It is curious to see, on the icon “The Burning Bush,” that in the centre, the Mother of God is depicted with the Son of God, who, as you see, has reached her by way of the ladder — that is, the ladder that appears in many places, in many sacred scriptures, the one I am walking up, the one from which the serpent-tempter casts everyone down. And Big Alexander has always frightened me that no one can pass all the way to the end of this ladder; some make it even to the end, but fall off — the very last rung is the hardest. Many describe how this ladder consists precisely of two worlds — the sun and the moon — and the third world is this very ladder, that is, it is the star along which you are walking. And it is interesting that “The Burning Bush” — even when I was little in 2010, when all of this happened to me, what I describe in the first volume of the novel “Alternative History” — when messengers were coming to me — even back then, without understanding it myself, the Spirit was speaking through me, speaking about how the little cross is a little twig, a small piece of the matrix, that has to grow and turn into a bush — precisely into this “Burning Bush.” Here is this matrix, and not in a plane but three-dimensional, since I drew this very matrix onto the city of Saint Petersburg. As Big Alexander also said, one shouldn’t look at it flat, but from within — and if one deciphers and comes to know this matrix, one can become immortal and rule the whole world.

And this matrix “The Burning Bush,” you see, depicts the ladder, so that the boy may, in the end, reach her by way of the ladder. I don’t know — is it significant that I am right now deciphering this, and that everything fits so neatly? Is it connected to the fact that I am right now walking up this ladder? Does it symbolize the fact that I have walked all the way up it? That’s still a question. I can’t yet make such loud declarations. But the fact that all of this is right now coming together so beautifully, and that it is part of my path, which I am recording in the novel “Alternative History,” the eleventh volume — that is wonderful.
