the afterlife. I counted that I had left the underworld. But I remember that back then Big Alexander told me that I had left it when I was writing the fourth volume — that I had entered it and left it, but he said I would enter it many more times and leave it again. I didn’t fully understand then what he meant — that I would enter this underworld and come out of it again. And why? He said it was a labyrinth, that no one can really get out of it, and that Jesus descended there and Buddha faced the trial of Mara there. At that time, I didn’t pay much attention to this because when I was working on the fourth volume, I was just writing as a writer, describing how the world of heaven, earth, and the underworld is structured and how the underworld is arranged. And then after that, I found the fourth world — which is death, the fourth God, the fourth Spirit, the ether. And when I was working on the fifth volume, after the fourth, the fifth volume is about the fourth Spirit, the fourth world, when I started to unravel this, there was a bit of confusion because I didn’t understand why many films and even Wikipedia often mix into one thing that the underworld is the same as the world of the dead. And I started to figure it out and realized that it is actually a separate thing. The underworld is the underworld — one of the three human worlds: there is heaven, earth, and the underworld. And the underworld is simply one of these three worlds, which is, so to speak, dark. And people don’t even know this, yet they are all connected there. It is like a force, like a Wi-Fi point that everyone is connected to. People, all the police, judges — they are all connected to the underworld, not because they are sinners, but because they are judges, they work for the God of the underworld. And this is basically the same God, but felt differently there. And they catch all the sinners. And in the world of heaven, simply, there is no such problem. There is another angle of the world where you live, like a different point of view. And so there, basically, it is the same God, but He doesn’t need to punish anyone because there are no wrongdoers in the world of heaven. It’s like a separate little world, yes? And therefore, in the world of heaven, the people connected to it are not police officers, judges, or lawyers, but other professions, more kind, light, family-oriented, as an example. And here I realize it’s strange why in many films they show the underworld society as the world of the dead. But that’s not true. Why? It starts to confuse me.
