SASQUATCH SHORT STORY: ‘A Game Of Marbles’

An Epic saga, written in short story form, by John Ghazzawi.

(based on a true story)

Samhain / Halloween — night of October 31st, 2017.

I arrive home from work. After helping my brother feed hoards of candy hungry kids, I cook up and eat dinner. Standing in the kitchen with the TV off, putting dishes away, I faintly hear … “go sit quiet, we want to talk”, really quite whispers that seemed to be felt between my ears, if that makes any sense…

I go upstairs, into my room. Turn the lights off and lay on my bed. As I lay there breathing, eyes closed, hands on my heart. I slowly settle into myself. into a place where there is no time, into a place where there is no Me, a place where there is only unconditional love. My mind calm and at peace, it’s frivolousness tamed by the power of my undoubting will.

This is a place beyond distraction, a place beyond separateness, a place I know we all share, within. This is my inner sanctuary, my inner fortress, strong and unshakable. courageous and kind. An inner palace where I find peace and solace from my unruly and misguided senses. a Place which I am called to know. An inner place that gives patronage to the outer. a place where I return to often. for I know its walls are boundless. A place where there is only faith and love.

— — —

Then! the familiar feeling of being graced by my teacher presence ensues. my skin absorbed in light hearted vibes. ah! such a great feeling, one that I know only comes from the heart. goose bumps and reassuring skin shivers felt throughout my entire body. just electric!

Then, I hear “Hello John, I am here”

“Elder Brother, hello”, I say in my head with confidence.

Suddenly, I start hearing breathing. rhythmic and paced. a shamanic breathing that flowed right through me, completely overwhelming my senses, inspiring feelings of comfortable delight. My Heart coddled in its ebb and flow like pebbles dancing on a calm sandy beach. whispering a tone that rings in my ears, like the silent emergence of the waking dawn. almost unperceivable, yet unbounded and imminent.

The crucible of my heart shines brightly. a point of light appears! I know what awaits. I go to it faithfully. immediately, I find myself immersed in a visionary state. a conscious awareness more real and alive then anything! so whole, so tangible and full of sensation. immense feelings usually dulled and numbed by my five senses. This subjective realm of my imagination feels so real, so complete and full of infinite potential. This is a whole other world that exists. an inner world subdued by our waking senses, leaving our ‘normal’ state of consciousness seemingly bleak in comparison. a realm that embraces the whole of my being, one that understands my true nature, one that radiates immense feelings of compassion and empathy as I transcend into an infinite world absorbed in graceful love light.

Suddenly, I am in a cave, sitting on the floor. Everything is lite with a dim but prevalent etheric light. I am crossed legged in front of my teacher, he graces me with a friendly smile. his huge body poised in the yogi’s position of meditation. large and formidable, a seemingly terrifying Wildman. yet a kind giant I know whose heart is pure.

He is a Great seer whose foresight and vision are limitless. a Shaman whose wisdom and knowledge of the cosmos is unconfined. He is a trusted brother, a healer, and father. he is the leader of his local tribe, strong and loving. his people hold him in high regard for his compassion and kind heart.

To me he is a Friend. This is an ancient Sage of another species. we are playing a game of marbles on the ground. He smiles, as I look into his confident, optimistic eyes. “We are proud of you for not smoking John”. he says clearly to me with mind speak, and feelings felt right through my whole body.

“Brother, Thank You for helping me. I honestly thought I needed it… I see now it’s a crutch, one of which I thought I needed to walk. little did I realize I could not only walk fine without it, but this crutch was stopping me from running. it was limiting my true potential. I know this now”.

“Thank You Sincerely Elder Brother. Bless You”. I say to him.

He replies, “You are Divine beings, you should never make a shadow in the place where your soul sits. This is your temple, Your body. You must always have much respect for this. Do not dishonour the wonderful gift of a physical body”. as he gives me a stern but happy look.

“We are proud you listen to us John, we understand this can be difficult at times”.

“Thank You for your patience and dedication elder brother”. I say wholeheartedly.

“We Love You”, I hear as gentle whispers move me profoundly….

I smile, as a tear falls from my cheek, a solitary tear that flowed unhindered from my heart. a single tear that touches all of humanity with its passionate empathy.

“John, we want to share this with you”.

As he picks up the marbles and places them into his right hand. He looks at me directly and says, “pay attention”…

… The marbles start to glow, like beautiful fireflies resting in the palm of his large hairy hand. My eyes wide, in awe as his whole hand starts to glow brightly with a beautiful white light.

He says,

“The Great Creator, The Great Spirit make this glorious creation. The great creator is omnipresent love light, nondual, divine and eternal.

Everything holds spirit from this great divine being. Spirit holds infinite consciousness. everything is alive with this everlasting light of compassionate awareness. A loving light that holds everything in its virtuous embrace. This is the light of ‘God’ as your people call it. this light is part of this great divine spirit. the great creator, as our people call it. ‘God’ is not in the form of a human, ‘God’ is everlasting consciousness that transcends time and space, touching everything from the tiniest fundamental particle to the largest intergalactic super cluster.

This source, this primordial life force. this light is the fundamental constitution of the universe. it is the base fabric of the universe.

This light is within Us All.

Now, as you start realize, there are many layers / densities to this creation. each has its own characteristics and properties. ‘Physical matter’, as your people know it” is a ‘heavy’ form of this creation. There are many levels between Spirit and Matter, dimensions as your people call it. there are a variety of energetic levels, densities of creation All of which exist within the whole. each level has unique forms of life, fully expressed within that realm. what you know as ‘matter’ is the ‘densest’ form, the ‘thickest’ form. Unfortunately, to your people it is the only form. They are being misguided.

As we teach you before, all life has the spark of soul. The great creator give the gift of Souls to this creation.

(as he gently throws the glowing marbles on the ground in front of me).

All souls are part of this great spirit. Each is a unique spark, an eternal ray of light. a special and divine gem touched with infinite conscious love light.

The Great Creator give the gift of FREE WILL to each Soul.

This makes a universe of ‘apparent’ duality. The Great Creator is not dual. There is only what you call ‘duality’ because of free will. The Great Spirit is only true love and light, infinite compassion and grace.

Understand, this Universe is a playground for experience, soul growth and evolution. Souls are free to choose their actions. They are free to choose to get brighter with light, or darker with shadow.

‘Light’ and ‘dark’ act through your every thought and action. as we tell you before, “always keep your thoughts pure and true”, “where your thoughts go little Brother, your actions will follow”.

This inner light, in your chest burns brighter than the flames of a trillion candles, You must never extinguish it. We are all here to learn, grow, help, love and co-exist in peace, then we return to home to the source. Back to the Great Creator, when our time is right. sometimes this takes many lifetimes. providing numerous, diverse experiences that feed and grow your soul light. But only through love and compassion will you shine.

Our souls are like celestial star seeds awaiting divine blossom… but this flowering will only come if you choose to be a good gardener. Growing only with nurturing love and light. Fruiting only with care and compassion, for all of creation. This special gift speaks through your heart, It must be used right, you must always listen. To fruit this divine blossom is your choice and yours alone.

This vast and incomprehensible universe holds an infinite number of life forms and civilizations, beyond your minds conception. Some are billions of years ahead of you scientifically, spiritually, and technologically. Others are still in the preliminary stages of development holding only primitive forms of life in this material density.

Earth is a magnificent, jewel of a planet, one with an unbelievable range of bio diversity, holding a hugely vast array of life forms and species. A garden planet that has been able to flourish, granting additional opportunities for souls to grow, experience and develop. This is no accident, it has been helped and aided over the eons by Star nations modifying and introducing genetic material. this is done benevolently to help biological diversity and the spiritual development of young, precious worlds and the souls they harbour.

Many Star nations understand these spiritual teachings. They respect these universal laws. They choose peace and co existence. They are aligned with the protection of free will on younger worlds and throughout galactic sectors.

These are the star people that seeded many life forms on Earth, including your and my people, many eons ago. They respect individual free will and collective choices made by species. They have watched over your spiritual and evolutionary development, guiding and helping it at times. This is again one of those times. They are here to offer help, if Your people choose to act in peace and unity. They do not impose their existence to a planet on mass if the collective consciousness has not developed enough to grasp, come to terms with and understand this truth, maturely and responsibly. Our people have always kept this spiritual knowledge strong in our culture. and our elders especially, have always stayed in contact with ambassadors from peaceful star nations, those who understand these universal laws”.

He looks at me with a sharp gaze, and says, “please don’t be scared little brother but in contrast, there are other Star People that do Not understand this spiritual knowledge. They have forgotten the eternal light of their souls. The equality of the divine spark within us all. This small group of star people try and control worlds, they are aligned with greed and power they have snuffed out the light of their souls.

Do not be frightened little Brother, but they are here on Earth.

Those Star People came here long ago & tried to impose their rule on your people, outright. This was stopped by the Star Nations choosing peace, during intergalactic wars which are noted in some of your peoples most ancient manuscripts. This escalated to the point of almost causing a mass extinction event on this planet.

Since the freewill on this world is protected by peaceful Star nations, these other beings now have taken a different approach. They try to persuade you, and to control you. They use subversion and infiltration tactics.

They have made a bad promise with a small group of your people, some that choose to have power over peace and greed instead of goodwill. They try to create disorder and violence keeping your people distracted and fearful, locked into the temporality of their minds. Your people choose to follow. enslaved, bound by invisible shackles, intangible boundaries, disconnecting them from the wisdom of their divine soul. disengaging you from a realm where nothing is impossible. a place where the boundaries of your physical body are meaningless, and the light of your heart touches all of existence with loving kindness.

Your people have been distracted, subdued, and tamed by these beings, and the few of your people that choose to stand with them. This has been going on for a long time. They have applied controlling systems to keep your people enslaved. They have provided erroneous religious beliefs, implemented crooked economic and political systems. They have fed your covetousness and materialism in a society based on blind consumerism. They fund and fuel your endless fighting and horrendous war machines.

They want you to turn a blind eye to the overwhelming poverty, injustice and inequality created by these destructive vices. They don’t want you to care about the destruction of earth. This living being, our sacred Earth Mother, which is not their home.

Please little Brother, your people must understand. Time is very short!

Earth has become an increasingly fragmented world with some people living in the stone age and others possessing advanced technology, much of which has been hidden and suppressed by the elites ruling this planet. an apathetic world with some having plenty, with all their wants fulfilled, and others seeking just basic human needs. a divided world with some that understand the spiritual nature of the cosmos and others that don’t, holding only a very basic scientific understanding, dismissing any inherit purpose.

This is a society of the mind which focuses on division and separateness, Fear and Greed. This is a Critical time for Earth. We have reached a cosmic crossroads. the point of no return. Change must happen now. before it’s too late. It has escalated again, this time with deeper and more devastating consequences. Ultimately, your people must understand we are on the brink of another possible mass extinction event. Your people must choose to wake up NOW!

You are like a beautiful song bird, caged! No longer able to spread its wings to fly above the thick clouds and foggy moors. unable to soar freely across the vast, bright sky and through brilliant sunbeams. a caged bird that is dependant on sustenance from it’s owner. a song bird that gets instructed on what and when to sing. a bird distracted and fearful of what lays outside its cage, ignorant to the possibilities. This is a cage that limits your true potential, a cage that keeps you domesticated like livestock.

This cage, so cold and indifferent. it doesn’t care about you, it doesn’t want to understand you, or heed to your merciful calls that the cage is too small.

.. That this is not right…. You must choose to see this, you must choose to defend yourselves! You are blind to the fight if you believe there is no cage…

Contrary to general belief this cage has the door open. fore you are only faced the wrong way. you must choose to turn around. you must choose to see the truth. you must choose to face this however hard it may seem. you must choose to see the door has always been open…

You MUST exercise your free will, or submit to control through the consent of inaction. Please understand you’ve been duped into believing this seemingly locked cage, is the only reality. This cage is an illusion created by a dark cabal trying to control this planet.

Little Brother, please also understand that your people are also being infiltrated subconsciously by these beings. Your people already have telepathic capabilities inherent with you all. This has been subdued by these entities and the few of your people who choose to consciously stand with them. This is done by means of ridicule, fear and lies, keeping your people in disbelief and ignorant to this truth. Your people, like mine can already can communicate through soul telepathy instantaneously across vast distances, with no need for technological devices. This is an ability given to us by the great creator and helped by the star nations that seeded us on this earth. Your people are completely unaware that this is even possible, let alone happening. These negative entities feed you with fear, doubt and anger subconsciously, hindering your heart and the abilities of the soul.

Please understand that this has been going on for a long time, your people have been covertly manipulated using subconscious suggestion by this small group of negative Star people, and controlled physically by your people that choose to stand with them, for their own selfish interests. This is why things are increasingly troubled on this planet, as your people are being controlled mentally, emotionally and physically. Your people are unable to distinguish between your own minds and the subconscious suggestion being perpetrated against you. Free will is up to you, but these entities don’t let you choose, by bombarding you with negative thought forms subconsciously. you are ignorant this is even happening, letting you become manipulated by beings that do not respect freewill. because you think these thoughts are yours and choose to follow them blindly. again, this is happening on many levels.

Stop falling for the lies, fear and doubts that are being fed to you by these demented entities. Stop submitting to your own peoples efforts to control you, using systemic means and psychological warfare.

The Star nations that stand for peace and respect free will and your choices will help but only if you choose NOT to fall for this deceit. If not, they cannot get involved, as they let you choose your thoughts, actions, and subsequent outcomes. This is why my people are trying to help you understand this truth, as more and more of your people ‘wake up’ to this it will be much harder for the dark cabal to control you individually and collectively.

We understand this is difficult to come to terms with, but necessary, as you have lived in ignorance and denial for too long. there is no more time to spare. you must listen with your heart, as the truth is there, awaiting discovery and re-connection.

Discernment is one of your greatest tools. now more than ever your people must choose to see the truth. They must choose to come together. They must choose to reclaim sovereignty over our Earth, and your own divine souls.

Your people must understand that this alien invasion is in its final stages. As we show you before in a vision, if your people still choose this path they will merge technology into their body and minds turning them into cyborgs becoming completely controlled by their masters. No longer able to choose… no longer able to love or heal. No longer able to feel compassion and empathy, and to live free in loving thought and good deed.

This is a path that you cannot return home from, one with devastating and lasting consequences. As you know, this is that time. This dark cabal is already conditioning your people to accept this future. Please Beware!!

This is their end game… How long will your people dance blindly into the flames? Like a moth to fire, unaware of it’s choices. dazzled and confused, blinded by the tainted sparks of separateness, tantalized by the false light of illusion and desire. A moth burned and charred by its own choices.

YOUR PEOPLE MUST LISTEN, YOU MUST STOP THIS! THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!

— — —

My heart sinks. my eyes tear profusely …. my breathe stutters as I start to panic…

“John, you’re going into shock, you must breathe. please focus”. he says, as I find myself again laying in bed trying to get a grasp of my uncontrollable breathing. my body shaking with vicious spasms, and trembling violently…

“Breathe little brother, breathe”. he says with a soft, deep comforting voice

After a few minutes, my mind slowly settles and I return to the cave.

Looking at me with optimistic eyes he says,

“There still hope, faith, love. There is still time for your people to choose.

You must choose heart.

You all know the truth inside. This light will always guide you. This light will always show you the right choice to make. This light has the infinite power to heal, and to free your mind from the invisible chains of impossibility.

Your people must be their light hearts. choose to follow your hearts when faced with choices, always. Live with joy, compassion, peace, empathy and respect in your hearts and minds. This must be a focus individually and collectively. Live in the moment, live with love, in a state beyond separateness. be humble, be kind, be gentle. there is no space between our souls.

This little brother is the path with heart. every thought, every action must be guided by this, keep them pure and true, always. Following your heart light will make your soul blossom to flower, not fade into shadow. Always remember little brother, everything you touch with your heart turns to gold.

— —

The key is breath, the answers lay with the connection to your soul light. We teach you how to do this before. there is much more to learn, I will help you when you are ready.

Your people must connect your body to your soul and spirit, through practices of breath. Raise your inner luminosity, connect your earth body (physical body) to your light body (astral body). Cohere to your celestial self (spirit). Raise your consciousness to higher planes of spiritual awareness.

See and shine the divine Light within yourself, (soul light). Listen to your soul, which speaks through your heart, timeless wisdom lives there. a whole other Universe of love light awaits. Be bright with all your thoughts and actions and your soul will transcend into higher planes of awareness as it continues on its celestial journey, back to ‘God’.

NEVER let your soul slip into unconscious lethargy. NEVER let it fade into the shadows. NEVER give up the Fight! This is the path of a true warrior!

John, please help others understand this. My people can see your soul light, it is strong. Follow it and you will do great things for your people. Please have no fear, you will be well received. The future will be bright

(back to the game of marbles). (glowing marbles lay on the ground)

“Our souls are like the marbles”, he says with a sure and steady tone to his voice, as he uses telekinesis to return all the glowing marbles to his hand.

“It’s easy, this Game is Simple. This Game can be very hard, it will test you…. but it’s simple… it’s easy to understand”. he says.

Looking at me with a smile he says “Let’s play a good game”… The shamanic breathing slowly stops, my senses again familiar, tuned and confined to my normal waking state of awareness… every emotion I have ever felt flows through me…. (no words will do this justice).

“WOW”, I say aloud as I slowly open my eyes…. crying and laughing at the same time. “… What a Game…”

The choice is Ours and the time is NOW.

Faithfully,

John Ghazzawi
