Break your image into seven fragments
and wait for the storm.
When the womb has been prepared you may plant your seed.
You will know the time is right when the light is broken in the sky.
Then you will journey to
the red temple in the south.
Sacrifice the first remnant of your form at the red temple.
Be aware dreamer,
that the seven temples offered themselves up long ago,
you will find only the shards that remain here.
When the first is done
travel southwest in search of the orange temple,
where you will leave the second piece
of your mortal representation.
Be watchful for the presence of a sensual woman.
This is how you will recognize the orange temple.
Seek out the yellow temple traveling
Northwest.
You will know it by the presence of winged creatures.
Leave your third fragment and take to the road again.
In the North you will find the green
temple.
Here life finds a way around obstructions.
Make your sacrifice
and prepare your heart at the green temple.
Continue Northeast in search of the
blue temple.
There will be a stillness about the place coupled
with unusual sounds.
Leave the fifth offering of self in the music of the
blue temple.
In the east you will discover the
violet temple.
The senses are heightened
when you are in the proximity of the violet temple.
In the stunning presence of the seemingly ordinary
you must leave the sixth fragment.
Voyage to the center by traveling
west
unless there is a clear sign
that the center is nearer than anticipated.
The last temple is not easily identifiable.
It must be recognized by its essence.
Offering the final
fragment of your image begins the initiation.
Only an open and willing heart can carry essence
without form.
Only essence survives fragmentation.
Only essence may voyage
beyond this shard of a temple
that offered itself up long ago.
