The shimmering zone appeared before them. Kewero walked toward it and then guided them through. Flindra tried to concentrate on the transfer from the cavern complex through the gleaming region to the world beyond. Her training had heightened her awareness in matters of being and mind so she wanted to study the experience.
It was perhaps due to her elevated consciousness that the passage back to the world seemed entirely different than her first encounter. The sensation was analogous to what she experienced with the crystal orb. A kaleidoscope of pure color surrounded her, which shifted rapidly from red, to white, to violet and back to white. Then the colors changed from white to gold, to blue and finally green. Before the green could shift to another color, they were back in the yurt that marked the entrance to the world.
Kewero laughed at the shocked expression on Flindra's face. "I think you look more surprised than you did the first time through."
"The first time I felt a connection with life - with everything living. I didn't experience that now. Instead, my mind was filled with shifting colors. Why was it different?"
"What makes you think that it was different?"
Flindra only looked confused.
"You actually experienced different aspects of the same phenomenon," Kewero explained. "Life is energy; light is energy. They are the same. How you perceive this energy is controlled by what you are attuned to at the instant of contact. Effectively, your thoughts form the nature of the experience."
"I don't think I really understand."
"That's quite all right, Flindra. We can discuss this again in more detail. For the moment, you are to reacquaint yourself with the joys of life. Let Rigga cloak you now. Keep alert, for there may be enemies still searching for you. Come back to this yurt when you are through with your ride and I will return to guide you back to the caverns. Enjoy your ride, my Princess."
