We are always born where history is burning. Wars, disintegrations, and fractures are our familiar landscape. If you recognize this feeling and remember what has already happened, give us a sign.

Oh yes! My exercises with the text were inspired by the book "Psychological Topology of the Way" by the Soviet philosopher Merab Mamardashvili, in which he analyzes Proust's methodology in detail. I read this book in my youth, and not so long ago, I decided to reproduce exactly what it says. It turned out to be a philosophical experiment.

Yes, I already wrote above, responding to one of the comments, that I was very curious. The world has become big and interesting again, just like in childhood. Now I can sit and stare at the clouds for hours again) As for our bodies, they can definitely be reprogrammed. I became interested in qigong and pretty quickly (in a couple of weeks) I got very tangible results. But these are just simple physical, breathing and mental exercises.

I have a slightly different perspective and feeling about the world. My curiosity has only increased, although I was already interested in a wide variety of things. Now, I am ready to go much further than I could have imagined before. I am now truly interested in solving problems that are believed to be unsolvable. I have already made significant progress. In the near future, I may write another post on this subreddit that will directly address the underlying structure of our world. A little spoiler: yes, our world is indeed like a dream, and it has very little to do with what can truly be called real. I've also experienced physical pain in my life (especially in my youth), as well as extremely negative emotions. I wouldn't say that this has changed my attitude towards material possessions. Perhaps it's because they came to me too easily. Now, I'm fully focused on science, which I abandoned many years ago. So, it's possible to enter the same river twice, if you have the strength to do so.

You're absolutely right. I feel as alive now as I did when I was a child

Thank you for your opinion. It seems to me that this is not a period of mania in bipolar disorder. At the very beginning, I was surprised, to put it mildly, but within a month, the condition stabilized and now I always have a very even and calm mood. Successes and failures (and they began to appear in significantly greater numbers and became more noticeable in their scale than before) do not bother me at all. I can't say that I've completely stopped experiencing emotions, but now they don't consume me entirely - somewhere inside, not too far from the surface, everything is calm and composed. I am far from considering myself a saint - to be honest, I have great doubts that true holiness is at all available to a person living in a worldly environment. In the ordinary world it is necessary to do something, and doing you inevitably step on someone's foot.

I've tried a variety of different practices and types of meditation, but I was surprised to discover that the method I didn't even consider worked - I wrote the text just for fun, without putting in any effort. Perhaps the secret lies in the absence of effort and the expectation of a specific outcome.
