is all sacred language. Also, if you start doing things wrong in heaven, you fall down, that is, you end up on earth, and if you get even worse, you end up in the underworld. And there, each realm has its own rules. Three different systems. But all these three different systems are one large system, just divided into three. This is its, so to speak, material manifestation. Then I began to reflect that there is spirit, heart, mind, and instinct. It turns out that the heart is when you are sensitive. It’s feeling, being a creative person – this is spirituality. The material aspect is the mind, where you live by rules, controlling everything, with discipline. You are friends with time and space. You don’t do things without thinking. Everything is organized. And there is the realm of instincts – this is the social world, this is sin. It’s when a person cannot control themselves, when they have animal instincts. Like animals, who cannot control themselves when given food, they might eat everything and die if given a huge sack. They also cannot control their lust. These are animal instincts. And it seems like you go through the mind, then the heart, and then the Spirit. And Spirit is possibly the most important of these three. Or it might be the next, fourth stage. Then I started to think that maybe there are man and woman – this is just a concept, as opposites, and the third is like a shadow, like a reflection, as if a bad version. Imagine that the mother is matter, the man, the father – the heart. And the third is like instincts, it’s the same but dark, the opposite side. That’s another way I started thinking. Then I continued to reflect on ancient mythology, where Zeus is the sky, Poseidon is the sea (which I took as Earth), and Hades is the underworld. And they have a main god – Kronos. Kronos seems to be absent here, but he manifests as three entities or figures. Like Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, like three hands. Why do I say three hands? When I reviewed all the materials, I saw that in the case of Vishnu, “three hands are also considered symbols of three fundamental functions or tendencies. Creation – Srishti. Preservation – Stiti. Dissolution and liberation – Laya. The fourth hand – is the concept of individual existence, Ahankara, from which all individual forms arise.” So, you see, there seems to be a fourth, but from it, these three arise. It turns out, after all, there are three gods, not four. The fourth can be placed next to them, but it cannot be, because the fourth god is like the next stage. I am now at the penultimate stage. The penultimate stage is the three gods. When you understand this, you move to the next, final stage, where there is the main God, who can then manifest again in these three gods on the lower stage. Then I just take note that a year ago, I came across the fact that in the Orthodox religion, the
