The World Melts away and you step into Anna’s World and the Abstract.

Anna stands alone in her Captain’s Quarter and she gazes out the Window at her Island where the Beacon is lit. It shines bright. 

“This is my Test,” Anna says. “If I don’t ever take the Test, I’ll never know if My Theory works. And if it does work…” Anna swallowed the lump in her throat. “Then this will solve everything.”

Anna sat down at the red velvet couch in the middle of the quarters lavished in deep Greens and blues, reds and purples and browns. A fire pit crackled in the center of the room and Anna flicked her wrist to summon a glass of white wine as she sank back in the couch. 

“An Ashavana is never to teach,” Anna said. “They are to only Learn. And they are always to respect The Learning Journey Of The Discovered Self of Others. We are only to prepare the Asha Pilgrim for their Next Journey. When you fail at this, what you really do is steal their Story from them. Always remember The Teacher’s Creed. Always remember The Teacher’s Creed. 

Story Theft is the greatest Sin of all. And there are Only Three.

I lived my Story. I found my Plato’s Point. The Origin. And I followed the “Q-Axis” to get out. And now… 

**Passes the Torch to you**

It’s your turn. And when you are done, you are to pass it on to your Students and it will be their turn… and then they too will pass the Torch on down through all of Time. 

For together, we all are Journeying along The “Q.”

In one way,” Anna said peering out from Logos. “I am still inside the “Q” and I will never make it out, which is why each one of us can only go so far before we pass the torch on to the next Generation… and the next… and the next… 

This is what Teaching REALLY is.

We are The Torch Bearers. 

The Beacon is lit. And now, from that Beacon, I light my Torch and I pass it on to you. That is really what 21 January 2025 is. It is the day that I officially Pass this Torch on to you. If you succeed, only then will I have succeeded. 

And if you fail, then I would have failed you. In this, we all win together, or we all lose together. Always remember The Teacher’s Creed.

This is my Truth. And it is yours. It is all of ours.

This is Ashavana.”

Anna sipped the wine, wiped the tears from her eyes, and released a long, tired sigh.

“21 January 2025 is The Day we “Pass The Torch.” I believe… That is definitely going to be… an Ashavana Holiday. To forever remind us Why we Pass The Torch. For the Future.”

Anna looked down into her wine and swirled the liquid, smiling admirably at the Future. She released a sudden scoff just then with a smirk. “That is why we have our Olympic’s Torch.”

She released another deep sigh as if she had released the burdens of the world.

“The 12 Ethics. The Montoya-Liz Compass. The Ashavana Scientific Method. The Love Theorem. The AIDNS. And all of my Resources here that span The Ashavana Archives. They are all yours. I built them for you to help you get out of The Q so you too can pass that Torch on to the next Generation.

May your Journey be so much more gentler and easier than mine was and always remember The Teacher’s Creed.”

Anna raised her glass in toast to the world.

“For the Future.”

And she drank to the last drop.
