Speaker A
This is the ignition point. This is the land where heaven rests on four pillars.
Speaker A
Maris, Ararats, the Twin Peaks, greater and lesser. Ma and Cis, mother and sister, the breasts of Gia.
Speaker A
The snowmelt flows down the Krasdan River, feeding the hearth of Yeravan. Without the breast, the heart has nothing to burn.
Speaker A
The observer on the plane is the child in the lap of the goddess looking up and speaking the oldest word, ma.
Speaker A
Yeravan, the city of the half. Here in 782 BCE, King Argishti, the one satiated by the divine fire, founded the fortress of Erbuni.
Speaker A
The citadel was laid out as a downward triangle. The yoni, the womb, the half.
Speaker A
The name breaks as yer e anan. The place where the yearning flame ascends to heaven.
Speaker A
The half has never moved. Only the tongue has matured. Aragats. Ararats oi. The divine fire in the stone cauldron.
Speaker A
A quaternary strato volcano. Its caldera is 13 km wide, rimmed by four peaks. These are the four pillars that Thutmose III's scribes recorded in 1446 BC.
Speaker A
Heaven rests upon its four pillars in the land of the Armenen. But Aragats is more than a cauldron. It is the womb of Gaia, the geological uterus that births basalt, and light pumice.
Speaker A
And it is the tomb, the V, the abyss that swallows the summit in death.
Speaker A
The womb and the tomb are the same opening. One gate, two directions. The child enters and the ancestor returns.
Speaker A
The stones. Remember vishapakar, not dragon stones, vishapakar, stone of the abyssal precipitant.
Speaker A
These basalt monoliths mark the boundaries of volcanic destruction. The ram is the sigil of ar, the fire, the eruption.
Speaker A
The fish is the sigil of mana, the water, the matrix. Together they are the alchemical marriage, the stone books of the land.
Speaker A
Sean, Sev Anne, the stillness through which the vertical reflects heaven, the third eye of Gia, the mirror of Anaheit.
Speaker A
Here, the Ishkam trout, the prince, swims in the cosmic waters. When the firestone of the volcano strikes the water, the Ishkam leaps into the air. He is the living Io, the yes between water and sky.
Speaker A
He is Hoffhanes, the prince who baptizes. He is the soul that feeds the king.
Speaker A
Sean receives the light of Aragats and the voice of Tatev and returns only silence and wisdom.
Speaker A
Tatev, the winged voice, the kaz, the ancient notation of the Armenian soul. Here the duduk was born.
Speaker A
The kazoo, the breath of the earth shaped into melody. Eight finger holes for the earthly octave. The ninth thumb hole for the portal to an.
Speaker A
The goose taught this sound. The monks carved it into the stone walls. The grotto beneath the monastery is the larynx of the canyon, the womb of resonance.
Speaker A
Sit here in silence and you will hear the RMN, the unuttered potential. The countdown is complete.
Speaker A
10. The 10 fingers that carve the stone. Nine. The nine holes of the duduk.
Speaker A
Eight. The eight sides of the bell tower. Seven. The seven vowels of RMN.
Speaker A
Six. The six nodes of the grid. Five. The five elements. Four. The four pillars of Aragats.
Speaker A
Three. The three-fold body of the goddess: breast, half, womb. Two, the two peaks of masses.
Speaker A
One, the one that sees, the eye.
