people. And when I was writing the fourth volume, I focused on the fact that I encountered the underworld and saw that it had many levels and hierarchies. I identified three key ones: the lowest level – victims, then the second – where all the tempted, sinful ones reside, where everyone is tempted, and the third – the Spirit of Justice. And I saw it this way, and I had this association that maybe this is Cerberus and that perhaps I am going through the Labors of Heracles. I googled it and suddenly saw that this was his penultimate labor. And I realized that maybe the last labor is what awaits me now after I tell you about this otherworldly world that I am now describing. And I read on Wikipedia and searched on the internet that the last labor of Heracles was when he sought Atlas, the giant who holds the sky, or rather, holds the matrix, so to speak, the sphere of the Earth or the world – he holds it. And Heracles searches for this place for a long time in order to retrieve three apples from it. And I assumed that this is how all my “labors” will conclude if I draw an analogy with Heracles – that when I finish writing in the fifth volume everything about the world, about life after death, about heaven and hell, about purgatory, and ultimately arrive at the conclusion that all of this is Judgment Day, then after I tell everything, I must end it by returning again to the matrix that I have been deciphering and complete it.
And this is the final trial – to complete it fully.
This is interesting – what Christianity writes about what happens after death. “The Nicene Creed, as well as its English versions in modern usage, includes the phrase: “We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.” You see, the resurrection of the dead. That is, those people who die instantly will not notice it, but they will simply, the next day or even on that very day, feel happiness, lightness, and time as if it were all one continuous day. And when they begin to feel this way, it means they have died, but they continue to live, and this is the new era, and this is heaven. Further, “When the Sadducees asked Jesus Christ about the resurrection of the dead, he answered that the resurrected would be like the angels in heaven.” Because until we get there – you, we – there are others there before us, and for us, they truly are angels and deities, those who have gone through the same thing before our era. Those ancient Egyptians faced the same thing – everything perished, but they entered paradise, while others went to hell. And everything that was burned here –
