stable and unchanging. For example, one cannot put one's arm through a wall when in a deep phase. But at the same time, the properties and invisible functions of those same objects can be very unstable and sensitive to any mental disturbance. That is why it is difficult to instantly evaporate water or turn it into blue brick while in the phase, but water can easily be turned into vodka - a transubstantiation accompanied by change not only in taste and smell, but even in properties which affect the mind of a person who drinks it. After all, water and vodka have the same outward appearance, but only differ in terms of properties. And just as well, an object created in the phase for the purpose of obtaining information is extremely dependent on the internal state of the practitioner. A polluted mind muffles just what the practitioner wants to learn, and blocks what phase objects could easily convey to him. For that very reason, a practitioner desiring to obtain information in the phase should remember one important thing: one must be not only externally, but also internally as indifferent as possible to the information one obtains. In parallel with this, it is necessary to have full and complete confidence that everything will work. Otherwise, the object will vacillate between what one wants to hear and what one is afraid to hear, instead of a simple transmission of information occurring. This problem is overcome in large measure through practice, but there are some tricks that facilitate this task. The simplest of these is as follows: the practitioner asks the object his question neither point-blank nor right away, but unexpectedly during conversation on a side topic. This approach simply allows the practitioner to relax and remain indifferent to what is happening, if at least for a short while. CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT Surely, any creative person reading this textbook has had ideas occur more than once regarding the broad possibilities of using this phenomenon for artistic and cultural purposes. And indeed, it is difficult to imagine any limitations in this field. In addition to there being no boundaries from a
