Book: www.undertheappletree.info Once upon a very real day in my life, having wandered for hours and hours , all afternoon and into the evening, lost in thought, full of emotion with more than a few broken dreams at my feet, I happened upon an apple tree and sat beneath it, slumped with deep dismay. I had been trying for decades to understand this life of mine and the whole of our world. Finally I gave up the inner struggle and quite simply surrendered. “There are no absolute answers” , I moaned aloud. “ I give up.” And I really did give up. But in the silence that arose all around me – there came a voice, a soft voice and it was not my own , but it spoke and I heard it within. “I am who am” , the voice whispered. “And I am who you are too… For we are one, you and I and your mind is my mind. We are connected- Forever.” I was stunned , of course but the voice simply went on. There was no stopping to reflect – not just yet. “Your mind is my mind – but my mind is ALL MINDS. My mind is time itself and the very space you inhabit. I am the Alplha and the Omega. I am this moment – always.” I waited but nothing more was said for a time. “This is all very cryptic,” I protested at last. I was not at all convinced, so I sat with head in hands- “ I cannot understand,” I uttered. The voice laughed. “You have come for a picnic, perhaps?’ A ripe apple fell from the tree - “When an apple is ripe , so it falls,” the voice stated. ‘You, too, are ripe and ready now. And if you listen , I will tell you precisely what you need to knowThe truth is – you are in paradise itself, dear one, and I Have listened to you for years… Yesterday. Dear You I see you in the garden, Head in hands. Why so glum? Why so miserable in paradise. I watched you as you left the garden. You came with your wish list to whisper to the stars. Your soul was on fire. "THIS TIME " You said, "This time, I want results". You fell asleep. THE stars twinkled … You dreamed that you were in a garden. You dreamed that you had a wish list You dreamed you had all the answers You dreamed you knew That there was a real truth You dreamed that the answers were written across the sky Clear for all to see. You dreamed that you looked at the stars You dreamed that you said, "What's the point" You dreamed that you threw the crumpled wish list in the gutter And left the garden, dejected. I have here in my hand that wish list. Awake my friend. Wishes are ALWAYS Granted.. Really all your wishes add up to one .. And here I quote you "To make sense of this place What is this life about? What is the plan? Is there even a plan.. If so who or what is The brains behind it all?" You are on the most fantastic journey And don’t even know it… yet… Really One wish Answers all of that. YES YES is the answer. YES There IS magic YES Money DOES Grow on trees YES There IS A pot of gold Not only at the end But ALL along the rainbow YES There is A super being A Santa Claus Good faery Guardian Angel YES YES YES!! Think about it How can you imagine What CANNOT exist? -IMAGINATION - Is key to creation. TO IMAGINE Effectively, IS TO CREATE To create is to give life. *********** The answers ARE WRITTEN PLAIN FOR ALL TO SEE But No one has told you where.. Ok here goes .... Life is very simple It is not complicated Not one bit. Trust me I should know!! ... I know you wonder about YOU. About me. About life. Who I am? Who you are? What is it all about and what is going on.. There is a great deal of discussion As to The “meaning” of life.. People have all sorts of theories… Life means Life ..that’s it! I WILL EXPLAIN… Ok so What exactly is this teeming fertility of everything.. called life..?? Today I will tell you. take the time. Read this ... carefully... It is a tale of enchantment wonder and delight. Every word is chosen. Every word is precious You have probably gathered by now That my name is God So that’s the introduction over!! But I want to tell you so much more.. I am as you know, the Creator Of all things. I am IN All things. I am an infinite movement A never-ending lapping on the shore The gentlest touch The strongest mind The wildest winds The softest breeze I am Breathtaking An overwhelming sight.

I am Pure love I am JOY BLISS LAUGHTER FUN ENCHANTMENT I AM A snowflake A dewdrop A daisy petal A swan A cloud A grain of sand A mountain An ocean A breeze A feather.. I am ALL that you see At it’s most perfect All that you feel At it’s most perfect All that you hear At it’s most perfect All that you smell At it’s most perfect All that you taste At it’s most perfect. A limitless source of Everything. THE ULTIMATE IN EVERYTHING Nothing exists outside of me And outside of me IS Nothing. I am silence. I am music I am space Active or passive.. I am light Shining so fast I am invisible.. I am Whatever I choose Whenever I choose.. All of this you are thinking "Well, to be honest God, None of that is new to me". But it is new to you Because up to now This was just an idea, a concept, a theory.. in your head Now I want to get real... ….. Yes It is true I am your God I am your God. The one who makes you But you are my God The one who makes me I am your God The one who gives life to Your good desires You are my God because you desire what I give life to.. you command And I obey Not the other way around. But I am here to help One hundred percent By inspiration.. By showing you clearly What will Or Will not Work.. Relax and I will explain. You are my God Because you have the power to DO as I do The power to express me and The power to express WHO YOU REALLY ARE. . We are mirror images of each other. But you do not Recognize it … yet Keep listening- This gets very clear. plus You probably, already, have a hunch that this is true.. ...... For so long now you have been seeking answers.. Questions fill your mind, sometimes, wondering what its all about. I've always promised that when you knock the door would open… But when you knock you ask for the strangest things. For so long now I've watched as you miss the answers, even tho' they are under your nose for so long I've heard you ask.. Why god? Why? When those strange things happen. And for so long now I've heard people say "Ah it must be gods will" Or It ‘s bad luck when something goes wrong.. Believe me It certainly is not MY will And “luck” Is a DEFINITE Once you know how To Use It… NOTHING BAD IS MY WILL… It Is -Strange as it may seem- Yours. Listen… Everything good that you can possibly imagine already lives in a state of anticipation eager for expression – life. For physical expression of all that is- Earth is the best place. It is a sort of melting pot , if you like. All the elements of attraction Bond perfectly here To hold matter together. But LIFE itself Is everywhere.. You have heard the expression live life to the full. But that too is just a concept. Now I am going to tell you how… You will finally see, hear, sense and know What seems to elude you ABOUT YOU ABOUT LIFE. IN six days I made all that pleased me. IT WAS AWESOME TO BEHOLD All that represented Me. It was sheer delight. Everything was PERFECTION IN DETAIL. … Flawless. YES, I saw the perfect grace of the trees The flowers Birds and animals.. Yes ,I saw how they operated according to their Individual make-up. They were perfect! but there was more.. While all of these things were radiant They had no real challenges to the spirit How does a spirit know its strength? Its beauty? Its power? What evidence could it give? These things of great awe and beauty did not fully answer. They did not fully explain to me WHO I was or what I was capable of - They radiated And reflected back an amazing beauty And serenity. They soothed, whispered, communed with the heavens and earth. We spoke and loved each other. BUT they did not test me. And I knew there was more. And the wind blew- Leaves rattled… Everything smiled All at once. I wondered if I could put ALL I had made The sun, moon, stars, heavens, earth, trees, plants, animal, minerals ,wind, rain, fire ,water, into ONE being. And so I re- “thunk”!! And a dream unfolded, Full of magic, Laughter, Joy, Love, Abundance, Courage, Power, Mystery And Music All that was within me! Suddenly All that I had made up to this, Fused! Vegetable, animal, water, mineral Stars Everything ! And there was a GREAT stirring within me Instantly it CAME- TUMBLING –POURING- GUSHING OUT and What was gestating in me Was finally born… THERE YOU WERE… BEAUTIFUL. MAGNIFICENT!! SMILING!! Standing tall and erect Your feet on the earth Your mind in the heavens. A glorious spirit In human form Basking in luminous creative substance. And I FELL IN LOVE with YOU YOU The WONDER OF YOU… ALL ENCOMPASSING YOU. THE ULTIMATE MY ULTI- MATE YOU YOU were the culmination of everything I had done to that point.. You literally were everything put together in one.. “Now- My YOU “, I said “ here is something “QUITE SPECTACULAR.. This has to be the ultimate I CAN NOT IMPROVE ON THIS. I had found the perfect code.. The perfect mode!! It has all the beauty of the tree Tall and strong- The radiance of every planet- The fragrance of every flower- The openness of every petal The freshness of every dew drop The clarity of a rain drop The might of the oceans- And the riches of the universe.. All the colours of the rainbow All the notes of the scale.. All the talents of the planets All the wisdom and secrets Of every other living thing. One who has All my attributes Powers Awareness Feelings Desires One who has my mind..” Everything I had previously made Went into you… There was no more to do And so I rested. Let this one continue in creating ideas and ideals Let this one play Here Forever If this one so wishes.. Let this one BE . I will hand it all my laws of attraction and Creation Dominion over every atom And this one can gather them together As it will, To make whatEver it wills dance for it joyfully in the heavens..’ To stoke the light of the heavenly fires Into even more beauty… And shining through this one we can create and create and create to the end of light… So that we Together can dance Down the pathway of eternity Back in time to Rest once again In our original brilliance.. Should we so desire- As silence- Peace- Space- In the heavens.. It was a dance And we were partners Giant Masters of the universe.. With planets ,stars, atoms All as playthings *********** On the seventh day I rested. Because On the seventh day, it was your turn - To create all that represented you.. It is still the Seventh day. Everything was complete . But I’m still here waiting.. Really, So far, you have created very little. You can produce SO much.. Have you forgotten? WHY? Why so little.. You OWN everything. I gave it ALL to YOU. You are an ANGEL A God. A creator. *** You ARE A Sight To Behold… Remember? Surely you remember but do not know that you know… For You Are Asleep…. You climbed into a cocoon Curled up And never came out. Have you forgotten, already? Wake up WAKE UP!! It is time… YOU Have a story to tell- A touch to deliver- A love to melt the hardest hearts. You are a glorious vision Yes YOU I don’t care WHO you think you are I don’t care if you think I could not POSSIBLY Mean you. I DO. Every cell in your body Carries life. Life is pure power. As long as you breathe It is in you Wild Rampant Virile Fertile Yearning… Harness it. MIND YOUR MIND MINE your MIND. Now there are two ways to do this And For you to understand It is essential you understand your mind… What other species has mind? You may see life or not, As your greatest gift, AS life just goes on and on. But I beg to differ I see Mind as your greatest gift. Free will. As mind determines WHAT EXACTLY you DO with life… So why do you abuse this instrument of Wonder? It is the portal thro which you can receive all information - Or deny it. It is the builder or the destroyer. It is the censor On the door of your life. Because of free will, You get to be God. Mind is your treasure.. IT CAN MAKE or ‘ BRAKE ‘ you. Just look at inspiration- Ideas- Creativity.. Where in the universe do they come from? Space? Yes! What’s in space? Life… YES! Space is far from empty.. Why would I create EMPTY space What part of me or you, could that possibly represent?? All successes begin in imagination Mine or your - “ empty space” and conclude in the mind. Question- ask yourself.. How can I, God, BE all things at one time? SIMPLE! I am experiencing I am Imagining I am Listening I am singing Smelling tasting Feeling I am the mind holding it all -here… Whatever is in my mind I’m activating And projecting… …LIKE A CHILD BLOWING A BUBBLE… You MUST understand your MIND You must USE it.. Properly.. For mind decides what will or will not have Life. And for the purposes of this chat Lets just understand life:- It is substance ,spirit ,energy, vital force- ALL of these are the same. If we took all that has life And ground it down to its essence All things would simply be the same. Dust Energy Substance You – me- the stars- animals- Everything. Picture yourself blowin’ a bubble. You’ve done this. What do you see? Can you recall the sensation of blowing? The texture of the substance? And all those colours? Mind is like” the bubble.” You will agree To make the bubble there is a substance.. That substance attaches itself to the hollow spoon And as breath fills it It grows.. If disconnected from the substance A chance light breeze can Carry it off.. Or puff! it could simply disappear without a trace. When you day dream You touch of a pure Substance which attaches itself to your dreams.. WHEN these dreams are good This substance pours into them.. This substance Is the carrier Of power . The mover The shaper of your dreams..!! All things come from it Nothing exists without it.. It sweeps All the ingredients necessary for your dreams towards you Like a giant tidal wave.. It sits FOREVER holding Everything Ready and waiting for you to use. WAITING EAGERLY FOR ACTION!! Substance comes from the source -ME- and builds. Imagine it as psychic plasma if you like.. It is everywhere- So it can bring from any where that which it needs.. Breath is spirit Which is blown into the bubble Causing it to expand Causing the dream To become form and express itself. Ideas are the images caught within the bubble .. What creates those images Thoughts.. Where do thoughts come from That’s right your mind.. Either from imagination, Or inspiration. Imagination is Me listening to you- Inspiration is you listening to me. As we are Both Gods Either way used properly is excellent. However- Do not confuse inspiration with thought … Seeds of divine inspiration bounce off you, constantly. Those you take onboard Are nurtured by the umbilical cord of spirit Which connects to you. Once the seeds are born Then they have spirit of their own. All is in my mind And my mind’s eye Is projecting it.. As I am it. I AM ME - THINKING ABOUT BEING ME. And the thought BECOMES AN IMAGE REFLECTING BACK TO ME The NATURE of WHAT I AM THINKING.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Something stirred in the heavens ,HE was agitated- he had a dream and realised that there WAS something but did not quite know what.. Now the thing something did not realise was that he was a star glowing in the night sky – A fabulous bright beaming perfect star.. Radiating light across the galaxies infinitely- He did not know that his song could be heard – forever- He did not know that his glorious scent filled the woods -the trees -the flowers-the waters.. the heavens. He was so preoccupied thinking, that he never once stopped to realise just who he was .. He only knew that there WAS something.. and it irked him incessantly. He became obsessed with this irksome nagging. HE spoke to the other stars and they did not really understand so they suggested to something that he should talk to the sun “Sun “, he said, “ I know there”s something ..how do I find it- what do I need -why am I agitated -what should I do?” “Relax” said the sun “Nothing” ,Sun reassured him –“ you need nothing… You NEED nothing..This is the answer..to realise you need nothing is to realise that you have everything . That’s all.. Remember” , , said the wise old sun , repeating himself “you need nothing..” “ I need nothing, I need nothing, I need nothing” Something repeated it all the way home.. The next morning he woke up early. Packed his bags- left a note And set out- quite determined to find nothing. ….” when you realise that then you have everything”..he heard suns words Something was deterrmined- he was going to find nothing.. And so Something started out and soon he was wandering, endlessly, endlessly - leaving no stone unturned . He was constantly searching. His mind always onto the next thing, expecting to find nothing there..or so he convinced himself.. He always found something ..but was so busy looking for nothing..that he never really had fun with the something.He scarcely looked at it. He just continued on .. dismissing the somethings as he wanted so much to discover nothing- somewhere, somehow.. Across the universe , he thrundled, in search of nothing. One day on his travels Something came to a bridge .. queues of stars were waiting in a flurry of chatter an excitement on the edge- Waiting in line to leap excitedly over the side… “What’s happening?” enquired something . “whats going on?’ “Oh we are joining with life”, they said.. Somethings heart began to tremble. He sensed from their joy and frolics that this was something he really could enjoy An inner voice of excitement said” YES! YES!!” Something climbed up onto the wall of the bridge ..many others were there and while some hesitated others leaped wildly with an incredible resounding wheeeeeeee “Oh what fun” ..said something And laughed and played, cajoled and teased ,as good as, if not better than the others. Finally, they said “come on something it’s your turn..” “Leap! “they told him “Leap and you will fly..”Something was hesitant “ but’ but….” “To where shall I le ap “’asked something “Where am I going?” They pointed to still deep waters way below the bridge.. Many stars all around were leaping The air was filled with laughter and excitement, splashes and delight.. As they neared the waters Geysers of spray rose to the heavens and gushed out splashing everyone and everything in radiant drops of pure living waters..adding to the fun and laughter! “Where is everyone going ?”asked something “What are they doing..” “Why ,They are realising their wishes ,” they said..” You bring your wish to the edge, jump , go thro the waters and it becomes...” ”Have you a wish ?” “O yes!” said something ,eagerly. “Then climb up and jump And remember Make sure and go thro the water..” “Where else would I possibly go.” thought something.. “If you jump surely its straight thro all the way..” “That is the well of life”, they told him. “once you jump in and follow it, it showers the universe with life ..and lands as wishes everywhere, for everyone ..yes and opens doorways of more and more magical life” “As wishes?’ asked something. “Yes but you have to jump in otherwise it will not happen”… and so one by one they leaped Down into the waters. Something stood and watched, intrigued as the fire work display of spray danced amd cascaded all around. “What exactly is down there?’ “O I dunno”, one star said” what it is exactly but I do know if you follow it you will have your wish..” “Have my wish” , Something’s heart missed a beat- he was joyful And so he jumped Something found himself spining, spiralling, floating, drifting. It all seemed to have slowed down and it seemed like an age since the jump.. But yet, the waters of life were still there and yes ,he was still on target.. As he drifted he saw stars pass him out and splash .He mazed at their colours, their intense focus, their bliss ,their determination, their joy.. He could read their wishes and his heart beat in anticipation of joy and fulfillment for them.. Something continued to float.. And then a thought struck him.. Their wishes were for things .. Dreams- hopes –plans- events..places, stuff, people, emotions, but He wanted to find nothing..! And began to think that the waters of life would not give him this.. Life was not nothing!! It was something else and not what he had expected.. And his mind began to race .. How could he go with this.. He needed control. He needed to stop He needed to force his way towards nothing Not towards this something.. After all it only granted wishes of something Not real wishes of nothing.. I should strive for nothing not this something..” And so he thought and he thought.. And it made no sense.. Something said to himself” I am looking for nothing They are all looking for something – wishes ! Bah..Don’t they know they need to find nothing, first Not something. So something cannot possibly give me my wish.. I have to find it myself.. This is silly” Another star flew past ..”come on get your wish from the waters of life.. Dive in join with the waters.. Come on something why have you stopped orbitting?” “Oh, have I ?”, said something “I hadn’t noticed Oh even so I will pause here a while and think this over..there is no hurry an besides its cosy here and I don’t have to bother much about anything.. What if all of these stars were crazy anyway- what if you went in there and it was not like out here, it was after all ,quite lazy here ..just drifting floating aimlessly..” And so he argued to himself for a year and a day..why would he bother now it seemed like too much effort to push thro the waters surface and get splashed… and so he remained suspened over the waters edge..debating whether to go in or not .”.will ?I wont I? will I? wont i..” Something slept- too tired now to make up his mind- he was after all exhausted . ”It IS such an ordeal trying to make up one’s mind ,”he argued.. Days past, then weeks, then years.. Something had been out of his own orbit now for SO long, that he lost contact with his source and lacked it’s light. He was dishevelled, dank and lustreless. He had been repeating the same actions for so long that after a while he forgot and it just became automatic..he was lifeless, robotic, dull. In the bleakness Strange creatures began to grow on his surface, which was now a solidified mass of density, impenetrable by brightness, sound or feeling. Sometimes he peeped out from under his overgrown unkempt facade and saw new stars make their way to the waters. On seeing him some stopped. His lazy ways brushed off them and pretty soon they joined him , accepting his ways and stayed suspended, too.Some , because they lost sight of the waters, rather believing that somethings ugly mass to be it.. to be reality- Others because it was an easy mindless option But some choose to go by , regardless. “Well how do you do?” asked a young star of something one day ..she had stopped by as she was curious about this ugly mass. She felt it was odd out there alone.” It looks strange too.” she thought and felt compelled to check it out..it just did not seem quite right and there was a sad emptiness about it. She knew it needed light and it needed it urgently . She landed and decided to stay a while.She met with something and decided she would shine light on him to make him glow again.. Sometimes she found it very tiring and she needed to play with the passing stars to get glow from them to keep hers alive..AND also she played wit the spray as it splashed by .. One day as she sat day dreaming looking at the splashing she said to something “ why do you choose to just hover above the waters of life.. Why are you not stirred by the splashing? are you not curious as to what’s there..?” “That’s all in your head”, he said.. “Maybe” , she retorted, but the fact is, it IS in my head and because it is IN my head it exists..” He loooked at her and huffed. He was Disgruntled. “Something- Did you never have a dream ? Were you ALWAYS this grumpy? you are so surly sometimes and so boring..” “Boring!! what do you mean .. I stay here. I do not wander or jump into the waters because it is safe here..” “SAFE!! Safe? “she said but look what is growing on you .. Horrible yucky things They have no color and you don’t smell too good You don’t glow and you feel cold.. You have no song No music No pretty colours.. and I am fed up here..” Something thrundled off , prattling to himself. Little star continued to play with the splashes.. Some fell on something.. “Something?” little star asked “Huh?” he grunted “Something- did you never- ever have a dream..?” Something told her how he always believed there was something but could no longer remember much about it.. He just rembered that the sun told him he needed to do something but he could not even remember what that was now. “Oh, something!” little star giggled- “ He just meant to stop looking … and to start looking?” “ Stop and Start!! Why, now YOU are making as much sense as God” , he frantically squeaked… “I dunno”, little star said” but I do know I’m off out of here. To follow my dream...are you coming or not..? I’ m off to jump in the waters “ “Why ?,” asked something.” What is there ..that is not here? Whats in the waters? What is so special ?|” “Nothing, ” shrugged little star.”.nothing - Nothing”, sang little star over and over as she leaped over a mangled tuft of something unidentifiable..and hopscotched down the mossy path… “NOTHING!” gasped something finally recalling echoes of an old excitement long forgotten.. “YUP! NOTHING.” she repeated as she blew a time clock from a dandelion- ” but it IS life and SO it makes EVERYTHING..” “How can that be?”,sqeaked Something. “Because once you realise that you NEED nothing you realise everything.. there is no lack..there is no NEED Because you cannot have one without the other.. But you keep “Wanting” so you keep getting want.. Because you see nothing as something.. And something as nothing. You never see or feel just what IS”. Something began to glow and little star was amazed at how upright and bright he looked for the first time.. “Look at the waters of life between these dandelion seeds “,she said. “ Watch- I blow they scatter- I tell the nothing space to bring them together and it does.. So nothing is everything.. Now you try..” And thus they sat all that evening blowin seeds and remaking them.. The next day there was such a splash that the droplets are still falling.. and the endless ripples can still be seen and felt.. Something realised he was not one lone sum number but the sum of all numbers.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am all numbers Contained within the circle 0 As I move I create a downward and outward spiral 9 Which reproduces itself As it spirals Down and down 9 9 9 I awoke one morning and made a sound.. The sound went on an on and on until I heard it centuries later echoing alive and well As it went out it made a wave And in the centre of the wave stood flames 7 in all. To the left went the flames To the right went the flames Each flame had seven colours Each colour had seven songs. Each color stood apart and shone And was so bright it became an angel... 7 in all. these Angels played and danced ,frolicked and laughed. Each angel grew a flower- And flew from left to right- North and South with its flower. And each flower shed petals 7x 7. each petal shed seeds. each seed grew into a flower. and each flower grew into an angel. growing more flowers and more Soon they were everywhere... Spreading east to west north to south. Each carrying seven colours- And singing seven songs. Each angel played with sound and played with color, Producing incredible artwork... They mixed and matched the colours. And mixed and matched the sounds. And the feeling was one of awesomeness. They painted skies, sunsets ,rainbows. They painted gold ,silver ,copper. They painted sun , moon and stars, They painted fields, bluebirds, butterflies They painted snow, frogs and daisies They painted and painted… And as they painted joy from their endeavours filled the atmospheres And It was a glorious sound! The stars twinkled in harmony The Queen moon beamed maternally. The short grasses giggled - And the long lush leaves swayed in rhythm. Everything looked on and smiled. Everything looked on and radiated. Everything looked on - in love - One glorious day The angels had a meeting... Each spoke of his adventure and saw what they had done. And it was good. They were all impressed. Each sat in the clear.ing- Under the apple tree Each held their sacred gifts in their hand. Each discussed its work and was well pleased but Each agreed that there was more… And as each angel displayed its work We realised It was ALL one and the same A flower A tree A raindrop A bluebird A rabbit A Cloud A mountain All had the same content All was the same substance- Just different variations… different combinations. And so we said let's put ALL our ideas together in ONE. We did. We looked-we watched- we focused And out of the furnace you came- In a blaze of intense light- Carrying the flame. Smiling. Radiant. Dancing. Awesome. well Look at your make up.. You have 7 centres known as glands.. these glands are like planets. So You have a sun moon And stars.. 7 planets of your body ------------------------------------------------------------------ In the beginning there was a dream.. and the dream dreamed of expressing itself in the most perfect flawless way possible.. It yearned and longed for this expression.. So it closed its eyes … and dreamed. And it dreamed of the most beautiful flower… And if for a moment you would just close your eyes and imagine your most favourite flower in your minds eye… or sense, smell, touch or connect with it in any way possible… See the stem- delicate yet strong.. the symmetry of the petals.. the amazing colour scheme.. the technology of making it and its truly amazing functions.. the intelligence ..the beauty.. the sheer exquisiteness and perfection of it… Feel its softness the velvet touch of its tender petals the gentleness. Smell it Is that not the purest perfume? The sweetest taste? You would really have to admit that there is nothing more beautifully expressed.. That it is truly truly awesome. ............... Then the dream desired to express itself more and more And it created the trees, the stars, the seas, the sky the clouds.. And all of these were equally as beautiful and a perfect flawless expression of the dream… And these in turn could continue with the process of creating. Like the flowers create the pollen for the bees and the trees create the oxygen and the oxygen helps you breathe and so on and on and on . And everything was in complete harmony with the expression of the spirit.. One was a mirror image of the others clear and pure desires AND The dream desired to express itself even more..!! And it created a HUMAN BEING.. Now Human comes from the Latin Homo Sapiens...which means Wise Man . ..so the dream created WISE MAN BEING ..And he too was perfect and flawless.. A perfect expression of the dream. And all he had to DO was to BE.JUST BE.. Nothing else.. Because to BE Manifests ALL. But somewhere along the line the wise man being got the idea or the notion or THOUGHT that he KNEW better and became a not so wise man knowing. .And NOW instead of wise man being or homo sapiens being ..we have homo crappy ends knowing And he stopped the being of all things by thinking about being ..and he uncreated and left the dream.. and walked outside of it looking at wars and dis- ease and un- rest and dis- comfort and un- happiness.. He did not fall He did not get evicted or banished He just chose to step out into Neither man's nor God's land.. ............................... Dearest You, You are already perfect. Let NO-ONE Tell you or persuade you of anything less. I made you! I know. You need nothing added nothing taken away. I made you in my Image and my likeness. Fun. Substantial Powerful Glorious Awesome Intelligent Loving Creative Abundant. Tender Inspiring Sensitive Feeling Attentive Loyal Caring INVINCIBLE. WHOLE. PURE SACRED. DIVINE.. ADORABLE. IMAGINATIVE. CREATIVE. COURAGEOUS. -PEFECT- My equal In Every way I am writing today To Enable you to FINALLY See this. But first let me tell you The STORY OF FIRST MAN I sat in my garden and saw that I was perfect I breathed deeply and out before as though under a microscope stood all the particles of my perfection like swirling specks of dust in infinite sunbeams.. Every minute detail in exquisite motion as a universe unto itself I examined each in detail and watched as particles attracted to each other came and bonded to create even more beauty Some became seas Some became mountains skies winds trees animals All of these made themselves from me and stood before me and said look Are we not awesome to behold And I was truly honored that all of this before me was within me But yet there was still more I slept again And there he stood before me The embodiment of all my particles He was awesome He was amazing He was perfect I taught him to do as I did to sleep to breathe and see all the particles that made me and all the particles that made him out before him and to watch as he called particles together to create whatever he wanted. He did. He fashioned more of everything and had ingenious ideas and continued expanding the possibilities.. He saw infinite possibilities in a speck of dust.. He stood as though in a kaleidescope of magic dust.. He lay in the garden Hibiscus and Eglantine swayed in the breeze. White hawthorn blossoms stood noble against the faint skyline. The proud full moon cast an ethereal light on contented sleepy toads..
