Once upon a time only a heartbeat away, existed the most incredulous Kingdom ever known, it's name, The Kingdom of Light.

The Kingdom of light sat at the pinnacle of all islands, resting high above all other Kingdoms on the Island of Eternity surrounded by the Ocean of Pearls. Those who ruled it were from Royalty of Time Eternal where all were one & one was all. Existing as the beginning and yet also being the end of which neither could be separated from one another.

There were no others who could rule nor take their place. They ruled with love of the purest form combining with it the soothing & compassionate qualities of mercy & grace.

The Kingdom of Light being the pinnacle of the highest realm in all the Universal Kingdoms, there were no others above them. All other kingdoms were in realms of differing layers & dimensions, connected to each other by roads that were long, winding, narrow & wide.

Some Kingdoms could be reached easily & others were difficult to find due to the mazes of overlapping roads, mountains, forests & oceans all of which had their hidden treacheries.

There was one who by trickery, camouflaged the surroundings and directed travellers by deception, directing them to roads that led to a world that they were not travelling too and often lost, thus needing help to find the correct path to the original destination. Finding the right path was like trying to find their way out of a maze making their journey longer and more difficult than intended. It was for these very reasons that those who lived in the Kingdom of Light travelled the roads constantly, seeking those who had lost their way, giving them much needed rest, guidance and strength to continue their journey to safety. Of course, as with anything at anytime in any dimension there existed a polar opposite and there was one road and one kingdom that was to be avoided at all costs.

Every road from every kingdom led to the most famous of all roads known as the Fork. The Fork in the road when reached branched into three sections. One road would lead you directly to the Kingdom of Light, one road would take you back to the lower-level kingdoms branch & the third & final road would lead you to the depths of despair into the kingdom of No Return. Only one person could enter its gates to pull to safety those who had strayed into its darkness, all others from the Kingdom were forbidden, never to enter its gates under any circumstance.

CHAPTER TWO

The Kingdom of Light was as wide as it was long as it was high and it shone with a brilliance like the sun’s rays touching the facets of a diamond.

The city itself was made of the purest gold as clear as glass. It was surrounded by a high wall of transparent Jasper and the very foundations were adorned with precious Jewells such as Sapphires, Chalcedony, Emeralds, Sardonyx, Carnelian, Chrysolite, Beryl, Topaz, Chrysoprase, Jacinth and Amethyst.

the foundations were adorned with precious jewels.

The walls contained twelve gates made of twelve exquisite Pearls their borealis hues reflecting like the morning rainbow coloured dew.

Gates made from twelve precious Pearls .

There were four walls surrounding the city, the North, the South, the East and the West Wall, each wall had three gates and each gate was guarded by a Royal Guard to ensure no enemy of the Kingdom could enter to taint the heart and soul of The Kingdom of Lights purity.

Three gates in every wall

The roads throughout the Kingdom were solid Gold and all who walked on them felt the pulsing beat of the Kingdoms heart flow through them. This frequency energised their inner being, its softness flowing throughout replenishing the life force within.

The roads were made of pure translucent Gold

There was no need of sun nor moon as the Throne room, a blazing fire white, glowed in all its brilliance lighting up the Kingdom. This free flowing power, this energy cascaded to the lower dimensions, not only did it keep the Kingdom of Light alive it fed every Kingdom below it. Flowing from beneath the fire white throne was the river of Life and Eternity, crystal clear water sustaining life to all that was the Kingdom.

trees lined the river with twelve exquisite fruits on every tree

On either side of the river were trees bearing twelve differing kinds of luscious exquisite fruits of extreme rarity, their leaves medicinal for healing all ailments of the mind, body and soul.

Rare & healing fruits

The Jasper Palace was immense and filled with many rooms. The Majestic breath taking panoramic views of the Kingdom were available from any angle no matter where inside the Palace one stood, it was indeed an incredulous & splendid sight, no other kingdom could be compared with such beauty & majesty as this.

The surrounding mountains were of emerald green, the skies of sapphire blue. The mountains held wonders for all, a walk through the rainforest ringed valleys to the whispering glades, here personal messages of hope & encouragement on the soft velvet breeze would filter to the heart to the one searching for fulfilment.

Paradise Grove a place of refreshment for those fatigued & longing for hope, a resting place to view the horizon of roads forests & mountain peaks where the mind could relax in the softness that embraced the anguish of life and renew not only the mind but the Spirit also. Those who took the journey to this place were never disappointed at the outcome & the display of wonder left the receiver in awe of its beauty.

Emerald Green mountains & Sapphire Blue skies

The morning dew tinctured with rainbow hues glistened every morning watering all that was planted throughout the land so there was no need of rain.

Chapter Three

Music was an essential component of the Kingdom. Where there is music there will no doubt be singing and dancing. The Orchestra and Choir consisted of all those who lived in the Kingdom sharing a revolving roster ensuring everyone served in this arena. The serenade played continually, to interrupt the cycle would be like stopping the blood supply to the Kingdoms heart. Singing and making music helped those who were lost to cope with physical and emotional pain, allowing truth to be firmly etched into their heart, strengthening and transforming the inner darkness until they exuded the light of all being.

Dancing would on most occasions follow closely behind. It was always apparent that visitors could not resist tapping their feet to the rhythm that escalated to the almost ceremonial display of articulated movement.

Music, song & dance no one could resist

The Kingdom itself was self expanding. Every time an outsider came to the Kingdom of Light as a guest they stayed in the Renovation Mansion. Inside this mansion the Comforter would tend personally to all who were bound and infirm within their Spirit. All new arrivals were escorted to the restoration room, decorated with all their favourite colours and items of their dreams, large soft velvet beds, large feather down pillows, a shower that rained pure gold, aromatic soaps, the finest linen garments to wear and a personal guardian guide to escort them through the many rooms of the great mansion.

Showers rained of Gold

Every guest was greeted with an amazing delicious hamper which sat in the middle of the rooms diamond and marble dining table. The hamper overflowed with sweet and savoury treats filling the room with the most desirable aromas. There were jars of the finest olive and herb oils and the purest of honey's to drizzle over the softest breads ever baked and large pitchers of soft velvety white creamy milk to compliment the table of abundance. There were the array's of freshly roasted nuts, pomegranates, figs, elderberries, loquats, grapes, persimmons, rich mango and apricot nectars, the sweetest of wines and the exotic and rare healing fruits of the twelve trees that soaked their roots in the River of Life. It indeed was an amazing feast, lovingly provided to the welcomed guests that always replenished itself no matter how much one ate or took from it.

Everyday the Comforter and his assistants would come with the sacred book of living words and the art of renewal would be conducted. This teaching would unearth the bitter seed and dislodge it from its hiding place. Once discovered by the comforter he would release his breathe into the deep crevices of the soul of the guest and a great purging fire would envelope the twisted vine cleansing it of all that was not pure. The new villager was now set free from all hurts and scars of life, their hearts were made new, the old was passed away and what toxic and impure properties they brought with them were no longer residing within them. Just as the pine tree cones needed fire to reproduce, so indeed does the soul and when the seed of bitterness is purged a new seed is released. This is the seed of love and light. Once empowered, a notable change begins and the heart of this living being is softened bringing forth the wisdom of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Once teachings were completed the guest would attend the Kings Masquerade Ball where the whole Kingdom would celebrate the renewal and restoration of this welcomed individual. The King would gift them a beautiful gown, a signet ring and one of five crowns to signify their inclusion to the family of the Royal Kingdom.

A signet ring from the King

The Prince would present them with a white stone, on it their new unique Royal name was written. They were now entitled to live within the rooms of the inner mansion of the Kingdom and they would be given important missions to embark upon to spread the knowledge of the Light to the villages in the outer universals kingdoms.

A Crown for all

Each time a renewed guest was grafted by adoption into the family another room was added to the mansion and the whole of the land would expand just that much more. The Light would consume all that was of the dark realm that the new person would bring with them.

The Quantum Physics application meant the vibrating frequency would turn the darkness into light of the highest brilliance that no one other than the King, the Prince and the Comforter could withstand. When this frequency was at work exercising its power the villagers would stop and freeze in the moment like statues until the metamorphosis was established. This meant that the land they came from would decrease in its size and with the transferring from dark to light their old kingdom would become smaller and the Kingdom of Light would increase. Time stood still for those nano seconds and the eternal Kingdom would continue to expand in its unseen capacity of slow motion.

Chapter Four

It was well known amongst the inhabitants of the kingdoms that for every action there is an opposing action. The Kingdom of Light was no exception to the rule. The Kingdom of No Return was the enemy of all. This kingdoms ruler refused to apply the law of love and light and therefore the shrinkage of the lands he controlled and loosing them to the Kingdom of Light was an issue he didn't take lightly.

There were those among the islands of the Universal Kingdoms who went about their business as usual taking no stance on the subject and paid neither Kingdom an ounce of thought. They would go about their day working, visiting, travelling and back to home again. The daily routine rarely changed and putting any importance on thinking about the Kingdoms and changing the mundane just didn't make the top of the priority list. Oblivious to the importance of the war that raged between the two kingdoms, those who held no esteem for those who ruled continued in their daily ways often finding that living and surviving in comfort were difficult to achieve to the standard of their desires. Still their pride would prevent them from allowing all of their troubles to be laid down and allow love to change their hearts where the King could give them more than they ever desired just by a simple action of surrender.

The Emperor unfortunately watched by stealth those who sat on the fence and when an opportunity arose where he could deceptively insert his presence into a situation, he pounced with speed and agility offering a proposition that could not be refused. Once accepted the recipient would go about their daily business as the Emperors affiliate, blindsided of the transition taking place within their inner being, ignorant of the effect upon their thoughts, emotions, feelings, what they heard and what they spoke, unaware that their aura began to lack its lustre, regressing until it reached the pinnacle of having no light, the flame of the life force extinguished.

The Emperor watched by stealth.

Chapter 5

In the land of No Return the Emperor enjoyed his power with the utmost pride. Being Emperor was a fulfilment of his desires but not one that satisfied his heart. King was the position he truly wanted, desired, longed for with a passion. The over whelming desire to conquer the reigning King was the must have of all things. The Emperor of Obsolescence would not rest until his title could be that of King, he would fight for it, wage war and run into battle at every opportunity he could make possible to claim the prize.

All Kingdoms had their own protections and protectors but none were able to up keep an army except the Kingdoms of Light and the kingdom of No Return. If the Emperor Obsolescence ever came waring against a village with his army, neighbouring Kingdoms would send a Message to the Wing command and battalions would be sent to ensure the safety of all and the Emperor would need to retreat to his abode to ponder further his schemes of take over.

War was always an option

The Emperor was never satisfied at what wealth he held, his appetite was insatiable, his greed fed his hunger for domination and his plans for obtaining that which he lusted for seemed to be an ever increasing list of the most devious ideas that could be put into action. His cunningness to outsmart those opposed to him were beyond bold and the thought of defeat or even the torment of death was one that did not prevent his determination to dwindle. He would lie and deceive many, even with the truth to trick those who listened into his snare. Just like a spiders web of gossamer displaying its splendour in the light, the victim, unawares of the stickiness that would entrap them, making an escape impossible, unless physically removed by a third party if they were able to negate the gossamer web.

The Emperor of Obsolescence was talented in the art of disguise his undaunting creativity would allow him to deceive the inhabitants of the kingdoms allowing them to believe he was from the Kingdom of Light. Of course the closer he got to the Kingdom of Light it was harder to fool those who could discern his attributes. Needless to say once he was outside the gates of the Palace he could fool no one. His identity would be exposed by the guardians resulting in him being escorted to the Kings court room. Here he would be questioned by the elders of twenty four on his presence in the Kingdom and his undeniable quest of destruction and conniving to bring war to the land to do collateral damage.

The surroundings of his own kingdom

Many times the Emperor was bold beyond belief that he would directly question the King, taunting him with offers and negative accusations he would bring to the courts against specific inhabitants of the Kingdom. One would think the Emperor would learn from previous episodes that his accusations were tainted and would often result in him being expelled with great fury on the Kings behalf. But even though the King knew of the Emperors intentions he still abided by his natural laws and listened to every word transmitted from his uncontrolled tongue. Once the King had weighed up the Emperors argument and found it wanting ... The King would introduce this con man into time travel, usually one that was back wards. The Emperor would be mid sentence and suddenly realize that his surroundings were that of his own kingdom, needless to say this expulsion would greatly upset him to an uncontrollable rage.

Chapter Six

The Inhabitants of the Kingdom of Light functioned well in their abilities to ensure that all aspects of the Kingdom continued to work like a well oiled machine that was a pinnacle of perfection. Every one had gifts and talents, some more than others. But all were equipped for what they needed to do in their purpose and destiny. It was a comparison to a body, some worked as if they were the toes , allowing a balance to keep the body upright. Some worked as the arms, reaching out to hold, or give to those in need and help with the work of maintaining the purpose of the Kingdom. Others would act as the ears, keeping record of things spoken & their effect on the frequencies of all that were living and the consequences this had not only on the individual but also on the living kingdoms. Then there were those who fell into the category of the legs, spine, fingers or head. Each had purpose no matter what part of the body they served to achieve their purpose as a Kingdom member. Everyone fitted into a part of the body and all worked as a team to ensure they were doing all they could at all times.

It was essential that all inhabitants of the Kingdom of Light were able to offer assistance to all of those in the other dimensional kingdoms whether it be on the multi roads or within their kingdoms. Inner healing of the mind body and soul was of an unprecedented importance, being whole and in sync with the light and the frequencies of life to allow the balance of the universe to reverberate outwardly to flow in the gravitational pull of eternity.

Teams of workers would go on visitations to the surrounding kingdoms tasked with the assignment of checking on the medicinal needs of those unable to make the journey outside of their own land. It was a necessary commission, the people were in need and and the inhabitants were always grateful that help was within reach when needed and that they were being cared for at no expense to themselves.

The remedial workers were sent out in teams of two's, fours & fives every month. Delegates often spent extra time away from the Kingdom of Light for weeks on end to ensure that the furthest Kingdom was attended to and all inhabitants had access to any medicinal needs of the mind body and soul. How many in the team was determined by the mission and size of the Kingdoms. Those who were deemed to be in grave danger with their ailments were taken on a journey and escorted back to the Kingdom of Light where intensive care would be administered and there they would be offered permanent residency, if they declined they would be escorted back to there homeland with no obligation owing to the Kingdom of Light.

On every journey they took large supplies of provisions from the Kingdom of Light's storehouse. No one was ever to be hungry or thirsty, these basic necessities were always provided free of charge to any and all who required them, bar one, the kingdom of No Return. They were solely responsible to provide for their own kingdom in all arenas. Unfortunately being as they were they often went raiding the surrounding Kingdoms pilfering their goods for themselves and filling the inhabitants with fear and trembling.

Chapter Seven.

Amongst the many millions who lived in the Kingdom of Light and participated in regular visitations, there were two who stood out from the crowd with their enthusiasm. Yes, they were devoted to doing as much as they possibly could muster from within just as every other member of the Kingdom did, but there was something unique, something different about these young ones that was clearly evident to those who took notice. They had a driving force within them that instilled an intense passion for others but that burning fire within them made them shine with a brilliance like no other, they had no fear, no judgement, such strong empathy, a courage that was enviable and wisdom that defied their young age. Being twins they certainly shared common ground on their ability to think in a synchronized manner that enabled them to make the most of every situation they came across.

Perhaps these attributes were surely destined to be a part of them for the purpose they would serve with the greatest of gusto in the Kingdom of Light. Surely these wonderful gifts they would utilise were displayed in their names. One could ask " What's in a name ?"

Oh there is much to learn and know of in a name. Every name in the Kingdom of Light had a special meaning, it was specially chosen by the King himself and every name had a significance attached for the purpose and destiny of the name holder. A name was indeed of great importance. There was no one in the Kingdom that was of no importance or insignificant, all were loved, all were destined to be who they were and to be where they were ..exactly where they were. No matter who you were or where you had come from, no matter how broken and torn you may have been your name mattered and once made whole a new name the King would bestow upon you to set in eternity the victory that had been achieved by your enlightenment.

And so here begins the amazing travels and the record of the journey's under taken of the twins Faith & Courage.
