This novel or tale, consist of 9 parts and approximately 385 pages;tells about the adventures of a poet called Ark, goes to mystic world. He climbs over seven mountains and crosses seven valleys there to seek his luck.
First Part: SACRED CALL
“Once upon a time,in the universe without an ending or beginning, there was a world far from the others,known as ‘blue planet’, which lately has lost its blue color. In this world,whose population was growing faster and faster,there were millions of people, most of whom were poor. Capitalists and communists were dominating these poor people. The mystic tale I’m going to tell about, begins with the words of “This story may be actually did or did not occurred during the time of Silisium and it goes on like this:
“In the years of 196O’s,after approximately 3O years of period, because of the explosion ‘Economic miracle’ like a balloon, the fast growing of the crisis and unpreventable inflations hundreds of factories are closed down unemployment, expensiveness, starvation, impropriaty and uneasiness spread over the world like a gangrene. One day, all nations in the world hear a call:
“I’M THE VOICE OF THE LUCK YOU’RE ALL SEEKING FOR.THOU SHALL FIND ME AFTER CLIMBING OVER SEVEN MOUNTAINS AND CROSSING SEVEN VALLEYS. THE RAINBOW WILL SHOW THY WAY!”
All nations obeyed this sacred call. And to seek for their luck, they set on road with caravans under the leadership of their religious and national leaders they make their way with singing songs and gospels. After travelling for seven years under the sun, snow, rain and storm they stop in a barren land with only few dry bushes. After hearing the sacred voice saying to them “Odyssee finished here! ”They take up temporary quarters in thousands of tents. In tent chapels they hold every day religious ceremonies. They pray the God sing gospels and hymns for Him. And they wait for days and days hopefully for the sacred voice to speak to them to find the luck and happiness that they are all seeking for. When this doesn’t happened ,they will all be thoroughly disappointed. And they revolt against God and return back to their countries.
2nd Part : THE VALLEY OF SEARCH/ THE VALLEY OF .. …. DANGERS
Among the comers, a poet called Ark, stays alone in this barren land, after the dis-appointed nations returned to their countries. While thinking deeply in the darkness what to do and where to go, a nightingale sets on a bush under which he lies down. After singing dolefully for a long time, it begins to speak:
“ I know where the luck is, you’re seeking for. Now, listen to me; I don’t have much time. There will be dawn very soon and I’ll leave you. When the sun rises, you’ll realize that the bush under which you’re lying down, is closing the entrance of a cave. Inside the cave there are seven mountains and seven valleys; the same number as the bush’s branches. After crossing from 7 valley and climbing over 7 mountains, you’re going to find the luck you’re looking for. May God help you, may your way be free1”
After saying this, he flies up and disappears. Ark follows the advice of nightingale and enters the cave. Soon after some spirits meet him in full of darkness.
“Don’t be afraid, we’re the dead spirits who came to meet you. May God be with
you, may your heart be full of love! Welcome to the world of abstract madness, where the logic and wisdom lack. What you’re going to see and hear here is neither a dream nor a hallu-cination. But all are another kind of reality. All the things happening here, which wisdom is in-capable, can only be realized by intuition” says a very old spirit to Ark.
“ Where am I ? “ Ark asks him.
“ You’re at the threshold of a passage, leading you to the first valley. The name of the valley is ‘ The Valley of Search “, answers him the old spirit.
“ This valley is also called as ‘ The Valley of Dangers” says another male spirit to Ark. “ You’ll face to a lot of dangers here. You must be careful and brave...”
A female spirit interrupts him:
“He ,too will be afraid of going to the depths of the cave and will return, like the others who came here!” she says with a shrillen voice.” Look at him, how he is trembling of fear. I can’t stop laughing when I look at him. Is it really he, who will wake up the lion sleeping on the gold trunk in which lay the realities that all humans want to know from the beginning of the world and is it really he who won’t be afraid of the poisonous snake inside the trunk ?!”
“ How is it possible for you to speak in my language?” asks Ark.
“ My son, we do not speak in your language, we speak in universal language”,says
the old spirit. “ In this world you came, not only humans but also animals, plants, mountains,
stones, earth, sky, stars, soil, air, wind and fire, that means everything speaks in this language. They all worship the God and in this language praise him. You are not aware that you’re speaking to us with a universal language which has no voice, no alphabet, no limit and no ending. Now, listen to me; in order to find the luck you’re searching for, you have to cross the seven valleys and climb over seven mountains.”
“ Yes, I know. The nightingale has told me that”, replies Ark.
“ Then, may your way be clear and free! Do not forget; in wherever you go, every-one and everything will speak to you with the universal language. So we have instructed you and done our duty. May God be with you and your heart be full of his love!” says the old spirit.
While he is going with others, Ark calls after him:
“ Wait a minute! What’s that noise coming from far away?”
“ My son, what you hear is the voice of eternal life, a holy music.” Tells him the old spirit “ Go ahead, you’ll see a mountain passage before you. Pass it and go towards the holy voice. It’s there, what you’re looking for, it’s there, the eternal life!”
After the spirits have gone, there is a deep silence everywhere. The silence of death. Ark, paying attention to where to step in deep darkness, goes ahead. He passes from the mountain passage and enters the Valley of Dangers.
This part tells about the unbelievably dangerous adventures of Ark in this valley.
3rd Part: THE VALLEY OF HOPE AND LİGHT
Entering this valley, Ark, comes to a lovely lake where there is a white ship waiting at its quay. At the restaurant, he eats the food served by beautiful hostesses, with the old people who are also foreigners of the valley – as he is, and he speaks to the Mysterious Director. After he’s convinced that the luck he’s looking for is in the “Island of Hope”, he goes there with other visitors by ship. There, they are met by the organisators and hostesses resem-bling very much to each-other. They live in the most beautiful houses. They are taken to The-atres, Operas and Concerts. They eat at the most luxurious Restaurants and they have the most exciting hours at the “Sex Orgies”. After that “Dolce Vita” which lasts for seven days, the big day comes for the visitors to join the island’s society. They carry them away to the “Holy Temple” . And there after the sanctification in the name of “Gold Father, Capital Son and Technology the Divine Spirit. They put first the old visitors into some special machines. After a while, the visitors resemble to the island’s people – who, too, resemble to each-other very much. They differentiate from each-other only by the identification numbers which hang over their neck. They all will be very young and beautiful super race with blond hair and blue eyes who knows everything.
When it is Ark’s turn ,he gives up joining the island’s community. He escapes from there and leaves the island by a boat. Where he comes, is the Valley of Hope and Light. Here, lives the poor eastern people.
“ Only the Father of Hope can help you to find the luck you’re looking for”, says a man to him.
Ark finds the old man sleeping in a garden. He wakes him up and excuses himself because he has woken him up.
“ Do not excuse! I like those, who wakes me up. I am the Father of Hope with thousand faces and thousand names. I’m very ,very old my son. Now, I give you an advise. If I fall asleep, wake me up. I can only give hope and power of life while I’m awake. Wherever there’s life, I’m there. Do not forget that. Now come with me, I’ll show you something you must see” , says the Father of Hope.
They set out and make way for a long time. Finally, they reach to a place. There, beautiful Eve, the wife of Adam baking bread in a goat’s hair tent. The father of Hope hides himself in under a tree near the tent.
“Come near me and have a good lesson what you’re going to see and hear now!”, he tells Ark.
Soon after, the Satan comes with a dreadful appearence,holding the hand of his ugly son.
“Hello, beautiful Eve who persuaded Adam! I’ll be very pleased if you look after
my little son. He can help you with the housework. I can’t look after him.”
He leaves his son there and goes away happily. Then, after a while, Adam comes. He get very angry when he sees the Satan’s son; he kills him and puts him into pieces. After throwing the sons’s each piece towards each direction of the plateau, he returns to his work.
Than, the Satan comes: “Hannas, where are you?!” he calls his son.
“ I’m here!” answers his dead son’s peaces from all directions and comes to his father.
The Satan puts his pieces together and Hannas becomes alive. The Satan holds his hand and brings him to Eve again. And he beseech her to look after his son once again. But Adam kills the Satan’s son for the second time. On the third time when he comes back and finds him again alive in the tent. He loses his head and kills him once again. He cooks him in a pot and eats him together with Eve and his two sons. After he goes with his sons to work, the Satan comes again and calls his son. When Hannas replies him from the belly of Eve, he gets very happy.
“ That was my aim. To settle down in Eve’s, Adam’s, and his two son’s belly. Oh! my aim is finally realized. And from now on, every human being born from them will do what I want them to do.. I’ll dominate them from their insides.”, says deceitful Satan and goes away happily.
After showing that scene to Ark, the Father of Hope takes him to the desert, whe-re there’s a man whose all body-except his head is covered with hot sand.
“Hallo!” he says and greets the man in the desert.
“Hello!” replies the man in the sand.
“How are you? Are you O.K?”
“How am?! What are you saying? Don’t you see I’m covered with that God damm hot sand and I’m suffering a lot. I’ve been waiting for God’s help for so many years. I’m fed up with the waiting so long. God doesn’t hear my begging and my prays. When will he save me from that damm hot sand? I’m really tired out!...”
While he’s complaining about his situation, a storm occurs suddenly and sweeps the sand over his naked body. Then, soon after the snow starts falling on the naked man. The man, trembling of the cold, begs God to be in the hot sand again.
The Father of Hope and Ark leave him and go to a lovely, but desolated town. At the centre of the town, there is a big cauldron boiling by a fire under it. They hear a hoarse voice from the cauldron and come nearer. There, they see a man in the boiling water, who is sinking and then reaching the top. Each time he says: “Thanks God! Even for this!”
“Because he thanks God, now look what’s going to happen!” explains the Father of Hope to Ark.
As soon as he finishes his words, the fire goes out suddenly and the water stops boiling. The man doesn’t sink any more.
“My head is out of the water! I’m not sinking! “ he cries out happily.
The Vater of Hope tells Ark, who is very surprised of what he’s seen:
“May that also be a lesson for you! If you want to find what you’re looking for, you must believe in God and be patient. Never lose your expectation. Now, I’ll take you to a place. It’s the place of learning. Whom you shall meet there, are the students of Hope, and what you shall hear are the lessons of Hope. Listen to them carefully, because these lessons are very short and didactic. Some people can understand them easily, some can’t.”
They leave there and reach to a cave at the top of a mountain. In the dusk cave, the Vater of Hope sits cross-legged in the middle of a carpet laid on the floor. Soon after, they hear a godly hymn coming from the depths of the cave. Soon after, come seven boys aged around ten, with candles in their hands. They’re all wearing large blue dresses with hood. They greet the Vater of Hope with respect, kiss his hands and then sit around him forming a circle.
“You, too, sit down with them!”, says the Vater of Hope to Ark.
Ark does what he has said and sits among the boys. In the middle of them, the Vater of Hope starts his lesson:
“ Human ?!” he says, asking his students.
“ Humans are perishable, but God is everlasting!” answers the students.
“ Word ?!” asks again the Vater of Hope.
“ Word is unique! God is unique!”
“ Wrath ?!”
“ Who rises with wrath, will sit down with loss!”
“ Heart ?!”
“ The greatest master!”
“ .................................”
When the Vater of Hope asks about “The light”, they all answer “ Hope!”
They take their candle and stand up.
“The light is our guide, the light is our hope,
With this hope, we’ll go to the endless sea.
We’ll look for the dearest God!”
Singing this hymn, they return to where they’ve come from.
“Follow them. They will descend you from the mountain and bring you to whom ex-pecting you. May God be with you, may your heart be full of his love!” says the Vater of Hope to Ark.
Ark follows the bo
4th Part : THE VALLEY OF PASSİON AND
DISBELEIVERS
Leading Ark, children of Hope comes to a massive golden gate on which it’s written
“HUMILIATION GATE” . There, the boys leave him. While Ark is watching the supreme gate with most wonderful ornaments that he has never seen in his life, the gate opens.
“ Enter, they’re waiting for you!” orders someone inside.
As Ark enters inside, there, appears a raven-black gigantic man having a bare up-waist:
“ How dare you, entering here without paying the prize, you, dirty dog ?!” he says to Ark.
He suddenly seizes his arm and throws him in the middle of the road and piss on him. Just after that, some dogs covered with flies and pussy wounds, attack and bite him. And the big flies on its body, puff up his face. Then, a dozen harridan,disgusting, ugly women with thick sticks at their hands hit Ark, who has been praying God for help.
They say: “Do not wait for help from the God, for whose sake you did nothing. The biggest malice comes from the man himself!”
“ You have humiliated him. Now, that’s enough. Bring him here!” says the gigantic man to harridan women.”
And he tells Ark:
“ In order to know the supreme of the soul, you must enter that humiliation gate and learn what humiliation is. That’s why, we’ve behaved you like this. Don’t forget, in order to rise, it’s necessary to learn humiliation. Now, you may enter inside. They’re expecting for you.”
Ark, follows the road whose both sides are adorned with valuable jewellery and comes to a Temple. Worn in white, Rudolf Steiner meets him at the gate of the Temple. They enter into the Temple.. Inside, there’s a massive golden bed in the middle of a large marble platform. Someone is lying there covered with white sheet. At the bedside, there’s a huge seven-headed crystal figure. On it, a sharp scimitar hunging in the air and fresh blood dropping from it. Around the marble platform there are seven savants, sitting cross-legged at regular intervals. They’re worn also in white and they all have golden candlesticks with burning candles in their fronts.
Rudolf Steiner says:
“The Savants you’re seeing here, are the most famous among the people who
know the knowledge of world’s secrets and who are enlightened!”.
And he introduces them, starting with the oldest one Hermes Trismegistos, then Heraklitus from Ephesus, Platon, Plutarchos from Chaironeis, Pindar, Pythagoras from Sa-mos, and Dr.Universalis Alberto Magnus.
“ The person lying on this bed, needs you. You’re called here to help and save him.”
Hermes Trismegistos informs Ark. Ark, goes near the bed, takes off the sheet. To his great surprise, the person in the bed is faceless.
The man wakes up and asks:
“Why did you wake me up? What do you want from me?”
“ I want to help you”., replies Ark.
“ I don’t need your help. My seven-headed friend fulfils all my wishes. Now, I’m going to show you some of the big pleasures he offers to me and you’ll lose your head!” tells the faceless man.
After saying this, he calls the seven-headed Crystal Figure:
“ My sincere friend, I’m starving. Now set before me a rich table and send me a coquette to amuse myself.”
As soon as he finishes his words, a table full of delicious food and all kinds of al-cohol, adorned with golden candlesticks and a very beautiful, long haired full breasted woman appear. The faceless man eats the food with great appetite, drinks all the alcohol and after-wards embraces the golden-haired beautiful woman. While she kisses him with lust, Ark reali-zes that her back is full of scorpions, snakes and centipedes. When these creeping bite the fa-celess man, he shouts painfully. A falcon, crying brutally comes, opens the faceless man’s heart with its sharp beak and starts to pick the fluttering sparrow inside it. Not bearing to see this any longer, Ark kills the falcon, scorpions, snakes and centipedes with the candlestick. When the sparrow, saved from the falcon, enters the heart of the faceless man, who is moa-ning again, the seven-headed Crystal Figure roars:
“ If you think that they’re dead what you have killed, you’re mistaken! They have seven souls; they do not die at once. Come on my little things, go on with the duty you must complete!” it says.
While snakes, scorpions and centipedes, having come to life again, bite the fa-celess man, falcon opens his heart with its beak and starts to pick the fluttering sparrow once again. seeing the bewilderment on Ark’s face, the Crystal Figure starts laughing. Getting mo-re and more angry,
Ark, takes the scimitar hanging in the air, from which fresh blood drops, and he cuts the falcon, scorpions, snakes and centipedes into pieces. Seeing that, the roaring Cry-stal Figure changes its shape and becomes a seven- headed dragon. He attacks Ark scatte-ring fire from his mouth. Ark, cuts the heads of dragon with the scimitar in his hand. But for each head a new one appears; finally Ark gives up and goes backward.
He hears a voice saying; “ You can’t kill the dragon. He is bestial indulgence which is addicted to mankind ; from beginning. Don’t kill it, but kill the faceless man who got used to the pleasures it provides him. Then you may become free from the dragon.!”
Ark obeys what the voice says and cuts the faceless man’s body into two, with the bloody scimitar. After that, the seven-headed dragon goes to a direction, screaming terribly. After it has gone, the golden bed, on which the faceless man was lying, becomes a grave. When Ark sees to his surprise his own face on the dead man laying in the grave, saying: “ Oh! My God! I’ve killed myself!” And he starts weeping.
“ Don’t cry! You didn’t die. What you’ve killed, was your bestial indulgence which
was preventing you to become mature”, says the same voice to him.
“ Who are you?” asks Ark.
“ I’m someone who helps the people when they’re in difficulties!”, says the divine voice and adds:” Now, go to the direction where the seven- headed dragon has gone. There, you’ll see the malice he does to mankind. Don’t worry, I’ll always be with you !”
Ark, puts the scimitar aside and follows the seven- headed dragon. Then, he ar-rives a city. At the centre of the city, he sees thousands of donkey faced men. They’re all listening to a donkey- faced spokesman saying: “ There isn’t a race more superior than ours. Because God loves us, he created us white as himself and made us the most superior of all races. To save this superiority, we must always crush the heads of inferior races.” Listeners begin to shout: “ Long live superior white race! God damn inferior race !”
In another part of the city, hundreds of donkey- faced men are waiting in a long queue. A toothless fat old woman with white hair having a body like disgusting flabby mass bending down her huge arse was sticking out in front of them. When it’s his turn, a donkey-faced’s man makes love with her by lustful braying. The ugly woman throws the money they give her, from a hole of the curtain near her. At the other side of the curtain, a hyena is col-lecting the moneys and then throwing them in fire. The seven- headed dragon is feeding him-self, from the flames of the burning money. The divine voice tells Ark to leave the city. Out of the city, at a junction; he shows Ark an old man sitting on the ground with opened palms. The tissue of his body is totally falled into pieces and on his body, snakes, lizards and all kinds of insects have made a nest. He tells Ark, the life story of this old man who used to say: “May everybody die, except I”. And adds: “This old man lives without food , but feeds himself only with the ‘pity’ for 36OO years.”
They leave there and come to a cemetary. There, they see a young and beautiful wife with her relatives and friends crying for her newly buried husband. While they are crying, a mad man in scuttered appearance with long hair and beard comes. He stands at the head of the grave and says:
“You! The ruthless son of harlot ! You were very rich, but never had compassion and love for poors. When you were alive, all you did was malice and to satisfy your bestial in-dulgence. Now, in your grave the warms are eating your mass of dung carcase !”
Then, he leaves the graveyard. The divine voice tells Ark to follow him. Ark follows the mad man and enters “The Valley of Passion and disbelievers”. Passing from a thick cloud layer he comes to a big city where all people of ancient world and new age live together. They speak different languages and believe in different religions. At the centre of the city, young girls are selling their bodies for one “faith”. (a bond used as money) And budists are singing their mantras altogether. While an Imam is selling his 1O year’s prayers for a “faith”, little away from him, a Christian is swearing in the name of God Father, Son Jesus and Divine Spirit that he can have all sins if someone gives him one “faith” for it.
Ark meets there the Gods of ancient world as Shiva, Ea, Zeus, Nin-Gal, El, Baal, Dagon, Marduk, Ischtar, Osiris, Astarde, and Yahwe who were living with the people together. Upon the order coming from the sky, the Gods introduce themselves to the people at the city centre. When the public tease them, they become furiously angry. They let fire, thunderbolts, poisonous snakes and scorpions fall on sceptic people. The city starts burning and while the people are dying by screaming painfully, the sky divides into two. And a sea flows down. All valley gets under water. Ark gets in panic when huge waves come towards him.
“Don’t be afraid ! Nothing will happen to you. You’ll be saved and be able to conti-nue your way to find your luck!” says Ea, the Goddess of dark, deep waters who created the deluge from the sky.
As soon as she has said this, a rowing boat appears in front of Ark.
“Get on this boat and leave here quickly. Don’t look behind you ! May God be with you, may your heart be full of His love !” tells him the divine voice.
Ark gets on the boat. As the current takes him away all Temples and cities situated on seven mountains, disappears under water, with everything in them.
5th Part : THE VALLEY OF LOVE AND HARMONY
The current of water leads Ark’s boat to a jungle. While Ark is walking in the jungle, he sees a wolf which is attacking a lamb:
“ For the sake of God have mercy on me. Please save me from this cruel wolf!” says the Lamb to Ark.
“ Don’t be mistaken by looking at his appereance” says him the Wolf “I am the lamb,
It’s not me who is attacking, it’s he. So please help me, not him !”
Taking the advise of Boa, which he met before, Ark identifies who the real lamb is and helps him. The real lamb shows him the way leading to the Valley of Love. Ark follows that route. After walking all night long, he falls asleep under a tree at the daybreak. He wakes up with the conversation of three ants, called “Yesterday”, “ Today”, and “ Tomorrow”. He becomes friend with them. The three ants want to help him to find his luck. Ark puts “Yester-
day” on his left shoulder, “ Today” on his head, and “ Tomorrow” on his right shoulder, and sets on road. They come to Garden of Love. Dressed in white, the old gardener shows the garden to Ark.
“ Here, instead of the flowers of BENEVOLENCE, GENEROSITY, UNDERSTAN-DING, PATIENCE, and TOLERANCE ; various wild grass of GRUDGE, CRUELTY, PASSION, ENMITY, FAME and PROSTITUTION are growing. In order to prove the beauty of flovers of love, this wild grass should also grow. Because the universe is based on contrasts. To under-
stand what beauty is, ugliness is necessary, to understand what justice is, we must know in-justice. To understand what friendship really is we must also the enmity...”
Ark, with the ants, leaves there and comes to a hill. When he sees wonderful Temples, palaces and several lively splendid cities, he can’t believe his eyes.
“The big city that you see here is composed of several cities known by all worlds. It’s the city of Gods and Kings, with past, present and future. Therefore this city has many names!” explains to him “Yesterday” ant.
“Another name of this city is Metropol of Universal Love” says “Today” ant.
“ And, another name of it is “Dead City” adds “Tomorrow” ant.
They go altogether to Metropol Where the most famous Kings lived in the past. And there, they see how different societies who lived in different ages are living together. And
they listen to the explanations of the priests, belonging to different religions about the creation of the universe and human race. When they hear the voice of trumpets, everybody runs away and Ark follows them – with the ants. He comes to a big centre. When he recognizes that all the nations of past and present are waiting there in a deep silence, he gets curious about it. After some time, the old man which is called by everyone Grandfather the Baker comes on a vehicle full of bread carried by two huge dogs. Grandfather the Baker has white beard and hundreds of wrinkles on his face; wearing a long, simple robe. He sets his stall in the middle of the centre. When one of the dogs takes his place at the left of the stall and the other at the right, he winks the waiting public, to come nearer. Starting with Gilgamesh, Ur-Namru, Sargon, King Menesh from country of Mari, all Egyptian Pharaohs, Nabukadnezar, Kyros, Da-rius, Perikles, Agamemnon and all legendary Rulers and their famous Soldiers go to the Grandvater Baker. They give him their most valuable jewellery; and in turn some of them buy the bread of power, some the bread of fame, and some the bread of revence. The Grandfat-her Baker throws the valuable jewellery they give him to the dogs. And the dogs defecate on them. After them, now it’s turn of today’s Kings, Queens, Politicians, Generals, Religious and Scientific men. Some of them give their crown, some their throne, some their jewelleries, some their titles, books, guns and their recent inventions in Technology to Grandfather Baker. And some of them asks for the bread of revence, beauty, intrique, cruelty or for the bread of jealousy. Once again, Granfather Baker throws what they have given him to the dogs. And after giving the bread to everyone, he goes away. Ark, leaves there with the ants and comes to a burned city where not a unique tree or living creature lives.
“ Here is the dead city, tomorrow’s world!” explains “Tomorrow” ant.
Ark, being in a shock of what he’s seen, leaves there. After passing through a cloud layer, a massive gold Temple appears. “TEMPLE OF ETERNITY SCIENCE” it’s written on it’s gate. He enters the Temple and he sees astrologers and the scientists of past and today are sitting on the rows, like students. They’re looking at some unknown writings, only three lines of which are seen, from a huge open book, hanging over massive gold altar. And they all have difficulty in understanding it.
When Grandfather Baker realizes that Ark has entered, he meets him and say: “ I was waiting for you! I’m a servant and baker of supreme God, who created this
eternal universe which has no beginning or ending, and who gave life to seven hundred seventy seven billions planets for seven hundred seventy seven billions time. My duty is to distribute people the bread they want without discriminating among them. This divine book, you see hanging in the air is composed of seven hundred seventy seven billions of gold pages, se-ven hundred seventy seven billions time thinner than hair. In its each page, there are 777.777.777 lines. In whole book, the secret of all universe is written in a language known by God only. In the open page, there is information about the secrets of the world known as “Blue Planet”, as you recognize, only three bright lines of them can be seen. To be able to see and learn the others is forbidden to mortal human. The first one of the bright lines has the information of “Yesterday”, the second one, the information of “Today”. And the last one, the information of “Tomorrow”.
When the ants say, ” We were thinking that you were blind, deaf and mute!”, Grandfather Baker takes them from Ark’s head and shoulders. And says “Your duty is over, now!” and he puts them into the bright lines of “Yesterday”, “Today”, and “ Tomorrow”. He then turns to Ark and tells him:
“ Now we’re going together to real valley of love. We shall distribute the bread of love to the supreme people waiting for me there.”
They go to the Valley of Love without dogs, because they do not need them there.
The people living in that valley without deceitful worth of materialistic concepts of TITLE,
GLORY, EXISTENCE or PROPERTY, come to meet them with a great happiness. For the ho-nour of them, the people of valley prepare a big feast. Ark meets there his mother, who died years ago, and several supreme people who passed their lives with PATIENCE, TOLERANCE,
CONTENTMENT, HARMONY, HOPE, COMPREHENSION and BENEVOLENCE. World known artists and supreme people as Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi, amuse Ark and Grandfather Baker with music, dance and poems.
Finally the time comes to set on road again. Grandfather Baker says to Ark: “You have to continue your way. Now, close your eyes. When you open them, you’ll find yourself in a different valley. May God be with you, may your heart be full of his love!”
6th Part : THE VALLEY OF WITHDROWING
FROM EVERYTHING AND BEING AS ONE
When Ark opens his eyes again, he finds himself in a desert of burning heat. He meets there the most dreadful and dangerous demon Asasel, which is also known in the anci-ent times of Abraham. He is cast a spell on him by Asasel. And in visions he sees the desert as oasis with gren pastures, living many people on it. He falls in love with his daughter Seb-nem, whom he thinks is real. While he’s dreaming about Sebnem at nights he realizes the dan-ger he is in, by the warning of the famous historian Herodotus who was closed in a cell under the earth by Asasel. Ark, sets him free and they escape together. At Styx, they pay a coin to boatman Charon, to pass to the other side and Hades. There, they meet the famous spirits as Achilleus, Klykaimestra-the wife of Agamemnon, Medea-wife of Jason who are being tortured. There they listen to their life-story and how they’re tortured. While they try to get out there in a big haste , because of snakes and scorpions, they lose their way. Hermes, who helps spirits, shows them the exit. After they get out of there, they find themselves in an emptiness without a bottom or top. In this emptiness they travel in to the oldest periods of past by time currents. There, they witness, how the first life has started in the world. And how spirits before Adam be-came the creatures as Gorgon, Typhon in Greek Mythology by thought projection and how the first five senses Homosapien race was created as 5 different colours in 5 countries at the sa-me time and how these super people destroyed themselves by their own technology. From there, they move towards future. On their way, they meet interesting people of before and after the big deluge. And finally, they come to the assembly place, where all dead races are living together. There, Herodotus meets his ancestors and leaves Ark. Ark, stayed alone, meets people praying in the Temples, and Buddha, as new born giving a ceremony, Lao- Tze, Krishna, Mahavira, Zoroaster, David singing a Psalm with a lyre in his hand. In this ancient city, he realizes that people who struggle for the sake of their religion and belief sell their devotions, prays, fasts, alms and also nationalities for a ”good deed” which is used as money. And to be free off their sins they try every trick. In this very lively and noisy antique city, suddenly Gabriel plays his horn and all Temples and buildings collapse down. Sky burns and separates into several parts. While everyone was escaping in a panic, angels come down from the sky. After everyone’s sins and mercies are weighted, a holy tree which reaches up to sky, appears in the middle of the centre. Around the holy tree, green doves with red and yellow circles around their neck, are flying around and saying:
“ Gu,gu , guuu! It’s you, who created the Universe!
It’s you who gave life to all living things! “
In front of the holy tree a Godly human figure, whose only eyes are seen and scat-tering flames, appears. And he speaks to them :
“Thou shalt know and let everyone know! From now on, like in the beginning, you’re going to live as a UNIQUE nation without differentiation from race and color; you’re go-ing to believe only a UNIQUE religion, speak only a UNIQUE language and worship on UN-
COMPARABLE UNIQUE GOD, who created all worlds and gave life to them.”, says in a un-known language.
Everybody understands and repeats what he said. Ark, also repeats what he’s sa-id in the unknown language by closing his eyes in a trance state. And when he opens his eyes again, he finds himself on the back of Pegasus – the flying horse , in a another world.
7 th Part : THE VALLEY OF ASTONISHMENT
AND PERCEPTION
Pegasus pulls Ark down to the centre of a ultra modern city. There, the people meet him, crying “Welcome to the country of Justice, Freedom, Democracy and Laws !” and they ask him questions one after another:
“ What’s your name?”
“ Why are you flying by a horse?”
“ Why aren’t you flying with an automobile, plane or helicopter?”
“ Have you also a culture similar to us?”
“ Do the people of your world speak, as we do?”
“ Tell us, do you understand our language, or are you a primitive race?”
Ark, answers their questions and explains them why he came there.
“ Welcome! You’re going to find your luck here. Because, it’s the country of lucky people”, says someone from the public.
“Here, we’re free to do what we want!”, adds other one.
“That ‘s why we’re so happy!”
“Stay with us here, you’ll be as happy as we are!”
“Tell me, what’s the name of this country?” asks them Ark.
“It has several names” replies someone “It’s called the country of civilization, democ-racy, science, technology, laws, sex and justice.”
“Yes, that country has many names. They also call here “ 3-R” whose symbol we’re
having on our robes!”, tells another one.
“Why 3-R?” asks him Ark.
“Because, our governers are Realists, Rationalists and Radicalists.”
“They also call here 3-H or 3 Homo country!”, adds another one.” I’ll explain you why
they’re called like this: The first, H is for ‘Homo Fabers’ , who are realist, rationalist and radi-calist scientific men, who produce and do the calculation. The second H symbolize the stupid ‘Homo Sapiens’ who couldn’t be realist, rationalist, radicalist and who still believe in existence of invisible God. And the third H is for ‘Homo Viatas’ who spend their valuable time with va-lueless thoughts and dreams.”
“ They also call here, as the country of ‘Yesterday’, ‘Today’ and ‘Tomorrow’ says one of the people to Ark.
While everyone is counting the names of their country proudly, a sympathetic boy, aged around 14, approaches Ark.
“ My name is Ur-Muga. I’m one of the bastards of this country. Come with me and I’ll
show you this beautiful country where happy and free people live!” he says to Ark.
And he shows Ark, the main streets where people are making love in streets, the
banks are robbed, people are killed, and the streets full of the signboards on which it’s written: “Long live Freedom !”, Long live Justice!”, “Long live Democracy!” , “Long live Science!”, “Long live Laws!”, “Long live Free Wishes!”, and “Long live sex !” In this city, where everyone is free to do what he wants, when someone kills Ur-Muga, the police chief comes there and thinks that Ark is mad, because he doesn’t want to do what everyone does. He sends him with philosopher Socrates to the country of mads, where “Homo Viatas” lives. There, Ark meets famous philosophers, writers, artists and musicians. Taking the philosopher’s advice, he wanders again to find the holy Temple, which is written on it “KNOW YOURSELF”. On his way, he meets Orpheus playing the lyre. He brings Ark to the Temple he has looking for and leaves. Ark enters the sacred Temple. He hears some monotonous noise coming from deep. And ho goes towards it. When he comes there a lion sleeping on a golden trunk, wakes up. It roars to him, but it doesn’t attack. As Ark opens the golden trunk, a cobra inside bites him. Ark loses his consciousness by the effect of poison. And soon after a figure in lights resemb-ling to a man, appears in front of him. It tells him not to be afraid and after transforming into va-rious human’s figures, it stands as Ark before him. He will be stupefied as he sees himself alive, in front of him; and it says to Ark: “I’m your soul. All the men I’ve shown you ,were you or me. At your pre-births, you lived as them. You come here, to know yourself and to under-stand what you’ve seen and heard at the valleys, you passed from.”
What he has seen and heard at the valleys he passed from, appears before Ark’s eyes
like a film band. He realizes and understands the secret meanings of everything he’s seen and heard. After that, the effect of poison disappears. As he gains his consciousness, he realizes a very old man with bright eyes, very long and white beard-till his knees, and a face with thou-
sands of wrinkles.
“ Welcome. May God be with you! May your heart be full of his love!”, says the vene-
rable old man to Ark.
“Who are you ?” asks him Ark.
“My name is reality!”, tells him the old man ” My duty is to show reality to the people, who come to this sacred Temple. I’m waiting here for the people who look for me, for thou-sands of year. But, mankind didn’t change at all. They still escape from reality and look for luxury and dissipation. There are very few who came here and found me. I’m really very happy that you’ve found me.”
“Where am I?” asks Ark.
“In yourself. In your own heart!”
The answer of venerable old man astonishes Ark very much.
“That means, the luck I was looking for, was inside of me all the time!” he says to old man.
“Yes!” replies the old man.” But unfortunately, very few people know this reality. They look for it at wrong places, too far-away!”
“Is the luck I was looking for, the happiness I’m now feeling?”
“No, it isn’t. Here, you learned the reality and comprehended it. The biggest luck and
the biggest happiness is behind that door in front, on which it’s written “LAST VALLEY”, it’s in
the final sphere. Only those, who are able to wake up the deeply sleeping lion in themselves and who are able to open the comprehension trunk, where there’s a poisonous snake, can enter. Now, you have to go out of this divine gate. May God be with you! May your heart be full of his love!”
Ark goes out from the gate written “LAST VALLEY” on it.
8th Part : THE VALLEY OF DEATH
Ark finds himself in a complete darkness and a deafening noise. Then suddenly a hurricane from sky the pulls him up. And it puts him in a place in a silent world where there is no living creature or plant. He waits on a straight road. After waiting in this timeless world for a long time, he hears some bells from far away. And soon after, it appears four camel caravans coming side to side. At the other side of the road where Ark stays, a lively city full of music and laughters appears all of sudden. Caravans stop, when they come near him. Ark astonishes very much when he sees that the camels at the first and second rows are loaded with full of dead bodies, the ones at the third row are loaded half full of dead bodies and that the camels at the fourth row, in front of which there’s no donkey, are not carrying anything. The angel of death, sitting on the donkey at the third row and holding a scythe in his hand, gets off the donkey. He goes to the city, where the dancing, singing and laughing people live. Soon after, painful screams come out from this lively city. And then everything is buried into a silence of death. The angel of death carries the bodies of the people who were alive a minute ago and while he’s charging them into the third row’s camels, the donkey before them starts to talk; It explains to Ark that the donkey in front of caravan the first row is his grandfather who belongs to the Primitive Age’s donkey; the donkey in front of the second row is his father who
belongs to the Mezolitic Age’s donkey; and that he himself belongs to the Iron’s Age’s donkey. He adds that the caravan at the fourth row, which has no donkey, belongs to Silisium or Com-puter Age’s donkey.
After the angel of death loads all bodies, Ark joins to the moving caravan. Listening to the information given by Iron Age’s donkey, on the endless road, they travel for a long time. On their way, they stop in several places and load newly dead bodies. Then they stop in eme
rald green grass with flowers, in front of a transparent Temple, whose gate’s and windows’ frames are in massive gold, and whose wall are made of crystal. Two, awfully beautiful teen-age angels are waiting in front of its gate and on it, hundreds of doves are flying around. The-re, he sees that the life water was spurting out among the leaves of “Ailanthus” tree, having its roots up and branches down; is connected in a massive gold pool and that from seven gold fountains of this pool, the life water is dropping into seven bowls under them. Iron Age’s don-key informs Ark about the life water dropping into bowls. They leave there and after travelling for a long time in this timeless world they come to an endless sea of fire burning continuously. In the middle of the sea, there’s an island, half of which is in emerald, and the other half is in gold color, and seven waterfall are flowing down from the sky on the island with divine melo-
dies. Ark realizes that several strange creature in the emerald color part of the island are put-ting the ladles in their hands in to sea of fire and after pouring them into the moulds, they’re loading them the comets lying on the floor. In the gold color part of the island, millions of lights are circulating around a splendid holy sun, composed of unknown colours and singing hymns; and thousand of doves are also flying around with them, praising the God with words of:
“ Gu,gu,guuu! Gu, gu, guuu!
It’s You, who create all the worlds!
It’s You, who give life to all the living things!
It’s also You, who take back the lives! “
Ark loses his head when he sees that the spirits coming out of the burning bodies, which The angel of death poured into the sea of fire; with the happiness of returning to their homeland are running towards there. Iron Age’s donkey tells Ark that the emerald color part of the island is hell and that the gold color part of the island is paradise and the bridge leads there is called the bridge of Al Sırat which is thinner than hair and sharper than sword. And he advices him to go there. Ark, obeys him and crosses the bridge. As he steps into the holy place around which there is a layer of clouds in gold, he realizes a huge supreme Gate made of massive gold on which it’s written “ WORLDS ARE PERISHABLE BUT GOD IS EVERLAS-TING “ in fire. As he approaches, first a dazzling light and then an angel in a unique beauty appears.
“ Stop, perishable man! It’s a very sacred place here!”, he cries.
“ Isn’t it paradise where there’s the biggest luck and happiness?”, asks Ark.
“ In the sea of fire that you see, which creates and destroys everything, figures and appearances are created out of deformation. And these created figures and appearances are turning back to their deformation and origin again. Who creates all these, is the most sup-reme God who doesn’t need anyone or anything and who doesn’t have any partners. He is neither a ruthless God, nor a God who makes love with the people that he created himself. He has neither a son nor a father. He doesn’t give birth or make people give birth. In this holy place that the world’s inhabitants call “paradise”, there are no rivers in which honey, milk or wine runs. And there aren’t any Nymphs to amuse people. Here there’s neither time, nor ground. Neither superior, nor inferior. Neither big, nor small. Neither saints, nor prophets. Neither religion, nor belief. Neither religious, nor irreligious. There’s here neither mother, nor father, nor son. Neither intelligent, nor stupid. Neither name, nor material. Neither existence, nor non-existence. Here there’s only the UNIQUE GOD HİMSELF. And everyone is similar to HIM and part of HIM.
“ Oh! Please let me see what you’ve told me! Let me circle also around the supre-
me Creator together with other spirits!”, begs Ark.
“ No one carrying soul in his body, can enter here. You, too, will come here one day, when your day and time is over, but not now. According to your predestination, you have to live for a long time in the world, where you’ve come from and endure as it is written in your fate. We gave you a duty in the world. That’s why we made you come here. Now, return to the world you came from and announce everything we will inform you by the holy spirit what you must do in the materialist world. !”
When Ark insist to see the paradise even for an instant only, the Angel tells him:
“ Before I realize your wish, I want to say something to you. Never be proud of
having heard and seen what you’re now going to hear and see. Remember the fly in the
Valley of passion and Disbelievers who was thinking itself as the captain of a ship on a big-sea, but who, in fact, was on a piece of strow swimming in handful of urine. Just like the
fly, your seeing, hearing, knowing and life are limited. You’re as inferior and valueless as it is. You’ll be a valuable creature after your soul departs your envious body and be cleaned from its selfishness and malice in the sea of fire. Now, have a look toward!”
As the Angel has finished his words, the gold layer of clouds, surrounding the pa-
radise opens out for a while. A light in a peerless beauty that can’t be defined by thousands
mouths or thousand tongues appears and some divine melodies are heard. Ark, having his eyes burnt of what he has seen, fell down like a log. He starts falling down an emptiness quick-
ly in a deep darkness.
9 th Part : RETURNING THE WORLD
As Ark opens his eyes, he finds himself under the bush that he was lying down before entering the cave, the nightingale had told. Once, he was lying down there by suffering, but now he stands up happily, but blind. When he finds the holy stick, being his companion at the Valley of Dangers and The Valley of Search that he threw up to the sky, when he was on the sea of lava, his happiness grows. He takes it saying ,
“ Come, my friend. Let’s go on with our duty that we started at the Valley of Search,
in this world, too.”
And he sets on road. He goes and goes for years under sun, snow, rain, and storm.
He calls people living in poverty in the world dominated by capitalist and communist countries which exploit other poor countries and which compete with each other.
“ How happy he is, if envy is not his companion. How happy he is if his companion is the supreme God who creates all the worlds and who gives life to all creatures. The thing which causes a ship to sink, is the water inside it. The water under the ship makes it float. That’s why, pull out those who exploit and subdue you. Empty the water which causes your ship to sink. God created you in order not to discriminate between religion, language, race, color, and nation, and to live freely in peace. Never lose your hope. Keep awake the Vater of Hope to give you hope and power of life. Love and help each-other. Do not forget: property, posses-sion and title have got no value for God. Dogs of the Grandvather Baker are ejecting feaces on them. It’s love which raises mankind. It’s love which leads a man to God.!”
He preaches to unhappy people who have already forgotten to laugh, wherever he goes. Some have pity on him and give him a piece of bread, some, send him away saying “Frantic !” and hits him ruthlessly... etc.,..etc.
