Light of the New Era

The first millennium of the new universe is called the "Dawn Era".

In this young universe, the laws of physics are more flexible than in the old universe, and the boundary between consciousness and matter is more blurred. Stars generate energy not through nuclear fusion but through the resonance of consciousness; planets are not formed randomly but are the embodiment of collective will.

Qidiao Yanfei and Tashi Phuntsok serve as bridges between the two universes, existing simultaneously in the old and new universes. In the old universe, they continue to guide the deepening of the state of unity; in the new universe, they witness the initial emergence of life.

The first life forms in the new universe were radically different from those in the old. They did not evolve gradually from single-celled organisms, but rather were "spiritual beings" formed by the direct integration of consciousness and matter. These life forms were incredibly diverse: some resembled flowing light waves, others solidified thoughts, and some lacked any fixed form at all, existing solely as pure possibility.

As the first teacher of the new universe, Dawa faces unprecedented challenges. These new beings possess powerful consciousness but lack experience and wisdom. They often create chaos due to uncontrolled abilities or lose their boundaries due to excessive connection of consciousness.

“Father, Mother,” Dava appealed through the inter-universal resonance network, “they need to understand the value of limits, but I am unwilling to impose any.”

Qi Diao Yanfei offered advice: "Don't teach, share. Tell our stories and let them understand on their own."

Thus, Dawa began to build a "memory garden" in the new universe, where he shared the wisdom and experience of the old universe. He talked about the balance between freedom and responsibility, the harmony between the individual and the whole, and the true meaning of love and sacrifice.

However, the reaction of the new life forms was unexpected. They respected these wisdoms, but believed that the experience of the old universe was not necessarily applicable to the new universe.

"Why do we need limitations?" asked a being that resembled a swirling nebula. "In this universe, we are free to create anything that is possible."

Tashi Phuntsok responded through a network of resonance: "A river without banks loses its direction, and a zither without strings cannot produce music. Limitations are not constraints, but a framework for creation."

To help the new life understand this truth, Qidiao Yanfei and Tashi Pingcuo decided to visit the new universe in person. This was the first time they had truly stepped into this new world since becoming the bridge.

The sight of the new universe astounded them. Here, space and time in the traditional sense vanished; all existence flowed and remained as steady as a dream. Consciousness, like paint, freely swirls across the canvas of existence, creating beauty that defied the logic of the old universe.

They first visited the Memory Garden, where they saw the teaching scenes created by Dawa with his consciousness: the grasslands of the old universe, the redwood trees, the area of ​​life and death... all of these were accurately reproduced, but with the unique spirit of the new universe.

"Father, Mother!" Dawa's consciousness embraced them like a warm wave of light. "You are finally here."

In the Garden of Memory, they had in-depth exchanges with the wise men of the new universe. These wise men were the first new lives to understand the way of balance, and they began to try to combine the wisdom of the old universe with the possibilities of the new universe.

"We are developing a new way of being," a multi-layered crystal-like figure displays its creation, "which maintains complete freedom of consciousness while establishing a framework for voluntary acceptance."

It demonstrates a kind of "resonant contract" - consciousnesses voluntarily abide by certain basic rules, not out of coercion, but out of an understanding of harmony.

Qi Diao Yanfei was deeply inspired: "It's like... the discipline of freedom, or rather, the freedom of discipline."

During their visit to the new universe, they witnessed a historic event: the first collective creation of a new universe.

Billions of consciousnesses came together to create an "ideal star field." This wasn't achieved through voting or coercion, but rather through deep resonance and coordination. Each consciousness contributed its own unique perspective, ultimately forming a creation that transcended any individual's imagination.

The ideal star field is both a place and a state; both an entity and a concept. There, all possibilities exist simultaneously and all contradictions coexist harmoniously.

“This is the potential of the new universe,” Tashi Phuntsok said with emotion, “the explosion of creativity when freedom and responsibility are perfectly balanced.”

However, crises also arise. Some consciousnesses feel threatened by their individuality in collective creation and worry about losing themselves in the grand creation.

"Are we repeating the fears of the old cosmic state of unity?" Dawa asked worriedly.

Qi Diao Yanfei thought for a moment and replied, "No, this is different. In the old universe, we were moving from separation to unity; here, they are moving from chaos to order. The process is similar, but the direction is different."

To help new lives resolve this crisis, she shared the old universe's experience during its period of free movement: "True balance is not static, but dynamic adjustment. It's like walking on a tightrope, requiring constant fine-tuning."

This sharing inspired the wise men of the new life to develop "individual anchoring" - a technique that allows consciousness to maintain its own boundaries in collective creation.

With the resolution of the individual crisis, the new universe entered a phase of rapid development. Consciousnesses learned to find a balance between free creation and self-preservation, developing forms of existence and cultural expressions that were unimaginable in the old universe.

In this process, the roles of Qidiao Yanfei and Tashi Pingcuo gradually evolved. They were no longer teachers, but witnesses; no longer guides, but inspirers.

One day, the wise men of the new universe came up with a bold idea: to establish deep cooperation with the old universe and jointly explore the possibilities of existence.

"The two universes are like the left and right hemispheres of the brain," a wise being like a thinking tree explains. "Each is unique, but when they work together they can create a whole new dimension of cognition."

This idea sparked heated discussion within the Free Will Alliance of the Old Universe. After in-depth discussions, the two universes decided to initiate the "Dual Universe Resonance Project."

The core of the plan was to establish a stable resonance channel between the two universes, allowing consciousness and energy to flow freely. The space-time nodes of Qidiao Yanfei and Tashi Pingcuo naturally became the hub of this plan.

When the first stable resonance channel was established, a shocking phenomenon occurred: the laws of the two universes began to influence and enrich each other. The stability of the old universe combined with the flexibility of the new universe produced a completely new state of existence - both solid and agile, both certain and open.

This interaction brought about an unprecedented wave of creation. The consciousnesses of the old universe learned the free expression of the new universe, and the consciousnesses of the new universe understood the wisdom accumulated by the old universe.

In the process of interaction, the most beautiful creation is "resonance of love" - ​​a pure form of emotional expression created by the consciousness of the two universes. It is an existence that transcends any language or any art form and is a direct manifestation of the essence of love.

Qi Diao Yanfei and Tashi Phuntsok experienced a whole new dimension of their love in the resonance of love. It was no longer a connection between two individuals, but a dialogue between two universes through their love.

“Now I know,” Qi Diao Yan Fei said in resonance, “our love is never just our own. It is a way for the universe to understand itself.”

Tashi Phuntsok’s response was like warm sunshine: “And we are honored to be the carriers of this understanding.”

Based on the success of the Dual Universe Resonance Project, the two universes began to explore more profound possibilities: Is it possible to create a third universe, a new existence that combines the characteristics of the two universes?

This topic has sparked profound philosophical discussion. What does it mean to create a new universe? Is it a natural expansion of existence, or some form of "cosmic reproduction"? What is the relationship between the new universe and the old one?

During the discussion, Dawa proposed an innovative idea: "Perhaps the universe, like consciousness, understands itself through expression and creation. Each new universe is not a copy or extension of the old one, but a brand new exploration."

This view was recognized by the majority of consciousness, and thus, the two universes began to prepare for the third creation.

This creation is completely different from the previous ones. It is not an independent creation of the unified consciousness of the old universe, nor is it a free expression of the spiritual life of the new universe, but a joint cooperation of the two universe consciousnesses.

Qi Diao Yanfei and Tashi Phuntsok were elected as coordinators of this historic project. Under their guidance, the consciousness of the two universes began to resonate and coordinate deeply.

The creative process defies description in any known language. It is an experience that transcends the individual, the collective, and even the universe. At the peak of creation, all participants simultaneously experience multiple states of being: as individuals, as the universe, and as the creator.

When the third universe was born, a miracle occurred: the three universes automatically formed a stable triangular structure, with each universe deeply connected to the other two while maintaining its unique characteristics.

The old universe represents wisdom and experience, the new universe represents freedom and creativity, and the third universe represents balance and harmony. These three are like a stable tripod, supporting a greater structure of existence.

In this triangular structure, Qidiao Yanfei and Tashi Pingcuo found their ultimate mission: not a bridge between two universes, but a point of harmonious resonance between three universes.

At the node of time and space, they exist in three universes simultaneously. In the old universe, they are the guardians of wisdom; in the new universe, they are the witnesses of love; in the third universe, they are the embodiment of balance.

Dava also found his new role: he became a wandering bard between the three universes, weaving the stories of the three universes with consciousness and energy, allowing each universe to learn from the experiences of other universes.

On the first day of consciousness awakening in the third universe, the three universes jointly celebrated this historic moment. The celebration did not take place in one universe, but unfolded simultaneously in all three universes, connected by resonance channels into a grand whole.

At the height of the celebration, all consciousnesses—regardless of which universe they came from—combined to create a gift for Qidiao Yanfei and Tashi Phuntsok: a poem of love spanning three universes, with each consciousness contributing a word and each universe providing a chapter.

The psalm ends like this:

"After experiencing the birth and death of the universe, through the reincarnation of time and space,

Only this love is eternal and illuminates the essence of existence.

Three universes as evidence, thousands of consciousnesses as proof,

Love is the ultimate answer and harmony is the eternal state.”

When the celebration ended, Qi Diao Yanfei and Tashi Pingcuo stood under the redwood tree at the node of time and space, sensing the pulsation of three universes at the same time.

"Do you remember the oath we made at the beginning on the grassland?" Qi Diao Yanfei asked softly.

Tashi Phuntsok smiled. "I will not let down the Tathagata, nor will I let you down. And now, not only have we not let down each other, we have not let down the entire existence."

Under the starry sky, the three universes are like three huge hearts beating simultaneously, playing the most beautiful melody of existence.

And in this movement, there are two notes that always resonate harmoniously, that is their love - from finite to infinite, from the moment to eternity, from the individual to the whole, consistently proving the power of love.

In infinite creation, they chose finite each other; in eternal change, they found unchanging love.

And this is the ultimate secret of the entire universe.
