THE STORY OF A STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND

ABOUT THE ABSENT

(A story for children, dedicated to my daughter)

or

The story of a Stranger in a Strange Land

When he came to this dimension, it was because he was forced to be born. The decision had been taken by the Mother Creation, which would be forwarded to his Surrogate Mother to put him  in the bosom of Mother Nature.

However, he fought and struggled against the exit door required by its source, but who had determined his destination.

When he opened his eyes for the first time, he saw almost nothing. Just a slight light, perhaps similar to that one which was part of the World where he used to live.

There was only one thing that connected him with this material World. The vehicle which had germinated and protected him during his initial cycle of existence. Comfort and Love along with Harmony were given by his surrogate Mother carrying his existence, his material, and spiritual Protector.

What a strange sensation to feel the “material” around us!  On that same moment, he knew, that it was necessary to interpret things and people in his way.

After all, what was the difference between the two? Movement?

Contrary to the apparent, one single link was important for him: the spiritual bond between his parents and this new World!

The protection brought by them and the analysis of this new environment were the motivation to absorb and accumulate the information captured by his small eyes and his little heart.

The outside World seemed sweet and terrifying at the same time because it was not yet identified. One factor has prevailed in its short existence: his Spiritual protectors.

The connection given by the Love, Care, Presence and Support in launching this new existential cycle was to transmit the sensation that enveloped him when his Original Dimension surrounded him.

Over there, there was an existing Peace, Tranquillity, and Harmony of a Dimension, which did not pose questions or problems. It was a dimension of eternal Continuity where these issues never arose due to the overall understanding of the existing common context where he belonged.

The Harmony and Spiritual protection were present only when he was asleep on his Father's chest, directly over his heart or in the arms of his Mother when she kissed him tenderly to make him sleep.

This Harmony and Protection would later be forgotten because they were absorbed by other values that he ignored, but that fact would make him survive. In the other dimension, that concept of survival didn’t exist.

Everything was expressed by a Continuity of Understanding coming from a convergence of Reason and Intelligence generated by a single Superior Entity that insured that same Continuity.

Later, he would understand that in this new cycle, the real protectors would always be his parents. Not by their attitudes, but by their Spirit. His Spirit, his Origin.

Then he would also understand that this first cycle of his existence, was the most significant period of his earthly life.

THE DIFFERENT WORLDS

His youth was lived differently, in his way, depending on his state of Mind.

He had the notion that, contrary to his old environment, this world was controversial and threatening. The challenges were constant, and the notions about possible solutions were brought through individual attitudes set in motion by the instinct of survival in an unknown environment.

He knew that in this world, everything was put in doubt because subconsciously he knew that there was no limit to the Creation, though for the further development of the human Mind and Spirit.

In his eyes and accustomed to analyzing everything in a global context, it was a challenge to ourselves, individuals, trying to understand and evolve according to our relational context in a material and human level. At the same time, we sought to overcome issues and problems through a previous knowledge which is present in all of us.

He believed that the difference between his original environment and this one was the individuality of every being, the ability of each one of us to make the connection between their past existence and the extent of the present one, knowing how to use most tools that are part of our previous original formation.

He believed that this ability makes the difference between people, the difference between their behaviours, and analysis, their various reactions. Different Sensitivities, various States of Mind, different Worlds in one single common World.

He also thought that this awareness is the key to the final selection to the transition into a New World that awaits us, which some believe exists, others refuse to accept, and others try to ignore.

He knew that the final selection will be based on the state of mind of each one, particularly regarding their spiritual maturity.

For him, the most important thing was his convictions and beliefs that persisted against all religions and regimes or other imposed or manipulating rituals.

The idea about an intrinsic Origin was his Strength, created his Energy, his Purity, his Beauty, brought him Peace, giving him the Kindness, the Humility, sometimes the Intelligence and Wisdom, and others, the aggressiveness to overthrow his enemies and obstacles.

But in reality, he felt completely alone, in the middle of others and he needed to share his state of mind to feel closer to Home. His concept of the word “collective” persisted in his thoughts.

FRIENDSHIP

He believed and felt that FRIENDSHIP was the highest expression of FEELINGS between human beings.

FRIENDSHIP consolidated human RELATIONSHIP and gave rise to deeper ties, different FEELINGS as LOVE.

He realized that in fact, to be able to LOVE, we have to be real FRIENDS in the first place. That was the difference between LOVE and procreation. Easy to procreate, but very difficult to know what it is to LOVE someone.

For him, FRIENDSHIP was at the top of the pyramid of FEELINGS in this dimension.

THE DREAMS

He dreamed of strange images, with people and different events in a different World. A World that is constantly changing and that he did not have enough time of existence to discuss and experiment.

This dream was not a Déjà Vu, but a regression that ran automatically in his Spirit every time he fell asleep. And he remembered every moment of that dream.

By this fact, he passed from one World to another preserving the memories and experiences of both.

He dreamed and lived at the same time, asleep or awake.

He dreamed that the World was as pure as at his Origin and that this new road of his life, lead to a process of construction and development as a final goal of THE CREATOR.

He dreamed that Death was just a word and never an end, just a simple bridge to our final destination, our original environment.

He dreamed that all beings are brothers and sisters, and we all have to help each other, sharing our difficulties, problems, and needs, the same feelings.

His dream was always to stay with his Family present and future until the end of his Existence.

His dream was to carry out his mission of building a fortress for himself and his Family.

He dreamed that we all could and would want to live together in this wonderful World of convergence of Spirits, coming from the same semen and the same womb of Mother Nature, and they could support, reinforce and strengthen each other.

He dreamed that Intelligence and Wisdom could not be so far from aggression and malformation as they’re expressed.

He dreamed that a primary animal instinct could never replace Love and Feelings.

He dreamed that the struggle for UNDERSTANDING could end IGNORANCE.

He dreamed it was possible to live instead of surving.

He dreamed about hitting the road that he had learned before. Growing up, rising, getting support and finally realizing the most important thing: creating a Family.

THE FAMILY

The Family was a Sacred word to him because his notion of this concept came from the UNION generated in his previous Origin and that he could not explain.

Family meant the opposite ideas about the concepts of Individualism and Survival.

These words and definitions didn’t exist in his world of origin.

This form of UNION was the most important and therefore could overcome all the problems, difficulties, and requirements imposed by this existential context.

He looked at his grandparents and aging parents, but he knew its significance.

He knew he would join them later on after they passed away.

For him, the most important thing was the Present moment and not the Future, still both being the same: the notions of Continuity that are ignored by this Dimension.

By knowing about this concept in his world of Origin, he did not measure time.

TIME

But time passed and with it came the idea about the limitation of the Present compared to his Past and his Future.

For him, it was the recent past that lived inside of him, because in his subconscious, he never renounced his SOURCE and because in that dimension, that notion about Time didn’t exist.

There was only an extension of Existence, the Time of Creation herself, and another TIME that involved the Continuity of Existence, the Eternity.

The ignorance of Humanity was to misunderstand Time; Time as a Whole.

It was not just about absorbing the Past to create the Present, but at the same time ignoring the Future. They were burning Time by ignoring the Continuity implied in those three elements.

This misunderstanding, combined with rapid technological change, allegedly responsible for the Evolution of Humanity, was at the origin of this gap, making everything even worse.

This alleged Technical Evolution, having been raised to a global exponent and requiring a global awareness about Time, would bring Humanity to the point to transcend and overcome their Time, instead of respecting it and understanding it as it is.

This notion of our Time came very late in his Life. Coming from another environment where there was no beginning or end, the implicit concept of a final moment was not part of his consciousness.

For similar reasons, he forgot that years passed, moments were lost and that the end was approaching.

For similar reasons, he hoped that these values and beliefs, his life, should remain static and unchangeable.

Time for him was to build and relive every moment that was lost temporarily, in the presence of fundamental values that made him survive and live to achieve his Eternity.

Everything has to stay together to achieve that point. All components, all elements, even separately, represent one Force, one Union, one Life! One only Love connected to a common Existence.

After all, he was lost in Time, possibly in his Time or the Time that it has been assigned to his Existence.

THE REALITY

The reality of his life was nothing he had expected.

It would confirm his theory that the ultimate Reality as it was, consisted only of a temporary event that has shaped Life as a chameleon responds and adapts to the environment.

The reality was hurting him, made him lose his Energy, lose his objectivity and his vision for the Future.

For him, it was not worth the trouble anymore to fight for whatever he had built before.

Confusion, disappointment, and detachment gradually took possession of his Spirit, making him a different person from what he had been before.

When he looked at his photos as a young man, he remembered how he was, the Values he believed those who had given him the Strength to fight and win the great battle that he ultimately would lose.

MEMORIES OF A PRESENT PAST

He remembered what had been the simple moments spent with his Music, the only world he had never left and that could always be trusted.

A World of Art, full of Power, Purity, Beauty: the only World that reflected his Spirit. Music!

He remembered having traversed plains and moved mountains to build a small castle for himself and his Family.

He remembered that he had exceeded all the goals that he didn’t know he would be able to achieve as a result of its capacity, but only achievable by his purpose: the motivation of not being alone on the battlefield.

He had the illusion that we are all one and not a single being in the middle of our Family.

Disillusionment about the human being accumulated in his Spirit and that lead him to an unwanted isolation that was imposed by those around him.

In reality, Respect between human beings was just a written word in the dictionary, a mere tendentious illusion as the words Democracy, Religion and all the ideals that are only a  manipulation of Spirit, because they weren’t put in practice in this Dimension.

As this dimension was based on Individualism and not Collectiveness, society was not founded on Pluralism, but in Egocentrism, in Religion and not in Belief, in Destruction instead of Construction.

In fact, human beings never thought that in their subconscious, they had an inherent need to destroy to be able to rebuild and start over again instead of trying to consolidate their Present and their Future!

In fact, society was doomed from the start given its incompatibility between its material and spiritual elements.

THE ORIGIN

He knew that:

The Origin has no Beginning or End.

The Origin was a natural source of Creation, Energy, and Logic.

The Origin was the Spiritual Mother, Unique, and Irreplaceable.

That She was the flow of Energy that accumulated Knowledge, Logic, Intelligence and Wisdom necessary to create the Cosmos: The Perpetual Machine: The Eternity.

To create Eternity! To create the Universe!

Our Origin was the luminous flux, the Main Stream of Energy from where we came, and to where we would return.

Therefore, we were part of our Origin, as mere human beings, we were part of each other, defining the concept about “The Whole” ignored by Humanity since the application of false concepts of Individualism, Respect, Religion, Democracy and Freedom that we impose on ourselves.

Our Origin made us live, die and come back to our surrogate Mother.

Our Origin would make us improve our Spirits through the various stages of learning, until the final integration in its Eternal Flux.

In our Origin, we find Peace, because no question is asked because it is a World of Understanding and Logic.

Because he believed unconditionally in his Origin and her Perpetual Principle, he was always ready to start over again, joining the Universal Motion and remaining close to Creation.

Deep inside, he lived all the moments that made him exist and which would accompany him in all roads, present and future, immediate and remote.

He lived based on memories. The rest was no longer interesting for him.

He was always sure that later, we would be together again, to live and relive the same experiences that had occurred, but in a more Pure form.

THE INVISIBLE BALANCE

He knew there was a Universal balance that was not adapted to this Dimension, and that managed the rules of Existence.

He knew that there was not a God but simply Creation herself.

He believed there was a responsibility of Creation regarding his Existence.

He knew that not even Creation was perfect.

DIGNITY AND SPIRIT

He could not stand to be judged by the Creation as he made an intrinsic part of Her.

He could not stand to be judged by men for what he never did, for what he had never been, nor what they have never allowed him to achieve in his life.

He could not bear to survive instead of Live.

And he finally walked back into his World. His Origin, his real Family!
