Dream Girl
By Phil Penner
Sadness bled from
her countenance as Aponi sat next to the stream. Water trickled down from the
family compound in San Pablo City in the Philippines. Fear trembled through her
vision of the future, how could she ever feel whole again? The motorbike
accident had robbed her of her left leg from above the knee.
“It breaks my
heart to see you in such pain,” said Adam, her auntie’s husband who was
visiting from Los Angeles. “A girl shouldn’t have to bear such a burden. Life
will get better, please trust in this.”
“It’s my father
that is wounded the most.”
“It is said by
many that God works in mysterious ways,” said Adam. “Perhaps someday you will
be able to thank him for the opportunities created by this misfortune and free
him from his chains.”
“That would give
me great pleasure,” said Aponi. “I love him so much, he would never hurt me.
But perhaps God just doesn’t love us or this would not have happened.”
She observed a
Gecko’s emerging replacement tail and asked, “If God loves me, why can’t I grow
a new leg the way this gecko grows a new tail?”
“Ask not if God
loves you,” said Adam. “The question you need to resolve is, how much do you
love yourself?”
Aponi looked up
and deep into Adam’s eyes, her soul poured forth and her lips curved slightly
in testimony to her truth.
“I see,” said
Adam. “I will think of you like a chrome gecko that gives off more light than
it receives. Your light will never been extinguished, it will be reflected
through creation…. You like this gecko, will maintain faith. The intelligent
gecko will employ strategy to obtain the best spot along the stream, it does
not alarm the insects by racing about. Instead it trusts that eventually an
insect will be offered up, then seize upon the opportunity. The Gecko has but a
very small mind yet like you and I and every physical thing in this Metaverse,
we’re all connected to that which created us. We are all connected to the same
Akashic Field. Some choose to call it God others call it nature.”
“Nature does not
grow new limbs for people, it has never happened for anyone has it?” she asked.
“Nikola Tesla and
Albert Einstein were highly attuned to the Akashic Field,” said Adam.
“Everything that has ever been created sprang forth from this intelligence.
Everything that can be done is already available in the vast and timeless field
of creation. Your quest is to open your mind like a whirlwind of information
and filter out the path you are most connected to. Start with the image of the
gecko as your spirit guide. Pluck the information you need when it reveals
itself to you. Myself, as I grew older, I utilized several spirit guides to
intuitively light my path. Your quest is to open your mind to all of the
resources available to you and allow this intelligence to guide your path, no
matter how long the journey, until this dream
becomes manifest in the physical world or must evolve into a new one.”
“It’s too freaky,”
she said. “What if I start dreaming and a foot grows out of my stump? That
would be worse than no leg at all.”
“Don’t look for
what you don’t want. Take heart in what Jesus said that it shall be done unto
you as you believe. Humanity doesn’t have the tools to master nature but we’re
getting closer to replicating portions of it. Dream of the potentials that can
be extrapolated from the resources available to you and have faith that
something beautiful will come of it.”
“Okay,” said
Aponi. “You’re saying maybe I can build a bionic leg for myself.”
“If that is your
goal then work hard to achieve it,” said Adam. “But you are just beginning to
plan for a long journey, so you must filter through much information before
wasting time snatching a bug you don’t like, the Akashic Field may light your
way such as you can never imagine at this time.”
Aponi’s smile
warmed Adam to become a witness to her journey.
“Sometimes the
lightbulb just goes off, other times you may go to bed thinking about a complex
problem and wake up in the morning with the answer, the Metaverse has filtered
the information without conscious interference. This often works out well.”
“It all sounds
good but, I don’t know how that all works for me and, this is a tiny stream.”
“Yes,” said Adam.
“You may need an ocean of information to develop your roadmap.”
The traffic that wounded you is run
amok. Come to America,
No matter what type of path you pursue it’s very important
to have faith and purpose with a strong moral code to keep from damaging
yourself, these will make all the difference in your life.”
Aponi smiled and
said, “I will come to America.”
