Chapter One
I was born somewhere in Eastern Europe 35 years ago. In the Calvinist christening I got the name Steve Taylor. My bringing-up in communistic mentality, resulted me having an atheist view of life. My father worked as a carpenter, my mother as an administrator. My childhood was fairly diverse. I often thought a lot about great matters of life, such as life and death. I might have been about seven years old when I was having a bath one night and I started to cry, because I was wondering about what was going to happen if one of my parents would die and never tell me again Come here my son, hug me and give me a kiss!
Who is going to tell me: Good boy, you are clever
? I was crying very loud. First my mother then my father came into the bathroom, and asked me:
My son, what happened to you? What is the problem?
But I was just standing in the bathtub and sobbing. I struggled against the tears streaming from my eyes with my two little fists, with not much success. They managed to calm me down only after a long time. Every night for a whole week, in the bathtub I was weeping, but only quietly.
Now I know that it was not useless, but somebody could have told me!
Do you change clothes? How often a day? How do you do this? Slowly or quickly? Do you remember what were you wearing after you took it off? Do you know beforehand what you put on or do you just choose it by guess? Imagine that death is only a changing of clothes: you put on some other clothes somewhere else, and keep on living. You can ask how
? Well, I suggest that everyone should choose the one which is the best according to his or her abilities and the information that he or she possess!
I might have been 16 years old, when one afternoon I was lying on my back in the bed. I was alone in the house; I turned my head a bit aside to let my tongue block my throat. I started breathing in turns, through my left and right nostril. I put together my two feet, and crossed my arms on my chest. I started to slow down my respiration, and at the same time I let all my thoughts go except one.
I want to fly!
I kept on saying the same to myself without thinking on any specific method to do this.
I did not rise from the bed, but I didn’t even want to.
Whereas, something absolutely different, unexpected thing happened!
I was not thinking of anything, I was lying there motionless. Suddenly I felt like something opens at the middle of my skull, and slowly great warmth was overflowing me till my toes. My body was in heat, like it was pure lava flowing from a volcano. I became very hot, then I suddenly sat up. I looked back on the bed and saw myself lying on the bed from torso and down. And I saw something else: a brightly shinning silver cord was attaching me to my real body.
I could stare at this only for a few seconds, since a voice that existed merely in my mind warned me that I have to turn back. However, in the next moment something else happened as well…
I am here. Did you want to fly? Come with me.
I was very surprised, as I realized my first visitor of the astral world wearing a black wide-brimmed hat and a black poncho. We started to communicate, but it was not really reassuring: I was afraid from his figure vibrating in black. Suddenly, I gave away to weakness; I had to put my hands involuntarily over my mouth. I slightly leant forward, and all my teeth fell into my palms… or at least according to my feelings.
Both of my bodies started to shake. An undetermined weakness, nausea, sickish feeling overwhelmed me. My first thought was this: loss of power! My teeth fell out! They are also parts of my bones. The frame weakened!
I won’t go with you now. Thank you for the possibility. For me this is the first time. I will find you later.
I replied, concentrating very hard on this thought.
All right, as you wish. I will wait for you. See you next time.
and he disappeared.
Since then we have become close, good friends. He became one of the determinant members of the family from my other world. I like him, as the others as well.
However, after the first visiting I retired to myself, and to my body lying on the bed, and slowly sat up. I remembered everything. A form of unspeakable terror took over me.
I might have been about to die, or what was this?
Now I sat up with my whole self, and reached into my mouth with both hands. I was searching for my teeth, could find all of them. Until today I have them all, and they are stronger than ever.
I’m grateful for the trees of the forest, which I choose during my long bike tours. These are sympathetic trees for me, and according to my feelings they give me a huge amount of energy. I take a walk to them, while hugging them I concentrate on energy transfer: I get it from the earth through them. From the beloved, ancient Mother Earth, who is the base of everything.
While riding on the bicycle I feel the power of the wind. The air imbibes me, fills all my cells up with energy. As I’m passing by, I feel the sweet breeze kissing me.
Arriving to a lake, stream, or standing in the rain, I feel the power of the water as it pierces through everything, and slowly it smashes gigantic mountains to tiny little stones…
But I could think of the fire, when staring at the fireplace I see the flames, and I feel as they warm me up and purify me from all illnesses and damaging thoughts.
But aether is the base of any other cosmic element. The focused slowed down breathing, that I practiced wittingly and unwittingly before, resulted that first I didn’t feel inhaling— actually I was not breathing in a physical sense.
The aether is what we are from as well. And after we passed through all the five elements, expending enough time on all of them, maybe our days can pass more calmly. All this can help a lot in the solution of our life problems. And for sure, we shouldn’t forget to listen to music either, since it is suitable for many things. According to latest research, classical music is very soothing for babies, while other music waves are able to bring the feeling or the pseudo-feeling of togetherness for people, who are under the effects of drugs or alcohol or only
suffering from inferiority complex, distress, lack of praise, and who try to be happy under these moments. Although, they are hardly aware that in the meantime they release enormous conscious energies. Namely, this vast amount of joy-searching, stress reducing self-forgotten dance is capable of freeing great inner energies. This effect especially catches the newly arrived ones, who firstly observe only unwittingly that they felt good. They experience the whole situation pleasant, which can be increased by the effects of drugs. For instance, marketing presentations held for many people, from any kind of product, can work perfectly based on this mass behavior.
But how exactly does this work? Well, a business man, who seems to be successful, makes a presentation and explains with the help of witnesses that his method is the only one which will help us to solve our financial and other problems, and only the money earned by the help of his system can make us a happy, family-loving person with a lot of free time, so all our aims, dreams could come true…
Chapter Two
Many people want to buy a new car, something sporty and perhaps fast.
Some people have these vehicles, but they can’t take advantage of them, simply because there’s no place to drive them. Although, they can tell their friends that they have it provoking their tribute in this way.
I was 18 years old when I got the driving license for automobile and truck. I have never wanted to get is for motorcycle…
I was supposedly fifteen years old when on a summer morning, the school was already over, there was a middle-aged woman ringing the door, of our house with a garden. She explained to my mother that my father, who always went to work with his motorcycle in those times, which was about twenty kilometers away, was hit by a bus in front of the woman’s house. Father flew ten meters into the bushes at the side of the road. At that time there were no cell phones. The lady got to know our address from the ambulance men, who managed to cut the leather jacket off my father, in which they found his identity card with his address. We went to the site of the accident. The broken motorcycle was there; it was bumped by a bus. It was the bus drivers fault; he didn’t give the priority on the road to my father. He never got the proper punishment, compared to the fact that he was driving drunk already in the early morning.
Next time I saw my father was in the afternoon, lying on his back in the hospital. It was the crash helmet that saved his life. The long green streak of bark on the top of the helmet showed that this is where he met the roadside tree. A fair-sized piece of skin was cut out from his shin, and was put this on his left thigh, because due to the injury he suffered, his muscles could be seen. Nothing happened to his head, the helmet protected it. He was in the hospital for more than eight months, because of different internal lesions.
These months awfully wore out our family. My younger brother cried a lot, I had to console him. My mother went to visit my father almost every day after work, when she came home sometimes she was happier, sometimes sadder. We always asked about our father. In the first few months she was quite down-hearted as well.
I was 20 years old when under the selective military service I passed the driving test for bus and container lorry (alias truck) as well. I knew, later on I will need them.
The day of my driving test for the car was Friday. There were ten of us on the practical examination. According to the list of names, I was the last one. As I sat into the car, first I adjusted the seat, then the mirrors. I got the order of practices for obligatory parking lots. I solved these tasks slowly and perfectly. Then we left the test routes, and drove into traffic. After a short time the inspector told me that his weekend house was close, and he was about to build a house on it, therefore he needed some cement, so we go to the closest building material lot and check the prices. He knew that I was going to do the practical driving test for the truck in the afternoon. We arrived to the lot and he found cement for a good price. When he sat back into the car he told me that I passed the driving test for car and now we were going to get the bigger car on which we will carry the material to his house, and if all of this happens, everything will be fine. And so it was.
I was enrolled for bus at the army as well. Beforehand I had to pass a psychological aptitude test. Doing it for the first time, I drove half of the bus at the side of the road. At that time we had an elderly, bearded driving instructor who was shouting at me for about 15 minutes then he told me to swap places with one of my soldier mates because he was not able to stand my style. For me the position of the driver’s place was determining, because in the truck, the half-way line was about one meter from
