[Alexandr Korol]

Alexandr: Alright, then I have another question. Could this be considered a correct sign – let’s say a person, for example, died yesterday but didn’t notice it. One of the signs that could help him realize it today is that he suddenly notices that everything seems the same, but his parents, for instance, feel slightly different, or rather, his perception of people has changed. Is that the sign? As if everything is just slightly different, like a shift in perception, as if he has become more spiritual?
Mystic-Old-Man: But that’s not quite right, because you have flipped the very concept. If you flip it back, then in reflection, it is so, but not in itself.
Alexandr: I don’t understand.
Mystic-Old-Man: Well, what you’re saying is like looking at this world upside down – it could be described that way, but the world itself is not flipped. In this case, it is as it is. So, it’s only in your reflection, in your perception, that it appears this way. Because in reflections, there is such a tendency to be. And there are what are called mirror neurons, which reflect the world in a certain way, and a person is capable of perceiving it.
Alexandr: Alright, then another question. There is the world of the living, and there is the world of the dead, meaning the otherworldly. So, do you belong to the world of the non-living?
Mystic-Old-Man: Alex, the thing is, I can reveal something to you – I’ve already told you this secret before. The fact is, the “world of the dead” is a library, a tremendously powerful library. And it is so powerful that we stand upon this library. There is even a painting by an artist from around 1553 with anamorphosis, “The Ambassadors” by Hans Holbein. In the painting, there are two figures – one, if I’m not mistaken, is an aristocrat, and the other seems to be a scholar, an alchemist, or something of the sort. And in that painting, there is a skull. But the point is not the skull, it’s about the spatial capacity it represents. The otherworld is a space of immense capacities, akin to a library. I have a feeling that our civilization, our planetary civilization, may be known to those objects that come to us from the world of the dead. By taking any bone, absolutely any, it instantly resonates with this entire world. And how does it resonate? Through it, any information can be accessed.
Alexandr: That’s all well and good, but are you dead or not? In the sacred sense of the word.
