I was talking to my mother about how I experienced the world when I was a child. I explained that I just knew things that some people take half a lifetime learning. They are my earliest memories. I knew that I was eternal. In this strange place I'd comfort myself by reminding myself that I have always been, I am, and ever shall it be so. I knew that time was an illusion and that it had already run out. I'd scoff at Father Time every day. I tried to explain to her how an object isn't set in my early memories; how I'd see the decay of the world all around me, but not in a negative manner. There was never any stillness, is all. I have yet to explain the experience of being approached by a consciousness that encompassed the sky. How that entity marveled that I could talk to it and sense it. How it shaped my very young mind and connected me to all that is. I've told her, though, that I knew the world would end in fiery hell and that I would die when I was 16. And I've told her that in my dreams I die again and again. And that I don't fall to my doom, only to wake up before hitting the ground as most people report, but that I feel death and go back to that state of bliss and all knowing. It's rare that a nightmare awakens me. To think of all the times I've tried to awaken from this one. I'm glad I never succeeded there now. It's so hard to know how to say these things to the simple minded, but little by little the words come and I break through to them. And is it ego that tells me I am special, I am precious? Is it ego telling me I'm not even human? How can I tell I've set aside ego for good when all I ever thought was, IS, and all I've ever known to be truth is finally being seen by other people? Does even the indigo child pluck so carefully at the strings to orchestrate their life? I am always on borrowed time and feel I don't belong here, but I still do everything in my power to play the game fair. I've known just what to do to avoid death, but I skip along with it happily, welcoming the freedom at every turn. Inviting death, but denying it too. Every turn but this one. Every time but now. All I wanted to do all my life was die, but now I don't. It makes me wonder how many times I've failed at this. I wonder how responsible I am for the coming ascension, how responsible I am for the world we all live in. Where does my dream end and yours begin?
