two years ago, that we were sitting in a bar when Toni Gibson, the messenger,
came, before New Year’s. That is — he too, as a witness, had come across many
kinds of wonders.

And imagine — this friend keeps telling me about some film, that I myself had
recommended it somewhere on social networks. He lists the actors, says for me
to remember — and I don’t know what film he’s talking about. And the thing is,
he’s recommending this film to me. Then, maybe a week goes by, and I remind
him about the film and ask for the title. And I’m left alone thinking: I need to
watch this film. And recently, when I came back to the world of people again, I got
in touch with this acquaintance, this friend of mine, and told him that I wanted
to watch the film he had recommended. And he tells me: “I didn’t recommend
any film to you.” I say: “How can that be? You recommended me this film.” He
says: “No.” I’m shocked. And I realize that means the Spirit had recommended it
through him. That is — the very system in which we live had recommended a film
to me, and he doesn’t even know it — he was, as it were, a messenger. And he had
never watched this film in his life. I tell him: “You even recommended this film
to me twice.” And he says that nothing of the sort happened. Either I have senile
dementia, or, after all, these are wonders, and it was said to me through him this
way. And the thing is, I still haven’t watched this film, so I don’t want to say its
name. I want to watch it myself first, before anyone else, and then perhaps I’ll
mention it in the book. But it’s interesting — there had never been an intervention
of the system in my life like this before. It’s some new wonder.

I want to also give this clarification. Possibly, the eleventh volume ended at the
moment when I realized something and something clicked in me, when I was at
the Nine Inch Nails concert. And possibly, all my notes now and everything that
continues from here is already a new volume. Or maybe, after all, it will be part of
the eleventh? I don’t know. This will become clearer further on. I’m being led by
the system, by nature — I can’t control it or resist it. Just like the one on the other
side, the one who is reading my novel, I myself am walking through this path.
And I myself am also curious about what will happen next. And there are so many
intrigues — just like in a TV series. Very many intrigues. By way of clarification, of
explanation, I’ll say: it’s as if the voice hinted to me that when I go off there fully,
