the most enlightening experience of my life

#1057522 - 11/16/02 02:24 AM (21 years, 5 months ago)

sorry i myself cannot stand reading long posts, but this is just a very special experience that happened to me tonight that if you feel like reading :smile:

..happened tonight. i don't know where to start.

i hung out with some old friends i haven't hung out with since the first few weeks of college; your typical layed back pot smoking hippies (they are the majority here in Flag). I wanted to get away from the people i've been hanging out with (tweakers.), so when my friend from work mentioned going to their place, i decided to come along.
the scene was basically a hippie kickback with a few kegs with my friends i hadn't seen forever, so i went all twacked, had a nice conversasion with my old kinda guy i was dating, and chilled. All of a sudden, a wise man entered, and read my friends palm. Compationately he told my friend about himself and i requested to be next. About a half hour later we went outside to get some fresh air and have a cigarette and he read my hand.

I could never find the words to express this in the way my mind would like to, but this man's beauty, wisdom, knowledge, and psychic ability was both intriguing and miraculous, and forever my short conversation with him will change some of my views.

He read my hand, the fingers, the lines, the way my hand set, and needless to say he nailed everything, including some extremely personal things that left me dumfounded. He told me how i percieve my future (and yeah, he was 100% correct) and the way my future actually will be. He inspired me to quit what i've been doing simply by looking at my palm. He gave no advice, but the things he said broke me out of my low self esteem and really helped me to feel better about myself.

In the process of him reading my palm, amazed as i was i asked how i could get a hold of him to thank him and hear more of what he had to say.
He was the type that you immediately felt like you had known your whole life and anyone could open up to.
"do you have an email?"
"no"
"how about an adress or telephone number?"
"i spend most of my time in the nature and have never payed a bill in my life. I travel all over the world and visit as many places as possible and been doing so over the past 15 years"
I listen contentedly as he speaks to me and a few others about the beautys, flaws, and hopes for our universe, putting everything as eloquently as one could put it. His enthusiasm, peacefulness, and wisdom was enough to overpower anyone and put anyone at ease with his stellar personality. He had no flaws. He listened, he spoke with truth, and discussed all sorts of things from chakras/auras, to how every human is a gift and completely amazing.

Someone that has the ability to restore faith to even the most insecure, shy person (not me, but he couldve, no doubt) and give light to all that are lost and even those wanting answers, or reasons to the baffling problems most humans face, is someone that is literally, out of this world. He was more than a wise man, he was as some sort of diety or such.

i also could understand so much of what he was saying about living and spending time in teh nature because i myself am a naturualist, and my love and enthusiam for the outdoors is endless. Being out of a structured society and into the natural world where creatures follow their instincts following a healthy ecosystem is a whole lot more than sitting by a fire and sleeping in a tent. I went on a 3 month wilderness course (backpacking thru the canyons, horsepacking in the red desert, rock climbing and kayaking) last year and a few years before that had done a month backpacking course in colorado.

I feel so blessed to have met this wise man/diety who called himself thunderfire. It was so much more than i could ever put in words. He described and explained rainbows and clouds, the whole sky. Love and children, and the miracle of birth and death. I listened with awe (as did everyone else who was around) and couldn't even take in all the truth he spoke. All his experience was gained through traveling and talking to many many people. He discussed along the lines of how all humans are perfect but the minds poison the body sometimes. He talked about how good it was to just smile. You could tell he had probably the same reactions i did from so many others. There was no cheese, no fakeness, just wholesome love and compassion.

I will never forget this.
if you got through this post, thanks for listening to me.
<3
:grin:

and i just read thru this post and realize how meaningless it is to anyone who reads it. if you think its lame i understand because i can't put it into words..i wish to anything i could.

Tomorrow theres a drum circle in the woods in Sedona i might be going to, he said he'd be there. I really hope to see him again.

he knew that i know where i'm going right now and that i didn't need advice. He did tell me what i thought, its just a phase and i'll get out of the rut. He released a lot of anxiety i had concerning what direction i was going in life and told me i'd be fine. :smile:

Now him saying that, i strongly feel i'll make it out alive :smile:

--------------------

Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience.
It isn't more complicated than that.
It is opening to or recieving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is,
without either clinging to it or rejecting it.
