A rare update on a sucky new years eve
So I decided to give an update here for people who do not read my myspace page.
First of all work is going very well. Was recently promoted. I am still taking calls all day, but I am in a very specialized unit that handles strange things, and is licensed in every state. So I have been getting christmas presents in the form of insurance licenses all week. The company paid over $10,000 for all these licenses, so its my best present ever! Now I can even go into business for myself in such illustrious places as North Dakota and Oregon.
New years looks like its going to suck again. No plans, which seems to happen to me too often. Too many people are off being happy with their boyfriends/girlfriends, so no one appears to be free. Its even more depressing to go out by myself though. If anyone has anything going down and reads this in the next couple hours, let me know, I sure have lots of time on my hands!
On a better note, I have decided to start writing again. So far I have just finished the prologue, which you can read by clicking on the link if you want. I am working on chapter one now and hope to have it done in a couple days. Some basic info... its a science fiction and I hope to be the first in a few novels. Feel free to read anything I write and comment on anything, even basic editing!
The world does not always end in a big explosion like in the movies. More often than not it ends without so much as a whisper. One second everyone is living their happy, mundane lives, the next it is over. The soul doesn't know the difference, a brief pause, sometimes a moment of darkness that is all that signifies the moment you cross over into the next phase. One of the universe's cruel jokes is the fact that the memories of the brain cannot make the leap from matter into energy. Only an imprint remains, a faint recollection of some important knowledge lost, only to be recognized at the moment of acquiring this knowledge again. One of those moments where you think, “ah I should have known that!”
Then there are those rare occasions when something special happens. To some when the moment comes, the pause is longer and the darkness deeper than black. Wise men for ages called this enlightenment, a moment of achieving something greater than the mortal shell should be able to achieve. For these few the last puzzle piece has found its place, the big picture laid out in front of them to see. One final moment where all the questions are answered.
At this moment one learns that the questions were simple to begin with and never had to be asked. New questions form and a new puzzle is dropped in front of you. Most would gladly go back to the simple people they once were once again in the next life. With knowledge comes responsibility, with responsibility comes uncertainty. Through uncertainty come fear. The differences in how those handle these factors is what makes no two enlightened souls the same. In this matter they are not much different that the normal soul on the surface.
One interesting about the soul is the relationship between it and the body it inhabits. Two factors go into how a new body is selected for a soul. Many religions have stated that one form of life is superior to another and only that form has a true soul. This is a trick played by this great game on the living. In a way the body of a person farther along in the puzzle should usually be better than one who is just beginning. Some sections of the puzzle are harder than others to complete and a less advantaged body may be more suitable for this section and the lesson that is to be learned. Then there are the souls that seem to take pleasure in the difficulty of the puzzle and make it more difficult for themselves. There are some among us who believe that these are ones who actually found a way to revert themselves back from enlightenment.
Now I know many of you may have issues with what I just said. You think that the beautiful are always superior, but this is another trick played against you. The strong or smart also should be superior, but the soul does not see it this way. I will tell you a tale of one of my prior lives to help prove my point. I was fairly along on my path when this event happened, only three lives ago. I had already gained many of the benefits of unlocking my pathetic soul.
The important point about this event in time was my dog. I had a big, dumb golden retriever for a dog. Every day he would be bullied around by my cat, not the fearlessly strong animal that would lead you to believe that he was very advanced. When I was young at times when I would be doing something stupid, I would always find my dog nearby with a peculiar look in his eye. It was like he was trying to tell me to just stop, but couldn't speak of course. Now I was more sensitive than the normal person at the time and could always tell when he was near. If you have ever felt that pressure in your head and chest when someone was nearby, you may know what I mean. One day my house burned down while I was asleep. I never once woke up during the whole ordeal. I suddenly awoke outdoors, no one had tried to put it out. There was my dog, his head resting on my chest, much of his fire burned away and his breath coming slowly, and he was looking me dead in the eyes. In the last moments it was like our souls were connected and something passed between us. This is a secret however that I cannot tell you yet, you will have to learn it on your own.
Now some of you may be wondering where I am going with all of this. What does a description of the soul and its progression from life to life really have to do with the end of the world? To those of you who are asking this question I can only say that I hope this book is in existence during your next lifetime, perhaps you will understand then. For some on the brink, you may simply understand at the end of this story, if there ever truly is an end. Read on so I may help all of you to grow, perhaps skipping a lifetime or two for some of you. I have hidden several lessons throughout, ones which will bring you closer if you truly understand them. This is the first of six story's telling the tales of five souls. I was there for the moment before enlightenment in each case. I will share them with you so you too may learn.
