PREFACE
“All those that were complete were given freewill and a right to choose but there are those who seek to pervert it, turning freewill into confusion and it is by such means that Kek seeks to succeed.” – Oasis, The First Traveller
Welcome to this realm young one, how was your journey here? Never mind I already know; for I am the eternal watcher, the witness, who recorded all events that were and will be. Where's here you ask? Your soul has awakened and transitioned, you have chosen to serve creation by working with the Travellers in this now, and this is their realm. I have watched the works of these Travellers and I have been asked to aid them by bringing you up to speed on their struggle. Who asked it? Your elder brother of course... I see... It may take sometime for the memories of all Travellers to enter your thoughts, so in the meantime perhaps I should tell you a bit about yourself and what is going on. You are a new born Traveller and Travellers serve creation by helping others and maintaining the balance, keeping the Orion Confederation in check. Oh right, the Orion Confederation is a group of planetary systems governed by the host of dissonance, those which the Travellers call Magets. They continue the work of their father, choosing to serve their own interests by removing all sentient creation from the incarnate realm.
Hold on! One question at a time. Let's see, loosely speaking a Maget is a demon that crosses fabrics and dimensions, and it can manifest itself in many forms. The Confederation do what they do simply because it was what their father did; their father didn't agree with the Father of Beginnings when he created other life and allowed it to continue creating. So their father, Kek, created his own children and they theirs, to populate the Cosmos with their begotten and thus end what is created; so that it may begin anew. The Father of Beginnings then decided to create the Guardians of the Cosmos to help protect creation and he made them eternal and their numbers were many. They made this realm their home and served the balance until their father went to sleep in order to continue the Cosmos. Then Kek, filled with jealousy and hate, attacked with his host and destroyed many Guardians, their cries awoke the Father of Beginnings and he banished Kek and his host to the chaotic realm, where there were things that were not; and the war was over. The Father gave them all laws to help protect creation but the children of Kek united with a host of planetary systems and became the Confederation. The Confederation felt Kek's rage like it was their own, and they thought that the laws took away their choice, their free will, in favour of other sentient creation. The Father of Beginnings decided to allow creation to defend itself and caused your elder brother into being, so that he may live in this realm and gather others around him to keep the balance. The Guardians were tasked with ensuring that Kek did not escape his prison and the Father of Beginnings returned to sleep. So it was that the Travellers came to be in this realm with the birth of your elder brother and it was he who asked me to meet you.
I expected confusion but it seems the effect of the Confederation's dissonance is worse than I thought, you don't remember your elder brother at all? Yes it's true you have just been born, but Travellers are born with many memories of all their kin... Ok, I will help you by telling you of events as I have recorded them, perhaps they will jog your memory...
A TALE OF ONE
“Within each of us is a seed and that seed is the key to it all, eternal life, transcendence, awakening, everything...” -- Dr. Leonardo Wilkinson
A young man walked through the streets and he pondered, considering times past; from times at distant shores to last night in a bar. It was dark at that time, in that region of space known as a Town. His path seemed mostly empty, but more often than not he reaches intersections, only to find his path intercepted by a lone cyclist or a solitary individual. He paused by a park filled with memories of events; some glorious in happiness, others gruesome in cruelty. Lifting his head he gazed at the stars. Three Kings, the wise men of the night looked down and their brethren shimmer in the many-ness of one night. He felt the beauty, mysteriously his gaze was filled with diffraction patterns and rippling waves. He saw the aura of heat and there was something else, a glow he could not understand, closing his eyes he decided to listen to the Town. It was quieter than most but the buzz of electricity was ever present. The occasional vehicle on the road behind purred and still he listened... He heard the song of insects and he smiled. He had only recently discovered through his studies at school that everything in nature was connected. He believed that just as the nucleus was orbited by its own mass-energy states, so also was his yellow Star orbited by its own mass-energy states. The bark of a passing dog roused him from the depths of his mind, and a duo approached; a dark skinned woman wearing blue joggers with her hair tied at the back, swaying with her motion and thick locks of hair dropped down towards her waist. Accompanying her was a fair skinned woman in grey joggers with her hair held back with a band and her hair was a mix of braids, twists and loose hair. The dog was like a Doberman and seemed to revel in the exercise, thoughts seemingly only of play.
He watched them pass him and then he resumed his stroll. He was amazed at how much information his mind accumulated, from a series of shots taken within fractions of time, the speed information is relayed and then processed. Indeed he marveled at the unity of mind and body and his soul seemed to rejoice! He understood his journey, becoming aware of its beginning; only at a beginning can he see an end and he smiled as an unseen force filled him with grace. The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence, he feels it so he believes it is real and such was his reality. Thus he questioned and he searched, not truly coming to terms with what he searched for, but still he wanted to know, through the lies and mesh of deception, a truth as real as the ground he stood on; he decided that this was the basis of his search. His mind free to drift in the autonomous motion of his legs along his path; autonomous vehicles, he wondered about the vessel and the driving force. He under
stands the unity of both brings him to be and yet he wondered, what is beyond? Delayed momentarily by pensive mental processes, his mind presented the image of the young tree he passed by. The image the perfect camera that was his eye captured and stored in the quantum banks of memory; turning back, he gazed to imprint the previous reflection. Instantly his mind was drawn to his class on fractals, the natural method of continuity and growth. It was a phenomenon he realised was also in all things, from as tiny as blood vessels to a whole mass of trees.
