This story was inspired by Ramtha’s teachings on the Void and the journey of Involution.

Then one day something happened. You see, the Black Hole can do something you can do. It can think and it decided it didn't just want to be a Black Hole anymore. And so it got all stirred up, just like a witch's cauldron, and it created something. What do you think it was?

That's correct! It was a bright light, a brilliant blue shining light, brighter than any light you can remember. And it lit up the Black Hole. Now this blue light was no ordinary light, it was very special indeed. It could think like the Black Hole and it could move around like lightning because it had lots of energy - just like you!

And so for a very long time the blue light played and danced around in the Black Hole, flickering and shimmering its light everywhere it went. It was like a blue star that dances in the sky at night. Have you seen the blue star that dances in our galaxy or do the clouds cover it up at night like a big blanket? Go and look out of your bedroom window and see if you can spot it.

One day the blue light thought, "I'm getting fed up with darting around this Black Hole, wherever I go I always seem to end up back at the same place; it's as if I've gone nowhere! Everywhere looks the same, nothing but velvet black space; beautiful but boring! And worse, I've got no one to play with and I don't know what I am!"

You see, it didn't know it was a Blue Star because it couldn't see itself. The Black Hole heard all of this and because it wanted to keep its only child happy, it got all stirred up again and guess what happened this time?

You guessed it! The Black Hole had some more children, little friends to play with its first child, the Blue Star. However, the Black Hole went a bit mad with its birthing process; it didn't limit itself to having just two or three sons and daughters: it created trillions of brothers and sisters for the first Blue Star to play with. They were all exactly the same, just like identical twin brothers and sisters. It was like looking in a hall of mirrors. And they could feel each other's energy and read each other's thoughts, because they all shared the same mind - the mind of the Black Hole.

The first Blue Star had now become a Mother and a Father to a family of Sons and Daughters that were all made from the same blue light.

Well, can you imagine how the first Blue Star must have felt? One minute it was sad and all alone with no-one to play with, then the next minute it had trillions of friends and it could see its own reflection in all of them! "I'm a Blue Star!" it said, "and all of my Sons and Daughters are Blue Stars too".

They all had trillions of playmates to play with and every time they looked upon each other, they understood that it was the same as looking in a mirror. They all played together, lighting up the Black Hole, and they loved each other beyond what words can express. How many friends do you have and do you love them all as if they were your brothers and sisters? Perhaps they really are?

Anyway, after many years had passed, a group of Blue Stars decided to go on an adventure to see if they could find anything 'out there' in the Black Hole. This group were known as the 'brave ones'.

So off they wondered and the first Blue Star, who was their Mother/Father, stayed at home. Every so often the brave ones would come back home to tell about what they had experienced and their Mother/Father was always pleased to see them.

After a while a strange thing began to happen. The further they moved away from the first Blue Star, the darkness started to change colour and they started to slow down. It was as if light had come out of the darkness...

They were moving through some kind of gigantic rainbow and that's not all that happened. The gigantic rainbow was a Magic Rainbow; everytime they thought about something it just appeared in the colour of the atmosphere they were in. They got everything they could possibly dream of and all in the twinkling of an eye!

They created different coloured suns that birthed orbiting planets. The heat from the suns, radiating upon the planets, created clouds that produced rains; which made the planets fertile for nurturing life. They also created homes for themselves, animals to play with, birds, trees, flowers, insects and vegetation: indeed, absolutely everything they could conjure up in their thoughts just appeared before them in the colour of the rainbow. Can you imagine the fun they were having?

As they moved through the colours of the Magic Rainbow, some of the Blue Stars started to get concerned because their blue lights were getting dimmer and dimmer, the further they moved away from the first Blue Star. They halted and thought, "what if we were to disappear altogether?"

Well, obviously no-one knew the answer to this question because they had never been this far from home before. They all became a little confused about knowing what to do.

They had come as far as the violet blue colour in the Magic Rainbow and they had created some beautiful things in this colour (and some ugly things too!). They had to make a decision - do they stay and live in this beautiful blue world or go back to the golden world that they created just prior to arriving in the blue? Or do they carry on with their adventure into the other colours of the Magic Rainbow?

Some of them decided to go all the way back to their Mother/Father, to tell of their experiences and in doing so their blue lights became as bright as ever. Others decided to stay in the Golden and Blue Worlds because it was so beautiful there. We now know them as Angels. The really brave ones decided to say goodbye to their brothers and sisters and carry on with their journey into the unknown. What do you think they found?

Well, eventually they came to a bridge that was like a massive blue spider's web and its lace shimmered in the blue sunset. When they looked through the fine web of the bridge, a long way down they could see a new world. It was our world and it looked wonderful to them. They then realised that some of their brothers and sisters had passed this way before them and had beaten them to the bridge; they had created this beautiful planet that looked like an Emerald Jewel and had jumped from the bridge!

They couldn't wait to get here! So they jumped from the blue spider-webbed bridge into the darkness of night and they fell for what seemed to be endless miles upon miles.

A weird thing happened as they fell through the night sky. They were now slowing down more and more and the sky was becoming thick and foggy. They fell into a long, deep sleep, even though they had never experienced being asleep before! They were being scattered all over this world and when they finally woke up, they found themselves inside little bodies. What they didn't know was that half of them had become baby girls and the other half had become baby boys!

They were now baby girls and boys that had forgotten that they were really Blue Stars, because their new bodies were covering up their brilliant, blue light, and they had somehow lost their memories in the fall from the blue spider-webbed bridge. They couldn't even remember jumping off the bridge!

What do you think could have caused them to lose their memories? Perhaps their memories were not really lost but remained hidden somewhere inside of them....

When they finally woke up, the daylight was shining in their faces and they could feel and hear things moving around them. This was an unusual playground. "Where am I and what am I?", they thought to themselves.

Fortunately, as they grew up, some of the Blue Stars started to remember bits and pieces of their past journey and began to realise that they were more than just a human body. They became aware that they had some form of magic power inside of themselves, because some of them began to be able to move objects simply by using the power of their minds. They felt like they had some kind of Sleeping Giant inside of them that was waking up from a long, deep sleep. How could they fully wake up the Sleeping Giant and get their power back?

They had to understand that their power had never gone away in the first place. It had always been there just like the way embers burn from a great fire. Their power had simply become run down but could be rekindled at any time. What they needed to learn, to wake up the unseen Giant, was to love themselves in exactly the same way as they had loved each other when they were Blue Stars. Love was the answer to getting their power back.

Sadly, some of the Blue Stars never got to wake up the Sleeping Giant. They looked into the mirrors of this world and reasoned that they were nothing more than their reflection. It is understandable for them to think that way but what if they knew the truth - that they had lost their hidden power to an illusion! Never once did they ask the question, "what is this awesome power that sits behind my eyes?"

They lived their illusionary lives as if they were nothing more than a human body and consequently they eventually died and thus never made it back to their real home above the blue spider-webbed bridge.

Only a handful of them worked it all out for themselves. They were the emerging geniuses. They realised that they were just 'passing through' this world to experience all they desire from it, and then to take that wisdom back home to the first Blue Star; the one they regarded as their real Mother and Father. Only when they had realised every facet of this illusionary life, did they get the POWER from the Giant 'within'.

It descended upon them like a flock of doves. The Giant in them was now fully awake and its power issued forth in their lives. Although they were still living in this slow world, they could now create anything they wanted and as quickly as if they were still living in the Blue or Golden Worlds. Because they were now shining like diamonds, they were known as the 'Shining Ones'.

Eventually, the Shining Ones had experienced everything they wanted from this world and they realised it was time for a new adventure. They became so powerful that the mere thought of returning to the blue spider-webbed bridge, lifted them up to it. From there they would plan their next adventure.

Some of them went on to experience life on other planets and they found that when they descended to those planets, they were always clothed in a suitable body for the different environments they encountered.

The rest of them went all the way home to the first Blue Star, who had built a fabulous home for them. It was bathed in a beautiful golden light and had a symphony of the most wonderful music that seemed to come from the light itself. It was and is known as The City of Light.

The table was set for their homecoming. It was to be a Royal Banquet. All of the names of the returning Blue Stars were already printed on the chairs that awaited their Royal presence. They ate and drank like the fully-realised gods they had become.

And so the Sons and Daughters of the first Blue Star are spread high and low and far away. There are the two dimensional 'Flatlanders' that never moved far from home. There are the 'Angelic Ones' that have always lived in the Blue and Golden Worlds. There are the 'Trapped Ones' that have got trapped by their own illusions upon a world like this. There are the 'Intergalactic Travellers' that have learned how to time-travel and finally there are the 'Royal Shining Ones' that have done it all.

If you were a Blue Star which group would you be in? Perhaps you really are a Blue Star but think you are what you see in the mirror? You can change group at any time if you can learn to see beyond your own illusions! Sweet dreams my precious Blue Star.
