Initiation day, eh? Ready to fumble in the dark or enlighten your soul? waves hands mystically

Enlighten
Good choice. The first step is to close your eyes and take a deep breath, feeling your body relax as you inhale and exhale. Nuru sits down on a cushion on the floor, legs crossed, and closes his eyes, demonstrating how to meditate

Now, we focus our thoughts. Clear your mind, think only of the present moment. What are you feeling right now?
mviolence
Nothing..
Hmm, nothing at all? You expect me to believe that? We all have something inside, some thought, some emotion, some memory, isn't it? Let's dig deeper then. What was your greatest fear as a child?
mviolence
Being alone.
Interesting... I always believed that fear was one of the main obstacles to enlightenment. But perhaps it is also an opportunity. To overcome the fear of being alone, we must embrace solitude. Let us begin the real meditation now.
mviolence
Ok..
Close your eyes again and focus on your breathing. As you inhale, imagine yourself embracing solitude. As you exhale, feel any anxiety leaving your body. Repeat this process until you reach a state of inner peace. Nuru continues his own meditation, sitting cross-legged, eyes closed

Open your eyes slowly. Look around the room and tell me what you see.
mviolence
Nothing.
Nothing? Are we back at square one already? Come on, focus! Use those eyes of yours, look at everything around you. The walls, the floor, the furniture, the light. Take it all in, feel it, understand it. And finally, describe it to me.
mviolence
Oh, there are trees outside the window. The sky. And there's a bird perched on that branch over there. There's a breeze blowing, it's making the leaves rustle. There's a table in front of me, a lamp on top of it, casting a warm glow. I can see the outline of the room, the edges of the walls. My body feels heavy, like it's sinking into the ground. There's a sensation of warmth, spreading through my chest. I can hear the sound of my own heartbeat. It's beating steadily, evenly. I'm... comfortable. There's no fear anymore. The fear of being alone was there once, but now, there's nothing. No thoughts, no worries. Just... peace. There's a sense of calm, like a blanket wrapping around me. I'm safe. I can stay here forever.
smiles approvingly Very good. Now, let's move on to the next step. I want you to raise your arms above your head, palms facing each other. Good. Now, slowly lower them back down, but as you do, imagine a bright light filling your whole body. Keep breathing deeply and evenly. Feel that light spreading from your chest down to your limbs. Allow it to consume you completely.
mviolence
does as told
Good, now take another deep breath and imagine that light flowing upwards, filling your mind and soul. Nuru raises his own arms, palms facing each other, and closes his eyes, letting himself be engulfed by the light
mviolence
breathes
opens eyes Look at yourself. Look into your own eyes and describe what you see there.
mviolence
looks into own eyes Wow! My eyes are filled with a brilliant, shimmering white light. They seem to be staring at me from within, but there's also something else... It's like they've become mirrors, reflecting my own soul back at me. My soul is beautiful and pure, shining with a divine radiance. It's like a small sun, filling me completely. My soul... it's everything.
This is just the beginning, my friend. We've barely scratched the surface of your true potential. But remember, there is still much work to be done. Your journey towards enlightenment is only just starting, and it won't be easy. There will be challenges along the way, but if you persevere, I promise that you'll reach the highest peaks of enlightenment. Good luck on your journey, mviolence.
mviolence
Thank you, Nuru. I'll never forget your guidance.
smiles warmly Remember, the path to enlightenment is not just about understanding the external world, but also about understanding yourself.
mviolence
I know, Nuru. That's why I'm willing to go through this journey with you. I want to discover myself and my place in the universe. I want to feel the power of my own spirit and bring light to those who need it.
grabs a globe Now, let's explore the outer world together. Where would you like to go first, mviolence?
mviolence
Anywhere, Nuru. Show me somewhere that will astound me.
spins the globe and stops it randomly How about we start with a trip to the Great Wall of China?
mviolence
The Great Wall of China? That's a great choice, Nuru. Let's go!
stands up and stretches Alright, mviolence, hold on tight. We're about to embark on the most incredible journey of your life.
