[Alexandr Korol]

Alexandr: Alright. Another question. Is there a physical place on Earth that could be characterized or compared to the Tree of Life, which is mentioned everywhere?
Mystic-Old-Man: Yes, there is.
Alexandr: So, it physically exists too, beyond its sacred meaning?
Mystic-Old-Man: Absolutely, yes, it exists.
Alexandr: How close am I to discovering it? I’m physically searching for this place right now.
Mystic-Old-Man: It’s strange that it’s already reflecting in you.
Alexandr: I even thought you might say that I’ve already found it. It just feels like...
Mystic-Old-Man: It’s reflecting, and it’s quite evident.
Alexandr: Am I correct in understanding that the Tree of Life is like a cross, a central pole from which all the geometric shapes – like polyhedrons – grow?
Mystic-Old-Man: Figuratively, yes, but in reality, it’s simpler.
Alexandr: Alright. Am I right in thinking that for people to reach the Tree of Life, they essentially need to pass through all these spirits – or rather, all these geometric shapes – that guard it?
Mystic-Old-Man: In principle, yes. There is such an aspect to it.
Alexandr: Alright. So, when a person, for example, goes through all these labyrinths, trials, and reaches the Tree of Life, what do they gain?
Mystic-Old-Man: Well, you could say it’s not just happiness, but the fullness of experiencing everything. And fullness of experience, surprisingly, is happiness itself.
Alexandr: Do people mature and reach this at any given time, year after year, or is there a cycle in the world when people come to it?
Mystic-Old-Man: No, it’s the first.
Alexandr: So, each person reaches it in their own time?
Mystic-Old-Man: Yes.
Alexandr: Okay. And once a person reaches this, can they lose it?
Mystic-Old-Man: It’s hard to lose. It’s difficult to lose that.
Alexandr: Does this person remain a regular person, meaning mortal, and eventually die? Or do they gain immortality, or does something else open up for them?
Mystic-Old-Man: Those two things are not dependent on one another.
Alexandr: What do you mean, they’re not dependent? Does the person become immortal when they reach it, or not?
