At some point in 1995 I enrolled in a Psychic Development program offered by one of the community centers in my area. The teacher of that program was Miria Cook. In the classroom I met a very colorful bunch. Some were almost pros, some not so much. I did not pretend to be someone I was not, so, I was a beginner. After a while Miria “spotted” something in my personality that according to her was unique. Aren’t we all?
After training ended, she invited a few students to continue group study at her place. Dynamics in the group are different than when one works alone. We had some interesting sessions and experiences. What was beneficial for me that she provided great list of materials to study further. No, we did not do witchcraft and spells or potions, and thank god it was not religious oriented.
It was a social gathering for people with similar interests sharing their experiences. I was the odd one out in this group, as I refused to follow anything blindly and would question thing a lot, and I ended further involvement after few weeks. Before I did that though, we had a session on getting our life gifts from the Cave of Creation. At the time I didn’t know that something like that existed. What followed however, proved to me it’s existence and was the first of many explorations thereafter.
After a brief meditation we were asked to find, and then enter the Cave. Each one of us was asked to pick an item which was the most appealing to us. Once the meditation ended, we shared what type of item we picked. All subjects or items in the physical world have archetype or symbolic meanings. For example, book can mean knowledge, learn or educate, or teacher. I think you get the idea.
Now was the time for me to present my item. Not realizing that I had entered the cave, I had no idea how to explain mine because there were so many parts to it. So, here is what happened in my case. I was in some place that was surrounded with many dark purple-red-brownish veils and I felt a bit claustrophobic. I tried to move all these veils out of my path and get out. After a second or two I saw an unlit tea candle in front of me on small end table. In few moments that candle disappeared, and again I had to keep moving veils out of my way as I proceeded forward.
After a while I saw six small unlit tea candles on a plate in front of me sitting on a small table. Those too vanished shortly. I kept moving forward, pushing aside those ever-present veils more and more. Suddenly I see a man sitting in front of me in a meditative pose gazing into distance silently. He appeared to me to be dressed in an old fashion manner like philosophers depicted in old drawings. He had an old fashion unusual hat on his head that kind that mystic men were wearing in the past. Right above his third eye on that hat was a blueish-purple or dark red stone encrusted in silver or gold.
After a while he looked up and then past me on my left. With his change of glance, a lantern came floating in and stopped in front of my face. The lantern, like the candles were unlit, it was however to me a work of antique art, those beautiful old fashion designs.
After I finished explaining my experience, I heard either my inner mind or someone in the group quietly whisper, “you need to light them all up”.
Ha! After more than twenty years I remember this event as if it happened yesterday. And now I understand it’s meaning. Somehow, I need to uncover the truth (pushing through those veils) and shed a light (unlit candles) on those found truths. It’s overwhelming for me because it’s a big and very important job with many obstacles in front of me. To make things harder I am doing this alone. In addition to this take-away there are more layers of personal meaning, that I will choose not to disclose.
Paranormal events have impacted my whole life. To me it’s become nothing special, it just is. Many times, I am surprised that most people don’t have some sort of ability in this field or perhaps, they just don’t know they have. We all have these abilities without any exception, including people with mental disabilities. Please do remember this chapter while reading this book or blog post.
My main “job” with this writing as well with other form of communication, is to remove veils of secrecy for you, so you can understand better the meaning for our existence. It’s up to your discretion if this material is helpful or not. For many it is very essential.
Recently I did receive another element to help me with this work and that is green basil. For a while I did not know what to do with that, or how to use this element. After a research I do understand its meaning. It is like a flavoring element to my writings in such a way that it is readable for everyone without prejudice towards any dogma either political or religious.
