[] [How to become a God] 1 Gratitude We wish to express our deepest gratitude to Mr Gevork Orbelyan for his invaluable contributions, unwavering support, and assistance in the development of the VITAMODO project, particularly in areas related to psilocybin. His dedication and enthusiasm continue to inspire us to pursue new achievements, opening ever-greater opportunities for ongoing progress. We are equally delighted to congratulate Mr Orbelyan and extend our heartfelt thanks for his gracious acceptance of the role of Ambassador for the project in North America. [] We wish to extend our profound gratitude to Ms Marina Morgan for her invitation, unwavering support, and substantial contribution to the development of the VITAMODO project. From the very outset, Ms Morgan displayed exceptional initiative, undertaking the majority of the organisational and preparatory tasks, while consistently demonstrating perseverance, a deep sense of responsibility, and an unwavering commitment to duty. It was her determination, meticulous attention to detail, and readiness to assist with any arising queries that inspired us to explore new ideas and embrace bold solutions. Through Ms Morgan’s diligence, this book was not only brought to completion on schedule, but also imbued with deeper meaning and structure, reflecting the full importance and scope of the project. We sincerely appreciate every moment Ms Morgan devoted to enhancing VITAMODO and trust that her contribution will serve as an exemplar for all who participate in and support the project. Her persistence and enthusiasm have provided the driving force that enabled us to realise our vision and opened new avenues for future growth and development. 2 Being God For many, this phrase sounds like a religious dogma, a sermon, or a slogan. Yet let us pause for a moment, set aside our customary dogmas, and immerse ourselves in a deeper concept. What if we strip away the religious overtones and regard it as a metaphor for a maximally expanded, healthy, and lucid state of consciousness? What if “being God” is not about holding power over others, but rather about having power over oneself—over one’s perception of the world? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Divinity as a Metaphor In most cultures, the idea of divinity is intertwined with a higher intellect, harmony, and perfect order. However, if viewed through the prism of psychoneurology, “divinity” is nothing other than a state of inner freedom—the capacity to perceive the world without distortions imposed by fear, ritual, or paranoia. Enlightenment is not a mythical pinnacle reserved for the chosen few. It is a process. When the mind ceases to wrestle with its inner demons and the psyche is freed from tension, one begins to see the world in a clear, pristine state, just as it truly is. Altered states of consciousness are often mistaken for something mystical or inaccessible. Yet these states are a natural part of life—those moments when you sense that “everything is in its place,” when the mind falls silent, and reality itself becomes calm and comprehensible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Divinity Without Dogmas When we speak of “being God,” we are not referring to religion, but rather to freedom—the freedom to see the world not through a glass clouded by fear and rituals, but directly. Consider how a person experiencing paranoia might see a red cloth as a shield against evil or devise a ritual to “form a contract” with a higher power. That is not freedom; it is servitude imposed by a troubled mind. A genuine “divine experience” is not a ritual. It is a state in which rituals become unnecessary. To be God means to accept oneself and the world without conditions. It means witnessing the beauty of a sunset, the smile of a child, or the touching gaze of a puppy without trying to assign hidden significance to them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Power over Consciousness Psychiatry shows that a person bereft of emotional empathy often seeks contrived mechanisms of control—rituals, compulsive actions, or pacts with non-existent forces. What happens, however, when one reaches a state of harmony? Such a person ceases to be enslaved by fear; instead, they gain an inner stillness. Power over oneself does not demand struggle. It is the state in which one no longer “fights” to survive in an imagined vortex of fear. One realises that to avoid drowning, it suffices to stop flailing and allow the body to float. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Being God as Mental Health Your psyche is your inner world. If it is healthy, you have no need for red cloths on your windows, nightly rituals, or a draining sense of guilt. You see the world clearly, as it truly is. You understand that happiness is not a dogma, but rather a natural condition that nature has instilled in us. Being God means being alive, authentic, and free. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Four Specific Rules to Keep Your Brain Functional Below are four specific rules to ensure your brain

Being God means being alive, authentic, and free. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Four Specific Rules to Keep Your Brain Functional Below are four specific rules to ensure your brain continues to function effectively. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rule Number One: What You Need to Know Think of the brain as a computer, and neurons as its processor. The processor and neurons interact via electricity, just like in any computer. This electricity is generated by the neurons using chemistry, akin to batteries. While computers may rely on lithium batteries, the brain has an entire complex—glucose, neurotransmitters, and numerous other substances. You need only grasp one crucial fact: these substances must be produced for the “computer” (the brain) to operate properly. The computer constructs our reality. And once we understand why and how it does this, the core principle is clear. The brain, at its best—its peak performance—can only function that way for about two hours. It consumes an immense amount of energy. The subconscious—whatever it is that regulates us—comes into play because, in a sense, “we” are not fully here: our presence here may be akin to a “holographic” or other form of reality. Regardless, it takes a great deal of energy to sustain it. Therefore, the body tries to keep the brain switched off as much as possible to conserve energy. This is why there is a “two-hour rule.” Critically, your brain can function as a fully “human” brain—engaging both the limbic system and the neocortex—only for these two hours. Beyond that, you may find yourself operating more like a reptile (sleeping, eating, mating, and so on) or locked in fight-or-flight mode—the limbic or emotional brain. The neocortex, I repeat, works fully for just two hours. A person can only be truly “human” for those two hours in a 24-hour span, and only when properly rested and prepared. It is imperative to grasp this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Pareto Principle (20/80) You must also understand the Pareto Principle: 20% and 80%. In essence, 20% of your efforts yield 80% of your results, while 80% of your effort might only yield 10–15% of the result. In psychiatry, this concept is crucial because those two hours represent precisely the 20% of your time that accounts for the vast majority of your achievements. When the brain is performing optimally, it can distinguish what truly matters from what does not. Your attention narrows so effectively that you can quickly “sort” your priorities, distinguishing the essential tasks from the minor ones. Consequently, you produce results. Once you have internalised these three points, observe what people typically do—and why misfortunes occur. People enter life’s “ring” like boxers. (Not long ago, tragically, a boxer lost his life during a match.) In the same manner, people step into critical tasks—going to work, engaging socially, resolving life’s urgent problems—while not in their prime state of mind, not within that two-hour window of top performance. Instead, they enter in their lowest-energy state and attempt to solve problems with their reptilian or limbic (the “monkey”) brain. Essentially, they merely react. The result is not just diminished; it can be thoroughly negative. People speak of motivation, burnout, planning… “You have to plan!” Indeed, when scheduling your diary or planner, you must ensure that you preserve those two hours at least. The brain tires, becomes increasingly suggestible, and grows weaker. When a person is fatigued, intoxicated, or in a toxic state, they are far more susceptible to manipulation. Any manipulator—or even a simple sound—can disrupt them, throw them off balance. If a person is tired and their mind is teeming with “parasites,” external triggers will engage the limbic brain, constantly generating threat responses. The more fatigued you are, the stronger those responses. Older individuals with weakened brains can be especially sensitive to various noises. We had a lawyer who once shot and killed someone in a cinema simply because that person’s popcorn-chewing sound infuriated him. He lost control, entered a reactive state, and could not endure it. People fail to realise how readily they can be “delivered up” to such extremes. They are not permitted to accumulate energy, nor are they taught to activate their truly human brain. You can only switch on that human brain if you have rested, slept well, educated yourself, and are in an environment free from immediate threats (where no lion is chasing you, no cataclysm is at hand). This planning is
