If I were to add a comment about my conversation with the Mystic-Old-Man, it would probably be about the part I decided to ignore – I didn’t even ask him about it, just figured that if it’s not happening anytime soon, then so be it. But in our last conversation, he mentioned something. I asked him, “What will it even give me if I decipher this matrix?” And he said something about some kind of return, something to do with time, something about this being called the Tree of Youth, where the three apples are. And he said that in theory, it’s possible, but physically, it’s impossible. You know what he actually meant? He was talking about death again – I’m a hundred percent sure of it. I just decided not to bring up that topic, but he was clearly emphasizing that this whole idea of reversing time, turning time back, or whatever he meant, wouldn’t work because I am in a body. Because I am alive. But if I were to die, then it would work. I’m sure he would have said that. I just chose not to dig into that topic further or question him about it. Just wanted to add this note about my last Conversation with the Mystic-Old-Man.
You see, it turns out that the topic of death is somehow unavoidable. I hope you all understand that this is not my desire, not my interest, not my personal curiosity – but as I follow this path of “Alternative History”, I pass through different stages. And as I understand it, the fifth volume is now taking shape in such a format: I began with the topic of death – thirty percent is about death and the underworld, but in a beyond-worldly sense. Now, I probably need to dedicate the next thirty percent to everyday life, or rather, to reflecting on the third, fourth, and maybe even the fifth volume – thinking through everything logically, meaning I have now descended to the earthly level. I am not in the Spirit – or rather, I am in the Spirit, but in a different way. And here, it seems, I need to logically, mathematically, intellectually share my reflections in the fifth volume – just as I did in the third volume. That volume also started with me answering readers’ questions – there were a lot of them. And now, it feels like the same thing. I have published the third and fourth volumes, and now I need to give reflections on them after having processed everything intellectually. That will be the second stage of my fifth volume – covering the next thirty percent, from 30 to 60. And then, from 60 to 100, will be the final stage of the fifth volume, where I will likely return to the Spirit again, and once more, it will all be connected to the theme of death, just as the Mystic-Old-Man has confirmed.
