The Pepperman and the Ancient World of Wisdom Part Ii

WITH A MAGNIFICENT VIEW 
OF THE UNIVERSE,
ONE HAS TO ASK THEMSELVES,
HOW DO THEY 
UNDERSTAND THE UNIVERSE.
IS THE UNIVERSE ALIVE?
IF I HAVE THE ABILITY TO THINK,
DOES THE UNIVERSE IT SELF...
THINK OR HAVE THOUGHTS?
I THINK AND SPEAK MY THOUGHTS
OR WORDS AND HAVE TO 
ASK MYSELF...
ARE THEY RELEASED INTO...
OR... OUT INTO THE UNIVERSE.
ARE THEY REALLY MY THOUGHTS 
OR THOUGHTS OF THE UNIVERSE.

AFTER MANY THOUSANDS OF STEPS,
I NOTICED THE ROAD BEGAN TO GLOW,
AS IF THERE WERE A LIGHT SHINNING
FROM BENEATH THE ROAD.
I COULD SEE MANY DIFFERENT
COLORS AND BEAM OR RAYS.
AS IF THE LIGHT WERE REFRACTED.

I STOOD AND WATCHED THE ROAD
COME TO LIFE.
I TOUCHED THE SURFACE,
MY CURIOSITY PUSHED MY FINGERS
BELOW THE SURFACE.
MY ENTIRE RIGHT HAND 
WAS SUBMERGED.
I COULD HEAR THE FREQUENCIES.
I COULD FEEL THE FREQUENCIES
CREATING A MAGNIFICENT PULSE,
AS IF IT WERE BREATHING.
AT THE SAME TIME
I COULD FEEL MY OWN PULSE 
AND HEAR MY OWN HART BEAT.
IT FELT AND SOUND LIKE 
A SYMPHONY.

I COULD SMELL A STRONG AROMA
OF LILACS.
I HAD THIS THOUGHT AND FEELING
OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATION.
I TRIED TO UNDERSTAND THE 
EXPERIENCE.
I FELT IT WAS A MESSAGE BEING
DELIVERED.

THE FREQUENCIES DISSIPATED.
I COULD HEAR WHAT SOUND LIKE 
WATER, TRICKLING INTO A POOL
OF WATER.
IT WAS A HYPNOTIC SOUND.
VERY SOOTHING COMFORTING
AND RELAXING.

JUST OVER THE SIDE OF THE ROAD,
I COULD SEE THE RIPPLES ON TOP
A SMALL POOL OF WATER.
I COULD NOT SEE FROM WHERE 
THE WATER WAS COMING.
I COULD SEE THE CENTER 
OF THE RIPPLES.
I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING
LANDING IN THAT SPOT.

SOMETHING, SOMEONE, 
SOME TYPE OF PROFOUND THOUGHT,
SUGGESTED I REJUVENATE MYSELF.
I CUPPED MY HANDS AND BROUGHT
THE WATER TO MY LIPS.

IT WAS COOL AND VERY REFRESHING.
I HAD THIS PROFOUND THOUGHT,
THIS WATER WAS FILTERED BY THE 
GEMSTONES AND ENRICHED 
WITH FREQUENCIES.
I COULD FEEL THIS WATER TRAVEL
THROUGHOUT MY BEING.
ENERGIZING ME BEYOND MY BELIEF.
THIS WAS INCREDIBLE ENERGY.

I COULD HEAR IN MY MIND SOMEONE
SAY, THIS IS THE PURIST OF ENERGY
IN THE UNIVERSE.
THE TRICKLING SOUND VANISHED
AS DID THE POND.
I FELT ENLIGHTENED AND HUMBLED.

OBVIOUSLY I WAS NOT ALONE.
SOMEONE WAS WATCHING OVER ME.
GUIDING ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
I JUST HAD TO SMILE AND SAY TO MYSELF
I AM ON THE ONLY ROAD AND THERE IS
NO TURNING BACK.

COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDING
WATER IS LIFE AND LIFE IS ENERGY.
I AM A FREQUENCY, REFLECTING
AN ENERGY OF THE UNIVERSE.
I AM THE BEGINNING 
OF A NEW CIVILIZATION.
