Right here and right now. Right here and right now. Right here and right now. This was the line that the young adept was repeating as he drew close to noon day prayers. Going through the trials and rights to become a master was not an easy job to do. The young student had to not only learn the history of the sacred knowledge but also embrace that knowledge and live it in his everyday life.
As time drew on and the young student became a young man, life’s pressures bore on him, turning him this way and that way, experiencing the many different emotions of a teenager coming into their own. Not only was there outside pressure from the world and his friends, but the pressure was even greater from home because his father was the old Grand Master who has ruled over the village for over 200 years.
Stumbling down the brick walkway sweating and panting because of the two mile run he just finished, the student fell at the front door to wash his face, hands and feet before he entered the holy temple where the rites and rituals were held by the Grand Master and the village people. Sitting in a cross legged position the student immediately dives into meditation with deep breathing techniques taught to him by his father, the Great Grand Master.
Guilt, dishonor, and greed were the words and emotions that were flying through the students head as he tried to quiet his mind and get into a place of oneness. How could I have done such a thing? I know better, why did I act the way I did? And how could I not have stopped myself before I did what I knew was wrong? These were the questions that he asked himself as he sat on the floor inside of the temple, hoping that he would never have to go through that again. Young and stupid is what I am, says the student. “I think next time I will stay in my place of meditation and not be tempted by my worldly desires.
Standing in the corner with the widest and most exhilarating smile, the Grand Master stood sensing and feeling what his son was going through, sitting there in the temple trying to meditate but being distracted by the feelings he felt. The Grand Master had developed the ability to sense when things were not right and his son he has known for the last 17 years, and he can tell that something is on his mind. About to walk over to his son, the Grand Master stopped in his tracks as he sees his son start to cry.
With tears welling up in his eyes, he cannot hold back the tears. Sitting, trying to meditate and forget about what just happened, proved to be too much for the young student. Trying to rationalize and find reasons for his actions, only left him feeling even more down than before. “My father can’t find out, my whole life will be over and I will officially be banned from my family, my friends and my home.” As this thought crossed his mind, the student began to panic and really feel like he has really messed up this time.
For over 18 years since the last prophecy from the oracle, the village people have been waiting for the prophecy to be fulfilled. This came in the form of a blessed child who would be born to the then 180 year old Grand Master of the village, who some say is a God walking in human form. The mysteries and stories have been alive since the Grand Master came from the south a long, long time ago. With him he brought knowledge and books of learning that he said came from The Ancients who lived long before he was ever born. The Grand Master claims to have been raised by The Ancients who now live as Mother Nature, and the books that he had came from himself, who learned from the Wind how to read, from the Sun how to write, from the Fire how to survive, and from the Water how to evolve.
Since his earliest memories, the student has known who he was and why he was here. He was the son of the Grand Master and his duties were to take over and lead the people of the village when the Grand Master was supposed to evolve to his next experience in life. Learning the ancient knowledge of his forefathers and mastering the techniques of meditations, the student was able to perceive and developed a knowing that he used in service to the village people. He developed friends and had fun hunting and learning about Mother Nature and all the varieties of life that lived inside of her.
Now sitting here thinking about the consequences that he would surely face if anyone was to find out what he had done, the student wept in sorrow. “I must tell my father and suffer whatever consequences, for this burden is too heavy for me to bear,” is what the student said to himself sitting in the temple. “No meditation or affirmation can take away how I feel about myself right now” is what the student felt deep down inside of his heart. Walking to the prayer room where his father the Grand Master would be praying, the student’s legs shook with nervousness and fear.
“Come and sit my son,” said the Grand Master as his son enters the prayer room. “What is the matter with your joy and happiness my great child?” Weeping, the student could not hold back his emotions. “I have sinned against you father and the Infinite Creator of love and light”. “How is that so?” says the Grand Master. “I have not told you the whole truth of my last pilgrimage to the east, while I was there, I not only learned of our neighbors and their culture for spiritual advancement, I have also engaged a synergistic energy exchange (sex) with a neighboring village girl, I have defiled my purity by us not being named to one another (married) and now I know of sin and can never take over the position of Grand Master because of my impurity”.
With a light laugh the master listened and let his son finish his tale of impurity and sin. “Come and embrace me my son.” As the student embraced his father he felt lightness come over him as if he was laying in a warm blanket on a cold frigid night. “Let your tears of pain and sorrow transform into joy and peace”. Let your struggles of yesterday be the outpouring of blessing for your tomorrow”. “My son, in life and love there are no mistakes or disqualifiers. The lessons of life and going through the experiences of life are the next step in our evolution as spirits being human. We are all on a journey of Self discovery, and you are on the next leg of the journey”.
“There are no mistakes and no coincidences, all of life is working together to bring you into alignment with who you are and why you are here”. The prophecies of old have told of a time when I would be replaced by a son born unto me on my 180th birthday”. “The lives that you will touch and lead will be different from the way I touched and lead the people”. “Your experience of energy exchange was not a sin against me or our Mother Nature, but was an experience that you needed to go through to get you to this place Right here and Right now”. “You have been in training for over 17 years in the temple in Mother Nature as well as traveling”. “All of that time you did not have temptations or desires because your attentions was always on spiritual matters and attaining more and more knowledge”. “Now your teaching and learning are bringing you to a place where you will use that knowledge in dealing with your desires and temptations, no matter what they are”.
"My son, you will lead our people once I’m gone, you will not only lead them from a place of spiritual knowledge, but will also lead them from a place of physical/bodily knowledge”. “How to deal with temptation and desires, you will learn and teach what you have learned, for this is the way it has been done for hundreds of years” Overwhelmed by joy and happiness the son sank to the Grand Master’s feet and thanked him for his holy words. “You see son, all things work out for your good, and what you call temptations and desires which lead to what you call sin, are really catalysts that you draw unto yourself in order to evolve and learn more and more about yourself”.
Thinking back to these old memories, the student, now Grand Master is sitting teaching lessons of acceptance and love. “The one thing you must always remember is that you must love yourself and your actions just like you love the one Infinite Creator”. “All experiences in life lead you to right here and right now, where you can look back and learn from the experience and know that that experience will lead you to your next, right here and right now”.
