Visions
2011 Words
I saw the young lad was pushing the same girl on a chair with wheels on it from a huge white building across a street. It looked like the wheelchair that was used to wheel the patients in the hospital of ours but the design looked rather comfortable as there's a nice cushioned seat and backrest.
The girl that the young lad was pushing had a small blanket across her legs and as they walked through some streets, they stopped at a swing set like the ones built by Ben and Frank for the school children to play.
But this was entirely made of metal and there was a black coloured seat in which the young girl was slowly ushered from the wheelchair and onto the swing. I saw the young lad spoken to her softly as he knelt in front of her.
Wow...! Is he proposing to her to be his wife... How sweet...!
Suddenly I saw the young lad closed his eyes and held his palm together and rubbed slowly. I saw a shimmering light emit from his hands but the young girl seemed oblivious to it. Maybe I could see this kind of things and that young lad could feel what he was actually doing?!
He then places his palms that he had earlier rubbed gently above the blanket that was still covering the girl.
Did this girl had some kind of accident that she can't make full use of her legs?
The moment the palm was placed on the blanket, I could see a pulsing light that emitted from the palms of the young lad's hands and into the blanket and somehow the light seems to radiate on the lower limbs of the young girl.
Oh...! Is the young man a healer or something? Is this what Priestess Isabela was doing in order to regenerate broken bones and regrow the amputated limbs?
Wow...! This young lad was sure a healer and was the girl's legs amputated or something? It seems that I could see the feet of the girl underneath the blanket. Maybe she had dead legs or something and had to be admitted to the hospital but I'm sure she would be alright, won't she?
A set of flurry images flew by, much to my dismay and this time it brought the image to an old building, like a monastery or something and the young man was cleaning up the altar and placing some incense sticks before bowing.
It looked quite serene and this time there was another lady with them, a middle-aged looking lady, wearing some sophisticated long dress but had some beautiful patterns on them.
The young man was also dressed in a similar one-piece sort of dress and the dress had some wisp of clouds and swallow in it while the girl beside him had red and pinkish flowers kind of motif designs.
They were bowing a few times before the altar and Y-E-S...! There was an exchange of wedding bands. YEAY... it looked like they had a happy ending and they all walked down the old place and entered a wagon with no horses in front of it.
Eh...?! Don't this scene before I looked rather familiar? I was told of such wagons without horses and would be ridden for many miles without stopping...! Is this the future Samuel was mentioning me about?
I saw the lad sitting behind a large wheel as he chatted merrily and traversed the wagon out into a large carriageway and I could see large similar multicoloured and shaped wagons all living without horses in front of them...!
Wow... If this is the future, does this means that the images that were playing in front of me were trying to tell me something?
A flurry of images brought me back to another place where there was another young lad and he was putting something inside his mouth and was puffing out billows of smoke from his mouth and his nostrils. He seemed like a fire breathing dragon and beside him was a different girl this time and an old bald-headed man, wearing a weird one-piece garb with a large reddish design in the centre.
From the looks of it, the design that was in the old bald-headed man looked like out town when we divide them into 8 directions. Weird... But it seemed to be connected to the design of our towns as well.
I saw the young lad was sitting cross-legged like what I was doing right now and facing him was a single upright candle and a piece of paper behind it against the wall.
I heard the bald man said to the young man, "Concentrate on the single light before you. I will extinguish it but you will use your internal energy to light it back up once again."
This voice repeated itself several times as the candlelight was snuffed as a trail of smoke was drifting from it. I could see the young lad crinkled up his brows to fully concentrate and then the snuffed candle in front of him spluttered back to life...!
How amazing was that? Using internal energy to light a flame? Is that magic or simply wizardry? Is the bald-headed man trying to say that the young man before me was a wizard and part of the Pagan like the rest of the Priest and Priestess?
Wow...! What a small world and what a coincidence...!
*SLAP*
I heard a resounding sound of a flat palm hitting the young lad's forehead. The next thing I heard was very intriguing and he said, "Your third eye is now being awakened. You can see why others are not meant to see and if you mention to others what you had seen, your life would be reduced greatly...!"
Eh...?! What is he trying to say about the third eye? Seeing what others can't see? Was he trying to tell me something and then the life could be reduced greatly if the talent was made known to others or otherwise?
Weird... Who wants to live a shortened life? A third eye that enables one to see what? I was piqued and I tried to inch forward to listen to what he was trying to say next to the young lad.
"Just a joke, don't take it too seriously... Haha." the old bald-headed man nonchalantly said and I nearly fell back in shock when I heard that a joke could even be mentioned during times like this.
"Actually, if you were to tell people what you had seen, not one would believe you in this time of age."
"However if you were to tell it to me or to some others who had come to this kind of enlightened state, they would believe you since they have also a third eye within their forehead to see the 'unseen' things."
Both the young lad and me happened to nod our heads together as if the bald-headed man was talking to not only the young lad but to me as well.
If he mentioned that he too may have the third eye, does that mean that he could see me too in this state?
But surely there's a better way to deliver a flat palm slap on the forehead to awaken the third eye? What if the third eye is on the palm of a hand and instead of the forehead?
"See this tiny candle flame, use your internal energy and focus and blow up this candle flame to be a ball of flame instead." the bald-headed man suggested next and I moved closer and was almost sitting next to the young lad as he concentrated on the candle flame in front of him.
After several failed attempts when the flame suddenly spluttered and died off and had to be relighted back using the internal energies, the small candle flame suddenly flared up slightly bigger than usual.
After a few more attempts that seemed to flow by slowly, the flare from the tiny candle flame suddenly burst forward into a huge ball of flame and hit the piece of paper that was stuck against the wall.
"Good... Good... Good... Keep practising your meditation so your fireballs would become bigger, or more intense as it improved over time. The more meditation you practised and the more fireballs you unleashed, it would also improve your healing and rejuvenation powers as well."
"If you could release your fireballs freely without using a flame as a medium, you could concentrate those fireballs to come out from your fingertips as well."
"Those concentrated fireballs would be much more intense as the flames that come out would be many more times per second and it would harm those spirits rather than scaring them away."
"Remember, the powers are in your hands whether it would be a cold flame or a hot one."
Wow...that young lad is sure like a combat wizard and could conjure up fireballs from the palms of his hands and also tinier fireballs from the tips of his forefinger as well?
How cool is that? That bald-headed guy even mentioned about spirits... Does he mean those undead spirits that roam the face of the earth? Does it also have to do with the third eye being able to see why others can't see? Like spirits and mythical creatures too?
The more I thought about it the more intrigued I become and the flurry of images flew again once more and this brought me to an era where there are no metal carriages without horses but mountainous areas and rice fields all over with thatched homes that scattered around.
It seemed that the era that had shown in front of me right now was more like the era that we are in but in different locations. The farmers were wearing a single piece of garb with some designs on it, had a straw hat on them and carrying a kind of long-bladed spear alongside them.
It looked like peacetime but the sight of these farmers welding a long spear at their sides seemed to be like in wartime instead.
Maybe it's part of their gear to safeguard the town as they toil the fields at the same time. The scene then zoomed to a young lad about the age of 13 or 14 years old and talking to a person about twice his age and was sitting down at the front lawn of a single-storied house.
It seemed the lad was either the young boy or the one beside him and after a session of drinks under the shade at an outdoor seating area, the two of them walked into the house and was carrying pieces of broken pieces of weapons and armour with them.
It seemed that these duos were up to something but I can't put a finger on what they might be up to with those broken pieces of armour and weapons.
Furthermore, the weapons they were carrying consisted of broken spearheads and bent swords while the armours were mainly broken helms and flattened metal chest plates.
Are these two people blacksmiths intending to repair the broken pieces of armours and weapons? If they were, the clothes that they wear did not describe the least of their trade at all.
At least a blacksmith would be wearing a thick leather apron to protect their clothes from the flying sparks as they hit their metal pieces on the anvil like what Old Jack used to do.
