man turns from an active individual into a passive person, becoming disoriented. One
seems to be losing some kind of a foundation, a base under oneself. Negative images,
thoughts, and far-fetched problems suddenly surface and start turning in one’s
consciousness, drawing and focusing one’s attention on them… When this happens, a
person experiences a state of dissatisfaction and emotional stress, which manifests itself
mainly in standard patterns. It gets bad and uncomfortable inside, as if something gets
compressed inside one’s chest. It is hard to focus on any work because extraneous
thoughts constantly distract one’s attention, making one think of one and the same sore

negative thoughts, associations, and emotions arises. In general, attention gets focused
on the problem, which is being intensified by the Animal nature. Man’s consciousness
narrows down to the point of this problem. He starts seeing only this problem and

thoughts. But consciousness as if on purpose clings and focuses his attention on those
fragments of programs which touch his sore problem. There is another example: a
person in this state begins a discussion with somebody on abstract subjects, but
eventually he or she doesn’t even notice that consciousness unwittingly takes the
conversation into the channel of the same far-fetched problems… If a person

and such a depressed state of consciousness is exactly the beginning of an attack of the
Animal nature.

world; his consciousness becomes narrower. Man becomes obsessed with a certain
problem. Figuratively speaking, before he would see a wide range of colours, and during
an attack of the Animal nature he is focused only on the black colour, while other
colours cease to exist for him; he does not seem to notice them.
What is the purpose of this violent attack of the Animal nature? It aims at blocking the
Personality’s connection with the Soul, due to which there is a kind of pressure from the
outside inwards. During such an attack, figuratively speaking, the signal from the Soul
