The Spell Is Broken

 

There once was a man who lived in a valley at the base of a tall and mighty mountain.

He was hypnotized by its echos,

Day and night.

Night and day.

These echos were full of pain and pleasure.

Fear arose from the pain.

Happiness arose from the pleasure.

He found himself both resisting pain and clinging to pleasure

Day and night.

Night and day.

Then one day, the pleasure ended

And pain increased.

And all he was left with was more resistance to pain.

He suffered in desperation for years & years,

Longing for happy echos, to get rid of his pain.

Until he lost all desire for happy echos completely,

And sunk into the black pit of despair.

 

Then one night, he had a dream

And dreamt that he embodied the Tall and Mighty mountain

Expansive, Beautiful & Free.

He was graced with Wisdom & Love

And the Beautiful Bright Blue Sea.

He knew no more echos of pain or pleasure;

No echos of desire or fear.

He knew no echos at all,

For He stood as this Tall & Mighty Mountain,

And all He knew was Himself.

Then, in all His Wisdom & Love,

He gently brought down His gaze to the man below

And spoke with Great Compassion and Understanding:

“My dear one,

I am Here. I am Here.

Your hypnosis has ended.

The spell is broken.

See beyond the echos, and see only Me.

Peaceful and True,

Know only Me.

Know there is nothing to resist Here

Nothing for which to long,

For echos do not exist at all.

It is Here you truly belong.

Listen only to the Wisdom and Love from My Voice above,

And let It be known:

Seeing what I see is your Freedom from desire.

Hearing what I hear is your Freedom from fear.

Knowing what I know is your Peace & Well-Being.”

And with that, the dream ended.

When the man awoke from his dream,

He found himself no longer under the spell of echos.

Beauty and Love took their place.

For all was silent and still,

And he knew to keep his gaze on the Tall & Mighty Mountain alone,

And remember his True Nature.

He was a Tall & Mighty Mountain,

Peaceful and Free.
