24 Slowly each person acknowledged that they could see The
Light. "Good," complimented The Old Fox., "by now
it should be as big as your hand." All nodded in agreement.
25 "Now, I want all of you, except Silver Fox, to open your
eyes, gently, quietly." All obeyed. "Now Silver
Fox," The Teacher instructed, "let The Light grow
bigger until it fills all your vision. Images will begin to
appear, and when they do I want you to tell me what they
are."
26 For many minutes Silver Fox sat silent. "I do not
understand, Teacher," he explained, "It is as if I have
my eyes open. I can see everyone in the room, but there are
strange things, also. I can see you, but it is as if you are
sitting in a golden bowl made of glass and a golden thread of
light is coming out of you and going to each of us. There is also
a golden light coming from us going to you. And about the circle
the golden light flows. As you said, it goes completely around us
and curves above us meeting just short of the ceiling. But it is
not like what covers you. It is like fire. I fear if I touched it
I would be burned!
27 About each person is a bowl like yours, but they are not as
bright. Some are barely visible, while some indeed, are quite
bright. I see these things," he admitted, "but I do not
understand their meaning. Tell me, Lord, what do they mean?"
28 "Spirit is showing you what I spoke of. You see our
sacred Light and you also see The Power Of Spirit surrounding us
as I have told you it would. Little Yellow Blossom," said
The Old Fox, "trade places with Red Fox. Red Fox...sit where
she sits." The two quickly obeyed. "Now, Silver
Fox," The Old Fox continued, "tell us what you
see."
29 "Strange things!" Silver Fox told him. "The
Light around Little Bay Blossom and Little Sweet Blossom has
changed! It is now not like a bowl, but like flowing water. And
on the side where they are next to each other, it keeps jumping
back toward their bodies. It is the same between me and Red
Fox." 30 "What about the energy flowing around
us?" asked The Old Fox.
31 "That also has changed. Where it once flowed smoothly it
is now like an angry river. It seems to smooth out after it
passes the two women, but as soon as it reaches Red Fox and I, it
again starts to boil."
32 "Now do you understand the purpose of the circle?"
The Old Fox asked. "Return to your places," he told his
other students. After they had sat down The Old Fox spoke.
"Silver Fox was still unsure. He did not understand what
Spirit was saying, so They showed him without question, the
reason why the circles must be thus. Do all of you
understand?" Everyone in the circle nodded.
33 "Then we will go on," The Old Fox announced.
"Silver Fox, clear your mind. Valley Blossom Crow, close
your eyes. As Silver Fox opens his, The Light will come to you.
Tell us what you see."
34 "I see a foggy darkness," Valley Blossom told them.
"I am passing through it. I see a beautiful place where
there are fine houses. I see another place. There are cottages
and houses here, too, but they seem gray and dark. I see two men
inside one of the houses. They are dressed only in loin cloths.
They come to each other and embrace. I think they are kissing.
Suddenly there is a bright flash, like fire, and it is like
someone has thrown them away from each other, and they both
strike the walls. One gets up and staggers weeping, to the bed,
and the other walks outside. He looks up to the sky and cries
'Gods of the heavens, why do you punish us? Leave us alone!'
There is a bed made outside the house on a small porch. He goes
to it and lies down.
35 Now, I am back in The Place of The Light by a beautiful little
house. I see a man and woman inside. They, also, are embracing
and kissing, but a light grows around them. It swims and flows
with their joy. It seems to go in and out of each of them. It is
a very beautiful sight. Now, they are going towards their
bed." Valley Blossom opened her eyes. "Lord," she
protested, "it is not proper for me to watch this! I am
seeing private things that others should not observe!"
36 "It is all right," The Old Fox told her, "The
Lords Themselves, would have shut the curtain soon. There is a
reason for what you are seeing."
37 "I am not sure," the woman said. "I do not want
to see any more. The Lords have shown me enough . I understand
The Law now. I see no reason. I am embarrassed seeing these
things. I do not wish to see any more."
38 "I believe," argued The Old Fox, "there are
still doubts in your mind. Close your eyes again. Look once
more."
39 Valley Blossom did as she was told. "I see in this
world," she continued. "I see two men embracing. I can
see inside them. It is like they are on fire inside. Now they are
going behind a curtain, and some time has passed. Now, they are
emerging. They seem happy on the outside, even greatly pleased.
But inside, the fire is brighter. It leaps out at every person
they come near, male or female, thrusting itself against their
Light and being pushed away.
40 Now, I see a man and a woman together. They, too, are
embracing, but the fire inside them is swimming together,
merging. They, too, are going behind the curtains. After some
time has passed, they emerge. They are truly pleased, and the
fire inside them is almost gone. It burns quietly, peacefully.
Now, The Light is fading. It is just a dim spark again." She
opened her eyes and looked at The Old Fox. "Teacher,"
she asked, "could it be the same with women as well as
men?"
41 "Exactly so," The Old Fox told her. "Explain to
the others what you have seen, and why."
42 "I had doubts," she admitted, "about The Law Of
Spirit saying that men could not lie with men, or women with
women. I thought Spirit was wrong. I saw no harm in it, as long
as they did not bother others. Now I understand. The soul is
different just like the body. The soul of a woman is made to
match the soul of a man and the soul of a
