In the first part of this interview, Maria Bregman shared with us what topic is currently inspiring her to write a new book, what money means to her, and how she looks at the stars when she thinks of Nicholas, a character from one of her stories.
In this second part, Maria reveals what drives her first: emotion, rationalism, or irrationality. She also talks about the limits of human consciousness, the meaning of wisdom, and the possibility of not writing.
What drives you first: emotion, rationalism, or irrationality?
“I am driven by an incredibly powerful desire to break out of the framework of a world where everything is subordinated to fear, the inability to move and develop, the desire to indulge in other people’s perception of life more than my own. Life is a world that flows through your flesh and moves it forward to the extent that only human thought can limit it. And what are you willing to sacrifice to reach your goal? You have to pay for everything in life, don’t you? And every realisation of the goal and the way to it will require something to be lost. It’s always like that. You gain one thing and lose another.
These are the limits of what is forever fixed in a person’s consciousness. Isn’t it time to shake off the patina of the alien?”
It seems that behind the wise answer there is an attempt to conceal some mystery or mysteries. Are you saying that in gaining one thing, you have not lost another?
“If we take wisdom as an idea from outside, then my ‘veiled mystery’ would be hidden from the ordinary human gaze.
Then what is wisdom as opposed to “outside”?
A phenomenon beyond reason.”
What haven’t I asked you?
“You didn’t ask me if I could stop writing. I could (of course I would share this with my reader and I would want to write about it) if I realised that the world has opened up another path for me, sufficient for my realisation and given me the opportunity to make this my common contribution to the development of universal being.”
