The Inauguration of Zara

"Do not speak of God without a light." – Pythagoras

(The Somnambulist Dimension)  

And when Zara reached the top of the Tower of Silence*, he shouted with excitement:

"I am holy, I am full.. My Body is made out of matter, and energy is my Soul.. Witness my becoming.. Matter transforms, and energy never dies.."

The Tower of Silence thought:

"HUSH Zarathustra.. You are not to speak, but to feel.. You are to fly, not to kneel."

There, Zara was overwhelmed by a massive sense of groundness, as if his soul was made out of a much, much heavier substance than his body, contradicting the very laws of Divine Gravity..

Calmly he said:

"Indeed, but silence me no more.. I will follow my shadow in allegiance with the SUN.. And when the Witching Hour comes, I will fuse my beginning along with your end - And ignite your blessings with all of my sins."

Then, he raised his swearing right hand, and thought with humility and delight:

"I worship no FIRE, yet GOD is my light."

*A tower of silence (known also as a ‘dakhma’): is a type of structure used for funerary purposes by adherents of the Zoroastrian faith. This Zoroastrian practice for the disposal of the dead involves the exposure of the corpse to the sun and vultures. This practice has been used traditionally by Zoroastrians, though it has become less common in recent times. As a result, there are a number of disused towers of silence, which no doubt have an air of mystery around them.
