Spirits

[close] Among the most easily recognized mystic communications are riddles, parables, fables, woven in symbols, dreams, allegory, apocrypha, & metaphors. Mystics often speak of being in a trance. They are communicating something other-worldly. Philosophers, in an attempt to make the deeper meaning more esoteric, obscured the meaning of their writes. Scientists use symbols & codes. One must come to understand metaphors, symbols & codes so they can understand. So, why have these writers throughout history used such obscure methods to say something that should be easy to say? Ø Being persecuted. Ø To speak about the ethereal world or to acknowledge communication with entities outside of our world would usually lead to being labeled insane. Ø Mysticism is meant for those who seek truth. ​​ Why write mystically? Or, how does the mysticism find the author? Many writers throughout history have found themselves helpless to the labels of insanity bestowed upon them. I often wonder if the likes of Virginia Wolff, Edgar Allen Poe, or Emily Dickinson would be considered mentally incompetent by today's standards. Language limits us from being able to fully express what we experience & what we intuit. We are forced by these limitations to use words creatively to give our reader insights that are otherwise lost in common usage. Writers are painting pictures, providing backdrops with sound, taste, texture & feeling – but the mystic writer is taking you behind the veil to a place where the senses have no power & hard reality does not exist, & mystic writers are translating from a language unknown to man, a language spoken to them by entities that exist in another time & space that is not in sync with our mortal occupation in the here & now. Mystic writers themselves are as perplexed about their relationship with or connection to the ethereal & the surreal as you are.

[close] In an area forbidden to man, lies a forest. Many have triedto find it, but all have failed. In this forest, lies the spirit wolves. They are made of spirits of wolves who have passed on. There are two packs, the Lightpack and the Darkpack. The members of the Lightpack are here on this earth as a reward for their good work when they were alive. They roam the earth freely and are able to go up to the heavens and down again as they please. The Darkpack, however, forever roam the earth as punishment for their wrongs. The packs are always at war. The spirit wolves can not be killed by anything mortal, but can be killed by another sprit wolf and sink into dark nothingness. However, there is a prophecy. A pup will be born to spirit wolves, although it is forbidden and almost impossible. The pup will be born of a light mother and a dark father. He is half mortal half spirit and is grey in color. He is destined to bring the packs together as one and save the packs from their own distruction.
