Signature # 15:04

Visualisation of the Flame and the Void is a tool used by BladeMasters* to enter the Present; to free themselves from Mind - thought and emotion. In a state of being and Oneness, fear learned in the past, and the anticipation of future outcomes cease. Here and now is the only truth, the only time.
*From the work of R. Jordan, Wheel of Time series
