But again, this is literally how it is, that it must not be taken literally, but as sacred language. But why the east? What is the east? That is, it turns out, one of the four worlds? Heaven, earth, underworld or afterlife. Why even in the prophecy, that someone will come, some white king also from the east or will appear in the east? After all, this is not in the literal sense, but it is precisely the corner of space, that is, in which world he will appear out of the four.

But then there is something curious that I record, that on June 8, 2025, very recently there was the holiday — the Day of the Holy Trinity. And I immediately experienced such epiphany and shock, and I understood: “Ah, so this is when the Holy Spirit descended upon everyone.” And I think: “Well, not upon Jesus, he had died and resurrected, so upon all the others.

I suddenly realize that I was in the underworld, very recently, I came to know what death is, that is, I was dead, I was tested by Mara. And suddenly now this dawn comes for me, the morning after all these twilights, and I understand that everything comes together, that also Jesus was killed, was on Saturday in the underworld, then he resurrected the dead from there, came out together with them — this is the resurrection. And this is exactly what is celebrated, but so that people would not forget until a certain main moment, that is why they remember, recall, and mark it as a holiday. And it turns out that after Easter, which was precisely around the tenth, approximately on the tenth days, as now, only in April, and I then recorded that it was approximately from those dates: the tenth, the eleventh, the twelfth, although the dates are not important at all, as you
