Sustainable Transmutations The Traveler Part 8

With those final words of the Voice, in a flash, the Traveler was back in his physical body, fighting to remain in control of himself. He could see the sun was about to set; he could hear the creatures of the dark howling over the victory of having conquered him. It was just moments before the full curtain of night would fall. On the city's outskirts, he could see an oak grove with a deer running into it. From inside himself, he again heard the feminine Voice from all those months ago: "The stars coerce and compel the animal man. What other reason is there for this, save that the man does not know or estimate himself or his own powers or reflect that he is a lesser Universe and has the whole firmament with its powers hidden within himself? But the wise man can dominate the stars and is not subject to them.”
