about everything, and now it’s all going to come back to bite them. But he always presented it in a way that seemed like he was still more on my side, and just as magical as I was. And there were, apparently, really just some people from the intelligence services who tried to monitor and study all of it. But it didn’t seem like he was close with them. Maybe they just knew him and used him once. I don’t know. I don’t know what his purpose is or who he really is. He looks, of course... I mean, I associate him more with something like, if you turn on the movie “Percy Jackson,” you see a boy who just goes to school — seems like a regular kid. And then it turns out that his friend is a satyr. And some professor or teacher turns out to be someone too. And they’re all watching over him. And for me, that’s the kind of feeling I get — he’s just someone who’s watching over me. Something like that, you know... It feels like you could imagine Big Alexander as someone who was somehow connected to the intelligence services, but I’ll say this — in recent years, I see it differently. In recent years, I see it more like this: there’s him, and there are some other initiated, truly unusual people — some mages, wizards, shamans. Maybe there’s someone like that in India, maybe in Ireland, or somewhere else. And they somehow all know each other, and they were all waiting for some kind of avatar boy, all finding and searching for boys like that. And in the end, it turns out that the one who found this boy was a wizard, a magical figure, and he was in Russia. And that’s Big Alexander. And as I understand it, that was only recently confirmed for both him and me, and therefore for those other mages in the world too. And those other “mages of the world” — in quotes, because I don’t know what else to call them — they all gave their respect to Big Alexander, acknowledging that he’s legit, that he’s the one who was meant to take on the role of guiding me. And it feels like when he first met me, he was sure that it was me, then at some point even doubted, and that maybe there were other candidates. He never talked about that, but now he knows for sure that it’s me. And they all know now too — someone among the initiated — that it’s me. And whatever that is, whoever those wizards are and what they’re connected to, it’s definitely not some physical, material organization. They’re some other kind of group, the ones who oversee everything, some kind of initiated elders. And he’s part of that. And from what I understand, those who are watching over the world — at least here on Earth —
