[Alexandr Korol]

Mystic-Old-Man: It can.
Alexandr: So such a transformation is possible. Alright, then here’s the question: water, the element of water — what is its opposite as a reflection?
Mystic-Old-Man: It is another world.
Alexandr: Another world. Well, that’s clear. Alright, let’s take a different approach then. Let’s step away from that and try another angle. Look, there’s morning, day, evening, night — can four gemstones be matched to them?
Mystic-Old-Man: Yes, they can.
Alexandr: Alright, then here’s the question. It seems to me that for night, amethyst fits very well. Is that so?
Mystic-Old-Man: Yes, that can be.
Alexandr: Alright. And for the underworld, which color suits its stone more — black or blue?
Mystic-Old-Man: Blue.
Alexandr: And this blue stone fits... So we have the purple amethyst for night, and for evening fits blue?
Mystic-Old-Man: That’s possible.
Alexandr: Alright. Then here’s the question. For morning — what color is the stone? Red or green?
Mystic-Old-Man: Red.
Alexandr: Alright. Then what about day? What color stone suits day more? Green?
Mystic-Old-Man: Green and yellow.
Alexandr: Alright, then stepping away from that, I want to ask this question differently. If I want to tune into the social-material world and the rhythm of the material, the rhythm of summer, the rhythm of day, then which stone suits me better — emerald or ruby?
Mystic-Old-Man: Emerald.
Alexandr: Alright. And if I want to maximize all the qualities of a judge or lawyer or police officer who is in the underworld, and therefore that’s evening, then is the stone blue or still black?
Mystic-Old-Man: Still blue.
Alexandr: And does it matter if it’s precious, semi-precious, or are all blues different?
