Welcome back.
The lion's gate is opening a little wider now.
Some say that during these days the light of the sun.
And the brilliance of Sirius.
Invite us to pause.
To dream.
And to plant new intentions.
For the path ahead.
Tonight.
The journey continues.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in and gently breathe out Again,
Breathing in and breathing out imagine yourself returning to the ancient pathway The evening sky glows.
With the final warmth of the setting sun.
The Great Lion's Gate rests upon the mountainside ahead of you.
Radiant in the distance as you war.
You notice a doorway you hadn't seen before Its archway is carved with lions,
Stars,
And spirals.
A warm amber light spills from within.
You step inside The chamber is perfectly still.
Round walls of pale stone curve gracefully toward an open ceiling.
We're the night sky stretches endlessly above.
High overhead.
One brilliant star shines directly into the temple.
Its light falls upon a circular altar in the centre of the room resting there is a bowl of liquid gold.
Its surface is perfectly calm.
As you move closer,
You notice something extraordinary.
The gold surface is reflecting your future not in clear pictures.
Only in fleeting glimpses.
A joyful laugh.
A peaceful sunrise.
Hands creating something beautiful the feeling of deep belonging.
Moments of courage moments of love The images appear like ripples upon water.
Then disappear again The bowl is showing you possibilities.
Not promises Possibilities waiting for your participation.
You stand beside the altar.
The golden light begins to shimmer Tiny threads rise into the air.
Like sunlight becoming visible.
They circle gently around you.
Some believe that during the Lion's Gate The universe feels especially alive with possibility.
Imagine these golden threads carrying your intention.
Into the vastness of the cosmos.
Where every hopeful beginning has its own place to grow bring to your heart one intention for this journey hold it gently Feel its shape.
Its energy.
Its quiet excitement.
As that intention settles within you The bowl begins to glow.
A single drop of gold liquid rises into the air.
It floats towards you coming to rest just above your heart its warmth spreads gently through your chest.
Like the first rays of dawn reaching a sleeping landscape.
The temple responds.
Ancient symbols carved into the walls awaken one by one.
A soft hum fills the air.
The Lion's Gate,
Waiting beyond these walls,
Shines a little brighter as though one more light has been added to its constellation.
You leave the temple carrying no object in your hands,
Yet something has changed The intention you brought here no longer feels like a distant wish.
It feels alive.
You step back.
Onto the ancient pathway.
Above you,
The stars seem brighter.
Ahead.
The gate waits patient.
Radiant.
Calling you onwards.
Take one final breath.
Feel your body resting where you are.
Notice the sounds above you carry the warmth of that golden light with you as you return to your day.
And when you are ready.
Gently open your eyes.
Tomorrow,
We'll climb to the Celestial Observatory,
Where Sirius has guided travelers across the ages.
And the next step on your journey.
Will be revealed.
Until then.
Walk in wonder.
