[Alexandr Korol]

– What do you see? What does it look like?
– A diamond.
– Right, Alex. The Philosopher’s Stone. Remember?
– I remember, – I was in shock – I don’t understand, Alexander, who am I? What is even happening? Who am I? What is this? Why me? What? Who? How?
– Alex, – he said it in a certain way – you know who you are. Or are you pretending? – I don’t understand.
– You know exactly who you are, – and he emphasized that I should ask myself. Naturally, my association was that I was some kind of chosen one. And right after that, he says to me:
– Jesus didn’t complete his path with his disciples, but you did.

What path? What does Jesus have to do with it? Why does he say He didn’t complete something? I mean, it seems like everything worked out for Him, judging by how people speak about it, and now he says this. What does he mean? I don’t understand. And then he says that what I drew — that is the Philosopher’s Stone, it’s the matrix by which everything is built: the structure of the solar system, the structure of DNA, the structure of the human being — everything. Time. Absolutely everything. And that people can’t decipher or decode it, but I can. That’s what he tells me. Because I don’t look at it the way people do. He says people see everything flat, but I see from the inside, because I’m like a child. Only children are capable of seeing this way. And he says, “We, you and I, see it like children.” And he always used this kind of example, as if we were the same somehow. He always said that only he and I — we’re the ones who can see it from the inside. Then he says that if I solve this, I’ll be able not to age, not to get sick. He talked about health, about “controlling everything.” In general, that I need to solve all of this.

And returning to the question of what the Philosopher’s Stone is. It seems to me, considering how I understand the world is structured — and it is structured as being divided into different worlds, and in those different worlds there is both a different kind of love and a different understanding of what’s good and bad — then the Philosopher’s Stone also appears to be different in each world, at least in how people understand it. Some imagine it physically, but I believe
