Finding and becoming the path

Jay is out walking in the nearby mountains. He feels well being outside again.

The fresh air and the smell of of herbs like oregano, thyme and basilikum...

He reaches the top of of the closest hill and is astonished by his lack of power as he sits down on a boulder

The view is magnificent.

From here he can see most of the eastern part of the island

He turns around and and has a spectacular view of the Mediterranean Sea. In the west there's a haze looming

and he knows that behind it lies Libya and the continent of Africa. He turns northwards and now he has a view of the enormous

bay outside Iraklion.

The colour of the sea is amazing this early morning and he feels happy to be here and to be able to take in the beauty and the pleasure

of the whole scenery opening up for him.

All around him there are mountains and olive trees and the smell of the sea is coming up to lick his nostrils.

Below him he can see the waves thundering in on the beaches along the coast. small, white fishing boats are out to pick up the night's catch from the nets

that has been placed there yesterday..

He is grateful to be here on this beautiful island, but a slight sadness is seeping into his mind as he knows that he will be going on to other places, realms and levels

very soon. Tears are filling his eyes as he says:"thank you, thank you!"

He rises up from his stone and starts to walk down the path he has just climbed up a few minutes ago. He becomes aware of an image that's followed him since

he was a boy; several years older than L.J.

He sees himself going down a steep path like the one he is walking now.

He is dressed in a white robe and he is not alone; behind comes to men dressed as him in white robes.

They have just given him a disturbing message; he has to go down to the planet he has been living on before.

they assure him that will be the last time for him.

He turns to them saying: "I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THAT DREADFUL PLACE AGAIN; I have suffered enough on that planet

and through too many lives!"

Both men look at him and says he just has to and that this will be the last time ever.

For the first time he feels anger in this place; first of all towards these men and then with the whole idea of venturing

to Tellus again... His last words to them are: " this is wrong!" You are making a mistake!'

As he is walking down the path he is now quite sure that it probably was for the best for him...

He continues his climb down the last steep part of the path until he reaches to the small and narrow gorge leading up to the closest and highest peak in this area.

He feels a little lost in the images of his two followers and himself and he is not aware of the creek in front of him and the big slabs of stone lying scattered

around in the water...

He walks on and stumbles and falls headlong into the water. He can feel that his forehead is cracking when he hits the rocks.

He can see the water being coloured red by his blood... "So much", he thinks and then everything around him fades...

He suddenly finds himself on board a river boat.

He is alone and he doesn't know how the boat can go upstreams as it does. He cannot hear any engine running and there's no sails.

Most of all; there's no crew on board, he seems to be alone in this boat and in this wide and green river. It's hot and the riverbanks are covered

with trees of all sizes.  
There are monkeys roaming around and making a lot of noise when they are fighting each other...

The twitter of birds is loud too; there's must be hundreds of them! In the green water there are creatures swimming and now and the there are visual signs of them as they are breaking the surface.

The boat just continues it's voyage up the river. In a way he enjoys the ride and the piece of it all, despite the sounds from animals and birds.

He can hear the constant splatter of water as the bow is pushing it aside. It's a steady sound that makes him dizzy. Soon he enters into a meditative

state and feels more and more relaxed.

It seems like a long time has passed, but he doesn't actually know how long; as he has no sense of time. The sun seems to be in the same position all the time...

Up ahead he can hear the sound of a waterfall, that has to be big; by the sound of it. Soon he can see it in the distance. As the boat comes closer to it he is amazed by the tumbling cascades of water; falling, falling...

Soon the boat is slowing down its speed and makes a turn to the left where he can spot a big pond just beneath the waterfall, but still there's a long distance to cover before he reaches it.

After a while the speed is reduced even more as they pass some enormous boulders that acts like walls around the pond. They pass by the boulders and then the boat turns to the right and they enter into the pond through a narrow gap in the wall...

The boat floats by itself towards a small and sandy beach with trees and beautiful flowers along it.

There's someone sitting underneath a flowering tree. The person rises up by the sight of the boat coming towards the beach. It's a boy and he waves at him.

Jay is confused now, but still he feels that everything is going to be fine. As the boat is approaching he realizes that the boy is L.J. His whole body is shining with a turquoise colour. All the vegetation is covered in the same kind of aura he remembers so well from his visions as L.J.

Jay feels that it's done for him; his arduous journey is about to end here in this little paradise.

He smiles and waves back at the boy. Soon the bow touches with the beach and the boat halts.

L.J. comes up alongside it and holds out his hand to Jay. Jay takes it and just flies out of the boat;as if there is no gravity in this place...

He touches ground and the two of them walk hand in hand underneath the shadows of the trees and sits down.

They sit in silence for a while and Jay just has to ask where they are. L.J. smiles and says; "maybe this is a spot made only for us,

maybe it is a place on the planet and maybe it's just a mirage...

It doesn't matter, Jay, we have reached the final goal for our journey and we will soon witness a great miracle for both of us..."

Jay looks at him and and realizes that he has grown thinner. He is almost transparent now. L.J. turns to him. He smiles and says: " I am dissolving Jay. the more I become a part of you, the more I will fade away, but I will be a part of you and we will be as one again, but this time as something else than these bodies. Take a look at yourself, Jay!"

Jay looks down his body and notices that he is covered with something looking like a cocoon and it shines in the same turquoise colour as L.J. Inside he sees his body and it is shining and vibrating now.

L.J. takes his hand and says:" Come with me Jay and we will go for a walk you haven't done before." They rise up and walk into the water.

Soon they are submerged, but Jay can still breathe. L.J. stops and turns to Jay and says: "thank you for being brave enough to take this journey with me!"

Then Jay is shocked as the boy floats into his body and disappears. "I am still here"; Jay hears the well known voice of the boy say, "but now I am only you!"

Then Jay wakes up and floats up to the surface again. He is immensely happy! He knows, he knows.

"I know it all now!" he whispers to himself...
