Meditation
Tehuti nods as if he knows your thoughts, and says, “The proper tools are necessary.” He leads you to another scholar, a young man who is apparently just learning to scribe. He slowly and carefully draws the same pictograph over and over. You look up to see Tehuti’s eyes upon you. He turns, motions for you to follow, and leads you out to the courtyard. The Lord shows you the plants there, and the fish in the pool. He says, “There is much I have to teach you, but there is work for you to do. There are things you must know, knowledge you must have before I can teach you the greater Mysteries. The papyrus on which I write must be fine and smooth. The brush with which I draw must be well made. The ink must be finely ground and of a good quality. “All these things must be prepared by you, though the work is hard and often tedious. Prepare the tools, and you will be ready to learn what I have to teach.” Stay here a while with the Lord Most Wise. Perhaps He will have other wisdom to share with you. It is time to leave the Lord of Wisdom. You rise and bid him a respectful farewell. You walk back through the room of scrolls...Out the door to the path...Through the grain to the river. The river fades slowly...slowly...as the darkness reappears. Go to Ending.
Meditation: Anpu You find yourself in darkness. Though you can see nothing, you can feel a slight breeze. It gives you a feeling of vast, open space. You hear small sounds in the night. You move your feet, and learn from the feel and sound that you stand on rock and sand. 145
