When I was thirty, I too saw myself dead. I was wrong. Jesus was right. Glory to him. When you&#8217;re seventy-five, predicting your death is nothing but heartbreaking banality. Why do I say it?

A life dedicated to selfish pleasures alone brings weariness, disgust, depression, death of the body. The soul does not recover. From early childhood, I knew that death was only a little heartbreak &#8212; especially for those who stayed. A fool\u2019s game of mourning the deceased. Beyond the ultimate door, it continues. The door is not the ultimate door. It continues in the same fashion, questions without answers, post-existential life, the Post Office exists in heaven.<\/p>\n<p>It goes on? What do I know?

The controlled fool. <a href=\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/initiation-tarot-marseilles-arcana-xviiii-xx-xxi-thefool-tarot-of-energy.html\">The Fool<\/a> I am, I am told. This Fool hears voices. At night, in my <a href=\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/real-dream.html\">real dreams<\/a>, someone called me throughout the month of July. It was an appointment request, something like that. Not quite <a href=\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/help-me.html\">a cry for help<\/a>, but the request was very insistent. It is still impossible for me to say whether it is a woman or a man, an adult or a child. One thing for sure, it came from a human being. Not an <a href=\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/yaldabaoth.html\">Archon<\/a> or such <a href=\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/beyond-appearance.html\">entity<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">\nI call it X<\/h4>\n<p>I don\u2019t know who it is, I don\u2019t know why, I don\u2019t know his request, but there is one, I\u2019m sure. Some nights I wake up with the unfortunate impression of coming out of a fading dream. The frustrating impression that the unknown (e) and I were discussing calmly with face uncovered but the image is already blurred. As soon as it opened, the door closed. It was never sharper than that. Largely insufficient to give the start of a beginning of an introduction.<\/p>\n<p>In mid-August, I decided to post an article to suggest that X make contact with me in the boring real world. <a href=\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/astral-contact.html\">Astral Contact<\/a>. Before reading it, two candidates for the initiatory internship had come forward. Same gender, same age, same name. Apart from these commonalities, they don\u2019t know each other. Yet I was sure the night call came from one of them. Or both. From then on, the insistent demonstrations ceased.<\/p>\n<p>The two interns did not admit to being the perpetrators of these calls. Maybe they want to keep it secret. Maybe they know each other? Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps&#8230; And then, suddenly, the astral calls resume again. I\u2019m very clear: neither of the two interns is the author. I know them well enough now, I\u2019m sure it\u2019s someone else. Perhaps a woman? Perhaps the trail of a new mystery? A discovery as I like them?<\/p>\n<p>All of these maybe make me dizzy. Too bad for discretion, I came out of the shadows right away. Hence this article. Whoever you are, make yourself known <a href=\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/now-or-never.html\">here and now<\/a>. If we are to meet, it may as well be in my lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-62461 size-full\" title=\"La passe Pizan, lagune St Michel, Erquy -- sk23\" src=\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/StMichel-lagune-feeclochette-sk23-1500x900-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">Only you know<\/h4>\n<p>Why meet me?
