“Dear Anna! I never felt so good before,” I replied her. “The world of love and peace is around me, my mind is abnormally clear. I can remember everything I’ve ever read, written, or learned down to every last detail. My past lives seem to be something united, like it is one long life. But my past events superimpose on one another, so I cannot clearly name any particular historical period. I can only feel instinctively, that I used to be a warrior, a plowman, a monk, and a student.”
“Alex, my friend,” said Anna with smile. “Your perception of the past carnations is typical for all human beings, which experienced physical death. It is true; you face some issues with naming of the particular eras of your past lives, since in those days there were no calendars and timescales, as can be found in encyclopedias. This is why there are special libraries to register summarized humans’ lives within this reality, and this will also characterize their personal ‘selves’. Our destination now is exactly one of these libraries. But first, I will show you the city and human beings’ lives in the here and now.”
While talking away the time, we entered the city, buried in verdure. Either side of rather narrow street was occupied by sidewalks, paved with slabs, as it seemed to me. Some umbrageous trees resembling our cypresses were ranged along the road, covered with asphalt and divided by a white middle strip. There was scrupulous neatness in every surrounding; not a fleck of dust could strike the eye. Behind the sidewalk I could see the lawns of green grass with neatly trimmed bushes and flowered beds. The shades of trees revealed the contours of villas with huge doors and windows. Butterflies of fantastic marking skittered around. The whole street panorama’s rest and coziness were filled up with the babble of birds. In the meantime, Anna and I approached a bus stop, marked with the stop sign. It was a pillar with the multicolored image of a bus. There was a woman and her child standing at the stop, and a man, who was reading a newspaper. It’s been a long time since I got rid of the feeling of being in the ‘afterworld’. After all that I’ve seen there, it seemed to me I was in some south resort town.
Disturbing thoughts were back in my mind. How did I get here? And how shall I get out of here? Am I in Greece, or in Spain? I am short of money, maybe I need to borrow some from Anna. I was gloomily thinking.
“Alex, my friend,” said Anna and touched my shoulder. “Don’t worry about trifles. This city and its area panorama are the result of the stable mental images of a collective being. It was exactly this collective being, which took care about the natural layout of city environment (as well as the country imaging). This is the place for those people, who are used for this type of environment within their physical plane of life of the particular historical period. Working and education are of fully creative nature, which pushes spiritual development of personal ‘self’. Here people line up with each other according to their professional skills, while their spiritual commonality improves their self-development. Children will remain children until they are aware of their grown-up personalities, based on their past lives experience. Visiting kindergartens and going to schools improve their progress. Educational process is arranged in order to make individual ‘self’ of a child gradually cognize his or her personal ‘self’. For example, if a parent and his or her child die under tragic circumstances, they both get in the reality, which will correspond to parent’s spiritual development. Parents’ love may increase vibrational frequency of their children. Only after children cognize their individual ‘selves’, their egoities (souls) will return to that reality, which corresponds to spiritual evolution of their past carnations. This is due to the fact that a human being can achieve a minimum result of its spiritual development once it is 21 earthyears old. But nevertheless, even in case parents and their children are on different levels of spiritual evolution, they may still meet in real life. Less spiritually developed being may wish to meet more developed being. In this case, they will meet within the habitat of the less developed being, and this will stimulate it spiritual development within its own environment. This is why there aren’t so many children in this reality. The process of their grown-up personalities’ establishment, or, rather, cognition, will be quicker in comparison with the one within the physical plane of life. The only stumbling stone to slow down this process is the unfailing love of parents. It will keep children with their parents in case they experience physical death together. The process of children’s cognition of their grown-up personalities within this reality is much like the development process in the physical plane of life. Same kindergartens, same schools. When creating this reality, a collective being is first of all based on the principle of continuation of spiritual evolution of each human being under most favorable conditions. If a person is used to read newspapers every morning, he or she will be reading them also in this reality; if a mother is used to go to work by bus and take her child to kindergarten, she will be doing the same in this reality, and so on. Thus, mental images of each personality fill up and enrich the common panorama of a reality with particular actions (information). I mean, this is the first stage of simulating real physical life, which is hardly distinguishable from the reality of the carnal plane of life. Since there is no time in this reality, human beings create their own time frames: going to work, going to educational institutions, and so on. They are based on their carnal living experience. However, their time frames will be gradually extended, as their egoities cognize the new reality they are put in. Then there comes a point, when a being is fully aware of its new reality, and its time frames will no longer exist in its post-mortal experience. Then that being will be taken by a collective being for a new reincarnation. Notably, that this process makes the whole creation freeze for a while, as everyone feels the great power of collective being’s love.”
I saw a bus drawing up at the stop. It was a modern bus, and its whole surface was reflecting light like a huge mirror. I could not clearly see the driver due to the tinted front windows. The bus door was opened, and following the woman, her child, and the man, Anna and I climbed its convenient steps and entered the passenger compartment. We chose a double seat and the bus inched forward. I was examining the interior, which made my mind admire the genius of science. Nice decorative finishing, convenient seats, and even easy listening were at our service. Two women were sitting behind us and discussing some medical subject. I looked around and feasted my eyes with the city view. Fancy villas were passing on either side. They all were buried in verdure and flowers. Little squares with fountains and fantastic engoldened sculptures came more thickly as we got closer to the city center. There weren’t too many passerby people, but their exalted faces were radiating joy and happiness. Here is a young couple holding their hands and sitting near to the fountain. Look, they are slushing over each other! What a crystal-clear water! There is a young man of an intelligent appearance. He is quickly writing something in his notebook and biting his pencil from time to time. Indeed, life is in full swing here! That was what I was thinking about.
Suddenly, the bus brought us to a vast square, where I could clearly see the frustum of pyramid, which was shining like a diamond. It was joined with a wide marble staircase. The either side of the staircase was decorated with silver figures of people, representing different historic periods. There was a warrior, a woman with her child, a plowman, a scientist, an astronaut, and many other sculptural symbols, reflecting realities of the human race’s evolution.
