This is a shorter version of Unified State — Extended Interview 01

Kyiv, July 28

1. What age groups and professions do you primarily engage with?

I engage with a diverse spectrum of age groups. Professionally, the Unified State connects with diplomats, politicians, artists, musicians, actors, military personnel, humanitarian workers, spiritual leaders, religious figures, influencers, scientists, educators, medical professionals, and volunteers.

2. Which communities or groups are your main focus?

We collaborate with any soul committed to goodwill, life preservation, balance, peaceful coexistence, freedom, and love. This includes creative individuals, displaced children, war-affected communities, refugees, impoverished populations, the homeless, religious and spiritual organizations, scientists, active and ethical politicians, and youth seeking their place in our changing world.

3. Do you collaborate with other organizations?

Yes, extensively. We run multiple initiatives, including art, education, media, science, and technology projects. Our partnerships span humanitarian relief, healing arts, mindfulness, spirituality, medicine, scientific research, governmental and international bodies, notably the United Nations and the International Red Cross Movement.

4. How is the Unified State practically organized?

Currently, the Unified State organization is centered within myself as the founder, structured as an inner constellation of seven internal states. These internal states orbit a unified core—analogous to how a galaxy orbits a central gravitational force. Each inner state can form connections with external partners who maintain their unique infinite state, linking back through the central hub. Now, I’m actively working to clarify and externalize this inwardly developed structure for broader comprehension.

5. What does the term “State” represent in your philosophy?

The term “State” encompasses multiple meanings, from mental and emotional states to social, organizational, and cosmic structures. For instance, a child initially lives within a local state (home), gradually expanding to global awareness, systemic understanding, and eventually into broader scales like galactic and universal states. Each state represents progressive maturation and interconnectedness, culminating in an infinite state of existence.

6. Is Unified State philosophical, scientific, spiritual, or a fusion?

Unified State is a fusion of all these realms. It integrates philosophy, spirituality, religion, science, and art into one coherent framework. Specifically, it includes a unique quantum physics interpretation—”T Theory”—which harmonizes multiple quantum interpretations into a unified understanding of reality, suggesting no single fixed interpretation but a complex, multifaceted one.

7. What kind of impact has the initiative had so far?

The Unified State’s impact is deeply interconnected with my personal journey, manifesting variably across multiple dimensions. Impact ranges from immediate local actions to profound, long-term ripple effects. Measuring true impact goes beyond conventional metrics, recognizing that simple actions can trigger profound historical outcomes. My public emergence aims to illustrate this intricate ripple effect clearly.

8. How does your personal journey influence Unified State’s philosophy?

Unified State is essentially a reflection of my personal journey, deeply informed by my experiences across science, engineering, art, volunteering, politics, anti-corruption efforts, and personal relationships. My life philosophy emphasizes proactive engagement, problem-solving, and active compassion, forming the foundation upon which Unified State stands.

9. Practically speaking, what does “cosmic alignment” mean?

In daily life, cosmic alignment means consciously seeing oneself within the larger cosmic dance—visualizing Earth’s rotation, the sun’s movement within the galaxy, galaxies in universal rotation, and beyond into infinite cosmic structures. This mental alignment provides perspective, resilience, and a profound sense of interconnectedness, sustaining freedom and love.

10. How do you prioritize your projects or areas of focus?

I prioritize intuitively, sensing where my efforts will yield the greatest positive impact without unnecessary resistance. Combining intuition, scientific analysis, simulations, statistics, and game theory, I strategically select projects where my contribution can significantly alleviate suffering, enhance freedom, and expand love.

11. What key lessons have you learned from building the Unified State?

The most profound lesson is humanity’s ongoing struggle with judgment rooted in fear and scarcity of freedom and love. Despite technological progress, societal attitudes have evolved little in critical aspects. This realization underscores the necessity of cultivating compassion, openness, and genuine freedom.

12. What has been your greatest challenge?

The greatest challenge has been maintaining authenticity and inner peace amidst external pressures. Achieving genuine silence, relying solely on internal motivation, and preserving my core values of freedom and love against societal noise has been my most significant and continuous personal challenge.

13. Are there specific communities or countries you’re particularly focused on?

While currently addressing urgent crises in regions like Gaza and Ukraine, my focus dynamically shifts to various global communities as necessary, including America, China, India, Iran, Israel, Africa, Latin America, and beyond, always aiming to identify and address pressing needs.

14. Have you experienced moments of doubt, and how have you overcome them?

Yes, doubt arises frequently. I overcome it through continuous movement and engagement across all Unified States—local to infinite—using unified meditation and practical engagement. Doubt is temporal and spatial; active, purposeful movement dispels it naturally.

15. Can you elaborate on the metaphysical foundations of your work?

The metaphysical foundation is a comprehensive synthesis of religion, spirituality, theoretical physics, biology, evolution, and daily experience. This integrated worldview acknowledges all major religions as varied perspectives of one underlying, infinitely complex reality, aiming to eventually craft a unified perspective accessible to evolving civilizations.
