A beautiful story about ALL of us

The Ancient One
by Bearwalker

---------------------------------------------

Ancient One sat in the shade of his tree in front of his cave. Red People came to him and he said to Red People, "Tell me your vision."

And Red People answered, "The elders have told us to pray in this manner, and that manner, and it is important that only we pray as we have been taught for this has been handed down to us by the elders."

"Hmmmm," said the Ancient One.

Then Black People came to him and he said to Black People, "Tell me your vision."

And Black People answered, "Our mothers have said to go to this building and that building and pray in this manner and that manner. And our fathers have said to bow in this manner and that manner when we pray. And it is important that we do only this when we pray."

"Hmmmm," said the Ancient One.

Then Yellow People came to him and he said to Yellow People, "Tell me your vision."

And Yellow People answered, "Our teachers have told us to sit in this manner and that manner and to say this thing and that thing when we pray. And it is important that we do only this when we pray."

"Hmmmm," said the Ancient One.

Then White People came to him and he said to White People, "Tell me your vision."

And White People answered, "Our Book has told us to pray in this way and that way and to do this thing and that thing, and it is very important that we do this when we pray."

"Hmmmm," said the Ancient One.

Then Ancient One spoke to the Earth and said, "Have you given the people a vision?" And the Earth said, "Yes, a special gift for each one, but the people were so busy speaking and arguing about which way is right they could not see the gift I gave each one of them." And the Ancient One asked same question of Water and Fire and Air and got the same answer. Then Ancient One asked Animal, and Bird, and Insect, and Tree, and Flower, and Sky, and Moon, and Sun, and Stars, and all of the other Spirits and each told him the same.

Ancient One thought this was very sad. He called Red People, Black People, Yellow People, and White People to him and said to them. "The ways taught to you by your Elders, and your Mothers and Fathers, and Teachers, and Books are sacred. It is good that you respect those ways, for they are the ways of your ancestors. But the ancestors no longer walk on the Face of the Earth Mother. You have forgotten your own Vision. Your Vision is right for you but no one else. Now each of you must pray for your own Visions, and be still enough to see them, so you can follow the way of the heart. It is a hard way. It is a good way.

Love,

I play the guitar too though it has been many years. Beautiful instrument. As for the correlation between music and sound, there is a condition called synesthesia in which musicians hear notes and colours at the same time. This us usually coupled with relative or abosolute perfect pitch. I have that condition (synesthesia) and both types of perfect pitch. It is also the sames with words and their colours, and even a person's tone of voice.

This extreme sensitivity points to the idea of the inner senses. The 5 physical senses that we have are supposedly split in the mind but the 5 inner ones are in reality simply one sense altogether. To be able to access this and see the world in one sense is part of holistic thinking and intuition.

Everyone has this ability. It just needs to be developed in the right way. Even as you are reading my words, already the sense of sight and the sense of hearing are acting as one. For those who are more imaginative, reading poetry, novels, movies etc. more perceptions come into play.

The energy signature of a person's words too . . . like the ones on this forum. You can always tell who is dripping with negativity even if it is the most polite statement. And you can tell who is not even with the most vicious ones. There are some on this forum who are sensitive enough to get a glimpse of the real energy.

The colour even extends to someone's touch. When someone you love touches you, you should be able to see a colour. When someone whom you dislike touches you, the feeling is icky because the colour is wrong, even though you might not be able to perceive exactly what it is.

The colours of the notes are really colours that you see. C really is red, E really is E. However, these colours have a light behind them that shows the difference between the ones from the non-material realm and the material realm. It is a fascinating subject, one that I am getting to know myself.

The most ultimate composition . . . is when the colours are manifest and when they also all mix together in perfect harmony: white. So the most beautiful pieces are both white and perfectly balanced in whatever colour combination comes about.

The music that is eternal also has one more characteristic. The blending is important because it must not have any friction. In the material realm, perpetual motion is not possible because of the presence of friction. If the state can be achieved that there is not one iota of tension, then eternity has been accessed.

Long live Brahms, one of my favourites! For examples of dead music with no colour, listen to Schoenberg (German composer), John Cage (American) and some others.

It is to my great dismay that university composition faculties now force young composers to write in the colourless way. This does not bode well.

Love,

For those who seek eternal life, please consider these parting words carefully.

I am leaving Linda Land. It was sad to see Meili leave and sadder that her words are gone as well. Meili has the blood of Native Americans. She has the love for The People, ALL people. Her generosity and kindness is Godly. She is incapable of holding a grudge, and thus feels the pain of attacks and wrongs done to her much more accutely than others, including myself.

Meili was the first cheek that was slapped. I am the other one. By leaving, I am submitting to the brutal attacks. But Meili and I have decided to pray for those who were malicious to us and forgive them, because these are the teachings we have been given by the Master. Our teaching is Love, Compassion, Forgiveness, Astro-Traveling, Multi-Dimensional Realities and Immortality. Topics that would seem to interest many here. I know my Master is immortal and has the ability to exist in multi-dimensions at will. He was given the water of life eternal by Khidr (Khizr) and Moses (PBUH) a millennia ago. He spent many years with Hezrat Molana (Rumi) and Shams e Tabrizi. My Master is also a Friend of Thomas, Disciple of Jesus The Christ (PBUH) and a Friend of Linda Goodman (may her memory be sanctified). To have eternal life, one must have a new physical body that is compatible with both earthly and spiritual/unseen domains. To travel through multi-dimensional time and space (or be several places at one time) you must exist like a pocket of air in the ocean that originates in the depths and, as it moves upward, manifests as numerous bubbles nearer to the surface.

We said that the Master lives in Iran (Persia). That is only the origin, not the Reality. For the Man of Peace is where he wishes to be and when he wishes to be. This can sometimes be described as a physical location but most times cannot be described at all.

All these teachings were available to any who were seeking (like Randall). No cost, no cult, no contact...ccc, all free!!! Just Teaching and sharing offered to people who had asked questions for many years. Remember the story I posted about the group who invited God to dinner and he came as a begger? None of the hosts recognized the guest.

I am leaving you with this thought. Since open heart surgery, Meili spends alot of time with me at my music school. Consequently we use the same computer as many others (students). Furthermore, there are four or five people in this group who know us personally and tried to tell you that we are different people but no one listened. But these things are not important. In fact, I don't mind being called Meili, it is an honor for me and I aspire to her ability to forgive. So, my lesson is to forgive all who attacked us and offer them my love and prayers in place of negativity.

My Master teaches us to love all people since all people are a reflection of God and hatred has no place in our heart. In the fourth dimension where he exists, these teachings are clear, without the multiplicity confusing the Reality of unity. There is only One Truth, but as many souls as there is on earth, there are that many paths to God.

Love to you all and I ask for your forgiveness for any offenses. I present my cheek to you to do as you will with no comment

Sh!

I think one's initial reaction...their immediate reaction to stimuli is the honest reaction, usually the right reaction and refreshing too.

When I say reaction, I'm talking about anger, horror, sorrow, outrage, etc. I'm not talking about the "action" which should follow.

Agreed, we sometimes over analyze and fail to take any action...for a variety of reasons, societal or peer pressure. But I would go further and say a proper analysis includes the "what to do"....action. Without the action, it's just an academic exercise set off by an emotional response and it comes to nothing.

Well, I can't imagine why I would remind you of your old boss or how I helped save you from becoming a flaming liberal

I can't agree that opinions are necessarily untrustworthy. Those based on invalid information surely are but those well reasoned and based on fact are handy and unlikely to change. I wouldn't call that dogmatic, just logical and reasonable.
