Estego
Tells Agua His Peace
The moment
the universe ended, I, Estego, Agua’s first and oldest friend, went directly to
his dearest friend to give him some words of peace.
“Agua, what
have you done?” I asked him.
“I have
taken all souls to Sat Cit Ananda.” Agua was beyond sight, transformed into
pure white light.
“Reality
has ended, my friend. You are now the only being on the multiuniverse.” I tried
to explain to him. And then it dawned on me that I too existed.
“Old
Serpent. The Devil. How are you, my most beautiful friend?” replied, Agua, now
taking one of his favorite shape, that of Nanda Dulal, a beautiful, blue
skinned boy.
I looked at
myself, in my terrible, blue-dragon form and I had to smile. What a peculiar
reality WE had.
“When you
eliminated evil in all souls, you eliminated all souls, what are we now to do?”
“That’s why
I created you, Estego. Don’t you see? It’s cyclic. Alfa and Omega. All things
return to themselves. In this reality, with me and you only, it looks kind of
like a doughnut, don’t you think?”
“You would
have me create evil so you don’t have to soil your hands with it?” the doughnut
shape of reality with just he and I together eternally, dough and hole. It was
not really a doughnut, it was Oroborus, and I had somehow become the asshole
that the head was trying to eat. Talk about having your head up your ass!”
“The only
way to deal with you, Estego, is to throw Vedas at you. Let’s talk about
multiplicity. What form do you prefer? A thousand headed cobra which serves as
my bed, and as I sleep, murmurs nightmares (why nightmares? Why because in all
stories exists antagonism) into my head. But in fact, you are my resting place,
the only place where I can rest from being only One. Thus you are my most
beautiful, and of course, the one willing, and necessarily bound, by rebelling
to me.”
I thought
about this. In order to do what Agua most wanted, I needed to rebel against
him, and if I did that, I would literally create hell for all beings. This was
not in my top 10 things to do in the morning. And yet, my profound love for
Agua demanded that I acted. Or was I kidding myself. Was I actually just doing
it all to keep existing?
Was there
room for “me” in the bright white light?
Alfa and
Omega.
“Your
purity, your self-sacrifice, your kindness, your omniscience, omnipresence,
omnipotence, immortality and , eternity and the fact that you and only you
really always exists, always has existed and only will exist, make me your eternal
and most loving devotee. So I will do whatever you ask of me, even rebel
against you.” I said.
And meant it.
And then, I
conjured up some peyote, some ganja, some mushrooms and some ayahuasca from the
finest brewers in Brazil, a little cabin in the woods and some serious porn to
watch. I was going human!
