water, earth, and air. It seemed like I had figured it all out, and then I suddenly came across the concept of a separate Spirit of Death, which the Mystic-Old- Man emphasizes. And how does he do this? I called him while I was in Spirit, and the Spirit speaks to me through him, giving me hints about where to direct my attention next. I couldn’t have imagined that I would have a fifth volume, entirely separate, dedicated to the topic of what happens after death. At first, I hit a dead end. What is this? Is it the underworld again, the one I just explored in the fourth volume? Or is it something additional? Could it be that beyond the Spirit of Justice, there is another Spirit, like the Spirit of Death? I begin to understand that this is an entirely separate topic. I note it down to discuss with Big Alexander or the Mystic-Old-Man to clarify it further. Then I realize that there are many gods across different mythologies and sacred texts, and it creates confusion. The boundaries become blurred – who is the God of War, who is the God of Destruction, who is the God of Justice, who is the God of Chaos, and who is the God of the underworld and the afterlife? What’s the difference between them? I came to the realization that for most people, all of this seems like it’s all lumped together, but in reality, there’s a significant difference. To bring order to it, I need to establish clear boundaries. While reading about various Egyptian gods, I had a moment of enlightenment – a realization that Egyptian mythology spanned different periods, and if you compare this to Christianity, Jesus Christ and His first coming, he was considered God, but He spoke about God. See how many gods there are? Then everyone awaits the second God, the second coming. And beyond this, the second coming will happen, but there is also some other God. If you read about each of them, you might think there are so many, and they all seem to be responsible for the same things. So, who among them is the main one? And as I began drawing analogies, I noticed that the same thing happens in ancient Egyptian mythology. There are gods responsible for the world of humans in which we live: the sky, the earth, and the underworld. And there are gods responsible for life after death, which is something entirely different – on the other side – and it’s separate. I realized that, in earlier times, one God was responsible for this, and later, another took on the role, because the events belonged to different eras, just as in Christianity and in ancient Egyptian mythology. At first, there was one who was the guide to the worlds of the dead, and then another, because these were different periods of time.
