— I’m studying all these seven colors, seven planets. And as I understand it, there are five elements. One of them, the fifth, is ether. Then the sixth is the Sun, figuratively speaking, the seventh is the Moon — though the order doesn’t really matter. So, seven elements. And the eighth — that’s God, who, by using the plus and minus, the poles, influences these five elements? — Yeah, you’re thinking in the right direction.

He doesn’t say “yes,” but confirms that I’m reasoning correctly. I say:

— Okay, got it. There are seven days in a week — same thing. So we have Monday, Sunday — here you go, that’s the sixth and seventh element, and the other five are the five elements.
— Right.
— Okay. And the eighth — that’s the same one who rules it all. So, God is above the Sun and the Moon, He controls them, or more precisely, influences the elements through them.
— Right. God is the ether, the circle.
— Wait a second. Ether isn’t the eighth element. Ether is actually the fifth. Or rather, I’d even say the fourth of the five. So ether — that’s night, winter, death. Why is that God?
— Hold on, ether has several different properties. That’s how you’ve figured it out in the world of people, but now we’re talking about the world of gods, the world of God.
— Okay, fine, let’s put it differently. Am I correct in understanding that there are these elements in the human world, and then the same elements, but in the divine world?
— Yes. And in the human world, for example, ether is one kind. But there’s also a different ether entirely — that’s precisely God, and the fact that the sphere — the orb — is Him. You need to find all these spheres, these circles; they’re everywhere. It’s not for nothing that there’s always that golden orb under the cross, not for nothing that it’s always being held in the hand. The orb is the ultimate, the main thing.
— Okay. Then what are the Sun and the Moon? How do they look, if I’ve already found all the correct polyhedrons — those represent the different elements — then what are the Sun and the Moon?
