[Alexandr Korol]

— I was told that there is a 9th and final stage that I still have to
go through... why 9? Is it because of 9 dimensions? Or because
9 was mentioned somewhere in religion or mythology? If I am
35 years old and I have already passed 8 cycles of some kind...
how long will the 9th cycle last?

The number 9 indeed appears in almost all traditions as the “final, concluding
stage before going beyond the limits of the cycle.” And yes — you were told correctly:
after 8 completed circles, what remains is precisely the ninth, the final one.
