4. Birth

As I expected, it took about two days to fully master the necessary skills, I finished memorizing the books on chakras even earlier.

I managed to walk around the Library itself, after all, the monotonous actions sometimes made my head swell, periodic impulsive actions, for example, to make some origami from parchment, also greatly interfered. It's hard to be a lower spirit with a healthy mind. I have already seriously begun to sympathize with those guys before me who also faced such problems. It's good that I managed to take control of my actions, I'm afraid if I folded some origami from precious parchments of a fanatical spirit to knowledge, he himself would have made some kind of figurine out of me.

Walking through the Library, I have never yet found myself in a place where I have already passed, that is, after walking a long enough distance, all the time I came across all the new sections of the Library. I was itching to take more books, brew a cup of tea and immerse myself in millions of new worlds, after all, books for me from my previous life are like a whole life, it happened that after some particularly good book, I simply could not start another one, since the aftertaste from the book has not yet passed.

A great desire was to take at least a few books from the stories section, the cartoon does not show much life for a long period of time, we know that there were many avatars, but only a small number of them were shown. I had to make just titanic efforts in order not to break down, I even had to run through this section just in case. But mentally I promised myself that as soon as there was time and opportunity, I would stay here and read excitedly.

To be honest, walking around the Library was almost as stressful as practicing techniques, it's like going to the mall with your parents as a child and looking at the windows with various toys, everything is so cool, even that trinket that you will forget it after a few hours.

At the end of the first walk, I decided to go back to the room the same way. Nothing complicated, I thought, I was walking in a straight line all the time. Walking and seeing completely different names for the section, I began to panic slowly. It seems that Wang Shi Tong knows how to control space, there definitely shouldn't be such a distance, or is this a common feature of ancient spirits' habitation, when your habitat has been saturated with your energy for thousands of years, you will not only begin to control space, but also the flows of time.

Already panicking a lot, I started running and started randomly choosing directions, hoping to find that room. Having spent half of the reserve for acceleration, I managed to notice a red tail around the corner. There was no limit to my joy.

- Chanterelle, please help me find the way to the room with the scrolls, - he said, trying to make his voice calmer, it's a shame to lose calm from the fact that he just got lost.

It seemed to me or the spirit walked over me with a contemptuous look. Okay, the main thing is that she waved her tail and led me back. After going through just a few sections, I immediately saw the right door from the room. Everything is too confusing here, it looks more like a maze.

Before leaving, the fox spirit looked at me, sighed heavily and told me how to use the Library, supposedly I was distracting her from important things. How important we are. But the information turned out to be useful, it was worth just concentrating on thoughts about what you need, as the Library itself narrows the space for you, bringing you to the desired place. Now it became clear why, I often came across sections with stories, subconsciously I really wanted to read them. Thanking the spirit for his help, I started practicing again.

- Stop harassing yourself, do it or don't do it, - it suddenly sounded behind me that I jumped up from my previous place. I wanted to shout, "Hey, couldn't you have appeared not so unexpectedly?!", but the instinct of self-preservation, even being a spirit, was very strong.

Okay, it's really worth calming down. For the last few hours, I've just been pacing around the room and harassing myself with sad thoughts. Still, "who wants to bet their life on chance?"there were no such people in this room. Having already mastered, in my opinion, those techniques at a good level, I just really started to coward. "I'm not a coward, but I'm scared, right?"

It's always hard to get out of the comfort zone, it's even harder when there are a whole bunch of problems, and you're sitting and not changing anything thinking, come on, everything will resolve itself. But it doesn't work that way, we know, we've been through it. Problems will accumulate, in the end, when the brains fall into place, you will be unpleasantly surprised to see that the brains have been cleared due to the fact that there is simply nowhere to fall lower. Okay, I think stop feeling sorry for yourself, it's time to start a new life. Thanks to the lived experience, I will try to be even better in this life, of course if I survive. Humor is good.

"Yes, I'm ready," Wang Shi Tong said firmly.

- All right, send your consciousness to the source, - having done as the spirit ordered, - start strengthening.

Having done everything I have already done for two days, I began to wait for some beautiful effect of my sending. Naive lower spirit, I cried to myself, everyone offends. The fact is that he just opened some kind of rift in the air and kicked me there.

- And don't come back without new books, - I heard already in flight on the other side, - otherwise I will gut your spirit for knowledge myself, - he promised me ominously.

I hope he was joking. So much for a peaceful spirit. Then I began to notice the growing pain, yet the forced burning of your energy is not the most pleasant process. It's good that the spirit itself is looking for the vessel you need, my main task is only to strengthen myself.

There was less than twenty percent of the energy left, when I was just praying for people to make love more, water benders make me a vessel. Subjectively, there were less than ten percent of the energies left when the pain was so much stronger that you were already starting to lose consciousness, but I held on as best I could.

The energy remained at the bottom, when I almost lost consciousness, the thought came to my mind that in the world of the Avatar, there was also a Swamp Tribe of Water, I was already ready to get to them, just to survive.

I'm getting used to losing consciousness. That's how I think, so I still exist. I began to feel my body, I jumped up and down with my hands and feet, yes, there is a body, I even feel it more vividly, it does not compare with the body of the spirit. I also seem to be floating in some kind of liquid.

This is a success, much like an embryo, after all, it's great to feel like a human again, we don't appreciate what we have. Of course, maybe I died then, and now I'm a Jedi who was shot on Geonosis, and I'm undergoing treatment in a bacta chamber, hmm, everything fits together. My thoughts went somewhere wrong, but it's worth checking. Well, we move the handles, but the response is too weak, the soft wall presses on the hands, and it seems that I touched the umbilical cord with my hand.

Over time, my thoughts calmed down, and I began to think more calmly. I am not an expert on embryos, but it seems that I have not too long left, the body is too formed, soon I will be met by the harsh real world, but after the Realm of Spirits, where there were chances to be breakfast for a randomly passing spirit, the world of people looks like paradise.

I began to feel very sleepy, without trying to resist it, I smoothly sank into oblivion.

During the next waking I decided to do something useful, it's in my understanding of viewing memories from the cartoon I watched, still it would not be superfluous to refresh my memory, while everything I met looked like the canon here, if not complete, then there should not be a big difference. I've been doing this for a week, and I got so carried away that I looked through the Korra.

Only now I realized that I think being not even born yet, that's the first bonus of being a spirit, the baby's brains can't think in such a structured way. Speaking of them, there are books about the chakras that I haven't read in my memory, it's worth starting to comprehend this important information, my own body is not far off, and I will cherish and cherish it.

After another week, I spread out the information I had gathered from the books. Now it became clear why there were already three books on chakras. These are three different ways to open them, then you choose which one is closer or more necessary to you.

The first way is the way of the spirit, this is the way that Guru Patik taught Avatar Aang, the way that opens up the powers of the spirit in you, no matter how banal it may sound. By this it means that being a human, you will receive the powers that the spirits have while on their plane. This is an unhindered connection with the Realm of spirits, you can safely send your spirit to wander and interact being physically on the plane of people. This is an increased conductivity of energy, its qualitative improvement, understanding of your element will go to a whole new level, being a mediocre bender you will achieve mastery in your element in a year. And the most exciting thing is, being not a bender, you can try to become one.

It is clearly written in the book that, in fact, there are just the majority of benders among people, just the overwhelming number of them have a sleeping gift, and when opening the chakras, each open chakra will try to break through the boundaries of your gift. Someone will discover bending in himself already at the opening of the first chakra, when another will do it only after the last seventh chakra. It all depends on the metaphorical wall that separates you from awakening. Someone has a flimsy cardboard wall that with the opening of the first chakra will simply sweep it away and will not notice, such people are even recorded in the book as late awakened, such benders became themselves at a respectable age. Other cases are also indicated when they were able to awaken the element in themselves on the verge of life and death.

For others, this wall was made of the strongest steel, which needs to be hammered up to the seventh chakra. The rejection of many feelings when opening the chakras is due to the fact that the very process of this action is like the birth of a new spirit, and they begin their journey from scratch, that is, you do not lose your emotions, but simply begin to know them anew in the course of life. This path is exactly suitable for an avatar, whose main strength is entering the avatar state.

The next book is the path of reason. As I comprehended this book, I thought what kind of treasure I came across, but looking ahead, I will say that the book is very dangerous, or rather the abilities that it grants. Each new chakra gives you power over your own and someone else's mind. At first, everything is quite usual, this is a qualitative increase in the speed of thinking, protection of your mind from various influences, intuition goes to a new level, you literally feel which actions are for your good and which are not. Identify people's emotions? Easily! Further more, telepathy, free transmission of thought at a distance of thousands of kilometers. The last chakra is "power over the mind of a stranger" - a literal quote from the book. You, in the literal sense of the word, can read thoughts, all hidden fears, ambitions and desires. Still looks delicious, right? You can even rewrite a person's mind, create yourself an ideal wife, friends, and whatever you want.

Honestly, the author of the book does not look like a Guru after the opening of the seventh chakra in any way. A brief history of his life is also written here. The name is not specified. Being a disciple of a Guru who comprehended the way of the spirit, he also wanted to discover the chakras in himself, but being not too pleased with the abilities bestowed, he decided to experiment, and what if he affected the chakra differently? The experiment was a success, the first chakra of the earth opened, which gave him completely different abilities, inspired by success, he opened further chakras without thinking about the consequences.

The opening of each chakra is a risk to yourself, you lose a certain feeling, each guru is not just a person, but a person with a will of steel, these are the wisest of people who have not lost themselves. The path of reason has abilities that neutralize the loss of feelings, being himself without emotions, the author purposefully caused them in people to feed off them, that is, he did not learn any lesson from the opening of the chakras. Being the smartest and knowing all the thoughts of his surroundings, he began to harden his heart, not finding real feelings from people close to him, he just made them what he would like them to be. As a result, the author committed suicide, before destroying all the records, only this book has been preserved, which only describes the author's abilities and history, exactly how to tear off the chakras in this way, not a word here.

The last book tells about the path of the body. I called this path to myself superman on minimalki. Each new chakra makes you like a cultivator who has been baptized by lightning, cleansed himself in a volcano, and so on and so forth. The first chakra of the earth gives strength to the body, incredible flexibility, increases endurance, increases reaction speed, that is, comprehensively improves the body. The second chakra of water helps to increase immunity, diseases and poisons are no longer terrible. The third chakra of fire gives a qualitative leap to all the senses, perfect vision, sensitive hearing, acute sense of smell. The fourth chakra of the air opens super intuition, you can even call it a small gift of foresight. The fifth chakra of sound gives full control over your body, down to the smallest particle, hormone production, blood circulation, bones, muscles and more. The sixth chakra cleanses the body and the genotype of all the toxins that have accumulated in the case of the body during your lifetime, and in the case of the genotype of the life of your ancestors, that is, it searches for and activates only the best that is hidden in your body.

The last seventh chakra grants super regeneration and physical immortality, regeneration allows you to repair any damage if the brain is intact. I guess I'm not afraid of having my head blown off, it's just for ordinary people, the brain is responsible for all actions, I can think like a spirit, the brain has a secondary role, so if I have time to restore the body, then it's not scary. Of course, we will not check this in practice. Physical immortality is stopping the aging of the body as a whole, yes, you can be killed, but you definitely won't die of old age.

It was this way that I liked the most, here, when opening the chakras, emotions are lost only for a short time, and do not completely disappear, a lot of emphasis is placed on preparing your body, or should I say not preparation, but self-torture, maybe the author of this work was a follower of the Power of Youth of Maito Guy?

I didn't even have to think which way I would choose. The way of the spirit is the power that I have, immediately disappears. The path of reason doesn't even have instructions, and I wouldn't choose it, it's too risky, I want to live my life more colorful and unpredictable. There remains the Path of the Body, the book that I read choking with saliva. And I wanted to say wrap two at once, please.

The next week I continued to fantasize about how I would put enemies in awe, how girls would hang on me, and how suddenly my mother's waters broke?!

Well, hello new world, be gentle, you're my first.
