The next day, i.e. now, at the moment of its creation and in the process of your remembering – this parallel reality merges with your main time path, and you become a little stronger. Because the imprint of your personality will also merge with you, adding new experiences and new perceptions.

About Messianism

I consider messianism to be a form of mental illness, quite possibly manifested due to gross external influence, when the tension was so strong that human nature could not withstand excessive pressure and was damaged, because it was not designed to withstand this vice. However, of course, I could be wrong about this, because I am far from both religion and medicine. By my nature, I categorically distance myself from such influence on myself and do not transmit it to others. I believe that a person always has a choice and the path he chooses will likely lead to a result if followed completely.

Messiah complex (second link in Russian and not available)

“The Messiah complex (Christ complex or Savior complex) is a state of mind in which a person believes that he is destined to become a savior today or in the near future. This term can also refer to a state of mind in which a person believes that he has a responsibility to save or help others. <…>

The term Messiah complex is no covered in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) because it is not a clinical term and is not a diagnosable disorder. However, the symptoms as a purported disorder are very similar to those found in people who suffer from delusions of grandeur or have a grandiose view of themselves that tends toward delusion. One report specifically defines this as a category of religious delusion that refers to strongly fixed beliefs that cause distress or disability. This is a type of religious error that is classified as grandiose, while the other two categories are persecution and belittlement. According to philosopher Antony Flew, an example of such a fallacy was the case of Paul (the Apostle), who claimed that God spoke to him, telling him that he would serve as a guide for people to change them. Kent and Flew's thesis stated that his experiences caused auditory and visual hallucinations.”

This is probably a very pleasant disease. A sort of Superiority complex

Here is an example of one of the most prominent cases (the first link in Russian):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabbatai_Zevi

https://www.jhi.pl/en/articles/the-false-messiah-who-was-sabbatai-zevi,4472

“Sabbatai Zevi was born on August 1, 1626 in Izmir. He received an excellent religious education and from the age of 16 began to lead an ascetic lifestyle and immersed himself in the study of Kabbalah. <…>

In 1648, Sabbatai declared himself the messiah among his supporters.

He began to receive mystical insights, fall into depression, or vice versa into ecstasy, and publicly violate religious prohibitions. This caused the natural anger of the rabbis of Izmir. <…>

In 1658, the Jewish preacher Abraham Yachini gave Shabbatai an ancient manuscript that he allegedly found. It contained a prophecy directly pointing to Shabbatai and declaring him the messiah. The manuscript stunned and inspired Shabbatai. Well, what he already knew was confirmed.

In 1665, Shabbatai arrived in the city of Gaza and met Nathan, a young rabbi who was then preaching in that city. Nathan believed in Shabtai's messianism and became an ideologist and preacher of Sabbateanism. One might say – an apostle. Nathan sent a message to all Jewish communities and invited them to stand under the banner of the Messiah.

On May 31, 1665, Shabbatai Zevi publicly declared himself the messiah.

Shabbatai’s ostentatious asceticism and the delight of his followers, similar to the atmosphere of a modern rock concert. Shabbatai easily distributed positions and titles in the name of the King of the Jews. He modestly signed his messages and appointments: ‘I am the Lord your God Sabbatai-Zevi’.

In September 1666, Zevi was presented to the Sultan and was asked to undergo a mortal test – shooting with arrows, to prove his divine origin. Or convert to Islam. Zevi chose the second.

And this decision of his was like an avalanche – it led the Jewish communities to great disappointment and collapse of hopes.

A small part of Shabbatai’s followers also converted to Islam and formed the Dönme community, which still exists in Turkey.

He died in 1676, at the age of 50.

The true God, according to the Sabbatians, can only be revealed through the complete destruction of religious and social structures created by the ‘false god’. And at the same time, our entire familiar world order. After all, everything that is sacred and dear to us by Sabbatian standards is harmful, it is an anchor that does not allow the “true God” to penetrate the world.”

“Sabbatai Zevi, the long-dead false messiah, once appeared to the Baal Shem and begged him to remove his sins. For it is well known that redemption is accomplished through the connection of man with man, mind with mind, soul with soul. Therefore, the Baal Shem began to connect his being with the alien's being, but he did it slowly and carefully, fearing that he might harm him. One day, when the Baal Shem was sleeping, Sabbatai Zevi appeared to him again and began to seduce him, saying that the Baal Shem needed to become what he was. Therefore, the Baal Shem kicked him out, doing it with the same determination with which he descended into the very depths of hell.

From then, when the Baal Shem spoke about Sabbatai Zevi, he always repeated: ‘The spark of God was in him, but Satan caught him in the trap of pride.’”

Martin Buber “Tales of the Hasidim”, 1997.

In my opinion, the world is now somehow collapsing too quickly, and one even involuntarily wants to “slow down” these possibly objective processes of degradation.

About numbers

“Are some numbers more meaningful than others? Of course! If ordinary people, far from science or mysticism, have their favorite and least favorite numbers, what can we say about mathematicians and physicists? Numbers are as important a component of culture as words. There is no person to whom the numbers 7, 13 or 666 do not mean anything. But there are numbers that influence our lives, even if we do not know about them.”

Timothy Hugh, Connecticut.

“If knowledge cannot be expressed numerically, then it is superficial and insufficient.”

Lord Kelvin (William Thompson), English physicist, 1824–1907.

About the signs

“By appearing openly to those who seek Him with all their heart and hiding from those who flee from Him with all their heart, God regulates human knowledge of Himself. He gives signs visible to those who seek Him and invisible to those who are indifferent to Him. He gives enough light to those who want to see, and He gives enough darkness to those who do not want to see.”

Blaise Pascal, french mathematician.

Ivanov E. M. “Ontology of the Subjective” (link in Russian)

“On the other hand, if consciousness is a time flow, then how is it able to realize this? How can a flow know that it is a flow? Being inside the movement, being captured by it, it is impossible to feel this movement (just as, for example, sailors on the open sea, far from the shore, do not perceive the movement of their ship). In order to perceive one’s own movement in time, it is necessary to have a ‘reference point’ that is motionless in time, i.e. have something timeless. Consequently, since consciousness is capable of perceiving itself as a time flow, it must contain something outside the flow of time, something ‘supra-temporal’. (I. Kant also drew attention to this circumstance).

If we were always only in the present, we would know only the present and would not be able to grasp the movement of our own soul in time – after all, the latter presupposes the possibility of somehow correlating events separated in time, comparing them directly with each other. In general, everything temporary is possible only against the background of the supertemporal, if only simply because any multiplicity in general (and the multiplicity of moments in time in particular) is possible only against the background of unity, which overcomes this multiplicity and allows one to correlate many things, thereby affirming the fact of its existence.

Let us also note that if we existed only in the present, it would be impossible to explain how we even have the idea of a past and a future . The past and future would be given to us only in the mode of the present, but not in the mode of the past and future. But without experience in which the past and the future were directly given to us, we could not form the idea of the past and the future. After all, it is not possible to form the idea of the past or the future, using only those elements of the inner world that belong exclusively to the present. Thus, the very possibility of conceiving the past and the future indicates the presence in our subjective sphere of a certain supertemporal entity. The role of such a supertemporal entity, against the background of which the perception of the temporal dynamics of sensory ‘states of consciousness’ is possible, is precisely what sense can claim.

From a theoretical point of view, the supertemporality of meaning follows from the integrity of the ‘semantic field’ described above, its indecomposability into separate, unrelated semantic units. Since any meaning exists only in the context of the entire holistic system of meanings, we can only talk about the current experience of meaning conditionally. In each current state of consciousness, the entire totality of individual meanings is presented in the form of a semantic ‘horizon’, a universal context of what is actually experienced, albeit in a certain ‘semantic perspective’ inherent in a particular moment in time. Meanings do not replace each other, arising and being destroyed, but only their readiness for actualization changes – in relation to the current state of subjective sensuality.

Let us note that the idea of the supertemporal nature of a certain ‘deep’ component of the human soul is widely represented in various philosophical teachings of the past. Thus, for Plotinus, the most fundamental components of the soul ‘reside in Eternity’ and are identical to the world Mind and the One. I. Kant also assumed the presence of both temporary and timeless components of mental life. Actually, according to Kant, the ‘subject’, as a “Thing-in-itself”, is located outside the world of phenomena, to which only ‘temporality’ is applicable, as an a priori form of contemplation. According to Bergson, human memory is direct access (through time) to the past , and not the preservation of traces of the past in the present. The idea of the timelessness of the ‘I’ is also widely represented in Russian philosophy of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. (L.M. Lopatin, N.O. Lossky, L.P. Karsavin, E.N. Trubetskoy, S.L. Frank, etc.). Moreover, meaning was often referred to as the non-local content of the soul in time. Here it will be enough to quote E. N. Trubetskoy, who essentially expresses the general position of the named Russian philosophers.”

How do you make a story happen?

History can happen if there is an observer “here and now”. Any fantasy fictional story needs a space where it can realize itself in the moments of its combustion, leaving a cultural mark on a person’s personality.

The larger the viewer’s space, his personal “cinema”, the more majestic the story can happen, and ideally, the story can take on the “size of infinity” if the viewer has the technical ability to perceive such a grandiose size.

The more integral the subject’s workspace is the more coherent, consistent and high quality the unfolding story will be.

I envy the reader a little (in a good way) because he is now learning this story…
