About a certain return

Part 18

It was not like that. I never learned incantations because I didn't believe they affect something and I do neither believe now. Some words! That can't change events, things, or anything else! I went on the corridor, around the corner I saw a staircase... downwards. On the right-hand side there was a door... an empty room with a hole in the floor, badly smelling... like the loo! I felt so dizzy. I... I... I saw suddenly a young man coming towards me. He gets close. "Is it me? The wall is a mirror!"

– You are inside the oracle room, spoke to me the image in the mirror. The oracle is in your room... The World is in your room. The Room is your word. Everything you got doesn't belong to you...

I think that's what he told me. As far as I can remember, from the hole in the floor, a whitish smoke was bellowing, then yellowish... white... yellow...

What bla-bla was I saying there?

– Tell me good prophet, what will be my future... I dreamt I had a home, I had a lover, my lover was a woman, that my son is now a daughter, that... now I am a man. I brought a bird as an offering and my virginity ring, I'm worthy and cast...

– What did she say? Please, repeat... Who are you? Who are you? What do you want to tell me? The fortress...? Seven are one and one is seven, and two out of four are one out of two. What must we understand? What...?

– My name is Adelia. I work for a living at the Gorban's tin factory. I have been thrown away from Gramon's Temple. I think I'm still pretty, I would go back there even threatened by death, as others got back. I had a dream but do not know my luck. What do you advise me to do, or what does the goddess say, mighty prophet?

My voice changed, it become lower and I was coughing. And the chap in the mirror was waving like the smoke...

– The great Master, The Genitor? Ha-ha-ha!

– The answer is beyond you...

I meant my understanding. Who was this Genitor? What business did Orian have with this Genitor? I never found out.

– I thank you most kind Prophet. Look, here I left the offerings! Oh, but it's stinking here! Yes? Thank you..., repeated the woman...

„Which is beyond what? I don't understand a thing. Seven out of two that make five. Ah! There are four of us... Me and my mother's ghost... I came to... where are you mum?"

– I'm called Mania and I have been incarcerated in this world because I'm mad. My mind flew away like a bat and set on the great tower's spire. I threw stones at it and kept on booing but it doesn't want to come down from there. Tell me, how I can get my mind back. Nobody loves me anymore...

– It leaves in the Tower of Clear Sight! From there it can fell the Endlessness, can become immortal... It might awake in you a being prepared for other experiences...

– It has no door, great Prophet... How can it get in?

– Go away you mad woman!

– But how can it get in back? Where through...?

– Make a hole so that it can get in!

– Hee-hee-hee! The oracle becomes more fool than me...! Hee-hee-hee...!

– The stars can be seen from the tower. They are countless and named "masters of light"... They take the whole space, they are the light... There is a target for your trip, the Great Immobility, the Perfect Meditation, when all that happens will be within you, and within you all it happens.
