Letters From Bill : Belo Horizonte, Brazil : April 23rd, 2010
"Today the Whole of humanity stands on the threshold of a new era. Consequently you have been guided to these words by those powers which guide the life and death of every living being on this earth. In accordance with the ancient prophecy of a Universal Mind, you have been chosen. By virtue of this you can no longer plead ignorance. Right now the Spirit is knocking upon your door. You can open the door if you wish, or you may ignore the knock. You can if you wish seize your fleeting moment of chance and go with the Spirit, or you can return to your present existence if that is what your heart is telling you to do.
However, before making your decision, ask yourself this question: ‘Does my path have a heart?’
I cannot possibly answer this question for you, nor can I truly express the poignancy of all that has to be imparted at this point. Instead, I offer you the moving words of Walter de la Mare. In his poem, The Listeners, de la Mare expresses the mood and intensity of this moment most profoundly.
‘Is there anybody there?’ said the Traveller,
Knocking on the moonlit door;
And his horse in the silence champed the grasses
Of the forest’s ferny floor:
And a bird flew up out of the turret,
Above the Traveller’s head:
And he smote upon the door again a second time;
‘Is there anybody there?’ he said.
But no one descended to the Traveller;
No head from the leaf-fringed sill
Leaned over and looked into his grey eyes,
Where he stood perplexed and still.
But only a host of phantom listeners
That dwelt in the lone house then
Stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight
To that voice from the world of men:
Stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair,
That goes down to the empty hall,
Hearkening in an air stirred and shaken
By the lonely Traveller’s call.
And he felt in his heart their strangeness,
Their stillness answering his cry,
While his horse moved, cropping the dark turf,
‘Neath the starred and leafy sky;
For he suddenly smote on the door, even
Louder, and lifted his head:-
‘Tell them I came, and no one answered,
That I kept my word,’ he said.
Never the least stir made the listeners,
Though every word he spake
Fell echoing through the shadowiness of the still house
From the one man left awake:
Ay, they heard his foot upon the stirrup,
And the sound of the iron on the stone,
And how the silence surged softly backward,
When the plunging hoofs were gone.
Should you decide that your present path offers you the fulfillment you desire, then there is no need for you to open the door. Put these words quietly out of your mind, but remember one thing- the Spirit comes only once in the life of every man. Life does not permit itself to be repeated for this would cause stagnation. To believe that there will be time to catch up later is a fool’s game, because after the Spirit has knocked it waits but a moment before it leaves. In this respect man’s only constant companion throughout life is death, who of course offers us no guarantees on life.
If, on the other hand, you should choose to answer the knock upon your door, then remember that you will be choosing a path of no return. Once one embarks upon the Path of Freedom one’s life becomes irrevocably changed, and that change does not permit one to hold onto one’s previous existence. "
‘We returned to our places, these Kingdoms,
But no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation,
With an alien people clutching their gods.
I should be glad of another death.’
Return of the Warriors by Theun Mares Page 167-170
We are often asked, “ Why so many articles?”.
Simple: We are trying to upgrade the industry.
Many in the business know nothing, about Vogel wands or even crystals, except what they see on the web or written in books. Of course, they will vehemently disagree, but I am talking about really deep knowledge here. Only the knowledge, acquired after penetrating a few of the veils. This knowledge does not come from classes, the web, books, or listening to a few “teachers”. Actually, few teachers posses deep knowledge, sorry.
Yes, I understand, that is a judgment call. Don’t care.
Am I arrogant? Don’t think so. Actually, those that know me, agree.
However, I do have the experience, knowledge and lack of concern for what people think of me, to step up and say ”BULL” from time to time. There is simply too much shallow stuff, passed around as, “Oh wow, really deep knowledge” in this business. If the teacher has not spent weeks/months/years wandering with crystals in nature, perhaps they are not there yet. Sorry, there simply is no quick fix. Often people visit my store and seem to want someone to wave a hand across their body so they may ascend. Nope, not happening. You must prepare to spend a huge amount of solitary time wandering in nature with your crystals, hunkering down as lightening slams around you, watching a deer feed its fawn, tracking a bear, (at least in the snow..smile..) sitting silently by a stream and so much more. Otherwise, how in the world, do you expect to connect with Spirit or an entity, that is the personification of nature and Spirit itself, the quartz crystal.
It certainly can’t be done at a seminar, dancing around, hugging, “saying how great we all are, we deserve it, I am channeling a very high being that knows all things, I am a healer, I am a Shaman, I am a master, I am a crystal master, I am from another planet, I am psychic, I have expanded my heart chakra to all the universe“. The “feel good” list is boringly endless. Sounds like a school pep rally, doesn‘t it? Remember when winning the game was everything? Then its over. We go on. We eventually realize, if we are thinkers at all, that our lives were not all that affected.
True and deep knowledge WILL change and affect your life. However, you WILL be required to step out, be responsible for your own walk to Spirit, and expect to spend all of this lifetime in pursuit of the unattainable.
Do you want it or not?
