[Continued]⁣ Excerpts from my autobiography "I PLEIADES" (Part 2 of excerpt)⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What kinds of experiences went into creating the individual you see before you today?⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣--------⁣
That evening one of the monks made one last effort at convincing me to stay. We had a nice talk which ended up with him bringing me to the doorway of the temple. From there he walked a few feet away and stopped turned back to me and said "what do you see?"⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
He did that several more times, stopping each time and turning and asking "what do you see?"⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
It was evening and so each time he faded more deeply into the night until only his voice remained, emanating from the darkness, asking again, "what do you see?" Each time I would respond and each time he would gently respond to whatever I said...⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
I no longer recall my responses or his but I believe his responses had a teaching and profound flavor to them. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Interestingly enough the dream I had that evening and still remember to this very day was one of God playing a piano singing to me the words "you never give me a chance."⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Yes my dream very clearly told me to stay, ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
but I was only in my early 20's and my mind was made up to leave. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
The next morning they bid me a fond farewell and the head of the ashram told me that someday I would return since to him it was clear that I had begun the journey a long time ago in a previous life or lives...⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
So long ago… Many times over the years I have wondered at the conversation that night as the monk faded into the night. I wonder what he said...?⁣⁣
