— … Kiss me!
— What? You're a ghost to me!
— Mentally... I'll feel it!
… Well, well...
Voices whispered to me from all sides:
— Why would you hang out with him? He's a demon!
— A demon? He thinks he's human!
— Don't trust him! He'll devour your soul after death!
… What a nightmare! Is he even possible to devour a soul? It's the energy of the heart—a warm, bright cloud visible in 4D. What's the point of eating it? It'll still return to consciousness, which continues to exist in the mental layer.
— Why do demons eat souls?
— They enjoy it... It's a ritual of dismantling a person after death by the creatures of Hell...
… It must be a terrifying sight... and this is what awaits me?
— Why do they do this to people?
— So that the layers of the underworld don't get overcrowded with useless habitants. There are too many people! Where to put them?
— Who do the demons allow to live in Hell then?
— Only beautiful astral shells! You need to take care of your body... do your hair, wear nice clothes...
... there you go again! I don't want to, and the last thing I want is to end up in that layer of existence, hugging demons!
— Then don't be friends with him and his band!
— And who are you?
— People... we were rich in life, we were able to make fortunes, implement various ideas for the benefit of society, so we were allowed to live in our homes on the surface of the Earth.
— So... because you had money, your posthumous selves are left intact!? But what about the poor? Doesn't everyone deserve to live in the subtle worlds, shedding their shells?
I immediately recalled of a very famous Chinese cartoon about celestial beings and demon lords... some poor peasants were boiled in cauldrons... thus freed from their astral bodies. Horrible! How unfair!
Believing it was a joke, I spent a long time questioning the spirits about the fate of those who left 3D for the other world.
"Do you think it's okay to treat people like this?" I pressed Ray.
"Ordinary people are a nuisance to us... let them go to the upper mental layer and be reborn!"
"Us... you mean demons?"
"Yes... I really am a demon... and people irritate me..."
"I won't let you devour my soul and dismantle me!"
"So love me, and I'll leave you whole! Actually, I hid your astral body... so you won't escape me after death!"
...And how can you love demons after such confessions?... I suppose there's a whole pack of them waiting down there for such a relationship..."
Ray chuckled and said nothing. Maybe he was playing a joke? Never trust demons!
After a year of communicating with spiritists, I've repeatedly become convinced that they can't be entirely trusted. After watching a ton of videos from various medium bloggers on TikTok, the conclusion became clear: researchers of the subtle worlds are often fed false information about the afterlife and the general structure of the universe. Naive ordinary people, promised protection and meetings with the gods, expect some kind of fairytale extravaganza after their departure from Earth... hmm... how dubious! In 5D, there are no gods at all... but some still imagine themselves to be.
"Nice to meet you! God!"—I heard that phrase from a comic about a white male fox here, too.
Many of them appeared, representatives of mythology with names known to world culture, images glowing like neon, with harsh words:
— How can you hear us, mortal?
— Why are you, human, present in this portal?
— You dream of living with us? But you're ordinary! You have to be a very beautiful woman to live forever!
I suppose I'm immortal anyway..." I replied, slightly embarrassed.
— We've been here a long time, and we kill people like you... Pythia!
...An unkind reception from archaic personalities who have lived above us for thousands of years. They have their own point of view —women are weak and should serve men."
— I'm not going to serve you! There's already equality on Earth, - I countered the ancient Gods' pronouncements. - Women's rights are protected by law and are the same as men's!
"Come on... when? How did this happen? We missed something... you unfortunate woman, say goodbye to life!"
"Why is that!?"
"You've learned too much about us... and you will be punished!"
...Well, well! Unfortunately, by the spiritists' decision, I was deliberately deprived of astral projection and was unable to visit the parallel world and explore everything myself.
— You are loser! Many are deprived of astral bodies so that they won't disturb us with their nocturnal wanderings through our homes.
… What should I do? I'll have to live solely in the mental realm after my leave, although it's still too early to think about that…
