— In that case isn’t Simoron a technique of unpunished behavior, permissiveness and anarchy? Do what you want, do as you wish.
— What kind of anarchy is that? Anarchy always implies resistance to something. It`s a destruction of the existing rules and regulations: be free in defiance of everything that surrounds you! We’re talking about the effective realizationtion of all human capabilities given him by nature. If a person is able, for example, to write beautifully, to dance, to sew, to lay bricks, to cook soup, to compose music, if he really likes it — he will do all that with the maximum benefit for himself. And not only for himself, the results of his work will be helpful to many. But to find this kind of calling in yourself is not always easy. Simoron just teaches ability to find it. The system removes the «deafness» in relation to yourself and to the world around us. Secondly, it teaches self-dependence. This is the most important thing in it. Self-dependence, not permissiveness, they are different things, aren`t they?
Permissiveness involves only operations with something that may or may not be allowed. Simoron also abolishes everything that somehow brings us back to those operations. We are talking about how to remove the need to look back, to check whether it is permissible or not. This is what independence (or self-dependence) means.
— What does person who restored self in himself feel?
— To begin with, he doesn`t feel anything. To feel something means to become isolated in something recognizable, familiar, routinary. We help person to enable feeling experienced by a baby, when he open-mouthed, is amazed by sunlight or stars. Watch him, if you can, see how the child looks up at the starry sky … He just recently came into this world and brought with him the experience of a Greater Universe — it is easier for him to recognize and remember what was forgotten by most adults: they only look down at their feet, so that not to trip and fall …
So when we discover inside of us this childlike, pristine amazement of life, we can only feel one thing: the process, discovery in constant progress, creation of the universe …
— How does Simoron help person to change his current existence?
— Changes are hardly the point. Changes are always relative, that is, there is always something in relation to which changes occur. Let’s say, someone of those who come to us, is not happy with his life (consciously or subconsciously) and he expects Simoron to help him in any way to change it. In fact, he continues to play the same game which he played prior to coming to school. Whatever he has «changed» (starting from something else), he will eventually come to the same thing he had before the «change.» Only the background changed…
Let`s get it straight: people who changed something in their lives or are willing to change are «players». As matter of fact, it is impossible to find a person, even the most conservative, who is not trying to change at least something in his life. But this approach is an illusion of life, not the life itself. The illusion is that a person all the time, kind of bumps into changes, to the change of scenery — even in small things, even in something … Something is changing all the time: here I looked in the window and saw some feather. There already has been change, I noticed it, and along with this change I myself seem to change a little … It seduces us, it tempts us, we strive for constant change, without noticing that in the process of it, we are missing our true program – discovery our true self in ourselves … Our main task is to stop this spinning, this tendency for constant change of scenery. That’s when we find true self!
