Svetlana de Rohan-Levashova.   Revelation

            have to start everything again from the very beginning, in order that when his next
            "physical" life is over to return (maybe here!) with a whole new set of "luggage", bad
            or good, depending on how he lives his "next" earthly life... And there is not the
            slightest  hope  for  him  to  be  freed  from  this  exclusive  circle  (be  it  good  or  bad),
            because if one begins the earthly life, he "dooms" himself to this eternal circular
            "journey".  And  depending  on  his  actions,  the  return  to  the  "floors"  can  be  very
            pleasant or very scary.

                  – What if you don’t you kill anybody in the new life, you will not return to this
            "floor" anymore, right? – I asked with hope.
                  –  But I remember nothing, my dear, when I return there... It’s after death that
            we remember our lives and errors. And when we  begin to live there again, our
            memory is closed at once. Probably, that is why our old "acts" recur – because we
            don’t remember our old errors... But frankly speaking, even if I knew that I would be
            "punished"  again, I  would never  stand  aside, if  my  family  or  my  country  was  in
            danger. It’s all strange, if we come to think it over. It would seem that the one who
            "distributes" our guilt and payment wishes that only cowards and betrayers live on
            Earth. Otherwise, he would not punish scoundrels and heroes the same way. Or is
            there, nevertheless, a difference in the punishment? It must be, in all fairness. In fact
            there are heroes who performed superhuman exploits. They had songs and legends
            dedicated  to  them  which  lived  for  centuries.  They  should  not  be  placed  amongst
            ordinary murderers, for sure! I wish I could ask somebody about that…

                  – I also think that such thing cannot be! In fact there are people that performed
            such wonders of human courage that even after death they, like the sun, lit up the
            earthly path for all the living for centuries. I like to read about them very much and I
            try to find as many books as possible which tell about human exploits. They help me
            to live and cope with my loneliness, when life becomes too hard. The only thing that
            I cannot understand is: why heroes always must die on Earth in order that people can
            see their rightness? Why does everybody become indignant only when a hero cannot
            be revived? Why is it only then that the long sleeping human pride arises and the
            crowd, ardent with just anger, take down the "enemies" like specks of dust on their
            "faithful" way? – Sincere indignation raged in me. Probably I spoke too quickly and
            too much, but I rarely had the possibility of expressing what really "hurts" me... and I
            continued.
                  – In fact people killed first even their poor God, and only afterwards began to
            worship him. Is it really impossible to see the real truth before it’s already too late?
            Is not it really better to keep safe the heroes, follow their example and learn from
            them? Do people really always need the shocking example of others' courage to
            believe in theirs? Why is it necessary to first kill somebody so that they could set a
            monument to glorify him after? Honestly I would prefer to erect monuments to the
            living, if they are worthy of it...

                  And what do you mean that somebody "distributes guilt"? You mean God or
            something? But it’s not God that punishes. We punish ourselves. We are responsible
            for everything.
                  –  Don’t you believe in God, dear? – The sad man, who attentively listened to
