The Third Key (GUARDING THE LIGHT) (3 page)

For him
,
it
didn’t take long
to turn
Jason
’
s
martial art
s
expertise
and turn it
into
an
online self-defense
video
course
that
sold
like hot cakes
.
Self-defense proved
to be
a
profitable nic
he and
income skyrocketed.
Profits
piled up
but
n
e
ither of them cared about
the
money! What they lived for and
care
d
about was
achieving
the
goals
they had
set
.
Jason
could not imagine how
strongly and how
soon
the
chance
s of achieving those goals would
be
shaken to the core. There was no indication of the danger that would put everything he cared for on the edge of existence.

III.

Jason
was preparing for
a
morning
training session. He looked at his
watch. It was
showing
9:07
am.

“
I have e
nough time”,
he
peacefully
concluded and
walked
toward
the library.
He
reached
the
heavy oak doors
but before he could open
them
,
he was thrown to
the
ground
by
an
unknown force
.
H
e looked up,
fully
blinded
for a moment by a
massive eruption
of white
-
gold
light
, five feet away from his nose
.
The whole room
started to vibrate
,
and
a
familiar sound
filled the place.

“
Aaaaammmmmmmmmm
!!!”

It was a sound he easily recognized.
H
e knew exactly what
would
happen
next
but
he
didn’t
know
why
!

“
It’s not going to
work,
my body will crash
! Did
the
great souls from the ‘Council of Light’
for
ge
t
that I
don’t wear armor anymore
?!
” Q
uestion after question
streamed
through
his mind
while he
placed
his body in
the
diamond position, getting ready for
the
inter-
dimensional
jump.

“
Ssssss
ssshhh
shh
” – the
fizzing sound of
the
Vimāna
*
was actually pleasant
to hear
but
this time
Jason
felt vulnerable
and uneasy
.

“I really hope they have this
all plan
n
ed
well
…otherwise that’s it for
me
in
this lifetime.
” Jason’s reasoning
was simple. H
e knew that
the
material body
couldn’t
bear
conditions
that
dominate the
higher
spheres of
the
universe. T
he
material elements
of his body
would simply disintegrate
when
in direct contact with higher energy.

T
he
white-gold
light of the
Vimāna
was all around him.
A f
eeling of pressure all over his muscular body
reinforced
his fear
, which he tried to control
.
The v
ibrations and fizzing sound
lasted for only
a few moments, but it seemed like
many more
.
Once it stopped,
he knew
the trip had
ended
.
Slowly opening his eyes, he
looked
around. There was a layer of
blue
light – some sort of energy was all around him, and
he was actually in the
middle
of that sphere,
floating.

“
OK
, this is new”,
he sa
id loudly, exhaling
and releasing
all
the stress and fear
from his lungs.

The n
ext q
uestion
flashed through
hi
s mind:

“I
seem to be
all right
but
what is going on
, why I am here
!
?” H
is
inner
dialog
ue
went
wild.

IV.

Through
the protective layer
of
blue
energy he looked around and
-
all of a sudden
-
recognized
a
familiar face
.
D
espite
the surprise
,
he felt warmth and
happiness
surround
his heart
.
Spontaneously f
olding his palms in front of
his
chest
,
he
offered
his
respect
s
to
a 16-foot
being
in front of him
, who had been looking straight into Jason’s eyes
from very
moment he
arrived. It was a
comforting and kind
look, at odds with the sculptured body that would have made
any human faint on
the spot
.
In eyes of this mighty warrior -
one of the
ruler
s on
the higher planetary systems -
Jason
could
sense
urgency and
mixed emotion
s
.
He
had never
before
seen
Kartikey
show that sort of
vulnerability
.
T
hat
in itself
was
reason to be worried. Jason knew there was something big behind all of this, but there were no clues so far.

“I welcome you
,
Jason
”. Matching his look, the
voice of
Kartikey
carried
a
clean
and warm
vibration.

“
It is
good
to see you again
.
Unfortunately, we don’t have much time
,
therefore
please listen carefully
and be prepared …
” He paused and then
continued
,
“...
the
reason that m
ade us call for you
is nothing you could ever hope for.”

“
Scary
”
,
thought
Jason
,
but
before he could
start worrying about what he couldn’t hope for
,
the
powerful voice of
Kartikey
rei
nforced the significance of his
thought.

“
T
hat is correct
–
all
of us
have reason to feel
fear
.
Here is the message
for you.
Quabil
is
back. He is NOT dead but
active again.
The
C
ouncil
of Light has
concluded that
there is
no other choice but
to
request you
r
return
.
You
must
decide very soon…
”

Kartikey
c
ontinued explaining but
alarm bells in
Jason’s
mind
went wild
:

“
Im
possible
!
Quabil
is dead, I
have
killed
him!”
H
is memories
rebelled against everything he
was hearing.
While the
chaos of conflicting emotions
streamed through
his mind he was teleported
a
few billion
yojanas
*
back to
earth,
in
to
his living room.

V.

Impossible. Impossible! The word rolled through Jason’s mind on an unending loop.

Jason
remained sitting on the
floor,
on his knees …
he was shattered.
He didn’t know what to do
. The only time he
remembered feeling
so helpless and desperate
was
while watching his mother dying.
As a
n eight-year boy, he
couldn’t
stop cancer from taking her life - there was nothing
much
he could do
– and now he felt the same as a man, years later
.
Quabil
was active again as a Medium of the evil forces, and it seemed th
at he had come back stronger tha
n ever.

Backed up by the combined forces of advanced technology and
demonic
power,
he was
not
just
alive but already a few moves ahead.
Jason realized that if the Council of Light had come to him as a desperate last measure, they must have explored all other options.
Quabil’s
mission hadn’t changed, no doubt, from the last time that he and Jason had faced each other, but how would Jason destroy him again? Letting
Quabil
just take over wasn’t an option.

I
f he succeeded, the people of planet Earth would experience a living
Hell.
Quabil
had
been given ways
to achieve those goals and
all evil forces of the universe
would swarm
to help him...as they would
aid
anyone who tried to destroy Earth. Demons from the lower planets had pursued this goal from time
immemorial, because this
p
lanet
has always held a special position among
the
many populated
planets of this
creation
.
For ordinary souls, it
offers
the easiest way to spiritually advance an
d grow. This disturbs all
demon kind
- death and not growth is their goal - so they try
t
o control humans
and keep them in dark. However, sometimes
the desire to posses
s
human soul energy becomes so dominant that
directly
invading planet Earth becomes their no.1 priority.
When the veil lifts,
the dimmest of humans
could see the danger of their position
. After all, food made of
human flesh and
blood
 
is
a demon's favorite delicacy…
