III. Fable

SEVEN

And so, thought the unicorn, “I can easily do without the material level of my projection of self. So few of my playmates remain there anyway, since human beings have become obsessed with consumption and domination. My native American friends are almost gone from their continent, though their spirits still roam the Canadian and Alaskan wilderness. My great whale companions tell woeful tales of incomprehensible slaughter. Caught in planetary karma, even the bees have become more violent. The web of sentience, once sustained by the Cetaceans and the Hymenoptera, is now jammed with the static of thousands of radio stations. Scarcely more than a handful of fairy glens remain.

“In China 4700 years ago I was a welcome creature in the garden of Huang Ti and was revered as “ch’i-lin,” harbinger of offsprings. In those days those with wisdom sought my companionship. So holy was the earth then, that I floated above the green carpeted meadows. Love emanated from every rock, every stream!

“Then in the middle ages I became the subject of crazed hunts. Men sought the material manifest of my spiritual eye so that they could further their own black magical exploitations. They abused my body and feared my soul, even as did they Jesus the Christ.

“I will do it! By my will. No longer will the seventh level of vibratory creation hold a necessary attraction to my center. When that rare meadow of earth, uncorrupted by human fears, intersects my life space then may I make my material incarnation appear. But for the most part I shall make the astral plane my lowest field of play and of the quest for purification that I now feel.”

SIX

Having freed itself of the necessity to project a material existence, the unicorn felt a strange, new, and exciting kinship with the creatures of the sea. “Perhaps I am now a water unicorn,” thought the magic beast.

One night in a lucid dream the unicorn found itself communing with a great whale. It struggled down a rocky cliff to a broad beach near where the whale waited. Ominously, in the distance a volcanic isle belched fire and clouds of smoke.

Suddenly, the unicorn heard the voice of the great whale. Even though its shrill whistles and low groans were unfamiliar, the message was clear at an intellectual level. “Don’t be afraid; jump into the ocean from whence you came,” the sonorous voice seemed to cry. The unicorn jumped.

As it felt the cold, soothing waters enclose around its physical form, it also felt a wonderful transformation take place. The crystal hooves that had danced so lightly in elf coves were becoming sensitive tips of astral flippers, beating the swirling sea. Its body elongated, and hindquarters became a tapering cone ending in flukes. Mysterious changes in its head, brain, and nasal passages seemed to connect it with the whole ocean. The spiral, single horn, which now became lighter and almost hollow, seemed to channel the flow of flesh around it.

It felt the great whale’s thoughts at the very center of its being, which is now located about half way between its heart and its throat. “You have manifested as unicorn of the sea, the astral expression of Monodon Monocerous, or narwhale. Of all the creatures of the lower order of earthly life, you are most holy. Your horn has never been used in spearing, digging food, or combat. It is rather the outer form of a sensitive astral organ which connects you with all the sentient life of the oceans of the world. As an earth unicorn, though you were harmonized with the earth, you were more disconnected than now. It is no longer possible for you to remain unaware of the suffering that ocean life has experienced in the modern era.

As the newly evolved seacorn absorbed the whale’s thought vibrations, it suddenly achieved an amazing new awareness. It found that somehow it was tuned into the vast network of sea life. It was like being a living three-dimensional map of the world’s waters. And the seacorn found that just by focusing its awareness, it could experience exactly what were the feelings, thoughts, and perspectives of each and every sea creature.

And there was pain, to be sure. Like a vast, planetary amoeba protecting itself, this ocean web of awareness withdrew from poisoned continental shelves, massive oil slicks, nuclear waste canisters, and demon whale and seal killers. Yet much joy pulsated through the web. The loving, playful connectedness of the dolphins and the Odontoceti whales dazzled the mind of the seagoat.

Here was a whole school—thousands of saddleback dolphins entirely in harmony with each other. Organized on loyalty and due respect, the school was grouped by needs of individuals. And other than hunger and safety, play seemed to be the nearly exclusive agenda for these creatures. Shifting to a group of bottle-nosed whales a few hundred miles away, Capricorn tuned into the deep, confident satisfaction in these hearts— born of the knowledge that should one of them become endangered, some one or more of the others could be counted on for completely selfless assistance.

Though the bittersweet connectedness of the sea unicorn was powerful beyond all its past experience, it was again mindful of the quest which had brought it here. Capricorn spoke in thought to Great Blue. “My earthly existence, once peaceful, yet ever-changing and playful, became limited by the expanding borders of humanity. In my horn, I felt a call from a limitless point of light. I was to seek perfection in a new place than the Earth, once so dear. My quest has led me to this vast, connected sea. I sense your connection in the most primal source of life and love on earth. Can you help me?”

“Most blessed being,” the whale thought-spoke, “we of the Cetacean Common know of higher realms which it is beyond us to enter. I can give you guidance. I can show you to the Isle of Belching Fire, out of which still pours some of the original thought-acts that spawned first sea life, and beyond that, land and air life. Your quest, if it is to be successful, must carry you into the very center of this fifth level of reality. I will give you one clue. On this aisle, the worst fears of your mind become as external reality. There, you have but to fear something to experience it. In your dark night of terror, you must remember this: do not run. Only acceptance and compassion will save you.”

Mysticeti, the great baleen whale, continued: “But first, you must release the sixth, or astral, level. We, the largest creatures ever to inhabit the Earth, are also the most peaceful. We eat only plankton. Yet while we know of higher levels of existence from our dreams, we have not been able to release our sexual karma.

“I will share with you a vision sent to me from a point of light beyond the earth. When uncreated God created the universes, he did it through successive applications of the principle of duality. The seventh level of vibratory creation manifested through a separation of positive and negative within the unbroken void. Thus, protons and electrons combine to form all atoms, these combined to form molecules. Through the superposition upon this diversity of the principle of unity, the first life forms emerged.

“In the second epoch, the sixth level of vibratory creation emerged from the introduction of the duality of male and female within the unity of life. This polarization within life was necessary. From it grew a greater and more diverse variety of life. The sexual bonding of polar opposites was the basis for later complex social structuring within the species. Later, you will need to know how the principles of natural selection and synchronistic selection (genetic mutation) operated to integrate the developments of the second epoch.

“Thus, sexual union is an attempt of created polarities to experience the unity of life. Orgasm is a total centering in the sixth level of creation, and it its proper usage is holy. However, as evolution proceeded, higher centers of creation emerged. We whales and dolphins have remained centered at the level of sexual play, although we form an essential part of the web of planetary love that has evolved.”

The seacorn replied, “When I remained tied to the material level of earth, I partook of all astral currents. I learned the lesson with which you now struggle. I found beauty in all creation, and experienced astral union with all peaceful creatures. Being an androgynous animal, I could fully relate to the sensual and sexual beauty of all unicorns. I even found the astral currents of my own form to be wholly satisfying.

“Before I became a quester for purity, I was content in experiencing astral beauty. Now, great mysterious giant, you have led me to see hat I cannot complete my quest unless I am completely willing to release my attachment to astral manifestation. When that harmonized sensuality, so rare, crosses my life space, then may I make my astral appearance. But for now, I totally remove myself to that land of fire, which, until now, I have not faced.”

FIVE

With these words, it was as if the unicorn awakened within the lucid dream. It had resumed its original goat-like form, yet was aware of an ocean to its rear which contained the very seacorn body of an instant previously. Its connection to the sea unicorn was much like the connection of an astral body to a sleeping material body. As it looked around its new environment, it discerned a strange, eerie landscape of leafless and twisted trees and plants. Everything seemed to glow with a sort of pale yellow fire. In fact, whenever the unicorn fixed its gaze on some particular spot, in a few seconds the particular branch or twig seemed to flicker and change form, as if it were pale, living flame. Ineffable things scurried to avoid being seen. The unicorn knew instinctively that this was the Isle of Fire.

The unicorn gave a sudden start, for it felt within its own body the same strange flicker that it had seen in the dense undergrowth. It felt as though it was actually made of pale yellow fire.

And then, as if both far in he distance and yet just behind its head, a faint murmur occurred, almost, yet not quite, a voice. There was a feeling of urgency, sickening-sweet, that the unicorn could sense.

It began to gallop toward a steep sloping rise that led up to a high plateau. Another shock. The unicorn found that it could anticipate every stone, every crevice an instant before it came into view. It was as if the creature were creating its own path up the steep slope. The line between what it was seeing and what it was anticipating in imagination had become blurred! It seemed to hear that same distant-near, dimensionless voice urging it to the very pinnacle of this mysterious, flickering island. The unicorn stopped momentarily to look back.

Below was an orange sea lapping at a yellow-grey shoreline. Pale orange creatures flitted in and out of the foliage like maggots in carrion. For the first time since it had begun its quest, the unicorn began to doubt. It doubted that purity lay in this cursed isle. It doubted the glib courage with which it took leave of Mysticeti. It doubted the reality of this experience, and it even doubted its own sanity.

With racing heart, it renewed its climb. The voice was clearer and more insistent: “Climb to the very top of this slope! There will I guide your quest throughout its final stages!” The voice sounded as though it had emerged from a roaring surf. Now the unicorn felt absolute terror, for it seemed to be disintegrating. It longed to return to its more stable form as sea unicorn. It cried out in thought, “Great whale, I took leave of you too quickly. I need your help!”

From a far-near place came the faint reply. “You have made the choice. You must continue. If you turn back now, everything is lost. Everything!” Then the surf-like voice seemed to well up still stronger, urging it on. “To the center of your island! To the center of your I-land!”

With its last ounce of courage the flickering form created the remainder of the climb to the rocky pinnacle at the center of the Isle of Fire.

Now the living flame unicorn paused at the very topmost rocks of the island, shaken but alert. It realized that its horn was acting as a lens for tuning in the voice that had been urging it on. Now the voice was speaking, free of all but a faint hum: “I am the voice of uncreated God. Some have called me Om, or I Am. As an earth unicorn, you were centered in your beating heart, and consequently felt my comforting presence. In your astral manifestation as a sea goat, I spoke to you through the voice of the great blue whale. You have just immanated to the fifth level of vibratory creation. As such, you are centered in your speaking heart: you are no longer spiritually deaf and dumb, but rather are clairaudient, and your actions will manifest the presence of the Living Christ, my soul reflection in vibratory creation.

“You can now hear knowledge read from the Book of Life, or Akashic Record, as some have called it. I will relate to you the story of the third epoch of vibratory creation. Near the middle of the second epoch, the principle of unity was again applied, and life was imbued with a desire to know God in all of His/Her created forms. In this capacity, male and female are equal. Men and women are not equal at the level of sexual creativity, or reproduction, since only the woman bears fruit. But in their capacity to know God, both man and woman bear fruit.

“And this was the way it happened. The duality of external/internal was introduced, and it contained within it the previous dualities of positive/negative and of male/female. It was given unto woman to maintain her internal connectedness with God. It the third epoch she developed and shared with man her intuitiveness, which is an internal connectedness with uncreated God manifesting in creation.

“It was given unto man to mirror in creation the creativity of uncreated God. In the third epoch he developed and shared with woman his rationality, which is an extended frame by which the creativity of uncreated God may be reflected within creation.

“Humanity is experiencing at this time the third application of the principle of unity. Whether a child is male or female, it carries within it the chemical and structural potential and function of both modes of knowing—direct and indirect. Now each thinking person, regardless of sex, fells a call to unity of knowledge. First women claimed their rationality, and now men are claiming their intuitiveness. It is good.

However, a segment of humanity has glorified their external creativity. They have set up kingdoms based on greed and domination and fear, and they threaten to destroy this Holyest Erthe. Because of this, you have been called to balance the Erthe with Christ realization.

“Now you face the most difficult part of your quest. You have arrived at the fifth level of vibratory creation, at which imagination and reality are not distinguished; you are at the level of magic. At this level everything you experience is real and is also your imagination. Because of this, as you learn to control this level you will experience a tremendous sense of omnipotence. Yet this power is illusory, since you are still maintaining the distinction between yourself and what you have created. Make no mistake: you are created, only I AM is uncreated.

“As created, you must choose between mortality and immortality. The irony is, that in choosing to glorify your creativity over your createdness, you choose death. This is because you cannot maintain your connection with I AM unless you glorify your createdness over your creativity. In losing this connectedness, you lose your omniscience, and unknowingly plant the seeds of your own destruction. In maintaining this connectedness, you retain the ability to immanate, that is, to be absorbed into the Light of God, yet remain a distinct and knowing soul. And so, you are now to live or die, for yourself, and for the beauty of the Erthe.”

With these words, the Voice of God was silent. Instead, the firecorn now faced an enormous red and yellow dragon. Its many eyes had the look of unfeeling power and passion. Orange smoke and fire belched from its throat and swirled around the unicorn. Its tail was so long that the tip could scarcely be seen in the distance.

With an intensity that was hard to bear, the dragon thought-roared, “I am the creator of all that you see. I am omnipotent beast of land and Zodiac. You will do well to obey me, unicorn, for in an instant, I can scorch your frail flesh flames and disintegrate you in one breath. And this is the irony of the situation: I am demonic God, created God without compassion, and you are powerless to control me. For I am You! I am a manifestation of your own lust for power.

“You cannot win, unicorn, for whether you attack or submit, and you will submit, you will be destroyed. For if you destroy me, you destroy all my creation, and that is the very ground on which you stand. And more, I must destroy you, for you claim to access a truth I do not know, and that is unthinkable.

“But first, I must dominate and humiliate you, as I have every other creature of this I-land. That is why they flicker in and out of the bush; they dare not assert themselves. I am the greatest, I am the most powerful, no one, no thing can approach equality to me. No being may share in my creation. No choice that is not mine may remain. I will break your will!

The unicorn was shaken to its foundation. For as it had received these hateful thoughts of the fire dragon, it had also felt that same strange connectedness to them, as if this terrifying reality were a fantasy being staged in its own mind. In desperation, the unicorn reached out to Mysticeti, but the connection to its seacorn form had now been severed. It searched its innermost mind for the voice of God, but heard only the dull background hiss of the Cosmic Ocean. Yet, even this small connectedness gave it hope.

And the degradation began. “Look down, you fool,” sneered the the great beast, “your feet are sinking in disgusting, putrid slime.” Foul stench filled the nostrils of the unicorn. “You are sinking into the excrement which spawned you,” the savage creature continued. Then the demon laughed hideously. “Are you beginning to experience the pleasure of wallowing in your own shit?”

The heart of the unicorn glowed a light green. “Shit is excrement cut off from its proper use. Waste is to be returned to the cycle of life. When creatures live in harmony with each other, earth, and God, they take care to place their waste where it balances creation. You cannot degrade me with material vibrations of any kind, for I have absorbed them into myself in a nurturing way.

“In the same way, material manifestation is the lowest level of vibratory creation, but it is only degrading if it is degraded—that is, cut off from God. I float above your illusion of degradation and I send forth only pure material emanations.”

An indescribable current of delight flickered through the great beast’s body, a current which the unicorn was discomfortingly aware of. The dragon roared with self-confident glee.

“So you think your purity puts you above my power, do you? I have long been aware of your pretentious holiness. You will not long remain above my influence. I am aware of the secret lust which you so sanctimoniously hide! I can manifest as the flawless beast for which your loins have ached an eternity!

And with that the dragon assumed the most amazing form. On the promontory opposite the fire unicorn stood another unicorn, made of flames so pure that the first unicorn was devastated. Its hooves were sparkling crystal, its eyes electric blue, and the sinews of its perfectly proportioned body were all strength and gentleness blended.

The green glow of the first firecorn became very pale as it felt its heart center being drawn down into the astral level. It lusted for union with the golden-maned beast. Orange flames shot from the sixth center of this beast and caressed the genitals of the trembling unicorn. “You see how easy you are dominated,” glowered fire-beast. “Open to me and experience the agonizing ecstasy of being fucked into nothingness.”

Again the aura of the unicorn of fire glowed. This time, the flames were blue and serrated, like the patterns of a Kirlian photograph. “It is you who is deceived into assuming your superiority. It is true that you manifested in a physically and astrally perfect image of a unicorn. But the moment you experienced the will to dominate me sexually, to my destruction, your astral rainbow body collapsed. Only a dull, monotonous yellow-grey with traces of orange and red remained. My lust is tempered with devotion, appreciation, and compassion. No blue-greens or violets flow from your brow and chest. My lust for you is gone, magic beast, and all that remains is acceptance and understanding.

“Thus it is with all astral attractions. They are at root holy energies and only become perverted when they are given precedence over the requirements of the heart and the brow. I float above and beyond your illusion of perversion, and I send forth only astral vibrations which will help all God’s creatures celebrate the joy of mutually satisfying play.” And with that, the astral rainbow of the firecorn’s body glowed with colors of astonishing purity!

The dragon was totally enraged! He was no longer the image of satanic self-control, but rather the incarnation of he lust to power itself. His eyes glowed from the darkest depths of depravity possible, and he seethed and vibrated from pure, uncontrolled hatred. “Unicorn, you are dead!” He spewed venomously. “You and I are interdependent; the one cannot exist without the other. If either of us dies, so does the other. That is the way of magic, for we are but each other’s thought-images. That I cannot dominate you is inconceivable!” And with that the dragon drew a huge breath in preparation for the total annihilation of everything, including itself.

The unicorn knew with certainty that the dragon intended to destroy it, and everything with it, if necessary. It could run, or it could attack, or … could it … love?

FOUR

As the unicorn gazed into those compassionless yellow-slitted eyes, it thought, “I am looking into a two-way mirror. But … so is the dragon. And with that, the unicorn looked all the way through created God and saw itself through the dragon’s eyes. It felt a great wave of compassion for the dragon. “I love you,” was all it said.

With this, both forms disintegrated along with all the creations of the Isle of Fire. The dragon, having not been able to incorporate passion into its being, was destroyed. But the awareness of the unicorn remained distinct. There was no form, only the green glow. It had become pure, intuitive potential, dispersed throughout a cloud of planetary love.

You must understand that at this level, the fourth level of vibratory creation, no dialog exists. Here we are beyond time and space, and all relationships, possible and actual, coexist simultaneously. And so, while the unicorn’s spirit interpenetrated every aspect of this level of creation, and while its awareness was extended to all time, we present this synchronistic relationship between planet and unicorn as if it were in dialog form. Otherwise, the reader manifesting in a dimensioned form would have no access to this knowledge.

The unicorn spirit, or air unicorn, was simultaneously aware of two things. On the one hand, it sensed the beautiful plan of Mother Earth for a perfect planetary unfolding at the three lower levels of creation. On the other hand, it sensed an insistent drain on this potential. Somehow, cells had organized themselves on a principle of duality and would not accede to the unity of the third epoch. Mother Earth said to the disembodied spirit, “You are my child and the child of the Living God. At first, you had no father, yet as the earth became dominated by compulsive love, especially that of the level of conception-control, you were, through Christ’s intercession, invested with the single-pointed light of God. Had you remained an earth unicorn, you could have died, as I man die of blind love gone mad. As an air unicorn, you have a choice.

“You may free yourself entirely of these earthly vibrations and become a child of the sky. Sometimes the mother dies in giving birth to the child. If Mother Earth is to die in the gestation of the sky unicorn, then so be it. In that case, all of the earth’s history would be recorded through you in the Christ hologram, and you might be sent to other troubled planets as an emissary of God.

“But there is another choice for you. It is part of God’s plan that when a certain level of Christ awareness is reached in the incarnated souls of this planet, there will be a divine outpouring of Spirit, and every eye shall see Christ. Yet I feel a cancerous growth of incarnated souls in the midst of my lower emanations which are devoid of Christ realization. Holy Unicorn of the Air, having purified and harmonized your lower levels, you could speed up the process of spiritual outpouring from the point of view of time-space. Of course, the Christ Order will eventually manifest on earth, even if it takes another two billion years.

“When Christ Jesus walked my hills and valleys, God Uncreated truly walked in God Created. He loved His enemies as you have loved yours. When He died and resurrected, Uncreated God no longer walked in creation. However, Christ Jesus sent His Comforter into the third level of vibratory creation. This was the Voice that guided you as you absorbed the three lowest levels of your being—first as a felt presence, then as the voice of the blue whale, and finally as Om.

“I am to be the fourth major application of the principle of unity. By virtue of the interference of the direct light of intuition and the reflected light of rationality, each integrated knowing human being becomes a fragment of a vast planetary holographic image. No further synthesis would be necessary, since the third and second levels (Holy Sound and Light) are not dualistic in nature, but rather single-pointed manifestations of the unity of Uncreated God.

“Unicorn, you occupy a unique place in the divine history of earth. You are created yet you so loved purity that you stand at the threshold of joining the Christ, freed even of the discolored aura of Earth which now interpenetrates you. And, indeed, you must leave the earth, whichever choice you make.

“Should you leave me now, and remain with Christ, you will be the first return of Created God to Uncreated God. Should you leave me now, yet return from Christ, you will be the first return of Created God to earth. As such, your holy purifying vibrations will be and inspiration to all earth creatures, and a healing force at all levels of earthly existence.”

“I nurtured you, I bore you, I loved you unconditionally. I will always love you unconditionally. I have felt your compassion for me and your longing for God. The choice is yours.

THREE

Then the disembodied unicorn-spirit had the most wonderful feeling it had ever felt. It thought, “I am being drawn straight into heaven!” It began as a shrinking sensation. What had been the green glow of planet spirit was now condensed through various shades of blue-green into a single point of blue. The color of the point was living blue and the sound of the point was Ohmmm.

But more than this was happening! As the shrinking progressed, what had been the dim suggestions of a holy vision became more and more definite. For as the sky unicorn had shed the last vestige of incarnation, it had become a wholly ethereal creature centered in its spiritual eye. Its aura was the envelope of blue light-sound.

With its spiritual vision it beheld the Blessed Countenance of the Living Christ. From the mouth of Christ came the omnipresent word of God, which comforts the open human heart. From the eyes of Christ came the purest, whitest, Light of God. And from the purple heart of Christ there radiated pure Divine Love.

The eyes of Christ illuminated all of Holy Creation, and in particular, this Holyest Erthe, from the Beginning to the End of Time. And there it was, in Black and White, so to speak, God’s Plan for the Salvation of Erthe. The rapture which filled the unicorn has not been known by earthly beasts.

TWO

And the sky blue beast now knew its holy mission, its place in the Divine Scheme. It was as if the Mouth of God had already spoken these words: “Holy Creature, you are the Unicorn. You are a creature of human imagination. Just as is Christ the sole reflection of Uncreated God, so are you the most pure expression of Created God. Just as the Holy Spirit has come to inhabit each human heart, so have you returned from humanity to dwell in the Heart of Christ. You are a Living Symbol of the willingness of humanity to accept the salvation which is there.

“So blessed are you that you have been instilled with special powers. Since you reside in the Center of the Living Christ, your image is even now projecting back onto the Erthe as part of God’s Holy Plan. To the earthbound mortal you are a fresh breath. The religions of humanity have gotten logged down in obscure symbolism and mistaken expressions of the true nature of Christ. Jew and Arab, Moslem and Hindu, Catholic and Protestant conduct “holy” wars in My Name. How far they have been separated from Truth, which is not separation, but—I AM, union.

“But you, Holy Creature, speak directly to the human heart, having emanated from there and returned to Me. Without speaking a single word, your message is clear to all humans, regardless of their other religious beliefs. When human eyes fall upon your image, even those who flounder in the ego-stirred sea of confusion are opened to spirit. These are the feelings you stir: peace, gentleness, unity, love of purity. If unicorns were carried to the battlefields of the world, there would be no war. If unicorns were let do the rivers of Erthe, they would be purified. The planet’s balance would be restored.

“And so I have relieved you of the choice of returning to Me or returning to Erthe by creating a universe where both are possible. The separation from the rest of Creation and from Uncreated God which mortals experience is the result of their acceptance of the dualities of positive and negative, male and female, and external and internal. You have ceased to accept these dualities, and so you can both remain with me and return to Erthe. At once, you are fixed at each point of the Universal Hologram.”

ONE

From the Mouth of the Unicorn spoke the Living God these Words: I AM CREATED AND I AM UNCREATED. I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE AND I AND THE MOTHER ARE ONE. I AM OUTSIDE AND I AM INSIDE. I AM ERTHE AND I AM SKY. I AM OHM. I AM LIGHT. I AM THAT I AM. I AM.” And it truly was the unicorn which spoke.
