By John Kern

Two souls passing in time,
Each sensing in the other, recognition of search’s
     completion..
The promise of coming home again.
Yet, each bound by prior commitments;
Each bound by societal dictates and expectations.
Moments to cherish.. foreseen, dreamed of, then
     longed for,
Yet not reached for, not realized, not lived.
Excited aliveness of possibilities,
To soon cut short.

This window of opportunity too brief,
The courage to action too fragile,
Tick-tock then gone

Here again, in forms and appearances of this new incarnation,
Here again that spark of recognition in each for the other,
Here again sticky commitments and social pressures,
Here again a window.. closing.

Will the torments of that first loss, now embolden heroic effort
Sufficient to loose personal and societal strictures?
Will knowings in their hearts prevail
While doubts and conditionings of their minds fall away?
On what side of the glass will our would-be lovers find themselves
In this window’s final hour?

Tick-tock…

Introduction 

This is poem is about two souls who are meant to find one another and be together to complete a major part of the tapestry of their human existences.  During their first encounter they are enticed and attracted to one another to an unexplainable degree, but they let their then-current life situations mute their behaviors toward one another until circumstances geographically remove them from each other’s presence.

Then, lifetimes later in a different incarnation, they again find and recognize each other in a setting almost identical with that of their first meeting; thus given a second opportunity to choose the powerful leadings of their hearts and souls or the comforts and stability of lives they have built to this point in time.

The author’s intent as conveyed in style and wording is to endeavor to bring to the reader’s remembrance or imagination a similar situation in the reader’s own life which was similarly charged with unspoken passions and allowed to quietly languish until the opportunity for positive action had passed.  A central theme highlighted in the poem is the impermanence of the window of opportunity, and the suggestion that the torment of a prior missed opportunity may be an encouragement to action if given a second chance.

“Hellooooo….” they call out in the night
“Can you hear me….” “are you there…”
As she drifts off to sleep she hears them.
“Am I dreaming?” she wonders.
The whispers are like a soft breeze
brushing against her face.

“Comeeee with ussss….”
Whispers and murmurs, buzzing and humming.
She is surrounded by the soft vibration.
Upward, lifting. She is floating now.
Into the night sky…and further.
“Where am I going?” she wonders.

Soft, warm, silently she floats.
“Loooook….” they say
But she cannot see.
“Why can I not see?” she wonders.

Falling, slowly, softly, gently.
Back into here and now.
“Goodbyeeeee….” they whisper.
She feels them brush against her cheek.
She awakens knowing she has been there.
And did not see.

Take in a slow deep breath through your nose pushing your abdomen OUT as you inhale, the slowly exhale through your nose pressing your abdomen IN as if you are crushing your navel against your spine.

By doing this procedure you have called upon the central energy centers that the Chinese call your upper dantien [third eye are] and lower dantien [about two or three fingers below the naval], focus should be paid towards the lower dantien. This is also a technique in Qigong, Falun Dafa and other such energy systems. This also opens up all the psychic centers [aka chakras] or channels particularly on the visualization on the last breath.

Are some of the ghosts, we see, in Purgatory?

Prayers for the dead are said, in many cultures, to help the dead rest in peace, and to help them reach heaven. This is a common thread, that leads me to think that many ghosts are here, because they are not ready for heaven. Maybe there is a dimension that we can not see, that could be named “purgatory”.

Is purgatory a sad place? Souls bring what they have learned into purgatory. There is suffering, but there is also happiness as souls learn, and eventually ascend into heaven. If they were truely evil, they would be in Hell. Of course, for a evil person, their own purgatory would be Hell on Earth.

After reaching heaven, I believe that spirits are not locked behind heavens gate. They are able to visit Earth, see family, and even wander places they have enjoyed….. before they reenter heaven. It’s important to remember, that not all spirits need our help.

(opinions are the authors only)

For example, the media is purposely sending messages of fear and chaos concerning flu, cancers, disease, and more  both the general population and the lightworkers. The general population for fear of being consumed by the the above, the lightworkers the chaos/fear of being forcefully injected with vaccines  remedies that we know are poison and will limit our abilities.

We are to keep moving forward. As long as we are moving the snake cannot swallow us. It must wait until we are asleep, not watching. Keep watching, keep moving. Keep your vibrations high. The snake cannot overpower you if you are awake. It cannot overtake your energy. Keep moving and do not fear. Fear will make you falter, it will tire you and make you easy prey for the snake. Stay strong and do not fear. Pay no attention to the works of the snake. You are beyond that. You are too strong for the snake. The tools you will need will appear when the moment is right. You will succeed in the end.

On a stool by the wheel, the Master relaxed.
Watching it turn while the symbols flashed.
The master saw the girl, and glanced her way.
Perplexed she thought “Why am I in this place?”

The master approached and opened a book.
“You want to know, go ahead…take a look.”
Pages of symbols and pictures of this and that,
A baby, a puppy, an apple, a cat
Ancient ruins, ancient symbols and things from the past.
Old mixed with new, pages turning so fast.

Questions forming, she looked…but the master was gone.
She was left with the book and the symbols… all alone.
Then a voice she heard… in her inner ear
“You must experience it all, that is why you are here.”
