AnOddBox – The Great Debate…

AnOddBox – The Great Debate…

Many years ago I read a book called Star Song. I will not go in to details about the book, but there was a part in the book that told how the elves (LOR kind of elves) traveled through space by means of harmonics. The center elf.., I could not pronounce the name very well so I called her Feyh…, was the center cord which held the integrity of the other notes (other elves)…

Many years ago I had a dream… A very vivid dream, in which I was a voice talking with the voice of God on top of a mound overlooking a green meadow with a small pond and hundreds of leaves dancing in the wind… Walking along the edge of the pond was a tall girl with curly, sandy blonde hair, wearing a white dress with spring flowers. Not dark of hair… Not petit… She was not a girl I would have said was my “type”… God was showing me my Feyh…

I met Mary years after this dream and literally found the woman God had shown me… And I had come to know why… Mary’s middle name is Grace… “Divine gift”… I always ask, what is the first thing you must do if God were to give you a gift…? Thank God…? You must do something before that… Take the gift…? You must do something before that… What then…? You must see the gift... No, God did not give me the divine gift of Mary... Mary is a congruence of character... Mary is divine gift given to life... The gift God gave to me..., Is the gift of seeing her...

I trust Mary’s wisdom more than any person I have ever met… Mary continues to prompt me to write my book, as she believes my thoughts have merit. I however, am apprehensive with debate… One of the most somber experiences I have had in my life is when I stood in the bookstore feeling lost and so very alone… As the books were silent to me I had an awareness that books are written for the common… We do not write books for the outlier… The textbooks I read in school are written for the common… We do not study/research the outlier… From these books I was taught in school as common…, to be common… We do not teach the outlier… Of course we focus on the common… If we did not have common, who then would buy the books…? Who then would read the books…? Who then would we study to write the textbooks…? Who then would we teach what is common…? Oh, Mary… Why would anyone read what I have to say…?

I laugh at her retort as she simply shakes her head and states.., I do not care..! You owe it to life to get it out there…

So what would anything I say do for life...?

I have an abstract vision of a moment in history… A teacher speaks to his students.., I will reveal to you two things… First.., I will walk among us all… Second.., You walk with me…

The teacher walked from place to place and walked among us all, but even as the students followed…, The teacher walked alone… In his end a blank parchment falls from the teacher to the ground… He states one last time…, I will walk among us all… You will walk with me…

The followers take the parchment and write upon it the words of the teacher… The parchment is sent around the world with the instructions to read what is revealed by the teacher… Thousands of years we read the parchment of teacher’s words… We follow the parchment… Yet the teacher still walks among us all… Alone…, as none walk with him…

When I sit to write I find myself lost, for what could I write that is something new… something living…, upon a blank parchment…? I laugh as I recall the books about the secrets of the Stock Market…, the secrets about Flipping houses…, secrets about getting rich… It would seem to be a no brainer that if it is in a book…, it is no longer a secret… I recall the books that revealed the tricks to win friends… Tricks to influence… Tricks to lead… There was an anecdote I once heard about a person who claimed that for $1 he could show you how to be a millionaire… Simple… If you tell a million people to give you a dollar to reveal to them how to be a millionaire you will have a million dollars… Thus you will be a millionaire… Will what I write reveal secrets…? Will what I write simply teach tricks…?

In my sessions I often say…, I am not a monk on a mountain… Yet…! My predominate virtue is Humanities… Humanities is where I feel Vitality (life energy)… I seek to walk with the teacher… I seek to walk among us all… I practice walking with the teacher… I practice walking among us all… The walk has just begun and this is the walk I wish to write about… Such a walk however…, Is not common… Thus I again debate… Who would read what I have to say…?

AnOddBox topic: Can we write about how we live… Or can we only write about how we lived…? It is my great debate…

I encourage you to reply…
