Another world
The luminous sphere brought the couple to distant stars, in a sector of the universe that was accessible only to certain forms of life.
The traveler was able to contemplate all the stars he had so wanted to touch. The galaxies paraded at a vertiginous speed, exploding the multicolored colors that composed them. He remained for a moment, stupefied by so much beauty. At this speed, the universe was no more than a huge palette with the most changing colors. He paid no attention to the woman who was guiding him through the stars.
Then, the moment of exaltation passed, he decided again to look at the one who had come looking for him. One more moment, to better appreciate what she must have been, and he finally decided to break the silence. The curiosity that animated him was stronger than all the wonders of heaven.
"Where are we going, who are you to have so much power over the things and beings of the universe?"
The woman remained impassive. Her gaze was always fixed on a point of the universe known to her alone. Looking at her, he could not understand why she was silent. Her question was very simple, and with so many powers, this goddess must be able to answer him. Even if they did not speak the same language.
After a while she decided to loosen her teeth anyway.
"We are going to another world, this world is the one you know best, because it is the image of your dreams, a world created in your own image ... a world you love, and that you respect ."
He wondered, what was this whole story? He was waiting for her to give her a simple answer. A place, or something else ... But what did she mean by a "world created in her image"? He did not think that one could travel in a world that, after all, was imaginary. And there, he did not dream! Certainly, this woman must have lost all sense.
She surprised her thought, but she did not flinch. Just on his lips, a little smile grinned.
Surprised, he had the impression that someone was playing him a wrong trick. So not to be outdone, he decided to ask a question, which his guide could only answer.
"But who are you, who seems to know everything? Who are you to know what I love and respect the most in the world? You come here, in my life, when I never had anything asked no one, you shake up my whole existence, you take me to "perpetrator", and I do not know anything, who gave you this right over beings?
"I am you," she replied.
"You are me, what is this story, you can not be what I am, since we are together in this luminous thing, and apparently we are formed of two separate bodies ."
Suddenly, she burst out laughing, and that without her eyes having left the point of the universe which she had fixed when leaving.
"You still have a lot to learn ... Yes, I'm you, but that part of you, your consciousness had forgotten it, you do not even remember how you got there. to shoot cheap, to forget for eternity, what you were and what you did ... But I did not want it ... Your role did not end with your departure from the old world. Your task is yet to come, and I must help this other myself to do it. "
He could not understand.
"But, you can not be me, you're just a woman, or the appearance of it. Me, look, I’m a damn man!"
The smile on her face went away. She did not want to be bothered by the questions she did not have to answer. This was not his mission. She remained focused on this obscure point, the goal of their journey. The man gave up understanding and shut himself up in a silence, which said a lot about it ... He felt like prisoner of the light and the woman who led him. Still, he felt his mind relieved. The fear he had of not being master of events, went away from his soul. What was happening in the bubble of light was strange but did not seem to be insurmountable. He thought he would wait for a better moment to give a new attack, and thus get all the answers he expected. Besides, this woman with such a sweet smile, and with so beautiful eyes, could not be an enemy.
She felt that he had finally calmed down. So he could hear the answers he expected.
"You are a physical entity moved by a spiritual force, and you had forgotten it. This strength, which I represent, is that other self which is your spirit. I was in the depths of your subconscious, and from you comes the wonder of duplication. You have taken me out of you to better understand certain things, such as your loneliness. Your memories, buried in the depths of your soul, have returned to you, and suddenly your old anxieties reappeared. You were going back to the abyss of remorse and sadness that had already lost you before. That's why I came, and I was allowed to be revealed ..."
He had trouble understanding the meaning of these words. The education which had been hers was of no help to her to admit what she said. He had not been prepared for the things of the irrational which, in his old world, had been banished to the benefit of the exact sciences.
Scientists of all stripes had the answer to all the riddles of the universe. They had the hand on the cultural and cultic dogmas of his society. They defined what should and should not be, regardless of how uneasy they were.
Many people could no longer conceive of anything other than what was prescribed. The world was doing well, since it was held by a power that answered everything.
A kind of all power had settled over humanity, and no one wanted to make the effort to contradict it. Nobody except him. And that's what set fire to the powder. He did not know what pushed him, but he had an intuition. This intuition could be verified by power, but if that had been the case, it would have been the end of these centuries of ignorance, maintained for a small number to enslave the greatest number.
A moment passed again without a glimpse of a simpler solution. For the first time since their departure, the woman looked away from this fixed point in space. She spoke to him again.
"We are coming to the end of our trip!"
"But where are we?" He replied, "I seem to recognize this planet, it's strangely familiar to me ... But, but it's the Earth! Listen, I do not quite understand the meaning of all this, you tell me, that we are going to another world, and now we are at the starting point, I would like you to decide to explain this 'confusion' to me. "
The woman's face lit up with a burst of laughter. She could barely contain her hilarity.
"It's not our starting point, but it's like it, you'll realize for yourself that many things are very different from what was on Earth. the right to explain to you because the time has not come The only thing I'm allowed to tell you is the name of this planet, its name is Juby. "
He was disconcerted. He would have sworn, however, that it was the Earth beneath the bubble of light. Was it a mirage, one more of the woman's tricks?
"Juby, what's that Juby? I've never heard of this town!"
She kept her smile on her lips so she was enjoying the situation. She was him, he was her, but he knew nothing ... Nothing that could have made him move faster. Besides, she knew very well that he had a dirty temper. Always unhappy with his fate, this man ... But she could not blame him. Of course, she would have liked to be able to tell him more about Juby's situation in the universe, but could not help but keep this secret ... Like so many others that he should break through one day. The only thing she could do was go with her on Earth's binoculars and make her discover the best she could.
The light bubble was still in orbit around Juby. The ship's navigator concentrated again, waiting for instructions to enter the atmosphere.
The authorization reached, the ball of light was transformed. She became opaque to the light. Inside, the golden pink light was always present. Outside, in the coldness of intergalactic space, their spaceship was no more than a dark mass, no longer reflecting the light, as if it was swallowing it. They disappeared from space to find themselves on Juby's floor.
