I had just realized now that my old life was over. The United States, the army, Demon lord and all, I had to forget.

A badge appeared on my shoulder the badge of the infernal army. It was a symbol of a dragon with five claws.

I regretted everything.

I was nothing anymore. All those soldiers were fanatics and obeyed their goddess without flinching.

Then Demodragon said, "You'll weep over your fate later when you're alone. At least have some pride."

We ate separately. I didn't dare criticize his human menu. It broke my heart to hear the pleas. He did it on purpose. I knew I was out of my golden blood. And that slowly but surely I was becoming indifferent, mean... No one could resist it.

How could I face my family? My eggs? How to face my wife?

Demodragon: "I will explain to you how the astral works and how it works.

You'd better get it all straightened out or else, you know what..."

Then He made illusions appear and a blackboard appeared in front of me.

This is the qliphotic tree, the reverse tree of life. The tree of evil and death.

This is opposite to the tree of life which is described in Kabbalah and the angelic beliefs.

Above the tree of life is the diamond, the world of God, inaccessible to men but only to angels and again, archangels, arch-angels.

At the very bottom is the Kingdom box. The world of the living and the animals.

The souls who purify themselves, after the obligatory death, will migrate progressively to the upper squares. For some, a few births and life/death cycles, and others will take thousands of years of life... No one is equal.

But between the squares which are in fact dimensions, everything cascades down and the old adage which says, according to Christians, Everything that is above is like what is below!

The bars that connect the spheres or dimensions are made of Aether, an intangible substrate dimension called limbo. They encompass everything and souls pass through it without even realizing it.

But there is a mega-sphere, the central point of which is a sphere where all the roads meet, it is the astral.

Lots of creatures live there, and as everything is connected, everything produced there manifests itself on the physical plane.

So if you move spiritually or with an astral body, everything you do there will manifest on the physical plane.

For example, witches on the Sabbath,

They didn't really fly, but they took drugs and their minds separated from their sleeping physical bodies, joining each other by flying even over crazy distances. Few had the gift of seeing them, but they were seen and their story was written and passed on by word of mouth.

Then they would traumatize their victims in their sleep, enter their dreams and ravage their existence, even to the point of death by suffocation or heart failure.

They were like living ghosts.

Only an invisible thread connected them to their drugged bodies, and only the reaper could cut that link and really make them die.

For me, it's the same...

So you're going to ask me what the decorporation has to do with the symbol?

It's the religious taboo, the mystical ecstasy and enlightenment described in religions.

So are chakras and Buddha beads. It's all connected.

What are energy centers? Chakras and all that esoteric shit?????

Nothing could be simpler, they are the attachments that hold your mind to your body.

You have to apply the reverse tree of life to your body to astralize yourself and the tree of life to re-attach yourself.

All these charlatans, priesthood and other nonsense just lie and let humanity rot like larvae.

No wonder they call it the gates of death or the qliphotic tree.

That's where I come in. If an astral entity is next to a candidate, it can help him to unhook like a fly stuck in honey.

You have to visualize your inner sun, your star in the order of descent from head to tail to exit and the reverse for the return.

You must also make a mental pentacle to create a barrier to concentrate your mana and make a spiritual shield to protect your body from other monsters that could take over your body and kill you.

You must also be careful not to go into a mirror because you could be locked in it forever or until it breaks.

Now you will close your eyes, relax and listen to the telluric waves and how the breath of the sea passes through you."

Which I did and I felt like I was floating.

Then like pressure in my ears, it pulsed and blew and spat out like a snake.

With my eyes fixed on the ceiling of the cave, I could see black whirlpools, as if the air was rushing through them.

Demodragon: "What you see are your activated chakras. You need a uniform surface to see them clearly.

Now, your conscious self needs to say, "I'm up here, I'm up here."

I did as he said, terrified, and suddenly a breath came into my neck and like the trumpets of the apocalypse or the sound of the sun, it didn't matter. I found myself, floating on the ceiling and I turned around to see myself asleep, unconscious on the edge of the underground lake.

I was floating and watching, I crossed the rocks, the water, and went outside and the endless sand dunes.

Then I saw Demodragon in the form of a spider.

In his astral form, Demodragon took again "Well, at least you just got some stripes. You know how to get into the astral.

For a demon, that's very important. That's how they operate.

Now we're going to teach you how to make a demon field.

You will now fill in an imaginary polygonal block or sphere that will encompass your area of influence.

You will fill that area with mana as best you can. Light mana is usually enough.

In this area you can change the laws of physics and chemistry at will.

You will be able to enter someone's dreams, ravage their life and health and even cause the perfect murder. Invisible, without traces.

I wanted to ask a question: "Do golden dragons know?"

Demodragon: "Of course they do! They do their dirty work this way and keep up appearances all the time. They're experts at lying and hypocrisy."

You can also feed on them that way....

Now you'll hunt shadows, larvae and astral creatures and eat them.

Their spiritual strength will be yours and you'll be stronger, I advise you to have a white head like Tiamat... She is more sensitive to the air and the variations of the Aether and can therefore see in the astral."

The more I listened, the more I realized that I knew nothing. I had to admit that he was right.

Gradually I was admitting that I was now one of the legions of hell and now I had to fight for my rightful place.

The training lasted several days and the monster did not have to fight once.

Now I could see the soldiers beside me in the astral. I stood at attention and my astral dragons followed me. I also felt that I had to set an example to them.

But I was torn between my honor as an officer of the United States and a sidekick in Tiamat's infernal army...

I always remember Tiamat consoling me and the Americans turning their jackets on me.

To reassure myself, I told myself that I would remain neutral and attack only the Japanese.

And then again...

I would not be allowed to do so, I had to serve the interests of my goddess/mother first.

Then I remembered Uther's advice coming over and over again.

And I prayed to my king, and to my friend... "Uther, help me to make good choices..."

And I heard his usual answer, "Flee from the humans, don't trust them any more. Save yourself and live happily hidden..."

And he was right...
