Passage of Returning

Leaving the Cavern by the way you came in you are greeted by the Caretakers once again. They quietly bring you to a very large tapestry that is woven with many spiral designs. Pulling aside the tapestry reveals a passage.

"This passage will bring you back to the Garden of Sanctuary. You are always welcome to return. Now that you have been initiated you may enter through the Mystic's Entrance directly (bookmark the Mystic's Entrance). However, you are encouraged to make the initiation journey many times. Each time you come you will be different -- different in mind, different in emotion, different in spirituality -- so each time will provide new insights. Fare well on your journeys."

The passage is adequately lit by large, thick, white candles in recessed niches. It slants upward and slowly spirals around. The walk is unearthly quiet. It is almost as if you are not of this world any longer. It is almost as if you are walking the Void between Time and Space. There is only you, and the Divine within you. There is nothing else.

You walk.

Eventually you reach a wall at the end of the tunnel. Pressing your hand against the wall you feel the coldness of marble. Pushing the wall swings it open -- and a torrent of light and color spills in on you in a rising crescendo of life.

You are back in the Garden of Sanctuary.
