happen to whom, depending on their level of development, where each will go, what each will reach. Right now, I don’t believe I’m in a white garment — I haven’t reached that level of spirituality yet. I consider myself to still be in colored clothing, but with a halo. It’s like the Spirit can enter a person and also leave, yes. But when it enters permanently — then comes the white garment. But what’s interesting there? What’s interesting is that you can see a hierarchy — where the Son of God is located, and above Him is God Himself. All those circles shown there represent the different worlds where people live — they’re varied. These worlds are simply painted in different colors to indicate their difference. And the distribution is shown in a very interesting way, because it’s made clear that not everyone is ascending upward. There are people clearly in trouble, others who are shown with the Mother of God, which is also curious. It’s essentially a depiction of who goes where. That is probably the essence of the Last Judgment — if you read about it online, it says this is the time when people will be judged: who will go to heaven and who will go to hell. And that’s exactly what’s being illustrated there. Of course, a lot of sacred symbolism is used, and until you understand what is meant by it, you won’t grasp the picture. Sure, you’ll see that the bottom is frightening, the top holds divinity, and one should strive upward. That’s pretty much all that people generally understand. And yes, you know what that glowing thing above the head is called — a halo. That’s a small piece of information that is universally understood. But what is actually meant by it? How is all of this truly structured — where do we live? Why are there hierarchies? Why is the clothing sometimes colored, sometimes not? Why are there halos or not? Why is there one small figure sitting there? Why are there people with books next to the Son of God? And then, farther up, there’s an elder sitting — so is that the same person or someone else? Who is he? Where is he located? Who are the people around him? And is that scene depicting movement, or is it all already permanently assigned that way? If it has already been assigned, then we can see that there are people who will definitely reach the main God. And there are people who will reach the Son of God. And there are people who haven’t even reached Him yet. But that’s if it’s already predetermined. Or maybe it’s still some kind of ongoing process, where everyone still has to make their way upward. But again, this icon isn’t a call to action. On the contrary, it was made for that day, for that hour when
