No religious viewpoint will be barred,
including atheism, agnosticism, existentialism, and so on.
Eventually, it will be so large that many collaborators will
contribute one or two megabytes of our own web space, that
chapters may be linked together across the vast Internet
global network. The beautiful works contained therein will
shine with dignity, wisdom, and humor...and will touch the
hearts of all people, and slay the beast of homophobia for
once and for all. The vision that led to these realizations
started as a dream two years ago:
I was standing in a medieval monastery, in a room filled with monks bending over their wooden benches in devoted concentration to the creation of illuminated manuscript. It was a most peaceful scene, with warm, golden sunlight passing through a window. Only the monks also possessed soft, downy white wings...they were angels! One angel-monk who stood beside me, gave me a nudge in the direction of the benches, and said, "Go, and see what they're writing!" And that was the end of this lovely dream-vision. Other
visions have shown Hellenic people around the world secretly
gathering my writing to put into this new bible. And it
would, by then, include contributions by many other Lesbians
and Thracians...up to 70% of the entire contents. I was shown
how one morning I will walk by a bookstore and see this bible
of my dreams on display, as if by magic...since I didn't have to
lift so much as my little finger to get it published! Since then, I now realize that my web page is the birth
of this final testament...and already, I have two other
contributors besides myself. While I am obviously proud of my
accomplishments --including my future accomplishments-- I am
most proud of being able to provide a space of recognition to
those who have gone without any pats on the back for their
talents and courage.You take this in whatever way you so choose; I don't
care. But I do know my destiny is to play a major role in the
next series of victories on behalf of Hellenic Rights...via my
writings, art, and eventually, lectures. And many others will
also rise to recognition, like myself. It could even be
you...as I do not pass judgment on anyone.My web page includes "The Little Angel Who Wouldn't Fly",
as well as other intriguing materials. I am honored to have
such inspirations, and to be able to contribute in such
positive and empowering ways on behalf of all same-sex lovers.
It is a shame that many of my own gay brethren still pick at
me in such mean spirited manners. However, this will soon end, as more and more people realize I am not deluded at all...just incredibly gifted. And I have every intention of using this gift to the maximum of my abilities...which
includes empowering anyone else, as often as possible, as soon
as possible. I do not see myself as the only one with this
growing awareness, this calling is happening to...and I expect
a wonderful network of kindred souls to rapidly connect via
the Internet at first, then in other ways.April 1, 1997 Permission granted by author for anyone to distribute this writing free of charge (including translation into any language)...under condition that it remains intact and complete, including title and credit to the original author: Ezekiel J.
