The Immortal Child
Jean Hudon
CHAPTER VI
Regenerescence of the Cells
A few centuries had passed since Gaia's return to Earth. His space odyssey had led him to the ultimate goal of his endless journey through matter. He had transcended space and time, touched the Source of all Life and discovered his immortality. And he had come back in his Body of Light to continue the task undertaken by other beings of Light before him. It was as if he was their natural extension in this Great Work perpetuating itself for aeons and aeons through innumerable channels of Life, without respite and never weakening. It was as if they were all within him, like a Universal Memory of all those lives, of all those stages passed through since the Dawn of Time in the eternal labor of realization of the secret Plan of Life.
It was also sharing in a part, an infinitesimal part, of the Great Mystery that has been staring us in the face for so long that we no longer see it everywhere, all around us, in each atom of matter, and within us, buried in the heart of each of our cells... The Mystery of the why, the Great Why of all that is. What a unique privilege to be able to feel, to perceive, to touch with the tip of one's finger, a bit of this indescribable Thing lying dormant within us and controlling down to the smallest details, to the most minute variations of energy, this whole Universal Merry-go-round stretching out to infinity and palpitating in every wave frequency, in every parallel sphere of the visible and invisible worlds, superimposed, interpenetrated, interlinked one with the other...
What a wonder... What grace... What inexpressible bliss...
Such were the thoughts passing through Gaia's mind as he contemplated the infinite starry vault, lying down near a campfire on a fine summer evening, in the company of some of his most devoted disciples.
"Master, do you believe that we will someday understand the Meaning of this Infinity surrounding us?" asked Maltias, as if he had guessed Gaia's thoughts...
Turning his eyes towards Maltias, eyes marked by eternity and filled with a radiance of goodness and Love that nothing can describe, Gaia smiled gently and, taking his time before replying, said...
"Do you know, Maltias, how many beings have asked themselves this question before without ever being able to come up with a satisfactory answer?"
And looking again towards the stars...
"Everywhere up there, like here below, the same question has come up again and again since the beginning of time and no one has yet been able to penetrate the Mystery. Who will ever be able to say with any certainty why all this exists and why we live... However, I have often had the impression of understanding, seeing, feeling and touching in the depths of my being the Primordial Cause and the Ultimate Goal of all Life. But I have never been absolutely certain that I understand everything, and have reached the end of the Mystery...
A last veil always remains before the Light which guides us all towards some sublime destiny beyond anything the imagination can conceive of...
And you too you can accede to this inner Vision... but you will be the only one to see it. So it is for all the beings that live in Duality. Only the souls who have united themselves in the Light can share the same Vision and commune simultaneously with the Source..."
"Isn't this what we will be able to do soon? Don't you teach us that the hour of deliverance is close and that soon we will understand and know perfectly where we come from and where we are going?...»
"Yes... Soon you too will know..." said Gaia again for the benefit of all his disciples who were listening attentively to their conversation.
"Like millions of others before you, you will discover the precious jewel, the spark of immortal Light that Life has placed within you since the Beginning. And everything will get clearer, as when the sun shines high in the sky after a long cold, starless night. The times are ripe for another collective initiation. Soon I will lead you in the company of hundreds of other Assemblies of brothers and sisters of Life towards the Threshold of Awakening that I crossed at the end of the Ancient World and you, in turn, like many others since then, will undergo the same test.
Like me, you will have to choose between eternal Unity with the immortal Force of Life and the Illusion of separation and death in the worlds of matter. But know that the Way is now completely open and well marked out. The force of attraction of all the souls who have already crossed the Threshold will reduce proportionally the resistance within you caused by fear and refusal in the face of mutation. They are all there within you, calling with all their might other soul mates to join their exhilaration and commune with the One. They are holding out their hands, so to speak, across the Threshold through which you will have to pass. But each one of you, in the secret of his heart, will have to make the Choice. This, nobody can do for you...
And soon, very soon, when the last ones amongst the souls who are now ready for the great Mutation will have made the leap into this new reality, the collective Body of Light of humanity will leave this world to undertake a very long journey throughout the Universe. Together, when the last cell of the planetary Body will have completed its regenerescence, we will set off towards a fabulous destiny, never to return, leaving this globe of Life as it was entrusted to us at the origin, vibrant with Life, pure and harmonious."
Having said these last words, Gaia got up, followed by the whole Assembly, and a gentle song was soon heard in the night, chanted by voices trembling with emotion and full of tenderness and Love for the one who was their guide, hailing the departure of Gaia whose human form gradually vanished in an outpouring of golden light, then to disappear completely from view. Gaia had just left one of the many Assemblies he was responsible for, in order to continue elsewhere the same work of consciousness-awakening he had been carrying on without respite since his return on Earth. Thousands of beings were now going back and forth like him between the worlds of Light and the material world to hasten the moment of the Great Liberation that was now approaching very fast, so rapid was the rate of the collective initiations and so many were the beings who were ready to rise towards the highest spheres of consciousness.
After a few seconds of silence broken by the crackling of flames, the Assembly slowly dispersed, each one going back to his place of rest, there to spend the rest of the night, already well advanced. Maltias, accompanied by Myrial, who for many years now had shared every instant of his life, each moment of common experience, was slowly walking up the gently sloping path leading to the clearing where they had been living for the last few months. He was thinking about everything he had just heard and about those fleeting yet so revealing images he had glimpsed whilst Gaia was talking about the fabulous destiny awaiting humanity. He knew that Myrial, as well as all the other people present around the fire, had also perceived the same images, since for many centuries now, a certain form of visual telepathy was commonly used in addition to words in communication between human beings, greatly easing the understanding of what was being expressed. But realized beings like Gaia had a very great power of visualization, and therefore the telepathic perceptions received by the listeners and spread over a larger range of consciousness, including the emotion felt as well as certain subtle sensations, were accompanied by visual images.
"Tell me, Myrial, in your opinion, when will we be able to enter the final phase of mutation? Do you feel like I do that the coming of Gaia this evening is a sign of the imminence of the mutation?"
"You heard and felt the same thing as I did... The master did speak of a long journey we are about to undertake through the Universe and the ease of our passage across the Threshold thanks to the help of the others who are calling us with all their hearts to join them now in the worlds of Light."
Maltias sensed irritation in the voice of his partner but also a great deal of compassion and Love. For she who had been at his side for so many years knew marvelously well every aspect of his personality, and was well aware of this tendency to continuously doubt and question everything. She had supported and encouraged him through so many trials, holding high in her heart the ideal of Perfection and Harmony that had been the beacon guiding them, since the beginning, on each step of their common journey towards the great Goal, so close now. She knew that her partner was going to try again, as usual without success, to understand and assess, using only his analytical mind, each word he had heard, each feeling he had experienced during this Assembly, so precious among them all.
"But don't you believe that the imminence of our initiation is only relative? When one perceives the passage of time from the point of view of a being who has realized his immortality, a few months or a few years must not make much of a difference..."
"I know what you're thinking. You believe that the master wanted to test our imperturbability and see if we will be able to resist the excitement of the moment... No, nothing of the kind showed on his face, quite the contrary... When you asked him if the Meaning of the Universe would be revealed to us one day, you were simply expressing his thought and his answer was nothing else than the extension of the teaching he was trying to give us by opening his mind so that we might draw directly on the source of the Vision guiding him.
Do you realize the privilege that has been granted us tonight?... It was the first time I sensed with such intensity and precision what is in store for us in our collective evolution. No, really, my mind is at Peace with this thought. It will be soon, very soon!"
"Now I feel you're right. Yes, it's true that the Vision has never been as clear as tonight. My mind too is at Peace and I am willing to accept what is coming..."
They stopped on the path, just before the top of the hill where they were heading and, Myrial and Maltias' eyes met; then in the even, brilliant light of the moon rising on the horizon, they lovingly embraced and joined all their auric fibers in a vibrant exchange of energy and Love. A bird nearby burst unto song, as if echoing the mystical ecstasy they were sharing. Beings of Light furtively danced a ballet of Joy above them, on the outer boundaries of visual perception. The whole Universe was rejoicing through these two beings perfectly aware that they were the instruments of a greater Purpose and sensing that they would soon be able to penetrate its Mystery.
"Come, Myrial," whispered Maltias at last. "Let's join our brothers and sisters in the worlds of Light."
They walked the last few steps towards the center of the clearing where they usually spent the night, and lay down together on the makeshift bed of moss and grass they had put together, a few months before. Then, they quickly left their physical form to rise on the higher vibratory plane.
"Come! Brother, Sister, come!... Unite with us... Unite with us in our common quest for the Light... Follow the thread linking you with Universal Life... Come, rise again... Rise again, ever higher... Leave behind all your sorrows, all your worries... Free yourself from all ties with this world... It does not belong to you, any more than you belong to it... You are free... Free to rise higher, always higher... Feel the wind of grace bearing you up to us in its powerful embrace... Surrender to it... Let yourselves be guided up to us..."
Now free from any bond with matter, Maltias and Myrial rise higher and higher towards the azure vault of the sky, quickly passing through a sort of screen of Light purifying them from all that could have held them back in this world and raising their vibratory frequency until they enter again, as each night, a world of Peace, Love and Light of such beauty that no human language can describe it.
And like every night, they arrive in a place imbued with greatness and nobleness, a sort of cosmic cathedral made of beams of energy converging at the center in a dome of Light whence springs a protective force, supremely good and loving, which bathes the huge crowd present with its marvelous and regenerative emanations. They sit at their usual place and, their eyes soon closed, give themselves up to a deep meditation in which all their senses are increased tenfold and their consciousness incredibly clearer and more open than what they were able to experience a few minutes before in their body of flesh and blood. A symphony of Love and Joy then floods their hearts and, in a fraction of a second, carries them up to a pinnacle of ecstasy and serenity which, it seems to them, has always existed, as if they had never left this state to go back down the vibratory scale of the Universe. Powerful streams are pulsating, passing through each part of their being, transforming the very substance of their body of Light into a blazing flame, and transmuting them into a pure form of energy, the very energy from which the Universe draws its existence... Love!
And from within this flame, a unique truth, an absolute certainty, radiates with more intensity than all the galaxies together... All that exists has a Meaning... The Universe has a Meaning... And although it is impossible to fully express this with inevitably limited human words and concepts, for pure consciousness does not need words or concepts to commune with its own profound nature, what they perceive can be summed up as follows...
"There is a Universal Plan and we are part of this Plan. The Universe is slowly becoming aware of Itself. We are slowly becoming aware that we are the Universe. WE, is all the living beings, on every plane of existence, everywhere, every time. The Illusion is to think, talk and act as if we are apart from the whole Universe. We are not apart. We are a part, a holographic part, a microcosm reflecting and encompassing the macrocosm. Not only are we interconnected, but we are simultaneously the whole Universe. When we think something, the Universe is thinking something. When we say something, the Universe is saying something. When we do something, we know that the Universe is doing it. Not through us, but Itself, directly. What is implied by this is simply phenomenal!... Gaia is the name given to Mother Earth and expresses the same Reality. We are Gaia as everything else: the rock, the leaf, the fly, the bird and the child. We are all this at the same time, simultaneously. And Gaia is a cell of Galactica, our Cosmic Mother, the swirling haze of stars spinning around itself as a true living Being. And Galactica is also a cell of the infinite Universe: Universalia... And the Plan, evolving through countless aeons of time, patiently brings awareness of the Unity of All That Is to All That Is."
How many images are generated by this Vision... How much Peace is created by this certainty... How much Love is awakened, like an unending echo for the Life that quivers within us...
It knows... Within us something stronger than everything, greater than everything, KNOWS! And yet, we remain incapable of fully receiving, appreciating and understanding all that is reflected back to us... In fact, very little of what is radiated towards us reaches our consciousness still veiled by so many preconceived ideas, obstructed by so much falseness. The purification is not yet finished. Large patches of our being still remain in darkness, refusing to open to the Light shining around us. Yes... It struggles again and ever again... It rebels with its last ounce of energy against all that comes to disturb the apparent peace, made of ignorance and complacency. It even stinks inside us and we refuse to smell it, so accustomed we are to it. However, gradually, bit by bit, Light is coming in, confidence is growing, and darkness recedes before the dawn of a new day. Since the beginning of time, the same drama is always enacted and re-enacted, as if it would never end, as if we would never get out of it.
And at last the miracle happens, always the same, always new each time. A petal, then two, then soon a full corolla blossoms and the magic of Life brings into full light what was concealed in the depths of the flower of the inner being. It is the transfiguration! Nothing is like it was before! Everything is suddenly possible again!...
Carried away by all these images, by this intensity of consciousness welling up and exploding within them, Maltias and Myrial feel at last that Something great, very great, is approaching, that all this was just a prelude, a preparation for what is coming now. For they realize that the vast nave where they are has progressively filled more than ever before and, at the same time as all the others present, they become aware that all the beings who are part of the stream of evolution of humanity have gathered simultaneously in this cosmic sanctuary... A great thrill runs through Maltias and Myrial, as well as through all the others...
Gaia's words then come back to memory...
"Yes... Soon you too will know..."
Great clouds streaked with bright flashes are approaching from all sides the cosmic temple in which multitudes of beings, harmonized in a single whole, are gathered. Soon, like a huge fluffy cocoon, they completely surround the citadel of Light and an impenetrable silence falls. Only a fleeting thought appears from time to time without really disturbing the extraordinary stillness which prevails.
Down there on Earth, all Nature holds its breath again, as when Gaia himself passed through this crucial stage of evolution...
A thought of infinite gentleness and goodness then resonates in all the united hearts, while magnificent images appear, as if the whole scenery has suddenly changed and as if all the beings present found themselves actually transported into the heart of what this thought evokes for them. Again, words cannot express the inexpressible...
A Source of pure Light, spilling out trills of crystalline notes, pours over everyone present, who is fascinated, literally carried away to seventh heaven, and soon this pearly, opalescent Light envelops each being, each spark of consciousness, in a white mantle of Peace, Love and Harmony...
And the Source above begins to rain down multicolored sparks, adding yet more enchantment to the scene... From these sparks of Life, threads of Light, pulsating with waves of energy, spread and soon link all that vibrates and lives under the dome to form a gigantic stellar brain... And, as the seconds pass, the number of interconnections between the different points of consciousness increases, gradually forming a complex and intricate web where thousands, millions, billions, an infinity of sparks of Life begin to run with increasing speed in all directions across the vast network, which is now the shape of an immense globe...
Each of these billions of beings now united, merged into a single gigantic whole, and already itself bearer of an immeasurable amount of knowledge and experience accumulated during millions of incarnations, shares in a trice what it knows with all the others while simultaneously receiving the knowledge of all the others... The activity going on inside the sphere reaches phenomenal, absolutely stupefying proportions!
After some time, whether minutes or centuries, it is impossible to tell so compressed, accelerated is the time, the incredible pace of the flashes of interconnections slows down and reaches a gentle, even stability, totally in phase, harmonized and... It's astounding! An unbelievably powerful thought suddenly thunders out to the Universe...
«We are all ONE!..."
Repeated, maintained, sustained, endlessly, this vibration of Oneness explodes like a supernova on the planes of consciousness of the worlds of Light and instantaneously ripples through the infinite Universes...
«We are all ONE!..."
And like an echo trillions and trillions of times more powerful, the whole Universe answers in a single thundering thought...
"WE ARE ALL ONE !..."
After aeons of patience, after heroic epics, after fantastic adventures, Life has finally achieved its Goal... The Immortal Child is born...
Everything seems to have been finished, everything seems to have been realized, everything seems to have been completed...
Yet everything is just beginning !... This birth to Unity is only the dawn, on another scale, of a new titanic venture of Life in its eternal Great Work of creation.
A new being is born to the cosmic pantheon and the whole Universe has witnessed...
Gaia smiles at the stars... "Home... at last..."
"Welcome... Gaia..." replies the Universe.
