The Pepperman and the Ancient World of Wisdom

I PRESENT YOU THIS BOOK.
IT TRULY HAS POWER.
IT'S NOT VERY LONG.
YOU CAN READ IN AN HOUR.
I WON'T GUARANTY 
IT'LL MAKE YOU REAL SMART.
BUT, IF YOU CAN READ,
IT'S A VERY GOOD START.
YOU MIGHT READ IT TWICE,
TO LET IT SINK IN.
ONCE UNDERSTOOD 
THE JOURNEY BEGINS.


I OPENED A DOOR IN THE UNIVERSE.
ONLY TO FIND MYSELF,
SURROUNDED BY ANCIENT WISDOM.
SPIRITUAL LIKE BEINGS
DRAPED IN A WHITE FABRIC
THAT SEEMED TO SPARKLE,
WITH WHAT APPEARED TO BE
DIAMOND DUST.

THE ATMOSPHERE 
WAS REMARKABLY COMFORTABLE.
SUSPENDED IN A POSITION
WHERE I COULD SEE THE STARS
ABOVE, BELOW AND BEYOND.
I WAS FASCINATED
WITH MY SURROUNDINGS.

ENOUGH LIGHT TO SEE EVERYTHING
AND EVERYONE.
ENOUGH DARKNESS
TO SEE THE UNIVERSE
AND THE MILLIONS 
OF LIGHT YEARS BEFORE ME.

SEEING HOW FASCINATED I WAS
WITH MY SURROUNDINGS,
EVERYONE JUST SMILED
AS IF TO WELCOME ME.
AS IF THEY WERE EXPECTING ME.

IN A VERY SOFT
AND GENTLE VOICE.
ONE SPOKE THE WORDS.
SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE
ARE WAITING TO BE UNLEASHED.
YOU CAN NOT
MAKE WISE DECISIONS
IF YOU ARE RESTRICTED
IN THOUGHT,
LIMITED IN UNDERSTANDING
AND NO IMAGINATION.

THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE
BELONG TO YOU.
SET FREE
THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE
AND YOU SHALL UNDERSTAND,
WHO YOU ARE.
YOU WILL REALIZE
WHAT YOU ARE.
YOU WILL KNOW
FROM WHERE YOU CAME
AND HOW YOU ARRIVED HERE.
TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU ARE DOING HERE,
ALLOWS YOU
TO ASK YOURSELF
THE QUESTION,WHERE AM I GOING.
ONLY THEN
WILL YOUR IMAGINATION
SET YOU FREE
TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS
GOING FORWARD.

MYSTERIOUSLY,
THE ROBES OF WHITE FABRIC,
THAT SEEMED TO SPARKLE
WITH WHAT APPEARED TO BE
DIAMOND DUST, TRANSFORMED
INTO A SPARKLING MIST.
A VERY COOL AND REFRESHING MIST.
THE MIST ATTACHED IT'S SELF TO ME.
FASCINATINGLY, THE MIST
TURNED INTO A MAGNIFICENT,
DEEP DARK BLUE SAPPHIRE COLOR.

THE STARS AND HEAVENS
BEGAN TO SWIRL.
CREATING A PATH 
ON WHICH TO TRAVEL.
THIS WAS THE ROAD OF EXISTENCE,
TIME, BEING AND UNDERSTANDING.

I SENSED I WAS NOT ALONE.
I FELT I WAS EMBRACED BY 
TRANQUILITY.
I FOUND MYSELF, 
STANDING ON THIS ROAD
MADE UP OF SMALL STONES.
THEY APPEARED TO BE OF 
DIFFERENT COLORS.
I REACHED DOWN 
AND PICKED A FEW.

UPON CLOSER INSPECTION
I REALIZED THEY WERE UNPOLISHED
GEM STONES.
I COULD FEEL THE ENERGY OR 
FREQUENCIES RADIATING.
IT INSTANTLY BECAME CLEAR
AND I UNDERSTOOD WHY 
ANCIENT EGYPTIAN PHARAOHS
WORE BREAST PLATES
WITH MANY DIFFERENT GEM STONES.

I THOUGHT ABOUT THE ROAD 
THE STONES AND I REALIZED.
EACH AND EVERY STONE WAS CREATED
DURING EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE
IN THE UNIVERSE.
SOME COULD BE MEASURED IN LIGHT YEARS.
MILLIONS OF LIGHT YEARS.
THE ENERGY OR FREQUENCY THEY
POSSESS OR RADIATE IS LIFE.
ANCIENT LIFE FORM.
SOME WERE MORE RECENT.
SUCH AS THE SUN STONE.
A BEAUTIFUL STONE.
I COULD EASILY VISUALIZE
THIS STONE POLISHED.
CAPTIVATING, MESMERIZING.
A CREATION WORTHY OF PRAISE.

I TURNED AROUND.
THERE WAS NO ROAD BEHIND ME.
I WAS AT THE BEGINNING OF A ROAD,
CREATED OF UNPOLISHED GEM STONES.
THE THOUGHT, A PRICELESS JOURNEY,
DID CROSS MY MIND.
I WAS ABOUT TO JOURNEY DOWN A ROAD
WITH ONLY ONE DIRECTION.
I STARTED THIS JOURNEY
WITH AN OPEN MIND,
PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY 
AWARE OF MY SURROUNDINGS.

WITH OUT FEAR, I STARTED WALKING.
I HAD NO SENSE OF TIME, 
AS FAR AS HOURS AND MINUTES.
THE TIME WAS PRESENT, PAST AND FUTURE
AT THE VERY SAME TIME.
DISTANCE WAS INFINITE.
I FELT I WAS ON A MISSION.
SOMETHING I SHOULD DO IN MY LIFE.
SOMETHING I NEEDED TO DO IN LIFE.
MY PACE WAS A BRISK WALK.
I FELT I WAS WALKING FORWARD
INTO THE PAST.
