MAGI Chronicles PART 2: What Do You Serve?
Seeker — I didn’t know what had just happened. I had so many questions. But nothing felt real. Not anymore.
What I was accustomed to feeling as real, didn’t seem to really be there now. And I felt that fog again. I followed this MAGI, in the foothills of Boulder. He avoided trails, making his own.
But the trails he made seemed as if they had already been there. I wasn’t quite sure what was real anymore. It didn’t make sense. Nothing did.
I wondered who he was. And seriously. Was any of this real? I mean, I’ve seen some weird things in my life already. Ghosts. A possible vampire. Definitely energy vampires.
Oh, and in high school my first girlfriend was so psychic that she always knew when my parents would be home. Like within 2-3 minutes. We could have hot sex all the time all over my parents’ house, because we would always have just enough notice to stop and go to the privacy of my bedroom.
So many questions.
After a long while I asked the MAGI, “What happened? Where are we going?”
MAGI — “To go ask your question.”
Seeker — I didn’t think he got out much. Or maybe he does get out. A lot. Just not among people.
Then the MAGI turned to me. And he looked. Looked straight into me. Seeing something so clear, I could feel his gaze pulling at a truth I hold only but an inkling of. A faint whisper …. But it got louder than longer he looked.
And then he said something so beautiful. It wasn’t just words, but something else. Something so sweet, so pure, so true. I could feel all of that. So what he said I can never forget.
MAGI —
“To become a MAGI, one must heed the call.
The call of a remembrance, faint as it may be, and drowned out by a cacophony,
Within a modern civilization that refuses to listen.
But always there for all to see …
And listen. And listen you must!
And look. And look you must!
And remember! And remember you must!
Above all, remember! You must remember the truth of who you really are.
And there. Always there! There is something true to you, and no one else.
Your truth dwells within a deep slumber, covered by lies, rejected by science, and feared by those so insecure they seek force over power, hurting all in their path.”
Seeker — Now he was talking like Yoda. And I felt sleepy…
He shook me, just as I felt a familiar fog returning. Until now I had never realized this fog was anything but just how I experienced life.
But as he shook me, I felt myself returning. Become sober to a different reality.
MAGI — “Yes! Yes! That is it! That fog is what we call, ‘THE GREAT FORGETTING’. That cacophony of everything outside you clamoring for your attention, luring you away with anything but the truth. Your truth. Your deeper truth.”
Seeker — He shook me again …
MAGI — “Seeker, You must remember!”
Seeker — I felt the urgency in his command.
It was far from a weak non-committal, usual — oh please, if maybe you might possibly be able to if it is convenient for you to …
At this point I implored him, “How? How do I remember?”
MAGI — “You must ask your question. The question all must ask if they are to remember.”
Seeker — He looked again, that piercing and unwavering gaze at something. Something he most definitely saw within me.
And then he asked it.
MAGI — “WHAT GOD DO YOU SERVE?”
Seeker — I stood there. Just taking that in. He didn’t just ask. I FELT him ask the question. I FELT him COMMAND me with that question.
He demanded that I wake up. That’s what I felt. I can’t explain his question exactly, his command.
But I can say that some questions are felt. Questions are not even said out loud, but because we FEEL them, we HEAR them.
MAGI — “What force, belief, cause, person, thing, idea — WHAT. GOD. DO. YOU. SERVE?!”
Seeker — The way he said it. Again, I FELT it. But I didn’t understand. It went against something else I felt.
And before I could say my thought – ‘I do not understand the question’, he nodded.
MAGI — “Good. Yes, you FEEL what I am asking. But! You also feel that something else. THE QUESTION is the antidote to that something else.
You are feeling this …”
Seeker — What he said next went against all of my indoctrination. Against the fiber of everything I had learned and experienced up to that point. Wall Street (business). Madison Avenue (marketing). The media. Politicians. Teachers. My parents. Books. Trainings. Workshops. Friends. Lovers. EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE.
MAGI — “You are not here for you. You never were. But no one remembers this anymore. It has been long-forgotten. And within what was once known, but now forgotten, is a code.
A long-forgotten code. Before I can explain anything more, you must FEEL that which you serve.
You must MEET that which you serve. And you MUST know that which you serve.”
Seeker — I had no clue to what he really meant. But by then we had come to a large hole in the ground. A cave opening, about 6 feet across. It went dark into the earth.
MAGI — “You do not understand, because this is not something to understand. Life is not to be understood. Not the life I am talking about, and the life you want.
Seeker — This question can only be answered by feeling what you have denied all your life up to this point.”
Then I felt that dizzy fog. Again. Now I knew it wasn’t natural, just normal. I had always felt it.
I DIDN’T LIKE IT!
MAGI — “You must begin!”
Seeker — Then he pushed me. Hard. Into the earth.
AND SO IT BEGAN …
