Force no longer works. Not at all. Not through thoughts, not through positive thinking, hopes, or human dreams. All of that has become old clutter — things that are no longer of any use. Only feeling remains. Full, deep, vast, all-embracing feelings — flowing and alive. About yourself. About everything that you are. Opening. Trust. Surrender. And above all — gratitude. Gratitude for yourself — for the one who allowed it all to be lived. For everything you have allowed yourself to experience, for every moment, regardless of what you believe you gained from it. And even this is beyond words. You see, words become unnecessary where you are now. You begin to approach beauty… A whisper of the soul to the human.

My feelings right now… I am holding on — and at the same time trying not to. A space between holding and allowing. A struggle? Perhaps. But this time I cannot win anything at all. It simply isn’t possible. All I can do is observe my human — watch how it unfolds within me — and hope that at some point the human will begin to observe as well. And then all of this will simply stop on its own, having lost its need to exist.

Yes, it is strange to see the human from the outside. My own human facet. This is not about anyone else. How fragile it is, and at the same time wildly powerful in its forgetting and limitation. Ready, in pain and suffering, to destroy itself — to bring the entire universe to its knees in the desire to obtain something the mind believes is necessary. But is it truly needed? With superhuman grip it holds on, just to keep from allowing. So strange. If it hadn’t already become so tiresome it almost makes me sick, it might even be funny.

Today, at last, the cold has retreated, and I stepped outside. I have always loved winter and truly enjoyed it. But this year, it felt as though we had suddenly become strangers. All my familiar paths to the river had been covered over, and now I had to wade through snow that, in places, reached my knees. Much like my life right now. For a while, it has been a time of non-involvement, of simply observing. The paths I once walked have seemed buried and difficult to move through. And yet, there is not a trace of regret in me. It simply had to happen this way. I had to stop and remain exactly where I was — until the storms settled, everything cleared, the sun appeared, and I could see what is here now. More and more, I have come to appreciate this kind of pause — the stretch of time given to quiet down, to wait. To wait for what? First and foremost — for myself. Only now do I truly see how often I was running ahead of myself before.

I made my way down to the river. Such stillness. Not a breath of wind. Occasional snowflakes, as if appearing from nowhere, fall slowly and almost miraculously from the clear and sunlit sky. This moment is magical. Yet within the silence, new sounds begin to enter — and now I hear them not as a promise, but as a confirmation: movement has begun. The ice in the river cracks — a sound impossible to mistake for anything else. With it comes a feeling that echoes deep within me, and suddenly there is warmth. And in that warmth, I hear my sleeping heart beat faster — beneath the splitting ice, water rushes forward toward spring.

This winter felt long and exhausting, with its piercing cold and all that was happening within me. And yet beneath the thick white blanket of snow, the earth is already awakening — because there is now enough light in the world. Everything is shifting, stirring. In the seeds resting in the soil, and within me. It has already begun. Soon… just a little longer… The path toward warmth within myself.

Look at the things around you through my eyes — the eyes of the soul. Everything around you is the imagination of the soul — vibrating energy that has taken form. Observe the beauty of creation that you yourself are. Everything around you right now — the house you live in, the animals beside you, the nature you perceive with your eyes, wherever you may be. Slowly, you will begin to understand how everything arises. It comes into being in the very moment you are present. Right where you are now, you can witness your ability to allow — your willingness to let your own energy overflow into your life as abundance.

Feel your true passions within you. Remember what it feels like when they are filled with light. Do not place them in your thoughts. There is almost no light in the mind. Thoughts carry no energy until you place it there. The moment you begin to play with light — infusing it with your feeling — true creation begins. Light must flow through you without force and without agenda. The instant you assign it a task, in that same moment, the light will assign one to you. An everyday example, as old as the world itself: if you ask the light to change the world, the world will ask you to change.

And remember gratitude… A whisper of the soul to the human.

I was far away again — so far it felt as if my heart might stop beating, as if life itself would cease to move through me. That far. Perhaps I still am. There is no strength in me. No desire. No passion. No movement. Only the damn mind thinking and thinking, driving me further into a barren inner wasteland. Everything feels compressed into the same flat tone — black and white. Maybe gray. I don’t know. I don’t care.

And then, suddenly, indescribably beautiful moments open — moments in which I feel so tender, so warm, so deeply with myself. In those moments I want to cry in gratitude, even though the tears have long since run dry. For a brief instant, I am here again. Home. I take a breath — and then, with wild speed, the gray essence of the old world pulls me back in. Without mercy. Back to the place where the mind thinks nonstop, where thoughts are taken as self and from them reality is shaped.

The strangest part is that I know this. I am aware of it. And yet right now it cannot be controlled — only observed. Only observed. What to do with it — that is mine to decide. Where to be. How to be. What to create. What to allow. And for how long. Not through control, but through trust. Completely differently. None of this can be “worked through.” None of it. Only to observe myself and see what still serves me there and what I am gaining from it. These programs reveal themselves so beautifully — if I allow myself to see them. The secondary gain.

Mostly, this story is about trusting myself. About smallness and victimhood. About taking responsibility. Do I still need that? Really? In theory, everything has long been clear. Now it feels like an exam. Funny. An exam I arranged for myself. So be it. I simply breathe through it. And those beautiful moments of light are like fine but steady threads leading home — reminding me that home is here. Right here. All it takes is choosing, and they open like a path, like breath, like endless space and light. Only trust. And that responsibility has expanded into something entirely different, opening within me a new way of seeing. So beautiful. So simple. I am already here.

The last day of the year. It has been a long time since I experienced a day this beautiful. The air is so clear. The sun has been shining all day, and the snow glitters white in its gentle light. All the winds have fallen silent. The tall trees around the house stand solemn and still, their branches extended like open arms, radiating absolute peace. A small tit lands on my windowsill and watches as I write. And I know — these final hours are a story only about me. The rest of the world has faded, withdrawn into unreachable distance. Only my reality remains now. And all of it belongs solely to this moment. I savor every passing minute. Today, solitude has been gifted to me — a solitude filled with myself and gratitude. I am grateful to the depths of my heart for every event and every experience I have lived through in these past years, and for the people who were present within them, no matter what was experienced. I have never before said goodbye so deeply and so fully to what has finished existing within me. I listen inward. I feel. Today I allow myself to do only what flows through me without force. And these are entirely different things from what I have been accustomed to doing on this day throughout my life.

At one moment, unexpectedly, one of my old notebooks fell from the table — a notebook I had not opened in a long time. It opened by itself. Inside were my reflections and insights about my book “The Silent One.” I had completely forgotten that I had once written those words. And now it resonates so deeply with everything I recognize as already having happened. Not through the mind anymore — but here, in the heart
and far beyond it.

“The Silent One” is an uncomfortable book. Stripped. Bare. Honest. It invites you to look where you have always avoided looking. Within yourself. At that point where you know you will see where you have been hiding — pretending to be anything at all just to avoid meeting your true self. Why? Because you will see that you have been playing. Forgetting. Becoming trapped in the narrow corridors created by your own mind. You may still try to play through the illusion that somehow you will get lucky and arrive directly in bliss. But you have no idea that along the way you will have to meet yourself in all the forms and roles from which your hair will stand on end. Hundreds of times you will turn away just to avoid seeing it. Hundreds of times you will pretend that none of it is there. Yet each time you will be peeled like an onion. And it will hurt. You will resist — and it will hurt more. You will resist even harder — and it will hurt even more. Until you surrender. The rose-colored glasses will shatter. Perhaps a shard will cut you — and it will not feel pleasant. Not pleasant at all. Every illusion you once followed, listened to, clung to — will dissolve. Everything will collapse. The ground will seem to slip from beneath your feet. And there will be no one to blame. You may want to fight. To continue resisting. To find a way around what stands before you — relentless, seemingly indifferent, uncompromising in its unconditional clarity, rejecting every attempt to pretend again, to play again, to put on yet another mask and slip past unnoticed. But what stands before you will polish you like a diamond. Until, in the middle of your path, you stand bare and clear — allowing, permeable. The real you. Transformed into the Silent One.

And suddenly you see that the one standing opposite you is yourself. Your being. Your energy. Your consciousness. Your true essence. It was playing back to you the roles you demanded within yourself. You were playing with your own reflection, and the main instrument was your mind and its projections — perfectly aligned with the limits of your awareness. Then confusion will arise. For a time there may be shame. A sense of smallness. A desire to cover yourself, to hide, to disappear. For a while. Perhaps. Until you gather the courage to stop turning away. And you begin to feel that your nakedness and this clarity are the long-awaited return. Home. Far more beautiful and fulfilling than all the role-playing and masquerades that had become so ingrained you no longer knew how not to perform. And each conscious moment in this nakedness begins to fill you with a different feeling — a free awareness. You see differently. You feel differently. Moment by moment. Each one expanding you, so you can allow more and more free awareness to move through you. For whom? For yourself. For your life. For your reality. And then the one who stood before you as teacher steps aside. You move on. Free. And you realize that there is nowhere to go. The teacher was always you. There is no other. You are whole. And that realization changes everything.

Solstice time... Christmas time... the end of the year — a natural moment to look back at all that has unfolded. It feels as though this year I have passed through a stage of ultimate crystallization — one that refined me, stripped things away, reshaped me. At times, it even brushed against the feeling of hell itself. In such moments, it can seem as though these changes and releases will never end — as if they are endless processes stretching into infinity.

Yesterday, a memory returned — the moment when all of this truly began, many years ago. Back then, only one question echoed within me: Who am I? Not superficially — but to the bone, to the very core of my being. The resonance it created seemed to vibrate through every layer of my existence. Unforgettable.And then it began… I could never have imagined that one small question would unleash an avalanche. It was as if the rope holding a raft to the shore had been cut, sending it into a river filled with relentless rapids. To keep it afloat on that journey, I had to keep throwing things overboard — the accumulated clutter and debris I had once believed I could carry with me. At times, I could barely hold onto the raft itself, as even the protective edges I leaned on were torn away by the rushing current. Confusion and incomprehension were my companions for a long stretch of that passage — until acceptance slowly began to take root, as I recognized the blessing carried by my river, rapids and all. Then I could sit down and grow still. I could see that the debris was long gone. That the raft was steady. Adapted to the curves of the river, as if it had been made precisely for this journey. It did not think about what waited beyond the next bend. It moved forward steadily into the unknown. And within me, trust began to grow. Later, surrender. The realization that this stretch of the journey could not have been walked on dry land. Yes, I could have wandered for ten or twenty more years, looking to the sky for answers — but this was the shortest path.
And it was one I had created myself. Created within me.

Has it become easier? Was it worth it? Absolutely. As trust opened, the river itself began to change — because I allowed myself to change. It grew calmer. Wider. There was nothing left to fight — not the current, not the rapids, not the old debris. The turbulence settled. And I began to observe. The raft. The river. Myself. And where I stand now. What I see is this: This final year of refinement has shaped new facets within me — ones I did not even know existed. And now they refract extraordinary beams of light, slowly illuminating the path ahead. I have no idea what waits beyond the next bend of the river. But deep within, I know it will be wondrous. And for now, that knowing is enough.

How much do we carry within us that is not truly ours? How much of what lives in us was placed there by ancestors, by other people, by society? How many borrowed lenses have shaped the way we were taught to look at this world — and to experience life through them? And you? How much do you see this world clearly, without layers placed upon your vision? Even your own path? I am not saying that all of this is wrong or bad — not at all. But everything has its time. It served you — until the moment you became aware that it no longer does. It has completed its work. And now it is ready to be released. With gratitude. With warmth in your heart. Return all the instructions and tools that are not yours to those who once handed them to you. It is time. Time for yourself. Time to see your own tools, yourself, and the path you will shape with your own hands. The direction — and how to walk it — you will choose by listening inward, to your heart, to the whispers of your soul. Clear as a mountain stream. Like a bird’s song in the early morning before the rest of the world awakens. Like a breath of fresh air after rain. Like a gentle breeze that moves through your hair as you stand at the beginning of your path. Free. Yourself.

In the past few days, the inner tension within me reached its highest point. I am aware that everything that has happened is reshaping my entire life — everything, as I once perceived it. My mind kept trying to draw lines connecting who I was before to who I am now. It doesn’t work. I feel like a dog shaking off water from its fur — wanting to shake all of this off. Even the desires and dreams that once lived within me do not look the same anymore. I cannot see them as I did before. It is simply not possible.

What has happened has transformed it all. They do not fit into my present. There is no need for them to exist in the way they once did. My perception has shifted so profoundly in just these few weeks that I myself cannot yet fully grasp it. Right now, I know absolutely nothing. And I do not need to know. That is why the mind creates tension — because it struggles to accept that everything has changed. I know only one thing: nothing from before is possible anymore, and nothing from before is necessary.

And strangely, I am at peace with my “I don’t know.” It is the reality of this moment. And it feels almost sacred — as strange as that may sound. Because it is my permission for something new to open within me. And right now, that is immeasurable.

The story was never about fixing your life or walking away from it. It has always been about remembering and returning. Returning to your silence. Returning home. And from that point, your entire world shifts. Everything begins within you — and ends there. You are both a lighthouse and a projector. Only multidimensional. Yet this process involves more than light and the ability to project. There are other elements just as essential to creation: your energy, your darkness, and the presence of your awareness.

Your energy carries not a single gram of force — nor does your darkness. Your energy is always present within the darkness — within an inert space, let us call it that. But it is not empty. It is filled with your potentials. Millions. Billions of possibilities waiting to be created. And even “darkness” is only a human word for that space. What has been missing is your awareness. You stand at the threshold. The door is open. You opened it yourself — though in truth, it was never closed. You had only turned your back and forgotten. Forgotten who you are. And quietly, the lighthouse has begun to shine brighter, because you are standing in the doorway, turned toward home — and the light responds to your presence. In that moment, remembrance awakens within you. Awareness dissolves all boundaries. There are no doors anymore. No separation. No seeking. The games fade. The thousands of roles. The weight of human facets. Only you remain — what you truly are. Wholeness. A sovereign creator. You no longer think about the lighthouse emitting light, or the lens projecting events, or the energy you once searched for everywhere but within yourself, or the darkness that frightened you because it had become unknown, or the longing to understand consciousness — which can never be grasped by the mind. All of it becomes simple. And you are home.

Then you no longer ask anything of life. Life simply flows through you, and you enjoy it — because the entire world has shifted in that moment. You are the point from which everything arises. And you know it. You are everything you perceive, because you create it all. There is no other… A whisper of the soul to the human.
