On April 30th, 2006, my life changed drastically in a matter of seconds. Though what occurred was only a subtle shift from the life I had known up until that moment, something was born that could neither be ignored nor forgotten. I began a correspondence with another being that was neither visible nor audible to the naked senses. This was not a long distance pen pal, contacting me through the US Postal Service, nor an internet blog partner with instant messenger access. The correspondence took place in my office on the screen of a laptop computer, and I was the only physical person present.
At first I thought it to be my imagination, but I humored myself by responding to an apparently separate voice through the sentences of what was intended to be a simple journal entry. When the subject seemed to get away from me, and fantastic information about my family history I had never considered before was being revealed at my finger tips, I raised my head and hands, and began to become aware that I was not writing this alone.
The book begins by exploring what we are as humans on this Earth, our purpose, and the ways in which we will learn to apply these aspects of the self. The concept of Oneness is elaborately detailed through glimpses of my personal experience, and a general case study of global society as a whole. We grappled with reincarnation, and possible alternatives, predetermination and free will, and the concept of Christ Consciousness.
After I had established that there really was something unusual occurring for me, and many beliefs I had previously, were turned on end, I decided to come back to the issue that caused me to sit down to write in the first place. I needed to know what was reality, and what was misleading me from knowing reality.
“(This begins with my voice) …but I do not see this world as something I choose to identify myself with. What I mean is the fear, the hatred, the callous disregard for the fellow human being and for the Earth and her natural resources. I do not choose this! I desire a world where people come from integrity, respect for all life, tolerance and love. Now if this is what I choose to see, how do I get my vision to square with what my eyes are seeing?
Good question. You get it to do so by choosing it to be. Be the last four things you just rattled off, integrity, respect, tolerance, and love, and soon your vision and eyesight shall merge as one. To see Oneness, be Oneness.”
As in all conversations, this one took off in multiple directions, but it carries a cohesiveness that is something I know I could never fabricate alone. Finally I was lead to an understanding of my initial quandary, but I refused to let go of the conversation then and there.
Throughout the pages that followed, I was given insight about the power and weaknesses of our five senses. I learned how they are manipulated to control us, and how we can take that control back. The information expanded to an in depth study of the chakra system, prana, the kundalini, and powerful aspects of manna, which is the physical stuff of life. These pages are filled with intriguing exercises, meditations, and the wisdom of a bird’s eye view on the absurdities of human behavior.
With a pinpointed perspective on the senses and chakras, I came to a better understanding of what it means to cast the seeds of life so to speak. I learned that the power of words as we use them will reap for us a harvest in the future. That harvest could be one of joyful living or despair, and what determined such was the awareness or lack thereof, which we bring to our conversations, and day-to-day activities.
This book reveals the multifaceted jewel of the mundane, and offers a new hope for reverence and wonder at all that life hands us. In the end, I am left with a kiss, and given tremendous insight on something seemingly so common as the act of kissing and how it reveals the secret to our liberation from the fear that has kept us from knowing our greatest truth.
