Book Two: Acts II

She now felt impelled to suffuse other women with the Brightest Light and to release men from Darkness.

 

But Male resisted, citing six thousand years of Law and Custom:

 

Male’s vision was impeded by Life as It Had Been:  He confused Depravity and Divinity.  Clinging to rules of human infancy, he summoned the brutality of Caddish Conquest, the only means to power he knew;  but he now faced Her Force, Her Power, Her Love.  Unready at this juncture to receive, he therefore had to confront, the Power of Love.  He was knocked to his knees and fell prostrate for centuries.

 

She ventured forth with Women of the Light, first a dozen, then three thousand, then a global contingent.  They crossed oceans, traversed deserts, scaled mountains, moved across valleys and onto plains.  They entered cities, where their message resonated most especially with those whom they sought with greatest ardor, those She had long lamented, that refuse of humanity piled high on dunghills and cast into the shadows of dank and dirty alleys, liquored lounges, ratty receptacles.  To Her and the Women of Light flocked those with vanished veins, babbling brains, hardened hearts, sunken souls, tales longing to be told.  She and the Women heard the tales, gave their time, bestowed the Listening Ear.  From humanity shamed came humanity reclaimed: 

 

Out of the Darkness legged legions to the Light.

 

For millennia Male had promoted Division and Discord as fundamental to terrestrial power.  Female advanced Unity and Harmony, those apostles of Supreme Love.  Forward came Women from across the globe, countering Male Truculence with the Power of Unbounded Love.  Brother had faltered since the coming of the Light, but the very Power of that Luminance healed and nurtured Brother, even as Female used her Power to advance Meaning rather than Conquest.

 

For She was the Word That Always Been, Immortal, Beyond Time and Space.  Awakened now in her Current Incarnation, she was primed to advance Unbounded Love, Eternal Good, Renewed Joy, Recovered Essence, Latent Become Blatant, the Road to Eternity.

 

Forward went She, flanked by the Women of Light.
