Close your eyes.

Allow you mind to wander.

You see before you a cave.

You walk closer to have a better look.

Visualize 12 cones or pyramids spiraling around a central source of light.

As they spin, alone and in harmony with each other, a grid or matrix is created by sound, light, and color linked to each other and the source of light consciousness.

An opening appears somewhere in the grid. It looks like a spiraling blue-white light.

At the same time, you can feel the grounds of the earth trembling, opened a hole just right before you, and uncovered a pair of double stone doors in front of you, laid horizontally, each one with a brass ring fixed into the middle.

You look on in amazement above the sand dunes as the cave fills with the golden light of the sacred creational flame.

Descend into the Cave of Wonders, and when you are walking quietly at the bottom of those steps, you will find a door which will lead you into a spacious vault, divided into the three great grand halls, in each of which you will see the four large brass cisterns placed on each side, full of gold and silver; but please take care that you do not meddle with them (Never touch them like the Tiger God warned you about them).

Before you enter the first grand hall, please be sure to tuck up your vest, wrap it about you, and then pass through the second grand hall into the third grand hall without stopping. Above all, have a good care that you do not touch the walls; for if you do that, then you will perish instantly.

At the end of the third grand hall, you will find a door which opens into a tropical Biblical-like garden planted with some fine palm trees loaded with shining-looking ripe fruits; walk directly across the garden by a path which will lead you to the five polished and carved white marble steps that will bring you upon a terrace, where you will see a niche before you, and over there in that niche a golden lighted lamp that looked like the real one being mentioned in the "The Story of Aladdin; Or The Wonderful Lamp" fairy-tale written by Kate Douglas Wiggin and Nora Archibald Smith.

You should know that it is no ordinary lamp but the famous lamp belonging to a real genie that lives in it. Take the lamp down, and extinguish it: when you have thrown away the wick, and poured out the liquor, put it in your vest-band and bring it to me. Do not be afraid that the liquor will spoil your clothes, for it is not the oil; and the lamp will be dry as soon as it is thrown out. If you should wish for any of the fruits of the garden, imagine that you may use your magical wand to quickly gather as much in your pockets and your picnic basket as you please.

But as you may carefully come down from the terrace, you stopped in the same garden to observe the fruits, which you can only have a better glimpse of in crossing it. All the palm trees were loaded with extraordinary fruit, of different colors on each palm tree. Some of them bore some fruits that are entirely white, and some that are as clear and transparent as crystal; some pale red, and the others deeper; some green, blue, and purple, and others yellow: in short, there were fruits of all colors. The white ones were the pearls; the clear and transparent ones are the diamonds; the deep red ones are the rubies; the green ones are the emeralds; the light-blue ones are turquoises; the purple one are the amethysts; and those that were of pale golden-yellow and dark navy-blue cast are the sapphires.

You might be less altogether ignorant of their worth like Aladdin was back then, and you would have preferred figs and grapes, or any other fruits. But though you took them only for the colored glass of a little value, yet you knew that you'll be so pleased with all the variety of the colors, and the beauty and extraordinary size of the seeming fruits, that you must resolve to gather some of every sort; and accordingly filled the two new purses you had bought with you along with your radiant clothes. So you have to wrap them up in the skirts of your vest, which was of silk, large and full, and you crammed your bosoms as full as it could hold.

Once you're having thus loaded yourself with riches, you may return back through the three grand halls again with the same precaution, make all the haste you could in a quick hurry, and soon you arrived at the mouth of the Cave of Wonders, you can see a magical flying Persian carpet waiting for you outside hovering above the sand dunes. Then run towards it, hop on top of it, and tell it to fly you and your treasures, and finally you wake up with your eyes wide open.
