MukhtarMusings

This was my third visit to Jupiter and as usual the Teacher was waiting for me in his home.
After some pleasantries he regarded me for some time, his mind calculating something I could not understand.
'Are you in pain'? he asked.
I hesitated but as I thought of an answer he continued.
'You did not follow my instructions. You only succeeded in adding pain to your pain. No, no, no...' he shook his heard, looking at me with pity.
'Now sit quietly with your spine erect. You may remain seated on the chair if you like. Now think of that part that hurts. Slash it with a blue light running from the upper left to the lower right, that is, diagonally. Yes, that's it. Dont fight the pain, dont try to erase it, because the blue light is the eraser. That's it'.
I did as he said and the pain on the left side of my head started to disappear, but not completely. After some minutes he spoke.
'Any improvements'?
'A slight one', I answered.
'Then blue may not favour you. Use white. Yes, use a white light instead'.
I obeyed and stayed at it for over five minutes. Suddenly my head began to go cold. I did not fret but kept on. The part of my head I was visualising started changing in my vision. I saw it surrounded by ice flakes! As the Teacher said, I allowed the vision to form and change without resistance. By the time I ended the session my pain had reversed to a sensation like a chilled head.
Gradually, the sensation, which was actually pleasant compared to the pain, eased and my head felt normal again.
'Wow!' I exclaimed.
'It was my fault', he said, 'I should have allowed you to choose your own colour'.
I was happy about this newfound knowledge and could not hide the smile on my face. The Teacher smiled too.
'Next time I'll teach you how to be your own prophet. However, I must warn that you are not to go about trying to heal people with this knowledge or it could harm both you and the person you are trying to heal. When the time comes for you to be a Teacher, I'll let you know'.

By the time the Teacher saw me off to the door, it was well past dusk and the brilliance of the Jovian environment thrilled me beyond words, but that will be a different story.

When I saw myself diving through a bright tunnel with a wonderful speed, I knew it was another mental journey. As I approached the gas giant I remembered musing over the planet for some days before this journey.

I "landed" on the gaseous environment and at first was a bit confused, but then I remembered the transparent being I had seen here on my last mental trip. We did not have much time to talk that day before something drew me back to earth. Now I was determined to find him.

The Jovian moons were clearly visible through the multicoloured foggy environment. I took a minute to count the ones on the western horizon. They were twelve, of different sizes, and giving out different shades of light which did not seem to be reflections from the dim golden orb of the distant sun. They looked like living objects, swimming in their orbits on their own volition.

I looked round. I was standing on a plain sheet of gas which changed colours at intervals. In the distance were some dwellings. Yes, dwellings made of material I do not know. As I made the intention to move towards them, I found myself in front of a small green bungalow. On Jupiter you move by thought or intention. Wherever you want to go, you are there.

Then I saw the majestically robed man I was looking for standing in front of the door, smiling. He looked like an earthling of about sixty-five years old. His beard was spotless white.
"Welcome, friend," he said, "come in".
When I had taken a seat he went straight to the point.

"I want to teach you a quick way to relieve pain, as a first aid only. It does not replace the doctor's advice or prescription.
When you have a pain in any part of your body, do the following:
1. Image the part of the body in a portrait style. Look at the image as if you are looking at a large photograph.
2. Imagine a blue line running across it diagonally from the top left to the bottom right, like this: \
3. Dont fight the pain. Simply observe the blue line shining across it for about five earth-minutes. Dont judge, dont dismiss, dont doubt. Only see it calmly.
4. You'll soon begin to see that the image is changing. Allow it.
5. End your session with deep gratitude in your heart and keep your mind on love.

You are sure to get instant relief from the pain or discomfort. It can also be used to cancel strong negative thoughts that creep into your consciousness. For example if the thought of a car-crash occurs to you while on a journey. Dont fight the thought directly. Let the blue light flash diagonally cross the image and hold it for some time, then let go. But remember to always visualise what you would rather prefer soon after this exercise".

Immediately he finished saying this I found myself back home on earth, in my parlour, watching TV.

If you were to ask a scientist if life exists on Jupiter or Saturn, he'll certainly say no. He's likely to cite reasons such as, they are gas giants, no life can be found there. The crushing gravity, pressure, no core etc etc.
That is what they understand about life.
One day as I mused over this matter, I found myself on Jupiter. One thing that captured my attention was the sky. It was filled with moons. It was beautiful. I thought, it will be a shame if there are no intelligent creatures to admire the scenery.
I looked at the environment. I was enveloped by thick 'smoke' which was surprisingly comfortable. I took a walk and contrary to scientific view, I was not crushed by the gravity. I was soaring. There was indeed no solid 'ground' to place my feet on, but nature provided a means immediately, whereby I simply soared to any chosen location.
Although it was day time, one can compare it to dusk on earth, but more beautiful due to the multicoloured moons overhead. Night time was indescribable. No natural weather condition comes close to that on earth.
As I was admiring the scenery, I saw something or someone moving towards me. It was a transparent man. He seemed to be made of the same material as the gaseous planet. I also noticed that we were close to a sea of mercury that floated gently. A strong breeze blew and I knew it was time to say goodbye.
'Earthman, do you come in peace?, asked the transparent man.
'Yes' I answered.
'You are welcome', he said, smiling.

In the Western hemisphere they talk of winter. In West Africa we talk of Harmattan. I've never experienced a sky raining snow and ice before. Must be pretty scary, but I guess the Harmattan will be just as scary to my Western friends.
One thing though, the aroma of Christmas dances in the air and the joyful laughter of children can be heard in every house.
Before politics hijacked religion in West Africa, this was a festive period for people of both the Muslim and Christian Creeds. Muslims knew it was in honour of Isa al Masih, Jesus Christ and never looked down on it. So also did Christians enjoy the Id days of the Muslims.
Alas for politics. We are now on each other's throats, thinking we are pleasing a God who really does not even see our differences.
The Harmattan is not meant for one sect or tribe. Neither is the sun or the moon. It is for man to exploit. As long as the sun or moon do not refuse to rise on any section of our community, no one can claim any monopoly of the love of God.
To my brothers and sisters world-wide, Merry Christmas.
