friendly smile. As I could not speak or even nod, I mere- ly regarded HER,
puzzled by how clearly I could see HER consider- ing how dark it was.
Obviously one went on a real "trip" with a dose of Lorr venom in your
bloodstream! A great hallucinogen!
Giving me a smile, SHE extended a hand to me, and suddenly I was
standing there beside HER, with my body still buried up to my neck there in
the ground before me! Wow! Was I ever hallucinat- ing now as I looked at
myself! My own attire some sort of shim- mering material totally unsuitable
for bitter chill of the night! Yet, I could breathe perfectly well despite the
lack of an oxygen mask! The thought going through my mind that in Edgar Rice
Bur- roughs' "A PRINCESS OF MARS" the hero, John Carter, was separated from
his body much like I had just been just before being trans- mitted to the
planet Mars where all his adventures took place. The reality of course being
that he would have died in a few minutes here on Mars gasping for breath, the
atmosphere at the time Mr. Burroughs' wrote his book having been even thinner
than it is now before the Lorr started "terraforming" their planet!
"You don't believe, do you?" SHE said to me. I told HER I didn't, quite
surprised to find that I could talk now! Obviously this was all some "dream"
that I was having thanks to the venom!
Turning to me, SHE extended HER hands to me, and as I clasped them in
mine, SUDDENLY WE WERE MIND-LINKED! HER POWER SO GREAT THAT RASPA'S OWN MIND
WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A LITTLE TINY CANDLE COMPARED TO AN ENTIRE UNIVERSE OF
BLAZING SUPER-NOVAS!!!
"I didn't know," I whimpered, going to my knees before HER. I had never
really believed SHE existed! I had always thought SHE was just something
people had "invented" so that they could live off of other people! I KNELT IN
THE AUGUST PRESENCE OF SHE WHO WAS QUEEN OF EVERYTHING! SHE WHO HAD LIVED
BEFORE TIME, WHO WAS ETERNAL, EVERLASTING! SHE WHO WAS EVERYWHERE,
EVERYPLACE!
"You're GOD!" I gasped, seeing HER smile. I had always thought of GOD as
being an old man, but that is just Jewish folk- lore. SHE is without form or
shape. We make HER in our own im- age and likeness. Raspa saw HER as a Lorr. I
saw HER as a very beautiful woman. Others have seen HER differently. SHE is a
sixth dimensional Being, to whom Time and Space mean nothing. SHE can cross
the billions of light years of the Universe in less time than light itself
would cross the diameter of the smallest of atomic particles. Her intelligence
is that of all the intel- ligent races of the Universe combined. She is LYS,
GOD, JEHOVAH, ALLAH, MAZDA, MITHRA, ZEUS, SHE-IT-ALL. Her names are beyond
numbering. SHE is LIFE, INTELLIGENCE, TRUTH, GOOD, the INFINITE.
"I have been called that among other things," SHE admitted with a smile.
"Currently I am generally referred to as `LYS' by the people of your world
thanks to the Priestesses who follow my teachings as best they can." I
wondered if SHE even had a Name?
"Have you ever appeared to others?" I breathed, thinking, remembering
the teachings of my childhood. SHE nodded, smiling. Once SHE had mind-linked
with the son of a Jewish carpenter. He had tried to tell everyone what he had
learned from HER, but they crucified him, not understanding such truths.
Another time SHE had spoken to a man in Asia, but he had not understood HER.
What SHE wished him to do. The son of the Jewish carpenter had done the best
job so far of any SHE had spoken to directly, although SHE was more delighted
with the efforts of the Priestesses of Lys and what they had done for the
human race. Saying that they did not exploit the people like others had done
in HER name for their own gain. Or tell lies about HER as others had done in

the past! I understood now why the Priestesses of Lys were the only legal
religion left on Earth. Why Christianity had been "stamped out"! SHE told me
without words why in HER eyes it had finally become only an instrument of THE
EVIL ONE who delighted in doing things against HER teachings, who fought HER
for every SOUL that yearned towards UNITY with HER! I felt that same yearning,
the urge to be Held in HER arms, to "lose" my own Self in HER utter Goodness!
"Raspa is dying," SHE suddenly said to me, there being an instant of
"blurring" and then SHE and I stood there on the sands of Mars looking down at
the giant ant lying there on its side, Raspa feebly extending her antennae
towards SHE. I saw SHE touch the tips of Raspa's long whip-like antennae, and
then I was MIND-LINKED with Raspa! I sensed Raspa's thoughts, saw SHE as Raspa
saw her, as a Lorr, but different in shape from that of a Lorr Princess, the
abdomen being larger, different, that of a Lorr whose life is dedicated to
reproducing more of her own kind!
Then there was a soft warm glow that seemed to surround Ras- pa, and I
saw Raspa get to her feet, her broken forelimb instant- ly healed, her damaged
ruined dying heart repaired, for Raspa had overstrained her heart in the thin
atmosphere of Mars by running too fast, too long for even her lungs to supply
her body with enough oxygen! I shared with Raspa that feeling of yearning, of
love for SHE-IT-ALL as the Lorr refer to HER as. SHE standing there, watching
us both, glowing in the darkness, the chill sands of Mars untouched by HER
feet. To me SHE appeared as an incredi- bly beautiful woman, but to Raspa SHE
was a beautiful Lorr Queen.
"It is best," SHE said to us, "That you continue on as you have." I
understood the questions that would be asked were SHE to teleport us both to
safety so easily. I understood why SHE did not interfere in the affairs of Men
even when THE EVIL ONE did so. I understood why SHE, with her awesome powers,
