Ithacan does Travel

I was sitting on the bank of a cascading stream, watching the earth move. The water didn’t move and it was some time before I realized that the clouds didn’t move but it was the earth beneath me. All day long I sensed the trees breathing and even in the town I saw the buildings swell and then grow thin as if taking a breath. I did not blink and my chest was not expanding, as it should. I was not dead, only discovering the world around me.

I was not on LSD but the tracers that were occurring could be explained as such and I did watch several walls expand and contract, but this is not about such nonsensical things nor is this about avocation for the use of drugs. They only bring confusion and unless your culture has training in such uses, they are not recommended. This is about the expansion of awareness and growth of the human soul. My growth and my soul. Not since I left Zion has something so wonderful occurred for me. Zion was a long time ago and in a place far from the reaches that I reside now. One day again when death takes the vehicle that is my flesh, I will go back to Zion again and I know there will be others like me waiting. I am not your average human, but I am of flesh, emotion, and suffering. There are times when the trials have ended and the testing is done, and only then I am reborn. Today is one of those days, when all is still and I can focus into the beyond. It has been a very long time since I have traveled the astral plane for the sake of traveling. Usually it has been for self-defense and to remind lesser beings of the beyond.

By lesser beings I mean to say not through arrogance but in terms of their state of development. I may or may not go into this subject later, but for now just accept that not all humans are equal, and some have abilities well beyond explanation. There are times when ego can get the best of my training, but I strive everyday to be humble. Like the fox that lives in the forest, I survive by blending into my surroundings. Everyday there are others, who like me, remain anonymous, and still others who would flaunt their gifts. I have met some who trade their gifts for money and ego, and still some, who believe in themselves, but neither maintains a code of ethics nor have had any initiation. At one time I found them appalling, but have grown to realize that it is not for me to judge nor examine their motives, only except them into the world that is our training ground for the beyond. Some would say that there is no such thing as testing, nor does the creator want anything from us. For myself I would agree to some extent that “The Only Thing That Is” would not need anything from us, but belief, and for us to grow beyond our human self. Yet so much has been handed down through generation after generation of the trials and tribulation of human experience that I cannot dismiss the notions of training and testing in the world within our world. At some point the training I speak of is not only to develop, but also eventually to master beyond the necessity for training. It is a state for which only a few may attain awareness within the perfection of life for their life. Look into the eyes of a deer and see your soul reflected upon yourself. Come to understand and have the ability to see a blade of grass grow and you will know the truth I speak.

These are not moments for riddles. I have been waiting for this day, a day of hope and deliverance from the darkness that has shadowed my journey for so long. So much rain, and only now do the suns’ rays’ beckon as I sit moving within the earth.

Our life’s work is never done, and so many have tried to explain the levels of initiation, and still others work within the confines of another’s guide. Silver Raven has come from the outer limits to enlighten others to the inner workings, and I would attempt to do the same only my story would not allow me such ease of explanation. I am Ithacan Stardust, and these are my travels.
