that kind of world. Then comes the world of the underworld. The underworld is already crime, action movies, and music about justice and injustice, which reigns in the underworld – this is autumn, this is evening, this is the underworld. And then again, after the underworld, after autumn, after evening, comes night. That is, a person again retreats into something beyond, into spirituality, into that kind of “corridor.” And it really is that “corridor.”
Well, alright, four worlds. Essentially, this is the Sun. And imagine that we are, for example, like the Sun – it is located at the center of a cube, figuratively speaking, yes? Imagine that it is at the center of a cube. Of course, it is not actually at the center, but just to make it easier for people to picture, let’s say it is at the center of a cube. Now imagine that in this cube, it has four sides, like the four cardinal directions. And you stand, looking at the Sun from one side, and you see morning. You look from another side, and you see... Of course, I’m describing it incorrectly. It would be more accurate if you were standing still, doing nothing, and the Sun was moving. Well, in principle, you just need to look out the window and see what happens. But the point is that this mood of the Sun, what we see and don’t see, that’s all it is. But it’s still just the Sun. And the most interesting thing is that the Mystic-Old-Man has tried many times to hint at this to me, and I did understand it, but he gave it such significance, as if it were something supernatural. He once said – this was in the first and second volumes – he once said, “You know that someone is always playing cards? 24 hours a day, there is always someone playing cards, so they always exist.” Not the best example. I can give a simpler one. Let’s put it this way: twilight happens, let’s say, in some country at six in the evening until six-thirty, and also in the morning. Twilight happens, let’s say, at 6:30, the Sun rises, but at 6:00 it is already starting – it’s not there yet, but it’s already getting light, figuratively speaking. So, twilight happens at sunrise and sunset. But do you understand that this twilight always exists? That when you have twilight, those half an hour that you experience, they disappear for you, but in another city, they appear, then somewhere else again, and they are always present somewhere – just as sunrise is always happening somewhere. That’s what he meant. That’s clear. Well, alright. And next, it turns out... I’m working on the fifth volume now. Naturally, as I reread it, I make certain discoveries, and when I finish reading it to the end, I will be able to complete this fifth volume. But I have another question
