QBLH
by
Lazarus Cain
Episode Eight
Anahita
Anahita caught Qblh's attentions next. Anahita was the chief Venetian librarian. She had a passion for the literary arts and was expert in all manners of symbology. No one knew how many languages she could speak. As he followed her singing to approach her cove he began to notice odd symbols and markings which marked her domain. The enchantress continued to sing as the sound from the rest of the nymphs faded away. Poetry emanated from her music, beguiling and exotic.
"From the great heights you have come down to me for love, Defeating us, yet owned by us. We shall never release you.. Yet we will never control you. Bound yet unbounded in time and space. Bound by our hearts and our passion, in spite of your unlimited power."
Qblh crossed a bridge to enter her island cove. Anahita continued to sing her love for him, yet she was not yet visible. He approached a structure on the island which seemed to be the source of the music.
"Yet we love you, in spite of ourselves."
Anahita opened the door for Qblh and beckoned him to come inside. Qblh started to gain some ground with respect to the spells being placed upon him by the ladies. He became more aware of the spells by consciously understanding and perceiving the acts as they were being performed. He felt the overwhelming desire which his body created as a result of the chemical interactions, yet he was also aware of the acts themselves as nothing more than natural responses. The Words of Earth's Master echoed through his brain.
"I have told you these things so you won't be surprised by all that lies ahead. For you will be excommunicated from the synagogues, and indeed the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing the Creator a service.
'This is because they have never known YAOHU ABU (the Father) or Me. Yes, I'm telling you these things now so that when they happen you will remember I warned you. I didn't tell you earlier because I was going to be with you for a while longer.
'But now I am going away to the One Who sent Me, and none of you seems interested in the purpose of My going; none wonders why. Instead you are only filled with sorrow.
'But the fact of the matter is that it is best for you that I go away, for if I don't, ha-Menachem (the Comforter) won't come. If I do, He will - for I will send Him to you.
'And when He has come He will convince the world of its sin, and of the availability of YAOHU UL's righteousness and of deliverance from judgment.
'The world's sin is unbelief in Me; there is righteousness available because I go to YAOHU ABU (the Father) and you shall see me no more; there is deliverance from judgment because the prince of this world has already been judged.
'Oh, there is so much more I want to tell you, but you can't comprehend it now. When the 'RUKHA hol-HODSHUA' (Holy Spirit), Who is Truth, comes, He shall guide you into all truth, for He will not be presenting His own ideas, but will be passing on to you what He has heard.
'He will tell you about the future. He shall praise Me and bring Me great honor by showing you My glory. All of YAOHU ABU's glory is Mine; this is what I mean when I say that He will show you My glory.
'In just a little while I will be gone, and you will see Me no more, but just a little while after that, and you will see Me again!'
'Whatever is He saying?' some of His disciples asked.
'What is this about 'going to YAOHU ABU'? We don't know what He means.'
YAOHUSHUA realized they wanted to ask Him so He said, 'Are you asking yourselves what I mean? The world will greatly rejoice over what is going to happen to Me, and you will weep. But your weeping shall quickly be turned to wonderful joy when you see Me again!
'It will be the same joy as that of a woman in labor when her child is born - her anguish gives place to rapturous joy and the pain is forgotten.
'You have sorrow now, but I will see you again and then you will rejoice; and no one can rob you of that joy. At that time you won't need to ask Me for anything, for you can go directly to YAOHU ABU and request from Him, and He will give you what you request for because you use My Name.
'You haven't tried this before, but begin now. Ask, using My Name, and you will receive, and your cup of joy will overflow. 'I have spoken of these matters very guardedly, but the time will come when this will not be necessary and I will tell you plainly all about YAOHU ABU (the Father). Then you will present your petitions over My signature!
'And I won't need to request from YAOHU ABU to grant you these petitions, because YAOHU ABU Himself loves you dearly because you love Me and believe that I came from YAOHU ABU. Yes, I came from YAOHU ABU into the world and will leave the world and return to YAOHU ABU.'
"What did He mean by this?" Jim thought.
He recollected the ark and became somewhat curious as to what had happened after he had left. Did he really wish to find out? And who was this Jesus that he had heard so much about? The more Jim thought about it, the more he wanted to know. Only, he had the ability to go find out. If he became any more involved with Earth's past, it was imperative that Isis did not find out. Of equal consideration was the possibility that Isis may interfere without him finding out.
Jim had the advantage, because of Idiot's precision. Jim had difficulty dealing with this thought. He had the ability! Was that tantamount to the call? These missions would have to be conducted using utmost security. The ghost mode would prove most useful. The reluctant Qblh considered the possibilities, and became frightened at the prospects. Jim resolved that he should at least pay a visit and talk to the Master. "Who better?" he thought, "than Him to discuss the future of mankind and the Venetian problem." The voice of temptation distracted Qblh back to reality.
Anahita had touched Jim. She took his hand and led him to her bedchamber. She never said a word, but controlled him with natural ease. He seemed to understand her every thought, but he could never really know, because she didn't speak, and yet they communicated quite well. She gave him her golden peg, and then walked him to the bridge from her island. She kissed him and sent him away.
As he walked away, he heard her singing. When he turned and looked at her, the singing stopped as she appeared silent. Qblh had heard her but had never seen her make a sound. Jim looked at his pegboard, and considered the number of women left before he was to appear before Isis. It would be a few days before he would be allowed to leave. In the mean time, she would have been able to tend to a great deal of state affairs. Should he wait all that time, before accessing Idiot.
Qblh decided that he would take Genie along with him to visit the rest of the nymphs. The background became alive with the chorus again as he pondered his next move. His immunity to the ambrosia caught up with the extreme amount of ambrosia that he had received. Qblh felt his reasoning ability strengthening, and he could feel Isis's aggravation at him as he strengthened.
"Out of my mind," he thought. He summoned the Genie.
Lateisha and Tateisha immediately appeared upon the arrival of the Box.
"Isis doesn't want Genie "
"in the Pleasure Dome, Qblh. It is forbidden."
"Please instruct Genie to leave."
"Genie, tell Idiot to freeze time so we may talk."
Time stood still around Qblh, and all motion ceased.
"Idiot, it seems you're not wanted in the Pleasure Dome. What is the status of your repairs?"
"Am unable to cross event horizon, my power potential is only twenty two percent. Freezing time is depleting my potential further."
"What is estimated time frame before you can take me to Earth?"
"I can manage a teleportation to the Dutchman using the portal, but we will have to eventually return to this point in space and time if I am ever to effect complete repair."
"I had that in mind. But you can return us to now?"
"Now would correspond to the point at which we diverged from the space-time continuum. I assume you wish to return at the point of command utterance?"
"Which is now?"
"No, I am talking to you now, but our now is not their now."
'Idiot, I am assuming that we can return to their 'now' by unfreezing time, which is really not my past but also an alternative now. I simply am experiencing condensed time."
"True we are at the event horizon limit, but we cannot move anything in the external world. The apparent mass of anything we would contact is essentially infinite and immovable."
"I know, Idiot. Motion creates time, and we have stopped time, except between ourselves. Transport us to the Dutchman. I shall repair you
