the four elements, with the four seasons, why is everything divided into groups, why is this matrix hidden everywhere, and why can no one explain it? And now, as I have begun deciphering all of this, I have hit a certain dead end – an enjoyable dead end, but a dead end nonetheless. I can quite possibly assume that someone else is now experiencing this same dead end in their mind, where something seems to fit, yet at the same time, it doesn’t. And now I want to share one of these dead ends that I am currently racking my brain over. But the process itself is so enjoyable that I just want to capture it right now. What is the point here? That is, I have two options, and I don’t know which one is correct. The first option is that morning is when the sun, as it were, emerges from the night; morning is the transition. Day is the peak, when the sun is fully out, shining brightly. Evening is again a transition, but now in reverse, when the sun moves into darkness, and then comes night. At first, this all takes on a very beautiful form when visualized: if we imagine that the vertical beam at the top represents day, and the bottom represents night – this is a concept I had already proposed earlier – then morning and evening would be the horizontal beam on the left and right. Figuratively speaking, this is the world of Earth. I assumed that since day and the sun are above, this must be the world of the sky. Below would then be the underworld, meaning night. And morning and evening are such transitions; they are precisely the material world, the earth, the world of the earth, where there is the God of the earth. And the same analogy applies to the seasons: we have spring, which is again a transition, an exit from winter; we have summer, then we enter winter again through autumn – again a transition. Once again, it turns out that if we imagine summer at the top – this is the god of the sky – and winter, completely opposite, at the bottom – this is the underworld – and on the left and right, we have spring and autumn, these transitions, this is the world of the earth, the God of the earth. It all seems beautiful. And then the question arises: where, then, is death? If these are the three worlds, everything seems clear, but where is death? Is it in the underworld? That is, somewhere beyond, or how? And of course, there is a second version. The first one seems to fit, but there is a second version. The second version is slightly different. It suggests that morning, day, and evening represent a period of time when we are awake – these three worlds, as if: the sky, the earth, and the underworld.
