Philosopher, poet, writer, musician, artist, manager, stove-maker, welder, massage therapist, hairdresser, chef, developer, security guard, designer — these are just the names of the social masks Alexey Veliyar has worn on his life journey. And none of them define the author’s essence. Yet, there is one word that comes closest to expressing this essence — researcher. Not in a scientific sense, but in the context of consciousness and mindfulness.
