21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Also, my entire story, starting from 2010, which happened to me and continues to this day, connected with the philosopher’s stone and these sacred writings, simultaneously intersected with the question of who I really am. And naturally, my upbringing didn’t allow me to make loud declarations, and I even felt some embarrassment and confusion back then, in 2010, when many people around me hinted that I was chosen, that I was not ordinary, that I was the chosen one. Big Alexander said, “People will follow you, you have come to save everyone.” But every time I asked him directly who I was, he never told me at that time. He would only say, “You know yourself.” And if I suggested some option, he would say, “Well, you kind of know yourself.” But! Whenever someone from my circle tried to impose the idea that I was some kind of second coming, Big Alexander was always against it. He said, “What does Christianity have to do with this at all?” Just like that. And I didn’t understand him. Because I was born in Russia, in Petersburg, and I am an Orthodox person, and I was trying to think within that framework, like icons, Orthodox Christianity. But he kept pushing me to understand that I didn’t come only for Orthodox people; he said,
