Visit the Oracle

We walked into the valley of the East. It is said that where the Sun rises, answers are always received. At the very spot where the Sun rises, a building was created to hold the Oracle. Now, the Oracle seats at the place where the Sun welcomes each morning.

Faith walked before me and I could see the building ahead of us. It was adorned with pure gold and white selenite, and words carved on its doors that I couldn’t understand. The woman at the door was dressed in white from head to toe. “Who seeks the Oracle?” She said as we stood before her. “He knows I’m here” Faith said, addressing the woman’s question. The woman in white nodded and signaled us to follow her. We stepped into a dark corridor, candles lit on both sides. It was a narrow path with a floor made of soft stone.

I could see a large circular fire at a distance, with a figure seating at the center of the circle. “It is the Sacred Fire of Life,” Faith whispered, “if it turns off, all existence ceases to be.” Of course, I’m a skeptic and in normal circumstances would have thought she was crazy for saying that but I’ve seen too much now. Faith seems to live up to her name. The word Faith at its roots means to “know”. I’m beginning to learn that there is a knowledge that transcends words, a deep inner core knowing and Faith seems to have access to that space.

We stood infront of the fire. The smells of myrrh and frankincense surrounded us. Faith walked in before me and bowed to the figure by the fire, so I did the same. “What you seek is not here. It is in the West.” He said as he looked at Faith. She nodded. Then he looked at me. Got up and walked toward me. “And you? You look lost, only you are not…” He smiled. He grabbed my hand and with his other hand pointed to a line on my hand. “You see this line? It means your destiny was written long before you came to life. Every step you have taken has lead you here to this very moment in time” He traced the line and said “Now, your destiny is calling you forward. There is nothing for you to do, you will become it.” I looked at him confused so he continued “You see…The seed of the tree that will become an oak tree someday, already holds the oak tree within it…it is written… and when it’s time the oak tree reveals itself to the world, so it will happen with you. Your seed is sprouting.” he placed my hand on my chest and said “listen to your heart, it knows your destiny” he walked back to his seat by the fire and the woman in white signaled us to leave.
