cried out, alarmed.
    ‘Let go. Have fun. You can’t hurt yourself here,’ Green said, and after completing a few cartwheels, spun like a Catherine wheel firework until Black was certain he must be utterly dizzy, but he wasn’t. His bright, radiant form laughed and shot off in the opposite direction. Black began tumbling then soaring after him. He had never felt so happy or alive in all his life. He couldn’t even blink; who would’ve thought he could fly? With an indescribable euphoria he projected himself forward at great speed. It was amazing.
    Ahead Green came to a sudden standstill. Black found that he too was easily able to accomplish the abrupt stop. He parked himself right next to Green and grinned. Green tucked his arms to his body and raced head first toward a twinkling star. ‘Look at me,’ he shouted. ‘I’m a shooting star.’
    Black plunged down to join him, marveling at and reveling in the closeness he felt toward Green. Amazing how quickly he had lost his awe for Green. Replaced by an intense but old love. He was his only friend.
    Green executed an elegant half-roll. ‘Are you ready to begin your initiation?’
    Black copied him and nodded.
    Green made a circling motion with his hand and suddenly, a few hundred miles away, an incredible celestial orb came into view. It was full of gigantic structures, monoliths, pyramids, towers, crystalline domes, and steps leading to buildings with massive entrances.
    ‘Wow! How did you do that?’
    ‘It was always there. You simply needed to be dimensionally shifted to perceive it.’
    ‘What planet is that?’
    ‘That’s your moon.’
    Black was astonished. He knew the moon as a gray and deserted entity. This was a full color, and obviously inhabited piece of real estate.
    ‘There are many things that are hidden from humankind. But, for now, focus your attention on planet Earth and the area surrounding her.’
    Black looked behind him. Many thousands of miles away Earth sparkled with breathtaking beauty; a blue and green jewel in the velvet blackness, all the details very clear. But as his focus sharpened he observed something very strange. The planet was glowing brightly and pulsating. In many places it appeared almost liquid. Every once in a while flares of dazzling light shot out. Sometimes they died down; sometimes they became even brighter and began to spread. It reminded him of a great forge where things were being shaped.
    ‘What is happening to it?’
    ‘Earth is not an ‘it’, but a sentient being who is in the process of evolving into the highest, most magnificent aspect of her being. She is being blasted with cosmic beams of intense energy and information so that light will be reinserted into her. Pay attention to her surrounding.’
    When Black did, he noticed that for many miles around Earth countless millions of beings were suspended. Some were very large, miles long, and had shape. Others were simply formless wisps of grayish smoke, but every one of them was glowing in various degrees of intensity with the same light that was coming from Earth. He had the distinct impression that they were all waiting for something to happen. That sense of anticipation was so great that he perceived their collective expectation as the crackle in the air of an audience waiting for the start of a rock concert.
    ‘Why have they collected around the Earth?’
    ‘They have manifested from nearby energy systems, although not necessarily from your time reference, to witness, as you rightly perceived it, a very rare and exciting performance. Such an event will also signal their own upliftment. All your ancient civilizations foretold of this end-time.’
    ‘Oh! The Mayan prophesy. Is the world really going to end on the twenty-first of December?’
    ‘The world is not going to end - there are too many interested parties to allow such a thing to happen. It is not a date, but a season. In earth time, an eight-year process. An alchemical kingdom is about to be
