Toward the Great Transition
The Lilliputians have been busy in the 320-odd years since their chance encounter on the beach with Lemuel Gulliver, and their centuries-long project, ‘The Great Transition’, begun just after the end of that extraordinary experience, is now approaching its conclusion.
The ’Tower of Symphonic Cohesion’ has been completed and activated by dint of the correct orientation of the specified controls. In the vast parkland surrounding the tower, we can see countless millions of expectant Lilliputians, circling the base of their mighty edifice as they begin the final journey inward to illumination and transcendence. Note please the clockwise direction of travel of the swirling masses.
Look closer at the base of that mighty Doric column and you’ll notice that the participants have formed themselves into orderly ranks (mimicking the very flutes of their colossal monolith) before they complete the final part of their journey with a symbolic straight-line march from the edges of the ‘Grand Circus’ to the entrance halls of the magnificent ‘Palace of Comprehension’, wherein they begin their transfiguration.
Once inside, individuals are transformed by the perplexing multi-dimensional geometry found within the structure. Bodies and worldly goods are converted directly into the energy required to maintain the exotic topology, whilst the very essence of each mortal being is recast as pure mind. This naked mind then rises up the vast column in an anticlockwise direction until it enters the ‘Urn of Coalescence’, which sits atop a simple capital at the summit of the tower.
And there, finally, the singular minds of the entire race will coalesce into the luminous, group-consciousness that is the culmination of this stage of their evolution. Once whole, this flawless psyche will take its place amongst the pantheon of unfamiliar beings who inhabit the higher dimensional realities; leaving the Urn and the Tower mere shells, and the Giants to marvel at the power of Lilliput.
If you look carefully, at the back, near to the enclosing wall, you can see another visiting Giant, carefully picking its way along the narrow path around the edge of the parkland, intent on finding the best spot from which to view the impending climax.
