a fragment from his contemporary work "BEING AND LIFE" (ca 1998).

BEING AND LIFE (6)

Spirituality has micro and macro levels, which correspond to individuality and culturally diversified humankind. Being demands diversity of beauty and good. But, we are not an assemblage of elementary particles of spirit, our connections through the semispherical channels works evidently like their archetype animals, that is especially relevant by mystically appearing mass suicides for regulation of quantity within specie sake, as V. Vernadsky argued elsewhere in the beginning of the century.

For the first years I used my Chinese I read books of extremely different content, among which I had acquired several translations (in Chinese, naturally) of psychological papers of American, German, French and other scholars.  I noted — and it was a revelation to me — that a surprising event occured:  I realized that all-possible associations freely appearing in my mind were of special —Chinese! — kind!  The all internal world of mine was as if switched over to another line or direction of mental proceedings. I was ‘culturing’ really in another space!

That was simply too wonderful to leave without further attention. Namely, this brightness helped me to understand what causes me some unexplained analogical phenomena during every other similar emmersing into areas of Arabic and German, Italian or many and many Slavic, German and Japan, French and Spanish, Hindi and Roman, Hebrew and Yiddish, and even the pseudo-consistent yet finely diversified English. And so on, and more...

Every new plunging was like a next laboratory probe. My hypothesis was confirmed on the ontogenetic empirical level. The better way to check its correctness was for me a pedagogical praxis.

My fear occurred thoroughly vain, because the method of emmersing worked not only for me, it was also valid by an absolute majority of some apprentices .

Each cultural system that weaves its own unique logic texture of semantic joints, creates his own conditional eternity, which for humans is imaginable only as somewhat spatial, e.g. a dim broad line with disappearing lower and upper parts, or sphere that fizzles gradually onto outer contourless shadow at last reaching a full darkness. But the important point here is the existence of qualitatively different eternities by different cultures.
