Exceriting Portillo (Chile)
And I just now noticed that in these gold, sparkling waves are splashing with many entities ... Some of them were simply lying on the surface, smoothly swaying on the waves, others dived into the "gold" with her head, and were not shown for a long time, apparently, completely immersing In a mental "concert" and at all slowly from there to come back ...- Well, what do you listen? - An impatiently pushed me a baby.
We came closely ... And I felt the wonderful and soft touch of a sparkling wave ... It was something incredibly gentle, surprisingly affectionate and calming, and at the same time penetrating into the very "deep" my surprise and slightly wary soul ... At my foot run, vibrating millions of different shades, quiet "music" and climbing up, started to envelop me with a head of something fabulously beautiful, something that could not be any words ... I felt that I was flying, although no flight I did not have. It was fine! .. Each cell was dissolved and melted in the incoming new wave, and the glittering gold washed me through, carrying everything bad and sad and leaving in the shower only clean, primordial light ...
I did not even feel how I entered and plunged into this sparkling miracle almost with my head. It was just incredibly good and did not want to go from there ...
- Well, everything is enough already! We are waiting for us! - broke into the shining beauty of the energetic Stellin's voice. - Did you like it?
- Oh, still like! - I exhaled. - So I did not want to go out! ..
- Exactly! So and "bathe" some until the next incarnation ... And then no longer return here ...
- And where do they go? - I was surprised.
- Below ... Grandma says that here the place should also be deserved here ... and who just waits and rests, that "works" in the next embodiment. I think it's true ...
- What's there - below? - I asked interested.
- There is no longer so nice, believe me. She smiled Stella smiled.
- And this is the sea, it is only one or such a lot here?
- You will see ... It's all different - where is the sea, where it's just "kind", and where is just an energy field, full of different colors, streams and plants, and all this also "treats" the soul and soothes ... Only not I just use it - you must earn first.
- And who does not delete? Don't they live here? - I did not understand.
- They live live, but not so beautiful ... - Baby's head shook. - Here, just like on Earth - nothing is given for nothing, only here are quite different values. And who does not want - it gets everything much simpler. All this beauty cannot be bought, it can only be deserved ...
"You say now exactly how your grandmother, as if you learned her words ..." I smiled.
- The way it is! - returned a smile Stella. - I try to remember much, what she says. Even the fact that I still do not quite understand ... But after all, I will understand someday, however? And then, perhaps, there will be no one to teach ... So it will help.
