Morgana faced the students and began. “Out-worlders, the first thing that you need to understand is that only one physical universe can exist–which is the universe you reside in normally. When you began this journey, your conscious awareness left your body and began to travel to nonphysical worlds. I guess, my Tristan, failed to tell you this?” Morgana, glanced at Tristan, silently moving her lips so to say, “I love you, darling.”
“Worry not, dearies, your bodies are fine, resting comfortably where you left them during the meditation. When you return home, the months spent journeying will seem like minutes on Earth. Pretty convenient. This is why my Tristan remains forever young here.
Second, this universe of Camelot, Lancelot, Arthur, Guinevere, Merlin, Vivian, Excalibur, and myself is one of the separate worlds existing in the vastness of the Dreamtime. Your author, CS Lewis, was a traveler to the world of Narnia and documented it’s history.
All of these worlds entwined in the Dreamtime are accessible by human beings when they pass into sleep. Some of them existed before mankind arose upon your earth, some of the worlds were created by the writers in your world and realized by the conjoint imaginations of their readers. Many are the result of mythological stories, told again and again. Some of these alternative universes remain and some pass away eventually. For instance, the believers of an earthly religion create the myth of their gods and goddesses and the virtual world in which such deities inhabit and use to interact with believers during normal dreaming. Whenever a religious system ‘dies’ such worlds are cutoff from interaction with the physical dreamtime.
Third, some human beings have discovered how to access the Dreamtime under well defined conditions. My Tristan is one of these gifted persons. I doubt that he told you, but, he is a true Magus, a Wizard and Magician of the highest Order of magick. And it was by magick that he discovered how to access this magical world.”
All the travelers turned to look at their Rav. Eyes sparkling with awe and wonder. Rav smiling, said, “True, I am afraid.”
Morgana began again, “You see, most magicians in your world can do nothing more than manifest a seed from this world. They are unable to bring it to life so to make a direct channel from the creatures dreamtime world and the virtual world you all function within. If such creature actually actualized inside your dreamtime, it would be in the collective dreamtime and so could act on the physical world by acting on your species common dreamscape. If a magician in your world could do this, he or she could destroy mankind.”
Morgana finished with a most serious look on her face. Those listening were afraid to say anything. Tristan, breaking the silence, “My dear wife is absolutely correct. No earth person has even come close to accomplishing such a feat. No one even knows if it is possible.”
The ‘wife announcement broke the silence of the cave, Vlad spurted out, “You never told us you were married, Rav. Never once. Why not?”
Tristan bent forward and gave Morgana a kiss on her right cheek. He replied, “I am not married on earth and while on earth that is how it is. I just happen to be married to Morgana in Camelot. I think you all are having a Tweedledee moment.”
Stella spoke up, “Rav are you going to show us how to dream travel by ourselves one day? It seems like it is a good way to learn useful information.”
Rav replied, “Maybe, maybe not. It depends upon your psychic progress and the purity of your heart. Coming here or becoming part of other worlds should only be done by those who will not be corrupted. Like Galahad and the Holy Grail. There is sufficient evilness in the dream worlds without importing any from the most dangerous world of all–the physical. For human creatures hold the power of dream creation. A power which can collapse all of the dreamtime.
For you see, the most powerful wizards in an inner world of Dreamtime are humans beings who have learned the art of transferring their minds from Earth to another world. They are powerful because they can dream and normal wizards cannot–even stuffy old Merlin dozing off in his chair.”
Merlin opened his eyes, “I was not dozing, just resting my eyes, you human you.”
Grinning, Rav continued, “In any case, the purpose for our journey is for you to learn how to ask proper questions so to arrive at proper answers. If you can do such, you might discover the nature of purpose of our universe. Morgana’s discourse provides a significant portion of our grand question of purpose for our universe.
Merlin finished, saying, “I think your friends need a good summary and review. But, it is late so it must be in the morn. What do you think about allowing them to play a game of hoods and chairs?”
Merlin chanted a short sentence and a candelabra appeared before each. “Just follow your candelabra, it will lead you to your bedroom in my crystal cave. Don’t fret, I never run out of bedrooms, though, today is a large crowd. You will find a nice fireplace burning and running water. Might not be what you are use too, but, you shall sleep well. We have breakfast just after the sun rises. You hear the breakfast bell. Pleasant dreams.”
Morgana’s took Tristan’s right hand and the pair followed their candelabra. Morgana glowed with happiness and gave off colored sparks as she walked.
