Close your eyes,

gently turning inward,

and allowing your energy

to focus just on you.

LONG PAUSE

Take a deep breath

and snuggle up

so you’re cozy

and comfy.

LONG PAUSE

Now, just allow your body

to let go,

to completely melt

into your bed

in total relaxation.

LONG PAUSE

As you relax,

your mind and body

find that space

where you can 

just be…

and it feels wonderful.

LONG PAUSE

Imagine standing 

on the black and white 

marble floor 

of a mysterious 

and magical library.

PAUSE

And in the library

are countless books–

floor after floor of books–

as high as you can see.

PAUSE

Pockets of sun stream through the library,

illuminating hidden collections of

ancient books.

The books pique your interest

with their secrets of life

and secrets of the past.

PAUSE

As you stroll through

the shelves,

titles of 

thousands of 

leather-bound 

books reveal themselves,

beckoning you to 

take a closer look.

PAUSE

After a few moments

of combing the stacks,

an elevator with an iron door

appears, and safely, you step into it.

 

PAUSE

Inside the elevator

you’re struck by its beauty–

all brass and white marble

with no buttons to push for floors;

the elevator just knows

where to take you.

PAUSE

The elevator stops on a floor,

and the doors open.

Curiously, you exit

and begin perusing the stacks,

eager to learn what wisdom they hold.

 

PAUSE

Walking through the shelves of books,

a light energy buzzes in you,

the energy of learning 

fills your soul.

PAUSE

A thick, brown leather book

with gold lettering 

and yellow, dusty pages

calls to you, 

and as you reach for it,

the book magically lifts off the shelf

and opens on a table 

where you can read it.

PAUSE

The yellowy pages

hold elaborate calligraphy

with vivid color images 

of royalty and faeries

and everyday men

from the sixteenth century..

PAUSE

Now, imagine the images

spring from the pages

and holographic characters

begin talking in Olde English

right in front of you.

PAUSE

Magically, you understand everything:

two sets of lovers quarrel,

a king complains about his daughter,

and a group of everyday men

try to put on a play

that is so bad, you have to laugh.

Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream

comes to life before your eyes.

PAUSE

After a few moments, 

the images dissolve 

back into the book, 

and another book

flies off the shelf 

to you.

PAUSE

Before your eyes,

Galileo rises,

telescope in hand,

as he gazes at the stars.

PAUSE

Galileo is silent at first,

looking deep into the cosmos

that unfolds around you

with twinkling stars and 

swirling galaxies.

PAUSE

You see exactly what Galileo sees:

the full moon shining, Venus aglow, 

and Jupiter with its moons.

They all light up before you.

PAUSE

Then, Galileo puts down his 

telescope and feverishly 

scribbles something in a notebook.

PAUSE

Fascinated by his every move,

you try to read Galileo’s notes

and understand his calculations. 

PAUSE

Then something tells you sit back

and breathe, 

and while breathing,

you absorb Galileo’s knowledge naturally

like you were given a new lens 

to see the world.

PAUSE

The pages close, 

and the astronomer disappears

back into the magical book,

leaving you with

a joy from learning.

PAUSE

As you walk to the elevator,

you feel your soul

collecting the knowledge

from all the texts,

all the books in the library.

PAUSE
