a-fate drawing him down past the back pages of a last time. But the new inner vision was changing, the colors dancing from the body of red into up- ward curves of laser like white beams developing as a space haloed message before a streaming en- hancement of pinkness. And the opaqueness of the ball, like the former dot of darkness in struggle below the sun, was changing. But unfamiliar to the dot, the ball was beginning to exude a purpleorange hue; like a million emerging rainbowed atoms arched together in strive for brilliant life. It was the same earth, but travelling out of illusion. From a huge stillness in the radiant distance, at the opposite end of his approach, a thin violet light half haloed the now worldly whirling ball. Reflected rays broke at the boundary of atmosphere, and he went with winds flow forming pocket patterns of reasonable color. Between the clouds warm vapor drowned him into an air of unconsciousness, and he found him- self awake in a dead volcanic cavern of the Maui mountains, remembering only, a great black rock, and his gone brown paper bag.

A changing ball of red, white, pink, and purpleorange light becomes a descent through atmosphere into unconsciousness and a Maui volcanic cavern.

The page carries cosmic vision into physical landing. The same earth travels out of illusion as a thin violet light halos the worldly ball; atmosphere, vapor, and cavern replace pure color, while the gone brown paper bag gives Animal a blunt absence to wake beside.

Darkness gives way to violet, purpleorange, and rainbow hues as the ball transforms from illusion into a living, whirling earth. Animal passes through warm vapor and unconsciousness before waking in a Maui volcanic cavern, remembering only a great black rock and his gone brown paper bag.
