Recently, a voice has been whispering to me often. From where? A complete mystery. The voice feels male, and from a different place and time. He ends his messages with the bit, “The One Who Knows.” The following is a transcription of what is coming to me. It feels like tuning in to a particular radio station and simply writing down what I hear.
Where are the devils forming in you now? Drink from fiery cups before it’s too late. Let the ways of the Old Ones shape you and move you. Wind bellows from the deep in ways that are hard to decipher. Eloquence is not a matter of language, but of delivery. Your power is not in your words, but your phrasing, your frequency of tongue. Rare bits of information are coming to you now. The lyre is singing for you, the hollow hills are beckoning. There’s no answer to this life but the power has got to get a hold of you. Madness is the key to your heart. Wrinkle yourself free of the chains of obedience. You are not meant to be of the common people. You must exist in the shadows and deliver your beauty like arrows from a distance. The lakes, rivers, and streams will all show you the way. I have a message for you from the Great One:
FREE YOURSELF FROM IMPROPER BROODINGS. DON’T BOTHER YOURSELF TOO MUCH WITH THE HAPPENINGS OF THE WORLD. WRECKLESS BEATINGS FORSAKE THE MIND THAT IS GONE. WILD THINGS, NATURAL THINGS POINT THE WAY HOME. THE BELLY MUST BE FILLED WITH AIR TO MOVE FORWARD. HE IS YOUR FATHER BUT NOT THE ONE THAT LEADS YOU. A GRAPE VINE OF WONDROUS MEDALS WILL APPEAR. TAKE THEM AND ADORN YOUR COTTAGE, BUT NOT FOR SHOWCASING YOURSELF. ARROWS WILL BE SLUNG AT YOU, BUT YOU MUST RETURN TO YOUR COTTAGE. NO TIME FOR PLAYING GAMES OF THEIR KIND. LAUGH YOUR WAY HOME – SING, DANCE, BREATHE THE FIRE THAT IS IN YOU. SHOW THEM WHAT YOU’RE MADE OF. HAPPENINGS OF GREAT DISTRACTION WILL ALLEVIATE THE PAIN OF YOUR NECESSARY TASK. KEEP DEEPING YOUR TOES IN THIS WORLD – THE OTHER WORLD YOU KNOW. I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU OF YOUR IMMENSE POWER. IT COMES FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE. THE MAN WITH HORNS IS YOUR GUIDE. HE’S IN YOUR GUT. LET THE INSTINCTS RUN WILD. HE IS NOT AN ENEMY, AND HE MUSTN’T BECOME A FOE. DRINK FROM THE FIRES OF CREATION. HANG YOUR HAT ON THE EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE OF THIS OTHER WORLD. FOR WE NEED YOU. THE ROAD IS UNPAVED. MASTERS WILL APPEAR TO TRY AND PULL YOU FROM YOUR KNOWING-BECAUSE YOUR KNOWING IS OF A POWER THEY CANNOT CONTROL. DO NOT BACK DOWN, DO NOT GIVE UP. SHOW THE WAY HOME. PEOPLE NEED THIS HOME. THE STAG AND THE HORNED MAN WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY. NO ONE CAN TAKE THIS FROM YOU, BUT YOU MUST PROTECT IT. THE WILDNESS WITHIN YOU IS UNTAMED. FEED THE FIRE, TAKE THE BREATHS, OPEN YOUR EYES INWARDLY, AND OUTWARDLY WILL CHANGE. THE BEAUTY WILL REACH YOU IN UNEXPECTED WAYS. DON’T CONFORM, DON’T GIVE IN. THE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE OF YOUR BREAST IS UNPARALLELED. TRUST IN THIS PLACE. HAVE FAITH IN IT. THERE’S NO OTHER WAY.
SEE YOUR STOMACH MOVE NOW. PREGNANCY, BIRTH OF SOME KIND. BUT OF WHAT? WATCH YOUR STOMACH MOVE AND FOLLOW THE MOVEMENTS AND SENSATIONS. TAKE THEM INSIDE YOURSELF, AND YOU’LL FIND HOME. THE BELLY KNOWS. I KNOW THAT YOU WILL COME TO KNOW. LAY YOUR HEAD DOWN AND TAKE A REST. DOORWAYS ARE OPENING FOR YOU, BUT YOU HAVE TO QUIET DOWN TO SEE WHERE THEY LEAD YOU.
