for no reason. Imagine this: I might buy some object right now, and then it turns out that in the fifth volume, I’m deciphering that exact object, or rather, I arrive at the topic it represents, yet I had already bought the object a year ago. That’s how I’ve ended up with many precious stones or certain figurines – I didn’t even know their meaning, just chose them intuitively, and only later discovered what they actually were. And what am I getting at? So, I’m watching Lost right now, and it shows exactly this moment where they seem to be on an island, yet at the same time, there’s a parallel multiverse shown – one where they never crashed on the plane. And then something happens: one person remembers something, then another remembers something, and they don’t understand if it’s real or not, but it completely captures their attention. Of course, in the series, everything is overly dramatized, a lot is mixed up, but I can truly confirm this: every person has certain moments they simply cannot forget. There are things in life, from childhood, that you remember clearly, or maybe not clearly, but it’s as if, every so often, you keep remembering them – every month, let’s say. Now imagine: the flying saucer I saw when I was five – there was never a moment where I just “randomly” remembered it. On the contrary, I never forgot it. Why is it stuck in my head, while so many other things have faded? A lot has been forgotten, but this is crystal clear. And these moments aren’t just about the flying saucer – it’s an obvious example – but perhaps people can feel that, at a certain moment, something was rewritten, changed, yet they don’t understand what or why.
What I can add, although I have already written about this, but I will describe it again, is that a long time ago, readers used to ask me: “Why is it sometimes impossible to remember what happened over five years, as if those five years were completely erased from my head?” I listened with curiosity to such stories, first from my acquaintances and friends, then readers also wrote to me about it. And I noticed one common pattern in all cases and identified the reason. Although my answer was rough, it was correct. I used to say, “Let’s say you lived with your heart until you were 20, but at 20, you closed off and started living with your mind. That is a different line of life, like a parallel world, a material one. And from 20 to 25, you were closed, you were materialistic. But now at 26, you’ve opened up, you’re reading my books, and suddenly you remember everything that happened before you were 20, while
