Scene
Sixteen:
The
Mystery of Seeds and The Map of
Love
|
|
|
|
|
As before, ISIS is alone in the great hall of the palace.
Lights up on the PILLAR, inside which OSIRIS waits to be released.
MUSIC: Have You Seen Osiris? in its
major key as The Mystery of Seeds.
|
|
The Mystery of
Seeds
|
|
ISIS
(Sings:)
|
|
Have
you seen Osiris?
Have
you danced with the King
In
the breath of Creation
And
the beat of the Spring?
Have
you gazed in amazement
At
the flood and green reeds
Have
you looked on eternity
Beholding
the Mystery of Seeds?
Will
you grow so strong
That
your loins will teem
With
the life that your lover feeds?
Have
you seen Osiris? (Repeat.)
|
|
OSIRIS (OFF, as light grows on the Pillar,
Sings:)
|
|
Have you known fair Isis,
And
the bounty of grain,
Has
her warmth so enclosed you
That
you melted to rain?
|
|
|
SOUND: Swallow's cry. ISIS embraces the PILLAR. LIGHTS
fade to black in the Space as NEPHTHYS KHU appears. ISIS exits
during this next speech:
|
|
NEPHTHYS:
|
Sooner or later Isis has to tell the Queen what's really in
that pillar, and get her help in getting Osiris out. So far the
way to do this hadn't come to her. As she kept looking for an
answer, she taught the daughters of the Queen the spiritual arts
of womanhood: herbs and medicines, divination and prophecy, and
dance, and other essential matters of learning to live with courtesy
and respect for what is loving, and to honor what is sacred.
|
|
ASTARTE, her SERVANTS and CHILDREN enter with chairs and cushions, position themselves on the floor. The SUMMER SKY is shown on the upper dome of the Space.
|
|
NEPHTHYS:
|
Hathor, as Isis continued to call herself, taught these things
by day, and some- times by night. She is about to give a Star
Lesson that does run long, even by the standards of this story.
We offer you only a taste before you decide where to go next.
Ladies and gentlemen, Isis teaches the Map of Love in the Summer
Sky.
|
|
ISIS enters and NEPHTHYS KHU vanishes.
|
|
ISIS:
|
|
As you get older and keep looking at the Sky, you see
that there are four maps in the night, each one placed there by
the One God who drew the whole sky, and filled it with pictures
that contain messages. The symbols in the sky are the hidden codes
of wisdom and of life for the teaching, empowerment and advancement
of all conscious beings on these planets.
|
|
Learn these maps in the sky, and you can fly into lives
of compassion, mercy and unalloyed pure love. Imagine holding
love in your heart for a lifetime, without once letting
any lower, lesser, heavier feeling ever get into the heart
at all. No anger, no fear, no grief, no hate, nothing in
the heart for a lifetime but lifting, healing, embracing
love. Every human being can do this by mastering the four
elements of life.
|
|
Each season teaches one. Autumn is the Map of Abundance,
winter the Map of Light, spring the Map of Creation. And
what you see above you now, the summer sky, is the Map of
Love.
