Chung has been searching and learning but he carries the pain of lost love in his heart that only Orpheus would understand. With the help of the Great White Eagle of the North, he crosses into different dimensions at sunset as that is when the dimensions open to someone with great personal power.

As we journey through Life, ups and downs are found by us all. In this journey, I have met many individuals who helped me form my thoughts on Life and Death. I have had three life-threatening medical problems, and by all statistics, I should be dead. Maybe my reason to still be here is to share some stories and myths and legends. “Near-death experiences, you say?” Perhaps I will find out some day.

Mystical Memories

Echo Elocuously throughout the Eons

We are all connected in Love’s energy mystical might. Where you end…I am there… in the blue-black of Knight. We merge in the oneness and, with Venus’s blush upon our face, a New born Universe is embraced. In the undulation of rhythmical love, this new Universe, this new state Extant, is able to take its first nubile breath and begin its flight into the dawning light filled with a newborn baby’s happy sighs…and seeks Eternity’s Sunrise.

As your desire is, so is your will

As your will is, so is your deed.

As your deed is, so is your Destiny.

– Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (IV.4.5)¹

Music: Elika Mahony Glimmerings Glimmerings 2012 very beautiful piano some vocal take a listen—

There…glistening on the horizon…a Cosmic Moment is about to be born. The Spirit of a Cosmic Soul reaches across time… space…gravity and dimensions…to touch the thoughts of the Other…in a whisper.

A whisper…can you hear the Whisper? A whisper is softly drifting on the winds and mist of Time…a silent afterthought, if you will, ripples in the gentle waves of the subconscious; that awakens in the Other… as in a distant dream… Floating… as if a leaf on the wind… Watch me soar…into Dawn’s consciousness…with songs of Evermore!

A moment of truth…a time of understanding is thus awakened in the Spirit of the Cosmic … Eternal Soul. In that moment of truth, in that moment of understanding a new beginning, a new being is found who will ride the wings of Time to be like the sun and caress the dawn with her Soul’s most verdant light.

Earth Winds ‘n Fire amidst Rains ‘n Ether…of the mire…all give birth to hidden memories and desires. The Cosmic Consciousness drifts where infinite memories waft undulating in Eternity’s Sunrise’s Mystic Vail of Dreams. Ah yes, what is this? The smell of a campfire’s smoke, a dream…oh, but to dream…nothing…revives realms of memories past… as vividly as its wondrous smell at a campfire repast. This wafting campfire smoke caught on the wind spoke of hidden heroics and desires which have yet to begin.

The campfire smoke filled the air with the pure essence of Cedar scent. Yes, the scent of Cedar so well known to cleanse the spiritual vibrations whole and pure of times unspoken…of times unknown.

The Old Man’s stare at the campfire’s burning yellow-white Kensho-light² had a hypnotic effect on all…of all…who have joined the Ancient around this ethereal site.

The hot coals burst…exploding…crackling shooting fiery red sparks… arcing in the blue-black darkness of the Knight’s firmament. These hot coals are full of Mystical Memories waiting to be found.

Many sat around the campfire of this unknown place. Many were eager to hear the old man capture a story and begin his telling. Some put extra wood on the fire. Some put a robe of pure white silken fur by his side for warmth to soothe and spur his desire. All to please this old man so he would continue his raconteur of that legendary most Mystical Warrior…that most Mythical Fiery Warrior whose blood would boil simultaneously with his multiple Warrior Beasts. Warrior Spiritual Beast could merge with Chung and join in the feast of disposing the evil festering slime.

Music: Karen Marie Garrett Tally’s Lullaby It’s about the Rose 2006 would be Perfect here!!

These Mystical Warrior Beasts, actually so mythical but yet are so real. They are found in songs and legends and cave drawn memories and oral tradition trails!

Each has a story on how they, one by one over time, joined with Chung. They are all one with the blood of Chung.

First the Blood Dragon picked out by Dragos king of the dragons who resides in the Northern Constellation. A gift, a blessing, given by Dragos and Oden of the Norse legends to the very young Chung.

The calling upon the monster Blood Dragon

Ghost of the Mountains

The pure snow white Leopard, over the eons, has been referred to as the Ghost of the Himalayan Mountains. The highest mountain range on earth and she guards the mountain and the whole of earth from her lofty perch. Called Ghost of the Mountains a snow white lioness, an ancient mountain Leopard. She is only found, only seen in Legends, unless she teams up with Chung then the two, as a fighting unite, are truly most impressive.

The Great White Bison of the Plains. He is magnificent to see. He joined Chung of his own volition, joined to fight in battles with Chung if Chung would call upon him. He can change his size to most massive proportions, actually to the size of a planet or a sun.

The Flying Horse with massive wings who can fly to the ends of eternity in just a few blinks of the eye!

The Chimera³ is most mystical and magical and horrifically impressive. She was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna both Titans. Her siblings were Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra. She joined Chung of her own volition. Chung got so angry in a battle one day that the Chimera left Eternity’s Mist to see what all the intensity was about! She enjoys a good fight!

The Chimera has many physical forms. The one that emerged from the Mist that fateful day was the three headed dragon, lion’s legs and body and a tail of a snake who possess very strong venom.

And there is the Flying Bull a most massive animal and wonderful to call on to join a battle.

We cannot forget Fierce who is Chung’s war horse. He has joined Chung in almost all battles. He can travel the Vortex portals like the Ancient so he can be available at a moment’s notice.

The Great White Eagle of the North is not a warrior beast but a true guardian of Chung and an observer and recorder of events. He is an eternal companion of Chung. He is a protective spirit that gives all the clues for Chung to survive in the form of knowledge. Knowledge of martial arts, Knowledge of medicinal herbs, Knowledge of how to call for assistance.

Music: The Sea Whisperer Lisa Gerrard The Silver tree vocal Gallic ethereal

Artistic representation of Boundaries of Universe with Infinity Knowledge

Quiet was the night as was the group listened around the fire that echoed the memories of the eon’s hidden flight. The raconteur begins.

The old man pulled the white robe of Bison hide up around him. His meditative stare at the dancing flames and erupting blue coals began to reveal…

The Memory’s mist…molting…melding…melting…in Harmonious Universal Melodies showering memories of Love…Lingering…Longing…Peace and Understanding…Flights that All remain Free and that He and She may Kiss the Joy as it flies soaring heavenly…in the Warmth of Eternity’s Sunrise Reveries.

The old man seemed to be watching…watching memories of futures past unfold so as to be foretold.

Music: Thinking of You (Australian Lullaby) Fiona Joy Hawkins-Angel Above My Piano would go well here.

The greatest legends are whispered among the Stars---always remember that softly spoke the Ancient with his words echoing within the wind as he resides in two universes.

All find themselves whirling, whirling, warm in Knowledge, above the universe in front of them staring…staring…at this ancient campfire with erupting coals that gave birth to the shooting stars brought an iridescent light and caressed the darkness of the newborn night.

The Ancient whispered to only those with eyes that hear and ears that see!

The erupting coals sing of Souls linked throughout Eons of Eternities. These souls are connected by ancient births and myths that ripple and merge and dance across Mists of Reveries Eternity’s Eternities; all in the search of the many secrets…The eternal search for the secrets of the Soul!

Music: Karen Marie Garrett, it’s about the Rose in the vase on the table is perfect here.

Harmonic Convergence cascaded through the rhythms of the universe…singing of Love and Freedom…Peace and Understanding…for all.

Chung had merged with these rhythms on that early morning day echoing the crashing waves of awakening twilight’s insights.

The fresh mountain air titillated of soft moisture’s sweet with the fragrance of spring’s carpet blossoming flowers…filling the early morning heart beats with…breaths of a new day’s loving powers.

With the wind in his face…caresses of love from Mother Gaia’s grace…breast’s hold mystical Beats…heart soars…Mother Gaia joins Chung riding the rhythms of the Universe. Wave upon wave … cascade upon Love’s purple haze with blue and green and violet…all to be seen…Butterflies become colorful raindrops of time embracing rhythms of hope and dreams and sore on rhythms of truths exploding into wondrous Universal stardust unseen…blessing… soothing…singing…of times of gentle bloom of youth’s blossoming peace.

Such can the Harmonic Convergence of the Universe Be !

Spring flowers blossom with sun-flare in back ground

A blink of an eye, a realization, and a moment of awareness…how bright the sun is…Ah, yes…this brightness is the morning’s sky. The scent of Cherry Blossoms on the wind. Ah, yes… a call to all that can hear. The battle cry!"

So reveled Chung in a meditative stare, in meditative grace.

Tonto

Tonto what the hell did you do?

I didn’t do anything, sir!

Something blew that is for sure. Shouted the Captain over the noise.

Bridget, can you control the ship any better? I will try sir, but the controls are responding slowly.

Hey, Bridget are we going to crash into this planet? Asked Tonto.

I don’t know Tonto. I think I can land this thing or, maybe, we will all go up in a Hugh Fire Ball said Bridget with a smile.

Thanks said Corporal Longbow! Everyone liked Corporal Longbow most called him Tonto!

Captain Adams was a stern captain but a fair one and, in private, he sure could play poker!

Corporal Honeywell was someone to handle with care. Perhaps because she was such a remarkable beauty of a woman that she usually started all interactions with a fighting form verbal or combat mannerism.

Bridget shouted over the noise, Captain, better have everyone be seated and buckle up as we are starting our descent!

As all were seating, Captain Adams walked up beside Corporal Fordall who was feverishly working the controls. In a quiet tone, the Captain said, Bridget what do you think of our chances of landing safely?

Well, Captain these shuttle pods were not built for this dense atmosphere of this planet but …what the hell!

Let’s see what it will do…besides, Sir, all will happen so fast we will not know what hit us.

Captain? Yes, Bridget.

Do you believe in Miracles?

The Truth?

Yes, Sir.

Why Yes, Yes I do. Bridget looked away from the control panel into the calm face of the Captain and stared into his soft blue eyes.

OK, Captain let us see if we can pull off a miracle!

The Captain stared into the cat-green eyes of Bridget, and her soft green fur skin was always beautiful to see. Her tail was to be watched out for as when excited her tail wiped about in a frenzy and whoa to those hit by it! Such beauty from the joining of feline DNA with her native DNA.

Chung looking at the bright fiery object in the sky

Chung sat Buddha style in meditation. His meditation was broken by a loud noise high in the sky. He looked up at the bright fiery object in the heavens. The breeze was soft, and the birds sang of gentleness…Brother Crow called of urgency. A praying mantis fluttered through the air and landed on Chung’s nose.

Chung said, I hear you, my friends. Shall we help? Chung sat cross-leg and quieted his mind. He knew to find his spirit Blood Dragon he had to go to No-Mind. Chung sat cross-leg and quieted his mind. He knew to find his spirit Dragon he had to go to No- Mind! ⁴

As Chung settled his mind, the words of the Ancient whispered through his mind’s memories, like a soft mild afternoon breeze both warm and sweet. Remember to find the Freehold castle on the continent of Eros…There your Blood Dragon dwells with other warrior dragon beasts.

The fiery whispers are of memories deep…of time before time... of Castle keep, of Castle steep, there so true so real would find the mightiest of Blood Dragons roaring against time, roaring to drink the sangreal*! (*sangreal=royal blood see DaVinci Code)

To battle…to battle roar…they must join in…to participate…Oh…to breathe again with warrior’s might! Hungrily anticipated the Dragon’s Flight!

Oh to Soar on the wind with outstretched wings, high in the sky to the warmth of the sun then dive headlong into battles to be won!

It is a wonderful gift from Father Oden to have a Blood Dragon, said the Ancient. However, to call on this powerful spirit, you will have to go to No-Mind. Only there will you be able to find him and talk to him.
