He wanders through the cavern ... with trepidation ... with a wary step
In total darkness, the human mind imagines all manner of things
Spectres and phantasms that lurk at each corner ... at every pitch and turn
The slightest sound magnified into the essence of raging insanity
Calming breathing and the splash of cold water breaks that spell ...
He hears a distant sound ... the snatch of a voice ... he stands still
Catching his breath ... for he is meant to be alone ... his quest is such
No manner of mortal entity will exist ahead of him ...
For the caverns lead deeper and deeper into the inner abyss.
For by deliberate spell ... cast over many months ... he created the doorway
Him ... alone ... nobody else aware of his clandestine adventure ...
Only he ... takes these steps into the great unknown ...
Earlier ... after overcoming the clinging fear ... the overwhelming doubt ...
His vision cleared ... and he recognised the place he found himself
The winding circular tunnel before him ... which lead onwards into the dark
A nagging presence in his consciousness reminded him ...
Wisdom speaking with certainty ... the cavern was once a way open to man
A thoroughfare through ... back in the forgotten aeons ... into the other realms
Realisation then ... his spell could not have been by chance ...
It had to be summoned simultaneously by another on this side of the portal
Another presence knew he ventured through these nether lands ...
The ‘interworld’ ... a timeless corridor through space ... a wormhole of thought
Leading onwards ... though to where?
Suddenly fearful ... scared he is but a pawn in a higher forces game
He thinks constructively then of the process which led him to now
The snatches of conversation in dreams ... and then the guided meditation
The written record of mental mediation ... as a force made itself known
Then the mantra ... the word repeated over and over ... the sound in his mind
That which a part of his mind (he took to be his own) told him to chant
Until it became an energy ... to project out of his forehead into his room
Weeks and weeks of deliberate projection and he became aware of change
An area of his room which appeared in different shadow to the rest ...
Then the projection through with his mind .... seeing the roadway
The acceptance of it all being true to suppress his logical mind
Then the night when he truly accepted and was able to step through
Into the ice cold realm of the cavern in the middle of nowhere ....
The voice returning breaking the orderly progress of his thoughts ...
A snatching recognition of the mantra ... spoken over and over
The chill then as invisible tentacles touch his face ... the burning itch
The panic of being trapped in an nowhere place .... the reality ....
Unable to reverse his steps for he knows not how ....
He turns a corner then ... in panic ... and sees a wraithlike light ahead ...
An unearthly glow ... he knows then he is no longer alone
Something unhuman awaits his presence to haunt him ...
To capture him and feast on his soul!
Most surely he has been trapped and tricked by a cunning Mage of shadow
He is untrusting then ... seeing the being loom closer ...
Its orange light becoming brighter and brighter ...
The paroxysm of fear complete ... he is spellbound and trapped
He knows then for sure life on other dimensions is real so very real ...
Then the voice issues forth from the air all around him
And he is like the child in the presence of the aged elder ...
He is crying ... he is on his knees ... he is madness personified ...
For before him stands a powerful being ... perhaps a god ...
A presence of complete and utter love ... he is speechless ....
Convinced then this is a messenger from the other side ... certain he has died
Then in gentle arms he is rocked and reassured ...
Wordlessly ... the presence leads him back the way he came
Towards the mantle of darker light which marks the boundary to earth
His passage back to the mortal realms is clear ... through gossamer he gazes
Seeing the safety of his bed ....
Instead ... he turns back to face the light ....
Sensing in turn his own vibration changing ... as his fear is overcome
Looking deeper into the light ... he sees a glowing figure there
A transparent humanoid presence which presently becomes more solid
The wisdom then in his mind ... as his vibration thus lifts ...
So he is thus able to reach the frequency of the other ....
‘Welcome my friend ... your arrival has been expected ...
For as surely as the stars are eternal ... it was written that you would come
Your spirit is wise and never forgets that which it has learned
In our latest expression a fibre of what was now becomes what is
Welcome ... know you and I have met many times before
Embrace that which once was which exists infinitely and see it is so ...
‘The doors lie open once more to the likes of you
For the frequency of the realms lift in accordance with the great design
Thus mankind recovers more of what is lost ... welcome
Come forth into the lands which exist beyond the forbidding
Recover that which was lost so you may return ...
And with additional light ... your spirit can soar onwards higher
Your studies shall return once more to what they were ......
Come friend and meet up with others you once knew but have forgotten
Be welcome in these shores which have long been closed to man ...
