BOOK 2. THE BATH SCHOOL. N. LEVASHOV'S «SVETL BROOM» IN A. KHATYBOV'S «BATH SCHOOL» AND A LABOUR SPADE

The world outside as if exists, but at the same time it is almost an abstraction. The last ones are the tank trucks. They are hermetically sealed – neither windows, nor slits. The people in them do not see the outside world. Their only reality is the space of the tank, in which they are as if immured. The world outside the tank is not even an abstraction for them, it just does not exist. There is "a flow" of people through the train . Who wants to know the world around as a whole, moves towards the locomotive and once gets into it. Who does not want to know anything other than the visible reality inside the carriage or the truck, they move toward the tanks and one day find themselves in the tank. Some of those who seek to know the whole reach the locomotive. Those who do not feel like it, once find themselves in the tank. The slowest is the flow from the locomotive and tanks. From the locomotive down there go the blind. From the tanks further up there go the sighted (or – feeling intuitively). In the locomotive today a negligible part of humanity is traveling – literally one out of a million (even out of ten or a hundred million). Hundredths of a percent go in passenger carriages. Tenths of a percent – in freight trucks. The rest of the humanity (about 99% of people) makes their life journey in the tanks. Everyone has their own life journey, but everyone is sure: there exists only VISIBLE TO HIM SPACE OF THE TANK. Neither consciously nor subconsciously, the thought never occurs to the passengers: "Is there anything outside the tank?" For them, the VISIBLE SPACE IS THE ONLY REALITY. Different perception of the reality determines the possibility of a dialogue between people from different spaces. Travelers in the locomotive can communicate relatively freely with people from passenger carriages. Communication with passengers of freight trucks is possible, but more difficult. With people in the closed space (from tanks) it is impossible, because their ideas about the world are different, as well as their goals. Between the sighted and the blind there is just nothing to talk about. With the blind only the other blind easily finds a common language. The
