Alexandr Korol

Question: When you asked Big Alexander if you would rule, it felt like he knows the outcome of everything. As if he alone knows how it all ends. Is that true?

There is such a moment. There’s this feeling that he knows everything. But again, you see... it’s so hard to trace. Maybe we really need to accept what I’ve come to realize. Even though I’m now discussing the first volume of “Alternative History,” what unfolds later — at the end of the first volume and throughout the rest — is that the voice I was hearing, and all those strange people who spoke to me in unusual ways... it wasn’t about them as individuals. It was all the Spirit. It was someone who enters into me and into people. And maybe, after all, someone is someone — Big Alexander, just like me. It’s not for nothing that the Spirit enters him. But still, there are moments when I talk to him and he’s just a regular person, and there are moments when the Spirit speaks to me through him. But what I can now assume is that perhaps the Spirit who speaks to me through him — very likely, that’s him from the future. But because he became so unique, he can already take part, you see, in his own life in the past — intervening. And so that consciousness of his, unique in the future, returns to the time before he became that way, but he’s already influencing it. Just like, essentially, my Spirit — there, I’ve already become someone, and that Spirit, which is me, entered me even in childhood when needed, but it’s still me — it’s just that in the future I gained the ability to come back here, into my own childhood, youth, and somehow take part in it. Now, if we go deeper — whether it’s one Spirit or different spirits... Well, there can be many spirits, so maybe they are different — I don’t know. Because when I talk with Big Alexander, he seems to know the essence, just like I do, essentially — but not physically how things will happen. And that’s a very curious moment. It’s like he knows — as in mythology. In mythology, yes, there’s that exact structure by which all mythological stories are built. And it’s like he knows that structure — that, for example, the main character of a mythological story must die or perish or leave once he completes his mission. That there is some kind of navel of the Earth, a specific unique place in the world from which the creation of the world originates. And it’s as if all those elements are clear to him — that these events must happen, or these places must exist, or such a character, the main hero of a mythological tale — but he doesn’t know — well, maybe he knows now, but it feels like
