this knowledge about the possibilities of independent spiritual development of each
individual. Even those people who look for the Knowledge begin their search guided by
the material, conventional worldview, and, naturally, they find people with the same
outlook. So when it comes to spiritual cognition, they have it like in the biblical saying:
“If the blind lead the blind both shall fall into the pit.”
Rigden: Absolutely. As a rule, such people partly look for teachers to shift
responsibility for their spiritual development to them, instead of developing
independently. But if you look at the society as a whole, then in most cases, the socalled
“teachers” practically do not differ from their "students" in the spiritual
development. Imitators (from the human mind), who proclaim themselves guides
between people and God, are plenty in the world today, and not only in different
religions and sects but simply in the society as well. They all want to teach someone
instead of transforming themselves spiritually. With such a grandiose army of “teachers”
of every stripe, those people who have truly perceived the Truth are a mere handful!
Why is there such a paradox? Because at every turn you see spiritual worldview being
substituted with the material one; there is politics and lust for power and money. It is an
open secret that today church positions in many religions are bought like seeds at the
market. For many it is just a game of politics, an opportunity to dominate their own
kind. But essentially, everyone remains ordinary people while holding different, even
quite high, ranks.
Anastasia: Indeed. They artificially create the illusion of being holy for people. Once in
the times of the Soviet Union, when I was young, I thought so of the Soviet government.
For me, they were almost demigods who existed somewhere far away from us (and not
in our lives), sitting at their meetings, all of them so right, not eating, drinking and not
even going to the bathroom. And when you had debunked this myth for me by showing
that they were the same people just like everybody else, I was shocked by this at first,
but then I got a real understanding of the situation. I started unwinding the chain: for
what reason this myth was created and why I interpreted it in such a way. And I
discovered many interesting facts for myself along the way. For example, how
favourable images of politicians and priests and their “public image and holiness”
(which the glorified candidate does not have at all) are created in the world in general;
how “public opinion” towards these people is formed artificially. How people are
massively won over to a particular worldview that is advantageous to the people in
