I could hear Alvaro talking as he came down the corridor. When he came into the room, the Elder was with him. I stood up and greeted the two men. “Is there something wrong?” I asked. Looking back now, if I had known where we were headed, I wouldn’t have asked.

           The Elder looked at me and said “Where is Robert?” I told him that he was bathing. The Elder told Tomas to go get him but not to alarm him in any way. Then he turned to Alvaro and said, “Get what I gave to you.” Alvaro left and the Elder told me to sit down.

         “I know you came to hear of the prophecies and to report to your elders. There is a matter I think is very important  and I must ask you to decide whether you want to see this through or not. If you don’t you must leave and come back only when you are sent for. If you stay, it is for the duration of this conflict but, I must know now!” The Elder looked intently at me.

        “May I know what I am agreeing to?” I asked.

        “I’m afraid I can’t tell you,” he said “it’s up to you.”

         Without hesitation I said “Do you need me?”

         The Elder spoke softly, “Only if you can commit, there is no journey back. I do not know the whole of it so I couldn’t tell you even if I wanted to. It could be dangerous, I don’t know. I know inside myself that it could be a lot more than it seems right now.”

        I remembered the intense unification I had felt and the love for this way of life. I heard myself say, “Im here.”

       “For the duration?” asked the Elder.

       “For the duration," I replied. My words sounded far away from me but they were clear and decisive.

           Robert responded by saying “What you are saying is that the newly born Spirit of a person becomes separated psychically into fragments of its true nature by events which it cannot totally synthesize nor rationalize. Even though it continually tries to put its ‘self’ back together. There can only be harmony when the person learns to be a part of a non-understandable whole. An individuation within this WHOLE.”

        “That’s a glimpse” said Alvaro.” The internal part of you and me must learn to be one omnipresent energy which has put all its energy systems in one vibration. Then this vibration can harmonize with the at-one-ness. This purification is necessary for the stored Spiritual Knowledge to be induced.” 

         I had been listening intently and I added my understanding to the conversation. “It is the eastern system of abolishing the ego and transcending into the creative vibrations of life. The chakras must be attuned into one current vibration. Most people live in feelings and emotions. Most of our categorical knowledge can be a reference rather than a pivotal point of all interaction. Using the vibrational state as a way of Being allows us to act not just react.”

       Alvaro looked at me. “I think I see what the Elder sees in you."

                 Alvaro paused a moment then continued, "There must be a return to the Beingness of the entity before words. To the time of belongingness and the feeling of being where it belongs. This stopping-the-world must occur, so that each one us can experience the at-one-ness. This leads one to the existential awareness of being individuated within the Field-of-Life. A unique distinction which can never comprehend its totality but a distinction which can Be within the field of Relativity. This may sound simple but, it's not.

                  "There is the need for the essence of a person, which we call Spirit, to emerge psychically with the internal systems.  This emerging allows a merging with the Spirit-of-all-things-living. Once this centroversion occurs, then the individuated Being begins purification and seeks Harmony with Creation.

                   Alvaro paused, "this is my interpretation of what 'the Elder' spoke to me. Not only was it true for me but, this stopping-the-world and this centroversion of personal energy opened the doorway to an eternal now.

                    "I hope I haven't made this sound too simple because everyday I have to center and work in harmony with the Great Spirit of Life. Is this a different approach to everyday existence?"
