AMERICAN WATERCOLOR
- The one who was ignorant was not so by mistake, but because their spirit was blind.
- Therefore, when the fire was kindled, they saw with an eye that had never seen.
- Ignorance dissolved into the smoke, and as if it had never existed, it vanished in an instant.
- The Gospel of Truth. The Nag Hammadi Library.
The chapters below were transcribed by Olivier Vilaspasa with a blue jay feather that the Serpent dropped during the first ceremony. The text is first written in American English, then automatically translated by GTranslate into other languages, including French.

- Thus, in the starry night of June 20, 2020
- In a cave, shrouded in utter darkness, on the northern coast of the island of Ibiza
- I drank from the cup the Acacia Magia, the thorn and its root, and saw divine visions
- The Zephyr blew upon my eyes, and they closed
- I saw a fiery storm, red and white, and in the midst, a fire
- The flame was a vehicle, illuminating the sky and its universe
- It approached me in a silent curve, and I trembled with fear
- Time stood still, the Serpent revealed itself, he was the knowledge in the light
- Then a woman appeared, dressed in an indigo blue veil, in the twilight of her expectancy
- A purple aura wound around her and two wings enveloped her
- She was the source and the delta, she called herself Maha, and spoke to me in thought North of Ibiza (Spain), June 21, 2020

- Maha was seated in the midst of green flames and she said to me
- Watercolorist, you are the painter of inner visions
