INSPIRATION
Ebrahim and Sarah stepped closer to the centre of the circle . In the very middle gushed a fountain of clear , pure water . The fountain had a stem in its centre and the water fell from the top of this stem in the form of a perfect circle . It was like looking at a perfect crystal mushroom . Curious as they were , the children sought to take a drink from this fountain . They were surprised to find that the fountain was not really water . It did not even wet their hands ! They looked at the bottom of the fountain stem and it seemed like this magical water was coming from an opening deep , deep within the earth . The opening went as far under the ground as the seven trees rose toward the sky . Sarah , disappointed that she could not get a drink from this fountain , said to Ebrahim , “ This water is strange but unkind . I am thirsty and it did not give me what I wanted .” Eb-rahim replied , “ Sarah , this is not water ! Whatever this fountain is , it is very special . It has roots that go deep into the earth and it is protected by trees that touch the sky ! I have never seen anything like this before !” Ebrahim and Sarah heard the Voice of Inspiration speak to them from within the fountain . This was the Voice that taught them about the “ Unseen ” at dusk and dawn each day . The Voice said to them , “ Children , you have found the Eternal Pool . This Pool has no beginning and no end . It is of the forest and it is not of the forest . It is of this world and it is not of this world . Whilst it looks like water , it is not water . But see ! Look carefully — it Flows ! It Flows Continuously . It is the Eternal Pool . From this Pool , you can draw all that you need , anything and everything ! You cannot touch or feel this Pool but it can provide you with Everything . It even Flows within you at all times , but you are not aware of it . Remember though , it must always Flow . It can never become stagnant . Those that are part of its Flow will receive more and more . Those that try to stop its Flow will lose everything . This , Ebrahim and Sarah , is the Law of the Eternal Pool . You are being shown this Pool for you are now ready to receive your offspring . You will have children that are little forms of you . They will grow up and have children of their own . Thus there will be many , many , many of you ! There will be so many of you that the forest will have to keep stretching itself each day to look after you . But remember that you and your children will receive all your needs from this Pool . As you receive you must give , for this Pool must always Flow ; its cycle must always be complete . If you stop giving , then you will be stopping its Flow and that would cut you out from everything .” Ebrahim and Sarah asked , “ But how could one ever stop giving ? That is just not the way of the forest .”
