Back Home, Into The Sky!

THE MIRROR

 

  At night, in a dream, I soared high above the camp and saw the pyramids far on the south. They were attracting me.

  In the morning it turned out that I got up later than everyone else. Even mom somewhere disappeared. Maria was not in the camp too. And Oleg was I did not know where. I wondered where everybody was.

  I went in search of. Came ashore. And saw under one of the trees our Grand Master. His eyes were fixed into the distance. It seemed that his mind was somewhere far away, but here was only his body. I stood and looked at him.

  Suddenly I felt someone's presence. Looked back - next to me was Ryan. He was looking past me at the Master. Now his look even more than yesterday expressed eternal devotion. I did not really like it, but I understood its origins.

  - Nastya, I beg you, do not distract the Master now. He has a very important work. He communicates with the Higher now.

  - There are Higher than he is? - I stammered.

  - They are the ones who are more advanced than we are.

  I did not catch in the words and intonations of Ryan any shadow of malevolence toward me. Now he seemed to me more familiar than before. He looked as a common man. The way, as he tried to fix something that once made, did him honor. And who did not make mistakes? Only who did not live. At least, I began to trust him.

  Of course, I did not get in the way and went with Ryan. He took me for a walk. By the way, I told him my dream, how I saw the pyramids, and how I was drawn to them.

  - Pyramids - it's not an easy place - Ryan replied, - The Place of Power. There contact and meet face-to-face the Light and Darkness. For beginners in magic there can be dangerous. Such regions in the world are not so many. I would not recommend to go there alone.

  To distract me from my intention to visit the Giza right now, Ryan created two unicorns. And all day we amused, riding on them. Mine was obedient, but the Ryan’s always strove to throw the rider.

  In the evening returned mom and Maria. Traveled by car (yes, it turns out, they had a car there!). They were to the nearest town. Well, what can you do, women can’t live without shopping, even in a wilderness.

  The rest have not arrived. Maria said that they flew to the Himalayan Abode, where lived most of the people like them. Promised to return soon. Oleg flew with them.

  Grand Master continued to meditate under the palm trees and communicate with someone above us. Ryan had gone to sit at his feet. So the three of us had dinner, as had lunch yesterday.

  Went to bed.

  And I immediately got out of the body. Awareness was very strong, as it was then with Oleg. Maria took care of my mother's soul, I noticed both hovering above the hut.

  I soared higher above the sea, hoping to see the pyramids. Like last night, they glow in the south.

  - Do you want to go there?

  Feeling the familiar information-flow I turned around. It was Ryan.

  - Ryan?

  - Yes.

  - But you said that it is dangerous and I'm too inexperienced.

  - Alone, yes. But you can fly with me.

  I did not hesitate for a long time. The desire to see, what attracted me so, won fears.

  - How will we reach there? I slowly fly.

  - Do not worry. Clasp my back.

  I did just that. It was like the familiar reunion with the body of Oleg. However, I did not feel the former proximity. But this fact did not prevent the technical side of things. We rushed. Flew very quickly and got to Giza for a couple of minutes.

  Beautiful was the Egyptian desert at night. Pyramids were backlit and they looked amazing. Like the landscape of another planet. On subtle levels I immediately felt some tension there, hovering in the atmosphere. As if during a thunderstorm. Here and there flashed some sparks, glowing lines, shadowy figures. Several times I noticed the spheres-stars of the team of friends of Oleg. Perhaps there was something going on, but I have not noticed the explicit battle. Over the pyramid into the sky was rising a column of light, and not only on the subtle levels, but also in the physical layer.

  - Do you know what would like to see here? Or do you not have a clear plan? - Ryan asked.

  I began to listen to myself, my inner feelings.

  Strange, but the desire to fly here, before this so sharp, decreased now. As if the fact that I was here, my consciousness perceived as half made deal. But what attracted me?

  I shared these thoughts with Ryan.

  He briefly summarized:

  - Clear. No plan. Then let me be your guide.

  - Of course.

  - I'll show you my favorite places. Just follow me.

  I did just that. Soon appeared the Sphinx, mysterious and majestic. We flew past it, and I was struck by its enormous size.

  We headed to the pyramid next to the Sphinx, I did not know its name...

  - This is the Pyramid of Khafre - said Ryan on the go.

  We came through the entrance and found ourselves in a dark long corridor, which was leading down. I vaguely remembered that somewhere there must be a tomb, but did not know exactly where, below or above. Then we were faced with a locked door, and Ryan just took me by the arm and dragged through it. The feeling was rather neutral, but I would not want to do it consistently. The next few such obstacles also did not stop us. And finally, we ended up in a fairly large room. It was empty.

  - Is this the tomb? Here do you like to be?

  - "No" to the first question and "yes" to the second.

  - And what interesting is here?

  - Listen to yourself. Maybe you also wanted to get exactly here.

  I looked into the consciousness. Hmm, really, inner call almost faded away. As if I have reached the goal.

  - You see, - Ryan noted. - This is a special place. Here there is something that will make you stronger.

  Here's how, so it means that this visit here was planned. A vague dissatisfaction, close to suspicion began to stir in me. But curiosity prevailed.

  - And what is that?

  - Mirror.

  - Mirror? I never thought that some mirror can do me mightier.

  - Not some, but a special. This is a very powerful magical amulet of the Light Forces. All in a row do not use it.

  - Yes, only such highly developed beings like you! - I said ironically.

  - In vain you laugh. Anyone who knows how to use it, it will help to see and defeat all the hidden fears in the path to enlightenment. You'll be able to step far ahead.

  - Oleg told me that we should not hurry in the questions of development. Everything must run its course.

  - You decide. But you'll miss a good opportunity. And I would now help you look in the mirror, because you yourself can’t use it properly.

  I still hesitated.

  And then Ryan threw the last trump.

  - After all, you love Oleg. You will be as he, or almost. Will be traveling with him, not as a burden but as an equal.

  I really did not like this conversation. Perhaps it would be better now to turn around and fly back to the camp. But something inside, some little voice kept saying, "Yes, yes, agree! Such a chance!"

  And I gave up. And why not? I'd venture. It's Ryan suggests, the disciple of the Grand Master and not someone unfamiliar. Although one day he had already betrayed, but now everything is different...

  - Well, - I agreed.

  Apparently, I was very much loved Oleg and wanted to be to him as closely as possible. Not loved as a brother, as was supposed, but as a man, it was natural for a human, but not for future space wanderer. For there, in the Sky, it is not necessary to procreate.

  - And where is the mirror?

  - Here it is, have you not noticed? - Ryan pointed to the right, into the corner.

  There really was something glistened. In my opinion, there was nothing there when we entered. However, it was very dark to judge for sure. And I felt that I still had a bias against Ryan.

  I went to the mirror. At first glance
, it was usual. Although, as soon as I started to peer, its surface began to shine stronger.

  Ryan was already standing nearby.

  - What we need to do?

  - Look deeper, just look...

  His voice was mesmerizing me.

  And I began to see.

  At first, nothing happened. Just my reflection. Then its surface was covered with a strange haze, there flashed some shadows. I leaned forward. And then it seemed to me that someone was watching me. The sensation was so pronounced, that I began to tremble. In the mirror, there was a maelstrom that throbbed and attracted me. It began to spin. Trying to keep track glance of its rotation I felt dizzy. And suddenly, I saw there Oleg... He held out his hand to me. Forgetting where I was, stretched out my hand in response. Where I touched the mirror, I did not feel a hard surface. The hand passed like through the water. But that did not stop me. I felt the hand of Oleg. He pulled me, I stepped forward... and stepped into the darkness. As soon it happened, something strongly pushed me, and I began to fall...
