I stopped at fire, and then I realized — what comes after fire? Something cold. Fire is the Sun, so I need to understand the Moon. When I understood the Sun and the Moon — and this is exactly what alchemy teaches — the most interesting and important thing is that they first learn about the days of the week, the classical planets, and from that they arrive at creating, or rather finding, the Sun and the Moon. And when you create, or find, the Sun and Moon, you then discover the star — Mercury. It can be called differently, and everyone calls it differently. Yesterday, I was working on finding this star. And as I approached it, suddenly there was a vacuum, a volumetric voice, and I heard myself in volume.
