Again I looked at the center. Again I saw the twelve balls exactly fitting around one. Slowly this form rotated. I saw that twelve equal sized balls always exactly fit around one. Twelve basketballs would fit around one. Twelve ping-pong balls would fit around one. I also saw that this occurred in two different patterns. First, on a flat surface, six balls fit around one in the center. Three balls can fit on top of this group of seven and three on bottom. But this can be done in two different ways. One way is where the tree balls on top, forming a triangle, point in the same direction as the three on the bottom. This has been the pattern most studied by mathematicians. At first it seems the most “regular” or balanced. The second way is where the triangle formed by the three balls on top is opposite the triangle formed by the three balls on bottom. This is the Star of David. Only on much closer inspection do you realize that this Star of David construction is more balanced than the other. It is balanced in more directions. You can only see this when you lok from many angles and see that it creates four rings of balls, the sign of the four, and that what was at first thought of an irregular, was the most regular and forceful of all. The four rings of six balls are The Four Beasts With Six Wings. This was the shape overlooked by those studying crystal formation. I was lost in my thoughts. “Solar Crystals,” said the voice of David. Yes, I thought, this is what I am looking at: a Solar Crystal. My mind started to race. “Slow down, Michael," said the voice of David. “Here is where I can really help. I am going to give you directly the best way to interface the Solar Crystal with other teachings. You would in time have developed the same interface yourself. Time, however, is what you do not have.” Something about the last statement was very exciting. Something about it was also very ominous. But I knew deep inside it was true. True that the very essense of history as we know it was running out; a sweet, sweet, sweet poison for the New Age's tooth. True that this clarion call was the last. For a moment the sky's dark foreboding gave a chill. Then it was as if the sky touched me with some deeper essence of David: “Michael, do not fear these changes. There is much to look forward to. Those on the right side of this Great Separation will find that “rapture” is not some fleeting bliss but the very real and ultimately substantial essensce of the eternal. Rapture is a very precise balancing of the elements of emotion that creates eternal life. From this rapture you can call back any yesterday, bid any time return.”   As he spoke I could feel other sky “selves” that were also a part of me. A feeling of impending great happiness washed away the fear.  |
