And there’s nothing wrong with that. Why not? But my book — it’s complex. Right now, it’s genuinely hard for many people. Why? Because people have shifted into a single rhythm. They’ve forgotten what dynamic pace is. They no longer switch their attention from the rhythm of family to the rhythm of work, from the rhythm of work to that of friendship, from the rhythm of creativity to the rhythm of the material world. People are now stuck in a single rhythm — the comfort zone. And from that come problems with intellect, memory, dementia, all of it. They’re always in the same mood everywhere — because, for example, they have certain bad habits, plus social media — and because of all that, they stay locked into one rhythm. And they become dulled, flattened, that’s how they perceive the world — like zombies, but even more so. And if such a zombie now starts reading my book, then they have to strain their attention, which has been stuck for years in their usual rhythm — let’s say the 5-5-5 rhythm they’ve been in for 5 or 6 years since the pandemic. And suddenly, they need to snap out of it, strain their brain, and somehow dive into what I’m writing about in the first volume of “Alternative History.” In order for their rhythm to shift, their thinking needs to go from that 5-5-5 level to, let’s say, 4-4-4, and then to 9-9-9, symbolically speaking. Because I describe different worlds in “Alternative History” in the first volume. And then the second volume is the same way. In the second volume, there’s a major focus on sharp intellect and high-frequency thinking. And people who aren’t able to think logically, or can’t calculate or process things — they really struggle to read the second volume. They can’t concentrate on it at all. Why? Because they’re used to staying in their fixed rhythm — the zombie rhythm — where they just watch short videos on social media. And that’s why they can’t read a full book anymore — especially not the second volume of “Alternative History.” But those who are still flexible, not rusted, whose attention can still shift — those who read the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth volumes — they’re truly traveling across worlds, dimensions, frequencies. Their angles shift, their internal coordinates change — everything transforms. And when someone reads like that, of course — if they read the first volume of “Alternative History,” then while they were reading it, say the first 200 pages, they were perceiving it with their old self — meaning they missed half the things. So imagine a person opens “Alternative History” Volume One for the first time. And they’re reading about how some old woman ran up to me —
