Is it possible to “Find Yourself” in the Himalayas?

We are sure: YES, of course.

After all, a journey, a real journey, is always extreme, it is always a way out of the zone of familiar things and ideas, it is always a step towards one’s self, one’s genuine soul.

And the Himalayas are also a place where, no matter how often you come, it is never enough, because every time a miracle happens inside you. After all, when you are in the heart of eternity and almost at the limit of your capabilities, it becomes impossible to lie to yourself. And even to face your shortcomings here is a blessing. Only by truly observing your shortcomings you can actually meet your merits. Having passed it, you understand: everything that has been before is a cowardly shadow theater or  a circus where the magician is deceiving himself.

But in order to be able to meet with the dark sides of the mind, one must first recognize that they are natural and normal. All who are alive, experience irritation, anger, pain, have weaknesses. There are no exceptions. Dark and light qualities and manifestations are a part of nature, like day and night, like clouds above a snowy Everest. Without black, there would be no white, but in fact - it is all the same. It’s just a property of our minds to colour events.

In a big city, we forget about it. And big mountains wake us up, awaken everything in us.
