that one can blow into them, and there will be sound. And he understands that it is no longer just a stick. And if the veil is opened even further for a person, then he realizes that it is not even just a flute to dance to the melodies you play, but that it is a ritual stick, that it creates a certain state within a person. And here it is the same. It turns out that the system wants to show us that we are not living 34 years — well, as I, for example, judge by my age. And that these past lives, when we died and were born — that this already took place now, within this life. And this was confirmed by the Mystic-Old-Man in previous conversations. It turns out that in this one life of mine, which to you and to me seems like a single life, in reality I have died and been born many times, died and been born again. But at the same time, as it is natural for me to see, to feel, and to remember myself, I see that I have a passport, a name, and some age. And so I truly look at myself in the mirror, and I see that I am growing older, aging. But even so, it is not for nothing that in all my diaries in childhood I wrote that it was as if I had lived several lives. That is, in the literal sense a person lives, and there is no need to cling to time — it is not important. Because this time, like what is written in your passport, is not connected with the real time, the time that you perceive psychologically. That is, you can see that by the calendar three years have passed, but in reality those three years you lived as if ten years — can you imagine? Or on the contrary, like a single month. Therefore, you should not cling now to time, but the essence is that it turns out that each of you has been, let us say, one certain person, figuratively speaking, from age 15 to 25, or maybe from 15 to 20, or from 15 to 30, or even from 20 to 25. That is, you were one certain person, where you had completely different values, a different mood, a different vision of the world, a different environment, different people. And then something happened to you — and this is almost impossible to notice if you do not keep a diary; if you do, of course, you can notice. But then something happened, and a completely different life began for you. And so if you look now into a diary, you can see that, for example, John Smith, just as a figurative example, from age 15 to 18 was one person, one of his lives. And then, from 18 to 23, he was a completely different person: a different environment, a different appearance, everything different, everything changed. And now, if that John Smith is remembered,
