I started the story about the jewels with the family and education in order to show that everything is connected. I used to draw in the past and some of my paintings are still in Rome. Some of them are kitsch and I know it. Others relate to my divination. Things that I see happen in the years afterwards. One of my paintings, which is in a large gallery in Rome today, depicts the twin towers in New York destroyed. They were still there at that time but I had painted them in red and orange, in flames. The gallery keeper was surprised and asked why. I replied simply that I had seen them this way. After the big crash, he called me and was more than amazed. By the way, I had many other indications of that date but the picture remains as a document, even if it has no values as a work of art. It is interesting as an idea and vision, and its message has already become true.
Vida and visions
I cannot say it is divination. I dream of many things, the jewels and the songs tone by tone. There was a unique oboe solo in my song "Come," when I took part in the only edition of "Golden Orpheus" in which I participated and received some awards. It was a unique rococo-baroque solo. I played it on the piano but I could not hear the instrument to perform it. At the same time, the deadline in which I had to present the notes for orchestration was close. One night, I just heard a voice in my head telling me "oboe, oboe." I woke up frantically and realized that this instrument would play the solo. Quite by accident, I met a young musician - oboist the next day. The song was wonderful as late Vili Kazasyan and the orchestra confirmed. When I write good things, they go out straight from my hands. I did not even think about them. I just know that I need a pen or a piano. If I do not have any of them, I just record the idea with an old tape-recorder so as not to forget it.
I read tarot cards and more. I read ordinary cards for Mrs. Anna - Maria Tatoi and described the case in a story.
The parallel between the way of living in Greece and Bulgaria
There is no difference. The only thing I miss is the community in which I was in Bulgaria in the past. It is not there any longer. Very slowly, I began forming a very small circle, because the Greek music society does not allow new people easily. I withdrew from music a bit and decided that I will reach my goal through other channels. It is just clear that this will take a long time.
The other thing, which I started learning and I did not have before is to be patient. Greeks are too calm, I would rather say lazy. I am not annoyed lately but it made me nervous before that. The truth is that the climate is very important for this phenomenon. We are alike as nations, but we are different too. Greeks are by no means bad people. I do not mean insulting the Bulgarians, but we are a bit more hypocritical and more insidious. We seem to be just trying to do them down and history has proved that it cannot happen. And because we cannot do that, only bad things have been said about Greece and Greeks recently and especially in relation with the crisis. This is unworthy of my people, because I have not heard a single bad word about Bulgaria and Bulgarians from a Greek. These are my personal observations. Bulgarians want someone to help them, to appreciate them. The moment they see the back of a person, however, they start tainting and vilifying, which is a typical Bulgarian feature, and it is ineradicable.
Greece, the crisis and the euro
Greece should exit the euro. And I even think that not only Greece will exit it. I have nothing against the European Union basically but it is not of use for our small countries. It will not harm Greece if it returned to the drachma. It is just the opposite. It will thus regain its positions, wealth, dignity, production. Greece is a very rich country, which now looks like a strong caged beast. It only needs a mouse to bite the cord and open the cage. I do not know who will play the role of the mouse.
The crisis is global; it is not limited to Europe and Greece. First, it is a spiritual crisis and the natural effect was for it to grow into an economic crisis. Europe does not dictate that, however. The crisis will continue and will have other dimensions.
