The Ways by Which They Follow Us

Once they said of my path:
You’ll meet ocean of death,
And I turned back my way.
What I see ahead since:
Wild and blind path extends…

Akiko Yosano, “Cowardice”

Staying in the early beginning of our Way or just of some little enterprise, what are we? We are a tiny knot of a proto-net, which can be turned into a big thing in our understanding. On the other hand, it’s possible just not to think on it or deliberately forget about it as well. There are a plenty of the existing communication channels, which are already driven to us, as to suchlike universal, global network of the all-mankind communications. We have already been influenced, as well as we have already been able to spread our influence on our surroundings. To the closer surroundings, as well as to rather distant ones. We can do it through the conscious changes of the own social status, which was mentioned many times in the previous article. These is, like it is – the status, like the main indicator of our movement. So, in case it changes for us to the worse – it means that our Way starts turning to the wrong direction from the aim we are aspiring to. Or it slowly turns into the blind path.

And the matter is hardly about the public recognition of the «correctness» of what we do. It’s out of the matter what aim we were going to chase in the early beginning, and it’s not important how this aim has been changing in the course of our movement, but the truth is – the aim can’t pursue the changes to the worse in our understanding. Not in the beginning, nor in the middle, nor in the end. The Way is not the movement to the worse.

What is the public status? How could be the «zero-status» and the absence of any status described? Probably, the next phrase would do it the best: «The world perfectly does without us, because it doesn’t even know about our existence…» So, then, what notions, understandable for us, could prove its presence? Well, different connections in our network of the global all-mankind communications are likely to perfectly do it. I mean, the already existing connections can prove it. It is any connection, which is prospective in order to provide for us the access to these or those resources, as well as to people, who possess these resources. The more we have efficacious communicational connections (channels), which either are likely or have already brought us to the results we desire or to the resources we need, even through several mediatory knots-people – the higher our public status.

And, really, the question lies far from the topic of the mercenary spirit, which is supposed to be dominating all over the world. Just try on the stated below. Imagine, that a certain man doesn’t have an access to any resources you are interested in. Note that anything can be a resource here: a good book, world news, information about the pop-music, etc. But this man has not a single communication channel provided, indeed.  He deals and communicates with you solely and never – with anybody else. So, he can do something useful and necessary only for himself, because there is nobody else who he could do it for. Now, try and imagine the subject to hold such communication, and the communication channel from your side in this situation. Some kind of a very important and permanent subject… As for me, bluntly speaking, I can not imagine this. Of course, it concerns the situation when it goes about such a man, about such a knot in the live communicational network in general. And concerning your job, the necessity or your personal need in such contact or channel leading to such a knot-person, tend to zero even quicker. Well, such situation is more likely not to appear at all, right? So far as the most usual action in suchlike situations – is turning the potential (prospective) connection into the active form, and what proceeds as the next step here – is the breaking this connection even without returning it to the potential (prospective) ones.

What could the phrase «wild and blind paths» mean? The first «Not» by default – the Way! The Way shouldn’t be wild and blind… It has to be bright. Well, why bright? Because it exists not only for you. Because it attracts and involves a lot of other people. Because it shouldn’t be reduced just to the moving of a little lonely knot by the accidental trajectory…

PEOPLE are around you! Rub shoulders with them, and turn all possible and potential communicational channels into the active and acting connections with live people. Don’t let that all the potential are slowly crumbled to dust of unrealized opportunities. Sweep people along by yourself! It always comes back and anyway makes you stronger. This is just one weighty argument, which could serve as a reason to shoot the works – be it sometimes at least – having started your movement.

It’s only in our forces to turn all the available Initiatives into the movement by the Way, into the light and bright finales. It’s up to us only – the ability to turn the global network of universal human communications, which are available mostly in virtuality and potentiality (in fact – as a global proto-network). Into the network, which would function according to your requirements, or – to the network-centric organization. Though, looking round, we’ll see neither the elements, which have been slowly turning down, nor little fragments of knots and connections of the temporary network, used sometime earlier. No. But we can see the functioning active and brilliant network. Only in that case we’ll probably be sure for 100% - that really was the Way!

Yes, it can be, that we miss to reach somebody. And miss to see, to pay the necessary attention to some potential existing connection. We are unable, and, perhaps, don’t have to envelop everybody. Because, if we see only people, and at the same time see neither direct channels of communication with them, nor the channels for communication of these people with the people, who are close to us, so, we have no ground to include them to our own network and even proto-network then.

Because the know, which has no interrelation, is not the ours. And we have no chance to use and influence it anytime. The usual situation like howbeit.

Finally, I’d like to mention one important thing.

All what is written in the series of these articles – is no dogma. All of these may not be and doesn’t necessarily have to be your own Truth. But. Glancing back, it’s humanly pleasant to observe the bright network of the well-established relationships, realized opportunities, and just people, who you have already reached everything with, and at the same time many things are just waiting for you in the future.
