Memories part 10

"Yes!" was all that Celeste could muster. Tears coursed down both their faces. It had been a long journey back to earth since they died and went to heaven during the time of Atlantis. They had come home. Without surgery neither would have looked like an earth born human this time in bodies which came to earth from other times and other planets. But now they were home on Earth and home on earth once again  with each other. It was as if they had just returned from the long space journey that began when they first met on the Lord of the Flame above Venus during the Time of Atlantis on Earth. They had come home. They had succeeded. They had survived a long, long adventure through time, space and several lifetimes. No words in any language could describe what they thought and felt now.

After another hour or two in each other's sweet company Celeste needed to talk to try work out all the odds and ends in her life. She said, "Arcane, do you have any idea how amazing it is to hear these kinds of things about yourself and to experience our timeless love for each other. I can't dismiss any of it as fiction or lies even though part of my humanistic side says, 'This is impossible. The robomeds must be in collusion with Arcane'.

Do you realize how difficult it is to deal with this information. I don't know what to do with all of it."

" Well, Celeste, let me share this with you. Before the war ended between New Deva and Isfahel I was on earth and the Light Emissaries of Earth revealed some of my past lives and some of my future lives to me. And I was in a similar state that you are in now. The best thing that one can do is to meditate or contemplate or just sit back and try to interface it into your life in some way if you don't meditate. Then just while you are going to sleep think about it and try to see if it's true or not. Try to see what it all means. If it rings true then find out what you need to do with it. You just have to figure a way to deal with it. That is really the important thing after all. If something is useful keep it. If it's not useful then discard it. Or if it is not useful now but might be in the future then keep it somewhere in your mind in case it is useful sometime in the future. Use your mind. Use your intuition. Use your instincts. God created us as totally amazing beings. And each of us desperately needs to find out who we are in the universe. What use are we to God, the universe, ourselves and others? That may be one of the most important questions a soul ever asks whether it is in a human body or not ."

"You really are a priest. Aren't you Arcane?"

"Of course. What did you expect from a New Deva Dragon of Compassion."

"Oh my God! Is that what you called yourselves." Laughed Celeste.

Arcane laughed and said, " I feel a cultural discontinuity coming on."

"It's okay Arcane, remember we're both Galactic Cultural relativists. We couldn't have become Timekeepers otherwise. They don't let Galactic bigots in the time core."

At this they both laughed. She said, "Dragons of Compassion, the words create a complete paradox in my mind."

"That's the idea. We chose carefully that koan to create a paradox so that beings would either love us or mess their pants at the mention of us."

"It works for me, Arcane. Listening to you I feel like I'm watching anthropological tapes of the thousands and perhaps millions of types of ministers and priests on earth and thousands of other planets. You have a really good line. Whether it's true or not I really will have to wait and see. But I really feel you and I are meant to be together."

"I agree." Said Arcane. He deeply loved and respected this woman. That she could address things he could not even dare speak out loud on New Deva only made him love her more. Amazing! So quickly she had ferreted out the paradox of the Dragons of Compassion.

After all the main tenant of the Scroll of a Thousand Planets says, "If you can't laugh at your own existence you will never be enlightened. The most enlightened beings he had met shared that one thing in common. They laughed a lot. They had learned not to take everything too seriously. Life was a game after all. It was a serious game but it was still a game that God played for entertainment.
