Purple flames.
A sea of purple flames and I was inside of it. But for some reason or the other, I didn't feel bad nor hurt, I didn't feel the scorching pain of flames burning my flesh. No, I felt great, welcomed, and alive. It was great, it was cloud nine, or flame nine would be more correct.
The flames grew more and more, burning everything in their road towards the heaves, and I felt great. I started to swing in the purple flaming sea, swimming, and swimming. The tide started carrying me and soon I didn't need to move, as the sea moved for me. I felt even better than before like I was in a place I belonged, I felt great for it.
Then I decided to look at the horizon, and two red orbs greeted me. A [Sharingan] it seems, the red eyes with three tomoe started spinning faster and faster, its rotation hypnotic and ethereal in a way.
Then I decided to take a deep breath, suddenly everything was bombarded with warming and positive yellow sun rays, it flooded towards everything bathing them on its positive energy.
The purple flaming sea calmed and stayed still, its tide barely even worth mentioning now, it probably couldn't even carry paper. A calm flaming sea. Sounds almost like some kind of irony, but it really did happen, the yellow light of the sun calmed a sea of purple flames.
Next was the red orbs that were spinning without stopping, the light touched and flooded then making the spinning become slower and slower, the more the yellow light containing the positive energy of the sun touched the red orbs the more the orbs calmed down. Until they stayed still, not spinning anymore.
Peaceful and calmness dominated everything, both the purple flaming sea and the giant red orbs now stood there in peace and calm. And when the peace became even more apparent, even greater. I started to feel a cycle.
That was of course no normal cycle, maybe if I wasn't that distracted before I would've noticed it sooner. But I guess a sea of purple flames, gigantic [Sharingan] eyes, and a magical yellow light probably distracted me a lot.
But now that everything was calmer I could feel it, a cycle that I apparently didn't know before, it continued revolving and revolving, repeating itself. But that is no surprise, it's a cycle after all.
My awareness grew, my before muddled a simple thought became a little bit more clear, if it was because of the calmness or because of the cycle. I don't know. All I know that right now my ability to discern and understand things in this range everything is becoming better, or simply returning to normal? But was this really my normal, or simply something I am led to believe it is?
It doesn't matter, because I was finally able to feel the cycling better, I was finally able to grasp from where it came from, what it is. And I was relatively surprised by seeing the familiar cycling pattern, it was the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique].
This opens a bunch of possibilities to this current situation, is this some kind of trance? Some mystical aspect of the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique] that I don't know? Maybe there is more to the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique] that meets the eye.
But I know this is something familiar is happening to me, I simply read too much xianxia to not know what is happening right now. Enlightenment. I don't know the specifics of it... but by what I am able to recognize I am having sudden enlightenment.
The easier way I am able to circle the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique], how much Ki I am able to gather and distribute. It all boils down to sudden enlightenment... And all those events of before, the giant [Sharingan], the yellow light, and the purple flames sea are probably some representation of my powers in this trip that is sudden enlightenment.
I first thought this was my mindscape, but I didn't find any of my memories here... Wait I didn't look down on the sea of flames right? Maybe they are under the sea? And I was proven right when I looked at the abyss of the sea of purple flames I was able to see bubbles with different images.
The bubbles acted like fish, moving in the depths of the purple flames sea. It was a mesmerizing and beautiful sigh, It's literally the most beautiful thing I've seen in my whole life. And my memories inside of it just made it better, My first time playing Skyrim, when I finished The Witcher 3, Me eating my favorite food, That bad candy I ate in high school, Breaking my arm for the first time. It was all there in some way or the other.
But some bubbles were different, more solid, and physical. They must be the things I saw with my [Sharingan], the things I can't forget no matter what. Now looking at it... The two giant red orbs with three tomoe, my [Sharingan] is looking down at the purple flame sea... Maybe that is the way it can engrave all the memories directly in the sea... Interesting tough process. Definitely gonna research that someday.
But I guess I should utilize this time to do something useful. I know trying to organize these memories is a futile effort I have close to forty years of memories to organize, it impossible to do it in the time frame of this sudden enlightenment. Maybe in the future, I would find a way of doing it without needing sudden enlightenment, but entering my mindscape at will, will take some more time to be feasible.
So instead of partaking in the futile effort of organizing my memories right now, I decided to focus on my sudden enlightenment more. Feel it, grasp it. And focus principally on the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique] and how I am cycling it.
Using the sudden enlightenment I observed and felt how the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique], gaining more familiarity with it, slowly I was understanding more and more of the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique]. It sure feels incredible to have such palpable progress like this.
It was an incredible and indescribable feeling. Something I am very thankful for. I don't know much why I entered the state of sudden enlightenment but I think it had something to do with my resolve, my spirit. Today I had reached conclusion and steeled and solidified my resolve, it surely improved my strength of spirit and I may have triggered such a state of sudden enlightenment.
And I continued like that observing and feeling the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique] for the whole time...
