"The final scenes of the Phantom's projected memory faded out of view as they finally descended to mouth of a cave below.
The Phantom stood stoic and motioned for the man to proceed without him.
He nodded his head in understanding and turned toward the cave and slowly entered.
He walked on and on through darkness, but without fear. He knew in his heart that this is where he needed to go.
Finally after what seemed like hours, he saw luminous aquatic reflections of water in the distance and mist covering the ground upon which he walked.
He continued on until he entered an enormous chamber with a ceiling so high, it stretched beyond the reach of his vision. And when he looked ahead, he saw a pond covered with the mist.
He cautiously approached and peered into the pond to see what lied beneath.
The mist slowly dissipated, and what he saw, was just a reflection of himself.
Disappointed and frustrated, he began to wonder why has had been lead there. What was the purpose?
Then, he looked down once more at the pond and he began to see other reflections there. Reflections of people, entities and beings that he did not recognize but somehow felt so familiar. More and more reflections appeared on the ponds surface, each one smiling and with joy in their eyes, until they're reflections filled every inch of the pond.
Overwhelmed with what he was seeing, he took a step back and looked upward.
What he saw caused his eyes to begin to well up with tears.
Above him he saw the luminous, ethereal beings. Thousands upon thousands of them. Each one casting a reflection in the pond below.
Then, as he looked around, he saw projections upon the cave walls of each one of these beings and the lives they lived. He was able to see every one of them simultaneously as they entered his mind and permeated his being.
He suddenly realized that everyone of them, was him.
A life he had once lived.
And in every life he lived, She was there.
No matter what, they always found each other.
And with every passing life, their love grew, even though they had no memory of ever having met before.
The luminous beings descended once more upon him, spiraling around him, and then consolidated within him to his core.
He emanated pure light from his being.
And in his soul, he knew this is the way that he was meant to be.
However, something was missing.
The final piece, he so longed for.
He saw something flash out the corner of his eye, and turned around to see his Love at the entrance of the chamber.
Her rainbow colored eyes shined brilliantly as tears of joy streamed down her face.
They approached each other, both filled with emotion they could hardly contain.
They looked into each other's eyes and smiled tenderly, feeling joy like they had never known existed. Their beings exuded the essence of love.
And without wasting another second, they embraced each other tightly.
At that moment, the light within them fused together, creating an ever expanding field of benevolent, divine energy that spread through the cave and beyond.
Infinitely
Through every realm of existence."
lyrics
Memories float about
The surface of these clouds
A mesmerizing roundabout
It beckons me to seek it out...
Visions
Bright and blinding, stir sensations
Undiscovered
In my core I feel them there
They shout for recognition
They come alive
I see a million lives we lived
Through time and space and distant lands unknown
But something always calls to me
Like a siren song that takes me far away from what I've known
From everything that I've ever known
Visions
Hypnotizing inspirations of two lovers
In a microcosmic dance
With rhythmic intermissions
Where we fly
I see a million lives we lived
Through time and space and distant lands unknown
Another moment caught in time
Will show me just a fraction of the love we shared before
Before!
Our light shines bright
Through these kind eyes
And time slows down this ride
It feels so strange yet somehow so sublime
When hearts align
