This is a short fiction story that reflects some of my viewpoints and hopes. I hope you enjoy it.
Spirits, The True Story
Have you ever wondered why spirits are always shown as being bad?
In literature, the demon or banshee is always causing someone trouble.
In science, they deny that spirits even exist. They go to great lengths to prove there is no such thing. Life is a chance spark in
the mud.
In religion, there are angels (good and bad), God and a Devil. Not wishing to criticize any religion, but God is often said to be
“merciful” or “wrathful”.
Well I’m here today to tell the true story of a spirit, me.
I am not merciful nor wrathful. If I am angry, look out. Mercy is not likely to show itself but can. I’m usually not wrathful either.
What point is there in stepping on an ant’s hill?
Any spirit that comes down to that level is no longer a spirit but is a Homo Sapiens, call him Homo Sap for short or just Sap.
Then there is good and bad. Now who sets the standards for what is good and bad? To a duck, a hunter with a gun is bad. To
a starving family, a dead duck is dinner and is good. So it seems to be a matter of viewpoint.
Now, it can be fun to cause trouble. Actually, it is great sport and very funny to cause mischief. But again, so you can flood
the ant’s hill. That too becomes boring.
No, what any spirit wants is a game.
Now, a true spirit is huge and really is “all powerful” so there can’t be much of a game if you always win or know the outcome
before it happens.
So to get into a game, you must reduce a universe of beingness down to the catcher’s position in a baseball game. But there’
s a liability to this. Sometimes, a spirit experiences a shock of some sort and forgets to regain his actual size and position. He
actually over a period of time can becomes a Sap.
Now that is degrading but you’d have to realize this before you’d know what you were feeling. Mostly as a homo sap, you
wouldn’t feel it but if you had a clue of how degraded you are, you would just “think” about it endlessly and for no purpose or
result.
Often, a spirit just makes mistakes. In his basic desire to be good, the spirit will wish away the ability that caused or was used
to produce the mistake. It’s like “Wow, I never want to do that again” type thinking and sure enough, often we never do it
again.
As the centuries roll by, we make a lot of wishes not to do this and that and so find we have wished ourselves to a state of
inability. With the inability, confidence is lost and emotions turn from fun and play to darkness.
Look around yourself. Notice the people who laugh and those that are dark and “serious” about everything. The laughers are
the ones with much more ability.
A spirit can be anything. An animal, a tree or guardian of a forest or stream are all potential forms for a spirit.
In the old stories, a spirit would come along and drop a palace into the sand fully staffed with servants, food and all the
amenities needed to live in luxury.
Well the time of spirits of that power has passed but only for a span of time.
There is a new group of freed spirits. The new freed spirits have an advantage over spirits of the past.
The first advantage is that they know what they are and who they are. Can you answer those questions?
Next is that with knowledge, come control and power. True power.
For it was ignorance that allowed the spirits of the past to be trapped by themselves and others that wished them harm.
It is also true that the freed spirits were the more powerful spirits of the past. Truly, there was really nothing that could contain
them or harm them but their own thought that they were harmed or trapped. So with power regained and knowledge to
prevent its lost again, a new era is upon us.
So look about the world. There is still evil about trying to wreak man’s best efforts to survive.
But some of us are working to overcome the decline of homo sap. There is an effort to stop insanity, crime, drugs, reverse the
decline of “education” and free man to greater heights than ever known in this universe.
But most of homo sap is to far gone to even watch the game of life much less play in it. To change the game or create a new
one requires a bit of spirit.
Do you want to play?
Let me tell the future for you. Any spirit can do this and a powerful one is likely to make it happen! The freed spirits are
winning over the forces of evil. This I guarantee as I am re-learning how to create and uncreate this universe. When I create it
and recreate it, I will just not recreate things that should not be.
For example the fields of “mental healing” has been used by evil to trap man and keep him down. They are vanishing. Look at
the statistics as there are fewer and fewer of the guys who are supposed to know what they are doing regarding the mind.
Those left seem to be going to jail for crimes against their patient and insurance fraud.
Again, as I recreate the universe, it will improve. Now, this could sound like just the thing that gets a spirit a bad name,
uncreating things. Well, it could be but I guarantee, in the long run, a better world where honest free men can lead lives of
happiness.
