somehow align with the four elements, the four seasons of the year, and the four cycles of the day?
Mystic-Old-Man: It does align.
Alexandr: Then another point. There is the cube-matrix and this primary eighth corner. And if I am in this eighth corner, then I have three corners and four more. So, am I right in understanding that these three corners represent the four seasons? Meaning there are three, and I am the fourth, and then the other four corners – since a cube has eight – are like sleep, another variation. Like sleep.
Mystic-Old-Man: No, but it could be that way.
Alexandr: I was just thinking that when I was deciphering these worlds, I saw it as if there was the sky, the earth, and then the underworld – as if it were the same sky and earth, but inverted. Is that correct?
Mystic-Old-Man: Not quite.
Alexandr: Alright. Suppose there is the sky, the earth, and the underworld. And death – this world, this death – is it the same as these three worlds, just from the other side, or is it a completely separate fourth world?
Mystic-Old-Man: No, it’s not separate. It is the connecting component.
Alexandr: Okay. If these four worlds correspond to the four seasons and four elements, we know there are four primary elements, and they are always associated with four geometric figures. But here’s the paradox – of these four worlds, one of them, the fourth, is death, so it doesn’t quite align, because fire, water, earth, and air... it turns out that...
Mystic-Old-Man: No, no. The fourth is accumulative... It’s an accumulative niche. Accumulative. It is everywhere and nowhere.
Alexandr: Alright. Here’s something to consider. There is the cube, the tetrahedron, the octahedron, and the icosahedron – are these the four elements, the four spirits?
Mystic-Old-Man: No, they can manifest within these structures.
Alexandr: But do I need to determine how each of these Spirits appears as a geometric figure in order to ultimately assemble the Sun from them?
Mystic-Old-Man: The paradox is that they are interdependent, interpenetrating. They are interdependent, as I said.
Alexandr: But does one generate another?
Mystic-Old-Man: No, they penetrate one another.
