An Atlantean Meditatin

I do not yet have a name. I find myself sitting cross-legged and naked except for a crescent-shaped collar of clear quartz crystal hanging from a gold rope tied at the nape of my neck.

The collar covers the upper part of my chest to my throat, and is pleasantly cool against my skin. I am alone. The great hall that I find myself in is very long and rectangular, the decoration is utterly simple yet majestic and there are tall columns set into the wall like great pylons.    

    There is a soft blue light, not unlike moonlight, pervading the darkness, although the hall itself is windowless and unlit. However, almost all the floor is open to the sea below and the walls of the hall dance with the reflections from the gently rippling surface. 

This is the source of the light. I am filled with a deep sense of peace and oneness with mother ocean. The moonlight carries me beneath the waves, sings to me of Luna and we three - woman, ocean and moon - are eternally entwined.

I  take his glistening head between my hands and we commune silently together for a few moments. I am aware of his great intelligence and absolute trust and understanding. Something very special passes between us.

He turns and dives into the water again and I am at his side. We swim quickly and effortlessly through the crystal clear waters, tiny silver air bubbles streaming behind us as we speed along.. Although we do not touch, it is as though we are linked by an invisible film so that we move together in complete unison.

We break the surface briefly for air and then plunge through the rainbow-hued shoals of fish towards the white sand of the ocean floor.

I hear the booming resonance of faraway whales hailing us in brotherhood and greeting. The ocean is lit with phosphorescence which sparkles and darts around us in a million tiny points of light.

We swim thus for too short a time, it seems to me, until my brother turns again for home. We surface into the dim light of the hall and before I walk from the water I embrace him with loving gratitude and give him a blessings as he leaves. I stand and watch until he is gone from sight and then, walking along the water’s edge, I make my way down the hall.

As I approach the far wall two huge double doors swing open before me, and I am caught in a blaze of light streaming forth from the chamber beyond. As I walk forward, I see that I am entering a room that is almost without dimension. Here, giant crystals stand, forest-like, pulsating with purest light.

I feel a surge of power coursing through me and for a second it takes my breath away. The collar about my neck is resonating with crystals and I find myself drawn to a great crystal slab in a clearing amongst this powerhouse.

I lie upon it and find that its surface has been carved in the very mould of my body. As  I lie there, awe-struck and suffused with love, wisdom and power, I see that within each giant crystal a being of light has appeared.

Their brilliance is such that I can barely distinguish their form. I am not afraid. I feel their reassurance and their encouragement reaching out to me but I am overcome with the doubt that I should be here at all - naked and ashamed in this holy place. I feel like a trespasser or interloper.

Another asks me: ‘What is it that you seek?’

I find myself answering: ‘The light beyond the light.’

He nods slowly, and then asks: ‘Why do you seek this?’

‘So that I may bring it unto the Earth to heal, to illumine and to nurture all life.’

The being of light waves me towards it and as I reach out my hands to touch its perfect surface, I am drawn inside, into the very heart of it.

For the first time I begin to see the others clearly, and it seems to me that they are all familiar faces. But my mind is becoming so suffused with crystalline energy and the enormous power generated, that I cannot really be certain of anything any more.
