Convocation of the Noble Ones
As Pamela and Evan approached the grand entrance of the magnificent golden Archway, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe and wonder. The archway was adorned with intricate carvings of dragons, their scales shimmering in the sunlight. As they stepped through the archway, they were greeted by a group of regal-looking Black Dragons, each one towering over them.
Archway of the Black Dragons
As the sun began to set, casting a warm golden glow over a tranquil garden, Evan found himself engrossed in a deep conversation with Pamela. They sat on a weathered wooden bench, surrounded by vibrant flowers and the gentle rustling of leaves. Evan, with a thoughtful expression on his face, began to articulate to Pamela the profound nature of The Black Dragons.
Birthing the Bodhichild
Pamela had a conversation with Evan where she expressed that she was feeling an intense inner light that was causing her to feel like she was about to burst. Evan explained to her that this was a sign that the Bodhichild, the child of Unborn Light, was about to be born. In order to properly prepare for this birth, Pamela needed to learn how to regulate her breathing through a practice known as Spirit Breathing.
The Pregnancy
One fateful day, Pamela approached Evan with a revelation that would forever alter the course of their lives. She declared that she was pregnant, a statement that left Evan dumbfounded. How could this be? They had never engaged in any intimate relations. Confusion and disbelief clouded Evan’s mind as he tried to comprehend the situation. Yet, Pamela remained resolute, insisting that she was indeed carrying some form of pregnancy, though uncertain of its nature.
The Abyss
Pamela and Evan found themselves standing before a deep pit, blocking their path. As they peered down into the depths of the pit, their eyes widened in shock and horror. A vast sea of writhing, squirming bodies filled the space below, each one desperately clawing and scrabbling at the walls in a frenzied attempt to escape.
The Five Rogues
PART THREE
As Evan and Pamela traversed the illustrious path of the Unborn Odyssey, Evan found himself lost in thought, reminiscing about his own journey towards Self-realization within the Unborn scheme of things. He began to share his experiences with Pamela, recounting his initial encounters with the Primordial. Evan spoke of his former Ch’an Master, who had guided him towards a deeper understanding of the Unborn, and the gnome-like entity that resided within his own mysterious Tower of Illumination, who had imparted further teachings upon him.

The Seventh Tower and Beyond
Pamela, with a sense of accomplishment, believed that her mystical journey had finally reached its conclusion. She had successfully unraveled the enigmatic secrets of the Sixth Tower, which seemed to be the final gateway to enter. However, Evan, a wise companion, gently reassured her that there was still more to be discovered. He explained that the Sixth Tower was not the ultimate destination, for there existed a Seventh Tower that held the key to the ultimate Unborn Unification of mind and spirit.
The Light Bringer
As the supernal journey unfolded, a profound realization began to dawn upon me, gradually unraveling the enigmatic nature of the Sixth Tower. It became evident that this towering edifice was not merely a physical structure, but rather a realm of consciousness, an ethereal plane where the soul could transcend the confinements of the material world and attain a profound union with the divine.
The Silkworm
Pamela slowly opened her eyes, feeling groggy and disoriented. She blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the dim light of the room. As she sat up, she realized that something was very wrong. Her body felt strange, as if it had been stretched and elongated. She looked down at herself and gasped in horror.

Quietude
As Pamela continued on her journey, she eventually found herself standing at the very heart of the Fourth Tower. This particular Tower was dedicated to the practice of meditation, specifically the meditation of Recollection and its subsequent outcome: the Contemplation of Quietude. This was a highly significant practice, one that was said to bring about a multitude of effects.
