The Vision of the Gems

In a vision I saw a series of gems - I don't know if they were set in anything or simply floating in space. But I intuitively understood that each of these gems represented a God. Each one was unique, different, had its own shape, colour, contour. Each represented a sphere or interest in the world distinct from the others. Taken in relation to each other, they represented the totality of all that is. But, as you drew closer to one, travelled inside and pondered the layers that unfolded before you, it became obvious that it was more than just its surface appearance. Within each gem there were whole worlds, a continuum of associations, infinite complexity. Each contained its own opposite, touched on concepts that were more clearly dilineated in other gems. Everything was present in every one of them - it is just that certain things are more prominant in one God than another, that light is refracted differently, and these ideas take on different flavors or colours, depending on which God you are perceiving them through.
