The first volume is like a preparation for people — for them to consider: “Maybe it’s this, maybe it’s that, maybe it’s something else.” I take all that into account so that the reader doesn’t end up with those kinds of silly thoughts later on. Seriously, the book “Alternative History” actually leads the reader somewhere, it guides them. It’s supposed to take them somewhere or lead them to something.

Question: On icons, saints are depicted with hand gestures, and humanity doesn’t know what they mean. These icons hang in every church, there are many of them, and a large number of people look at them. So it must be an important message from those who control everything, since they depicted it on the icons, and people are supposed to use it — and perhaps they did long ago, before the knowledge was lost. Do you think these gestures are meant to give something to people in the future?

What I mention about this in “Alternative History,” in the first volume, is true. When I began to explore what a church is, I naturally started searching for the oldest things. That is, I only trust churches and cathedrals in Saint Petersburg that were built before the revolution, of course. And I also seek out the oldest possible icons, not modern ones. Although, in fact, I’m very proud and grateful that the Church still controls how icons are painted, ensuring that they follow the correct canons without mistakes. This is strictly monitored. I don’t know, maybe even by some external organizations, but it is definitely controlled. Yes, on icons I noticed that saints hold their fingers in some unusual way. And when I was still young — around twenty years old — I naturally tried doing the same and began to feel something happening in my body, a shift in energy. I immediately assumed that those who rule everything use this for something, that it serves to switch something on or off. That is, we probably have a whole bunch of functions that we simply don’t even know how to use. It’s like we just haven’t gotten to that point yet. We haven’t grown up enough for it yet. Like in the movie “Lucy”, where the scientist (played by Morgan Freeman) says that we don’t use one hundred percent of our brain. Yes, meaning that all the physical data of a fully developed human is already built into us, but it’s as if we’re still moving toward that potential. We were created — but again, I talk more about this in the later volumes of “Alternative History” — if we were created in the image and likeness, then the one who created us, God,
