I was interested in what the system would highlight for me, what I would see, so that I would choose it myself. Because I noticed that the gems I choose personally, each individual gem, is much more special than if a master were simply, so to speak, cutting them for me. Even though sometimes he cuts them much more expensively, with more quality. And so I chose different gems. I also walked through different holy places. And I deliberately did not choose perfect, so to speak, rubies, because why would I want it to look like glass? That is, I need that in it, in this stone, there is still some nature and naturalness, you understand? That is my approach. And this is also such an interesting, how to call it, “golden mean,” I do not know how exactly. But it is good everywhere, in competitions, and everywhere, and in everything, when you choose something, to choose not first place but second. To win not first place but second. First place is already... It is not the first — it is such an illusion. In reality, when you take second place — you are genuine, honest. But for the one who takes first place, from him much is demanded — it is already a trap. It is for the vain, the greedy.

Well, that was such an interesting dream. And what is interesting is that it was one of the dreams, finally, after all the adventures that happened to me throughout the whole “Alternative History,” that was finally a positive, uplifting dream, because after this dream there was such warmth in the soul and such a pleasant aftertaste of this winning and this conversation with God, that this is why I won, but not everything, that it must be so, to remain invisible. And what is most interesting, again this lottery, I associate it with this fortune. And I keep seeing everywhere, all the movies, all the news, about treasures. Even now when I was wandering through various holy places, in the mountains, in caves, I was peering everywhere, maybe I would see some kind of artifact, some kind of sign. Seriously, I crawled everywhere with a flashlight. Yes, curious. And such was the dream. Maybe I should try to buy a lottery ticket again.

I also had such unusual thoughts. I also want to share and record this. Just imagine, there is, for example, a person, say the owner of a hotel chain. Well, of course, there is a board of directors, there are many of them, a whole team.
