Guide. Become a God. Anton Alferyev

and the screen, and it is this filter that is our mind.

      The mind on the screen changes the image and does not allow us to see the true reality. To understand what is happening in our world, we need to change and manage this filter. Only in this way can we see and control what is happening on the screen, that is, in our lives. This requires awareness and self-improvement to get rid of distortions and perceive the world as it really is.

      We are given a mind to control and control it, and when we learn to control it, the world will be revealed as true and so will we. But not everything is so simple, it would be just that it would not be interesting in this movie.

      The first year of our journey will be dedicated to learning how to work with the mind. There are basic practices that will help us do this, but it is important that they are true, so that the mind does not deceive us and we do not go into illusions. The mind is a complex tool that can confuse and distract, finding many reasons to lead us away from the true path.

      It is important to remember about the lighthouse, which will serve as a guide for us. This lighthouse is you when you became the living God on Earth. It will remind you of your true purpose and that you are capable of more. By keeping your focus on this beacon, you can more easily recognize the mind’s manipulations and return to your true nature.

      Working with the mind requires patience and awareness, but it is through this practice that we can better understand ourselves and the world around us. Let’s be attentive and open to new knowledge, so that we don’t get lost in illusions and move towards our true essence.

      Mind Traps

      Mind traps are deceptive thoughts and beliefs that can distract us from truly understanding ourselves and the world. Here are some of the most common pitfalls we may encounter:

      1. Self-deception: The mind can lead us to believe in false beliefs about ourselves, such as that we are not worthy of love or success.

      2. Comparing ourselves to others: Constantly comparing ourselves to others can lead to feelings of inferiority and envy, distracting us from our own path.

      3. Fear of failure: The fear of making a mistake or failing can paralyze us and prevent us from acting.

      4. Perfectionism: Striving for the ideal can cause stress and frustration when reality doesn’t meet our expectations.

      5. Attachment to the past: The mind can get stuck in memories of the past, preventing us from living in the present and moving forward.

      6. Excessive worry about the future: Constantly thinking about what might happen can cause anxiety and prevent you from enjoying the present moment.

      7. Generalization: The mind can make generalizations based on a single experience, which leads to distorted perception and incorrect conclusions.

      8. Ignoring the positive: We tend to focus on the negative and ignore the positive aspects of our lives, which can reduce our happiness levels.

      9. Emotional response: The mind can push us to react to emotions instead of consciously considering the situation.

      10. Beliefs based on fear: Beliefs that are formed on the basis of fear can limit our abilities and hinder our development.

      Here is a detailed description of each 12-month smart work practice:

      1 month: Mindfulness

      Practice Mindfulness Meditation

      Goal: Mindfulness meditation helps develop the ability to focus on the present moment, improve concentration, and reduce stress levels. It allows you to become more attentive to your thoughts and emotions, and learn to accept them without judgment.

      Preparing for meditation

      1. Choose a time and place: Find a quiet and peaceful place where you won’t be disturbed. It can be a corner in your home, a park or any other comfortable place. Set a time when you can give yourself 5—10 minutes without distractions.

      2. Comfortable Posture: Sit in a comfortable position. You can sit on a straight-backed chair, cross-legged on the floor, or on a pillow. It is important that you are comfortable and can relax.

      3. Close your eyes: Closing your eyes helps reduce visual distractions and focus on your inner senses.

      The meditation process

      1. Focus on your breath: Start your meditation by paying attention to your breath. Notice how the air enters and exits your body. You can focus on the sensation in your nose as air passes through, or the way your chest rises and falls.

      2. Count your breaths: To help you focus, you can count your breaths. For example, count «one» on the inhale, «two» on the next inhale, and so on up to ten. If you reach ten, start again with one.

      3. Watch your thoughts: As you meditate, your thoughts may start to wander. This is completely normal. When you notice that your attention is moving away from the breath, gently and without judgment bring it back. Recognize that thoughts are coming, but don’t dwell on them.

      4. Gradual completion: After 5—10 minutes of meditation, gradually return to the world around you. Open your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Allow yourself to feel your body and mind refreshed.

      Tips for successful Meditation

      – Regularity: Try to meditate at the same time every day. This will help you build a habit and make your practice more effective.

      – Be patient: Don’t expect instant results. Mindfulness is a skill that takes time and practice to develop.

      – Use apps or recordings: If you find it difficult to meditate on your own, try using apps or audio recordings with guided meditation.

      Goal: Develop the ability to notice your thoughts and emotions without judgment. This will help you become more aware in your daily life and reduce your stress levels.
