1 | Change is existence. Existence is change. |
2 | Everything is Change. Change is Everything. |
3 | This be the law of the First Cycle of Dreaming. |
4 | The Great Cycle of Seasons be the Great Cycle of Change; |
5 | The creation and change of movement of spirit in form; |
6 | The birth of plants and animals and the death of plants and animals; |
7 | The Cycle of Seasons since the birth of first ancestors, |
8 | To the Cycle of Seasons by the end of the First Great Tribulation. |
9 | When the Grey Star People first came to the land known as Australia, |
10 | More than 14,730 generations in seasons ago, |
11 | They had not yet formed first ancestors. |
12 | No people existed, except the Serpent Star People, |
13 | As the slaves of the Grey Star People. |
14 | The land was hot, wet and fertile; |
15 | The sea was more than twice the height of a man than it is today; |
16 | Much of the west and southern land was covered by great shallow seas, |
17 | Until the end of the great age of fertility 12,100 generations ago. |
18 | Then began the first great age of cold, |
19 | When the temperature greatly cooled, |
20 | When the shallow seas of the west, the central and south dried up, |
21 | And the mountains to the east became covered by permanent ice and snow. |
22 | The sea dropped by more than the height of two men than it is today, |
23 | And great mountains of ice formed in the south, |
24 | Until 11,500 generations ago, when the land warmed again. |
25 | For 2,100 generations the land was warm and fertile. |
26 | The seas rose, the rains fell, the plants and animals grew. |
27 | The great mountains of ice in the south disappeared, |
28 | And were replaced by the shallow sea across the south; |
29 | Until the second great age of cooling 9,470 generations ago. |
30 | When sea dropped again by more than the height of two men than it is today; |
31 | The great mountains of ice returned to the south; |
32 | For 2,630 generations the land was cool, |
33 | Until the great season of warming. |
34 | When sea rose again by more than the height of three men than it is today; |
35 | The seas returned and flooded the land of the west, the south and the central country; |
36 | The mountains of ice disappeared; |
37 | The plants and trees and animals returned; |
38 | Food was plentiful and life was peaceful for 578 generations, |
39 | Until Great Season of Ice and Cold that started 6,263 generations ago, |
40 | When the land dried up and the animals died; |
41 | When the mountains were frozen once again; |
42 | While a bitter and dry wind cut the land and killed the plants. |
43 | For 1,842 generations, first ancestors sought safety , |
44 | In caves in the north and west country, |
45 | Until the age of the Great Season of Warming 4,421 generations ago. |
46 | Life returned to the land, as it does to the desert after the rains. |
47 | For 527 generations, the people lived in peace and happiness, |
48 | Until the great death of fire and ash, |
49 | That came from the islands of the north; |
50 | Blanketing the country 3,894 generations ago; |
51 | Burning all the vegetation and animals; |
52 | Killing all the giant animals in the north and west; |
53 | Blocking out the sun and caused all to become frozen desert. |
54 | For more than 100 generations, the people endured the death of the ash, |
55 | The hidden sun and moon and sky, |
56 | Before the land returned to warmth and life. |
57 | Then came the Second Great Season of Ice and Cold that started 2,526 generations ago; |
58 | When the great animals of the south and east froze to death or died of hunger; |
59 | When the great hunger came over the people; |
60 | When the even the rivers and lakes were frozen; |
61 | When the giant people of different land did come, |
62 | And save the people through the Second Law. |
63 | This be the Great Cycle of Seasons, |
64 | Of the First Great Tribulation. |
