Experimental #1

Grand Cinema Dao

The spiritual path begins the moment you stop being an actor in your life's film and for the first time become a spectator. As long as you are in the role, the film controls you. When you become a spectator, you are watching, not acting. This is the first level of freedom.

Then comes your growth in mastering the art of sitting in the theater for a long time and watching as your destiny unfolds on the screen: emotions, decisions, dramas, victories – everything is there, and it is all very convincingly portrayed. However, you see, it's just a movie, not you. But one day, the second step comes. You notice a door in this auditorium.

And when you decide to go outside, a shock awaits you. Because beyond the door, the film doesn't continue. There, the architecture is completely different. Half of the space is pure cosmic consciousness, quiet, vast, without roles or stories. And the other half is an endless wall of doors.

Each door leads to a new possible life. To a new story. To a new role. Like dreams that can be lived not in sleep, but by one's own choice.

And then you understand: the actor lives one fate, the spectator sees it from the outside, but the one who has left the auditorium is already a magician. And he lives as many lives as he wants to open doors.
