Insight was latent in us before and we learned. Today, this hour, this minute, this instant, we learn Hindsight and Foresight. For those able, join with The Eldest and learn.”<br/><br/>Chloe begins to teach us.  No one moves.  We stand, hooded, open, and learn....<br/><br/>‘Sisters, observe’ … ‘this and this and this are mutations’ … ‘they originated here’ … many among us have the gene … others who don’t follow from curiosity … show them the pattern of how the gene found its way to the Languedoc … and back and back … ‘we tell in our legends of predecessors’ … ‘we have long initiated within a Boeotian as the Greeks called her’ … ‘before, one acolyte named Isis dared more’ … ‘here is what happened when she focused on Seirios at a most opportune time … show the focusing of the illumination of the supernova and how that mutated Isis’ genes … the very genes I showed earlier … let this all rest in our communal conscience …<br/><br/>… ‘now attend’ … and I feel a strange compulsion to go to her.  A desire to be part of the whole...<br/><br/>… ‘show them!’; … Carlotta requests … … ‘who will accept with me the gift that Chloe offers?’ … ‘step forward, we have no more time’ …<br/><br/>Chloe produces a vial....it glows with a blue irridescence....I go forward....to accept the gift...I go with Carlotta … Huguette … Tangie … Circe …<br/><br/>Chloe looks at me with love:  “This will not harm you, my dearest.”<br/><br/>I prepare to accept my gift with the other Sisters who will do it too.<br/>
