let’s keep it general, then if they’re the real deal, they’ll always have a crowd and a line of people, even if they don’t have a website or any kind of description. And the office of such an expert, if they receive people in person, might be shabby, run-down, somewhere on the outskirts. And then there can be another kind of specialist — the one who declares and shouts about themselves so loudly that, even before actually doing their job, they’ll spend half an hour trying to convince you how great they are, how much they’ve done, how many clients they’ve had, what they’ve achieved. And here’s the thing — if someone is truly a master, why would they need to prove or explain that to everyone each time? They’re a master, period. They just do their craft and that’s it. But the one who isn’t really a master, or maybe only so-so, they try to inflate their significance. I’ve seen this in many places — different kinds of specialists. I remember one situation where someone kept going: “I’ve done this, I’ve done that, I’ve trained here and there...” I said, “Let’s get to the point. I don’t care where you trained — I need results.” That’s what matters to me: the essence. And you know what else is interesting? There are also people who, when charging for something, if they’re confident in themselves and in the amount they’re asking, they just name the price — plain and simple. But those who aren’t really sure what they’re offering, they’ll try to invent all kinds of stuff just to justify the price they’re asking for. I’ve noticed that pattern too. And coming back to the question — it turns out that someone can write a book by inventing a story with their mind: a person lives somewhere, goes somewhere, does something. And you can see that they kind of told the whole story in the book and eventually didn’t even know what else to come up with. But that’s just a certain genre, a style they chose — that’s fine. But mine is a bit different. It’s not even about my uniqueness — it’s just that my book has a different format: I explain the unexplainable. And when you explain the unexplainable, you can talk about it endlessly. You can endlessly interpret who came into existence first, who created us, how long ago it was, whether gods exist or not, whether God exists or not. And of course, as we grow older and develop over time, we can always have new realizations, new puzzle pieces that help us understand “ah, that’s why we live.” So even the question “why do we live?” — year after year — it always stays open and relevant. And of course, the same zodiac signs, the same seasons, these groupings of four, the elements — all of this: twelve hours, twenty-four hours on the other side,
