Question: The messenger Lyubov recommended that you learn about the church. You decided to work with the priest from the church, and you were given a certificate of assistant to the parish council chairman. And then you write: “I got to know the church from all sides, it was an interesting experience.” Could you tell us more about this experience?

Well, first of all, I misunderstood the messenger Lyubov at that time. She meant it in a more figurative sense, not literally. But I still took all these riddles too literally, out of my own foolishness and youth, which I later laugh about in all my other volumes of “Alternative History.” When I reveal the topic of immortality in the fifth volume and bring up all the information, all the archives where it was ever mentioned, I discuss how some rulers even drank certain elixirs and died from them because they drank mercury, thinking it would help them. You see, they took everything too literally. They thought it was the philosopher’s stone, this code that you simply need to understand, and then you become a different person. That’s the rewiring, like installing firmware into a person. They just need to read all the books. Seriously. Imagine, it’s not for nothing that since childhood, we’re told that reading books is very important, that a well-read person is a smart person. But yes, now there’s a completely different generation of people, children, in the 21st century, and young people think that a book, which isn’t some super-cool gadget but just paper and text, how will it help them in life? But in reality, it turns out that it’s the strongest thing possible, stronger than any elixir. Imagine, there’s no need to drink any secret formula, you just need to read a book. Why? Because you are a system living in a system, and when you read a book, it’s like you’re updating your firmware. But that’s a topic I’ll explore more in the books later. For now, we’ll focus more on the first volume of “Alternative History.”

And returning to the question about the messenger Lyubov and about “knowing the church,” I took it literally, but in reality, why not? I was a young guy. In fact, as it turned out, people are all at different levels. And those people who, theoretically, cannot develop just by sitting at home, reading books, or keeping a journal, they have the social-material world created for them, where they learn everything through practice. Because there are people who don’t
