taking into account the peculiarities of this nation’s world outlook.
Anastasia: Well, those who were establishing such traditions evidently knew more
about the invisible world… And these representations seem so familiar… You’ve said
that the “Oo dee” concept was equated with the symbol of five directions, five cardinal
points, five deities. Incidentally, isn’t Huan-dee (“the yellow sovereign”) the fifth
sovereign, the centre of these four directions, four deities?
Rigden: Absolutely. Huan-dee or the spirit named Khan-shou-nu (“the rod swallower”).
Its spirit is embodied in a unicorn Qilin’ — a symbol of the centre.
Anastasia: As a matter of fact, this is a prototype of the Soul designation, of the centre

simultaneous vision of everything that happens around and even in other dimensions.
Such capacity is unapproachable for ordinary human vision in our habitual threedimensional
world. But, once a person alters his or her state of consciousness, obstacles
for his or her inner vision start vanishing.
Anastasia: Yeah, such inner vision is very impressive, especially when you just begin to
experience the invisible world from such an “all-embracing viewpoint”. I remember how
twenty years ago our group only started learning these practices, and how that first
experience astounded me personally. It was quite unusual to observe the processes and
to get that totally new feeling of such internal “visual” perception. Yet, even more
astounding was the opportunity of getting an all-embracing idea of a certain object, of its
