I wrote and published the sci-fi short story Valiant Dreams, yet in 2020, on the www.updivine.com site, as well as the sci-fi short story The Boxer, of which this is a sequel. Here I will use another illustration. Since the narrative is long, I will leave the headlines of that time here as well. The present short story is also the title of the anthology.

The story takes place on the alien spaceship. The reader can get acquainted with various spaceships, extra-planets, and dimensions. The Boxer receives the knowledge that the Spacer thinks he will need in his dream. After that, they touch on the question of origin, dark matter, the virtual existence, and then the transformation begins. The secrets of the iridescent flower and the soyombo are also revealed to the Boxer, and the story ends a year after the second meeting.

Have a good reading time.

"Welcome, Boxer! Since we have met before, it is the correct thing to return our warm welcome somehow!"

"Welcome, Spacer…"

"Well, I invite you again to the spaceship. But, as you see, I myself was in a hurry to welcome you, and now I will show you such a part of the spaceship that you could not have seen so far… Come, follow me!"

The Control Room

And, the boxer felt as if the spacer had attracted him by a magnetic force, as if he were thrown out, he was floating toward the spaceship visible nowhere, following the spacer. He became the Pilgrim of Infinity in vain since they had met last time, though he was surprised sometimes.

Other spacers making crew of the spaceship, one might say, received him friendly, they kept out, like a magic of their ways. The captain of the spaceship – since he hurried to meet the boxer – guided him into a perfectly hidden, round hall. As the row of hermetically closed doors first opened up, then closed up behind them again, ideas came in turn in the boxer's mind: lab, experiment, prison, observation room, classroom… But, the spacer calmed down this ring in his mind, and entering the round hall, he gave through mentally the boxer the following:

"Look around thoroughly! This is here, the control room. We never show it any boxers, since their rudimentary wit is covered by shadows of fear, greed for power, mortal passion, greediness, and malice. I could enumerate on, but I am entirely aware that you know it yourself."

"Thank you for your confidence, oh, Spacer! Nevertheless, when you were here last time, I saw the control room, yet…"

"That was not this control room! This is the hidden control room, and it is even more secret than the "top secret" classification of your government. During our last meeting, we subjected you to scrutiny, do you remember?"

"Yes."

They Found the Perfect 'Boxer'

"Well, this extended beyond the physical inspection to your wit, emotive features, morality, sense of responsibility, etc. In fact, we completely measured what you are like. We presented the result of the investigation to our planetary council, as we have been looking for such a human for a long time, as you call yourself, Boxer. The council considered you appropriate for initiating you into this important secret. Therefore, at first I will tell you, namely, I will fill your mind all, that you have to know, then I will show and explain to you everything. Please, take a seat!" and as the spacer was thinking of it, something flashed and two chairs appeared in the control room by his thought power. The boxer sat in front of the spacer, and he was astonished, casually, that he could see nothing of the actual control room…

Then, a light, dream-like cloud covered his mind, engulfed it, and he gave himself up to this tide. A passing touch returned him to the reality where the spacer was sitting in front of him, and he heard him in his mind:

"We have to wait now, Boxer, for the information I have provided you could come to light. For this, you will sleep, so it is easier and faster. You are quite safe from any harm, I assure you!"

"I am sure, oh, Spacer…", and the boxer fell into a deep dream.

When he was entirely awake, the pieces of information given through by the spacer just emerged in his mind in turn:

The Knowledge

"At present, human beings for becoming uninhabitable of the planet – what is more, in an increasingly accelerating rhythm – are threatened by extreme peril, extinction. On this planet, for millions of years, a cyclic evolution of civilisations had existed, but the actual measure of air pollution, poisoning of the soil and water intoxication and global ravage owed to the human, in a short time, will step over the invariant of the inhabitability/uninhabitableness of the planet. This, of course, will imply the ultimate perdition of life as such. Earlier, there had been a possibility for renewal of life, since the atmosphere endured…

As you know, spacers are originally all humans, the same as you. Of course, from that, what like is a customary earthling nowadays, they pretty vary along with me. Among others, they diverge from us in the balkiness of the mule, in the greed of power, and others that I have mentioned before you slept.

But the essence that distinguishes us from you is the intelligent wit that we developed and that requires an advanced social sense from all of us equally. Besides this, it requires, of course, equally altruism, behavior following the rules based on consideration, peaceful attitude, and acceptance, help of life in its every form. The mental field of force emanated by the planet named Earth we receive even from the distance of light-years since we developed our minds in this direction, as well. That mental field consists of enough chaotic waves. We managed, nevertheless, to filter out the proper ones for our purposes and the entities behind them. You are one of them, and, fortunately, in the middle of the chaos, there are lots of similar ones. But, besides, you are appropriate for mastering and transmitting the manner of abandoning the planet. The evacuation. And those principles as well, like the practice of the possibility of transforming a given planet and its intelligent beings toward the direction that, on the one hand, they could protect the planet. On the other hand, that planet-spaceship as such could be created and maintained. I know this will make you immensely astonished when it emerges to the surface of your mind…

Well, let us begin with that, let you build such spaceships, like ours! Their visible part, thereby, is basically little, to be able to cross over dimensions, despite being exposed to aviation in physical space, to spacetime-warp, all sorts of influences, objects, and astronomical events of travel through a given solar system. They are of light construction, antimatter-propulsioned, they can conquer the gravity of space objects of any kind, and if it is necessary, they can conquer even the acceleration and speed of the manoeuvre of space objects of any kind, as well. Their manoeuvres are not influenced by spacetime, either by any solar systems – their computer of some kind is connected to the mother planet, double-secured, like the Internet on Earth, but this multidirectional connection works through hyperspace. In addition, at the same time, all spacers are able to connect to it with their minds, without a device… Therefore, if the control units fail, which is unlikely, even though the probability is greater than null – well, in this case, our minds will replace them… We are tuned to the control centre of the mother planet at the spacers, it is essential. Therefore, if we do not fall prey to aggressive hordes, murdering because of their fear, our return is secured. The manner of creating this spaceship, that of the connection of the mind, and all this knowledge we will transmit to the group, remaining faithful to this knowledge even in the chaos the same, as you. We will use the mind-accelerator for this, which encodes and decodes everything even at the DNA level. So this ability and knowledge will be your offspring's own from birth and then will be genetically inherited. It happened so at us, as well.

The Science of Inner Control Room

The second phase is the camouflage of the spaceship: visibly, it is tiny, fragile, vulnerable. In fact, it possesses virtual rooms, light and ray weapons that serve only for defence, other guns that we will familiarize you and the chosen team. It has, furthermore, a laboratory, rooms for necessities, and equipment that manifest physically only when they are needed. So, the mass and size are considerably reducible, down, between null and one, which enables crossing over the dimensions, the manoeuvres, and others.

The inner control room of the spaceship – this, where we are now residing, partly, is able to bring us back to the mother planet at any time, from any space in a minute. Partly, it is able to deliver us to the virtual spacetime, where even the forms of life are virtual, as well. Well, these I will unfold to you when you wake up, namely, if it is necessary. The other important station is the space-cities: these are real cities transformed into space-cities that are adjusted for complete recycling, ecologically by their inhabitants. Later, then, they transform them into a sort of flying cities, that in the beginning, fly in real space, in real spacetime. They are surrounded in a spherical form with a nano-shield to avoid harmful radiation of space, and that of space objects, so in a given solar system, they are able to get to anywhere together with all the beings that live on them. That is, they are not connected to any planet since, they are able to maintain the ecosystem and, they are able to ensure its vital conditions. However, in phase one, these space-cities are able to fly only in the original solar system, and to get to given objects. In phase two, the technology, transforming into virtual reality, which is required for dimension-crossing, is built in such cities. This technology is able to transform an entire city into virtual, and vice versa: to make it a reality in the physical. Beyond technology, this means a special mental row of operation that the dwellers of the space-cities must master, and by this, I mean the intelligent being, the human. And they have to use it together. Its rules, manner we will give you through. As soon as this row of operations, namely the virtualizing ̶ transforming into physical reality operation works, the flying cities will be able to cross the dimensions, since they then will not be connected tightly to the mother-solar-system. They become through this, qualified for existing in the non-physical quasi-space and quasi-time, for changing arbitrarily the periods of manifestation and non-manifestation. All these do not cause any harm to the ecosystem and to beings living in them.

The Flying Cities

The next phase is such a step that after your awakening, probably first will shocking, wondrous, but later you will realize that it is possible. This is the planet-spaceship. The planet-spaceship means that the planet, ensuring the living space with its every condition, must be transformed to be able to fly both physically and ecologically, involving the conditions that maintain the latter, just like an airplane or spaceship. Moreover, the planet-spaceship must be able to be diverted from its place, namely, its orbit in the given solar system. What is more, the planet-spaceship must be made possible to be able to leave its original solar system completely, and to go on toward others. This is its physical side. Its other side is the connection: its aim is the mental connection of the intelligent beings. Namely, mankind of a given planet will be transformed along certain principles, rules – the pests fall out of the sieve. However, it is not up to some rich individuals or persons, thinking themselves to possess power to decide, but up to us, since we, on the one hand, have gone through this process. On the other hand, we are definitely more advanced than you are at this phase. We make certain the transformation of humanity, namely, in a direction that is noticeable in us. We have reached it to such a degree of mental development that means "respect of life", to cite Albert Schweitzer's main theorem, who was one of your polymaths of the 20th century of your present civilization. On the other hand, this degree means the evolution of individuals fit for the outlined earlier peaceful, mental co-operation. Of course, physically healthy, strong, and adaptable individuals are needed, as extreme cold, warm, famine, etc. Besides these, the most important thing is mental competence. We see to all of it and will do so in the future, as well. The change that allows us to do so in accordance with the divine laws does warrant it.

Altogether, the planet-spaceship is able to leave its original solar system behind, and later all kinds of solar systems. In addition, it is able to step over to the virtual world, but if it is needed, it can return to the physical world again, as well. Our mother planet is the same.

Well, I outlined the progress of evolution, and in the following, I will answer your questions – since you will have them – and we will teach you in accordance with specific timing. Wake up!"

Waking Up

It happened so that the boxer woke up, then all these got to the surface of his mind. The spacer enjoyed his immense astonishment as the boxer discerned it by the spacer's certain oscillations.

Where are you from?

"I would put some questions, indeed… hm… Who are you all, oh, Spacer? Why…?"

"As I revealed, originally we are humans, the same as you, Boxer. But we fairly modified ourselves. What does this »why« refer to?"

"Why do you intervene in the life of the planet? Why do you help?"

"Since once we had been to the edge of the desolation, and the humans had been transformed before us helped us the same way. This is one of the signs of the change of the mentality: what you are given, give back, namely, the good… Be good for those who are reduced to it since, once you'd been reduced to others, as well, and you were helped by your forefathers… Then, once all of you will be the spacers who help a future mankind, and so it forms an infinite chain…"

"Where are you from?"

"From the Earth. But that Earth – this, where we are now – was vastly different from the present planet. During its approximately 4.5 billion years of existence, this planet has repeatedly gone through its periods and forms, inhabited and uninhabited, even uninhabitable by intelligent life forms. And it is likely to continue for quite a long time. On the whole, there are still three billion years left."

"Yes, since the Sun will cool down…"

"Or it will explode… You must definitely step! That's why we've come, to help."

"How did you design the spaceship with virtual space? How did the flying city develop? The planet-spaceship?"

"Physically? We had to consider in all of them the same elements: life cycles of the human being and the ecosystem, the life cycle that allows for the previous one to be active. If you build a spaceship that travels in the given solar system, if you create a space-city or planet-spaceship, even in these cases, you have to ensure on these flying objects the same rhythm, the so-called circadian rhythm, having been used to it on the mother planet, yet, in the present case, on Earth. Otherwise, the fragile knowledge will be the first that suffer injuries, and this, of course, must not be permitted in the interest of assuring of aviation and progress. The circadian rhythm regulates the biorhythm, in the case of every being as well, which is essential for the preservation of the race, if we talk about a planet spaceship. Till these flying objects travel in the space considered 'real', these circumstances are necessary, unconditionally.

"And, if they will be able to leave the given solar system, for crossing dimensions? Then, what does happen with the living organism?"

"Then, of course, it breaks away from the previous spacetime; the circadian rhythm changes, unless it is maintained artificially. The spacetime warp, the angles, and the orbits of the planets may be somewhat different from the original, and this small but non-zero value can bring about huge changes. Let us say, space wind can let you fly to an undesirable direction, that besides more factors evolves from aberration of planetary orbits or the solar system in question may last for a different life cycle. Thus, luminance and brightness emitting from its central sun may differ from that of the essentially accustomed, and these require adaptation, as well. Or, the role of the central sun may be divided between two or even three orbiting suns. And may be their periods, their distance compared to each other, and their planes of orbit, projected to each other with their angles all together form a radically different system – albeit, this is a physical system, as well – than what we experience in the case of a single central sun. One also needs to be able to evade this, namely, considering the planet-spaceship or flying city as a whole!

There may be such an opportunity – and this must be learned to avoid – when it is a black or white hole, where the dimension-crossing leads to. Considering the event horizon, an infinite orbital period would start, but if we surpass it in thought, the object would fall into the black or white hole. That case means physically the annihilation, doesn't it?…

The Dark Matter

Then there may exist such a case that the object steps through from the visible universe to the dark matter. With unpredictable consequences. Since, in the case of a black or white hole, the probability of physical annihilation is 99.9 %, but the dark matter is not known really yet, even by us… There have been attempts on our part to map it, but I would not be able to show physical regularities that work the same way there. Maybe it is the reflection of this world that is enclosed in the dark matter. Thus, opposite directions reversed spacetime. Nevertheless, then there, where does the evolution go? Here, the light emanates from the sun, does it not? But where does it come from there? Does it travel back from somewhere to a given sun that is just taking shape? Or even, does it not exist? Is there perhaps only a glimmering that is not sufficient to maintain physical life? We do not know. However, one day we will find the answer, I am sure!

"And what if this dark matter is that which controls everything? Did you not think of this?"

"What do you mean by this? The current Universe, which includes even the Milky Way? Or is your horizon wider than that?"

"Originally, I thought of the current Universe…"

"And what do you know of the dark matter in the actual Universe?"

"The dark matter itself, if I know well, forms 23 % of it, the dark energy forms 72 %, till the visible matter forms 4.6 %, meaning the entire Universe as a whole. The remaining 0.4 % is the terra incognita of the whole Universe…

"Well, you know that proportion well, but there are parallel dimensions, as well, and we have not mentioned the rest, yet. However, I like this terra incognita…"

"Thank you, Spacer! If we ignore the proportions to answer the question, then I thought that the appearing forms of the visible universes, together with all their rules and systems, are "emitted", enabled by this dark matter or energy. With their entire lifetime extending to billions of years, all in all. And then it is not a mirror world."

"Possible. Then it is not a mirror world, but a matrix. What we have talked about earlier."

"Yes, but it is a virtual matrix, that is, it belongs to the virtual existence, I remember."

"That is what I expected from you, Boxer! Well, on the other hand, this assumption is unlikely to stand fast. On the one hand, there would be no virtual form of life, not to mention other species; on the other hand, we have already begun to map the dark matter with the dark energy, and the mirror theory is more likely than the matrix."

"How do you map it?"

"We go around the dark matter mentally. One man in himself cannot do so, but the aggregate power of our Matrix breaks it through figuratively, by «scanning», that is, its mental power »possesses« it. Nevertheless, we come up with fairly inflexible resistance. Well, we have never revealed anything about this to any boxer…"

"I see. But, how can get there, a spacer like you?"

"We do not get there, but the whole power of the Matrix breaks through it from a distance. This can be solved with the same efficiency as when the object or being under survey is in the immediate vicinity. In this sense, no spacetime and no dimension, do indicate an obstacle. Nevertheless, only in the manner mentioned, since this is done so by the divine will."

The Virtual Existence

"And what is the difference between the virtual existence and that of the physical one? You told, you do keep changing them… Is this spiritual existence?"

"Virtual existence is neither physical nor spiritual, but it can be found somewhere between the two life forms. That is, it has a physical basis that is manifested in physical existence, and which is able, at the same time, to become independent of that. Namely, it is neither noticeable physically nor perceivable by any organ of sense. However, it exists. Unfortunately, it is still not spiritual, since the spiritual form of existence is so pure that it is far above that of virtual. Our virtual existence can be approached from the mental side, with its every feature. Since we have become mentally united people, but basically, we are humans, we must also reckon with remnants of this character. In many cases, the attainment of a peaceful, life-supporting mentality is successful, as in our case. However, there are spacers who could not cope with it entirely well, and they are more or less driven by greed for power and the desire for assassination. These spacers betoken wars, devastation for beings of a given planet. We provide the transformation toward a peaceful mentality. If we consider these hostile, preachwaring spacers, we cannot say that our mental and, at the same time, virtual-real life forms would be spiritual, unfortunately. This is why one of the sages of your present civilization, Kung-ce or Confucius, said that "knowledge of germs is divine wisdom". Of course, this saying may be interpreted from more respects, but in our case, it casts light upon the fact that our original mental transformation has not succeeded entirely perfectly, and that we are not perfect, either. Merely, we have worked out perhaps a somewhat better or more perfect manner to maintain our existence."

"When we previously had met each other, you talked about such beings as e. g. the Orion-being, who is basically cold…"

"This is not entirely associated with our topic. They represent a civilization of a different kind. I do not want to mention this right now as it would lead us entirely different direction than what you have to know."

"Are there other similar creatures like that?"

"Oh yes! As many such beings there are, they're representatives of as many civilizations with other characteristics. Well, we have to return to our topic, unfortunately!"

Operation Implementation

"I see. And what about molding to virtual? How can such an operation be implemented?"

"It consists of several phases. The first step is the mental transformation and connection according to an adequate set of rules. The second is the incorporation of this, the third is the transformation of it to be inheritable the fourth is the transformation of the physical character. I would explain it to you in vain because, previously, you have to go through a mental transformation. But all I can tell you is that it means creating a kind of mental center that is directed back and forth. By so doing, physicality is transformed temporarily by executing certain operations, and it "ceases to exist" – that is, it seems so – and it becomes a part of a matrix existing in two dimensions. Anything. At the same time, it also retains all its characteristic qualities and, in a given case, it becomes visual, perceptible by physical senses."

"And, does it not cause pain? Does it not mean death for the physical body if a living being is concerned?"

"No, I make you sure of it that it is not accompanied by any pain, and in addition, this is not death. This is a transformation. If a creature is like us, namely, his mentality is organically joined in a concord, like, e. g. the planetary consciousness or that of the universal one, then, in case of his death, he neither appears physically anymore, nor exists virtually. The Matrix preserves only the essence of his creature and existence. Because the key for evolution is hidden in all such creatures, in the mental characteristics of all such creatures, since besides, it is connected with the Matrix and the planet, and with its creatures, it even preserves its own, unique essence. And this is what the Matrix preserves after the death of the creature. Otherwise, you can learn more about the related aspects of planetary and universal consciousness from Asimov's novels. But, I would also like to introduce you to the relations of the Matrix because they do o't appear even in them."

"I know his novels, Spacer. But, now I would like to know, what happens till the being only steps across the physical life form, from the virtual and backward?"

"Its essence is its part, living on the Matrix, namely, from this part, energy pervades the being. He himself emits energy, as well. If he is physical, it shifts the "points", let's say so, on the Matrix, to the physical characteristics; if it is virtual, then the other way round. But the energy of the basic essence flows. If such a being dies, on the Matrix, this spring of energy expires. Then, only his essence remains. This is the divine law."

"Exceedingly strange!"

"Oh yes, once it had been the same for us, as well! And now take a look around: this is where the hidden control center is."

"I remember it, since it took place under your guidance, as well, that I have been connected to the Matrix when we last met each other. How could that take place?"

"Well, yeah, that was only the «taste of that» and it could take place because under my guidance, we made your mind appropriate for this connection. Nevertheless, that served only for gaining experience."

"But, I have altered because of it…"

"Yes, this is its side effect. However, the preparations for the continuous mental existence or for the mental connecting anyway, involve the phases outlined before, and if somebody gets into contact with it in such a way, as you did, that may generate random changes that, even we cannot calculate in advance. Therefore, we remain at the original plan, which is safe. Well, cast a glance at the hidden control center since you have not seen it yet! I hope you are aware of the privilege that you can see it!"

The Transformation Begins

The boxer nodded and looked around. In the round room, a kind of counter-like structure ran around. Everywhere, terminal points awaited the spacers at regular intervals, and projectors stood above the counter. The terminal point was the redesigned »keyboard«. They have not needed all these indeed after all, they installed the control room in this way since they preserved the originally designed version. Moreover, the boxer noticed some thinner or thicker handles on the counter cabinet. The thickest and largest was black, and the others all were different colours. Above them, there were figures: triangles, circles, squares, rectangles, rhombuses… Compared to the colour of the handle, the figure above it shone in its complementary color: if the handle was blue, the plane figure was orange; if it was red, the plane figure was green, and this has quite excited the boxer's curiosity. Then he looked downwards: he saw a radial figure on the ground starting from the central point of a circle formed by a single dark purple, iridescent point of light and unfolded into a sixty-petalled flower, all in different colors and tints. The apex of the petals was encircled by a reflection of a symbol called soyombo, and next to them, the complementary colour of the given petal and one of the complementary tints of the colour scale originated, and they intertwined at equal distance from the apex, and they ran so toward the console like the sunbeams. As he was standing amazed at them, he noticed that at regular intervals, some vibration was running through the entire figure from the center, becoming iridescent in purple, and then the colours were changing. He could not immediately see, by what rule the colors changed, but he did see that the center was beaming on in purple iridescent colour. He felt an irresistible attraction to go there, to step on every petal, one after another, and especially, on this beautiful purple center. But the spacer's mental prohibition had its power: he stayed where he was and watched this miracle in amazement.

"I understand and share your amazement, Boxer! When we first saw a figure similar to this one, because they are not entirely the same, we felt the same way, as well. Its beauty and masterful character praise the previous spacers' knowledge. But, let us see, what is it good for!

Compared to the ordinary control center, here there is this design that does not occur there. Everything else is similar. The console running around with the monitors, the colorful guiding handles, all are the relics of the pioneer age, and therefore, we left them. Partly, because we have been used to them, partly because of the intelligent beings living on different planets, since they would not be able to interpret without physical expression, how we are able to navigate. When we last met each other, I told you previously that the symbols are important in our navigation. Well, let us combine mathematics and symbolism! It counts much, to which handle what plane figure belongs to, and in addition, their colour is also not inessential. Since, e. g. we take the blue handle with the orange circle, which guides us to the half-physical world. If we take the same with a red circle, that guides us to the universe of the red dwarves. The blue handle with a red triangle casts to a given white hole, the green handle with a red triangle to that world that here is hall-marked by the pharaohs. Moreover, the red handle with a green triangle sends over to a planet having a so-called star-consciousness.

Of course, these all, are systems and planets of physical origin. However, if somebody steps to the center point, he must be mentally well-developed, and he must know the target. Because if a profane person steps into it, then it is one expected reaction is to cast through such a dimension in a minute that neither we know inevitably, and since we do not know the way leading there, probably neither would we be able to return. If somebody steps on the petals, they must be fully aware of the target, of the coordinates, of all the physical and other laws to get the spaceship to the right place. If a profane person steps to any of them, the situation is the same, as if they would step to the center point."

"And why do the colours change in the petals?"

"Because they are the signs of the coordinate-alterations."

"And how frequently do they change?"

"On average, every six minutes."

"What are the semicircles embracing the petals, each with a point in the middle, and what are they for?"

"That is the so-called soyombo, the reflection of the symbol of the crescent Moon, the Sun, and the Vesper. The original is one of the most important symbols of the shamans, which meant the dominion above the so-called afterlife, the intermediate world, and this world, namely, all these belong under the rule of the shaman. At the same time, it symbolized the unity of these three worlds, however, its reflection refers to the Hermetic teaching: "As it is above, so it is below; and as it is below, so it is above…" This enables the appropriate flow of energy, and it regulates where the spacecraft has to move to, from the three worlds, crossing different dimensions. Of course, the "below" is the physical world, the "above" is the spiritual world – to cross here is but rarely successful, and the Vesper is the symbol of the mentally guided world, called the «intermediate world»."

"And what is valid when you want to enter the dark matter with the spaceship?"

"Then, it is true that in the fairy tales - we hang on the nail, consisting of dense darkness, our swords, and we enter weaponless, supposing the welcome would be friendly… But let us return to our original topic! If the iridescent purple center emits pulsating light, it enables the return to the Matrix. We know when it used to occur, what is more, it adapts to our necessities: if we have to return for some reason, so that by this we alter from our original plan, then it starts to pulsate. Its term is short, so therefore, it requires fast reactions. If a being with an unfamiliar mentality steps on it, that is a kind of alarm bell: it emits from itself a pulsating light at once, and returns by itself to the Matrix. This is its reaction to the other kind. Of course, all these involve the being's annihilation since they are not able to transform. We, whom you call spacers, are capable of doing it, even if we foreknow about it, and if it would take place surprisingly. That was the reason why I did not let you step onto it. We need you, since you are suitable for being a leader, teacher, and a guide for other people beyond mental transformation. Of course, you should not be led astray by the illusion: this is not power, and it means not more than increased responsibility. Because who is as like as that they are responsible for other people being led, taught, and guided by them, reaching the appropriate mental state. Well, if you have no questions…"

The Extract

"You said who dies, their extract, or what the Matrix preserves. And what about those of guilty?"

"Theirs the Matrix does not preserve. Because he who abuses the responsibility entrusted to him, as it could be taken place you that does not deserve a new chance despite his other excellence."

"What kind of chance?"

"The essence that is preserved from each individual being on the Matrix is revivable. Of course, not in its original physicality as it perishes. This essence, anyway, is able to take on a new physical body and to continue its previously unfinished work, for of course, nobody will finish that is, their task of life. On the other hand, the essence remaining on the Matrix ensures that the work should be continued. He who abuses responsibility and whose essence is not retained cannot do so. This is a divine fundamental law. It is not you, still not us, who decides. The divine law lives and works this way. So, the preservation of the essence in the Matrix is a kind of »reward« if I may say so."

"And do you know the first time…"

"No, I have lived through an entire row of such mission-oriented lives, I had been present a hundred million years before, as well, and I am here even now, as you see…"

"What do you wait for me?"

"Submit yourself for the mental transmission that we start here, but its end will come entirely elsewhere…"

-.-

One Year Later

In the same place, after an earthly year, the spacer and the former boxer returned. Now there is nothing to distinguish them from each other: their appearance is the so-called "little gray", their communication is mental, and their knowledge is much the same. Their mental vibrations on the human language are as follows from here:

"Well, you have undergone a huge change by this fugitive earthly year…"

"Yes, thanks to you and the precise work of the others."

"Are you ready?"

"Yes."
