Tree

     Opening the door to the subconscious was not only a metaphor for a new level of communication, but also a literal physical process. The holograms that appeared in the space of the hall were not just images. They were a reflection of deep psychic connections between team members and energy entities. These bonds were so strong that each member of the team felt the presence of the creatures not only visually, but also emotionally. Own thoughts and feelings are reflected in them. It was similar to how a mirror reflects an image, but instead of a normal reflection, the holograms showed the inner world. It felt as if they had created a web of subconscious communication between them that allowed them to work together as one. Such a deep understanding and communication was the key to solving many tasks that faced the team.

     After exchanging information about where Ram and his crew members came from, the lumps of matter led them through the largest crack in the temple wall, from which came the brightest purple light. They found themselves in a tunnel where the walls pulsated with shades of purple, creating a hypnotic effect. It felt like their bodies were becoming lighter, almost weightless. The researchers were transported through the space-time continuum.

• Are we… are we in the corridor between worlds? - Ram asked, and his voice sounded distant, like an echo.
• Yes - answered the energy entity. - You are on the way to our world.

No one was even surprised about the existence of such a corridor. Everyone felt as if they had known this for years. The team continued to move, guided by an invisible force that guided them through a rather narrow space. Ram and his team felt their minds expand, the ability to perceive information became almost limitless.

     Finally, a panorama of something truly unknown opened before them. Imagine a huge dome lit from within with soft, multi-colored light that reflects off the crystalline structures and creates the impression of a starry sky inside the space. The walls of the dome had a hexagonal relief, which, although it was transparent, slightly refracted the view of the infinity of space. Everywhere they stepped there was soft, living moss that glowed with every touch. In the middle of the space stood a huge stone tree, which seemed eternal, as if carved by the gods themselves. Its billions of branches, thick and mighty, pierced the sky, creating a network that connected different worlds and realities. The violet light pulsating from the trunk was a stream of life energy flowing through Astralis.

• This is the Tree of the Universe - explained the energy entity. - It connects all forms of life and all worlds. Each branch leads to another dimension where there are other civilizations, other knowledge.

Ram and his team were impressed. They felt their souls being filled with harmony. Bob's leg and all bodily injuries of the researchers after the landing (bruises, cuts, punctured internal organs ...) were healed and no longer radiated pain. This is a real miracle of its kind.

• Unbelievable - Zlata barely uttered.
• What a beauty - added Eva.
• How does it work? - asked Bob.
• The branches of the Tree and its roots function as portals or bridges between different dimensions. Each branch has a unique resonant frequency that corresponds to a certain dimension. When beings or objects interact with these branches, they tune into this frequency, allowing them to move into another dimension. This process resembled tuning a radio receiver to a certain wave to receive a signal from a certain station. The Universe Tree can also open the way to other worlds. This allows beings to travel between dimensions without the need to overcome vast cosmic distances – beings responded one at a time.
• But who are you? - could not resist Ram.
• We are the Guardians - answered the energy entity with a light glow that seemed to reflect from its transparent form. - Our existence is dedicated to the protection of this ancient symbol of unity and knowledge. We follow the harmony between the worlds and help those who seek the truth.

     Ram thought. He felt that this meeting was not accidental and that they were definitely on the threshold of great discoveries. Due to the intense events, the episode about the emergency landing seems to have faded in the memory of researchers. The only thing that bothered them now was the thirst for answers to billions of questions.

     Looking down, the group of researchers really saw a strange settlement. It spread out under the mighty trunk of the Tree of the Universe, among the roots that intertwined like giant snakes. Its buildings were made of unknown matter that continued to grow and change, adapting to the needs of its inhabitants. The sentinels that inhabited this place were creatures with huge, penetrating eyes and long, flexible limbs that allowed them to move among the complex structures of their home with an ease that defied the laws of physics. Their accounting was simplified to minimalism. It's hard to say what they looked like. The structure of the body resembled the sloths that live on Earth in the warm tropical regions of Central and South America. Ram and the others watched as the sentinels communicated with each other with complex gestures and sounds that created a harmonious melody among the roots.
