In the home stretch

I think I'm going to make it hopefully since I'm to the part at temple where Chris and Minerva meet the monk named Zakita and I only have to write the parts at the Boardwalk and the Kiva Retreat before next Monday. I got the music video up on YouTube, it doesn't match the music as well as Moulin Rouge but it gets the idea across since I already put a lot of effort into synching the clips with Love Medley using the Squall and Rinoa footage.



I wanted to have Zakita mention the The Tibetan Book of the Dead so that Minerva can hear about how the Involution and Evolution of consciousness described in the Bardo Thodol fit in with Eros and Thanatos so that Minerva could find out about how another part of her assignments fit in with the place she finds herself and the formula Eros less than Thanatos equals Involution greater than Evolution. I'll work in some verses fron the book that Zakita tries to explain contacting other states of consciousness.

The All-Good Father, and the All-Good Mother, the Great Ancestors of all the Buddhas:
Samata-Bhadra, the Divine Father and the Divine Mother these two, also
will come to shine. These forty-two perfectly endowed deities, issuing from within thy heart, being the product of thine own pure love, will come to shine. Know them.

O nobly-born, these realms are not come from somewhere outside thyself. They come from within the four divisions of thy heart, which, including its centre, make the five directions. They issue from within there, and whine upon thee. The deities, too, are not come from somewhere else: they exist from eternity within the faculties of thine own intellect. Know them to be of that nature.

O nobly-born, if thou hast not understood the above at this moment, through the influence of karma, thou wilt have the impression that thou art either ascending, or moving along on a level, or going downwards. Thereupon, meditate upon the Compassionate One.

O nobly-born, now the signs and characteristics of the place of birth will come. Recognize them. In observing the place of birth, choose the continent too. If one is to be born as a deva, delightful temples built of various precious metals also will be seen. One may enter therein; so enter therein.

Plus the suggestion that they try Kundalini yoga to give Chris the idea of trying it at the Kiva Retreat. But it need the part where Minerva gets depressed at her failure to contact Odin at the temple and Chris takes her to the Boardwalk to cheer her up.

After the concert on the sand, Chris could take Minerva to the Cocoanut Grove Santa Cruz: Grand Ballroom and show her how romantic ballroom dancing can be when people are in tune with each other. That will give Minerva pause when she talks to Odin. Chris can find out about the 8-Circuit Model to show how it fits with another part of her cases for the GAB and how he complements her talents to get the job done better.
