From hermitage to collective creation. How to interact with people while preserving your inner light.

There was a comment in a Telegram channel about how to interact with people when you live outside the city, but when you’re in the urban hustle, you start picking up on all of it.

There are actually a huge number of such people. In short, it’s important to understand what you are attuned to, what you are connected to in that moment.

Before, solitude was important; it allowed you to disconnect from the hustle, from horizontal connections, in order to strengthen your vertical and gain inner strength.

But now the time for interaction has come. It’s impossible to co-create alone.

In this article, we’ll talk about the path that many of you have walked, or are walking, from hermitage to collective co-creation.

Read on to learn how to interact with people and stay in your power, continuing to radiate light and love.

Only crows fly in flocks

I first heard this phrase many years ago from Svetlana Dobrovolskaya. When I met her, I got a taste of what true fundamental metaphysics is.

For some reason, I wanted to interact with people. I tried to find a flock, went to Simoron festivals, tried to connect with Lightworkers, and then I organized large channeling seminars myself. I was constantly trying to fit in somewhere, but everywhere I felt like an outsider.

I was especially impressed by one of the Kryon conferences. I went to it with such enthusiasm. I stood in the hallway and watched as a crowd of Lightworkers formed a huge line, trying to push through the doors to be the first into the hall and grab seats.

I stood there in such bewilderment, thinking: “Where am I and what am I doing here? Who are these people and what connection do I have with them? And anyway, why did I come here?”

That was my first such realization.

And Svetlana Vladimirovna, in response to all my tossing and turning and disappointments after these meetings, said this phrase: “Only crows fly in flocks.”

Why do only crows fly in flocks, where did the phrase even come from, and what lies behind it from an energetic standpoint, from the standpoint of what you and I do?

Because horizontal connections are very strong.

We have a vertical that we build individually, and we have a horizontal connection.

Horizontal connections are an endless game of ping-pong, where a serve is sent to you, you return it, a serve is directed to you, you return it. The average person is endlessly at this level of interaction.

Great importance is placed on who said what, what was said, where they looked, and so on. Even if it’s online, this interaction still happens.

You may have noticed this yourself, for example, when visiting your parents if you haven’t seen them for a while, or meeting up with old classmates, you suddenly slide into discussions, gossip, or something close to it, getting drawn into clarifying some details or trivialities that don’t really interest you in life.

The value of solitude in the old awakening cycle

Before, in the old awakening cycle, it was important to retreat into solitude and disconnect from horizontal connections, because people back then didn’t understand that you could simply say “no, these topics don’t interest me, I won’t talk about these subjects,” and set boundaries with your relatives.

We were somehow not aligned for this; we entered into this interaction very easily, and where there is a horizontal connection, there is “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours,” and so on. This is a thriving 3D model in full measure.

The only way out was solitude — to go somewhere out into the fields, into the forests, to the countryside, or like we did for many years living in Latvia, when your interactions consist only of relatives and one or two acquaintances who later turned into friends.

Write in the comments who among you went off into the fields, into the forests like that.

Because there is no other way to break free from the distractions of the outside world and switch your focus inward. Many people have gone through this process.

That is precisely why only crows fly in flocks, while eagles soar proudly in solitude.

The task was to return to yourself as much as possible, to nurture your own light, grow your own vertical, open yourself to love, to reach those levels where you are capable of feeling and experiencing love. And doing this in a crowd of people was very difficult.

This is hermitage in its pure form, but in modern conditions.

If you have gone through this hermitage, yet are still connected to the ordinary world, there will be a very strong contrast between how you feel when you are in a crowd, or somewhere else.

This is essentially a turn inward, when you encapsulate yourself, your energy becomes separate, because you disconnect yourself from external influence and find a place where this influence does not exist.

Only a sovereign, autonomous person can create

If you have built the boundaries of your field so that nothing external influences you — and this is not about protective techniques, it’s about building a powerful inner core, when you rely primarily on yourself, and no matter what is said outside, no matter what happens, for the most part, you simply don’t care.

And then, oh miracle! you can stand in a crowd of people.

But because you have a closed system, and you rely exclusively on yourself, this external influence does not affect you. Even if this crowd is shouting, screaming, you don’t buy into it, if you don’t resonate with it.

The task was not to turn into monks, hermits, and soar somewhere in proud solitude. The important thing was to build such powerfully foundational energetic boundaries around yourself that you become a self-sufficient, autonomous unit.

Because without this, you cannot do anything in the state of a creator. You cannot create while being dependent on everything and everyone. Therefore, the period of disconnection was very important.

When a ship goes on a long voyage for several months, people take everything they need with them: water, food, and a supply of household goods, so they can remain in a functioning state for a long time.

It’s the same with a spaceship, which also has supplies of everything for a long period.

The creation of co-feelers

But since creation does not work in solitude, having built this autonomy and self-sufficiency within ourselves, we still require interaction.

When you have built this within yourself, you begin to interact.

It’s not necessary to lead people to the barricades or gather crowds, but to co-create, there is unified creation.

Therefore, what starts to attract are not like-minded people, as they might have said before, but «like-feelers».

Because the word “like-minded” implies that you think the same way. Each of us has so many of our own personal mental delusions that even when reading the same books or listening to the same people, there is no unity of thought whatsoever.

But co-creating through feeling, through heart-centered connection, is quite simple.

Therefore, situational meetings will happen, where you resonate with someone, and together you co-create.

But this is impossible to do when external forces exert great pressure and influence on you.

The collective unconscious hasn’t gone anywhere. In Telegram channels and social media, attempts to manipulate people through emotions and push certain ideas are common. There are people who get paid to stir things up and amplify them, regardless of the topic. This is a powerful tool of manipulation.

You yourself choose whether to remain in this or not. If you don’t disconnect from all of this, waves of anxiety, fear, uncertainty, and panic will naturally wash over you.

Focus on your own goodness, on feeling

Therefore, right now it’s extremely important not just to remain in the vertical, but to maintain your autonomy, so that no matter where anyone throws things, they fly right past you, and you don’t get pulled in.

But not getting pulled in isn’t enough. Abiding in your own goodness is many times stronger than anything happening outside, and at the same time, you are attuned to sensations, to feeling what is happening inside your heart space.

And interaction with others, who are the same, in our metaphor, become eagles, based on feeling.

But this isn’t just any random person off the street, because otherwise this horizontal attempt to get sucked back in starts all over again.

This is precisely why it was necessary to build up your coefficient of light, coefficient of love, coefficient of strength. To build it up so much that, if needed, you could stand in a crowd.

Unity at the level of vibrations. Interference

Unity is about co-sounding, about a unified sound, and for this, all parts of you must be aligned.

You can connect on a certain frequency, but each person’s experience of living it and making sense of it will be their own.

You throw a pebble, ripples spread; if you throw two pebbles, the ripples intersect. This is called interference. This is how unity happens. This is the most concise depiction of this concept.

You stand, and a field radiates around you. When two autonomous, sovereign, radiant beings, filled with light and love, stand, even not right next to each other, the effect of their presence also creates fields that intersect.

And in this quantum field, there are no distances, and they reach each other from very far away.

Those who have gone through a period of solitude or hermithood, share your experience. What did you take away from it?
