Once upon a time (actually, about 3400 years ago),
Somewhere far, far away (but actually quite close),
There lived a small spark of light, a shining bright indigo-light.
He lived with his family (other sparks of light), a group of many millions.
Actually, when they joined their light-sparks, no one knew how many they were.
In union, the family became a great ball of light, like a small shining Sun.
None of the sparks could explain their age, but they were very ancient.
Nevertheless, each had heart like a child, and a mind so very, very old.
Actually, they were ageless, and no one measured life in time anymore.
They were all brothers and sisters, and to them, their father/mother was the Sun.
The small spark didn’t have a name; they didn’t even have a ‘naming concept.’
But, we can call him TAU － which means something like “ankh” or “cross.”
Maybe later you’ll understand why he chose to be named TAU while on earth.
TAU’s group felt great delight just being sparks of light, with open-heart wisdom.
They had been cosmic family for a very long time, long before even memory began.
Above all, they loved the great spark － the Sun at the center of our solar system.
For them, Sun was their light-source and spiritual teacher, their dearest close friend.
So naturally, without having to think about it, they felt deep love for the Sun.
They often danced in joy on the Sun’s great face of light.
Their sun-dancing was prayer and worship, sex and meditation, all at once.
I guess it’s hard for most earth humans to understand that…
It was an extremely happy life for all, even blissful and ecstatic.
TAU was perfectly fulfilled in this life, and since they lived outside time, their joy was endless.
When they sun-danced, what human science calls “sunspots” were created
These sunspots went everywhere － up and down, round and round, out and out.
Tiny sparks flew from bigger sparks, flashing from the great fire-light Sun disc.
Of course, some of those sunspots flew through space to planet earth.
Since they lived in absolute light, the sparks saw all that happened on earth.
They saw the rise and fall of kingdoms, as well as people’s thoughts and feelings.
Though they lived outside time, they knew all about humans living in veils of time.
On earth, it was about 3400 years before today, 1400 years before Jesus arrived.
In Egypt, it was the 18th Dynasty and Amenhotep III was the 9th Pharaoh.
He built temples at Karnak, Luxor and Thebes, and tried to be a good man.
Actually, Amenhotep III was also an indigo-spark, one of TAU’s brothers.
Before coming to earth, they had often danced together on the face of the Sun.
Amenhotep’s human wife, Queen Tiy, was also an indigo-spark, a sister to TAU.
But Tiy’s human father was a military man, a bad influence on his daughter.
Though she couldn’t see it, her spark had already become muddy.
Likewise, the bad influence touched Amenhotep III too.
TAU was sad to see this, but he knew it usually happened to souls on earth,
Veiled by the 3D mind, confused and misguided humans were often that way.
Seen from the Sun, most humans looked like little muddy sparks of light －
Like little foggy light-patches with dark brown blotches, kind of odd and ugly.
Yet, if you looked hard, you could always see bright light at the center of the fog.
Although his long reign was mainly peaceful, Amenhotep III was a tired man.
More from boredom than anything else, he had over 250 statues of himself built.
Although Egypt had become a great and powerful country under his rule,
Amenhotep III had forgotten why he’d come to earth, becoming intoxicated by power.
Watching him while sun-dancing, TAU saw the king’s spark grow darker and darker.
Dancing with his family, TAU heard the immense voice of Sun speaking to all:
“If you seek to restore the light,
go join your brother on earth.
Remember me, as I Am.
Always, One.”
And then, without thought, TAU knew what he was to do.
He was to enter Queen Tiy’s womb -- becoming Amenhotep’s second son.
He was to remember Sun’s words, to help restore light on earth, from the land of Egypt.
TAU was pleased with this plan, and his brother (and father-to-be) Amenhotep was also pleased.
TAU’s family of light was pleased, as was the great Sun and the myriad of Cosmic Lights too.
It was a good plan, but there would be troubles.
Since they were outside time, they all saw the future…
They knew TAU would forget a lot, muddy his spark, and grow confused as a human soul.
Therefore the plan was extended, and TAU would stay on earth till the proper end of 3rd density.
Coming in as Akhenaten, he planned many lifetimes afterwards, to restore his own spiritual balance.
And thus it was that the small spark’s wandering began.
From dancing happily on the face of the Sun, to the perfumed royal chambers of Thebes.
From a nameless, joyous light-spark to TAU, entering earth’s density as young Akhenaten.
Of course, after that lifetime he had many names, in many human languages…
If you would like to hear the story of his lives on earth, please keep listening.
TAU told me this himself, while still dancing in joy on the great Sun’s golden disc.
