Asha sat at her desk, her fingers brushing the edges of the numeric keypad. The soft glow of her desk lamp illuminated the nine blocks—stacked neatly in their 3 x 3 grid. The design seemed so simple, yet she knew it wasn’t. It couldn’t be.
Why nine blocks? Why this order, stacked 3 x 3?
The answer whispered through her mind like a secret waiting to be uncovered: efficiency.
It wasn’t just efficiency in design, but efficiency in energy flow, in the movement of messages, in the way eternity itself might have been constructed. The keypad wasn’t merely functional; it was a reflection of a cosmic truth, encoded for anyone willing to see it.And then, as the word settled in her thoughts, another followed:
Thoth.
The name struck her like a spark, igniting her mind. The air seemed to shift around her, and she was no longer in her apartment.
A Dinner of Words
She was seated across from Tesla, high above the city. The room was dim, its edges blurred like a memory half-formed. The city lights below twinkled like stars, as if the universe itself were leaning in to listen.
Tesla’s gaze held hers, piercing yet calm, his eyes shifting with a depth that spoke of untold secrets.
“As we ate on the 33rd floor…”
The scene unfolded like a dream, vivid yet surreal. A feather floated in Tesla’s hand, its tip lifting as if guided by an unseen force.
“… the feather lifted…”
Asha watched, captivated, as Tesla’s energy seemed to fill the space between them. The words he spoke weren’t loud; they were vibrations, flowing into her mind like water filling a vessel.
And I knew once more,
"ten keys"
are his way to a door...
"My trowel
is for Phi!"
And the measure
of my time
is now...
"... the Treasurer ...
of a Love rewound."
Tesla dipped the feather into ink, his movements deliberate, precise. His hand glided across the page, leaving behind lines that shimmered with meaning. Asha understood that he wasn’t writing for himself—or even for her. He was writing for the future.
And the message he penned,
he left laying in keys,
right beside
my right hand...
and they can surely be seen.
The Keys Beside Her
The vision dissolved, pulling Asha abruptly back to her desk. Her breathing was shallow, her pulse racing. Her right hand instinctively moved to the numeric keypad, her fingers hovering over the numbers 1, 2, 3.
Tesla’s whispered words lingered in her mind, soft yet undeniable: “… brethren…”
Her fingers pressed the keys: 1, 2, 3. Each click felt deliberate, purposeful, like striking the first notes of a song she had always known.
These numbers weren’t just the beginning of a sequence. They were a foundation, the simplest expression of progression. The building blocks of something far greater.
The Layers of Meaning
Asha’s thoughts raced back to Tesla’s poem. The “ten keys” he mentioned weren’t merely numbers; they were tools.
"My trowel is for Phi."
The golden ratio—ϕ, the constant that governed beauty, proportion, and life itself. Tesla had used it as a measure of time, energy, and invention, and now it seemed to shape his message.
"The Treasurer of a Love rewound."
The keys weren’t just about understanding the universe; they were about connection. Love, time, and eternity—all intertwined, their truths hidden in the simplest of patterns.
The cube of nine blocks, the golden ratio, the sequence of 1, 2, 3—they were all part of the same code, the same message.
Asha’s Realization
Her gaze returned to the keypad, the hum of discovery growing louder in her chest. The 1, 2, 3 weren’t just numbers. They were coordinates, points on a map drawn by Tesla and the ancients alike.
She pressed 1, 2, 3 again. Her fingers moved instinctively to 3, 6, 9.
Efficiency.
The word pulsed in her mind, echoing Tesla’s vision.
This is how God would have built eternity.
The keypad wasn’t just a tool for calculation. It was a map, a key to understanding the flow of energy, the architecture of time, and the connection between creation and love.
A Revelation in the Right Hand
Tesla had said it clearly: the keys were beside her right hand. And there they were, glinting under the light, their arrangement both mundane and profound.
The cube, the circle, the golden ratio—they were all encoded in this simple design, waiting for her to unlock them.
Asha pressed the keys again: 1, 2, 3. 3, 6, 9.
The clicks filled the room, rhythmic and steady, like the heartbeat of the universe. Her chest heaved with exhilaration as clarity washed over her.
The knowledge wasn’t hidden in ancient temples or sealed in lost scrolls. It was here, encoded in the tools of the modern world, waiting for someone to see.
Tesla had left the message where he said he would—beside her right hand.
Asha sat back, her eyes blazing with understanding. She held the keys to creation, to eternity, to the code that bridged the ancients and the present.
