Query, A Star
Once in time without time a star burst into life. In size it was insignificant and its burst was tiny, barely a blimp in the area of the universe where it appeared. However, the energy that it carried was brilliant for such a little one. Divine Source created the star and its spirit. It named the new creation Query.
Shortly after it came into being the new star was bursting at its gaseous core to be something more, to expand and to learn.
Query kept asking the near by stars questions about the life of a star.
They replied,“A star stays in one place until it burns out; waits to become a star again and then repeats.
“What happens in between”? asked the little one.
“You go back into the Divine Source. Return to the great one’s brilliance,” was always the response.
“What does that mean?”
“We’re not sure. Besides, you ask too many questions. You are here. Be what you are- a star. “
“What if I don’t always want to be a star?”
“Star energy always returns to star energy. That’s the way it is. Stop with the questions!” Most of the stars began to ignore Query.
One old star, one that was close to burning up, spoke for the first time, “No star that I know of has ever been inquisitive like you. When you return to being a star as many times as I have, it can be boring. You have me thinking that It might be fun to be something else.”
The ancient one added, “Only the Divine Creator can answer your questions.”
“But how do I do find it to ask what I want to know?” Query asked.
The old one spoke patiently, “Every one of us is connected to the Divine Source. It’s where we come from and return to. We are part of It and It is us.”
“It’s a huge version of me, of all us put together?” inquired the new star.
“Basically, yes.”
The other stars started mumbling, complaining that the old star was losing its senses and should be quiet.”
The wise and elderly star replied, “At least Query and I are willing to be different. It’s taken me eons and the spirit of a new star to get me to become curious. Things are changing. The Divine Source, in creating Query, is showing us that.
The last time I remember change occurring was when a planet called earth came into being. The spirits who go there have the power of free will. I remember how excited their sunstar was to be part of that system. I don’t know what happened, but it had everyone buzzing with excitement. If you find out anything about earth, let me know before I die again.”
“Old one, how do I communicate with The Divine Source? How do I find it?”
“I told you, you come from the Divine One and are always part of its energy, as are we all. Think your question and ask for an answer.”
“That’s it? Why haven’t I heard anything yet?”
The other star replied, “Patience.You haven’t asked the Divine One directly. You need to quiet yourself or you are going to burn up and have the shortest life span of any star.”
“I’ll try. Thank you for helping me. I know I get excited.”
“It’s okay, Query. I’d like to keep you around as long as I am here.”
Then wise star continued, “First think of your beginning, if you can – that bursting into being of you. It will give you a sense of the energy you come from. Next, think of what you desire to know.”
Query quieted its thoughts and imagined its beginning. Almost immediately a powerful, loving presence made itself part of the star’s awareness.
“Well, well, my newest star, you learn quickly and you are inquisitive, as I had hoped. You are stirring up this part of the universe,” spoke Divine Source.
“I can hear you!”
“Yes indeed, little one. You have my attention. What do you want?” asked the the Creator.
“I’m stuck here in one place with no change.I am grateful for being here, but I want to explore, to learn new and amazing things. I want to move, not just the gases that keep moving and exploding in my body, but the part that isn’t gas, that is the knowing me. Do you understand?”
“I do understand, little one. You are very perceptive.”
Query spoke again, “The old star mentioned a place called earth. Did you create it?”
“Yes, it comes from me. Many of the spirits go there to experience it’s free choice and learn how powerful and wonderful pure love is.”
“Is it possible to move on earth?”
“Yes it is, but not as a star.’
“Being a star is boring. When I finish this life may I return as something different and go somewhere else?.”
The Divine Source responded, “You are a joy! You are one of only a small percentage of my creations to ask to be something different. I am pleased that you have awakened that energy in the ancient star spirit, as well.”
Creator added, “When, in time and space, and all is where it is meant to be, I will send both of you to earth. Until then, you will need to be patient and take in all you can in the form you are now. It is the best way to grow and change and prepare for a new adventure. For now It is time to end our talk. It has been a pleasure to speak with you, Query.”
After those last words, Divine Source left.
For a moment the youngest star was quiet taking in what had it had heard.
The old one spoke before the silence ended, “A new adventure is coming for both of us, little one. I heard the conversation. I am honoured to be chosen to spend time with you in a different form, when the time is right.”
The two spirits lived their star journeys until the Divine Creator knew that all things were ready to send them to their new adventure.
