For Loved

Death and Rebirth

The Great Bear rested alone in the forest, a place, though not needed to his spirit, it was where he could always wrap himself in beauty and peace.
He would enjoy the trees where the light played hide and seek all day, as the leaves sailed with the gentle breezes. It was a world that as he thought of it, would be there to enhance his thoughts, part of the earth plain he loved so much.
A place of long gone memories, constructed from the ages of being, and ages of changing from one state to another as he journey toward perfection.
Now all the Great Bear had to do was to hold a thought to have peace within his ways, and memories of bygone days that would make the rest, as if a film set, but made up of perfection.
A leaf that fell through his vision held his attention, as it had in its present state become detached from the great tree that had given it birth. In this state, to those that walked the earth plain, they would deem it dead.
The Great Bear smiled, as he perceived their absolutes.
One is born, then one lives, then one dies, and the death is the simple end to their thoughts on the ways of things.
The Great Bear reflected on the true state of being.
Where the trials of human life, as is perceived by those that know of only an end to all things, was just a life.
The Great Bear’s true state, as he had been for so long a time, a spirit being, in having reached out so many times, to complete the cycle of living and learning, smiled at that thought.
He had now become a true spirit of the higher levels, choosing at this time to be a Great Bear, in recalling things, and journeying on through his own ways, talking of the ways of our own journeys here on the earth plain.
The Great Bear even in this present state of being was still learning and seeking the absolute perfection.
He could now recall, as the leaf fell through his field of vision, that each death was just a change of state, for a being that had walked the earth.
As death, as the human cycle calls it, changes the state of existence on the earth plain to the eternal existence of the spirit world. It can be a great shock to realise that a door has opened and there you are bare of all things material.
The Great Bear had to smile as it was a strange thing to perceive, let alone explain a state that is pure, where you are once again totally responsible for sorting out your spiritual being, then to realise the wisdom gained by the visit to the earth plain.
Judgment day the Great Bear smiled as it jogged a memory of what was a spiritually youthful worry.
The thought to be judged by ones peers ”NO” this was not the case, it was not needed he thought, as this was the real spirit world, where you and you alone were responsible for your own spiritual being, and to judge the things you had done, so that the continuation of your being could be steered toward the perfection we all strive for.
Death is but a return to spirit, where you will then be in love and truth of all things.
It is then that to find a space in the things you have already learned, or a piece of knowledge missing, that a return to the earth plain may be needed.
This continuous reaching out for all things is the road to perfection, and that time in spirit, has no grip on beings, as it does here on the earth plain, then the journeys are but a thought away.
The Great Bear thought of his Indian companion and there he was walking toward him
“Greetings my friend he smiled”.
“Do you wish me to make a point within those thoughts of yours,” He laughed.
As you are aware of all my ways as a guide to those that take the journey to learn, then you know old one that I am with them throughout their journey on the earth plain for as long as they are there.
To me, choosing to be a Spirit Guide is but a moment in time, and as you know time is only that space we conceive it to be.
To be born on the earth plain, is to many as a golden path where all things can be learnt of.
The memory fades for them as they return to face the material pathway. It is hard, if only they were more aware that our help and guidance is but a thought away.
The Great Bear walked with his friend to the edge of the forest, which flowed in their way of moving.
There before them was their joining of the Spirit world with the Earth plain.
There sailing overhead as always, with the eyes that see all, was the Great Eagle, another of his companions.
He called to them across the splendour,
“Love to you my fellow travellers, may you have the things you need, and the eternal love to you and all things”
The Great Bear reached out with love, touching the Eagle as he did his Indian friend.
They journeyed on.

It will take me two days to read this .
you know my digestive problems of poetic volition's
So kindly condense it to a few 4 or5 lines
which then like an arrow fire/spear directly into my mind

I shall await the new 4 lines version of thine
your knowledge is a gold mine.
mine is simply like red wine

Loved this is a write of the Great bears Wisdom I have tried to condense it to the following lines..

One is born, then one lives, then one dies, and the death is the simple end to a physical existence on this Earth Plain.
Death is but a return to spirit, where you will then be in love and truth of all things.
Where, you, and you alone are responsible for your own spiritual being, and to judge the things you had done here, so that the continuation of your being could be steered toward the perfection we all strive for.

As you need to achieve perfection, then you need to experience all things, maybe a return to the Earth Plain is needed.

Take care young Bard I hope this is short enough for your old eyes,
Love you as always, Yours Ian..
