elements of God’s manifestation — that is spirituality — and it serves only as protection from unclean forces. That’s all. So if we further analyze what black sapphire is responsible for, it is protection from people in the underworld — from all fraudsters, traitors — that’s protection, black sapphire. Ruby suppresses in you the instinct of sharp reaction, aggression, all that darkness that may be present — not only darkness but also material things, the cold, consumerist attitude toward everything. So that you don’t have any of that, so your heart somehow thaws — that is ruby. King Tut, the ring I wear, represents, imagine, the fourth element — that is, spirit, the otherworldly. And see, just because it’s not even a geometric figure, not even a stone, it already carries that meaning. So even items without stones, which you might find in any shop — whether they depict a cross, an ankh, or something else — they still really work, even without stones. The question is which of the four worlds it represents. A pendant can always be of the heart or material — that is, logic, thinking, responsibility — that’s good, it makes the mind work. Or the underworld — that is again protection; in the world of the Gods, it’s not sins, but protection from all such people. And the fourth is spiritual — that is, the very otherworldly spirituality itself; that is the fourth element.
And now moving on. It turns out there is a whole bunch of different stones, and they are further divided into groups. For example, we took the red ruby — that is the sky, spirituality. The black stone, sapphire — that is the underworld. And further, under the world of the sky, that is the heart, and under the underworld, there are many other stones that can carry one task or the other. That’s how it is. And most interestingly, the colors can vary. The underworld can be black, imagine, but also blue. So if I wear lapis lazuli blue, or blue sapphire, or black sapphire, but if it is made in the right way — depending on what is depicted or in what piece it is — then that is the underworld. If I wear a ruby, and since there are only four worlds, then stones like carnelian — a reddish stone that monks, Buddhists, and Tibetans love — also relate to it, and red garnet relates to it too. Of course, they all differ from each other in some ways, but still, you see, they belong to the world of the heart, the world of the sky. But what else is different? What does everyone now need to learn? What is the paradox? In all these
