While Mani was still filled with this deep restful alertness, she looked at the next of the tender mermaids.
The starry sky above the head of the girl sent subtle showers of knowledge trickling down onto the calm of her consciousness.
“Who are you?” Mani asked. ”I am the daughter of the sun,” was the answer.
At these words the gates of her perception opened even wider.

Above the silvery-white horizon of her thinking a red-golden sea of lights rose like an aurora.
Sun-power rose from the depth of her being over the edge of her thinking and led the waves of her cognition to blissful rest.

Mani entered the blossoming sun-land of her creative power.

Whatever she saw, was permeated by a deep meaning which she beheld and sensed and which, when touched, poured showers of happiness over her.

When she looked into the magic gardens of her mind she noticed blissful growth all around. In the depth of her awakening conscience she heard the delight-giving sound of a familiar stellar music.

With growing self-realization this entire sun-creation shone forth brighter and brighter; her powers of conscience were pure sparks of happiness.
All the golden shine of this unbounded world of her being emanated only from herself - indeed, it arose from her realizing that the whole world was part of herself.

Experiencing the sun-sphere of her feeling filled Mani with an unbounded, blessed feeling of power; because she recognized herself to be the enlivening, the stimulating, the all-creative mother of the world.
As its benefactor she travelled through the creation and brought the light of day to all beings.

When she found herself back at the richly laid table and saw the beautiful fairies, Mani was even convinced that it was herself who had brought about this happy meeting.
