The Seventh Direction

PART THREE: Stalking Violet. Episode 71

["D/A" narrates —A.A.]

From the heart came the command, and movement issued forth downstream toward the camp on the plateau. We walked (well—Doe did most of it), while I sensed my oneness with her but realized our certain differences. In our oneness (maybe BECAUSE of our oneness), I was in the moment very aware of MY connection between MY heart and mind, something I sensed Doe came by much differently than we humans and wasn't consciously aware of within herself. Within Doe, though, there was an incredible, unwavering smooth flow of energy from her mindset (???) to her movements. This I could feel powerful, but at this juncture was still unsure of within myself.

And I felt that this vibrational exchange occurring (as we continued east, downriver) was of the same Order as the exchange I had had with the mountains. Which, more or less, had been an audible exchange. Now, though (my experience with Doe of the Deer People?)—now I was able to SEE the gifts we shared with each other; and I felt at one with Doe. Still, my mind couldn't keep up with her . . . mind (???), so our only true and common connection was our shared heart space; and it was by placing my consciousness in my heart space that I was empowered to see with Doe, as a Doe, and to move with her. Being centered within my heart space (home to my fourth gift-of-birth—gratitude, color purple—and most-important place of balance) was most-important at this time. Or at anytime. If I wanted to see straight.

And right here, right now, the view gifted by these eyes was no less than amazing. It was awesome. Everything in the area was radiant. Brilliant. Fully alive. Through these windows, life itself appeared to be flowing—radiating a near-invisible energy out from all the different form, here in Valley Forest. It was energy detectable. It was energy resonating within every form—the form bubble-like—the bubble-like form large or small, depending—and colorful as seen through Doe's eyes. And yet the form was no barrier to anything that lay beyond. No barrier. No problem. The aura round nature's life-forms . . . say, Gnarly Tree—the aura, the auric field, would but enhance the scenery which lay beyond, in the distance, further ahead of us, as we looked through . . .

'Without the auric-fields-of-life round everything in nature, we would be lost. As a Doe, I move through and go from one "field" to the next. They are my guides. And united we are a part of that system you saw earlier, on the horizon.'

Somehow I knew it so. Mentally-so, I knew it: THRU the one-dimensional perspective-capacity of the intellect I knew it so. (Dear God.)

And yet Doe was teaching me more than what I had come to mentally, due to the ACTUAL experience of walking with her! Mm-hmm. And by feeling my way through the nature (core) of her teaching, I was coming more to realize her shared-with-me perspective, and more-so the truth of her spoken word, as I reached through clarity nearer to the reality of my desire. All our desires are impressed into the flow, into the Invisible (or near-invisible) Light, or God's Image, to be brought round before us again as a new opportunity appearing in life. I think so. But we must first learn to take care with our quality of desire, and our choices, lest we end up facing our own illusion. Doe, God love her, doesn't have choice. She can't bring herself to ruin through freedom of choice . . . not like man can. She just follows the flow. Her capacity of mind, unlike man, doesn't get in the way, doesn't choose spiritless direction. She hasn't the same fate or fortune that man has: the opportunity of creating his desires, the choice his—his desires and the many paths that will lead him there. Man needs right-understanding (likely as not, though, to be found within our education systems!) Man needs to learn (well, I sure do!) and realize that his experiences along his chosen-path bring to him knowledge needed and essential to attaining his desire. Too, he needs to understand that he must first listen to Direct Inspiration. Like Doe does. Doe hasn't been gifted the awareness to realize desire, nor has she the capability of co-creation that raises desire into actuality; yet she has extraordinary, even breathtaking ability of hearing the Direct Inspiration that guides her harmoniously on her path. Man should learn to get himself out of the way, so that he too can receive this same Inspiration available on HIS path (sigh): doing so, man will stay mindful of his desires, while walking through Life, because he will be tuned-in to Direct Inspiration. However, and I don't mean to keep harping, but, due to our education (or the lack?), it can be difficult for man to listen deeply within himself—to use his own truth as pilot and guide. It is often so much easier to follow the well worn paths of others, which eventually lead to frustration, to futility, and to reaction when he finds there is no pot-of-gold at the end of the rainbow. Not like we were informed there would be! And sure enough, man will discover (sooner or later) that he has gained conscious little upon that borrowed path . . . man, he and me (and we) being pretty much one and the same.
