I am a man and I have a friend in the form of a little worm-like creature. We are both in our late teens and occasionally share ideas that can make all of us benefit from the same experiences, even if it is just to gather some information about the world around us. We are aware that we can also gather some more power for ourselves by discovering the secrets hidden in this world. But this is not at the centre of our intentions; we want to help each other for a common goal regardless of our individual power levels.
This is the story of how I came in contact with a unique sphere that granted me the first glimpse into the real mysteries of this world.
I happened to trip on the grass on the lawn of our secondary school one day in December when many children were preparing for the Christmas holidays. This was just around the time of the annual winter holiday that brings so many reminders as to what is ultimately our true calling.
I didn't realise that I had stumbled on something new. You must understand that this was only a few days before the first day of our term, which is another extraordinary benchmark of the year that was to soon pass, and then we would soon follow that milestone with the beginning of our spring holidays. I didn't know about the true significance of my discovery until many days later.
When I realized that I had fallen on something hard and pointed I tried to pick it up. It was not really my intention to cause any harm to this mysterious object, so I gently shook the item before me to see if it would fall off of its own accord.
The crystalline object was round, a little larger than a tennis ball, but with a clear translucent centre. With each passing second, I was beginning to gather more knowledge about what this mysterious object actually was.
I soon realized that the term 'sphere' was an appropriate way to refer to an object that is so unique and extraordinary. I knew that it was a sphere, but this was not obvious simply because it did not have the appearance of something spherical; it was more like a flattened sphere. This was not a regular sphere, this was one that was somehow cut in half to allow for the smooth transition of the two halves following each other in the same direction.
As I tried to pick up this miraculous sphere, it did not move from its own accord so I wrapped my hand around its surface.
My body reacted almost immediately to this particular sphere, my mind and soul went silent, the world went dark. Soon I found myself in another world, the world of manifestation. I did not know the name of this place, but I knew that it was the origin of all that exists in the universe. The origin of the dreams and the result of our true desires. In an instant, my mind was shocked to find that the world I was facing looked up at me. The objects around me transformed to fitting images of our ordinary world, then slowly changed to reflect the true nature of the world that I was standing in. I felt as though I was seeing the world for the first time, without the preconceptions that we have as to what is normal, or normalcy.
It was like every part of my existence was brought to the fore like a curtain rising in the theatre.
