Here, Now, Forever

0 posted 2000-03-12 11:13 PM


If you grow tired of the platitudes of life, then listen to what I have to say.
Travel the great yellow wood.
Continue for miles upon miles, until you come upon a small clearing, where four orbs of energy eternally float.
And the snow must fall true,
From a boundless blue sky.
In the center of these orbs, you will see a circle of carefully placed stones.
Sit in the circle, and clear your mind,
And leave behind the stress that is forever at your side.
Facing north, there is a sapphire orb of wealth, in glowing colors of harmony with the ocean and sky.
And south, there is the wisdom orb, emerald green, shining eternally in a brilliant jungle glow.
Facing east, there is a deep red orb of flaring ruby abundance, this one is the orb of love.
And east, an orb of a color matching the shade of the twinkling stars, appearing to be as one itself, in a shifting and churning void of gentle white light. This orb is the orb of your fate.
Now meditate, and keep your mind clear. If your serenity rings true....Four rays of spiraling light will shoot from the very sky with a thunderclap of mystical explosion, and take you to a better place.
See for yourself.
