The Order: First Contact
The Order first made contact with me in my dreams. They always appeared in humble white robes but they shown with a radiant vibrancy that made them stand apart from all other dream objects as if they had torn a hole my dreamscape and let in the sunlight.
I was nearly done with my year of probabtion with the A.’.A.’. when Frater Dominus appeared to me as a middle aged man with a grey beard and glasses.
We sat in a park by a large fountain- a crowd of tourists milled around the park. Frater D chewed on a croissant while we watched the passer by.
“You have grown a lot in this last year. if you haven’t noticed”
“Thanks…” I said- still unsure if I was in a dream at all. The vivid sounds and park seemed so real but I had no memory of how I got there. “Who are you again…?”
“Frater Dominus. I am your supervisor in the Inner Order. You are being tested for admission to your next initiation.”
” What’s the test?”
” An easy one for now. You need to begin writing. Part of your work in the future will involve communicating an important message. And so, now is the time to begin honing that skill and building avenues through which you will be able to create a larger narrative work.”
“What do I need to write about?” A flock of geese honk as they fly overhead. The man in the white robe laughed.
” Just have fun. You are already on the path. Continue with your work in the outer order as that will inform your work for the inner order. We will have more tasks for you soon.”
And with that he was gone. Leaving me fully lucid in the park with the fountain.
I would later write this off as a vivid dream experience but my continued interactions with the order would prove to be so much more…
