when I couldn’t endure things, when I reacted. But the point is, something would turn on in me — of course, I never did anything criminal or wrong, everything was within justice — but I would become indignant. If someone lied or cheated, I felt they should be punished. That they should be arrested, metaphorically speaking. That if someone lies to your face, they are a bad person and should be fired. That was my stance — to cut to the bone, to tell everyone to their face: “You’re a criminal, you’re scum, you committed a crime, you’re a bad person — people like you either end up in jail or in the graveyard.” That’s how I wanted to speak. And then, all those people would turn around and say that I was the one who was mean — even though they were the ones who committed the offense. And what do they want? For me to give them money? I don’t get it. Or to just give them my whole life and let them use me? Am I supposed to let them take advantage of me that much? Of course not. Naturally, I said, “I can fight back if you’re going to be that shameless.” And they all were outraged: “Wow, Alexander has anger,” but it was some kind of divine anger. But! You see, there are three main worlds: the sky, the earth, and the underworld, which for me were more or less visible compared to the fourth. Although the fourth one — the afterlife — was also present, I simply called it spirituality. And yes, it turns out I couldn’t always control it; everything followed its own nature. But like all people, I cyclically became different. Sometimes I was full of love and forgave everyone, couldn’t even argue, and would just quietly walk away — that is the morning. Other times, I could speak without emotion, without anger or aggression — just very modestly, kindly, and diplomatically, giving the person a chance, talking things through — that is the second world, the material one, the day. When the Spirit of Justice was present, I could speak harshly and say things like, “All sinful people must burn in hell, and if you’ve committed a crime, you have tainted not only yourself but your entire lineage — not just in the future but even in the past, because the past exists now, and it may be changing due to your actions. Your entire ancestral line — great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers — might now have their destinies altered. Even if you think they’ve already passed away, they are still there in the past, and this will echo back through your lineage. Do you understand me?” That’s the kind of thing I could say. But again, I was exploring the Spirit of Justice. And it turns out that this is all a school, that these are all tests. And it turns out that
