The Star Test

On her way back to the Temple College her friends noticed that she was very tense and silent.

‘Tell me!’ Lea said gently, and Vann took her hand and showed that he too would like to help.

‘There is nothing!’ Kyra said defiantly.

Vann and Lea looked at each other.

But they loved her enough to leave her until she was ready to tell them.

* * * *

She could not at first find the Lord Guiron and, as she was weary from the travelling and the emotions she had been through, she fell down on her sleeping rugs and shut her eyes before she had even eaten the evening meal.

Her dreams that night were restless and disturbing. She tossed and turned so much that Lea, who slept next to her, woke her once and tried to quieten her with soothing words. After this she did not move about so much, but in her dream world she wandered hopelessly through a labyrinth.

It seemed to her that beyond every turn she would find the Lord Khu-ren. On and on she searched through the dark and hostile passages, but he was always just out of sight, just out of reach.

As she reached the same point at the centre time after time, she sat down on the cold stone ground and wept. Around her the labyrinth crouched, in silence and in mocking emptiness.

She would never find the Lord Khu-ren. She would never find the way out. There was no way!

But as there is a way in, there is always a way out of a labyrinth.

Despair had closed her eyes to it.

She thought of conjuring up his image as she had done in the great cavern.

But he had spoken of ‘the illusions of love’ in the same breath as ‘the illusions of fear’.

And she was weary of illusions now. She had felt his touch upon her neck and it was this kind of reality she wanted now.

‘I cannot help it!’ she said defiantly to the invisible spirit realms that she knew were always present, occupying the same ‘space’ she occupied but in different form, in a different ‘reality’.

‘I am not like you! I have a body and my body has needs as well as my spirit. Why do we incarnate on earth if it is not to experience earth reality, earth love!’

She lifted her tear-stained face and stared around her in the dark, defying the bodiless, formless Beings to answer her this riddle.

‘The answer is...’ a gentle voice spoke behind her, and she spun round to see the girl she had twice seen before in vision form – the girl from the Island of the Bulls, the lithe, naked acrobat who danced with bulls and somersaulted over their fearsome horns and yet, at the same time, was one of the noble Lords of the Sun.

‘The answer is, my friend, as you would know if you stopped weeping and stilled your mind as you have been taught to do, that we incarnate on earth indeed to experience earth reality, earth love.
