“I, Silvio Manuel, tell you: only
daring one can walk confidently the Path of
knowledge! One has to have a venturous heart to go
traveling to the Unknown!
“I, too, went such a Path. Set out
on a sorcerer’s journey to the unknown worlds, I
never thought about returning to the ‘earthly’. I
strove only toward new unexplored expanses awaiting
Me on this Path. The life filled with sorcery and
new worlds — drove Me forward!
“But as I advanced, I gained Wisdom.
And I turned from a ‘restless’ sorcerer-traveler
striving for the unknown worlds into a Calm,
which embraces everything.
“Gradually I gained understanding of
the true Goal of the Path, granted to Me by the
Power.
“And one day I moved from the state
of a separate seeking self — into the state of the
Higher Self and became the entire boundless
Light-Power.”
“How did You manage to attain
everything in one lifetime?”
“It was the only purpose of life for
everyone of Us. Seen unbelievable prospects open for
Us, We discarded from Our lives all the rest, let go
everything that We ‘cling to’ before.
“… In relation to this, let Me tell
you about detachment — an essential attribute
of the warrior’s life.
“Detachment implies two
things: a system of values revealed to the warrior
by the Spirit and resolute adherence to this system.
“To have detachment means that one
walks through the life not as if through a bazaar,
idly looking here and there, but moves forward
taking every step in accordance to this system.
“Don Juan said about the same when
He explained to Castaneda that a spiritual warrior
plans his actions asking advice from his death.
“And one more thing: sad is the
future of those who do not seek companions, do not
take others on the journey! A spiritual warrior
weakens, faints if he has no one to fight for!
“First, man fights for himself, then
— for others, and he grows thanks to this. If man
has no one to fight for, he weakens and soon dies a
natural physical and spiritual death.
“Therefore, one must fight!”

“I invite you to My Depths!
“But do not try to entice people
into Me!
“The Freedom which lives in My
Depth is the highest reward only for those who
truly strive for it and are ready to pull themselves
out of the commonness and limitedness.
“Do not entice anyone into Me! I
receive in Me only those who desire to live with Me,
in Me — and not for a moment, but to unite their
lives with Me!
“As a water current flows round all
obstacles and runs to the depths, so you
pursue your course and do not turn back!”
