["D/A" narrates. You will remember in the last episode that Dorothy/Alaya hears who she thinks is The Lady speaking: 'Come . . .' —A.A.]
___Active Patience
Feelings, thoughts, wonderments from our trip to the Well and the Wild Wood were mixing it up, dancing lightly round me. In bed, drifting I was, but still aware of my room. Relaxed, I let go, and felt (as if someone—'Hurry it up!' —had poked me!) my body lurch, and I leapt awkwardly into the flow. Unable to maintain the quickening, I lost balance, slipped back into that familiar, drifting feeling felt just before falling asleep. Then it happened again.
            Again I leapt into a realm more pure, and glimpsed a liquid white-light portal with colors within it unlike anything I had ever seen. And in that they were INDESCRIBABLY similar to the colors seen turbulent at Wood's End not so long ago, still, they were warmly mind-blowing—deep purple but deeper, almost black with dimension; gem-green jeweled (emerald and glittering), and beyond and behind, other colors  swirled, softening into a scenery with one, continuous, fluid movement. Intuition? "These colors are Lady-driven. (Mm-hmm.) The Lady is behind this." And I wondered if this vision—the light, the portal, and that which lay beyond—lay in wait with designs of our mission. Wyl and mine. Passing into the dream state, I wondered how it was that intuition and wonderment worked together?
            Sleep (if one can call it that) overcame. It seemed but a moment and I found myself hovering, gazing down at Alaya, sitting there, cross-legged in the thicket. The Lady appeared, hovering in mid-air. She looked quite like Mary. "Go to the body," she said. "Go to Alaya, Dorothy." I tried, but couldn't move!
            "Just picture it as being done," she said. "You have done it before."
            "Yes, but that was . . . that was—" then I noticed a soft light radiating about myself (my Self—my Soul Self) as I floated above the thicket. Following The Lady's direction, I poured the soft-light into the body below, into Alaya.
My soul-self followed. 
            "Use this body," she said. "Listen to it carefully. Every pore gathers and transmits information, if you will BUT listen to and feel the energy. When shifting into deer, hawk, or wolf—in Dreamtime or when in focused concentration—do the same using their bodies. They have agreed, and they each have a different medicine, or an other perspective, whereby and wherein the energy will come to you in new and varied ways. And powerful. So let me repeat, in progressive fashion: if you will BUT listen and feel deeply when you merge. Know, however, that in any case, in any body, yours, theirs, so goes the gathering AND transmission of the energy/feeling to and through your developing soul-self (yes your DEVELOPING soul-self; but again, beware the power), and then rightly used, out into your world." 
            As I merged my consciousness with that of my body's, I felt the light burst into being. I wanted to describe the burst—frankly—as orgasmic; but because it was so much more in body and mind, I couldn't truly create the association. So I let go and became it; and the initial impact soon levelled out, and I quickly settled down and grew more aware, for I could now feel the two aspects of consciousness (Body and Mind? Body and Soul?) vibrating together. It felt quite like the time I had merged with young Wyl. The Lady, on cue, spoke.
            "That which you are feeling, these are your masculine/feminine energies as they 'COME TOGETHER!'" She breathed her whispered words with magnified emphasis, cracked a smiled, then: "But you will soon discover, when you are at last fully prepared to meet and begin your campaign with Wyllen, that when you and he merge your energies with each other, there will be 'INCREASE'  in that feeling. This then will begin a fusion of the masculine/feminine within you becoming one with the feminine/masculine within him. And you will of course then feel your Oneness together—the energy. Yes. But this does not mean the two of you are the same. It means that you have a same gridwork and that you work together also within a same gridwork-fusion process. Do you follow?"
