Today I want to share something very unusual. In my opinion, it is absolutely amazing: a journey through time, into the depths of oneself, and a societal device all in one. I don’t think there are enough words to encompass and fully describe the range of possibilities that GSR opens for us. Direct cognition of everything at once in all aspects, volumetrically, holistically, with the possibility to be always and everywhere, in all points of the world and time through oneself… It will be long. With personal touch. But I would like not to miss a single detail. And try to convey in a clear way what has struck me so much and what I am still figuring out.
***
It all started banally simple: I looked at my suitcases, waiting for the next packing, and sensed in myself a resource for the future trip and then a few steps ahead. And I thought: wow, I never suspected that moving, nomadic lifestyle is “mine”. The childhood dream of “living in different places of the world for a long time” before GSR didn’t clash with reality. I loved traveling, travel – any kind of travel – inspired me a lot, but at the same time, home was very important to me and I was eager to build my nest.
With coming to GSR, everything changed. I “got off” the ground. Flights, traveling, moving around became my everyday routine. Changing countries in one day, arriving and settling in immediately – no question. Even at the very beginning I learned that my resource is this: not to have a home, not to have anything permanent. I remember that I was upset at the time. But as I moved deeper, thanks to working with myself, this resource ceased to be colored by vagrancy for me, I began to find more taste in it, to grow.
Once again I started to feel into my resource, I began to look for some social parameters of identification of this resource. By myself, I travel to different places. But, for example, to what part of society does this resource refer me, how can I use it more universally? Why do I have it in me at all? In parallel, there was another flow in me that I couldn’t find the right puzzle for: to watch over the groups, like a shepherd over a flock, so that no one gets separated or lost. And at some point I began to look not at each resource separately, but to look for their intersection in the depths of myself, and at the same time in the depths of centuries, who were these people – who combined such types of resources in themselves? After all, all of our resources eventually, like small flows, gather into wider channels and flow into our main flow, the deepest flow – the flow of self-realization. So the merging of these resources at some point is inevitable.
And suddenly the puzzle came together: ancient nomadic peoples. Nomads are better known to us from the raids and devastation a la the Golden Horde. But their original occupation long before that was cattle breeding and continuous movement with their herds in search of better lands for grazing. Something clicked in me. I began to spin the way of life of such people and the more I looked, the more secondary flows were pulled up to the main flow: unpretentiousness in clothes, housing, food and readiness to “rush” at any moment anywhere, and a kind of minimalism, and the ability to make necessary things out of available resources, physical endurance in moving long distances, a special love for walking or driving a vehicle, building connections between different points – a kind of mediator. Even the whip found a place as a tool for controlling external dynamics and resource (herd). Through the system of ancient resources, my current ones shone through more vividly. And I saw myself better, in a completely new light. And I removed many labels from myself at once.
***
It’s an amazing point that we keep forgetting, and it’s important to remember. At our core, we are entirely the same bare-breasted ancient people who lived tens of thousands of years ago. But people endowed with a system of resources that brought us to where we are now. A resource is always realized in a characteristic way. Getting into the essence of one’s resource, it can be applied in life in its pure form, bypassing superfluous frills and bows. And more clearly through it realize the essence of what is happening. And thus, be more effective in your actions.
As we work through ourselves elementarily with the module 1 GSR, our resource base begins to crystallize, compensatory messages go away, there is more pleasure from being ourselves, from what we are like, how we are organized. You can live with yourself, do you understand?
***
Within the historical “truth” of the last few generations, we had no nomads in our family. But if you think hard enough, for example, my dad worked as a driver all his life and, by and large, was nomadic continuously and daily. And his father was a military man and was regularly transferred from one unit to another. And I didn’t even remember that right away. In other words, if you trace the resource by some known points, you can see that it flows coherently from generation to generation, just realized in different ways. And in some total, according to the totality of the observed resources, I turn out to be a descendant of a nomadic herdsman. And in fact, within the framework of consciousness intermediate links of generations between me and the first ancestor are insignificant, consciousness rests on the base at once. If we consider consciousness as a cut of a tree, then from its surface, from the bark, I have significantly deepened in a certain focus towards the core. And I began to see this area not in torn parts, as it was before, but as a certain whole piece. The way one can see one’s mom or dad in one’s whole self, for example. Now I see someone else in myself, and it is a whole, consistent character – sitting in the kitchen and writing something on a laptop. Nomad!
That realization is priceless. In fact, I’ve been playing this character my whole life and didn’t even know it. And I have to say, as a nomadic herdsman, I was terribly ineffective. But the good news is that going forward I don’t need to conform to that role at all, and use the resources I have more broadly and for other purposes. But at the same time, I can also grow in that spectrum of resources too. At this point, I now have a choice.
***
I started to look further and wondered: what if this resource of mine, so strong and useful, is actually compensatory. For example, if we dig deeper into destinies and look at it not from the point of view of personal use, but more broadly, as a kind of social resource. What if a nomad goes somewhere not because the resource calls him, but because he was sent? This approach allowed me to look at people, society, and my place in the world in a completely new way.
I will start a little from afar. In general, all humans can be divided into nomadic and sedentary. Animals can also be divided into migratory and non-migratory species. Man is one of the animal species. And in the animal world there are no species that are both migratory and non-migratory at the same time. Each species is sharpened to its own way of survival. Sedentarization was not characteristic of ancient people. Their camps were temporary, farming did not exist. Getting food by gathering and hunting, people migrated following animals or ripening berries. In other words, the nomadic way of life seems to be the basic way of survival for our species.What is the nomadic way of life: we get up, gird ourselves and go. We don’t carry anything unnecessary, we go where we go, or rather, where our resource goes. And our resource is migrating herds of potential prey.
And now an interesting point. There is a certain historical mark when it became possible to say that people ceased to be just walking herds, and showed the first signs of civilization. Such a milestone is considered to be the first skeleton of an ancient nomadic Chinese with signs of a broken and, more importantly, fused femur, recorded on archaeological remains. Which means that during the healing period of the fracture, someone was around to care for the person – as such an injury completely deprived the person of the means of independent survival. This event may also be a sign of sedentarization.
It is quite possible that at some point, the sick and lame, unable to move together with their nomadic tribe, began to organize longer camps, which later grew into settlements, and further – cities and countries. Agriculture and cattle breeding of non-migratory animal species began to develop in the parking places, and it was also easier to develop crafts and arts in the conditions of the parking places. Who knows, perhaps the desire to decorate the dwelling is a consequence of the fact that people in sedentary life could not replenish their impressions as intensively as nomads, so they added colors and variety to their lives by painting and various crafts and decorations. Nomads, continuing to move along their routes, could begin to use such points as places of storage of excessive resource, and thus there was a sense of gaining it. Taking into account that there was more than one such tribe, and there could also be many permanent camps of different tribes, trade, money, and warfare began to develop: after all, you can not only create your own camps, but also capture other people’s camps or defend your own. Determine the value of various resources, deliver them to different points as quickly as possible…
The funniest thing is that I perceive all this from my nomadic resource. I do not invent or fantasize, I have no idea how it really was, and I certainly do not remember from history lessons. I just feel this resource of mine and see where I would direct it, what I would do, what would be useful on it, what processes could be triggered on it and where, what would be important to consider. In a very concentrated way, I feel the whole dynamics of social development from ancient tribes to modern society. As if I had lived all these millennia. But if we plus or minus check with historical references and some logic, it will most likely turn out to be very consistent. The same resource can be traced at present and its unfolding in the future can be predicted. The flow goes further all the time and triggers various social processes, revision of boundaries, redistribution of resources, group reshuffling, creation of something new. For example, in recent years, the migration of people, the development of telecommunications, remote work opportunities are one of the consequences of the unfolding of this resource in its non-personal form, and it is as global as the movement of lithospheric plates. But we often notice only the consequences of the flow and do not have time to get involved in its active dynamics.
***
This is all the second surprising point. How through the system of personal resources one can get access to the resources underlying the world order. And to see some other logic and ways to fit into it, to move on a resource that is not personal, but deeper, and thus more accurately get into new trends. Many people already do this at the level of gut feeling, but they do not manage these processes consciously. And if you do not have such a gut feeling, you will not be able to follow the global trends at all. With the help of GSR you can touch it and be always on the wave consciously.
***
At this point you could have stopped by now. And I’ve been thinking for a long time whether it’s worth describing the third step I took in this direction. And yet I will share it. Next, I made myself a mini diagnostic. Just to see. I put out the nomadic resource and sedentary. The first trick that this diagnostic highlighted to me showed that the very contact with this resource of mine strengthens my Life Flow. And this corresponds to what I know and observe about myself. But the separate focusing has been useful, because, in fact, it gives me clearer keys for life processes of any level. Previously, I did not correlate these resources in such a way and did not use them in such a targeted way.
Next, the diagnostic highlighted to me the importance of looking into what triggers my nomadic resource. In other words, what is a deeper base for this pumped up resource of mine, clear from many sides. And the base to it turned out to be my flow of self-realization – the Flow into the Future. In general, earlier I felt the connection of my main flow and nomadism. But I could not grasp more precisely what the essence of this connection was, perhaps I even confused them. Now, having separated the figurative perception of the flow from its true properties, I saw that it is nothing but a mechanism for triggering dynamics/changes.
I started to have all sorts of different, completely disparate parts of me come together. The base of which is my self-realization flow. In other words, I felt the connectivity of everything with a deeper part of myself. For me, this is the first experience of getting in touch with my own flow step by step. Spontaneous, intuitive, chaotic – it was before. But there was no conscious contact with my own flow, as if the path had not been trodden, and now through another strong resource I managed to touch it and separate one thing from another. This is one of the tasks I have been striving to accomplish lately. Having stretched the resource once, I can probably do it again.
With this small observation, I have taken a significant step towards myself. In the perception of myself. Where previously I saw only myself, I can now see the “nomad” as well. But also see now a deeper part of me that can manage and use it for its intended purpose. Can I find someone else in myself? Or create one? In a sense, I’ve caught some of my key to managing my own resources from a deeper flow, to trigger dynamics where I need them, including in areas of “sedentarization.” And if previously the nomad was entirely me, now I have expanded beyond it.
***
Some kind of bottom line I’d like to convey.
People don’t know a lot about themselves. There are, frankly speaking, few ways to understand themselves adequately, without flying into fantasies and going crazy along the way. And even to use the result obtained in real life in a clear, simple way – even less.
And the point is not in the nomads, or in the images that appeared. The point is the set of resources and the interconnections between them that I saw. I did not come to it in some magical, esoteric way. I didn’t get some sudden insight or epiphany. A huge advantage of GSR is in the clearly created and worked out scheme of movement to yourself. And I have been sticking to it throughout my time in the GSR. Each step can be tracked, checked, adequate. Grow in the effectiveness of researching yourself. And for this purpose, the GSR system has an extensive set of proven tools.
As a result, we get not just descriptions of an esoteric nature, with which it is not clear what to do, but specifics that can be used in the most practical way in everyday life. Our resources are not fantastic, they are all very applied, even the most irrational. And this significantly increases our efficiency of life in general.
The path begins with the 1 module of GSR. This is the technique for working with oneself, one’s own states. As we master it, we gradually move on to flows, resources, working with other people. All of this can be learned. Each person is unique in their own way. The point of entry and importance is different for everyone. But on the way to oneself, everyone gets his or her own self, understanding of his or her place in this world and the opportunity for self-realization.
And also – it is a very exciting and interesting path.
