☀️ Arselia and Akonia

— Oh, how interesting! — Li Jun chimed in. — Won't you tell us more? Perhaps this meeting will serve as good publicity for you!

— Thank you for your kind words. I wouldn't want my participation today to be perceived in that way, but I can't refuse if you have a genuine cultural interest. I come from afar, and it was a pleasant surprise to discover that our views on the structure of the world are fundamentally similar, which, in essence, implies their truth, because they are based on the immutable constants of the surrounding reality. However, many elements of my native tradition are dictated by the cultural aspects of the philosophical contemplation of existence, our historical development, and the peculiarities of our mentality... — for a certain, but relatively short, time, so as not to overwhelm the listeners, she explains the specifics of the Nihon faith, emphasizing its crucial similarities with the worship of Anush and explaining the cosmetic and some other, but not too drastic, differences with the appropriate cultural and historical context. — ...Thus, even having ended up in your cosmopolitan environment, if you will, which combines the presence of many cultures that are not entirely devoid of their own identity, spiritually I felt almost at home — even more so than in some regions of my homeland. This cannot but warm my heart. So, if possible, I would like to reciprocate your kindness with the same warmth. After the completion of the construction of my humble sanctuary, I would be happy to welcome all those interested in its cultural and spiritual content. This is the least I could do for worthy people, — a respectful bow to the listeners.

— I would also like to know, — Hector continued, — whether the point of view you expressed coincides with the tenets of your faith?

— Everything I have outlined during our discussion is, first and foremost, my own views, which I hold dear. But yes, indeed, — she nods. — The matters I have spoken about are given the status of the highest importance in my tradition, as something that requires a person to make serious, conscious efforts, sometimes even going against immediate comfort and benefit, but ultimately allowing him to preserve and maintain the honor and dignity of his own soul.
