The Vision of the Tomb of Athena on Kobol
- The Vision of the Tomb of Athena on Kobol -
Being an account of a sacred vision I once had, which was wrapped in a dream...
I had one very powerful dream once in which I was Lilith, being called Lara Ilia Rosalinde, and walking up a large hill that had a massive fortress atop it, with a ruined city all around the base of the hill. People said that fortress was ruled by a king of some kind, but when I looked I saw it was just ruins that were being rebuilt and that there was actually no fortress there at all. The sky was white, the mountains in the distance blue, and the place on the hill where I was going… accompanied by what seemed to be a team of archaeologists… was a series of stone monoliths carved into the hillside. This was all happening on the planet Kobol... known perhaps more famously by the name Kolob... during a time long after the ancient gods warred and abandoned that world. Because of the last war prior to their leaving and its' myriad tragedies and horrors and the devastation and destruction caused thereby, and due to what she had witnessed of her fellow gods' and goddesses' sufferings and struggles, the goddess Athena had grown deeply depressed. She never wished to depart from Kobol and did not intend to... everyone had expected she would remain, but no one expected she would take her own life. But take it she did, and no one knows who it was that remained behind to bury her, but some of the others gods and goddesses... perhaps minor ones whose names are no longer remembered because no one saw fit to record them... clearly did, for there was a great tomb on that world dedicated solely to her. It had been considered a forbidden, forgotten, and forsaken place... but I knew beyond any doubting that this was the site of it in which I was traveling in this memory of Lilith's. For that is what this was that I was experiencing. A powerful memory and a sacred vision to have. At any rate, I was at that place I had just been telling of with the monoliths carved into the hillside, when something terrified me. I sensed a very feral presence and knew it at once to be some sort of an animal. Perhaps several animals were near, and this put me ill at ease and alarmed me to a sudden feeling of panic which was not exactly normal to my nature. But something about these animals made it only right that one should panic in their presence! A black dog came out and chased me, and the dog spooked a black bear. I ran from both and climbed up a small stairway and jumped on top of a large square column of stones. Someone shot the dog, and then shot at the bear, and the bear… which: almost got to me… was chased away. The commotion happened in front of what looked like a barrow entrance, and out of the barrow came a man in a black business suit with a pale white face and short white hair, and totally solid white eyes. The man asked what we were doing there and told us to go away, saying this was a place only for the dead, and that we did not belong there. One of the archaeologists asked him if he intended to stop us from entering the barrow, which was constantly referred to as a tomb, and as a ruined underground city… and the man said he could not stop us but wished we would not enter there. A pale white owl descended upon one of the stones nearby, and a second brown owl descended unto another stone. They both looked at the man in black and then looked at me to see what I would do next if anything. The man in black then offered to lead us inside, so we followed him and inside the barrow was a series of ancient tombs lined with stone sarcophagi of various sorts. The walls were painted with Egyptian-style scenes, and the sarcophagi varied in that some had symbols carved into them, others had the images of the people who were buried in them etched upon their surface, and occasionally we saw gold and silver sarcophagi which had almost lifelike images carved into them of those interred within their confines. That is when I saw a group of what appeared to be scientists enter the barrow, who began to disinter the bodies held in the sarcophagi. The bodies were then treated with chemicals and imbued with various energies from devices that the scientists carried, and the bodies came to life exactly as if they had never died but as if they had only been asleep and were now just waking up. From these devices, I saw a visible green energy flow into the bodies, and it was that green energy that made them animate and regain consciousness. So I think that energy contained souls and spirits who were being returned to their bodies again. No one else could see the color of that energy, only I could. One of the resurrected people was a woman with long wavy black hair and almost Asian-looking features. She was wearing blue harem style pants, a blue half-top blouse with long, puffy sleeves, and a gold necklace with an ankh-like pendant hanging from it. She wore a golden diadem in her hair, and had totally purple eyes. On her feet she wore blue slippers with gold trim. The pleasant scent of cherry blossom was in the air wherever she walked, and it became stronger the more she neared me. She looked at me very strangely, and said to me: “Don’t you remember me?” and I said that I did not, and she sighed heavily and then made me touch her, and then asked me if that was stirring any memories and I told her it was not. Then she kissed me, and asked one last time if that was stirring any memories, and at that point I knew precisely who she was and how I knew her, but right now being awake and not in that dream-vision state I cannot recall exactly what it was that I had remembered when the memory did return to me. She led me through those underground chambers by the hand, showing me the images on the walls and talking of various things that I cannot remember now either. All of which seemed so vital and important at the time in which this was taking place! At length, one of the scientists said the woman had to leave with them so they could make certain her resurrection had gone well and that she was healthy and able to exist for more than a limited amount of time. She looked back at me, let go of my hand as they led her away, and said to me: “Do not be afraid, I will not be gone forever! We will meet again.” I could hear the sound of two owls in the distance, and saw the brown one fly towards this mysterious woman and she extended her left arm for the owl to land upon the forearm thereof. And that is where that weird vision, or memory actually, ended. The woman in blue who had bid me to not be afraid was Athena, and through Lilith's eyes I had witnessed what could only have been her resurrection in that time long, long ago. It was most definitely Lilith’s memory, since I was her during all of it, and that made me feel very strange upon coming out of it and waking up the next day. However, now, ever since Lilith deigned to become a part of me I no longer feel strange about that shift in perspective at all... which goes to show how much one's feelings can change about such an experience due to a new facet being added unto their being. I do not know what further secrets will be revealed unto me now that I and Lilith are well and truly one but I do know that they will be things that are not known to mortal minds, and not recorded or told about in mortal histories. As is my custom, I wrote the details of this one down so that later on I could share what it was I had experienced with others. And so, you who are reading this, know that in this universe not only is mankind not alone but the gods of old walk among mankind in human flesh and likeness! I have said and written as much before, and I shall surely say and write of such things again, for there is wisdom and knowledge to be found in terrestrial and extraterrestrial things alike. I am, and have been, of many worlds... and this world I am on now, this Earth... is only one small island in a great sea that is teeming with life upon it, within it, and above it as well as beyond its' horizons. Treat this island well, and you will know when you come to the others that lie out there how to respect that sacredness which is unique to each and every planet. Just as first Lilith and then I walked with reverence when visiting the Tomb of Athena, so too should we walk with reverence wherever the ancients of both this world and others have tread before us. For the ancients knew many things beyond the imaginings of those living in these times! And that which was ancient knowledge could become tomorrow's miracles of technology should the learning behind it be rediscovered. Just as many of the things we take for granted in this modern age we are presently living in were once known to those who did dwell on other worlds and to this very day on far-away Kobol they are known still. Some things are not as discovered or invented as we might believe in our human hubris... some are re-discovered and re-invented as time goes on and the need for such things returns. Where mankind and gods are concerned, anything is possible and nothing is impossible. Time is often a circle, and we may arrive back where we began once we reach the farthest point possible and step beyond. And so, with that in mind I must conclude this blessed writing so that its' truths may be preserved.
Love, Light, and Illumination to you!

It was a powerful memory, my dearest Grace... the sort that stays with you and that you can never forget no matter how much time passes. It only felt right to commit it to writing so that it may be shared with others. I am happy that I did so, and delighted that you found it beautiful too! It was beautiful... that place was and is extremely beautiful... and the people of that world have a special place in my heart. I suppose that is why I never tire of writing of it, and why I have written so much about it in my other writings... much the same way I would imagine that a person strictly of this world might write about their childhood home and the impact it had on them as a person. :)

All such memories concerning divine matters are, dear Zoey! I am happy you took the time to read this and walk with me down this memory's deep and twisting corridors. *Smiles* :)
