Sometimes it is difficult to choose. Sometimes there is fog, a snowstorm and no visibility. Then you try to feel your way with your hands, to make a single step without knowing if it is right. Sometimes all you have to do is wait for the clouds to disperse. In my mountain walking I've had to hide under the rocks on the ridge to escape from lightning. After an hour the sky magically clears. Blueness and little fluffy clouds as if there never had been a storm. And then you tell yourself: I'm glad I didn't flee, didn't descend. Man is neither a tree nor a rock. But sometimes he needs to be stronger than either.
Fairy tales are not textbooks. They don't deal with facts or logic, but speak the language of that complex and entangled organisation, for which we have no knowledge on the level of facts and logic. Fairy tales are the most important textbooks. The recent wave of returning to the mythical shows the difficulties people nowadays have in creating an inner model of information, which can respond to the quickly changing outer environment, to adjust to it. People turn to the world of fairy tales, which has been a constant source of help from their childhood and the childhood of humanity.
The same techniques which used to be employed by magicians to exorcise evil spirits and recover the individual's inner strength are now used to make us buy margarine, new car or to choose a government. First, attention is diverted and the inner structure of information becomes accessible. Two: connections and inner states are changed, attacked and ready-made beliefs are implanted, three: values are destroyed, so that the victim is completely mouldable. Four: welcome back home - in the world of puppets, take a deep breath and drink up your coke.
Any attempt to go against our values always ends in their victory and sometimes it is expressed in illness, frustration, psychological disturbances, unexplainable dissatisfaction with ourselves, painful inner struggles. Pills won't help. The harmony in the body cannot be restored before the harmony in the values is recovered. Something, which is not important for us, is not us, cannot fulfil our life and make us happy.
In the organisation of our inner space there is no place for information, which is completely disconnected from the already-existing information. In our inner cosmos there are (sometimes very powerful) forces of attraction and repellence, but there is no vacuum where these forces are not felt at all. The new perception is either attracted by an already existing nucleus, or turns into a nucleus and starts attracting new perceptions. This is how stars - and our emotions- are born.
