And I have a golden pendant with a scarab. Well, I understood that the ladybug should not be mixed with the scarab — I will come back to that later. But the point is that the ladybug is very important. Very important. At first I had thoughts that, fine, I will make a pendant, but I still want, you see, to make it as modern as possible, so that it would not look like some market trinket for ten rubles. If I am to make the ladybug, then it has to be made of gold or gilded, highly detailed, so that it looks serious, like something unique, and not as if it were just painted over with some bright colors, some random red, who knows what. And likewise, accordingly, the image of the ladybug — I immediately thought that of course one should also make such a cap or a T-shirt, but again, you see, a cap with a ladybug as they are drawn now on the internet — that feels too simple, as if it were just market-like. So I will keep thinking about how to depict it. And then the solution came to me: that all such symbols should simply be depicted within a circle — that already gives so much. And I think: “Oh, well, if I depict the ladybug within a circle, and if this drawing is not just some little bug with legs, but rather a circle with a little bug with legs inside it, then that will already be something more interesting.” Plus, if the right colors are used, or if it is all made in gold, or in a combination of some green and yellow, or if the ladybug is made, let’s say, not red at all. We will see. Or perhaps the entire circle will be red, entirely, and on it the ladybug will simply be drawn in black, and then it will seem as if both it and the circle are red — and that already looks somehow more fashionable. But I am thinking all this through, because it turns out that, imagine, if I now make all these images into illustrations for my ninth volume, and if I also use them in clothing and in various items, and even in elements of home décor, then it will be simply wow. I am even curious what the extraterrestrials, what the system, what God, want to show me with this. Or rather, I already understand — but this is it, this is a cast of the elements of the world of heaven. That is, you believe in it, you think about it, you look at it, you read fairy tales, you watch films, cartoons, you use it — and that’s it, you are included in it. And then, miracles happen.
