Wow! That was a little intense and a little wonderful. I wish I could write like that. I’ll need to revisit as there’s so much there. You had me hooked from the beginning of your story. I’m still curious to learn more about the guru. My first impression (perhaps, my projection) — it feels like a dark guru who might lead you astray or is that the point?
I’ve had some encounters with the Grim reaper in dreams. That what it sounds like when you say,
What matters,” the guru mused thoughtfully, “is that you take my advice. Do not hesitate. Do not rethink your mistake. Simply keep moving forward. Into the darkness. Into the void. Follow the sound. Don’t get lost in your own self deception. The world wants you to fail. It intends for this to happen. If you want to get to the other side of this, then you must play a different game altogether. The game begins, now off you go.”
Yes. I understand the idea of being given an invitation to entertain or explore darkness. I’d say we often need a companion to accompany us.
“The world wants you to fail” — has me intrigued. Why did the guru say that?
Is it because you risk rejection when you choose to embrace the dark? Is it because it’s a world that doesn’t understand this path?
I promise to come back to this because I need to read this again more carefully. Thanks.
Thankyou! These questions are fantastic, I love hearing your experience of the story.
I think of the guru as somewhat neutral with the potential to go either way which makes him a little dangerous. It depends on the person who the guru is.
So, the taker of the sound has both made a mistake and not made a mistake. Sort of a Schrodinger situation. The outcome depends on the process.
The world, as in the society, is a large psychic force, you could say, it's influence is strong, so you have to be mindful of that. The society wants you to remain within it, not become liberated.
The messages we get at times of duress, whether to the body or the mind, are potent.
With your life journey you have experiences and views on this that may vary greatly from my own. In my experience of varied sources of Voice:
Those coming from 'within' such as muscle memory, as in the literal physical body is talking to us. Base, primal word patterns telling us what the physical self needs to thrive. It may also be sending false warnings because it has recorded some event it cannot shake and needs 'reprogramming.' Then there is an internal Voice, our moral compass aside from our own inner dialogue.
The other category is 'outer' voices, whether they be Higher Entity(s) or the etheric family we travel with, or from the Library in answer to a Question. There are also those Earth/Nature Voices which are a very special gift. I think they are programmed into use by location, because the vibrations and strata are so different in different places. These resonate strongly with not only where we were born or resided in this life but others. Thus the feeling of 'knowing' a place, or needing to be somewhere to feel more Whole.
Going Home in the inner sense could be the body speaking to you of the place it vibrationally resonates. Or in the outer sense it might be where a spiritual family exists you have yet to find but are connected to; or one you have left.
Just some thoughts. No answer necessary. Probably more than I should have written.
Thankyou, I greatly appreciate your experience and view. I experience many voices and so it is good to have someone with perspective on this. I know I am going back to California, this is my home, and it seems necessary in order to foster the community for what is next, but there is still some confusion about the move, I suppose time will tell as it does.
Ahhhh... Cali has always called me. These fires are soul crushing. Why. Why. Why. We had plans to buy something small in the desert. Now this will be changed, put off yet again. I have been trying to Be there for most of my adult life. Some of my important experiences and connections with my own Magik and Earth are there. For now I will follow your sun. Mine seems to be staying north no matter how I steer the wheel from the hub, sometimes we are only riding the outer ring. This is The Wheel of Fortune card life plays us.
From Smith River, Klamath, to my most magical and favorite of all: Mendocino. That is actually where I want to be. Now the thought of being out on a peninsula during a fire or flood is just not practical. And frightening. The Point Cabrillo Light House was taken out the last time I was there looking for land, a small business to buy, even considering Caspar. By myself I probably would have done it anyway. Kel and I have taken our Airstream from Seattle to Costa Mesa. I just love that coast.

It’s The Questions…
So Very Yes.
It makes me smile because I knew you would write like that. Like that and more.
Our story of our own crossing, when told, reads incredibly. Yet real. Because it is.

Thankyou. I wrote this at the beginning of my exhile as I called it, around 2013. Just came to me as is, no edits.
Last year, the message came strong, Go Home, and so it make me think of this writing. I am still meditating on that. Where home is, what home means.

Yes, the fires are disturbing my plans to move, though we intend to go North rather than South. Have you investigated Northern California at all?
