Autobiographical notes

... Accepted the idea only for the energy approach, when the first movement begins with the loss ...
See how the water is with a stone, which gives it form, what a game, a quiet, stone disappears.
All completed accurately. This happened for itself. It's natural ...
Recognize and say: "We destroyed together, we naturally ... In the hands of us actually left over from the ideas of truth, faith - a remnant, but this is reality ... This is a mark of our fall - from crystal to complete the primary fear what will happen in the next moment ...
You can see the balance. If you know the secret, you will learn from him that with us proichodit.
All remained in their former places dropped - we broke up - we are.
We fragments from one of the explosions ...
Comes the one who said: "Here it is again spoken. That said, I myself. I have the same. I go, I know that beauty - is the pain of memory "...
We are losing almost everything, but except for the balance - is the sense. He tells us: "You're right."
We are not afraid, this should be, the game, it's memory, contact the destruction, only time. We know everything at this point, so we look our eyes. Far suggests: "Do this."
