Future Vision

The Diamond

Fortunately, a real diamond is not mined; it is dreamed.
When an ordinary bitcoin is mined, electricity burns, video cards heat up, hashes are counted. But this Diamond of Absurdity, in theory, is not obtained by force.
It ripens — and, by and large, appears only in a dream, under certain conditions.

Conditions for Its Appearance

First, a sound spirit in a sound body.
Second, not a single pea in the bed.
And here, of course, the princess and the pea turns at once from a completely different side.
Perhaps one needs to be not merely sensitive in order to see the diamond through all those mattresses of anxiety and discomfort?
Most likely, the pea is that very “noise” and “interference”; without it, the signal would be clean.

The list of conditions, of course, can be continued endlessly — after all, the path to the diamond is approximate, and each person has their own.
But the essence is one thing, and as a rule it is purity.
First of all, purity of the body. By the way, this is not simply washing and becoming clean.
Purity of the bed implies that it is strictly yours, while purity of thoughts is the absence of them.

How It Forms

Here your new description is the very formula of the diamond’s birth.
The diamond is like the keystone in an arch; in essence, it is that very butterfly effect, located at the dead point.
And, one may suppose, at the very center. In all likelihood, one can come close to it and even sense it, if it becomes possible to determine its size.

First, difference gathers from the edges toward the center — like streams flowing into one river.
As a rule, peripheral differences pass through similarity, direction, and causal connections. In theory, they are not lost; they are arranged.
Folders within folders.

A multitude of meanings, in essence, compresses into several main axes.
At the center, there is no longer chaos. There is a transparent structure of three directions.
A compressed Universe. Roughly speaking, figuratively, ten thousand elephants in a glass.
And from here the return path begins: a response comes from the center — back toward faces, results, and points of coincidence. The ray passes through the whole system and returns gathered.
And here comes the moment of cutting.
One way or another, the connection from the periphery to the center and back becomes so pure that the answer stops being merely an answer.
It begins to sparkle with facets.

An Illustration of the Above

The Centaur is raw force. Impulse, instinct, pull, movement. The Centaur’s arrow is a sign of force and the hunt.
It flies because there is an impulse. Where it lands is decided by luck, wind, and the strength of the draw.

Cupid is already another level. The same image, but grown up together with the meaning.
Cupid’s arrow is not about force, but about precision.
It does not fly just anywhere, but into one single point — where the amplitudes, frequencies, and inner response of two phenomena have already ripened for meeting.
This point is not the heart of one of the lovers. It is the bull’s-eye of alignment between them.
A fine point where the connection is already ready to flare up — only the seal is needed.

Provided that Cupid is not the cause of love, but the seal, the consent for the activation of Life. Then the Centaur carries the impulse, while Cupid places the seal of alignment.
In that case, the arrow connects the poles. Activation launches life.
The Centaur’s arrow is the request. Cupid’s arrow is the response.
And if the hit is not precise?

Not every Centaur’s arrow hits the bull’s-eye on the first attempt. And then the one who responds is not Life itself, but Cupid’s secretary.
An intermediate answer. A draft. The Underpainting of Absurdity — until the real coincidence ripens.

Three Attempts and a Hundred Years

And here your guess about the Ascension Cathedral in Novocherkassk falls into place in the overall picture.
The foundation was laid in 1805. But it was not built on the first attempt.
The first and second versions of the cathedral did not stand — they collapsed, were not completed.
Only the third project, developed at the end of the nineteenth century, turned out to be that very “hit in the bull’s-eye” — and was brought to completion in 1904.
From the first foundation laying to completion — almost a hundred years.
It seems the Centaur really can have several attempts to shoot.

And for Cupid to place the seal of alignment on something truly large — a cathedral, a diamond, wholeness — time is needed. Sometimes a century.

But when the arrow finally hits the bull’s-eye, the building still stands today. It shines on the hill. It can be seen for dozens of versts.
