of the world, of humanity, of the entire universe, of everything. And on one hand, it’s not even that hard — it’s clearly an internal process. But essentially, you’re just gluing together sticks with a glue gun, one after another. And I’ve got so many of these models... I’ll say it like this: I just don’t have enough space anymore. It’s come to the point where, when I ran out of sticks, I had to take apart an old model for parts and build a new one out of it. But the process is captivating — I made a separate zone for it, laid everything out, and now it doesn’t get in the way like before. I used to do it at the kitchen table, but now I’ve got a dedicated space for it, and I don’t have to clear it off every day, clean it up, and then set it up again. Everything’s laid out, and I can just sit down and pick up right where I left off. This process fascinates me — absolutely incredible. So really, if we start thinking about the future — in the future, everyone will revere geometry, drafting, modeling, design, and all these geometric shapes — this is the future, or more precisely, it’s from the future.

When I was going through the list of questions from readers — questions about my novel “Alternative History”, Volume One — and when I was answering those questions so they could later be included in my seventh volume, where I revisit all the volumes and all the material, analyzing it together with the readers, I naturally experienced a “wow” effect — just recently, a few days ago. And in fact, that’s exactly what I expected: that when I go back through that information, I’ll start noticing things I didn’t understand before. And since the amount of information keeps growing, much of the earlier material starts gaining new meaning. One reader asked me about the Spirit that enters me — and reminded me that in Volume One of “Alternative History”, I said that when the Spirit enters me, it doesn’t enter only me — it also seems to enter those around me. And that they either come under the influence of this Spirit through me, or the Spirit enters them as well — or how does that work, and what is that? And the reader asked me about that just recently. And when I began answering, I had a realization, an insight — because back in the period of Volume One of “Alternative History”, I was aware and understood that yes, something was entering me, some foreign consciousness.
