All throughout the world mankind has been engaged in various spiritual beliefs and practices to give meaning to the universe at large. When we study our history, we come to find that, our ancestors started burying their passed loved one as early as 500 000 years ago. Also in our recorded history we come to see that ancient Egyptian cultures placed much emphasis around spirituality, and have built awe inspiring structures to please their spiritual masters.

The word spirituality is a matter that concerns the spirit. And spirituality has been part of everyday life for our ancestors, and still is for many cultures around the world, who still choose to live as their forefathers. Spirit world co exists with physical world, although in western cultures the focus has shifted to science where science does not take into account of spirit world. Nonetheless spirituality is still widely practiced throughout the world. In eastern parts of the world where spirituality is concerned the belief is, the world is profoundly alive, and all that is in it has vital energy essence, and everything that exists lives and has consciousness.

The consciousness of spirits can integrate into human consciousness, and the soul – spirit of a living human is believed to become spirit when it dies, people who have past over becoming ancestor spirits or part of larger elemental spirit. And those who take spiritual world seriously often turns to spirit world for spiritual guidance, help and advice in times of uncertainty or trouble. And many cultures around the world have their spiritually advanced psychics that they consult; these spiritually knowledgeable psychics are called shamans, who can make the journey between spirit world and physical world. From Mongolia to Amazonian cultures to Africa shamanism is still widely practiced. And discoveries of prehistoric cave painting around the world suggest that earliest practitioners of spirituality in fact were shamans. And when we study the word shaman, it means that man or a woman who journeys in a trance, in its simplest meaning the words shaman is someone who has the ability for communicating with spirit world through entering a trance or alternative state of consciousness, therefore we can conclude shamans can be called psychics, in English language where the word psychic, meaning of the soul is widely used today. Although we cannot fully compare the word psychic to shamans, as for shamans must be initiated, into the spirit world, by means of psycho-spiritual disintegration, which leads to abandoning of former self and rebirth into a shamanic life with the spirit world. Most cultures in the past have had some form of spiritual tradition that recognized shamanistic interconnectedness of spirits; this may have been long ago, as the establishments of major world religions, also some cultures in middle Asia such as Siberia Mongolia Kazakhstan India or Africa still retain the remnants of shamanistic rituals.

Spiritual connections to higher realms can be useful for the practitioner, regardless of spiritual belief everyone can give meaning to the cosmos accordingly to their spiritual teachings, when we take the journey on our own psychic path way, one point to remember is the answers one seeks in within each heart to find out for self, to reach higher on spiritual understanding, as wisdom is developed by degrees. After all our spiritual thoughts and ambitions are debated inwards for our growth, when minds are open then much can be evaluated, then self realization is discovered, thus, the door of your hearts spiritual garden flourishes, this resulting, inner strengths replaces outer show.

In everyone’s spiritual journey there is much to discover yet all roads will lead the seeker to one place, which is their own heart. With every beat there is movement towards spiritual skies.

Man is not only the rightful heir of Almighty God but is a royal prince too. The individual soul is a part and parcel of the cosmic soul whom laymen call God. This royal prince (man) has all the qualities of his royal father (God) albeit in seed form. A small spark of a gigantic inferno has the same qualities of the inferno from where it emanated. Despite this it is very clear that man lives a very demeaned life today i.e. despite possessing divine qualities he lives a downfallen life. Why is this so? The answer is obvious and that is these divine powers are present in only their seed form. These latent powers have yet not been activated or awakened.

The Lord is Sat (eternal existence) but we human beings (God’s heir) undergo the vicious cycle of birth and death. God is Chit (divine light) and human beings swim in this terrible ocean of spiritual darkness/ignorance. God our Holy Father is divine bliss manifest and we wallow in the ocean of sorrow and pain. Hence a serious question arises in the mind of a deeply thinking person: Why this anomaly? God (King of this cosmos) sent his prince (mankind) in this world so as to live life royally and look upon it as a divine sport (Lila). And yet the bare reality is that man today is living a life of hell and strife. The little joy that he gets is transient and sure enough after a short time span hardships and anguish rule the roost. Why is it that that eternal (divine) bliss eludes mankind and thus forces him to wallow in pain and agony?

Fire by its very nature is full of heat and light. When this blazing fire slowly gets doused its upper region gets covered with a thick layer of ash. Thus the 2 qualities of fire viz. heat and light get covered by ash and cannot be seen or experienced by us. Fire covered by ash will not emit much heat nor light and lies listlessly. The burning fire full of brilliance can be demeaned to a lowly and useless state by a thick layer of as that covers its potential light and heat. Now suppose this thick layer of ash is removed totally the fire lying underneath will blaze forth terrifically and will also manifest its heat and light qualities fully.

Almighty God is Sat-Chit-Ananda or Existence-Consciousness-Bliss in nature. Hence his princely heir i.e. mankind too should be eternal bliss in nature. While living a life of divine sport (Lila) man should experience bliss and only bliss in this heavenly garden called world. And yet this divine bliss has been totally veiled by a lowly and vile intellect. A lowly intellect breeds nothing but strife and sorrow in life. Just as mentioned above when ash covers a blazing fire’s quality of heat and light so too a vile and tainted intellect covers man’s true nature which is eternal bliss oozing with divinity. It is a lowly intellect that perforce induces man to live a hell like life akin to penal servitude.

A tainted intellect is also called Maya, spiritual blindness/ignorance, demonic nature, Avidya etc. The thicker this veil of taints in our intellect and psyche greater are the hardships and dire situations faced by that individual. The more ones physical body is covered by a cake of filth the more one will feel itchy and emit a foul stench. If this dirt is reduced the itchiness and foul smell too will reduce correspondingly. If the body is devoid of dirt and filth it will remain in good health and less disease prone. But the more this filth attacks our body and settles on it the more one is prone to diseases that maybe fatalistic too. A tainted intellect and psyche can be compared to filth settling on the physical body. It induces unwholesome characteristics like fear, restlessness, agitation, stress, worry etc in our inner personality.

Today the world over, people are full of stress and tension. Some are unhappy because of illnesses, some face marital anguish, some are childless, some face business losses, some do not get job promotions, some are apprehensive of failure, some face false court cases, some fear their enemy, some face struggle due to injustice, some face disloyalty in friendship, some fear dowry problems, some are painfully separated from their dear ones etc. Thus as Lord Budha had declared: Everywhere there is sorrow and pain. Even our religious, financial, social, political and international aspects of life are full of tension and misery. Assuming that a person is more mentally alert even then at some point in time the widespread taints and misdeeds of others influence his psyche and thus his peace is destroyed. Thus his goal of attaining bliss remains unfulfilled.

Sorrow may be individual or at a macro level; their roots lie in a tainted intellect and psyche. Today this material world is so full of sense pleasures and comforts that it logically seems our entire lives should be full of joy and nothing but joy. Man possesses a priceless body, mind and intellect which logically should extract a lot of joy from these sense pleasures. In fact a gross viewpoint tells us that this joy should exceed even that present in heaven. And yet the bare reality experienced by world humanity says that everyone is in agony for some reason or the other, life seems dry and meaningless in the long run and virtually everyone experiences life to be burdensome and hence wait listlessly for death to take over. Our minds are bombarded with worry, tension, fears of future, taints and agitation. Is this not very similar to the description of hell described in ancient mythology like Puranas etc?

In reality this world indeed is beautiful and there is not an iota of ugliness in it. This world is a play ground of divine sports (Lilas) and has no place for worry, fear, tension etc. This precious human life is actually an eternal fount of the bliss of nectar and has no place for sorrow or anguish. “Swargaadapi gareeyasee”-this world is even more nectarine than heavenly pleasures because all those principles are present that pave the way for manifesting zest in our minds and hence daily lives. This rare and precious human body has been designed in such a manner that if it touches anything that object becomes beautiful and radiant. The Lord’s prince (humans) enters this world to revel in divine sports. He has been given a chariot called this rare body, servants in the form of sense organs and a minister in the form of an intellect so that he revels in this beautiful garden called the world. This prince is meant to taste and touch the nectarine beauty of this world. And yet if man is not experiencing nectar in this world it his vile and tainted intellect that is totally responsible for the pain and agony of worldly life faced by him.

Good health both mental and physical is our very true nature whereas mental and physical illness is not our nature. This is because physical and mental strife is the result of our own erroneous thinking and living. Birds and animals that live their lives in accordance with nature’s laws made for them do not fall sick day in and day out. Majority of the times they experience a fit and healthy body. As against this, man is actually inviting mental and physical agony by foolishly adhering to a lifestyle that goes against the very grain of natural laws laid down for world humanity. If only man sticks to nature’s laws while performing his daily activities he would be in a much better shape both physically and mentally. Similarly a sacred intellect is the very nature of all human beings. A pure and taintless intellect/psyche is God’s gift to mankind and hence is divine, our very birth right and nectar bestowing. When God sends every individual in this world he gives us a sacred mind and intellect so that it can in turn give us nothing but bliss while contacting this world of objects. And yet because spiritual ignorance and blindness take over our intellect it results in a psyche and intellect that thinks and acts erroneously and in an undesirable manner. In this manner at the mental level too we actually invite tension, agitation and turmoil simply because we harbor taints like lust, greed, avarice, criminal leanings, unethical thoughts etc in our psyche. Our psyche adheres to the law of “ALL OR NONE RESPONSE”. It means either our mind harbors wholesome thoughts or insists on foolishly thinking in an undesirable manner. In short both unwholesome and wholesome qualities cannot exist together. Thus it is for each individual to decide whether he/she wishes to nurture sacredness or lowliness in their minds and intellects. A vile intellect breeds sorrow and strife in abundance and a sacred mind, oozes with bliss and serenity that is devoid of even an iota of tension.

Gayatri verily is synonymous with a sacred intellect. In this Super Mantra a devotee prays to God for attaining a taintless and pure intellect. The 24 letters of Gayatri give us 24 priceless spiritual lessons and are direct manifestations of a sacred intellect. If these spiritual lessons are fully imbibed ones very viewpoint in life will be transformed in a sacred manner. Our previous tainted thinking, which was the root cause of our misery, now renounces these taints so as to attain purity. The Gayatri Super Mantra’s designing is so scientific that it helps activate innumerable latent powers in the psyche of a mature Gayatri devotee. Gayatri has that rare capacity to attract divine cosmic powers and store them in the psyche of its steadfast devotee. In this manner Gayatri definitely destroys ones tainted intellect from its very foundation so as to replace it with a pure and focused intellect. The more these taints (anger, lust, greed, fear, worry etc) are overcome greater is peace and bliss experienced by the aspirant. Gayatri is that eternal torch of divine light which destroys our spiritual ignorance that manifests as a tainted intellect. Thus man attains his true supremely divine state which was the reason why he took birth in this world of names and forms.

A person wearing spectacles with green colored lens will see all external objects as green. If the color used is yellow everything appears yellow. Similarly if we wear the spectacles of a vile intellect external circumstances will appear sorrowful and dire whereas these same circumstances will appear joyful for the one wearing spectacles of a sacred intellect. When a person’s brain experiences dizziness he/she visualizes external objects (house, trees, roads etc) as though they too are revolving when in reality they are not. A fearful man will ‘see’ ghosts while traveling in a dark alley where there are none in actuality. Know for sure that if our mind is tainted merely rectifying external situations will not diminish your woes. It is only when the psyche is cleansed and made focused that external situations, however dire will not destroy your inner serenity and mental balance. If a person wears yellow tinted sunglasses and wants to see external objects other than yellow in color you may keep changing external objects but they will continue to appear yellow in color. Some illnesses render a bitter taste in the patient’s taste buds and hence even if you give him delicious cakes, pizzas, mouth watering fruits etc he/she will get only a bitter taste. If a tainted intellect has induced lowly and unwholesome thinking in ones psyche it does not matter whether you live in palatial homes or for that matter heaven too, one will experience sorrow and nothing but sorrow even in such exotic surroundings.

Thus the chief task of Gayatri Super Mantra is to destroy ones taints present in the intellect and mind. A true Gayatri devotee is one who makes a firm resolve (Sankalpa) to overcome his inner taints and replace them with sacred qualities like love, compassion, integrity, values, ideals etc. Such devotion to Gayatri reaps success both materially and spiritually with greater ease and speed. Anyone who lays stress on imbibing purity of mind and intellect prospers both materially and spiritually. Thus infinite eternal bliss is at such a person’s beck and call for eternity.

Many years ago, I visited a great sage of our own country, a very holy man. We talked of our revealed book, the Vedas, of your Bible, of the Koran, and of revealed books in general. At the close of our talk,this good man asked me to go to the table and take up a book; it was a book which,among other things, contained a forecast of the rainfall during the year. The sage said, “Read that.” And I read out the quantity of rain that was to fall. He said, “Now take the book and squeeze it.” I did so and he said, “Why, my boy, not a drop of water comes out. Until the water comes out,it is all book,book. So until your religion makes you realise God, it is useless. He who only studies books for religion reminds one of the fable of the ass which carried a heavy load of sugar on its back, but did not know the sweetness of it.”

Shall we advise men to kneel down and cry, “O miserable sinners that we are!” No, rather let us remind them of their divine nature. I will tell you a story. A lioness in search of prey came upon a flock of sheep,and as she jumped at one of them, she gave birth to a cub and died on the spot. The young lion was brought up in the flock,ate grass, and bleated like a sheep, and it never knew that it was a lion. One day a lion came across the flock and was astonished to see in it a huge lion eating grass and bleating like a sheep. At his sight the flock fled and the lion – sheep with them. But the lion watched his opportunity and one day found the lion – sheep asleep. He woke him up and said, “You are a lion.” The other said, “No,” and began to bleat like a sheep. But the stranger lion took him to a lake and asked him to look in the water at his own image and see if it did not resemble him,the stranger lion. He looked and acknowledged that it did. Then the stranger lion began to roar and asked him to do the same. The lion – sheep tried his voice and was soon roaring as grandly as the other. And he was a sheep no longer.

My friends, I would like to tell you all that you are mighty as lions.

If the room is dark, do you go about beating your chest and crying, “It is dark, dark, dark!” No, the only way to get the light is to strike a light,and then the darkness goes. The only way to realise the light above you is to strike the spiritual light within you, and the darkness of sin and impurity will flee away. Think of your higher self,not of your lower.

Jewelry is our current way to decorate ourselves. In ancient times, jewelry was mainly used to represent the status of the wearer, and ultimately, when that person was buried, all the jewels were buried along. The oldest piece of jewelry ever to be found dates back one hundred thousand years ago. The materials used for manufacturing were mainly natural, for example bone, shells, wood and others.

Jewelry has suffered a lot of changes from the time it first appeared to our present days. However, some of the implications of jewelry have been kept, such as the statement of status. For instance, if you see someone walk by you on the street with a thick gold ring with a diamond on top, three gold necklaces around their necks and 6 inch ear-rings, then you would know what kind of financial status that person has.

Not everyone’s goal in life is to show how well they are doing from a financial point of view. Jewelry can also be worn for other purposes. There are some interesting pieces of jewelry that can compliment your beliefs, adjust your behavior and improve your lifestyle.

These things I’m talking about are known as spiritual jewelry. Many may think that this means crosses and other religious things like that. Indeed, some may be related in some way with religions around the world, but their meaning can go far deeper than that.

As you know, mathematics is considered to be the universal language. While we speak so many different languages, and we have so many different opinions about life, mathematics is the one language that brings us together. Apart from adding and multiplying, there are some mathematical constants that are the same no matter if you are in China or England.

There are some symbols that can be found all over in nature. The first and most obvious one is the sphere, a pattern that planets and stars have been created upon. Lots of other interesting shapes like the Flower of Life, the Seed of Life or the Tree of Life are found in the surrounding environment and we don’t even know it.

Once these patterns have been discovered, people have been amazed to find them in things they didn’t even dream of. For instance, the Seed of Life is obtained from a sphere the same way the cell multiplies in a woman’s body until it forms a new life.

Spiritual jewelry consists of pieces designed according to those patterns. Some items can be created with religious meanings, but spiritual jewelry created as presented afore does not hold any religious correlations. It is simply a piece of jewelry with deeper meaning.

Spiritual jewelry is also believed to have hidden powers. For instance, the Seed of life can be worn as a symbol of protection, especially for pregnant women, while a Flower of Life pendant is believed to have some special healing powers.

Spiritual jewelry can be designed according to lots of other patterns as well. If you are interested in this type of jewelry and if you want to know more information about the meaning of each piece you can visit the website ka-gold-jewelry.com

of tarot cards began roughly the 1400’s, a century following cards were announced in Europe embarking with the forming metropolises in italia. The evolvement of Tarot as we understand it now has a range of chronicles and folklore. The mystical characteristicsof tarot cards rivets teachers, investigators and etherealists. Tarot cards were initially used as game pieces like regular decks, a manifoldfrom what we regard of tarot cards now, although a citations to Tarot as a seriesof devil cards was made in the 1450s. The refinement of tarot cards began in Egypt, which is the equal cultures that protagonised astrology.

A typical tarot deck contains 78 cards consisting of the four suits seen in regular card games, which are hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs. The Latin version of the tarot deck has a different set of suits. They are swords, batons, cups, and coins. Like a regular deck, tarot cards are numbered from one to ten plus the four court cards; jack, queen, king, and ace.

The difference between a tarot deck and the regular deck is the twenty-one divinity cards known as Major Arcana. A joker equivalent in the tarot deck is called the Fool, or the excuse. The Fool can take all four suits and acts as the strongest trump card.

Tarot card interpretations are always changing – and they have also differed significantly through time. Today, however, there are common and general card meanings. For example, minor arcana cards usually have an astrological meaning that changes along with the seasons of the year. On another side of things, court cards talk of people and their nature. This nature concerns the physio-emotional traits of a person.

More specifically, the determinants of a card’s meaning are the following: Card Number, Key Number, Rulership (Astrology), Hebrew Letter, Translation, and Numerical Value. The meaning is also determined by the position of the card, whether it is upright or Ill-Dignified/Reversed. The difference between peoples’ readings is the weights they impose on the different ’statistics’ and ‘attributes’ of the card.

Face-to-face tarot card readings are the most popular types of readings because they allow the person to select the cards themselves. The reader then interprets what cards are chosen. This has more market appeal due to its interactive nature. In different parts of the world, there are several street readers who do readings for passers-by. There are also people who go to homes in order to read tarot card meanings for other people. England rates for home readings are at £12.50 per person or around that area.

Tarot card purists believe that these face-to-face readings are the original type of readings. This leads them to believe that face-to-face readings are a lot truer than other types of tarot card readings like e-mail or telephone readings. Then again, these arguments are astrological in nature and cannot be found to be true or accurate.

Alternative tarot card reading methods include phone and online readings. While there are free Internet sites to read your fortunes, they are only for show or offered as a gimmick. On the other hand, professional tarot card readers offering their services over the phone can cost about £5.00 per reading. Card reading over the phone offers a different approach to commercial tarot card reading, since the customer can have a hotline to know his fortunes on demand. Card reading allows people to have their fortunes checked every morning, which is both convenient and lifestyle altering.

Tarot cards have been around for centuries and have been used in many cultures for the purposes of divination. There are a variety of card layouts, and there are several different card reading methods that card readers use. The interpretation of Tarot Cards is based on the card position and the various symbols in each card.

Spirituality is not renouncing the world; it is transforming the world. Spirituality does not mean poverty, spirituality means you are inwardly rich and every effort should be made so that you are outwardly also rich, because there is no contradiction.

                There is no need to go to the Himalayas and sit in a cave to meditate when in your house you can make a small air-conditioned cabin, soundproof, which will be far better than any cave in the Himalayas. In the old days there was no other way to find place where there was no noise, but now you can make it in your home. Every home should have a small meditation cell.

                Spirituality does not mean torturing yourself – standing on your head, destroying your body. Leave all that to the magicians. Spirituality simply means tranquility – so deep that you come in contact with universal silence that is running within you.  And there is no reason why you should not be rich. Infect, a spiritual person has more intelligence, more creativity; more understanding-he can be the richest person in the world. And his richness will have two dimensions, the inner and the outer.

                Outer richness does not destroy your inner spirituality; neither does outer poverty help it. A hungry man cannot sit silently. S naked man shivering in the cold cannot sit silently. And even if you are surrounded by beggars, then too you cannot sit silently. You have a heart…

                I would like this world to be rich in both ways. And when we can have the world rich in both ways, why choose one?

ds are made up of twenty-one trump cards, the fool and 1 extra face card for all additional suits in the deck. various provinces in Europe employ the deck to amusement with organized protocols, howeverin English-speaking territories, tarot cards can be found in the area of fortune-telling.

The tarot cards originated also with additional cards in the 1300’s. teachers allude that they were generated in Islamic territories, but the first historic information in the English-speaking planet is the Christian zone of Bern, Switzerland. The older tarot cards included only sixteen trump cards as compared to twenty-one in candid decks.

Tarot cards are separated into one major arcana and five suits, namely: The Major Arcana, The Suit of Wands, The Suit of Coins, The Suit of Cups, and the Suit of Swords.

The suits are separated as well. Their points’ worth and specific meanings are determined by being one of Oudlers/Trulls, Kings, Queens, Cavaliers, Jacks, or Others. Oudlers and Kings have the same value; the others from Queens to Jacks are worth one point less than their predecessors.

Despite this, the English-speaking world pays more attention to the divinatory meanings of the cards, which will be tackled in the next area.

Tarot card meanings are generally changing – and they have also changed drastically through time. In the modern era, however, there are common interpretations for cards. Minor arcana cards, for example, carry with them a widely astrological meaning that varies depending on the time of year. The court cards, on the other hand, talk of different people. Their nature usually talks about the physical and emotional characteristics of these people.

To go into specific cards, their meanings are determined by the following things: Card Number, Key Number, Rulership (Astrology), Hebrew Letter, Translation, and Numerical Value. The meaning is also determined by the position of the card, whether it is upright or Ill-Dignified/Reversed. Death (Arcana), for example, means change. However, an upright Death means change that brings about ‘new life,’ whilst a reversed Death means ‘painful and abrupt change.’

Many tarot readings are done face to face. You can find someone who reads tarot cards in your local area by searching online, checking local listings or asking at an occult bookshop. You should come prepared with a question or query much of the time, and may find that while you can gain some useful insights from a reading, it is more a perceptive tool than a truly esoteric one. Each tarot reader has their own preferences with regard to how they lay out cards and read them; however, you can reasonable expect that a more complex and time consuming reading will be more costly.

You can also have a tarot reading done over the phone. If you cannot find a local person who does tarot readings or would prefer additional discretion, this can be a good choice. While you should expect a tarot reading over the phone to be rather expensive, do avoid questionable services charging by the minute. There are reputable tarot card readers who provide readings over the phone for a reasonable flat fee. Some may also offer online readings for a small sum, and provide their interpretation of the cards via email.

Tarot card divination may not be a real science; it may not be as accurate as some people would like to believe, but the market for tarot is ever growing through the availability of readings online and in other similar mediums. While this is so, there is still a large demand for face-to-face tarot reading because of the mystique and interactivity. A fair judgment of the industry is that it is growing in its different aspects – whether it is face to face, on the phone, or by some other medium. While society drives itself into a more scientific future, the appeal of astrology, especially in tarot cards, is still growing fast.

Pandayji rarely gets flustered as his work brings him in touch with all sorts of people. He is as comfortable speaking with peasants in the planting fields as delivering a moving speech to crowds of thousands. Through the auspices of Pandayji, I have met government leaders and top celebrities in his country and, yet, in the presence of Gideon and Marla, he appeared as a little schoolboy seeing his hero, face to face for the first time.

“HiPandayji,”saidGideonashereachedoverandshook Pandayji’s outstretched hand, “it’s great to see you again.”

“Again? Whatever do you mean, sir?” Pandayji looked puzzled, “unfortunately, I don’t recall ever meeting you before.”

Marla walked over to Pandayji, shook his hand and said, “You may not remember meeting us, but I assure you, we know you well. John speaks of you often. And, of course, we see you from time to time when we visit the Holy Ones. Sometimes we meet during dream time.”

“You certainly understand these things, Pandayji,” Gideon added. “Anyone who spends so much time with the Holy Ones will understand who we are and what we’re about.”

By this time we were all sitting comfortably around the table. Having possession of the Ambrose Stone after all these years caused me to squirm with excitement. I was anxious to share its story with Gideon. From the corner of my eye, I could see Pandayji sitting sponge-like, quietly absorbing everything that was going on. It was as if he was trying to remember long forgotten adventures while reacquainting himself with old companions. I casually glanced at Marla and, again, there was that special alluring sensation at having her so close. We placed our dinner order and casually chatted while it was being served. But the Ambrose Stone, I must get back to it.

“Gideon, do you know what this is?” I asked, hardly able to contain my enthusiasm between bites of the delicate Indian roti. “I mean, this is the most amazing thing that could ever happen. Here, look at it.” I handed the pouch containing the Ambrose Stone to Gideon and waited with anticipation for his response as I reached for my glass of water. Some Indian curries could be very spicy.

The long, lazy days of summer rolled on ever so slowly into autumn. The short island vacation seemed far removed from today’s reality. I hadn’t seen Marla or Gideon in a while and was busy with a number of projects, working against looming deadlines. Also, there were distended piles of correspondence to deal with.

I missed Marla and Gideon and wished that there was some way to stay in touch more regularly. Even though they exhibited a degree of enlightenment beyond my comprehension and seemed to possess abilities and talents far surpassing my understanding, I had begun to think of them as just two wonderful, extraordinary friends who were totally ordinary to me. This is how it seems to work. We are a reflection of those we associate with. Run with jackals and you assume the lifestyle and thinking of jackals. Associate with lions and you will mirror their strength and grace.

Never did Marla and Gideon jump in to solve all my problems. Many times they didn’t even participate in the solution at all. But I knew that they were nearby cheering forme, encouraging my efforts, suggesting alternate actions and comforting me when it all seemed to fall apart, as it had done so many times in the past. They had become, perhaps, two of my closest friends.

I’d often wondered whether others were as fortunate as I to have a Gideon and Marla. Once, when I brought up the subject, Gideon assured me that each person has friends in other areas of the universe who were as close or closer than their earthly, human friends. We hadn’t discussed it at length, but I had made a mental note to ask him to tell me more about this type of communication.

I do not remember taking any definite steps to find Gideon and Marla. As I recall, it was Gideon who found me and then later I was introduced to Marla. But even so, I recalled the old saying, “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” I even went a step further, saying, “when the teacher is ready, the master will appear.”I imagine we should be ready to welcome our Gideons and Marlas whenever they arrive. However,the choice is ours. We don’t have to receive them into our lives. Some individuals are afraid of such experiences. Most people are scared of what they do not understand; and when they are scared, they become angry.
