A couple of days ago, I had a call with the Mystic-Old-Man, but in the end the conversation didn’t fully happen and wasn’t quite proper — he was being distracted, had things to do, a rehearsal, someone came to see him. I quickly asked him whether I had correctly identified the seventh element, if it was the stellated octahedron, if it was a triangle within a triangle. He said it was partly correct, but not entirely, though partly. I thought, alright, and took note of it. Then he also hinted to me that there are different... I said to him:

— So how many more elements do I still need to figure out? Is there an eighth after the seventh? Or is the eighth when all seven are combined? Or is there a ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth?

Because Big Alexander had hinted to me that I would keep searching for something further. And he said that these are simply different systems, but the essence is the same. And he kept saying “systemness, systemness,” always speaking so complicatedly, something about “systemness.” And I said to him, so is this element this or that, and he says, “this is just a different systemness.” And I kept listening to him, he kept mumbling it all, he was just being distracted. I said:

— Alright, let’s put it differently. Do I understand correctly that, for example, now I’ve grasped the four elements — that’s like the world of humans, meaning it’s one system. And now I’m grasping what seems like the same thing, but it’s just a different world, a different system, a system of gods?
— Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m telling you. And this will go on like that endlessly. — But wait, there must be some kind of end to it? I must find those boundaries of beginning and end, after all, they must exist. Sure, it multiplies further, but I still haven’t identified them somehow.
