certain abilities, that I’ll be able to influence not just one person, but the entire world, all people. I didn’t understand why, and why — I didn’t need any kind of power — to influence people. What for? And then he also said, during that time, “You know who you are,” but he never said who I was. He just said, “You know who you are.” “And you know that the people will follow you,” and that “you will lead the people.” And then he also said, “How will you fulfill the mission you came here with?” — that was when I wanted to stay home, write books, but not do anything at all, not talk to anyone, not work, and he said:

– How so? You definitely need to both communicate and work. You can’t do anything without money.
– I don’t want money.
– Money is a tool. How will you do what you’re meant to do? How will you make sure people all over the world read your books if you don’t have money?
– Ohhh.

And it really is such a simple way to manipulate me — when someone offers me something and then says that it will help spread my books, or that it’ll get translated into some language, I immediately go “Ohhh.” Now I try not to fall for that anymore. But for me, the book is the most important thing — I’m not even in first place. I don’t care about myself, my health, my mood. Whether I have something or not, whether I’m hungry or not — it doesn’t matter. The book — yes. The book is what matters. That I write the book, that it’s published, that people read it — everything revolves around the book. Nothing else matters. That’s just been my approach since childhood, for some reason. And no one will ever convince me otherwise. There’s nothing that could tempt me or lure me away. Nothing is more important than the book. What “golden child” means — I don’t know the exact meaning of the phrase. You can imagine anything. Maybe “chosen one.” Maybe Son of God. Maybe the Fifth Element, like in the movies. Maybe an avatar. I’ve been called all sorts of things. Even an Indigo child, yes. But I wouldn’t say I’m something supernatural — just an ordinary person, like everyone else, even simpler. People nowadays are very heavy, trying to be serious, while I’m super simple. So in fact, they’re the ones who are more special, always trying to seem unique. I’m not special — I’m as simple as it gets.
