Secret of Youth Part II

Continued from previous part...
" -If you listened to me carefully,you should be aware of past souls to walk
in dreams.. ...they don't like daylight and never give themselves up before
the darkness.It is lesson from last time,about beauty.....

-So,it seems everything has own order,regardless of being live or dead!

-It may sound astonishing but it is the very truth.-a man's power lies in his ability to receive and hold everything in own consciousness,and make it a source of the fulfillment of all desires.

MIND is the greatest secret,yet unknown to a man as a whole.All the world you keep in your mind,and everything is possible.
But it needs peace and love too.

As soon as you get yourself in the condition of serene mind everything around you becomes jubilant and dances its true color...

The Rainbows

There is something i miss here..-You said colored,but i didn't see the hues of my joy and happiness...it is hidden,wisest way....of course.......

-It is light to hide its colors and only in the moments of greatest happiness makes an appearance in outer world..... you see it like a rainbow;your mind does the same....it is the waves and you can't see them,they live on another frequency.

You say light,but .....soon i said that,it reached my reason that it is mind to have own colors,so i can feel ......  ....there is no difference of being night or day.

-It is your aura..radiance around your whole being!Every one of us radiate;it is enough to make a contact with somebody,and regardless of being near or far away,you can feel their radiance.If one make you uncomfortable then it appears that such person has abundant negativity.....look for others to match your level of awareness and stay with them..

-You speak about "power of mind",i practiced on my own...i can direct my thoughts to something or someone;sometimes there might be a negative wave,which is not good,i constantly think of that and how to help myself staying healthy.
-Harmony is about matching energies-isn't?

-All the nature lives in a harmony,and humans make lots of unfortunate events by sending their negative impulses around.
I kept thinking about the flower and the smell i felt,and it was very interesting for me to know more.It caught the attention of my friend very soon.-Flower as a living being is able to receive our energy..so it can be an answer on the signals you send.

I remembered a time when i was lost in some kind of obscurity,which misled me into recognizing the clarity between worlds...

-Madness is just a state of confusion...too much thinking and too much negativity..that is why it has been painted with lots of striking colors...

I immediately thought of Vincent Van Gogh and his madness to bring him into making the most attractive colors ever...

-An artist is the gifted man to see more than ordinary eye...it is the colors coming from his soul to make him paint own feelings.
Though they are only the servants....it is the glory of God to shine over enchanting landscapes,mountains,rivers and all the rest beautiful views around the world.

And i myself while writing seems to be just a servant..at least i am trying to use such a grandiose will and make something more than an ordinary life offers me.

To approve the meaning of our journey i asked permission to perform magic and put some color on a strange flower that we walked by.I lent some of a purple hue from a nearby flower already painted,and scattered on its fragile body..What a surprise!It was my lilac,favorite flower!Someone before me took his chance and painted my lilacs!I was thinking about the lilacs in my village i love the most,where i grew up surrounded with the trees and that lovable picture became an everlasting memory.I loved its seducing smell and beautiful purple petals,and began to trust how someone made them purple because of me!Nothing happens by accident,and again everything happens by accident!

Water Lilies Red

Even while going through an unrecognizable and murky world,some prior warmth transmitted itself and brought my lovely memories.What a love can do!
I was very happy and thankful for the chance to paint the flower of my youngest days.
Never miss a chance of making a wonder around!

Now i know you think of most loved and most beautiful flowers.Competition!That was next idea i got!My wise friend stole my thought-In LOVE there should not be competition!Love is not supposed to be a subject of competition...you should just love someone without making rivals..Love is such a serene and noble feeling,it doesn't deserve being insulted!
If you make it the field of a game,then there is no genuine love,or you have no respect and knowledge of the truest and most precious gifts on Earth.

Imagine what would happen if the whole nature started a contest!Go into meadow and look around ..how many wonderful flowers to grow!Crimson roses,Blue Daisy,Water Lily which gained its fame from the paintings of Claude Monet,seducing and charming Viola,white-yellow Narcissus,Iris,named after the Goddess Iris-Rainbow,orchids in all imaginable colors..,.......


-They don't fight but simply find and keep a place for themselves...a wild rose growing lonely on limestone or sand dunes,saves its beautiful shape and scent.It learns us even more,about how to stay beautiful and in love,while being alone.It looks into the Sun to feed its body,and during the nights talks to the Moon ...some of Moon's dreams fall on its petals and keep them in love until the next dream.

I learned from the Moonlight to let love come into my dreams.They keep me being loved and blessed till i fall in love again.



SPECTRAL COLORS

Spectral Colors

Newton first used the word spectrum (Latin for "appearance" or "apparition") in print in 1671 in describing his experiments in optics.
Newton divided the spectrum into seven named colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet

The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light. A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 390 to 750 nm

Secret of Youth

I assume that LOVE was born with coloring the living world.A simple explanation comes from our strongest emotions we feel while being in love,which become lost as the time flies.Then a place where we have been together,or a thing we shared,has not that seducing and magical meaning anymore.....resembling some colors to have fainted,and turned themselves into pale compositions..
It was love to beget a beautiful color and give the sense to everything.

The way i have prepared myself,was excellent point to start out a new voyage with my friend.
-Never look behind in order to bring back the same emotions about some past times and places,they forgot about themselves and lost previous smell and taste-he said wisely as he did when we talk about serious things.
.
-What if i can't let some memories go of me?

-Just hope for another color,previous one has certainly lost its glow.The whole Earth breathes through the great agony to renew itself,by giving births to new lives and saying farewell to old ones.
Love and thirst of knowledge will never die,and people endlessly strive for new truths and loves.

It feels great -i thought about my writing to never bore my readers....and was good for my confidence in writing;as soon as i start something new it would become a beautiful story for i brought it into the life together with you.

The Time of The Lilacs

-There is a constant mistake about us,by always longing for everything to be as we please...but things come and happen in the same way as energy of the Universe moves around.-my wise friend said "us" i am very thankful for that.

-Is it an accident to determinate what the colors to put on yourself and how to paint your everyday life?
Can you choose one to be dominant?

-I know you still dream about the love you had once ..what happened?-a voice of tenderness came from Wizard.

-The greatest and happiest event in my life i was not able to keep alive ..There was too much happiness,too much perfection,..i couldn't stand such an abundance..a human weakness...and a lesson we never learned from the nature,to simply show off our talents and beauty without fears and envy;that is why we take pains and sorrow better than happiness.
we spoiled ourselves alone...we did that,we don't need to search for another being to blame.

-When love is lost,it opens vibrating gates for underground creatures to hunt for our souls and walk into our lives.It is easier for them to come to us,for an abundance of feelings,becomes food for such invisible visitors coming from the darkness.

-It appears with the loss of energy-my conclusion followed,and presumed his answer-Does it mean that all our faults influence the Earth?

-Think of that like negative energy,once collected and erupted from dissatisfaction.

-You mean about volcano,of course..

-Volcano is the suffering of the Earth,like an endless circle of births and deaths,and renewing the whole Universe.But the condition of our body and mind is an easy target for every creature to lurk from the gloom.Being healthy and with bright mind,you are strong and radiate the LIGHT,which frightens them.And light is LOVE .....just to remind you...
Enemy searches for your weakness,and whenever you hate yourself it is an open appeal for troubles ...

-How to get my love back?-i returned to my feelings,being aware that such a visitor played its role in my love,a long time ago/and i really hated myself in that time,but i didn't say anything more/ -Can anyone help me,or maybe i should ask silent demons to make it for me?

-You can wait for a hundred years some things to happen,and they will never be....unless you go to meet them.
So clever,so wise...i thought,and as every wisdom to speak its truth,remains in silence.

Suddenly i felt the scent of the flowers.....
and looked into the eyes of my sweet friend.;there was a confirmation of our magical whisperings,for if you didn't know we whispered,in order not to wake up all the little malicious souls..
-Your tenderness and craving brought to life another sort of flowers..being fed with your love it opened itself to the world.

It is amazing!Imagine,i can make new kind of flower by simply wishing for it;love is by itself a strong desire to breathe new life into everything,or dress something into new robes.
It matters for all the process of renewing the world and us together with animals ...all the living world.
I portended.....it was all about Youth and most desired and magnificent secret of staying young forever!
-bring your best state of mind into life and you have just renewed own organism,cells of your body and mind are refreshed ...and now look at yourself in the mirror ,you will see how you look much younger!
What a precious secret i give away for free!

My wisest friend had an answer ready for me:-What you give,is included in the whole progress you make in self improvement.There must not be any fake thought,any attempt to cheat!Do everything with genuine heart and without restraint!

Of course,love assumes pure heart and honest approach.Jump of happiness now!By means of love you are able to rejuvenate yourself every day...the more love,the youngest you!

-Even more,-said my friend-you can change the world by making new lives and turning existing ones into new form.It is your chance to make some things happen as you please.A lazy and decrepit mind is an issue,not only for an individual, than for all the Universe....yes, laziness is great obstacle for a human being to make more dreams come true.

Orchid and Three Hummingbirds

-As you mention dreams,should i be careful about bringing my real habits and thinking into them?I know that some intensive thoughts i have during the day come into my dreams the same night.

Dreams are very powerful...a dream can make you fall in love with someone-i knew,your first thought was about love..with a smile whispered Wizard.
You should be careful whom to neglect in reality,and let them come into someone else's dream..
Being able to catch everything to happen on the both side of our reality and in each time's dimension,dreams don't recognize whether a soul is from life or death...It is only we to make a difference,and confusion happens in dream..that is how you can speak to and love someone while sleeping.

It seems so gracious,and next time when i have my dreams colored with love,i shall know that a darling missed her lover and forgot how to love
-Dreams are our ally as well;someone you loved might be protective in your dream.

Once again i got a chance to show off myself-But there is a difference between dreams of night and day.
I can't remember i ever had a nice dream during my daily rest.

-If you listened to me carefully,you should be aware of past souls to walk in dreams.. ...they don't like daylight and never give themselves up before the darkness.It is lesson from last time,about beauty.....

The Little Beauty in the Splendour of a World

While still being in the obscureness of a world to have begun its forming,i thought it would be an exceptional experience,whatever it to be,for i am a brave girl, to come down into underground world and look closely at the setting of a complete unknown variety.
My own visions were so poor,but that is why i had my Wizard to take me where no one to walk on the earth,ever set foot on.I was very privileged and proud.

- I know that you have special interest and extraordinary curiosity to go there,so i give you a chance,just once in your life to learn more about your destiny.-cautious words from my friend.
That is when i thought about greatest challenges in life given to us on special occasions.Time is an inscrutable and independent runner,and magic of such a moment knocks on the door of  your life as it pleases,you are there to catch it or not,and then,all the epilogue relies on you;it is like receiving an expensive present,a crystal vase you can keep whole life or smash just after few days....At least a lesson i learned,that such a surprise comes without warning,like a foggy shroud to embrace you...that is how an obsession begins.

Allegory of Painting

Descending into the earthly hallways was not easy task even for my wizard,so he needed to ask for help.I know you are impatient to hear which of all creatures gave a hand and took us bellow the surface.It was a rat!Of course,it is nothing weird since rat lives in dark gates and has been accommodated to a subterranean ambient.Being caught in the blackness forever,there must have been something more of mystery,and i couldn't help myself but ask my friend about its transformation.

-A mouse is by nature a very curious animal,and such a feature defined its fate.He took a journey one day and run into the gates where dead soul dwell,and eagerly jerked his nose into hidden knowledge,while trying to unlock a sealed shrine to steal their secrets.He was caught,but some of that occult treasury he thrived to save till present days.

-Was it a reason to stay uncolored?-once again i got a chance to show off.

And an answer from my friend thereby came more like a confirmation-He was punished to stay gray forever.

I didn't forget our 'colored' friends', but they already belonged to other existence and it might put their lives at greater risk.

-If you get into unknown surrounding,just let yourself be led ...it is where having the sense of sight is no necessary

  -The truth is never given to someone in the way he wants..it is always another one and different approach.That is where most people mistake.They are so spoiled and expect everything to be the way they want,but it is mainly opposite to the expectations.

 -I was wrong too-i imagined a devil-like creature to meet
...nothing similar..and greatest surprise was yet to come..stay patient....

I listened to my friend, and closed my eyes ..

Wizard opened a ruby door and we entered the great crystal cave with silver-like candelabrums,balls of noble rhodium and citrine to hang from the ceiling,and i knew immediately that all the unsightly creatures were forbidden to get in.
The squares on the walls and their glowing,were pure indication of the material used for the design....it was diamond.Crystal hall and all the flashing were most beautiful setting for an earthly eye to see.There was a big table of platinum,set with tin plates and spoons;a huge armchair in transparent dancing cinnabar,and a quite number of marvelous decorations on the wall,made of alexandrite and translucent natrolite.

The Grotto Grande

-You just entered a world to have been beyond human sight,but i don't fear for you since you already broke some limits between the worlds..
In the wink of an eye i remembered my 'white' meditation...heritage of a previous world

 -Isn't it we have one world?-in fact what i said was meaningless,i already knew more than two ..

 -No one lives just in one world;there are different realms.

 Is there anyone to live here?-i  said loud,although i had already portended an answer.


 -Of course,there are the beings to reside here,but they are not visible for you..since they have wings and astonishing beauty,they might represent a risky venture for a human eye.Humans are still accommodated to old fashioned habits,and their souls are loaded with all the vices to prevent them from meeting such a purity of innocence.The only period in life when we are allowed to peer into all the splendour of happiness,is childhood.And just like our little friend,humans hold some of that fortune for their lifetime....however not many..
 A man also can't stand greater truths but ones he is able to apprehend now.

-Does it mean they are perfect? I knew there was another secret

 -These beings were adored with wonderful talent and power,but their reward destroyed them.One of them felt envy,and since then they lost visible worlds,remaining caught between underground and earthly world...even Heaven is unapproachable for them..

 -Oh, how sad is it!

 And my wizard felt where my thoughts go..

Once there lived a beautiful little girl,all enchanting with 'sparkling body' and smaragdine eyes,so curious and naughty,that even most powerful being was not able to keep an eye on her....she found a way to escape..
So,little girl came onto the surface,saw the light of day and soon forgot previous life..Light erases all the blurriness..it is stronger than darkness...that is why we celebrate lights nowadays..
Light symbolizes healing and prosperity,it fights with the ominous creatures,it is perfection,happiness and beauty... And having come from crystal world it saved its transparency..only golden particles made it look like light gold yellow.

At least i was content knowing that i came from a beautiful wold and beings...i was puffed up..
All the time i lived in fear that it was an ugly horn-creature to influence my life and hold me back from achieving all my dreams.And my friend's thought crossed my mind again....truth is usually quite opposite and surprising,it is only us humans who are so shallow..

 -Our little "Beauty" was not able to live an ordinary life,and that is why she believed being punished ..in some way it is true.
One cannot live both worlds,having two lives ...one must choose where to live,with whom,and where to go,,
It is the same with our loves,you can presently have only one love,to love only one being..all the other options are not a true love..
On our return home,i noticed a little noctilucine creature to fly.
My omniscient friend knew another answer to satisfy my passion of mystery
-Our tiny and flying friend was so enamored of his female,that he went down to search for her,and soon it came out on the daily light again,it never got rid of such a delusion of a murky world......he kept glimmering forever to find its way.In present days we know it by the name firefly and this breed still uses such a glowing body to attract mates.

So it is last mystery we unveil today....

Another thought to follow you through New Year:Believe in yourself,believe in miracles,and keep in your mind all the time that it is great work,persistence and love to endure and reward you.

A Christmas Story-Coloring the World

While you may think of happiness as something known,i shall give you another approach,if you only let me lead you into the whirl of intuition and imagination.
My happiness as being unseen before,found me in an obscurity of ignorance to light my face and send some of opulent knowledge,kept in the cradle of the first world

Just to remind you of the journey with my wizard into deadness of an unknown world which i was able to see thanks to magic of my friend...
How nice is it having friends!-i whispered,more to myself..

What's done,is done!I and wizard made few of sad creatures happier by coloring and giving them a breath of new life...did i do good thing?As soon as i put a beautiful robe on cat,dog and dragon,i made a difference between them and the rest of misty world.

-Wasn't it we conceived a bud of envy by our deeds?-i asked my friend
 So many times we wondered ourselves about the source of evil among us..

-I believe it is wrong thinking-he said-these creatures have already lived in hate and envy,it was not sourced  from anybody or anything around.. ...and it was worse than we feel about each other,it came about by their unsightly appearance.Facing beauty is blessing for the soul,not a doom.

Feeding the Rabbits

-When you say that,everything seems so simple and easy to me...but i still have a sense of guilt

-There was nothing you could do to make them feel better anyway....only with such a kindness,you took some of them out of useless suffering...there are useful and redundant pains and miseries...

-I couldn't help myself but smile...
So,a difference was made,and we walked on with our new friends;it is supposed that when you do something for someone,he becomes your friend,isn't?And i found a comfortable seat on the back of Dragon.

I was so eager to ask Wizard about Sun,but i waited for right moment...there was no line between day and night,the all around us was dimly and i wished for warm Sun's rays...

My friend who sees through my thoughts and perceive more than a mere man can ,waved his hand and called on God to let shining...A beautiful Sun's ball appeared from the east,and greeted us in wonder....
Suddenly some places in our vicinity became scorched,they simply couldn't stand such warmth to touch them at once.

-Now you know the price of Sun's blessing.....for that,there had to expire many,known and unknown,or never seen ever....
Every great attainment takes some sacrifices from us...to reach something big and unique,there must be some things to disappear and some people's beliefs to go.....
Sun is grandest happiness of our earthly world.and gift to give a birth to everything ...While letting a remote star to come into our vicinity,and bringing her with own hands,she became warm and changed her color into GOLD....that is how you see Sun now.

-Of course that i was delighted after hearing such an amazing explanation of my Wizard.
-It appears that we can change the world...and our destinies...i think it just happens...

-Once again you approved how clever and intuitive you are-said Wizard.The all is in God's power and our inspiration;move a little stone and you will discover another one;if you are brave and ingenious ,you will make some good for you and add more beauty in your life.


As soon as Sun scattered its glorious sparkles around,we noticed that many of creatures,uncolored ones,run away to hide somewhere.I was so sorry and impetuously rushed out to catch up a rabbit,that was so scared.. ...i recognized him disguised in a squared and bony creature,without fur ..i lent some of magic from my friend and made him into magnificent white rabbit ...and now you know why he is so flustered and run away from you.While holding him in my arms,i felt a hit into my head ...it made me rise my eye above and see another creature in fear,to jump on the branches of a tree;being a bit nervous and angry for the hurtle i received,waved my hand and wished to see him on the ground...i learned later that it lived only on the tree..
Oh my dear friends, it was my guilt to make him into animal to walk the land too..then i tried to figure out how to paint it,and seemed i was in dilemma,so it happened that many kept their gray colors,but if you look more studiously you will find ones of them in beautiful carbuncle hue.I felt great joy after i realized what i came across...It was squirrel!
That is why red color is,among other reasons,a color of joys and surprises.......if you have courage and instinct to find things,then there is a great chance to make yourself many joyful moments in life...

It is no necessary to mention that trees were naked yet;being deprived of such a wisdom of an animal to look for happiness on their own,they had to get their clothes in order to become so precious for the mankind.God appraised his creation and took a break for himself by laying at the nadir of a tree..he needed a shelter of Sun's warmth and wanted to have a shield..so he imagined leaves,that having received first warm rays,turned themselves into GREEN!


I confess that my knowledge about colors was so weak,or perhaps i neglected their importance,and promised myself to look closer what colors i pick into the future....at least to be more careful about things around me,and about the color of my love.........

Whispers of Childhood

WIZARD and ME


ME:Will you take me to a short journey into my childhood days?

WIZARD:Why do you want to go back?

ME:I wish i could see myself as a little girl

WIZARD:It is easy,just put your imagination in move or look at a picture of your childhood

ME:But i wish to rediscover some secrets from the time i was just a child.

WIZARD:I knew that you didn't tell me the truth

ME:Maybe i was afraid of other people's reaction

WIZARD:There is a big difference between the two worlds-Childhood and Maturity ;
to feel and experience your youngest days you need to live another time again

ME:I need it right now,for i write a story

WIZARD:I shall give you a glimpse into past times,and nothing more..perhaps you will
find a little nook for me on your pages..to keep me from being forgotten;you see,
i live in one's memory,from century to century people pass their testimonies
and keep me alive.....if there were no reminiscence i would die..

ME:It sounds like recall of a fire that people once kept burning ....

WIZARD:Only it is about LIGHT now..good memories light up the future,

but bad ones bring calamity and misery;every time a man lights up a path,
we all step into bright days;each time one starts a war it brings us back into
the darkness...it is not easy to get out of the HELL..

I am sure even there was a visitor to darken and puzzle my childhood,
i would bring about but pure brightness for you and me....Thank you my dear WIZARD!

WIZARD:Good luck with your endeavors and aspirations,there is a reward for everyone who
is able to revive their youth....and that is great SECRET!should i reopen it for You,it takes from
you to make a new path for others who are brave enough just like you are,,.Will you?,,
..anyway with no special promise i shall tell you it,because i know that you already
reigned a secret ..You won old age...so every time you make a path for another one,
you are granted with the sparkle of eternal Youth....
The more starry paths you open the greater and more beautiful your Youth....

I smiled,said nothing but was sure that my wizard knew the whole truth for me and of me...and i knew without  even saying a word to me,that there was a hidden danger to stop me from achieving all my dreams,i knew for myself which one i still longed for...

When i waked up that morning,nothing was the same as previous days;i felt like being suddenly touched by smell of some olden and rushing times,as came out from crumpled and burnt pages of a book to have stayed too long exposed to Sun's merciless rays.Particles of dust floated and soared high above my head,while walking on a unsightly path remembering me of some colored and lost time,and as every child being eager to feed own curiosity i looked to the right and left with hope to notice some recognizable objects,or signs to lead me into the course of unveiling my dreams.

As i was walking along the trail,all the colors changed their robes in a desperate call on me to replace them with new ones to refresh my memory and clarify sights around me.I recognized an aged tree of apricot to bear delicious fruits,then there was a tall and robust mulberry,a place to spend few hours in meditation,by sitting high on its hidden branches.Who doesn't like abundance of mellow purple and pink fruits?Can you imagine the simplicity of a moment,when you feel like a Queen while dangling legs in empty space bellow,to rise few meters from the ground!What would many of us give for such a pleasure and magic of the moment?
I hardly was aware how that lovely tree held me in its hug by trying to pass on me its own pains and hopes.. ...how many times i am unconscious about another man's griefs and expectations?For the all is live in my magic land,and every thing,every creature has personal story to tell us.

Whether life still exist,or i am a slender breeze in obscurity,just a faded copy of gloriousness that i was granted with,in a time to have gone.That is which makes me doubt in reality of my life,when everything seems so dummy,with people around me seemingly walk,talk and make other gesticulations,but the pulse of life has vanished or made into something resembling a realm where the prince of darkness potters and makes his dirty mischiefs.I constantly lose myself in that labyrinth of pale perceptions and an account of intensive feelings in my first views of life around.

There was a river,and still she makes her appearance while running by my village house,only the stories are different since the time i had some lovely days in her company.When i return there and look into its surface i see how the warmth and excitement of those early moments have complete fled,while vainly longing to bring back vividness and hilarity of past enjoyment;and i know i can only revive memories starring into a framed picture to hang on my room's wall.
Oh, how passionately i wish i were again in primary layout of my picture,abandoned there and free of time's measurements and changes,inevitably followed by the flow of passing years!From my distance now,i see these visions colored in gold and silver,as reflections of vivid and colorful vibrations they were once.
I looked for more haunted places that used to catch my attention and love;one of them found its place in the hills up my village where my grandma and granddad grew vine and meadow,patterned with tress of plumes,pears and apples.In the early Spring,it found me happy with lovely wild strawberries i picked and enjoyed in their scent.And they still occupy the same stretch;i can walk among them and enjoy in scenery,but can't feel previous alluring and marry impressions,except in my memory.The trees,strawberries and meadow rest now in their tawny and blanch decor.
The scenery stood the same but I am the one to be changed because the lucidity and sensibility of child's eye has gone forever.I don't say that my childish spirit abandoned the nest without leaving its fluffs to keep tracks and enriched me in these decrepit times..
Hence i feel that the all was someone's hoax,to let we go through life toward its supposed end,to grow,but persistently losing the glow and sparkles of life's pleasure and happiness.Somehow our basic picture got spoiled,and like anyone trying to recover a masterpiece,would only find themselves to never make anything better or return its beauty and purity given by first colors,painted with the precious moves of a brush.
What grows fantastic in this story,if you happen not to conceive it,is the sense of time's illusion and fascination.;that little child with personal memories and experience seems to me like coming from primeval times,and containing all the wisdom of life.
I see that child in hold of pristine wisdom written by invisible visitors and unknown by God,while a rapacious hand of foxy Devil seized a slice to allure and deceive ones who are brave to search for sacred knowledge.I assume it comes to us in flash of light traveling a distance between remote star and find its sprout here on earth.
My musing over past times,made me lose sense of reality ....where is beginning?where is the end?Did i go into right direction?What if the very beginning of my life was my greatest achievement,being but a pure divination.That child makes me upset to suspect in my present,my judgment and reason,to wonder myself who knew more and lived real life.Me or that child?It makes me feel living an untrue life,in which we mostly become lost in reaching true love,in learning,enjoying and celebrating the life itself.Being caught in an emptiness while trying to get to the top i climb all the time,i slide further and further into the deep,stuck in the frivolity and frost on the bottom.Such a condition makes i lose my reason,doubt my mind,cognition and observation,by suspecting myself about where is the mistake;and if there was any,whether it had to imply in my life or i made a choice once.


Still there is hope for all of us to walk on the tracks of childhood's glistening paths...
What You really need to learn is simplicity of FIRST STEPS a baby learns .!Make first steps,dare to walk,and everything will come to be as it was divined and drawn by one's hand to paint your canvas of life.Start anything,no need for a bulk of designs and plans ,just let your leg make one STEP and all the rest will unroll as it was predicted.That is the wisdom which the child i used to be told me in whispers,by slowing their sounds over the years to pass by,and like music forgotten but learned once,they might be refreshed in memory to teach us again about life,unwrapping the picture of FIRST STEPS in the earliest childhood!
Remote sounds and notes,smothering WHISPERS from past times,are still able to bring back to us first and inborn KNOWLEDGE from our ancestors,left in heritage,the road of which ,we can only find in FIRST CHILD IMPRESSIONS!
That is,as i see it clear now,why i kept in my mind that child as being AGED one, in my vision!The child showed pristine WISDOM leading through unawareness and subconsciousness of a naive and genuine being to just make first steps in life,more a reflection passed on us from first beings once walked on the Earth!

my free creation









 

Love has come down from Heaven

"In a ghostly hour i lost my love'
O, sweet illusion,bring me another one,
The price is small for a bit of my happiness;
I won't steal or lend,
You have my permission to make a cheat on me,
For i am but a lonely servant of yours,
Be you from heaven or the hell
In a ghostly hour i lost my love.
It doesn't matter any more to me,
As i sold my soul once ago;
And the only hope i have now,
Is that glowing span
While being in the full sense of myself,
Agreed to have a crumb of your glorious mercy!

                                                                                                    

Since my birth,love has been an inevitable companion of my every day's life while i never assented to any ordinary consumption of her.Love is too powerful and magical to be just an usual visitor of many to travel across all planetary and starring worlds out there.From the very beginning,whether there was a fireball explosion,filled by pure particles of energy,carried here and there on the pallets of the sky,by making a whirl around planetary heads and spreading their hands eagerly into space,or taking a religious approach and thinking of God's will and power to make all things happen,i strong believe in the existence of catholic love to incorporate and unite all of us and everything together.
First thought was about Love,as soon as God wished for bringing into life a picture of man and woman to live together.In addition to God's command,there is a natural aspect of human need to love and be loved;it is perpetual aspiration to make every day a holiday.Being caught in mind hemisphere,love paves its path for beauty as another aspect of magical travelers.

The Stolen Kiss

First and main recognition of love is within ourselves
I love myself
I respect myself
I know myself
Primal presumption to live a healthy life is being in love with yourself.
There might be hours to torture ourselves with hate and looking for where its source comes from;some hints of possible scenario going back to an idea of rivalry to have conceived envy and hate.If we were to follow our thoughts,sometimes spiced with jealousy and odium,it would become clear that the hell's cradle rests in our minds.There is nothing to come out of us,which has not made its way through the splice of our thoughts.
The most famous sprout coming from the darkness,is Satan.I don't know if you ever felt his presence and what your impressions would look like,but i believe,my own encounter might be a good illustration.Being obsessed,appears to be an exceptional experience,from a point of view;from the other one,it is really the "Hell".He doesn't allow to live in love,and being a great opponent of your happiness,his desire is you never meet and reunite with your lover.Once deprived of love,with mangled feelings and without home,Satan was condemned to live as vagabond for all the times.
Thereby if you are alone and no one holds your hand,,think of the past when someone earned this fatal destiny for you.As i rout over my past lives while pulling drapery to the left and right of my view,i can see,for a moment,the face of my previous life and colors to paint my being.It is black and white like dress of a sinful nun who never paid ransom for her sins.For what one could think different about something to constantly escape from their possession,unless there was a great sin to seal their fate.

Soon as self-willed Eva,made her own way in picking an apple from the tree of knowledge of good and evil,by leaving Adam in ignorance,and making an act of cheating,LOVE became an ILLUSION for ever.....only true Love survives in heaven's cradle...
True lovers are damned to long for each other forever and stand their passion drifts through endless cosmic expanse;fortunately enough,some of them might win just one day of real earthly love..and they should consider themselves happy for such a mercy...
And i know,i already lived through my blessed moment in life,had a glimpse of happiness by knowing great love...now i can only watch its petals scattered high in the air,like a seducing and beautiful flower being deprived by cruelty of a storm of its bloom,and condemned to grieve for its beauty forever..
You can have only one GREAT LOVE in life..all the rest are illusions..more or less...
By keeping that in your mind,you agree to a handful of little lies around your love;don't ask more than it is possible and don't undervalue what is sent to you..take it like a packet,wrapped with ribbons in colors that you don't like,and imagine how yellow one shines red or purple...change the colors in your mind and take them for the truth..how many times in life we come down to such sweet illusions?-almost every day as we breathe.

                                            In a ghostly hour i lost my love'
                                        O, sweet illusion,bring me another one,
                                      The price is small for a bit of my happiness;
                                                I won't steal or lend,
                                        You have my permission to make a cheat on me,
                                          For i am but a lonely servant of yours,
                                             Be you from heaven or the hell;
                                                In a ghostly hour i lost my love.
                                            It doesn't matter any more for me,
                                                 As i sold my soul once ago;
                                                And the only hope i have now,
                                                   Is that glowing span
                                        While being in the full sense of myself,
                                     Agreed to have a crumb of your glorious mercy!  


This little verse comes not from a dreamy mind to hold his pen in a rushed time but as lone echo of past lovers,whose souls travel through the time to find a glimpse of happiness when the renewed lovers in some another age meet each other,while pieces of their love warm lost souls once again...
I am not the lonely prisoner of his will.Many a lover found themselves in a character who rests in gold pages of a book.I myself recognize beautiful Margarita and her unrestrained youth,to be my reciprocal image coming right from the famous novel by Mikhail Bulgakov.
Margarita is the minion of both God and Devil,a noble privilege,and as such not available to everyone.Only a chosen few is allowed to meet astonishing creatures from the light and darkness and meet an exceptional destiny.Sometimes it is permission to break the limits to separate reality from magic,and like a wizard to join all mystical beings in holding of SECRETS ..sometimes,they are given too much and the same taken just in a wink,for the glory has its own price..
Margarita conquers both realms-light and darkness,by her love of Master and unusual young look she kept in her older years.
Where Devil draws his breaths,there must be something "marvelous" in air .......
I listen to him as whispers...i am deprived of Love,but have power to make your dreams come true..and being without feelings my reward will be your punishment alike!


 My dear demon,i know you,i received and embraced your award,and your "revenge".

 LOVE must be fed

Love revives its strength in your inspiration.Be focused on your hobby;your love of the nature gets its satisfaction in long walks along the forests' paths..go out and find solace with the birds in flight;having a nice garden is perfect rest to cherish beautiful flowers and make short breaks in meditation;love of books is my favorite,there is no greater enjoyment but holding some yellow pages to meet my curiosity and satisfy exploring spirit;put some of your thoughts on paper or transmit it to the screen.Love your work whatever to be,and wherever you are,and in the lack of passion,get it compensated by own talent to find some little pleasures around it,employ your imagination .....

There are many patterns of loves..wrap them with the ribbon in a matching color...
sometimes you give your love away with no strong pretension .....just an easy sympathy and affection
sometimes you love another being as close soul to answer your aspirations and inner beauty
sometimes it is only a hint of possible love..
sometimes it is destiny to take you to the other side of the world and prevent from meeting your love again..
sometimes it is great LOVE to be swallowed and prevented from realization by demon's power....


My LOVE is not being from this world,it aspires for and wanders among the souls fell from the height and doomed to suffer;my love will never reach its destination where faithful hearts meet each other again;my love is an unfinished story;she is not under God's grace;my love suffers some past sins and takes many centuries to fulfill itself;my love brought in a verdict of guilty on me and damned to enchant everyone but never to belong anyone.......

"The Stolen Kiss"

Unwrapping my Mystic Packet

There is a sleepy and mystic land to keep memory of dreams,and an old white man to sit in the underworld room.During the time of my fantastic visit ,i tried to get some answers to my origin and knowledge to lie buried there from the primordial time.

Who are you?-i asked,as i let my thought fly.

I am an ordinary man who saves everyone's DREAMS over the centuries-said the old man

If you were an ordinary man,you would not live forever ..so tell me the truth-i was curious..

I can not tell it a random visitor....and it is more a SECRET.

What is the secret?

You must find it by yourself-old man stayed enigmatic with his answer

May i ask someone to tell me more about it?

No,it can not be..
You need to know it by yourself,because every one of them has different parents and dreams; there might be one to originate from Cerberus,another one comes from Phoenix... you will meet Centaur,Griffin, and Cyclopes....Titans,like Rhea and Cronus and many others.And everyone responds to different sounds and pictures;once you were lost in darkness,it takes great skills to see and recognize enemies in right moment,there are plenty to hate you...for you may be have more beautiful dreams...

Whether my fancy or strong desire,yet i pictured that a DRAGON was my keeper of dreams..and more... something like my parent,my first breath..........

Red Dragon

By the grace of his Majesty,our dreams live out our memories and keep walking on ancient tracks of lost worlds.On a gracious trace i saved my loving memory of early childhood when 'everything' has begun.
In the childhood begins our past, present and future...there is an eye to grab from every angle of our unreal dreams.As soon as the light makes its way through early patchworks of the morning's sky,we face majestic horizon to open before our eyes,full with mythological creatures to have lost their lands and dreams,and started hunting our obscurity to throw some light onto our lives and future,till recover our untold truths.
As a good catcher you could capture peerless drops of forecast to guide you through life toward your destiny,on condition you were brave enough to follow them.
I myself,or might be by mercy of someone else's will ,made a gateway for all the convey of two heads dogs,mystical phoenix to reborn anew from ashes,dragons with fire in their gullets and dark visitors from the hell to follow Lucifer after his fall from the heaven,to take me on their hidden paths,putting a great challenge before me,and testing my will and endurance.
There are no great successful stories without great dreams!
Now that dream is not my possession,at least not exclusive one,for i share them with all the row of mystic creatures to accompany me during my journey.By allowing them to come into my life i crossed the line between light and darkness,and hopefully expect my dream come true.I am aware that there must have been some mistake of mine,followed by punishment and obsession,after which i redeemed my sins.
I do not think how my presence is the only realm of my life.....There has always been another world and reality for me;every moment hath its past and future,unseen and smashed civilizations,some projected landscapes waiting for new dreamers.
There was no way to come back soon i left my foot on the sky blue path..i knew that a return always led to disaster and misery.There is still present an image of Lot's wife to turn into a pillar of salt for being heedless.
Worlds vanish and new ones rise.. ....
The same is about life,having lost previously one,you build and live new dream.Every possible attempt to change course of own destiny is a gamble, faced with all possible scenarios and outcomes.Freedom is a devil's work,it gives you so much,but it could take away the all from you in the blink of an eye.
Freedom takes a distant behavior,or at least empowers you to make a choice of few things you like best and the rest to leave for the others.I am sure you hold in memory some tales to rest now on a shelf in your room,with taste of dust like a hero entering into cave with lost treasure,to seize the all,unless there is no a catch...and there is always one.....sometimes it was a secret floor to open and swallow them,or a pike to punch their bowels,maybe a monster to live deep in hidden chamber,or an adder winding its way..
Now it is the legend about Holy Grail to inevitably catch mine and everyone's attention for its most attractive secret of eternal Youth.There were many who tried to steal the secret,and lots of legends emerged over the centuries.My instinct tells me that everyone made mistake...to win over the Kingdom of secret worlds,you need to stay true to yourself and let all creatures on service in lost lands to visit and reign over you,or to stand hunting of a neglected and jealous being coming right from the darkness.

I am willing to unwrap my magical  packet with hidden knowledge and share it with you...for what the purpose of Beauty is,if it is not seen by someone else's eye?In addition ,my secret is mystic folded,quite opposite to many which are bald and dreadful,and that way alluring and pleasant for making a record in one's memory.In the end,every one of them becomes visible as there is no one with wings powerful enough to run away and bury  themselves for good.
First pictures to dig their pit to the surface of my earliest days and stay trapped there,reach back to my age of four years......i am dressed in a short and plaid coat,and my father holds me in his arms;i believe it was on a special occasion.There is another one to be early memorized,about a big fire set in the center of my village during the carnival celebration to take place during the winter time.I still remember that amazing fire,flames of which,rose high into the shadow.

Being thoughtful since my childhood,when i made my first steps into conscious exploration of life around me,natural way of my development had to be the meditation.Loneliness and an isolated place were not strange and hard for me to stand;sometimes it was sitting on a branch of the tree in my village yard.The first five years of my life i spent in my birthplace,some 32 km from the town where i live now.The most impressed in early meditation was a recall,nestled in my inner being,to whisper me how my 'strange' and mystic forecast was postponed till my mature age .....Expectation is like a beauty...as hunter of dirty landscapes and misty sky players,in your fancy,while painting a canvas,you hope to paint most beautiful ones.Even the darkest scenery is in your reach to make new wonder.

Whether for reasons to spring from such distinct part of my life or not, i was late in maturing.Then,having reached the predicted time,it came like a storm followed by surges,unforeseen phenomenons,and some odd abeyance;a visitor got out of darkness and put me on temptations.I found myself questioning if i was closer to God,or i fell in disgrace of invisible,dangerous and underground forces.The obsession is not an easy experience,followed by a variety of unpredictable forces and deviations.
There is a different destiny for everyone to wait for the right time and begin unrolling them,by discovering plenty of attributes to make each of us unique.
What appears to be outstanding in the dawn of your initial steps,is the ability to recognize first signs marked in your birth card and to follow them,because your future depends on observing and interpretation of the foretoken.I was lucky to catch my vision and had courage to wait for its unrolling along with all the consequences and transformations on my way.One day as i mastered it and pulled myself out of the swirl,i could look on myself like a new born being.It is really about new birth,as Jesus Christ happened to emerge among living world again after his death.Jesus' personal story and the wreath of all events to belong to the history now,stayed a puzzle for us.....we can believe or being suspicious about many things;but who would believe in my complete confession after i shed a bit of light into my personal experience?There are some TRUTHS to stay unknown and invisible for the rest of the world.

I can't get away from an impression that a 'secret' had to be told,if not of Jesus Christ's then someone else's....there must be one greatest in any event!My human sense,having been tempted by the very beginning with one's mischievousness to look for power and dominance,casted an anchor at the presence with something wonderful,unusual and strange....i cannot stand poor and naked reality......I am eternal traveler to wander between darkness and lightness,looking for a lost path and finding a new one,again and again.The truth once given to us,was taken and left to rest in some inapproachable place;what we have now are DREAMS...in our dreams we go after lost royal buildings and high bastions to leap over into the garden of paradise,freed from every hurt and evil....
We need strangeness and miracles,unnamed sources,mystical fountains,lost manuscripts,forgotten words,dried up rivers,perished civilizations,we need to dig deep into earth looking for ancient bones of extinct animals,or to study the archetypal manuscripts to get into knowledge of our origin;we seek lost tracks and watch remote stars and constellations in effort to reach new civilizations.

Simply,our own story would be so miserable and bared without such a stunning flavor of unknown and mystic.

I celebrate unknown forces coming into my life and make some exceptional events and  transformations.I am grateful for mercy to come down on me and present me with beautiful gift.My secret lies in power to win old age and stay young forever;there is a mystery around it,and as i said i love them and regard to be necessary in my life.Every obscure detail from the past keeps some secret and important mystical revelation.It seeks a way to seduce and cheat us with sparkling background and illusion of a rainbow,that seems so easy approachable and in our reach.
Anyway, if you cheat on me,let it be a beautiful delusion.

The Mystery of God

One of the most glorious moment ever in the entire Universe,was the birth of an especial creature on Earth to open the door into cognizable worlds and trace the path back to the very source of their origin.By the will of his Majesty, a magnificent moment greeted the dawn of Humanity.
Born in loneliness,while the Lord looked upon own creation,and wished to accompany him with Cherubim,Dominions,Archangels,Angels,and the rest of angelic beings,the man became genuine and loyal follower of the creation and its most beautiful sibling-Nature.

Appolo and Aurora

A man has risen from most beautiful nature's decor:flowers,rivers,mountains,landscapes,heaven,clouds,Sun's rays.....everything gave their primary and most beautiful features in endeavor to overcome his loneliness,and make all the ambient around vivid and in favor of a man.That way,Beauty was inevitably embedded in like one of the most impressive characteristics we share with nature.All the colors mixed their most seducing hues and kept hold of the secret formula, allowing to the viewer nothing but enjoyment and pleasure of being part of dancing beauty.
White,black,red,green,blue..purple..all is on your disposal to lend their robes and shroud yourself for a magnificent appearance.
The most mysterious secret in the focus of human interest,and most wanted to be solved,has always been their origin.And science stayed in silence until these days about solving that mystery.In my mind,as i trying to reach that moment of conceiving the birth of my first ancestor,i transfer my thoughts back into the past.Suddenly,the path becomes a pure reflection of one remote and crystal glowing destination,exposed somewhere in the future and beyond reasonable cognition... some farthest place in Universe..a star,planet.......hidden resort to be unknown till now?
It is like traveling back in time to meet own future in one point,somewhere in infinity of space and time!An astonishing idea and vision,perceptible and alluring,the way to meet your double and first blood cousins.There might be a sparkling particle fell from the space to cross distances and reach Earth.
If we were to go along that imagined line,we could join past and future and get us united in one single point.....without past and future..just one single MOMENT!
Imagine Yourself in such a magnificent glimpse of time,and you could feel all the mystery of existence!All the distinction between now and forever,what was and will be,birth and death,....everything happens to vanish by moving themselves aside and giving a pass to a wonderful feeling of flying into the longest place you could ever reach in imagination.


Such a FREEDOM solves man's most attractive desire ...eternal life and Youth.
We can feel the importance of being NOW and breathing in this moment,without loading ourselves with the burden of unnecessary thoughts.The all which matters and makes life,has been merged in just one snatch!

I think about it like my new birth and the moment i am renewed;I shall think of myself like the revelation of a new star,or powerful might floating the space to give a birth to everything.

I shall think of myself like being a particle of Almighty's gorgeous embodiment.The very source of my birth is the place where my ending hours on earth would have rested...birth and death,there is no difference ...It is continual chain of all the cycles in Universe,and i know that the strength of my being and all the energy floating my body will prolong their lasting into the future.It is pure magic captured in the obscurity of my awareness and nakedness of my organism.And it is only on You to recognize them and reign all the possibilities lying before you.Learn to use gifts of Nature and pulsing cosmos,to revive yourself,and make your organism radiate,feed itself and give own energy back to outer surrounding,to mix consciousness contracted in mind with Universe's unique and transparent nature.

And the all becomes miracle...i shall give my face the shape i wish
It will glow the color i hold in my vision
My look becomes embodiment of my desire'
My own Beauty is manifest CREATION..i make BEAUTY in a way i wish and love it!
LOVE your BEAUTY !
Your unique beauty will get the meaning and radiate the way you show yourself to the outer world!The strength of your mind and thoughts modeled by its will,make your look be seen like most alluring ; you only allow beauty to be fed properly.In essence it is ENERGY with all the characteristics and vibrations spring from your being.You hold and master them on your own..

Having said Beauty,i assume it is all about your YOUNG look alike...BEAUTY is foreseen to carry all the purity of your skin,without any line to rough surface in its reflection.

Active role of the brain is driving force,and every imagined projection you make,sources in the brain;there is a passage to find and allow the flow of all energy.I myself name the mind being holy grail of eternal youth.
Once you mastered the craft of letting stream of particles travel from mind throughout the rest of organism,is a way recognized for ever.The energy pulses,similar to strokes of a clock,it pumps vivid impulses and absorbs new incentives in every glimpse of time.
What streams through your body has fueled with WILL...it is pad from which your desire begins its journey from your brain,gives a command,and being received,becomes jointed with the strength of mind's waves to bring all them back to the body.It is continual circle of feeding your mind to transit projected images into pores of your body;an exercise to practice in every bit of your lifetime.It is the heart of keeping your YOUNG look alive!

The heart never stops pumping blood to keep you alive.Mind's activity is additional source for feeding every ingredient of your being,and its main function is ability to command the cells of your organism;It takes only your will to send orders which will lead you to the keeping Young look in every time of your life.

OPEN The WINDOW

To get out of the close and recognizable circle of happenings,we shall open the window into magnificent and splendid Nature to coat ourselves with all the brightness coming from heaven's blueness,cloud's artworks brushed on the sky,sparkles of dancing air,greenish glow of drizzled grass,mottle of seducing landscapes,sparkling bats of mountain's waterfalls,foamy purity of air in the stunning hills.....we shall clear blurred scenery around,and let them become part of our sensing and absorbing reality.
We shall let the beauty of some remote times reach us in all abundance,and find us never lost in oblivion of one moment which decided our destiny would stay merged with the beautiful framed picture posted by an inscrutable might.The mystery is lasting ingredient of eternal beauty and youth.

Our CREATOR left us with a living memory of his heritage and the key to decipher its mystery leading to eternal Youth.

Beauty of God's Word
by Gerard Hallock


I have found this book,under the title"Beauty of God's Word" as the result of my searching for old ones since it is my passion;i am really lucky with books,think of running across most beautiful,and believe it is because of my love of reading.She is special for me even more,for it is associated with my writing on staying young /beautiful/The author found his inspiration in God's words,referring to love and devotion ,as well as all the rest of divine characteristics ,to be main source of being beautiful.They come from inside of our beings and make us so lovely.I have not opened the Bible in order to express my thoughts, but what i wrote came right from my mind and heart and completely corresponds the holy book.Through my stories you will feel the same strength and source to come from my inner being, fed by nature's beauty,and to be the essence of staying young and beautiful.Take from nature and God's creation abundance and "grow lovely" as it says Gerard Hallock.
p.s. i never look for them before i have finished my writing,to avoid any influence,and so i am very nice surprised every time i find similarities in the way i and 'unknown' author think and build our stories.

Becoming Beautiful

"But we all,with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,are changed into the same image from glory in glory even as by the spirit of the Lord"

"A Christian is sure to grow lovely by just loving,-by just going on in love for Christ.It has been fabled from old times that the graceful swan was changed from a most ugly bird into its present beauty,merely because of its constancy to its mate"

"The soul grows wondrously lovely just by loving,by pouring out its faithful affection"
