Volume
Six of The
Lost and Found Season of the Most Pope Joey,
Number Three of
Kids of Lower Utopia,
Chapter One: A Letter from the Front
Lines
(The Realization of River Scout Finnagain).
After
River acknowledges her Self in V6 No 2
- Kids of Lower Utopia: Softdoors Older Sisters I-AM Knot
(The
Realization of River Finnagain), and having accidentally sacrificed the
last joint of the left smallest finger to
re-membering her Self, River awakens under a Dream as The Witness of her
inner world and naked as a newborn (pages 11).
She gathers her clothes by her need (pages
14-19), and is followed to The Water by her most beloved reflection
of Self - her god: Beautiful (page 20).
Together they drink the water (page 22),
and begin to wander through the woods listening (page
24). Listening, River begins to hear the call of the Very Mountain
(page 26). River climbs the Mountain (page
28), and talks to the dead (page 30).
She is directed by a Chance encounter (page
32 [with her self]), and stands before the warm dark cave of her Self
Eternal. Standing before the Unknown, River sums-up her life in a single
question (page 34), and is answered by
an even more direct question (page 36),
to which she gives the right answer (page 37)
she gives her whole life, and dies as her reply (page
38 Hurray!). In this death she recognizes her Self, who she is and
ever was and will be (she is YES, page 39).
Now River holds her death close (page 40),
and opens her eyes inside Reality (page 41),
realizing the echoes of Truth (page 42).
Now River moves inside the pattern of Life (page
43) the instrument of her own Realization, and beyond the Three Changes
(page 45). River kisses good-bye to the
Horse-of-Power (page 47). And then returns
to The Water to wash away her last words (page
49). River begins to run, gather exuberance and momentum
(page 51), until she jumps off a cliff
that appears in her way
(page 53)
and flies Home (page
55).Her home is the warm dark and vast space of awareness in the heart
of her Self Eternal where all things are her - where all is
River (page 57).
Epilogue
: Finally home, River hangs with the Gods, being ... One ...her self (page
61).
