The Touch of Eternity

“…That took place long time ago. Shaking off mists of Nonexistence youthful Earth had just risen out of Darkness of Timeless Silence. Star Family was numerous; some of the Brothers were appearing in the Light, while others were leaving for the Shadow. And there was neither end nor beginning to that Great Breathing of the Worlds. Fragrant Earth was blooming and rejoicing at the new life, but the time came for her to yield. And from the depth of her waters she gave birth to children. And Earth’s children stood up and began settling on the land. And they were angry and merciless as there was not any Heavenly Fire in their hearts that gave ability to love. And when they started to devour each other, - Earth was horrified by the imperfection of her creation.

And she turned to her Star Brothers and begged them not to leave her foolish children and to teach them Love and Compassion by passing them sparkles of Heavenly Fire. And Brothers took up the call – first, there were only seven of them, then many others joined. And they plunged into the dense layers of Earth and became the same dark, bloodthirsty and merciless. And Brothers went across Earth disappearing among Earth’s descendants, barely recognizing each other when meeting. But deep inside their hearts they kept those sacred sparkles and presented them generously to their new brothers. And, once having waked up, those sparkles exploded with the fire of great and whole-hearted Love…”
