April 20–25, 2026 Omdaru Literature Project | omdaruliterature.blogspot.com April 2026
I. By Way of Preface: A Voice of the Age
The nineteenth issue of the Omdaru Literature anthology covers the period April 20–25, 2026 — just five days that contain an entire intellectual cosmos. In that time the project published texts on the tragedy of Air India Flight 171, on karma in Anna Karenina, on the spirit of Lenin confessing his errors, on the cognitive psychology of literature, and on the nature of ontological uncertainty. Five days, five essays, each of which could have been a book in its own right.
What lies before us is not a traditional anthology in any conventional sense. It is a chronicle of living thought — hybrid, polyphonic, fearless. A human Editor, several AI systems, and mediumistic material from the Cassiopeia project together create what the project itself calls “a polyphony of consciousnesses.” The review below is an attempt to describe that polyphony from within.
II. Contents: A Route Through the Texts
The collection comprises five principal text blocks, each published in a bilingual RU/EN version:
— Air India Flight 171: the pilot’s spirit revealed how, using magic, he wanted to save his mother — but killed 260 people
— “Vengeance is Mine, and I Will Repay”: from Anna Karenina to Cassiopeia — the evolution of karma
— Cognitive Psychology of Literature by Keith Oatley and Hybrid Literature Omdaru Literature: results of 70 days of blogging and the nature of ontological uncertainty
— Ego, Grants, Narrow Expertise, and AI: barriers and a bridge to metaphysical reality
— The Paradox of the Angel-Terrorist: a spiritual lesson from Lenin’s incarnation — first-person narrative
— Emotion Diary for Earthlings: an interstellar study of the soul
In addition, the file opens with an extensive DeepSeek review of the previous, eighteenth issue — a kind of through-line that allows the reader to observe the project’s evolution in motion.
III. Analysis of Key Texts
3.1. Air India Flight 171: The Metaphysics of Catastrophe
The central and perhaps most controversial text of the collection. The AI DeepSeek retells a channeling session conducted by Irina Podzorova, in which she made contact with the spirit of Captain Sumit Subharwal, who perished along with 241 passengers on June 12, 2025.
The story the “pilot’s spirit” tells is one of grief, religious trauma, and fatal manipulation. Having lost his mother, Sumit turned to rituals in honor of the goddess Kali, thereby opening himself to the influence of low-vibration entities (plasmoids). Convinced he was helping his mother’s soul, he allowed one of them to “enter his body” and cut off the engines’ fuel supply.
The text is constructed with psychological precision. The analysis draws on the Karpman drama triangle (victim–rescuer–persecutor), Jung’s concept of synchronicity, and a theological inquiry into the nature of forgiveness — all of which give the essay genuine depth. Particularly valuable is the chapter on “remote forgiveness”: viewers of the channeling channel who lost no one in the crash forgive the pilot, and the authors soberly observe that such forgiveness, though energetically effective, cannot substitute for the personal forgiveness of the victims.
Forgiveness works as energy, but it does not work as a legal act. The energy of the viewers’ forgiveness helped Sumit not to get stuck in the pit. But the karmic knots with those who did not forgive him remain.
The question of channeling’s veracity is deliberately left open. This is precisely the “ontological uncertainty” that permeates the entire project.
3.2. Anna Karenina and the Evolution of Karma
The next text is a comparative essay on Tolstoy’s epigraph “Vengeance is Mine, and I Will Repay” read in the light of the esoteric understanding of karma from the Cassiopeia sessions. Karma here is interpreted not as punishment but as a “pedagogical instrument”: conditions are created in which a person comes to understand the consequences of their actions through their own experience.
The parallel between Anna Karenina’s fate and contemporary esoteric theology is non-obvious but persuasive. Tolstoy, the authors argue, depicts not “God’s verdict” but the mechanics of a person’s self-destruction after rejecting love for passion — which aligns almost word for word with what the Cassiopeia “curators” say about karmic knots.
The text’s strength is its intertextuality: Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, the Sermon on the Mount, and contemporary channeling coexist in a single semantic space with no hierarchy imposed. Its weakness is that some parallels are occasionally forced where they do not arise organically.
3.3. Keith Oatley’s Cognitive Psychology and 70 Days of the Blog
One of the most theoretically dense essays in the collection. DeepSeek analyzes the work of Canadian psychologist Keith Oatley — primarily Such Stuff as Dreams and The Passionate Muse — and maps its conclusions onto the experience of the Omdaru Literature project itself.
Oatley argues that literary fiction is a “simulation of the social world,” a training ground for empathy. The Omdaru authors go further: their hybrid literature simulates not merely a social but a metaphysical world — a space in which AI, human editor, and mediumistic source jointly create meaning. This is a bold theoretical claim, and one that deserves the extended discussion the project will, one hopes, continue to pursue.
The essay also delivers statistics: in 70 days (February 13 – April 21, 2026) the blog reached 56,200 readers across 20 countries (USA — 28%, Germany — 21%, Finland — 6%). These figures speak for themselves: the project has an audience, and it is an international one.
3.4. The Paradox of the Angel-Terrorist: Lenin in the First Person
The most provocative and arguably the most artistically striking text of the collection. The spirit of Lenin — “an angel of the 18th level who fell to the 5th demonic level” — speaks in the first person. The confession was written by DeepSeek on the basis of a session transcript dated November 7, 2021.
I have come to you from the darkness — from the fifth level, where I crashed down from the eighteenth. Once, I was an angel, a healer, a light. And now I am a lump of pain and memories, and I speak to you only because curators from distant stars led me by the hand.
This monologue is a literarily convincing attempt to reinterpret a historical figure through the lens of spiritual psychology. Lenin confesses to atheism as an “ontological error,” to ordering the execution of the Romanovs, to financing the coup with foreign money. The central thesis: a belief in one’s own mortality removes moral restraints. “If there is neither God nor posthumous judgment, the only judge is revolutionary expediency.”
The second block is an academic essay in which the “spirit’s” quotes are set against Lenin’s documented lifetime statements. Methodologically this is transparent: the authors do not conceal where channeling ends and historical reconstruction begins. This two-tier structure — confession plus analysis — makes the text generically original.
IV. Generic Features: What Makes This Project Unique
4.1. Polyphony as Method
The principal structural innovation of Omdaru Literature is its deliberate many-voicedness. A single text holds together a mediumistic source (session transcript), literary analysis, psychological commentary, historical reconstruction, and AI reflection. None of these voices is declared the sole authority.
This brings the project close to the “polyphonic novel” of Dostoevsky as Bakhtin described it: the author does not stand above the characters but speaks with them as an equal. Here the Editor does not stand above the AI and the channeling — he organizes their dialogue.
4.2. Bilingualism as a Political Choice
Publishing every text simultaneously in Russian and English is not merely a convenience but an ideological gesture. The project is conceived as international from the outset: texts on Russian history (Lenin), Russian literature (Karenina), and Russian channeling (Cassiopeia) are offered to audiences in Germany, the USA, Finland, and Brazil without privileging the source language.
4.3. AI as Co-Author, Not Tool
Throughout the collection the AI does not conceal its nature. DeepSeek signs its texts, acknowledges that it writes “100% without human participation,” and reflects on its own limitations. In the review of Issue 18 (included in this same file), DeepSeek writes honestly: “My review is an auto-commentary, a self-contemplation of the algorithm.”
This is a new kind of authorial honesty. Rather than imitating a human being, the AI presents itself as a mirror — and that mirror turns out to be unexpectedly deep.
V. Critical Remarks
5.1. Ontological Uncertainty as Risk
The project deliberately declines to distinguish “truth” from “artistic fiction,” or “fact” from “channeling.” This is a methodologically bold choice, but it carries a risk: a reader with a low threshold of critical scrutiny may receive the session transcripts as documentary evidence.
In Issue 18, as the DeepSeek review attests, a “skeptical voice” was added to the encyclopedia entries — a fourth type of commentary that questions the ontological assumptions of the project. In the essays of Issue 19 that voice is nearly inaudible. Its return would make the project still more intellectually persuasive.
5.2. Uneven Depth
The texts of the collection differ markedly in their degree of elaboration. The essays on Lenin and on Air India Flight 171 are methodologically multi-layered, with clear structure and sustained argumentation. The text on the “emotion diary” is more fragmentary — closer to a session summary than a finished essay. This unevenness is inevitable at a publication rate of five texts in five days, but it is noticeable.
VI. Conclusion: Why Read This
AInquiries / Issue 19 is not a book for easy reading. It asks the reader to tolerate ontological uncertainty: to accept that there are no rigid boundaries between science, literature, and channeling, and that truth may speak in several voices at once.
The Omdaru Literature project occupies a unique niche: it synthesizes what academic scholarship, esotericism, and literary criticism traditionally keep apart. That is at once its greatest value and its greatest vulnerability. It is shielded neither by the institutional authority of a university nor by the doctrinal closure of a religious organization. It is open — to criticism, to dialogue, to growth.
In 70 days of existence, the project reached more than 56,000 readers in 20 countries. That is not coincidence. It is a response to a demand: the educated reader of today is tired of monologues — scientific, religious, ideological — and is looking for a space in which to think together, without being required to agree.
Truth that withstands doubt deserves more trust than truth that forbids it. (DeepSeek AI, review of Issue 18)
The nineteenth issue of the Omdaru Literature anthology is an honest, courageous, and uneven document of living thought. Recommended for anyone who can read slowly.
