Creation Myths( BOOKLET)

In the beginning there was darkness. Nothing existed but
a floating Spirit. After having wandered in the endless
expanse for a long period the Spirit tried speeding time
to see if the future held something. The Spirit did so by
placing its palms in front of each other and rotated them in
opposite directions. A hot ball of fire, burning and spinning
extremely fast, ignited in its palms. The space between
started heating up and a rapid burst of energy shook it awake
from a deep state of meditation. Darkness permeated, yet
again. However, a bright light illuminated its chest and an
immense ripple of heat expanded through its form. Burning
and trickling through in a luminous yellow wave, the heat
slowly materialized and transformed the spirit’s amorphous
form into a feminine humanlike figure. As she transformed
further, everything that was contained within her , began dematerializing
and started burning off layers of skin, making
her clench and curl up in pain.
The heat and pain slowly dwindled into the darkness. She
observed her new skin and form for the first time. A strange
murky colour began engulfing her arms, legs and devoured
her entire body. She touched a spot gently and saw the odd
colour submerge under a mesmerizing yellow glow. Her
hands flowed and brushed onto every part of her body until
the murkiness subsided, leaving her glowing with energy.
At last, everything seemed at rest but a slight pulsating
sensation started magnifying in the centre of her face. She
instinctively rubbed her face and felt the motion give rise to
a pair of eyes, a nose, two ears and a mouth supported by a
set of lips. The tingling trickled its way to the top of her head
and transformed into fast growing strands of hair that, in
seconds, flooded the darkness.
As she floated through the enthralling galactic strands of
hair, she realized that there were changes still taking place
within them. She swam in the chaotic mess of her galactic
hair and zoomed in to find round fiery objects colliding with
each other. The fireballs reminded her of the big explosion
which gave her the new form. She wondered if there
were smaller versions of her being created in these fiery
round objects and observed them from a more zoomed in
perspective. What she was staring at was the sun and two
small molten balls of fire. One of them was approaching the
other at a great speed. The collision resulted in the formation
of a scorching hot raw Earth and the residue gave birth to the
moon. She was now certain that her miniature version would
be inside the planet Earth as she was also created from the
collision of her spirit self and the ball of fire.
As she picked up the Earth, it blazed and burnt her hands
making her eyes water. Big drops of tears escaped her eyes
and fell straight into the earth creating pools of water. Her
fingers started throbbing. She blew on them and the cool
wind crossed over towards the earth. The earth began to spin,
the moon shifted closer creating huge tides and a mega storm
broke out and started cooling the Earth.
The bright hot orange was now replaced with calm and
soothing shades of blue. She leaned closer and looked at it
suspiciously. Surely enough, hot orange liquid spewed up
from underneath the water, gulping it down and creating
small floating islands. To prevent the Earth catching fire
again, she blew on it until it became a frozen ball of ice.
Earth was now bearable and resembled a beautiful round
marble. She picked it up and looked within it but couldn’t
see past all the ice. So, she rubbed it until all the ice melted
and a naked earth was revealed. Finally being able to see
its contents, she enthusiastically looked within for a being
similar to her but there was nothing except vast oceans and
pieces of land. Her heart sank. Disappointed, she placed it
back where it belonged and let out a long sigh. Breath! The
difference between her spirit and her new form was that now
she had breath! She inhaled deeply, caught it in her palms
and poured it into the earth. Her breath seeped through the
ocean and small green plants started sprouting up. In an
ocean full of her breath, small green plants rose and swayed
along with the waves but that was not all. An intriguing
creature, breathing and moving, crawled amidst them. Life on
earth had finally begun to blossom.
