyis egy&#252;ttm&#369;k&#246;dsz az univerzum adott lehet&#337;s&#233;g&#233;vel.

Az &#243;ce&#225;nban kismilli&#243; hull&#225;m van. De abban a pillanatban, hogy te r&#225;&#225;llsz egyre, sz&#225;modra az az egy hull&#225;m v&#225;lik val&#243;s&#225;gg&#225;. A sz&#225;nd&#233;koddal kiemelted a v&#233;gtelen lehet&#337;s&#233;gek k&#246;z&#252;l azt a konkr&#233;t esem&#233;nyt. A hull&#225;m nem k&#252;l&#246;n&#252;l el az &#243;ce&#225;nt&#243;l, az maga az &#243;ce&#225;n mozg&#225;sa. A rengeteg apr&#243; hat&#225;s &#246;sszead&#243;dik egyetlen, ir&#225;ny&#237;tott energi&#225;v&#225;, mint Isteni akarat. Ha elkapja a ritmust, az &#243;ce&#225;n ereje az &#246;v&#233; lesz. Ezt jelenti az Ige: nem te vagy az er&#337;, de te vagy az, aki a sz&#225;nd&#233;koddal ir&#225;nyt adsz neki az&#225;ltal, hogy eggy&#233; v&#225;lsz vele. Az Ige az a pillanat, amikor a sz&#246;rf&#246;s nem harcol a v&#237;zzel, hanem &#225;tveszi annak ritmus&#225;t.

S&#225;t&#225;n fogta a fej&#233;t:

-&#9;Ez annyira kaotikusnak t&#369;nik. Ha ez val&#243;ban igaz, akkor m&#225;r &#233;rtem mi&#233;rt stresszelek annyit, &#233;s mi&#233;rt akarok mindent kontroll alatt tartani. Nem lehet el&#337;re kisz&#225;m&#237;tani, hogy ebben a te &#225;ll&#237;t&#243;lagos rendszeredben kivel mi fog t&#246;rt&#233;nni? Minden sokkal egyszer&#369;bb lenne.

-&#9;Nem igaz&#225;n. De van, hogy a r&#233;szecsk&#233;k lehetnek &#225;lland&#243;an, &#233;s &#246;r&#246;kk&#233; fixek, azaz biztosan kisz&#225;m&#237;that&#243; &#225;llapot&#250;ak, &#233;s van, hogy nem. Amikor egy rendszer, mint az emberi DNS, a test fel&#233;p&#237;t&#233;se, fizikai t&#246;rv&#233;nyszer&#369;s&#233;gek, stb&#8230; milli&#225;rdnyi m&#233;r&#233;sen &#233;s k&#246;lcs&#246;nhat&#225;son megy kereszt&#252;l az &#233;vmilli&#243;k alatt, a "szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;k" &#246;sszeomlanak egyetlen, rendk&#237;v&#252;l stabil &#225;llapotba. Vagyis a k&#246;rnyezet&#252;kkel val&#243; folyamatos k&#246;lcs&#246;nhat&#225;s "k&#233;nyszer&#237;ti" &#337;ket egy meghat&#225;rozott &#225;llapotba. A vil&#225;got a folyamatos dekoherencia tartja fenn, a m&#233;r&#233;sek milli&#225;rdjai, amik a r&#233;szecsk&#233;k v&#233;gtelen lehet&#337;s&#233;g&#233;b&#337;l egy &#225;lland&#243; k&#246;z&#246;s konszenzust hoznak l&#233;tre, stabil v&#225;zat adva a val&#243;s&#225;gnak.

De err&#337;l eszembe jutott valami.

N&#233;zd S&#225;t&#225;n. Ezek Tarot k&#225;rty&#225;k. Ezekr&#337;l sokan azt hiszik j&#243;sl&#225;sra alkalmasak, pedig err&#337;l sz&#243; sincs. Ink&#225;bb ir&#225;nymutat&#243;k. Az eg&#233;sz szerkezet&#233;t, fel&#233;p&#237;t&#233;s&#233;t, jelk&#233;prendszer&#233;t nagyon tudatos d&#246;nt&#233;sek, tapasztalatok alapj&#225;n alak&#237;tott&#225;k ki, hossz&#250; &#233;vek sor&#225;n, hogy a k&#252;l&#246;nb&#246;z&#337; emberi archet&#237;pusokon kereszt&#252;l, az emberi l&#233;lek &#250;tj&#225;t, a spiritu&#225;lis fejl&#337;d&#233;st, &#233;s az &#233;let nagyobb ciklusait &#233;s fordul&#243;pontjait szimboliz&#225;lva seg&#237;tse, aki hozz&#225; fordul. Am&#237;g a k&#225;rty&#225;k lefel&#233; ford&#237;tva vannak az asztalon, azok a "tiszta potenci&#225;l" &#225;llapot&#225;ban pihennek. A tarot kivet&#233;sekor, am&#237;g nem h&#250;zod ki a k&#225;rty&#225;t, fenn&#225;ll a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;, &#225;m amikor felteszel egy k&#233;rd&#233;st, a k&#233;rd&#233;sed egyfajta "m&#233;r&#233;st" ind&#237;t el a tudatalattidban minden l&#233;tez&#337; inform&#225;ci&#243;t, tapasztalatot, hat&#225;st &#246;sszegy&#369;jtve ig&#233;nybe v&#233;ve ehhez, hogy lem&#233;rje az &#246;sszes k&#233;rd&#233;ssel kapcsolatos dolgot, &#237;gy a k&#225;rty&#225;k k&#246;z&#252;l a rendszer a sz&#225;modra relev&#225;ns inform&#225;ci&#243;t, v&#225;laszt fogja "kidobni". Ez nem j&#246;vend&#337;mond&#225;s, hanem &#225;llapotfelm&#233;r&#233;s. A Tarot nem azt mondja meg, mi fog t&#246;rt&#233;nni, hanem azt, hogy a jelen pillanat szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;j&#225;ban melyik ir&#225;nynak van a legnagyobb val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;gi intenzit&#225;sa. &#205;gy m&#225;r a k&#233;rd&#233;sfeltev&#233;s &#233;s a k&#225;rtya kih&#250;z&#225;sa el&#246;tt &#246;sszeomlasztja a hull&#225;mf&#252;ggv&#233;nyt a megfelel&#337; lapra. Nincs minden eleve elrendelve, hiszen a tudat megfigyel&#233;sei, d&#246;nt&#233;sei, a kvantum &#246;sszefon&#243;d&#225;s, a kollekt&#237;va megfigyel&#233;sei, &#233;s a v&#225;ratlan esem&#233;nyek a tarot &#225;ltal jelzett ir&#225;nyt b&#225;rmikor megv&#225;ltoztathatj&#225;k. &#205;gy b&#225;r a tarot k&#225;rty&#225;k el&#337;re jelezhetnek az &#233;let&#252;nk ter&#252;letein k&#252;l&#246;nb&#246;z&#337; ir&#225;nyokat, de nem v&#233;geredm&#233;nyeket.

A tarot igaz&#225;b&#243;l egy olyan medit&#225;ci&#243;s eszk&#246;z, amelyn&#233;l egy t&#233;m&#225;t te id&#233;zel meg a k&#233;rd&#233;seddel, &#233;s a kapott v&#225;laszok megfejt&#233;se egy meditat&#237;v folyamatt&#225;, feladatt&#225; v&#225;lik. A feltett k&#233;rd&#233;sed &#233;s a kapott v&#225;laszok jelk&#233;pei k&#246;z&#246;tt h&#250;z&#243;d&#243; p&#225;rhuzamokat, elkezded megkeresni. &#201;s itt j&#246;n a nagy k&#233;rd&#233;s. Te magyar&#225;zod-e bele a jelk&#233;peket a k&#233;rd&#233;sed t&#233;m&#225;j&#225;ba, vagy a lapok val&#243;ban a k&#233;rd&#233;shez idomul&#243; jelk&#233;pek-e. Az igazs&#225;g az, hogy mindkett&#337; lehets&#233;ges. De akkor mi&#233;rt van &#233;rtelme? B&#225;rmi is az oka, a jelk&#233;pek &#233;s a k&#233;rd&#233;sed t&#233;m&#225;j&#225;nak &#246;sszevet&#233;s&#233;vel, foglalkozol a feltett k&#233;rd&#233;ssel, &#237;gy a k&#225;rty&#225;k, valamint a rajtuk l&#233;v&#337; jelk&#233;pek amolyan felold&#243;kulcsok lesznek, amelyek seg&#237;tik a tudatod, tudatalattid r&#225;vezetni egy megold&#225;sra, d&#246;nt&#233;sre, &#250;tra, felismer&#233;sre. 

R&#225;ad&#225;sul a k&#233;peknek is van rezg&#233;se. A tudatalatti pedig k&#233;pekkel kommunik&#225;l, archetipikus k&#233;pekkel gondolkodik. A Tarot lapjai nem csak rajzok, hanem inform&#225;ci&#243;s csomagok. Amikor r&#225;n&#233;zel egy lapra, a tudatod "dek&#243;dolja" a szimb&#243;lumot, &#233;s k&#225;rtya seg&#237;t a tudatodnak "lem&#233;rni" a saj&#225;t bels&#337; &#225;llapotodat, amit verb&#225;lisan tal&#225;n nem is tudn&#225;l megfogalmazni. 

L&#225;tod ezt a k&#233;pet, S&#225;t&#225;n? Ez te vagy. Ez az &#214;rd&#246;g lapja. De nem a hatalmadat &#225;br&#225;zolja, hanem a rabs&#225;godat. Azt hiszed, te l&#225;ncoltad le az embereket, de n&#233;zd meg jobban: a l&#225;nc rajtad is ott van. Te vagy a saj&#225;t v&#225;gyaid, a saj&#225;t uralmad &#233;s a saj&#225;t f&#233;lelmeid foglya. Az &#246;rd&#246;g lapja a t&#250;lz&#243; ragaszkod&#225;st &#233;s a f&#252;gg&#337;s&#233;get, bels&#337; k&#246;t&#246;tts&#233;get jelenti, hogy rabja egy ill&#250;zi&#243;nak, d&#252;hnek, v&#225;gynak, korl&#225;toz&#243;, toxikus hiedelemnek, kapcsolatnak. De ha megn&#233;zed a k&#225;rtya klasszikus &#225;br&#225;zol&#225;s&#225;t, l&#225;thatod, hogy az &#214;rd&#246;g tr&#243;nj&#225;hoz l&#225;ncolt alakok nyak&#225;n a l&#225;nc laza. B&#225;rmikor leemelhetn&#233;k, m&#233;gis ott maradnak. Az &#214;rd&#246;g lapja a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; besz&#369;k&#252;l&#233;se: amikor a v&#233;gtelen lehet&#337;s&#233;gek helyett csak azt az egyet l&#225;tod, amihez g&#246;rcs&#246;sen ragaszkodsz.

-&#9;Annyira unom, hogy mindig rossz sz&#237;nben vagyok felt&#252;ntetve&#8230; -mondta S&#225;t&#225;n csal&#243;dottan.

-&#9;Vedd le a l&#225;ncot magadr&#243;l S&#225;t&#225;n.  Haszn&#225;ld a k&#233;pzeleted, t&#246;rd meg a szok&#225;sok mint&#225;it. B&#237;zz benne, hogy ha valamit kell&#337; amplit&#250;d&#243;val szeretn&#233;l, akkor az l&#233;trej&#246;het a k&#233;pzeletedb&#337;l. 

-&#9;Sz&#243;val, azt &#225;ll&#237;tod, hogy ha &#233;n p&#233;ld&#225;ul elk&#233;pzelem, hogy majd err&#337;l a jelenlegi tal&#225;lkoz&#225;sunkr&#243;l, besz&#233;lget&#233;s&#252;nkr&#337;l &#237;r valaki egy k&#246;nyvet, akkor az megval&#243;sulhat? 

-&#9;Igen. Fenn&#225;ll az es&#233;lye. B&#225;r a val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;gi amplit&#250;d&#243;ja ennek az elk&#233;pzel&#233;snek el&#233;g kicsi, mivel nem egy mintak&#246;vet&#337; t&#246;rt&#233;net lenne az, hogy &#233;n elj&#246;nn&#233;k hozz&#225;d, &#233;s kvantumfizikai ismereteken kereszt&#252;l mutatn&#225;m be a spiritualit&#225;s jelent&#337;s&#233;geit, &#233;s extrak&#233;nt m&#233;g megv&#225;lt&#225;st is k&#237;n&#225;ln&#233;k neked.

-&#9;J&#243;&#8230;De ha l&#233;trej&#246;nne egy ilyen k&#246;nyv, akkor az azt jelenten&#233;, hogy most az olvas&#243; tudata is itt van vel&#252;nk, mert &#233;pp a r&#243;lunk sz&#243;l&#243; sorokat olvassa? Bele ker&#252;lne a k&#246;nyvbe?

-&#9;Igen. Ha ez l&#233;trej&#246;nne, akkor most az olvas&#243; &#233;s az &#237;r&#243; tudata is itt van vel&#252;nk. Ez j&#243;l &#233;rz&#233;keltetn&#233;, hogy mindig van, aki megfigyel. Ha megval&#243;sulna a k&#246;nyv, akkor az &#237;r&#243;val, az olvas&#243;val, &#233;s vel&#252;nk is egy l&#225;thatatlan inform&#225;ci&#243;csere lenne, &#233;s k&#246;z&#246;s rezonanci&#225;ban lenn&#233;nk. Ha megtudn&#225;nk, hogy itt van e vel&#252;nk az olvas&#243;, akkor az bizony&#237;t&#233;k lenne r&#225;, hogy a k&#246;nyv meg&#237;r&#243;dott.

Ki akarod pr&#243;b&#225;lni? Meg akarod tudni? &#8211; k&#233;rdezte J&#233;zus. 

-&#9;Nan&#225;. Pr&#243;b&#225;ljuk - felelte S&#225;t&#225;n lelkesen, &#233;s teljes izgatotts&#225;ggal. &#8211; De hogy fogjuk kider&#237;teni, hogy itt van-e?

-&#9;&#220;zenj&#252;nk az olvas&#243;nak az &#237;r&#243;n kereszt&#252;l, hogy f&#250;jjon egy nagyot a k&#246;nyv lapjaira, majd &#237;rjon k&#233;t opci&#243;t sz&#225;m&#225;ra, mint a feleletv&#225;laszt&#243;s k&#246;nyvekn&#233;l, hogy megf&#250;jta-e a lapot vagy sem. Ha az igent v&#225;lasztja, kap egy feladatot, &#233;s megk&#233;rj&#252;k, hogy pr&#243;b&#225;lja meg, a tudat&#225;val, a gondolatai, &#233;rzelmei, saj&#225;t rezg&#233;se &#225;ltal elk&#252;ldeni nek&#252;nk a v&#225;laszt. Ha a nem f&#250;jja meg a k&#246;nyvet, att&#243;l m&#233;g ugyan&#250;gy l&#233;tezhet a k&#246;nyv, csak mi nem fogjuk megtudni. Azonban miel&#337;tt megf&#250;jn&#225;, mindk&#233;t lehet&#337;s&#233;g fenn&#225;llna, de amint elolvassa a k&#233;r&#233;s&#252;nk, d&#246;nt&#233;st hoz, a tudat&#225;val beavatkozik a t&#246;rt&#233;netbe, m&#243;dos&#237;tva azt. Az olvas&#243; agy&#225;ban lej&#225;tsz&#243;d&#243; elektromos impulzusok, a meg&#233;rt&#233;s folyamata, elm&#233;letileg visszahatnak a forr&#225;sra.

-&#9;De J&#233;zus. Mi &#233;rtelme a f&#250;j&#225;snak? Nem lenne el&#233;g, ha csak azt &#252;zenn&#233;nk az olvas&#243;nak, hogy oldjon meg egy feladatot &#233;s a v&#225;laszt pr&#243;b&#225;lja elk&#252;ldeni a tudata &#225;ltal?

-&#9;A f&#250;j&#225;s egyfajta r&#237;tus lenne, ami a kapcsolatot visszaigazoln&#225;. Ha az olvas&#243; t&#252;dej&#233;b&#337;l ki&#225;raml&#243; leveg&#337;molekul&#225;k, amelyek m&#225;r k&#246;lcs&#246;nhat&#225;sban ker&#252;ltek az olvas&#243; t&#252;d&#337;j&#233;vel, &#233;s a f&#250;j&#225;s ut&#225;n a k&#246;nyv molekul&#225;ival tal&#225;lkoztak, &#246;sszefon&#243;dtak, &#233;s interakci&#243;ba ker&#252;ltek egym&#225;ssal, igazoln&#225;, hogy a k&#246;nyv l&#233;tezik, mert az &#237;r&#243; le&#237;rta, amit akartunk, teh&#225;t a tudatunk hatott r&#225;. Amikor ezt olvassa az olvas&#243;, r&#225;j&#246;n majd, siker&#252;lt a k&#237;s&#233;rlet mert olvassa a k&#246;nyvet. Mi pedig onnan tudjuk, hogy az olvas&#243; vel&#252;nk van, hogy a vil&#225;gunkba visszahat a feladat megold&#225;sa, amit elk&#252;ld nek&#252;nk a tudata &#225;ltal... Persze csak ha azt v&#225;lasztja, hogy r&#225;f&#250;j a k&#246;nyvre.

A d&#246;nt&#233;se f&#252;ggeni fog a kedv&#233;t&#337;l, a j&#225;t&#233;koss&#225;gi hajlam&#225;t&#243;l, amelyet a m&#250;lt tapasztalatai &#233;s a jelleme alak&#237;tott ki, de f&#252;ggeni fog a k&#246;rnyezet hat&#225;sait&#243;l is, hogy megf&#250;jja e vagy sem. Gondolj bele, ha p&#233;ld&#225;ul egy irod&#225;ban dolgozik &#233;s ott vannak a munkat&#225;rsai, akik l&#225;thatj&#225;k olvas&#225;s k&#246;zben, akkor nem biztos, hogy olyan b&#225;tran egy k&#246;nyvet fog f&#250;jdog&#225;lna el&#246;tt&#252;k&#8230; m&#233;g azt hinn&#233;k meg&#337;r&#252;lt. Persze &#250;gy is d&#246;nthet, hogy sz&#237;nlel, &#233;s &#250;gy tesz mintha csak &#233;telmorzs&#225;t f&#250;jna le r&#243;la. 

-&#9;De hogy fogjuk megmondani az &#237;r&#243;nak, hogy &#237;rja be a k&#233;r&#233;s&#252;nket a k&#246;nyv&#233;be?

-&#9;S&#225;t&#225;n te vagy az ego. Az ego minden emberi l&#233;ny r&#233;sze. Kvantum &#246;sszefon&#243;d&#225;sban vagy b&#225;rkivel. Sz&#243;val csak v&#225;lassz valakit, &#233;s k&#233;pzeld el, hogy &#337; &#237;rja meg a k&#246;nyvet a k&#233;r&#233;s&#252;nkkel.

-&#9;Te meg az Isteni akarat megtestes&#237;t&#337;je vagy, &#250;gyhogy neked ez jobban megy.

-&#9;Tudod mit? Csin&#225;ljuk egy&#252;tt.

-&#9;Ok. Csin&#225;ljuk. De kit v&#225;lasszunk? 

-&#9;A javaslatom: olyan legyen, aki szokott &#237;rni. Mert aki sosem &#237;r ann&#225;l el&#233;g kicsi az es&#233;ly, hogy majd neki&#225;ll. Nem &#225;rt, ha nyitott gondolkod&#225;s&#250; &#233;s befogad&#243; a tudata erre a t&#246;rt&#233;netre, j&#243;, ha &#233;rdekli a kvantumfizika, &#233;s ne legyen egy ismert szem&#233;lyis&#233;g, mert akkor a tudata jobban bomb&#225;zva van k&#252;ls&#337; hat&#225;sokkal, elv&#225;r&#225;sokkal, &#233;s az &#252;zenet&#252;nk nehezebben &#233;r c&#233;lba.

-&#9;Hogy tal&#225;lunk ilyet J&#233;zus?

-&#9;N&#233;zd&#8230;tal&#225;ltam valakit. Mit sz&#243;lsz ehhez a n&#337;h&#246;z? 

-&#9;De h&#225;t ez egy buddhista. 

-&#9;&#201;s?

-&#9;Most komolyan azt akarod mondani, hogy egy buddhista &#237;rjon k&#246;nyvet r&#243;lunk... J&#233;zusr&#243;l &#233;s S&#225;t&#225;nr&#243;l? Hol lesz az hiteles??? R&#225;ad&#225;sul biztos nem mi ketten lesz&#252;nk azok, akikkel foglalkozni akar, f&#337;leg nem k&#246;nyvet &#237;rni r&#243;lunk. Ez tot&#225;l &#337;r&#252;lts&#233;g.

-&#9;Csak pr&#243;b&#225;ljuk meg. Ez a n&#337; szokott medit&#225;lni, ami &#225;ltal r&#225; tud kapcsol&#243;dni a mindens&#233;g energi&#225;ira, &#233;s tal&#225;n k&#246;nnyebben eljuttathatjuk az &#252;zenet&#252;nket hozz&#225;.

S&#225;t&#225;n a homlok&#225;ra csapott, &#233;s azt mondta:

-&#9;Nem hiszem el, hogy ezt csin&#225;lom. Elment az eszed J&#233;zus! Nem tudom, milyen tudatm&#243;dos&#237;t&#243;t kapt&#225;l a te Istenedt&#337;l, de ma el&#233;g fura vagy.

-&#9;Tudsz jobbat vagy nem? Most be&#233;rj&#252;k ezzel. Csukd le a szemed k&#233;pzeld el az &#237;r&#243;t, hogy meg&#237;rja a k&#246;nyvet, &#233;s azt is, hogy az &#252;zenet&#252;nket bele&#237;rja az olvas&#243;nak.

          J&#233;zus &#233;s S&#225;t&#225;n p&#225;r perces medit&#225;l&#225;s ut&#225;n:

S&#225;t&#225;n teljesen megd&#246;bbent. A cetlit kit&#233;pte J&#233;zus kez&#233;b&#337;l &#233;s m&#233;g k&#246;zelebb emelte a szem&#233;hez. Azt&#225;n megn&#233;zte t&#225;volabbr&#243;l is, t&#246;bbsz&#246;r k&#246;rbe forgatta, &#233;s m&#233;g a napf&#233;ny fel&#233; is feltartotta, hogy alaposan szem&#252;gyre vehesse, pedig az ilyesmi kimondottan t&#225;vol &#225;ll t&#337;le. Legsz&#237;vesebben sik&#237;tva &#252;v&#246;lt&#246;tte volna, ijedten a cetlit f&#246;ldre dobva, remegve mutogatva r&#225;, hogy: S&#193;T&#193;NIZMUS!  -de m&#233;g ezt sem tehette- mert &#337; maga volt a S&#225;t&#225;n. F&#233;lelem t&#246;lt&#246;tte el, hogy egy ilyen rendszer uralkodik rajta. Les&#250;jt&#243; volt sz&#225;m&#225;ra, hogy J&#233;zusnak igaza volt. A matematika ritu&#225;l&#233;j&#225;nak ez a sze&#225;nsza, r&#225;&#233;bresztette, hogy egy &#243;ri&#225;si hatalom ir&#225;ny&#237;t&#225;sa alatt &#225;ll. R&#225;j&#246;tt, hogy egy egyetemes, absztrakt le&#237;r&#243; nyelvel kommunik&#225;l ez a hatalom, amely prec&#237;z szimb&#243;lumrendszerrel, sz&#225;mokkal, m&#369;veleti jelekkel, v&#225;ltoz&#243;kkal, modellezi a val&#243;s&#225;g strukt&#250;r&#225;it, &#246;sszef&#252;gg&#233;seit &#233;s a term&#233;szet t&#246;rv&#233;nyeit. Arra gondolt matematikusnak kellene lennie, ha szembe akar sz&#225;llni ezzel az er&#337;vel, hogy lehallgassa a rendszert.
Eddig azt hitte, hogy Isten az ellenfele, aki egy m&#225;sik oldalt k&#233;pvisel, &#233;s akit majd egyszer a saj&#225;t &#233;rveivel, m&#243;dszereivel megd&#246;nthet, &#233;s es&#233;lye lenne gy&#337;zni felette. De most, soha semmit nem k&#237;v&#225;nt jobban, mint, hogy visszakapja azt az Istent, akir&#337;l eddig azt gondolta, az ellenfele. &#218;gy &#233;rezte, hogy ez ellen a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; &#225;ltal vez&#233;relt intelligens rendszer ellen tehetetlen, &#233;s &#225;lland&#243;an ki lesz t&#233;ve m&#225;sok figyelm&#233;nek, hat&#225;sainak, k&#246;vetkezm&#233;nyeinek, &#233;s nem fog tudni teljes uralmat gyakorolni sem &#246;nmaga sem m&#225;sok felett. M&#233;rhetetlen d&#252;h keletkezett benne tehetetlens&#233;ge miatt. Most m&#233;g arra is k&#233;ptelen volt, hogy ezt kiadja mag&#225;b&#243;l, &#233;s elragadja egy sz&#233;ls&#337;s&#233;ges indulat. &#214;sszerogyva &#252;lt a f&#246;ld&#246;n, m&#233;lyen hallgatott, &#233;s rettegett &#8230; f&#233;ltette azt, akit &#246;nmag&#225;nak gondolt, akire b&#252;szke volt, akiben hitt. Megk&#233;rd&#337;jelezte saj&#225;t l&#233;tez&#233;s&#233;t, jelent&#337;s&#233;g&#233;t, hatalm&#225;t. &#218;gy omlott &#246;ssze az ill&#250;zi&#243;ib&#243;l fel&#233;p&#237;tett k&#225;rtyav&#225;ra, hogy azok &#243;loms&#250;lyk&#233;nt nyomt&#225;k &#246;ssze azt, ami &#337; volt&#8230;az Ego-t.

J&#233;zus azonnal &#233;szrevette S&#225;t&#225;n sz&#243;tlans&#225;g&#225;t:

-&#9;Minden rendben S&#225;t&#225;n? Hiszen Siker&#252;lt a k&#237;s&#233;rlet. -sz&#243;lt lelkes&#237;t&#337;en. 

-&#9;Siker&#252;lt&#8230;-v&#225;laszolt teljes lehangolts&#225;ggal. Az is siker&#252;lt, hogy r&#225;j&#246;jjek a jelen&#233;ktelens&#233;gemre.

-&#9;Eml&#233;kezz r&#225; S&#225;t&#225;n. Te vagy az EGO.

-&#9;H&#225;t pont ez az. Az EGO csak egy szolga. 

J&#233;zus l&#225;tta, hogy S&#225;t&#225;n vil&#225;ga leomlott &#233;s maga al&#225; temette. Szinte fuldokolt az ill&#250;zi&#243;iban, &#233;s a b&#252;szkes&#233;ge sem volt m&#225;r ott neki &#250;sz&#243;gumik&#233;nt, hogy kimentse, mert hatalmas lyuk t&#225;tongott rajta.

-&#9;J&#243;l figyelj most S&#225;t&#225;n -kezdte el J&#233;zus- Te nem szolga vagy, hanem Isten kiv&#233;teles eszk&#246;ze. De elfelejtetted. Te vagy az, aki uralod az emberi &#233;let&#246;szt&#246;nt, a fajfenntart&#225;st, aki megv&#233;di az egy&#233;nt, v&#233;delmi mechanizmusokat l&#233;trehozva. Te vagy az ember realit&#225;s&#233;rz&#233;k&#233;nek meg&#337;rz&#337;je, a logikus gondolkod&#225;s &#337;re, az &#233;ntudat kialak&#237;t&#243;ja, aki seg&#237;t a c&#233;lok el&#233;r&#233;sben, a v&#225;gyak &#233;s a lehet&#337;s&#233;gek k&#246;zti egyens&#250;ly megteremt&#233;s&#233;ben. A m&#250;ltbeli tapasztalatokra &#233;p&#237;tve alak&#237;tja ki a jelenbeli reakci&#243;inkat. Csak rajtad kereszt&#252;l tanulhat az ember, a karm&#225;kon, a m&#250;lt tapasztalatain kereszt&#252;l. Te vagy az, aki v&#233;gig k&#237;s&#233;red az emberi lelket a f&#246;ldi &#233;letei sor&#225;n, hogy fejl&#337;dhessen, tanulhasson, mint egy tan&#246;sv&#233;nyen, felemelve &#337;ket, egy magasabb rezg&#233;sbe, majd te tudod az embert pr&#243;b&#225;ra is tenni hogy alkalmasak-e a tov&#225;bbl&#233;p&#233;sre, s ha kell k&#233;pes vagy fokozatosan h&#225;tt&#233;rbe szor&#237;tani magad. Ezt mind elfelejtetted S&#225;t&#225;n. B&#225;r m&#233;g benned van a tudattalan m&#369;k&#246;d&#233;s azzal kapcsolatban, hogy az embert v&#233;dd, &#233;s seg&#237;tsd, de mindezt t&#250;lm&#369;k&#246;dve teszed. A m&#369;k&#246;d&#233;sed egyens&#250;lya megborult. A f&#233;lelmek, a d&#252;h, bossz&#250;, irigys&#233;g, moh&#243;s&#225;g ir&#225;ny&#237;t, mert ezekkel azt hiszed gyorsabban c&#233;lt &#233;rsz, &#233;s elker&#252;lheted a probl&#233;m&#225;kat. De amint l&#225;tod a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;, &#233;s a kollekt&#237;v tudat, m&#369;k&#246;d&#233;se miatt, nem egyed&#252;l minden a te felel&#337;ss&#233;ged. A t&#246;rt&#233;n&#233;sek sokszor kisz&#225;m&#237;thatatlanok, &#233;s neked ebben kell megfelelned, helyt&#225;llnod, ami neh&#233;z S&#225;t&#225;n.  A kollekt&#237;v megfigyel&#233;s nem b&#246;rt&#246;n, hanem az &#246;sszhang, a k&#246;z&#246;s ritmus megtal&#225;l&#225;sa. Hi&#225;ba akarn&#225;d a k&#246;vet aranny&#225; v&#225;ltoztatni puszt&#225;n moh&#243;s&#225;gb&#243;l, a sz&#225;nd&#233;k sz&#233;tforg&#225;csol&#243;dna a Mindens&#233;g ellen&#225;ll&#225;s&#225;n. Nem az&#233;rt nem siker&#252;lne, mert nem lenne hozz&#225; hatalmad, hanem mert a sz&#225;nd&#233;k nem kapcsol&#243;dna az Eg&#233;szhez. &#201;rted m&#225;r? A szereped t&#246;bb mint gondolod. Az emberek egy mitol&#243;giai l&#233;nny&#233; form&#225;ltak kult&#250;r&#225;ikban, hogy magukon k&#237;v&#252;lre helyezz&#233;k a felel&#337;ss&#233;g&#252;ket, mintha minden k&#237;s&#233;rt&#233;s, cs&#225;b&#237;t&#225;s egy k&#252;ls&#337; l&#233;nyt&#337;l sz&#225;rmazna. De meg kell &#233;rtened, te nem vagy alapvet&#337;en gonosz. Amikor megfelel&#337;en m&#369;k&#246;dsz, k&#233;pes vagy elviselni azt is, ha sz&#252;ks&#233;ges, hogy az ember a tudat&#225;val, uralkodjon feletted, &#233;s azt is, hogy a kollekt&#237;v tudat, Isten akarata &#233;rv&#233;nyes&#252;lj&#246;n a sz&#225;nd&#233;kod ellen&#233;ben. 

S&#225;t&#225;n, J&#233;zus besz&#233;d&#233;t hallgatva, minden egyes mondat ut&#225;n &#250;gy &#233;rezte, mintha egy hossz&#250; ideig &#246;nt&#246;zetlen fa lenne, akit most valaki locsolni kezdett volna&#8230; Szinte szivacsk&#233;nt sz&#237;vta be J&#233;zus gy&#243;gy&#237;t&#243; szavait. &#201;rezte ahogy t&#225;pl&#225;lja, &#233;s n&#246;vekedik saj&#225;t &#233;rt&#233;k&#233;nek felismer&#233;s&#233;t&#337;l. 

J&#233;zus l&#225;tta, hogy S&#225;t&#225;n figyelme &#233;l&#233;nkebb&#233; v&#225;lt, &#237;gy folytatta:

-&#9;L&#225;tod itt ezt a hatalmas f&#225;t? Hogy tetszik?

S&#225;t&#225;n kiss&#233; megr&#225;nd&#237;tott a v&#225;ll&#225;t, &#233;s csak annyit felelt: 

-&#9;Most nem tud &#233;rdekelni. Ez csak egy fa.

N&#233;zd meg k&#246;zelebbr&#337;l. A f&#225;k csod&#225;latosak. Olyanok, mint a vil&#225;gmindens&#233;g. Az eget &#233;s a f&#246;ldet egy tengelyen k&#246;tik &#246;ssze. A gy&#246;kerek, a s&#246;t&#233;tben, a f&#246;ld alatt kapaszkodnak. Ez a tartom&#225;ny, ahol a val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;gi amplit&#250;d&#243;k gy&#246;kereznek. Itt d&#337;l el, mennyi t&#225;panyagot, energi&#225;t, tapasztal&#225;st tud felvenni a l&#233;tez&#233;s, a kollekt&#237;v m&#250;ltb&#243;l.

A gy&#246;kerek az &#246;szt&#246;n&#246;k, a tudatalatti, a fizikai test sz&#252;ks&#233;gletei, v&#225;gyai, a m&#250;lt tapasztalatainak, a bej&#225;ratott amplit&#250;d&#243;knak &#233;s a fizikai r&#246;gz&#252;lts&#233;geknek a vil&#225;ga. Ez tartja meg a f&#225;t, innen j&#246;n az energia. Ez az ego t&#225;ptalaja. Ahhoz, hogy a korona magasra n&#337;hessen, a gy&#246;kereknek ugyanolyan m&#233;lyre kell hatolniuk. 
A t&#246;rzs az &#246;sszek&#246;t&#337; kapocs, a tengely. Ez felel meg az emberi &#233;letnek &#233;s a mindennapi &#233;ber tudatnak. Itt &#225;ramlik az energia, a f&#246;ldb&#337;l az &#233;g fel&#233; &#233;s vissza. Ez a f&#252;gg&#337;leges tengely, a pillanat, ahol a gy&#246;kerekb&#337;l j&#246;v&#337; lehet&#337;s&#233;g anyagg&#225;, fat&#246;rzzs&#233; s&#369;r&#369;s&#246;dik. Ez a megfigyel&#233;sek helysz&#237;ne, ahol a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; &#246;sszeomlik most-t&#225;, &#233;s ahol a szellem testet &#246;lt. Ez a r&#233;sz, amely l&#225;that&#243; a vil&#225;g sz&#225;m&#225;ra; itt zajlik a fejl&#337;d&#233;s, a n&#246;veked&#233;s &#233;s a tapasztal&#225;s.

A lombkorona a Tiszta Tudat, a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;. A v&#233;gtelen lehet&#337;s&#233;gek, ahol a sz&#252;letend&#337; j&#246;v&#337; levelei hajtanak. Az &#225;gak a f&#233;ny fel&#233; t&#246;rekszenek, &#233;s a v&#233;gtelens&#233;gbe &#225;gaznak sz&#233;t. Ez a szint jelk&#233;pezi a felemelked&#233;st, a transzcendenst, az isteni szf&#233;r&#225;t vagy a kozmikus tudatoss&#225;got. Jelk&#233;pezi a gy&#252;m&#246;lcs&#246;z&#233;st, a szellemi megvil&#225;gosod&#225;st, az alkot&#225;st &#233;s a kapcsol&#243;d&#225;st. Ahogy az &#225;gak el&#233;rik az eget, &#250;gy kapcsol&#243;dik az emberi l&#233;lek a forr&#225;shoz vagy a fels&#337;bb &#233;nj&#233;hez. Az &#225;gak milli&#243; ir&#225;nyba &#225;gaznak sz&#233;t az &#233;g fel&#233;. Minden egyes lev&#233;l egy-egy lehets&#233;ges j&#246;v&#337;, egy-egy kimenetel a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;ban.

A Vil&#225;gfa egy inform&#225;ci&#243;, energia &#225;raml&#225;s. Felsz&#225;ll a gy&#246;kerekt&#337;l a lombig, majd vissza. Te, mint a Vil&#225;gfa gy&#246;k&#233;rzete, nem a rendszer ellens&#233;ge vagy, hanem annak alapk&#246;ve.
Te csak a gy&#246;kerek g&#246;rcs&#246;s kapaszkod&#225;s&#225;t l&#225;tod a s&#246;t&#233;tben, &#233;s azt hiszed, a fa az&#233;rt van, hogy fogva tartsa a f&#246;ldet. De a fa val&#243;j&#225;ban egy &#233;l&#337; frakt&#225;l, egy antenna a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; &#233;s az anyag k&#246;z&#246;tt. A gy&#246;kereid, a m&#250;ltad t&#225;pl&#225;lj&#225;k a lombot, a lehet&#337;s&#233;get, &#233;s a lomb f&#233;nye &#233;lteti a gy&#246;kereidet. Ha elengeded a l&#225;ncaidat, te leszel az, aki a m&#233;lyb&#337;l a magasba emeli a tapasztalatot, hogy az Ig&#233;vel tal&#225;lkozva vir&#225;got bontson.
A sztyepp&#233;n &#225;ll&#243; mag&#225;nyos fa &#237;gy v&#225;lik egyfajta &#233;l&#337; antenn&#225;v&#225; a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; &#233;s az anyagi vil&#225;g k&#246;z&#246;tt.

S&#225;t&#225;n ekkor m&#225;r egyfajta m&#243;dosult tudat&#225;llapotba ker&#252;lt J&#233;zus szavait&#243;l, &#233;s teljes bels&#337; lecsendesed&#233;s lett &#250;rr&#225; rajta, ahol a tudattalan tartalmak felsz&#237;nre t&#246;rnek.
Hosszan b&#225;multa a f&#225;t, &#233;s most el&#337;sz&#246;r vette igaz&#225;n szem&#252;gyre azt a kocs&#225;nyos t&#246;lgyet, ami mindig is ott &#225;llt el&#246;tte. A fa &#243;ri&#225;si volt. A t&#246;rzse olyan sz&#233;les, hogy k&#246;rbe kellett j&#225;rni, ha minden r&#233;sz&#233;t l&#225;tni szerette volna. A fa t&#246;rzs&#233;ben egy hatalmas reped&#233;s volt, egy seb, ami miatt j&#243; r&#233;sze hi&#225;nyzott. Tal&#225;n egy vill&#225;mcsap&#225;s tette ezt vele. Ez a r&#233;sz elhalt volt, &#233;s egy&#233;rtelm&#369;en l&#225;tszott s&#250;lyos s&#233;r&#252;l&#233;se. &#201;szrevette, hogy a fa pont &#250;gy hozott egy &#225;gat, hogy annak levelei ezt gondosan elfedt&#233;k, mintha el akarn&#225; takarni sebes&#252;l&#233;s&#233;t. A fa lombkoron&#225;ja m&#233;gis terjedelmes volt, &#233;s rendk&#237;v&#252;l szerte&#225;gaz&#243;, s&#369;r&#369;n, levelekkel &#225;tsz&#337;ve. M&#225;r messzir&#337;l lehetett l&#225;tni a m&#233;lt&#243;s&#225;gteljes k&#252;llem&#233;t, ahogy kiemelkedik a t&#246;bbi fa k&#246;z&#252;l. T&#246;k&#233;letes volt, gy&#246;ny&#246;r&#369;, &#233;s a reped&#233;se csak egyedibb&#233; &#233;s k&#252;l&#246;nlegesebb&#233; tette. &#193;m a gy&#246;k&#233;rzet, ami megtartotta a legnagyobb viharokban is, &#233;s t&#225;pl&#225;lta a fa eg&#233;sz rendszer&#233;t, nem l&#225;tszott. S&#225;t&#225;n, csak most &#233;rtette meg ki is &#337; val&#243;j&#225;ban. Meg&#233;rtette automatizmusainak l&#233;nyeg&#233;t, jelent&#337;s&#233;g&#233;t, s hogy feladata b&#225;r al&#225;rendelt, de n&#233;lk&#252;l&#246;zhetetlen. 

R&#225;j&#246;tt, &#337;, mint az Ego, egy tanul&#225;si k&#246;rnyezet az emberi l&#233;leknek. &#336; nem Istennel szemben &#225;ll, hanem rajta kereszt&#252;l tapasztalja meg Isten az embert. A korl&#225;tok, karm&#225;k, amik k&#246;rbeveszik, nem b&#252;ntet&#233;sek, hanem a hull&#225;mf&#252;ggv&#233;ny terel&#337;falai, amik seg&#237;tenek a tudatnak egy magasabb rend&#369; &#225;llapot fel&#233; &#225;ramlani.

S&#225;t&#225;n g&#337;gje, b&#252;szkes&#233;ge meggyeng&#252;lt, &#233;s a bel&#225;t&#225;sai megbeteg&#237;tett&#233;k az Ego addigi ideol&#243;gi&#225;it. J&#233;zus, r&#246;gt&#246;n &#233;szlelte er&#337;tlens&#233;g&#233;t, &#237;gy megragadta a pillanatot. Itt volt az id&#337; a pr&#243;bat&#233;telre. Felsz&#243;l&#237;totta S&#225;t&#225;nt hat&#225;rozott, p&#225;toszos hangv&#233;telben, hogy szinte az &#233;g is visszhangozta a szavait:

-&#9;S&#225;t&#225;n, ki te is Isten fia vagy, most megk&#237;s&#233;rtem a sz&#237;ved &#233;s az elm&#233;d. Szabott felt&#233;telek n&#233;lk&#252;l, els&#337;k&#233;nt k&#237;s&#233;rtem most meg a te szabad akaratod, Isten akarata &#225;ltal. V&#225;laszolj h&#225;t!

Akarsz e koherenss&#233; v&#225;lni az anyagot fenntart&#243; mez&#337;vel, s a sz&#225;nd&#233;koddal olyann&#225; lenni, hogy a rendszer t&#225;pl&#225;ljon t&#233;ged az Ige ritmusa &#225;ltal?

S&#225;t&#225;nnak a k&#233;rd&#233;s t&#250;l &#225;ltal&#225;nos volt, nem tartalmazott semmi konkr&#233;tumot, sem egy biztos meg&#225;llapod&#225;st valamir&#337;l, csak azt, hogy akar-e egy&#252;ttm&#369;k&#246;dni. &#205;gy csak ennyit tudott mondani J&#233;zusnak:

-&#9;Nemcsak Ig&#233;vel &#233;l az ember, hanem keny&#233;rrel is, s mi Istent&#337;l sz&#225;rmazik. Isten az&#233;rt tud teremteni, mert &#336; Maga a Szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;, de &#233;n, hogy m&#369;k&#246;dhetn&#233;k vele egy&#252;tt, ha az &#337; rendszer&#233;nek a t&#225;pl&#225;l&#225;sa az anyagot fenntart&#243; mez&#337;ben bizonytalan?

N&#233;zd az emberi tapasztalatot, J&#233;zus! A val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;gi amplit&#250;d&#243;k m&#225;r eleve torzak. Az emberi tudatba k&#243;dolt karma &#233;s a kollekt&#237;v f&#233;lelem olyan, mint egy gravit&#225;ci&#243;s k&#250;t. Hi&#225;ba mondod, hogy minden lehets&#233;ges, ha az es&#233;lyek 99%-a az eredm&#233;nytelens&#233;g fel&#233; h&#250;z. Az egy&#233;n hi&#225;ba akar f&#233;nyt, ha a t&#246;bbi megfigyel&#337; &#8211; a t&#225;rsadalom, a m&#250;lt, a fizikai test &#8211; kollekt&#237;v megfigyel&#233;se k&#337;kem&#233;nyen r&#246;gz&#237;ti &#337;t a korl&#225;tai k&#246;z&#233;. Az es&#233;lyek nem egyenl&#337;ek: a s&#246;t&#233;ts&#233;gnek mindig nagyobb az amplit&#250;d&#243;ja.

-&#9;S&#225;t&#225;n, amikor a puszt&#225;ban voltam, &#233;n nem &#233;hen halni mentem oda, hanem 40 napra b&#246;jt&#246;lni. Ez &#243;ri&#225;si k&#252;l&#246;nbs&#233;g. A b&#246;jt a szellem sz&#225;m&#225;ra az&#233;rt el&#337;ny&#246;s, mert a testi t&#225;pl&#225;l&#233;kr&#243;l val&#243; lemond&#225;ssal megteremti a bels&#337; csendet, elm&#233;ly&#237;ti az &#246;nismeretet, &#233;s felszabad&#237;tja az energi&#225;kat a szellemi f&#243;kusz &#233;s a spiritu&#225;lis n&#246;veked&#233;s sz&#225;m&#225;ra. Nem csup&#225;n testi m&#233;regtelen&#237;t&#233;s, hanem tudatos szellemi megtisztul&#225;s is, amely seg&#237;t lecsendes&#237;teni az elm&#233;t &#233;s meger&#337;s&#237;teni az egy&#233;ni utat. &#205;gy a tudatom szabads&#225;ga az &#233;hs&#233;g felett nagyobb priorit&#225;s volt. 

&#201;n nem az anyagot vetem meg. &#201;n mag&#225;t a korl&#225;tot vetem el, amit te &#233;p&#237;tett&#233;l k&#246;r&#233;. Te az&#233;rt akart&#225;l engem keny&#233;rrel k&#237;s&#233;rteni, mert azt hitted, az &#233;hs&#233;gem beb&#246;rt&#246;n&#246;z engem a hi&#225;nyba. De &#233;n akkor is szabad voltam, amikor nem ettem, mert a tudatom nem a keny&#233;rt&#337;l f&#252;gg&#246;tt, hanem att&#243;l a mez&#337;t&#337;l, amib&#337;l a keny&#233;r is v&#233;tetett. A b&#246;rt&#246;n nem az anyag, hanem a ragaszkod&#225;s. &#201;n sem ez a test vagyok, hanem az a tudat, aki ezt a testet ir&#225;ny&#237;tja, aki val&#243;ban uralja a saj&#225;t univerzum&#225;t. Az Ige, vagyis a helyes ritmus a Mindenhat&#243;val, sem tagadja le az &#233;hs&#233;g &#233;rzet&#233;t, de nem engedi, hogy az &#233;hs&#233;g rezg&#233;se hat&#225;rozza meg a teljes val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;gi mez&#337;t.

Ha &#233;n minden k&#337;b&#337;l kenyeret csin&#225;ltam volna, akkor egy olyan Messi&#225;ss&#225; v&#225;lok, aki csak a fizikai j&#243;l&#233;tet biztos&#237;tja. Ha a tudat szabads&#225;ga helyett csup&#225;n a kenyeret adtam volna, akkor az emberis&#233;g csak "h&#225;l&#225;s ny&#225;jk&#233;nt" k&#246;vetne, de elvesz&#237;tette volna a lelk&#233;t, &#233;s a szabad szellem&#233;t. Isten az&#233;rt tud teremteni, mert &#336; Maga a Szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; &#8211; k&#233;pes elengedni az el&#337;z&#337; form&#225;t, hogy &#250;j sz&#252;lessen. Sz&#225;modra a szabads&#225;g elk&#252;l&#246;n&#252;l&#233;s, de val&#243;j&#225;ban a szabads&#225;g, az, ha visszat&#233;rhetsz a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;ba, az egys&#233;gbe, mert a kvantumvil&#225;g l&#233;nyege a potencialit&#225;s.

S&#225;t&#225;n fel s al&#225; j&#225;rk&#225;lt nyugtalanul. Az &#337; ego term&#233;szete nem hagyta, hogy b&#225;rki m&#225;snak &#225;tadja az ir&#225;ny&#237;t&#225;st. Bels&#337; k&#252;zdelmei nem engedt&#233;k ezt meg neki. T&#250;l nagy kock&#225;zat volt&#8230;

J&#233;zus &#250;jra megsz&#243;lalt eget renget&#337; magasztoss&#225;ggal:

-&#9;S&#225;t&#225;n, ki te is Isten fia vagy, most megk&#237;s&#233;rtem a sz&#237;ved &#233;s az elm&#233;d. Szabott felt&#233;telek n&#233;lk&#252;l, m&#225;sodszorra k&#237;s&#233;rtem most meg a te szabad akaratod, Isten akarata &#225;ltal. V&#225;laszolj h&#225;t!

Akarsz-e egy&#233; v&#225;lni a mez&#337;vel, &#233;s megtagadni elk&#252;l&#246;n&#252;l&#233;sed, lemondani a l&#225;zad&#243; b&#252;szkes&#233;ged f&#233;ny&#233;r&#337;l, a l&#225;tv&#225;nyos &#225;ldozati szerepekr&#337;l &#233;s elviselni, hogy csendben szolg&#225;lj ak&#225;r egyetlen porszemet is, hogy k&#246;zben senki nem tapsol neked, &#233;s nem rettegi a nevedet?

-&#9;Ha nem tudhatom meg, hogy a te &#201;gi aty&#225;d megbecs&#252;l-e engem, musz&#225;j lem&#233;rnem az &#337; szeretet&#233;t, amikor az ember legszebb &#233;rdemeinek gy&#252;m&#246;lcs&#233;t &#233;n &#233;rlelem &#233;rett&#233; a fa tetej&#233;n sz&#225;m&#225;ra. &#201;n vagyok Isten kiv&#225;lasztott eszk&#246;ze, aki eld&#246;nti a val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;gi amplit&#250;d&#243;kat, &#237;gy tisztem fontosabb, s nemesebb. Ez&#233;rt teljes&#237;tm&#233;nyem lem&#233;r&#233;se, az &#246;sszehasonl&#237;t&#225;s. &#201;n, mint az Ego, m&#225;sok visszajelz&#233;seinek statisztik&#225;ib&#243;l tudom munk&#225;m eredm&#233;nyess&#233;g&#233;t. Az emberek tisztelete, h&#243;dolata, elismer&#233;se s csod&#225;lata m&#233;rt&#233;ke m&#369;k&#246;d&#233;sem sikere. Ha feladatom ily kiemelt, bizonys&#225;gv&#225;gyam nem b&#369;n, hanem feljogos&#237;t&#225;s munk&#225;m tov&#225;bbi folytat&#225;s&#225;hoz.

-&#9;Ez a bizonys&#225;gv&#225;gy hamis &#250;tra terel. A dicsekv&#233;s, az &#225;ldozati szerepek, csak kik&#233;nyszer&#237;tett hit S&#225;t&#225;n. Az emberek tisztelete, csod&#225;lata, elismer&#233;se nem bizony&#237;tja sikeress&#233;gedet, mert ezeknek szabad akaratb&#243;l, nem pedig egy mutatv&#225;ny k&#233;nyszere alatt kell megsz&#252;letnie. Ha az ego nem kap dics&#233;retet, csod&#225;latot, akkor negat&#237;v reakci&#243;kat pr&#243;b&#225;l el&#337;h&#237;vni &#233;s az&#225;ltal figyelmet kapni: &#8222;K&#233;rlek mondd, hogy l&#233;tezem! K&#233;rlek mondd, hogy nem vagyok jelent&#233;ktelen!&#8221; Az &#225;ldozati szerep az ego egyik nagy taktik&#225;ja. Hasonl&#243;an a panaszkod&#225;shoz, felh&#225;borod&#225;shoz, kritiz&#225;l&#225;shoz vagy &#237;t&#233;lkez&#233;shez &#8211; az &#225;ldozat szerepe &#225;ltal az ego ism&#233;t k&#252;l&#246;nlegesnek &#233;rezheti mag&#225;t &#233;s ezzel csak n&#337;, er&#337;s&#246;dik.

A dicsekv&#233;ssel, hogy lem&#233;rd m&#225;sok reakci&#243;in kereszt&#252;l nagys&#225;godat, ink&#225;bb hitetlens&#233;ged &#246;nmagadban, mintsem magabiztoss&#225;god saj&#225;t &#233;rt&#233;kedben. &#205;gy csup&#225;n egy inform&#225;ci&#243;s v&#225;kuumk&#233;nt m&#369;k&#246;dsz, ami csak akkor &#233;rzi, hogy l&#233;tezik, ha m&#225;sok figyelm&#233;t &#233;s energi&#225;j&#225;t mag&#225;ba sz&#237;vja. A fels&#337;bbrend&#369;s&#233;g l&#225;tszat&#225;val kompenz&#225;lni nem kedvez&#337; amplit&#250;d&#243;kat fog eredm&#233;nyezni.

Te az elk&#252;l&#246;n&#252;lts&#233;gben hat&#225;rozod meg magad. De a val&#243;di hatalom az Esem&#233;nyhorizonton t&#250;l van: ott, ahol feladod az egodat, a kiv&#225;lasztotts&#225;godat, &#233;s visszaolvadsz az Egys&#233;gbe. A megfigyel&#337;k h&#225;l&#243;zata, az &#246;sszefon&#243;d&#225;s, nem b&#233;kly&#243;, hanem az Egys&#233;g sz&#246;vete. An&#233;lk&#252;l is megfigyelik &#233;s megm&#233;rik &#225;llapotod, hogy te kik&#233;nyszer&#237;ten&#233;d azt &#233;rt&#233;keid jelent&#337;s&#233;geivel. Az egyedis&#233;ged f&#233;nylik &#233;s t&#252;nd&#246;k&#246;l majd, ha nem &#225;rny&#233;kolod be &#246;nmagaddal.

S&#225;t&#225;n szorong&#225;sa egyre m&#233;ly&#252;lt, mik&#246;zben, le&#252;lt egy fatusk&#243;ra, &#233;s arc&#225;t kez&#233;be temette. Egyre ink&#225;bb elvesztette &#246;nmaga jelent&#337;s&#233;g&#233;t, &#233;s m&#225;r nem tal&#225;lt vissza ahhoz a S&#225;t&#225;nhoz sem, akit &#246;nmag&#225;nak hitt.
 
J&#233;zus ism&#233;t megsz&#243;l&#237;totta S&#225;t&#225;nt fennk&#246;lti emelkedetts&#233;ggel, melynek szavait az &#233;g &#250;jra visszhangzotta. 

-&#9;S&#225;t&#225;n, ki te is Isten fia vagy, most megk&#237;s&#233;rtem a sz&#237;ved &#233;s az elm&#233;d. Szabott felt&#233;telek n&#233;lk&#252;l, harmadszorra k&#237;s&#233;rtem most meg a te szabad akaratod, Isten akarata &#225;ltal. V&#225;laszolj h&#225;t! 

Akarsz-e a mat&#233;ria fogs&#225;g&#225;b&#243;l szabadulni, s v&#225;llalod-e, hogy elengeded hatalmad, ragaszkod&#225;sod, s kontrollod felette? Elfogadod-e a szeretet &#225;raml&#225;s&#225;ban l&#233;trej&#246;v&#337; v&#225;ltoz&#225;st, &#233;s az anyag form&#225;j&#225;nak &#225;talakul&#225;s&#225;t?

-&#9;Nekem nincs bizalmam a v&#225;ltoz&#225;sban. A v&#225;ltoz&#225;ssal fel kellene adnom azt, aki vagyok. Ez megalkuv&#225;s, nem szabads&#225;g. Az anyag, amit uralok az egyetlen biztos pont. Ha nem &#243;vom meg, a kollekt&#237;v megfigyel&#233;s amplit&#250;d&#243;i elvehetik t&#337;lem-mondta v&#225;laszul S&#225;t&#225;n, hogy m&#225;r alig volt ereje.

-&#9;Most hol van az er&#337;d S&#225;t&#225;n? Mi&#233;rt nem uralkodsz a saj&#225;t r&#233;szecsk&#233;id felett? Te az&#233;rt akarsz birtokolni, &#233;s mindent kontroll alatt tartani, mert f&#233;lsz. F&#233;lsz, hogy csak abban az anyagban l&#233;tezhetsz, ahol &#233;ppen jelen vagy, s hogy egy &#250;j form&#225;ban megsz&#369;nn&#233;l. Azt hiszed min&#233;l t&#246;bb dolgot felhalmozol az ego sz&#225;m&#225;ra ann&#225;l ink&#225;bb bitos&#237;thatod, s megk&#246;theted a hely&#233;t. De nincs szil&#225;rd anyag, csak er&#337;t&#233;r, egym&#225;sba fon&#243;d&#243; rezg&#233;sek. &#205;gy val&#243;j&#225;ban nem birtokolhatsz semmit, csak egy bizonyos frekvenci&#225;t pr&#243;b&#225;lsz kisaj&#225;t&#237;tani magadnak. Te, mint az ego megtestes&#237;t&#337;je megsokszoroz&#243;dva &#233;lsz az emberekben, akik ugyanazt akarj&#225;k, &#233;s egym&#225;s ellens&#233;gei lesznek, &#237;gy &#246;nmagad ellens&#233;gek&#233;nt harcolsz folyamatosan. F&#233;lsz, hogy az &#246;sszefon&#243;d&#225;s miatt kiszolg&#225;ltatott&#225; v&#225;lsz m&#225;s r&#233;szecsk&#233;kt&#337;l, s megfigyel&#337;kt&#337;l. Rettegsz a form&#225;d elveszt&#233;s&#233;t&#337;l ez&#233;rt mindent elk&#246;vetsz, hogy megtartsd &#337;ket ugyanabban a form&#225;ban, &#233;s uralkodj afelett az anyagi vil&#225;g felett is, ami k&#246;rbe veszi &#337;ket. De a te kir&#225;lys&#225;god nem e vil&#225;gb&#243;l val&#243;. A szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; mindenki kir&#225;lys&#225;ga S&#225;t&#225;n. A ti&#233;d is.

Aki m&#225;sokat vagy az anyagot akarja uralni, annak a figyelm&#233;t folyamatosan ezeken kell tartania, &#237;gy rabja a saj&#225;t birodalm&#225;nak. Az uralom fenntart&#225;sa teljes, megosztatlan figyelmet k&#246;vetel, ami felem&#233;szti a teremt&#337; szabad energi&#225;t. A folyamatos megfigyel&#233;s, &#337;rk&#246;d&#233;s meg&#225;ll&#237;tja a rendszer fejl&#337;d&#233;st. Annyira rajta tartod a szemed az "alattval&#243;idon" &#233;s az anyagon, hogy a saj&#225;t megfigyel&#337;i aktusoddal g&#225;tolod meg a saj&#225;t v&#225;ltoz&#225;sod. Nem tudsz visszat&#233;rni a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;ba, mert nem b&#237;rod levenni a szemed a hatalomr&#243;l. Te nem uralkodsz ezek felett, hanem te vagy a legf&#337;bb szolg&#225;juk, hiszen minden percedet az &#337; kord&#225;ban tart&#225;sukra kell &#225;ldoznod. Nem kir&#225;ly vagy, hanem egy b&#246;rt&#246;n&#337;r, aki soha nem hagyhatja el az &#337;rhely&#233;t. 

Olyasmit pr&#243;b&#225;lsz markolni, ami term&#233;szet&#233;n&#233;l fogva csak akkor l&#233;tezik, ha elengedik. Az anyag hull&#225;mterm&#233;szet&#233;t uralni olyan, mintha valaki egy hull&#225;mot akarna bez&#225;rni egy dobozba: a v&#237;z megmarad, de a hull&#225;m, a l&#233;nyeg megsz&#369;nik.
A f&#233;lelmed csak egy jelz&#233;s, hogy szeretsz &#233;lni, de te a jelz&#233;st &#246;sszekevered a val&#243;s&#225;ggal. Maradj meg &#337;rz&#337;nek, maradj meg az &#233;let&#246;szt&#246;nnek, de ne f&#233;lj t&#246;bb&#233; az &#243;ce&#225;nt&#243;l, a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;t&#243;l, amib&#337;l sz&#252;lett&#233;l. A hit nem a kontroll elveszt&#233;se, hanem a bizalom abban, hogy a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; v&#233;gtelenje mindig hazav&#225;r.

A val&#243;di hatalom nem m&#225;sok t&#233;rdre k&#233;nyszer&#237;t&#233;se, hanem ha magadat is h&#225;tt&#233;rbe tudod k&#233;nyszer&#237;teni, hogy m&#225;s felemelkedhessen.

S&#225;t&#225;n t&#233;rdre rogyott. Sz&#225;ja remegett, s folyton sz&#243;ra akart ny&#237;lni, de a szavak &#250;jra &#233;s &#250;jra elfojt&#243;dtak a sz&#225;ja sz&#233;l&#233;hez &#233;rve. Minden erej&#233;t &#246;sszeszedve, J&#233;zus el&#233; k&#250;szott n&#233;gyk&#233;zl&#225;b a porban, majd elcsukl&#243;, megt&#246;rt hangon &#237;gy sz&#243;lt:

-&#9;Most &#233;n hadd k&#233;rdezzek t&#337;led J&#233;zus. Ha ezt megv&#225;laszolod, mind&#246;r&#246;kk&#233; h&#369;s&#233;ges leszek a te Aty&#225;dhoz, s testv&#233;remm&#233; fogadlak.

J&#233;zus beleegyez&#337;en b&#243;lintott, S&#225;t&#225;n pedig elkezdte k&#233;rd&#233;s&#233;t, mik&#246;zben jobb kez&#233;vel J&#233;zusra mutatott fenyeget&#337;n, majd el&#337;sz&#246;r er&#337;tlen&#252;l, s v&#233;g&#252;l saj&#225;t d&#252;he &#225;ltal felkorb&#225;csolt el&#233;gedetlens&#233;ggel folytatta:

-&#9;Mi&#233;rt vannak a rosszindulat&#250; bels&#337; sz&#225;nd&#233;kok is ritmusban az Isteni akarattal? Milyen Isten az, aki r&#225;b&#243;lint hal&#225;los betegs&#233;gben szenved&#337; gyerekekre, &#233;hez&#337;kre, h&#225;bor&#250;k &#225;ltal s&#250;lytott szerencs&#233;tlenekre, t&#225;rsadalmi igazs&#225;gtalans&#225;gokra, beteges hajlam&#250; sz&#246;rnyetegekre!!!!! Ki v&#233;di meg &#337;ket? Milyen k&#246;z&#246;s ritmus, &#233;s egy&#252;ttm&#369;k&#246;d&#233;s az ilyen? Ebben kellene r&#233;szt vennem, &#233;s hinnem? Ki v&#233;di majd meg &#337;ket? Ennek a ritmus&#225;ra kellene magasztos &#246;r&#246;mt&#225;ncot lejtenem J&#233;zus? Ezt v&#225;rod t&#337;lem? Hogy folytathatn&#225;m a munk&#225;m j&#243;l, ha a sz&#246;rny&#369;s&#233;geket is v&#233;gig kell n&#233;znem tehetetlen&#252;l.

J&#233;zus megv&#225;rta, am&#237;g S&#225;t&#225;n d&#252;h&#233;nek visszhangja elhal az &#252;res sztyeppe felett, majd meg&#233;rt&#337;en, vel&#337;sen, s l&#233;nyegre t&#246;r&#337; tisztas&#225;ggal besz&#233;lni kezdett:

-&#9;S&#225;t&#225;n, te azt k&#233;rdezed, ki v&#233;di meg &#337;ket, &#233;s mi&#233;rt mond az Ige &#8222;igent&#8221; a borzalomra. Az Ige nem erk&#246;lcsi b&#237;r&#243;, aki szelekt&#225;l a v&#225;gyak k&#246;z&#246;tt, hanem egy t&#246;rv&#233;nyszer&#369;s&#233;g, amely fenntartja a val&#243;s&#225;g sz&#246;vet&#233;t. 

A vil&#225;got a m&#233;r&#233;sek milli&#225;rdjai tartj&#225;k stabilan. Amit te rossznak vagy trag&#233;di&#225;nak h&#237;vsz, az sokszor nem az Isteni Akarat d&#246;nt&#233;se, hanem a Kollekt&#237;v Megfigyel&#233;s tehetetlens&#233;ge. Ha egy eg&#233;sz emberis&#233;g &#233;vezredeken &#225;t a f&#233;lelem, a k&#252;l&#246;n&#225;ll&#225;s &#233;s a hi&#225;ny rezg&#233;s&#233;vel m&#233;ri le a vil&#225;got, akkor a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; k&#233;nytelen ebbe a s&#369;r&#369;, s&#246;t&#233;t val&#243;s&#225;gba &#246;sszeomlani. A rendszer nem b&#252;ntet, hanem visszat&#252;kr&#246;z. Ha a kollekt&#237;v sz&#369;r&#337;k szennyezettek, a k&#233;p, ami rajtuk kereszt&#252;l a mat&#233;ria szintj&#233;n r&#246;gz&#252;l, torz lesz.

&#8211; Nem b&#252;ntet??? Csak visszat&#252;kr&#246;z?? Akkor tal&#225;n a rendszerrel van a baj!!! &#8211; h&#246;rd&#252;lt fel S&#225;t&#225;n.

&#8211; A szabad akarat csak akkor val&#243;di, ha a k&#246;vetkezm&#233;nyei is val&#243;diak. Ha Isten minden rossz sz&#225;nd&#233;k el&#337;tt kikapcsoln&#225; a kvantummez&#337;t, akkor az ember nem teremt&#337; lenne, hanem egy biztons&#225;gos kalitk&#225;ba z&#225;rt h&#225;zi&#225;llat. A szeretet legnagyobb &#225;ldozata a nem beavatkoz&#225;s. Isten annyira tiszteli az ember teremt&#337; erej&#233;t, hogy hagyja &#337;t ak&#225;r a poklot is megalkotni, b&#237;zva abban, hogy a l&#233;lek a saj&#225;t f&#225;jdalm&#225;nak amplit&#250;d&#243;j&#225;n kereszt&#252;l &#233;bred r&#225;: a ritmus elcs&#250;szott.
A szenved&#337; gyermek, az &#233;hez&#337;, a h&#225;bor&#250; &#225;ldozata... &#337;k a Mindens&#233;g szuper-poz&#237;ci&#243;j&#225;nak azon pontjai, ahol az Egys&#233;g v&#225;llalja a legnagyobb s&#246;t&#233;ts&#233;get, hogy a t&#246;bbiek megfigyel&#233;se megv&#225;ltozzon. &#336;k a rendszer &#233;breszt&#337;i. Amikor egy trag&#233;dia l&#225;tt&#225;n megszakad a sz&#237;ved, S&#225;t&#225;n, abban a pillanatban a te sz&#369;r&#337;d kit&#225;gul. A r&#233;szv&#233;t nem m&#225;s, mint egy hirtelen kvantum-&#246;sszefon&#243;d&#225;s a m&#225;sikkal. A rossz nem az&#233;rt van, hogy Isten gy&#246;ny&#246;rk&#246;dj&#246;n benne, hanem az&#233;rt, hogy a kollekt&#237;v megfigyel&#337;, az emberis&#233;g, v&#233;gre ne a haragot &#233;s a hi&#225;nyt v&#225;lassza ki a v&#233;gtelenb&#337;l, hanem az egy&#252;tt&#233;rz&#233;st.

Az Ige nem a hal&#225;lra mond igent, hanem az &#233;bred&#233;sre, ami a hal&#225;l &#225;rny&#233;k&#225;ban sz&#252;letik. A s&#246;t&#233;ts&#233;gnek az&#233;rt nagy az amplit&#250;d&#243;ja, mert az ego, vagyis te magad, olyan szil&#225;rdan kapaszkodsz bele, hogy nem hagyod a hull&#225;mot tov&#225;bb futni. De m&#233;g a legm&#233;lyebb k&#250;t alj&#225;n is ott a v&#237;z, ami a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; &#243;ce&#225;nj&#225;hoz tartozik. Isten nem a f&#225;jdalmat akarja, hanem azt a pillanatot, amikor a l&#233;lek fel&#252;lemelkedik a statisztik&#225;n, &#233;s azt mondja: &#8222;Ennek ellen&#233;re is szeretek.&#8221; Ez a val&#243;di kvantumugr&#225;s, S&#225;t&#225;n. Ez az a f&#233;ny, ami &#225;t&#237;rja a m&#250;lt &#246;sszes karmikus k&#243;dj&#225;t.

-&#9;Sz&#243;val&#8230; akkor nem minden az &#233;n felel&#337;ss&#233;gem? -k&#233;rdezte S&#225;t&#225;n d&#252;h&#233;t&#337;l megenyh&#252;lten, &#233;s kiss&#233; bizonytalanul.

-&#9;Nem. Azt hitted igaz? A szabad akarat f&#252;ggetlen. Befoly&#225;ssal lehet r&#225; az Isteni Akarat, vagyis a kollekt&#237;v h&#225;l&#243;zat is, &#233;s az Ego is. Az egy&#233;n d&#246;nt. Te megteszed, ami lehet, a t&#246;bbit r&#225;b&#237;zod az Univerzumra. Csak ne vidd t&#250;lz&#225;sba a dolgokat&#8230;

S&#225;t&#225;n nem sz&#243;lt, csak b&#243;logatott egykedv&#369;en. J&#233;zus le&#252;lt S&#225;t&#225;n mell&#233; a f&#246;ldre, s bar&#225;tian oldalba b&#246;kte.

-&#9;Elmes&#233;ljek neked egy t&#246;rt&#233;netet?

-&#9;Ha j&#243;nak l&#225;tod&#8230;- s megr&#225;nd&#237;totta v&#225;ll&#225;t mintha m&#225;r &#250;gyis minden mindegy lenne.

-&#9;Ez az egyik kedvencem. Egy &#337;si, 2000 &#233;ves k&#237;nai tanmese:

Volt egyszer egy k&#237;nai f&#246;ldm&#369;ves, akinek egyszer elt&#369;nt a lova. Megsz&#246;k&#246;tt.
Aznap este &#225;tmentek hozz&#225; a szomsz&#233;djai a h&#237;rt halv&#225;n &#233;s azt mondt&#225;k: 
Ez nagyon szomor&#250; szerencs&#233;tlens&#233;g...
A f&#246;ldm&#369;ves csak annyit mondott: tal&#225;n...
M&#225;snap a l&#243; visszaj&#246;tt &#233;s hozott mag&#225;val m&#233;g m&#225;sik h&#233;t vadlovat.
A h&#237;rt hallva a szomsz&#233;dok &#250;jra &#225;tmentek hozz&#225; &#233;s azt mondt&#225;k: Ez milyen nagyszer&#369;, &#233;s hatalmas szerencse nem igaz?
A f&#246;ldm&#369;ves ism&#233;t azt mondta: tal&#225;n...
M&#225;snap a f&#246;ldm&#369;ves fia fel&#252;lt az egyik vadl&#243;ra, hogy megszel&#237;d&#237;tse az egyik vadlovat, de leesett r&#243;la &#233;s elt&#246;r&#246;tt a l&#225;ba. 
Erre a szomsz&#233;dok &#250;jb&#243;l &#225;tmentek hozz&#225; &#233;s azt mondt&#225;k: 
mennyire szomor&#250; balszerencse ez...
A f&#246;ldm&#369;ves ism&#233;t azt mondta: tal&#225;n.
M&#225;snap j&#246;tt egy soroz&#243; tisztvisel&#337;, hogy elvigye a f&#246;ldm&#369;ves fi&#225;t a hadseregbe harcolni egy h&#225;bor&#250;ba, de a t&#246;r&#246;tt l&#225;ba miatt nem vitt&#233;k el. Erre a szomsz&#233;dok a h&#237;rt hallva azt mondt&#225;k &#243; ez milyen szerencse....

Ezt a t&#246;rt&#233;netet b&#225;rmeddig lehetne mes&#233;lni... a vil&#225;g, az univerzum esem&#233;nyei &#246;sszetett integr&#225;lt folyamatok, &#233;s val&#243;j&#225;ban nem lehet megmondani, hogy az, ami t&#246;rt&#233;nik, val&#243;j&#225;ban j&#243;-e, vagy rossz-e, mert sosem tudhatjuk milyen k&#246;vetkezm&#233;nyei vannak a balszerencs&#233;nek &#233;s milyen k&#246;vetkezm&#233;nyei a j&#243;szerencs&#233;nek.

S&#225;t&#225;n miut&#225;n v&#233;gig hallgatta a t&#246;rt&#233;netet felpattant. T&#225;gra ny&#237;lt szemmel maga el&#233; b&#225;mult, mintha csak szellemet l&#225;tna. Erre J&#233;zus is fel&#225;llt, k&#246;zelebb ment hozz&#225;, de ekkor S&#225;t&#225;n b&#337;r&#233;n hirtelen reped&#233;sek keletkeztek, melyekb&#337;l f&#233;ny kezdett ki&#225;radni, s a megk&#233;rges&#252;lt b&#337;re lassan lefoszlott r&#243;la. Ekkor egy hatalmas tompa kondul&#225;s hallatszott, az Univerzum minden ir&#225;ny&#225;b&#243;l, melynek rezg&#233;s&#233;t minden &#233;l&#337;, s &#233;lettelen meg&#233;rezte az Univerzum legt&#225;volabbi szeglet&#233;ben is. S&#225;t&#225;n egy &#225;llapotv&#225;ltoz&#225;son, f&#225;zis&#225;talakul&#225;son ment kereszt&#252;l: tudata a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243;ba ker&#252;lt. J&#233;zus megd&#246;bbenten l&#225;tta, hogy siker&#252;lt&#8230;S&#225;t&#225;n megvil&#225;gosodott&#8230; &#214;r&#246;mmel n&#233;zte ahogy eggy&#233; v&#225;lik a kozmosz var&#225;zslat&#225;val, &#233;s megadja mag&#225;t a bizalom &#243;ce&#225;nj&#225;nak sodr&#243; hull&#225;mainak.

S&#225;t&#225;n &#250;gy &#233;rezte mintha sz&#233;toszt&#243;dna, v&#233;gell&#225;thatatlan mennyis&#233;gben, m&#233;gis minden egyes r&#233;sze k&#246;z&#246;tt r&#233;seket tapasztalt, melyek k&#246;zt valami melenget&#337; bizserg&#233;st, &#225;raml&#225;st &#233;s &#246;sszhangot &#233;szlelt. &#218;gy &#233;rezte egy&#252;tt l&#233;legzik mindegyikkel. Minden egyes r&#233;szben, r&#233;szecsk&#233;ben ott volt, nem kellett &#246;nmag&#225;t keresnie, sem &#246;nmag&#225;t figyelnie. Nem &#233;rezte hi&#225;nyait, v&#225;gyait, nem akarta meghat&#225;rozni ki &#337;, &#233;s nem akarta &#246;sszem&#233;rni t&#246;bb&#233; &#233;rt&#233;k&#233;t senkivel, mert ez valami sokkal szebb &#233;s magasabb rend&#369; volt mindenn&#233;l. Isten &#246;lelte mag&#225;hoz, &#250;gy, hogy ott lehetett, ahol, ahogy &#233;s amikor csak akart. Minden r&#233;szecske eszk&#246;ze volt, &#233;s &#337; maga is eszk&#246;ze volt a r&#233;szecsk&#233;knek. Hatalma volt &#233;s hatalmat adott. Nem kellett k&#252;zdenie t&#246;bb&#233;. Nem volt semmije, m&#233;gis mindene megvolt. &#218;gy &#233;rezte hazatal&#225;lt.

Ebben a f&#246;ld&#246;nt&#250;li, p&#225;ratlan &#225;llapotban vibr&#225;lt, s borzongott a gy&#246;ny&#246;r&#369;s&#233;gt&#337;l, amikor esz&#233;be jutottak az emberek.

 R&#225;&#233;bredt, hogy az Egys&#233;gben maradni &#8222;&#246;nz&#233;s&#8221; lenne. Ahhoz, hogy az Univerzum &#8222;zen&#233;je&#8221; a szuperpoz&#237;ci&#243; &#246;sszes lehet&#337;s&#233;ge kiteljesedjen, kell egy &#233;ber Ego, aki seg&#237;t az embereknek a saj&#225;t hamis amplit&#250;d&#243;ikat koherenss&#233; tenni. &#218;gy gondolta b&#225;rmennyire t&#246;k&#233;letes is ez az &#225;llapot, vissza kell t&#233;rnie &#246;nmaga tiszt&#225;bb verzi&#243;jak&#233;nt, hogy az emberek kataliz&#225;tora legyen, s hogy a val&#243;sz&#237;n&#369;s&#233;gi amplit&#250;d&#243;k &#250;jra szabadd&#225; v&#225;lhassanak &#233;s az Ige ritmus&#225;ra &#225;trendez&#337;dhessenek. 

Miel&#337;tt, azonban visszat&#233;rt volna meg&#250;jult &#246;nmag&#225;hoz, ha m&#225;r itt volt, csak annyit akart, hogy a lehet&#337;s&#233;gek tenger&#233;b&#337;l egy men&#337; p&#243;l&#243;ban t&#233;rhessen vissza, az al&#225;bbi felirattal: 

&#8222;A szabad akaratod, hogy bele&#225;llsz-e a ritmusba.
De a szabads&#225;g a ritmusban van,
nem a ritmuson k&#237;v&#252;l.&#8221; 

A r&#233;szecsk&#233;k &#246;sszes &#225;llapota elmosolyogta mag&#225;t, s &#237;gy t&#233;rt vissza Lucifer, a f&#233;nyhoz&#243; B&#243;dhiszattva entit&#225;sk&#233;nt a f&#246;ldre, elhalasztva megvil&#225;gosod&#225;s&#225;t, hogy minden emberi l&#233;ny tan&#237;t&#243;mestere, s felemel&#337;je legyen az &#337; szeretett Isteni forr&#225;s&#225;ba, Isten akarata &#225;ltal.

It suggests that when we face life&#8217;s disappointments and losses, sorrow is not merely an intruder, but a brutal yet necessary guardian. It warns that "premature hope" can be a dangerous delusion, and that true healing requires us to face our unvarnished selves in the dark, achieving a painful but honest clarity before we step back into the light.</pre></div><h3><strong>The Special Visitor</strong></h3><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">When Sorrow comes to visit,
he arrives unannounced, uninvited.
He leans long on the doorbell
as if sounding an alarm,
until the personal, 
intimate sanctuary
of your abode with reluctance,
finally lets him in.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">If allowed entry, he wanders through

lack the strength of will;
so, he asks you,
interrogates you,
inquires about your faith,
pries into your family and friends,
unearths your hobbies

Then, he draws the curtains,
turns the key in the lock,
steals your time
and you don't understand 
what he wants,
why he isolates you from everyone,
and obscures your every prospect.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">Your own politeness stifles you,

A wandering, pale ghost,

the mile-high boots of spurred-on Revenge,

tramples the aspects of my life
into the friable dust of oblivion.</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">...then, onto the shelf
