[Alexandr Korol]

“In the Torah. According to the Book of Genesis, Eden was located ‘in the east.’”
Which again is symbolic, that always alchemists, all sorts of the initiated in their engravings always depicted a ladder to the east. Big Alexander always said that the philosopher’s stone is in the east. And here again for some reason the east. “A river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it was divided into four rivers. The name of the first is Pishon: it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; and the gold of that land is good; there is bdellium and onyx stone. The name of the second river is Gihon: it flows around the whole land of Cush. The name of the third river is Hiddekel (the Tigris): it flows east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates — Gen. 2:10–14.” You know, when I now read in Wikipedia this description, I suddenly have the association that I want to call everything as if still this world of the sky, it is as if the center, and the four elements are to the four sides of the world. Figuratively speaking, these are the four worlds, and this is as if not the fourth, but something fifth, this world of the sky. Well, this is just a supposition. Or still the fifth is something else. Well, you see, here they even describe that from the river of Eden goes four branches. And for me it is as if, you understand, this unfolding of the matrix is going, as if into four worlds. But this will still be polished, because on the one hand, the world of the sky falls into the four, that is, into one of the four worlds: sky, earth, underworld, and afterlife, that is, four worlds. How then can the sky be the fifth, the central one? Well, then perhaps it is already simply another world of the sky, but after this four. There is something above them, and this is, let us say, the next sky — as I described earlier, as if it were fire, the fifth element, consisting of these four, the Sun. Perhaps then it is so. But it also in another matrix, on a larger scale, is one of four elements again of a greater element. Perhaps it is all like this. To this we will sooner or later come for sure. So, what is next? “The people dwelling in it, Adam and Eve, were, according to traditional belief, immortal (at the same time Gen. 3:22 indicates that immortality was available to them in the form of the Tree of Life) and sinless, however, tempted by the serpent, they ate the fruit from the forbidden Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, committing the Fall, as a result of which they lost access to the Tree of Life and gained suffering. God closed Paradise for people, casting them out and placing a Cherub with a flaming sword to guard it (Gen. 3:24).”
