Dimensions of Genesis

by Q. Lee, Danielle

  “I do.” Lily replied staring into Gabe's eyes.

  “Do you, Gabriel Adonis Konstantinos take this woman, Lily Evelynn Donovan, to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and hold from this day forward, until death do you part?” asked Gabe.

  Gabe responded solemnly, “I do.”

  They exchanged their vows, their rings and their love.

  “You may kiss your bride.” Father Matt announced proudly when the ceremony was done.

  Gabe grinned, took Lily's face delicately into both of his hands and leaned in. Tilting her tiny face upward, Gabe tenderly kissed his wife's lips. Lily finally let the tears of joy that had been swimming around in her eyes all day, flow freely.

  Gabe lifted her up in his arms and held her tight.

  With a roaring standing ovation, the crowd of family and friends celebrated their union.

  After a whirlwind evening of food, dancing and drink, the last guest was just driving away. White Christmas lights twinkled in the trees as the moon and stars hung silently against a black canvas of sky.

  Gabe and Lily, wrapped in their handmade wedding quilt, cuddled contentedly near a crackling fire. Just after midnight, the two were exhausted, but happy with how the day went.

  The acreage was silent except for the occasional wind rustling the leaves overhead.

  “Mrs. Konstantinos?” Gabe whispered in Lily's ear.

  Giggling, Lily answered, “Yes, Mr. Konstantinos?”

  “I have a surprise for you.” He said slyly as they stood up and he led her away from the fire.

  Lily's eyes lit up, “A surprise!” She exclaimed excitedly.

  Shushing her, he beckoned her to follow him. Hand in hand, he led her behind the house.

  After a few moments, she realized he was leading her out to the tree house.

  “Wait here.” He grinned as he climbed up the old ladder and disappeared through the trap door.

  Shivering from the night air and anticipation, Lily hopped up and down.

  “Close your eyes.” Gabe demanded playfully, leading her up the ladder. “No peeking!”

  “I'm not!” She giggled.

  Carefully, she lifted herself through the trap door, with Gabe holding onto her waist. She waited impatiently for him to climb in before she opened her eyes.

  “Okay. Open your eyes.” Gabe said softly.

  Slowly, she opened her eyes. There, before her, was a tree house made for a princess.

  Gabe had placed several softly lit candles within the tiny room. A small mattress lay in the middle of the floor. A beautiful white duvet lay upon it, covered in pink rose petals. White lace fabric hung from the ceiling, draped over the tiny bed. A bottle of champagne chilled in the corner with strawberries and chocolate sauce decorating a plate beside it.

  “Oh Gabe.” Lily whispered, taking a breath in. “It's so beautiful.”

  “Anything for my wife.” Gabe replied sincerely from behind her.

  Crawling over the bed, Lily immediately reached for the strawberries. Laughing, Gabe tried to steal them from her. Pouring the champagne, they made a toast to one another.

  “To you, Mrs. Konstantinos.” Gabe said sincerely as he raised his glass.

  “And to you, my sweet husband.” She replied, touching her glass to his.

  Staring into each other’s eyes, they savored their champagne.

  Reaching for a strawberry and dipping it in the chocolate sauce, Gabe slowly put it to Lily's mouth. Teasing her, he let a tiny taste of chocolate touch the tip of her tongue. Finally, after Lily had tried several times to bite at the strawberry, he placed it in her mouth.

  Gabe, who had taken off his suit jacket hours ago, now began unbuttoning his crisp white shirt. Lily watched him, biting her lip.

  After his shirt was off, he whispered to Lily, “Turn around.”

  Slowly, she maneuvered herself, her back to him. Slowly and carefully, Gabe unlaced the white ribbon from Lily's corset. One side at a time, her dress became looser until it eventually slid off, landing at her waist.

  Pushing her hair to the side, Gabe kissed the nape of her neck. Lily lifted up her hair and held it with both hands, piling it loosely on her head. Gabe's hands trailed down the insides of Lily's raised arms, sliding past the soft curves and resting his hands on her hips.

  Turning around to face him, Lily reached for the dish of chocolate sauce. Dipping her finger into it, she placed a tiny taste onto the tip of her tongue, eyeing him seductively. Dipping her finger lightly into the chocolate, she then trailed a line of sweetness from Gabe's collarbone to his stomach.

  Licking it slowly off of him, she then whispered, “Lie down.”

  Complying, he removed the remainder of his clothing and lay down.

  The twilight glow of the moon eventually became the dawning of the sun. The newlyweds saw the early hue of the Sun kissing the eastern horizon as they finally fell asleep.

  “It’s lovely to meet you David.” Evangeline said simply, but to David, it sounded like a symphony of angels. Before him stood the most beautiful being he'd ever seen in his whole existence.

  Her dark skin radiated with an inner glow. Staring into her eyes, he was astonished to see they were lavender. Her hair was silver, short and pixie-like. Her floor-length gown was an evanescent white and gold sari.

  Just above her brow, on her third eye chakra was a teardrop-shaped diamond. Though, no diamond on earth glimmered the way this one did.

  As he touched her hand, sensations of knowledge passed between them. She freely opened up her mind to him, allowing him to explore her thoughts. Even though her ethereal body appeared no older than twenty, the energy told him she was over three thousand years old.

  Forgetting she could read his mind, he thought, That’s okay, I’ve always loved older women.

  Blushing, she softly squeezed his hand.

  It felt like an eternity they were locked within each other’s thoughts. It wasn’t until his mother spoke again that he realized where he was.

  “I will take my leave now.” She said, looking lovingly at David.

  Feeling worried he might not see her again, she quickly added. “Don’t worry; I’m only a thought away. The moment you need me, think of me and I will be here.”

  Hugging, they parted ways for the moment. Turning his attention back to Evangeline, she invited David to sit at a table with her.

  Transfixed by her beauty, David found it difficult stop himself from staring at her. She smiled shyly as she read his thoughts.

  “Thank you David, you are so sweet.” She blushed as she sent him the thought. Holding her hands up into the air and closing her eyes, she appeared to say a quiet prayer. Suddenly, three books pulled themselves off of a nearby shelf and gently landed before them on the table.

  “What are these for?” David asked politely.

  “These to remind you of what you already know, but have forgotten because of Earth’s dense atmosphere. We can only allow a bit a time, however, it could harm you if you were to absorb too much.”

  The books spread themselves out in front of David. Their covers ornately designed with symbols that David didn't recognize.

  “The first book is your own personal history, the second is to help you remember what you know about the universe and the third is...very important.” Evangeline explained. “Please place your hand on the first book.”

  Complying, David put his right hand on the book. Instantly, a light flowed through David’s hand.

  As the light spread throughout his ethereal body, a sealed doorway within his mind swung open. Memories enveloped his mind and soul, freed from their secret slumber.

  Many faces flashed before his mind's eye. A shaman, dwelling deep within the heart of an ancient jungle, chanting healing verses to those in need. The kind face of a female nurse doting on injured soldiers from a war long ago. A surgeon, a hospital intern, a medicine man and even a witchdoctor.

  With every face, he recognized the so
ul...his.

  Every reincarnation, every life he'd lived, had been dedicated to healing. As the memories merged with his present body, he felt an overwhelming sensation of oneness.

  “Thank you.” David smiled sincerely at Evangeline for the gift of knowledge and remembrance.

  “Do this one next.” She smiled in return as she gently pushed another book toward him.

  Placing his hand on the book, another surge of light entered into his body. Vast quantities of knowledge instantly permeated his mind. Memories of the basic Laws of the Universe poured into him.

  Universal guidelines, the laws that all beings are supposed to abide by. These were not commandments, which are based on judgment; they were the laws of creation.

  David paused to reflect on some of the most important laws. The Law of Free Will, The Law of Oneness and The Law of Abundance.

  The Law of Free Will stated the only way one being can help another, is after being asked to do so. All beings are asked to respect another being's right to experience life without involvement from the spirit world...unless they ask for help.

  The Law of Oneness stated that we are an inseparable being from the Source. Every one of us began in the light, is always a part of it and forever reserves the right to return to the light.

  Manifestation, as he'd been shown by his mother, is the The Law of Abundance. Through the act of thought and pure gratitude, anything made of energy can be materialized.

  David allowed the flow of knowledge to flood through his soul. As he did, visions of the many different dimensions flashed through his mind.

  Eleven dimensions layered upon one another like the colors of a rainbow, blending at the borders, yet separate planes of existence. David observed that the universe was created wholly on the basis of vibration. From the small atom to the largest solar system, everything is existence had its own frequency.

  The lowest planes of existence vibrated the slowest, making their dimension the densest. Beings dwelling within the slowest vibration had a very minimal awareness. Bacteria, rocks and water were the main occupants of the first dimension.

  The second realm consisted of a slightly higher awareness. Mostly insects, plants and animals.

  Humans lived and loved within the third dimension. Spirits from the higher dimensions returned time and time again to Earth. Donned in dense, fleshy suits, they learned from the joys and pains of Earth life.

  After Earth's realm, the dimensions became progressively lighter, literally and figuratively. Humans could shed their heavy Earth bodies for a lighter form, ghosts. The fourth realm consisted of those in transition, or purgatory.

  Heaven, or realm five, is a sanctuary for souls. A gathering place for the higher levels to share a common vision. A place of healing, of love and manifestation, this dimension was the world of imagination.

  Dimension six dwellers were the creators of inspiration, angelic muses for the lower levels. These beings infused creativity into those on earth, assisting willing humans to embrace their potential. Whispering inspiration to the painters; their masterpieces. Suggesting to the writers; their prose.

  Number seven held the beings of wisdom, usually referred to as spirit guides. Assisting those on Earth and in Heaven.

  Dimensions eight through eleven were not as clear to David. He felt they were so pure in energy and light, he couldn’t begin to understand their power and magnitude.

  Very few beings dwelt within the highest realms. He understood that it took many lifetimes to ascend to such high levels. Every time a being experienced life in solid form, most often as humans on earth, they gained more knowledge. Knowledge can inspire a higher consciousness, propelling souls to higher dimensions.

  Taking a moment to reflect on the inheritance of knowledge he had just ingested, David glanced up at Evangeline. She smiled and seemed to be monitoring how well he was handling the onslaught of information.

  “Any questions so far?” She inquired.

  Shaking his head no, he politely urged her to continue.

  She slowly pushed one more book toward him and as he touched it, he became very sad.

  He saw the Earth for what it really was, a living organism, and how humans were destroying it. It wasn’t all the humans fault; however, dark forces were at work trying to gain their own advantage.

  Evil shadow creatures used humans to create a negatively charged environment on Earth. To live on Earth permanently, they had to create an imbalance of energy, pushing the Earth to the negative. These shadow beings discovered many centuries ago that they could harvest energy through humans. They dominated their chosen prey through whispers, dreams and dark thoughts. By inspiring greed, self-loathing and shame, the dark entities planted darkness in the hearts of the humans.

  Named as demons by the religious, these dark beings convince the living human that they are unworthy of Heaven. Upon death, the deceased cannot find their way to Heaven because they believe they deserve to go to Hell. Hell, however, is a manifestation of their negative thoughts.

  After absorbing all this information, David felt an urgent desire to assist humanity escape from this dark energy’s imprisoning tactics.

  David asked, “How can I help?”

  “There is a time approaching on Earth that may reset the balance between good and evil.” She continued with a serious expression. “We need healers to return to Earth and retrieve as many lost souls as they can. We’ve tried for centuries to inspire the living, to sway the vibration of the Earth to the positive, but the progress is slow.”

  Nodding, David understood what she was trying to convey.

  “Muses go to Earth to deliver inspiration, all in attempts to show the humans how to create a world of peace.” She explained, “Unfortunately, the dark energies appeared to have the same ability to inspire, though their ideas are born of pure darkness.”

  “How can I rescue them?” David wondered.

  “You have the ability to heal them and convince them to come home.”

  “How do I heal them?”

  “You will be taught, a wonderful teacher has offered to help you.” She answered with a smile, as though she knew something he didn't.

  “Why can't you show me?” David inquired quietly, once again enamored with her beauty.

  “I would love to, but, regrettably, it’s not my department. Not to worry, your teacher is a very knowledgeable being.”

  “So, your job is a spirit guide?”

  “For now,” she began, “but just until I rejoin with my other half.”

  David must have looked as confused as he felt because she continued to explain.

  “Even though I’m with you in the fifth dimension, I’m actually a resident of the seventh realm. I sent part of my energy to Earth; to experience being human again…I know it sounds complicated.”

  “So, a portion of your energy went to Earth…” David reiterated slowly. “…and because your energy is divided…you reside here, instead of in a higher realm. Is that right?”

  “Yes!”

  “So, do you assist the human, er…yourself, on Earth?” He asked, slightly confusing himself.

  “No, it would be a violation to the Law of Free Will. The human exists as their own being. It would be wrong of me to interfere with their journey. I’m sure there would be an over-abundance of ‘miracles’ surrounding that individual, if you know what I mean.” She stated with a wink, and then continued.

  “Do seventh level beings, like yourself, split and return to Earth often?” David inquired as he wrapped his head around the complex theory.

  “Yes, but this was my first time.”

  “Do the higher realms, like level eight, continue that process?” He wondered.

  “Not often, the power becomes too great to separate.” Evangeline explained as she waved her hands in the air and sent the books back to the glass shelves.

  Half-joking, David uttered, “I wonder what would happen if a level ten went back to Earth?”

  Evangeline’s face we
nt deadly serious as she looked at David directly in the eyes.

  “I’m sorry, did I say something wrong?” He worried.

  “No, no. It’s…it’s nothing.” She stammered slightly, her face flushing a little.

  “Please tell me. I didn’t mean to…” he began, afraid he'd said something to offend her.

  “It’s just…” she sighed, hesitating. “It’s extremely rare for a high level being to return to Earth. If the dark energies gained control over a level ten, they could harness enough power to rule Earth’s dimension.”

  David nodded, understanding that the idea would be ludicrous. Evangeline, however, still looked very upset.

  “Are you alright?” He asked, concerned.

  After several moments, she finally said. “Remember how I said there’s a time coming when we could reset the balance? If a balance is created, the universe can grow…giving birth to a new dimension.” Evangeline's face brightened as she spoke. “When a new dimension is born, the lower dimensions are pushed up into higher vibrations. The dark energies would not be able to influence the humans if Earth’s realm moved into the next dimension.”

  “So Earth would be pushed from the third dimension to the fourth?” David reaffirmed.

  “Yes, but if we don't establish a balance…the universe could inadvertently collapse one of the dimensions…hence, Apocalypse. Not to mention, they’d have complete control over all humans, living and dead.” She stated grimly.

  David understood the magnitude of this situation now, but didn't understand what all this had to do with his comment about a level ten being.

  Sensing his question, Evangeline explained quietly.

  “David, if the dark energies convinced a level ten human they were unworthy of going into the light...the dark energy wins control over the dimension.”

  He thought for a moment, and then replied. “But I thought you said it was unheard of for a level ten to go to Earth.”

  “Normally, yes, but...there is at least one on Earth at this very moment.”
