you take care of your health — that’s understood — but still, it’s as if you’ve devoted yourself to your work. It has to be someone who has given themselves fully to their craft or their mission, someone who’s willing to stay up all night to shoot that film. Then maybe the Spirit will enter you and guide you, elevate you. That’s how it works. And the Spirit doesn’t always enter — it enters when needed. I’ve noticed this in myself, throughout the entire “Alternative History” since 2010. There were moments when criminals confronted me, and the Spirit entered me and spoke to them. There were moments in conversation, when someone asked a question, and suddenly the Spirit entered me and answered with advice. And I understood — it wasn’t my advice, it wasn’t from my mind, it was a force speaking through me to that person. And that force — it could threaten someone, inspire someone, support someone, or say, “Come on, confess” — and the person would start confessing. But that was the Spirit doing it, not me. And there were moments when that Spirit wasn’t there. And also, when I was talking with Big Alexander or the Mystic-Old-Man, sometimes I’d be speaking to them like regular people, and it seemed like they didn’t know anything. But at other times, the Spirit would enter them, and they’d start revealing everything. And that’s why, for example, it’s convenient for the Spirit to speak to me through Big Alexander and the Mystic-Old-Man — because they have a broad worldview, the themes align, all this mystical stuff. It’s easier for the Spirit to speak through them to me than, say, through a builder, for example. And it works the other way too — it’s easier for the Spirit to speak through me to someone else, because I don’t distort information, I won’t get shy or anything like that, I have a good vocabulary and a good supply of examples. So when I explain something, I distort it as little as possible — this is my approach. So there are many reasons why the Spirit enters someone or not. Also keep in mind — why would the Spirit enter someone if you’re a slacker? First and foremost, it’s a path — you must choose a purpose, a mission, like being someone unique, for example, a surgeon. And God will always act through you to save those people who need saving, and everyone will say your hands are from God. The Spirit will enter you — but again, only if it sees that you will dedicate your entire life to surgery. And whenever needed, without any trace of vanity, you’ll go anywhere in the world, even to a village, some remote corner, and fix someone if they’re meant to be saved. And that will be the Spirit, God, acting through you.
