So they come to me. Ebih the mountain starts dragging their hulking death down to the underworld. What else can they do? They died. No where else to go. There’s a kind of flood of creatures coming racing in, all smaller than Ebih and caught up on the waves of their passing - Ebih comes towards the underworld like an ocean liner, with all the dying deer and trees and bulls and lions and flowers and ladybugs - all kind of curling off them as they careen in, gently gently in. They put seven gates between the underworld and the living, and as seven is a good number that works for chakras and rainbows it holds well. As Ebih the Mountain and their bow wave of death came along they got caught up in the gates, such a tide of them, and as the Anunna handled the masses as they do in every days’ disaster - hurricanes, wars, tsunamis, the number of beings who die each day is never too many to come through - I thought about the problem of the mountain, because: what does a mountain dying mean? Do you know about Aberfan? The volcanos being gutted in Bolivia. Mount Hiei? Black Mountain. Mount Osore. 32:T5af, ‘ "In the mountains" means the blossoming of the entire world. People outside the mountains do not realize or understand the mountains walking. Those without eyes to see mountains cannot realize, understand, see, or hear this as it is. If you doubt mountains' walking, you do not know your own walking; it is not that you do not walk, but that you do not know or understand your own walking. Since you do not know your walking, you should fully know the green mountains' walking. Green mountains are neither sentient nor insentient. You are neither sentient nor insentient.
