"Runes as Process Stages"
🌀 Entering the system
You found this page by accident. Or not by accident. Perhaps you are tired of chaos. Perhaps you feel stuck. Perhaps you are simply looking for something new.
This is a navigator through the system. It answers three questions:
- 1. Do you need this system?
- 2. How do you use it?
- 3. What awaits you next?
Read it and decide for yourself — is this your path or not?
📘 Start with Book 0 on Litres (RU)⚙️ What is the Engineering Model of Reality
- The rune Fehu is not "money". It is the beginning.
- The rune Hagalaz is not "destruction". It is living with the result.
- The Blank rune is not "nothing". It is a pause between cycles.
When you understand the stages, you stop fighting your processes. You begin to see them. And when you see them — you can manage them.
🌀 The Blank Rune. A pause between cycles
The Elder Futhark has 24 runes. But this system also has a 25th symbol — the Blank rune. It is not a rune in the strict sense, yet it matters more than many others.
You sit in the kitchen. You look out the window. No "I want coffee", no "I need to call someone". Just a pause. A blank page. The silence before the first word.
The Blank rune is the bifurcation point. The place where a new cycle is born. But for that, you have to allow yourself to stop. And not be afraid of the stop.
📚 How the series is structured
25 books. Each one is a single rune. Not a "book about a rune" — a book as a rune. A stage to be lived through. And 24 runes describe the 24 stages of any process.
The series is divided into 6 blocks. Each block is 4 books. Each block is a completed micro-cycle within the larger journey.
Where are you now? Look at the blocks. Which one resonates? Where do you feel stuck? At the beginning of the path? In motion? In crisis? At the completion stage? That is a question for yourself. The answer will show you where to go next.
🧭 How to use the system
You can:
- Read the books in order — from the Blank rune to Dagaz.
- Start with the one that resonates — if you feel stuck, there is a book for your state.
- Use dimaa.ru — the official site. It gathers the methodology, the series map and free diagnostic tools.
On this site you can identify your rune, understand which stage you are in, and learn what to do next.
⏳ The three times
The whole system rests on a simple scheme of three times. It helps you understand where you are now and what to do next.
What is — your current position. The facts. What has already manifested.
What is happening — the zone of your choice and action. This is where you can influence the process.
What should be — your goal. The point of attraction. The reason the whole thing started.
Any process — from washing the dishes to changing your career — fits into this scheme.
You cannot change the past. But you can influence "what is happening". And through it — move closer to "what should be".
That is what managing a process means.
📌 A real-life example
You want to change jobs. The thought is there. The resources are there. You even know where you want to go. But you are not writing your CV. You are standing still. A week passes. A month. You are not moving.
Why?
Because you are stuck in Uruz — the chaos of choice. You don't know which vacancy to pick. You look at ten options and cannot settle on one. You are afraid of making a mistake. You are waiting for someone to tell you the right answer.
What you actually need is to narrow the circle. Make the choice. Even if it is not perfect.
That is a stage. The rune Uruz is the chaos of choice. To get out of it, you need to take a step. Sometimes any step is better than standing still.
🔮 What if I don't believe in magic?
Runes as a system are not a matter of faith. They are knowledge. A structure Dmitry Antonov assembled from observation, practice and mistakes.
You may not believe in magic, but if you skip a stage — the process gets stuck. Just as you may not believe in gravity, yet the cup that falls off the table still shatters.
Runes are names for stages. You can call them numbers, letters or colours. The essence stays the same.
Faith is your personal matter. The system works regardless of it.
👣 Your first step
If you have read this far, something in you has responded.
Take one step right now.
Take a sheet of paper. Write down one situation where you feel stuck.
Break it down into the three times:
- What is? (the facts, the current position)
- What is happening? (your actions, your choices)
- What should be? (the goal, the intention)
Just write it down. Don't judge. Don't look for a solution. Just look.
That is the first step. The rest is in the books of the series.
📘 Start with Book 0 on Litres (RU)🎯 The author's mission
I, Dmitry Antonov, want people to allow themselves to see the world as many things at once.
- To remove the blinkers that keep you from seeing processes.
- To dispel the systemic delusion that what happens to you is chance or fate.
- To show that everything has structure, stages and logic.
- And that in many moments you can manage it.
Not by rejecting the mystical — but by showing that it has structure.
I don't claim my system is the only right one. I offer it as a tool. As a map. And I am ready to change together with the world and with you.
