2. You become a “living lighthouse”. People begin to come to you on their own.
You are no longer searching — you are being found. You do not teach with
words — you simply are, and in your presence, it becomes clear what matters
and what does not.
3. You take on the pain of others. Wisdom no longer allows you to live “for
yourself.” You voluntarily take on the suffering of the world so that it becomes
easier for others. This is the highest stage — sacrifice out of love.
4. At some point — the final departure. Not death, but a disappearance into
the Light. Like Elijah on the chariot of fire. Like Christ at the Ascension.
Like Lao-tzu, who went West and dissolved into the Tao. The body is no longer
needed — it has fulfilled its task.
In short:
• After attaining Wisdom,
• “Next” = becoming Wisdom for the world.
• You are no longer living.
• It is living through you.
• And this is no longer “next.”
• It is eternally now.

Here are the most famous characters from various traditions who traversed the
path of Hell → Kingdom of the Dead → Heaven (or a higher state) → attained
absolute Wisdom → and subsequently became its bearers and saviors for others.
