The Seventh Chakra

by J. R. Bowles

  “Why did you say we were the six hundred and sixty sixth descendent of pure linage of Cain, Able and Seth?” Zolar finally asked his father.

  “Zoe, we were brought up as Christians and sometimes it's hard to readapt to new learning when your foundation has already be laid. As a doctor and a scientist, I know about the two theories of the creation of the universe but your mother and I are believers in the third theory of creation.” He paused for Zolar's response.

  “The third theory.” Zolar wrinkled his brow in thought. “I don't recall having heard of the third theory?”

  “The third theory is the Creationist Theory. That's what we believe.”

  “Oh, I forgot about that one. I just think of it as being a myth since there's no scientific evidence to even indicate it is true.”

  “Well, scientific or not, that's what we believe. Ing use to tell us when we argued about it, that it was a matter of perspective. It all depends on where you stood and looked at it as to how much truth you could actually see.”

  “Perspective.” Zolar nodded. “That word seems to be popping up lately.”

  His father nodded back. “Well if you think very hard about it all, all three are the same. It's just that some aspects of it can't be seen unless we open our minds up and take a three hundred and sixty degree view of the thing. The Steady State, the Big Bang and the Creationist theory if you sit back and look at it completely, it's all the same.”

  “But that's impossible. They're so different in their definition of how it started or how they end.” Zolar argued and then added. “Well when I think about it I can see how the Big Bang and the Creationist Theory relate. I saw it last night as a matter of fact. I just hadn't been calling it the Creationist Theory. I guess I made the mistake of calling it the Judeo-Christian Theory, but I guess it's the same thing. I just don't see how those two can be related to the Steady State?”

  “Son I can't tell you that. Truth is something you have to experience. When you only learn the fundamentals of truth without experiencing it, then it is only a theory. But when you experience it, then and only then is it the truth.”

  “I still don't understand the possibility of the 666th thing. That's a lot of generations but the universe is billions of years old. With only 666 generations that's less than, even if we say a generation is 30 years, that's not even 20,000 years. The earth it's self is billions of years old and the universe is older than that.”

  “Ah, but we just spoke about that. Time like everything else is dependent on perspective. It can be the distance from point A, to point B. It can be dependent on the speed traveled from A, to point B. Take for example the fact that our galaxy, the Milky Way, is moving through the universe. Now think about how our solar system is moving within our galaxy. Then think about the speed our planet is circling our sun. Earth, solar system, galaxy, all moving. Yet you and I sit here and talk for only fifteen minutes. Since we have began our talk we have probably moved millions of miles and yet we are sitting in the same place. It is only perspective and perspective is all relative to what reference point we use when we begin.”

  Zolar watched his father intently in respect and awe. His father reached out and tapped a near by table.

  “Now take that table there. Think about the number of atoms in motion within that table. Those atoms' electrons and protons are spinning around it's nucleus, a nucleus that we're still learning about. Those atoms are in motion bonding together to form molecules and those molecules binding to form the table as we see it. All in motion, but to us they are still. What is it? It's all perspective. No more, no less. That's why we believe you are the 666th generation from Cain, Able and Seth. It our perspective.”

  Zolar shook his head. “I guess,” he sighed, “but I just don't see it. Why Cain, Able and Seth, why the 666th?”

  “Zoey,” his father spoke his childhood nick name, “the best records we can find come from the Cherokee nation. It was all handed down from one generation to the other that each thirty years on the very spot in which the eight of you were born the same thing happens. The eight of you make up the 666th time that this has occurred at that same location.”

  “But why Cain?”

  “It is believed that when Cain was cursed by God for killing his brother he was sent away. He took with him his own children and children from both of his brothers Able and Seth. They migrated to the American when the supercontinent land mass of Pangaea existed. The early scientist believed that the Native Americans migrated across the Bering Strait.

  Although that's not what the Cherokee Nation has passed down from generation to generation in secret. They believe that when Africa was part of Gondwanaland, it was all attached to Laurasia which broke up and formed Europe and North America.”

  “But Dad, the Supercontinent broke up 225 million years before man is known to have existed?” Zolar argued. “How can we be the 666th generation descendent of Cain, if we assume a generation is 30 years, that's a hell of a lot less than 20,000 years!”

  His father looked at him somewhat perturbed. “Didn't your mother and I teach you not to swear?”

  “Uh, sorry Dad.” His father was still doing it. He always made him feel like a child.

  “To answer your question, the key word you use is assume. If you think about perspective you have to keep an open mind. First, of all we might assume that Homosapien's life generation is 30 years but I never said that Cain was a Homosapien, did I?”

  “Oh,” Zolar said as he realized where his father was headed with this.

  “The decedents of Cain started long before man existed. The life that you are now, existed long ago in other life forms. It has evolved too where it is a thinking Homosapien.”

  Zolar rolled his neck around on his shoulders thinking about what his father had said. It all fell in line, he half heartily thought. He smiled as he thought about it. The first man, Adam should really be called Atom and atoms formed the first one cell creator. That was Adam and when that one cell creator reproduced it split in half. And Eve came from Adam's side. Oh well, he shrugged, that was neither here nor now. Then he remembered the question he wanted to ask his father.

  “Dad, earlier you said there was an Indian woman that gave birth. She was one of the eight.”

  His father nodded. “Yes a pretty Cherokee woman, gave birth to a little girl. The woman's father had brought her in that night.”

  “But none of the eight are Cherokee.” Zolar protested but thought about Mindy. Was it possible? “Although Jamal, one of the centers, has a girl friend that maybe Cherokee.”

  “I don't think so son, I kept in touch with her grandfather for quite a few years, he is a good man, but he told me about fifteen years ago that the girl had been killed. I can't quite remember how he said she died but he told me she died. I remember that because I had wondered how that was going to affect the rest of you seven.”

  “She was replaced by a woman named Morgan.” Zolar shook his head. “Seems strange though. To find out that one of the centers was an Indian and the girl friend of one of the centers is an Indian. It's just to much of a coincidence. And I'm slowly beginning to believe that there's no such thing as the word coincidence.”

  “I don't know son. I can't help you there. Now it's my turn to ask questions.” His father said.

  “Fair enough.”

  “What's going to happen tonight?” His father looked at him gravely.

  “I wished I knew Dad, I wished I knew.”

  CHAPTER 63

  The phone rang in Morgan's room. It's about time she thought. She had tried to call her parent's and had left a message on their recorder to call her back.

  “Hello.” She said as she brushed her hair away from her ear.

  “Hi darling.” Came her mother's soothing voice.

  “Hi mom. I'm so glad you called.”

  “Why didn't you tell us you were going to be in town? Did they change your flying route?”

  “No, I'm still on the same route. It's part of the
Avatar's opening, mom.”

  “Oh,” her mother said meekly. “I hadn't forgot. I guess I just didn't want to think about it. Are you okay? Did he hurt you?” She emphasized the word he, with a grimace of disgust.

  “Mom, I'm fine and he's wonderful and you know his name is John.” Her mother had originally objected to the idea that she was to be John's virginal sacrifice.

  “When are you coming up here to see us?” Her mother said deliberately changing the subject.

  “Soon I hope but I need to talk to Daddy right now if he's there.”

  “He's standing right here staring daggers at me. He wants to talk to you to honey. I'm going to give you to him now. I love you.”

  “I love you too Mom.”

  “Hi baby.” Her father's strong bass voice came through the receiver.

  “Hi Dad.”

  “Well how's everything going?”

  “Is Mom still in the room with you?”

  “Yes.”

  “I have some questions I need to ask and I know how she gets upset when we talk about this. I really need to talk to you.”

  “I understand, just a minute.” She hear her father ask her mother if she would fix him a sandwich and get him some milk.

  “Okay,” her father said, “she's gone, now we can talk. What's wrong?”

  “Nothing I can put my finger on Dad, it's just some strange things have been happening. Things I hadn't expected.”

  “What kind of things?”

  “Several deaths. It's all so weird. What I wanted to know is how I became a substitute. I was told that the woman I replaced had gone crazy. I just wanted to know more about it and if you knew anything about her.”

  Her father was quiet for a moment. She started to asked him if he was still there when he spoke up.

  “Morgan,” she heard him pause and clear his throat. “When you were young I got a call from my father's third cousin. His granddaughter had been the one who's place you took. She hadn't gone crazy, well not exactly crazy. What happen was that when she was told that she would have to maintain her virginity for the Avatar she rebelled. She went out and sleep with the first person she could find. That was when we first became initiated into the old esoterical faith. Normally because we are so mixed, with so little Cherokee blood in us, they wouldn't allow us in. The problem was that with the times the way they were they couldn't find a virgin to replace her. They kept going down the line of blood linage.”

  “But why did we become involved Dad?” She almost whined but realized it and didn't allow herself to.

  “Morgan, after what you have seen and learned, I'm surprised that you need to ask that question.” He answered lovingly. “I know it's been difficult, but you know we love you.”

  “I know Dad and I love you too. It's just that this has been so strange and frightening. It wasn't what I expected. It's more. I thought the Avatar would save the world from pollution, war and all of that.” She shook her head as if he could see her. “It's not like that Dad. There's something going to happen to night and I'm frightened. I believe John is going to die. He almost as much said he was and I don't know what to do.”

  “You can't do anything. Remember the saying, as above, so below. What happens in the material world also happens in the spiritual world of energy.”

  “Thanks Dad. I was wondering, do you know what that girl's name was?”

  “Let me see.” He paused as he searched his memories. “It seems her name meant Song Bird. I think, if I recall it's Mendiceskia.

  “Mendiceskia.” Morgan repeated. “Mendiceskia., Mindy! Oh, my. Dad thank you that's just what I had suspected.”

  “Suspected?”

  “It's a long story, hopefully I can tell you later.”

  “Hopefully?” He repeated.

  “Dad I can't go into it now. Trust me. I love you and tell Mom I love her to. I got to go. Bye bye.”

  “Bye.” She heard her father say as she placed her finger on the hang-up switch. She then dialed the front desk.

  “Front desk.”

  “Mr. Fleuric's room please.”

  “I'll ring it for you, and if you want to dial him later just add a 6 in front of the room number.” The young girl said pleasantly.

  “Thank you.” Morgan answered. She heard the phone ring five, six, seven, where was he? She hung up the phone and looked at her watch. Two hours until they met in front of the hotel. Should she go out and look for John?

  CHAPTER 64

  The time passed slowly for them and at nine they started showing up in front of the hotel. Jackie was the first to show with Sally Ann in tow.

  “Where is everyone?” Sally Ann asked. “You said I would meet a bunch of people.”

  “We're early. I'm sure they will be down soon.” Jackie smiled down at the girl. They had spent the afternoon shopping and Sally Ann had happily agreed to take a bubble bath when they got back to Jackie's room. She hoped John had talked to Mindy about watching her.

  “Thank you again, Miss Jackie, for my most beautifulist clothes that I ever had.”

  “You're welcome, sweetheart. When Mr. John comes down would you want to give him a big hug and kiss? It was all his idea and he's the one that paid for them.”

  Her eyes widened and she grinned shyly. “I sure would. You don't think he would mind?”

  “Men always love to be kissed by a beautiful girl.” Jackie's eyes twinkled as she watched Sally Ann blush.

  “There's Mr. John now.” Sally Ann squealed and ran over to greet him. She crooked her index finger for him to lean over.

  “Who's this pretty girl.” John said as he leaned over.

  “It's me, Sally Ann,” she said hugging his neck and kissing him on the cheek.

  “You're gorgeous.” He complemented.

  “Oh, thank you Mr. John, thank you so much.”

  “Hi Jackie.” John greeted.

  “Isn't she pretty?” Jackie asked John and smiled at Sally Ann.

  “She sure is.” John smiled. “Sally Ann would you let another pretty woman watch you this evening?”

  Sally Ann tried to hide her disappointment but nodded.

  “I tell you what. Mindy will be here soon and you and her can walk with us for a while before she brings you back to the hotel to go to bed.” John offered noticing her lip pucker.

  “Okay.” She readily agreed. “Could I hold your hand, Mr. John?”

  “It would be my honor.” He said as he took hold of her tiny hand.

  Morgan was the next to come down. “Hi, John, Jackie and who is this pretty girl with you John?”

  “This is Sally Ann. Sally Ann this is Morgan.” John bent over and whispered to Sally Ann. “She's not married.”

  “Please to meet you Miss Morgan.” Sally Ann replied.

  “We're going to help Sally Ann find her parents. She's being alone for several weeks now.” John told Morgan.

  “Oh, poor baby, “ Morgan said, as she stooped down and gave Sally Ann a hug.

  “Mindy's going to watch Sally Ann while we're out.” John told Morgan as she stood back up.

  “Good.” Morgan said. “I need to talk to you alone for a moment.” She turned to Jackie. “Jackie, I'm not being rude and it's not about you. It's just kind of personal.”

  “There's no need to explain yourself to me.” Jackie said. “Believe me I don't offend easily.” But she was wondering why Morgan was being so cryptic.

  John let loose of Sally Ann's hand and said. “We will be right back, honey.”

  John and Morgan walked several paces down the street and Morgan stopped and turned to him.

  “John,
it's about Mindy. I'm not sure but I think that she ... .”

  At that moment Mindy came out of the hotel carrying her kitten and hurried over toward them.

  “Hello everybody.” She greeted. “This must be Sally Ann.”

  “Hello.” Sally Ann replied.

  “I'm Mindy and this is Azid.” She rubbed the kitten under the chin and offered it to Sally Ann. “Would you like to hold him?”

  “Oh yes, he's so cute.” She said in delight.

  “We will be right back.” John said to Mindy as he took Morgan's arm to walk further down the street.

  “That's okay. I can tell you later.” Morgan said and thought to herself. “I must be wrong. She's so sweet and besides John has already arranged for her to be with Sally Ann. She won't even be at the opening. I'm just paranoid.”

  “Are you sure it will wait?” John asked.

  “I'm sure.” Morgan replied.

  Michael was next, followed begrudgingly by Thomas. John looked at the preacher to see if he looked drugged. He looked clear eyed. He guessed Michael must have found another way to persuade him to come along.

  They were soon joined by Jamal who just nodded to them and walked over to Mindy who had been talking with Sally Ann.

  Then Billy, Bernie and finally Zolar came out.

  “Hi guys.” John greeted and then turned to Zolar wondering if he had been able to get the drugs from Michael's room. “Zolar, where you able to look into that little matter we discussed earlier?”

  Zolar turned to Bernie. “Bernie?”

  “All taken care of and ready.” He answered as he patted his pocket lightly.

  John nodded.

  “Hey wait's going on around here?” Billy said.

  “Secrets” Jackie said teasingly. “Everybody's got secrets.”

  “Men talk.” Bernie said.

  Billy grabbed his crotch. “There's more man here than the rest of you put together.”
