[Alexandr Korol]

Then, at various moments, different spirits of these worlds began to manifest within me. This was my progression, climbing these steps to ultimately ascend the ladder of the heavenly realm, the ladder of the underworld, and the ladder of the earthly kingdom. It was as if everything within me, like a lens, reflected within my soul, and the Spirit – this system, this consciousness – entered me and reflected back out. It’s as though I became directly connected to the source, and it manifested within me. This is the reason why Hindu gods are often depicted this way, with multiple heads and faces. I now focus on this because Hinduism explains these concepts very well. Through the fourth volume, a person who becomes interested in the sacred Hindu scriptures will be amazed because I now provide a very good interpretation of all this. These gods, depicted with four heads or faces, represent exactly what I am describing – these four spirits. In principle, I could be depicted the same way. When intelligence is needed, I connect directly to the source of intelligence, just as scientists have done throughout history. When love and creativity are needed, I connect to another source, and it manifests within me. These gods – these intelligences, these consciousnesses – manifest and synchronize within me now.
And the path to the Tree of Life lies in the understanding of all these four worlds, passing through all these spirits, and only then do you reach the Tree of Life. What’s interesting is that the Mystic-Old-Man confirmed that this Tree of Life physically exists, though it’s not an actual tree as you might think, but rather a place. He also confirmed something I had been thinking about recently, a clearer realization: it’s not just during a peak period that people come to this Tree of Life. On a sacred level, this is simply a certain wisdom and freedom, a cleansing from karma, so to speak. That is, nothing karmic – you all like the word karma – affects you anymore. It’s as if you are outside the system, outside this labyrinth, this purgatory that constantly purifies and develops people’s souls. It’s as if you’ve become clean, having passed through all these grinders. I also realized that any person can reach this every day, not just at some collective moment, but individually, it can happen daily. And the Mystic-Old-Man confirmed this. I hope that this explanation has strengthened the faith and respect of religious people even more. Now you understand that when a child is born in Christianity, in the Orthodox Church, for example – as I am an Orthodox person – they are blessed and a cross is placed on them to connect them to the Tree of Life. As the Mystic-Old-Man expressed it, this is done “for happiness”, so that their life is less tumultuous, keeping them on those vibrations where the serpent does not tempt them. Because if the serpent does tempt them, they will fall from this
