Another Vision

A hollow crystalline shape composed of two triangular forms materialized in Marai's constant stream of visions. Set tip to tip, these moved together and through each other forming another different and more complex shape with many emerging shapes. He'd seen it in his studies as a beginning equation for the Flower of Life, the symbol of the divine feminine as it intersected the divine masculine and formed unity or oneness. The final shape rolled towards him and halted as if he was expected to step into it. Although instinct told him to avoid it, the sight of heavenly prisms like the interior of the vessel of the Children of Stone was too beautiful to resist. Soon, the sharp, harsh edges of the shape softened and the shape began to resemble the glowing sleep pod in which he had rested for so many years with the Children. As if he felt all of the passion of Naibe's breath on his face when they loved, Marai felt himself drifting above his own body and settling into the double shape. It enclosed him and transformed into a flying throne inside two wheels. That image triggered another deeper memory.
The weightlessness he had felt in the faraway sleep pod all those years ago returned to the forefront of his thoughts. A spinning sensation overtook him and all care suddenly fell away. Rays of light sifted through the shape, bending through and inside him, and then streamed out of the other side of his body in rainbow colors. He felt as if he had grown large enough to incorporate all of life and time itself in his heart.

“O beautiful one, Asher-ellit;
Immaculate one of the goddesses,
Torch of Heaven and earth,
Radiance of all the lands,
Goddess ‘Lady of Heaven',
First-begotten of Sin,
First-born of Ningal,
Sweet sister of Shamas
O Asher-Anu, you rule the heavens;
O Queen of Morning and Evening Sky,"
“Come bless me this starry night.
Shine for one who begs to serve you.
Come bless me this starry night."

When he sang his song to her as he lay dreaming...he understood that he had indeed been blessed.Children of Stone: Voices in Crystal
