The Sphere of Redemption Part II

Part II: Lucifer's River Quest for the Lost Seed of Redemption, Tempera, 4' x 9'

Lucifer attempts to race the under portion of the Sacred River in an effort to re-discover the Lost Seed of Redemption. He becomes a living skeleton and reaches the bottom of the river exhausted, but without the power to sleep. He lies there for such eons that he becomes as petrified stone. An exchange of thought-response with Eden - resultant from Eve's desire within the newly created Adam to become herself - causes Lucifer to stir, the stone to disintegrate and his rising from the mud in reptile form. He rises through the river and eventually draws himself up on the fringe of Eden, where he gazes towards the central Tree of Life.
