HISTORY OF THE END OF THE WORLD

REBELLION IS OBEDIENCE TO GOD

Laura sat on her bed and felt exhausted. The Master had said, that she was in the eye of the hurricane, but it felt quite the opposite. She just had a complete workout in the gym. All was directed on self-defence. She had fought with sticks, not to hurt, but to disarm. It asked for a completely different attitude. Travelling the world she experienced that her training in martial arts in Australia payed of. But here she felt a naive amateur. Some of her partners were good, very good. Her body hurted and she felt bruises apeare on her arms and legs. She lacked speed and it would be quite a while, before she could try to perform, the tricks and blows, she saw tonight. “Think about Starwars. Follow the flow. Everything is movement. Use it. Dance.” The teacher, a young Asian, was the only one, who spoke. When he rose, everybody stood still and watch in awe at his elegant moves. His demonstrations remembered Laura of the South-American Jaguar. Sometimes he changed partners. Laura had met a few, but they all seemed superior to her. She would have to work hard in the coming weeks.

She took her waterbottle and drank. It was about ten o'clock in the evening. At this time the place was quiet. She was completely on her own. Even though she had followed some classes that day, enjoyed a simple meal and had had participated in self-defense group, there was only one thing on her mind. It felt as if the card sended songs of calling to her. Before she opened her bag, she performed some meditation and relaxation excercises. Relaxed after a couple of minutes and mentally refreshed she took the card and held it in front of her.

The front-side looked blank, but the card seem to move at will. It was as if she was looking into a pool, of which the water had been disturbed. But instead of calming down, the movements got more intense and she thought to hear a sound, like the rolling surf on the beach. It had an direct relaxing effect, but it her mind also got filled with images, she could recognise. At least not as material objects, more like a hallucinatic dream. For the first time in months she felt totally relaxed. Laura closed her eyes.

“Don't close your eyes.”, a loud voice said. The spell seemed to be broken. When she looked at the card. The mist had cleared and she saw the Master sitting at his desk. He was holding a card in his hand. “Welcome Laura, to another world of communication. Our cards are tuned now and we have a direct form of communication. Distances don't matter. Let the card guide you, but take care. Using the cards can be very dangerous. You are opening yourselve to another universe.”
