Contest entry for `f--l--A--r--k's Apophysis Challenge #14.

As promised, a Linear & Spiral only fractal with up to 6 transforms + final transform.

I was quite clueless about what to do with that kind of contest at first. Then, the idea came like a bolt out of the blue. Truthfully, I never had a true plan; I kept experimenting until I got this. And, thanks to the gradient, I managed to evoke a holy fire granting its bliss to mankind, giving a feeling of paradise. The central flame rises up to the sky, while clouds make way to the heaven's gates in a glorious ascension.
One more thing you should know about this fractal: albeit it might look quite religious, it isn't meant to be so. The freedom and bliss I long for, and that are represented here, are those of consciousness and wisdom, the main ways to gain one's own personal freedom and get closer and closer to the true meaning of life; just like that light is the light of reason and truth.

Postwork: colour adjusting, as usual.

I'll make the parameters available upon request this time, instead of posting them here.
