mythological narratives, descriptions of all sky gods from different time periods, different sacred texts, and different mythological stories. I study how they are described, what common traits they have, how they were depicted, what they represented — how it all worked. Then, I do the same for the underworld and the earthly realm, researching what the god of the earth was, what it meant, and how it was understood. And I start thinking — perhaps, of course, there are countless shades of emotions, in me and in you, in all of us — but they all still fall into three main groups: sky, earth, and underworld. I realize that if I take a line and draw it from 2006 to 2024, marking each year with small ticks, and then add four lines, I can circle the years — those between 2006 and 2024 — when I was most immersed in the sky realm. This helps me at least begin to correctly understand what is meant by “the God of the sky” and “the world of the sky.” What exactly is it? I begin to realize that perhaps the sky world is something deeply spiritual, creative, and magical. I start recalling all the periods in my life when I was like that and begin to see that, yes, I truly was in that state. Memories and associations emerge — what kind of people existed in this sky world, what my mood was like, what I enjoyed listening to, eating, watching, doing in general — what values, goals, and perspectives I had when I was connected to this sky world, even if only temporarily. And I realize that there are people who always live there and others who occasionally enter it. I understand that, yes, this sky world exists, but people do not know about it. Everyone lives on planet Earth, but no one realizes that some are always connected to the earth world, some to the sky world, and some to the underworld. Yet, they remain unaware of this division. In reality, there are three main Wi-Fi access points, three connections to which all people are linked, as if three great spirits exist. And spirits are nothing more than systems in which people live. The Spirit is made up of people, and people, in turn, form the Spirit — they are always connected to something; they cannot be disconnected from everything. And so, there are people who are connected to the Spirit of the Sky, and because of this, they have an entirely different perception of life, of themselves — completely different thoughts, values, desires — everything. This sky world exists. We may walk past these people on the street, even though we ourselves are connected to a different Wi-Fi point, but they are there, just not in our focus, and we are not in theirs. It’s as if they exist in a parallel, invisible reality — physically, they
