This is from October 15, 2023. I saw the white bird and we look on each other for a while and then it flew away majestically. I remember earlier that day I was about to pick up a white feather, but my intuition told me not to pick it up and that I would find something greater and I did.
I think it was November, but around that time I was walking the trail and I was thinking on composing a love letter to Anna, explaining how I feel and how we're karmically connected. I was unsure if I was going to send the letter, and it was in that moment of thinking and composing the letter in my mind, that I saw the white bird from across a field. It was way far away. And it flew to me a great distance. It flew directly in front of me and banked off to the right behind some trees. I was mesmerized and saw it as a sign to send her the letter. I was so in the moment spellbound by the bird that I didn't take any pictures, and I wish I did, but it was still an incredible moment I won't forget.
On June 3rd 2023, I was in London, and I found this pond in Kensington Gardens. It struck me deeply and emotionally. It reminded me of my 2nd dream when I met my soul/higher-self, John. In that dream there was a circular pond and I couldn't help but think of it when I was there. On the way there, I ran into a hollowed out tree with carvings of wee little people and I had a reaction to it, I passed a park created in the style of Neverland from Peter Pan--Peter Pan has played a role in my spiritual awakening, something I can explain on another thread. Anyways, I was deeply moved and felt spiritually I was on the right path. So I took some photos.
I was so moved by Hyde Park and finding this pond that I wrote a poem about it. I believe I was John in my past life and it's my soul, nature, and higher self--The title of the poem references a chapter in the Bible that helped me understand the relationship between me, my soul, and my higher self.
John 7:29
Keep me in your sacred heart
Seek me in Hyde Park
At the edge of Neverland
The lemonade stand and the
empty tree filled with many wee goonies
Circular pond of swans, where
Albert's tower tip-tops
A blossom flowering
Love and peace
Harmonies, the wind and leaves
Days we seize to sing
Let it reign,
of you and me
This is the first time I saw the white bird. It was on April 27, 2023. That day I packed a backpack with a peanut butter sandwich and a book, Imagine by Yoko. The book is about Tittenhurst and the making of the album. I started my hike listening to Paul's album Red Rose Speedway and I concluded that it felt like a friend reaching out to a friend. I then sat at the bank of a creek and read out of the book. It tripped me out. My dream was to have a home in the country with a recording studio. I saw pictures that I had strong reactions to. I saw my handwriting. It was like deja vu, it felt familiar, it was me. Shaken and moved, I took a moment to reflect.
Afterwards, I went for a walk and spotted the bird for the first time.
At the end of the hike I found a dog tag. This is very important and it shook me. Dogs have been a big symbol of my spiritual awakening. It started in the autumn/winter of '22. I was waking up and I was going through strong reactions over Yoko. Seeing her art, reading her thoughts and poetry, it was turning me back on. I felt deep love. It freaked me out. I felt we were connected, like really connected in our minds. I'll write more about this later but at the time it was profound. And around that time I experienced a miracle. I was in bed and a Tibetan bell went off in my brain. It paralyzed me, this event would happen every now and then and I would fight it, but this time because of everything I was going through, I didn't fight it. So the bell noise grew louder and louder and it felt like every atom and molecule in my head was vibrating, the ringing moved from my head down my chest and to my toes--every part of me was vibrating--it was one of the most intense experiences of my life. Aftwards, the bell unrung and I could move again. And I look at my life as before and after the bell because afterwards, I felt intuition and connection, I was turned on. So around this time in 2022 I was waking up having experiences and feeling love for Yoko and on Twitter I posted an image of Snoopy in love:
I felt we were psychically connected, there's other moments and things that I felt and understood at the time as that. And so when I posted this image, with my mind I was telling her that I'm here and that I feel love. I know how that sounds but considering the miracle I experienced, the strong reactions and deep love I was feeling for her, and considering I believed I was John since I was a boy--I just knew posting this image after having these feelings was what I needed to do. So from this point on in my spiritual awakening, Snoopy became a symbol for my soul and dogs became an iconography of it all for me. So, back to April 27, 2023. I went on this spiritual hike, I read from Imagine realizing my past life, I saw a white bird, and then at the end of the hike I found this dog tag.
Ravi. When I was a boy. I would come home from school everyday and go straight to the piano and I would play and write songs. I did this everyday as a boy. I would turn on the tube tv in the corner of the room and I would play and casually watch tv and it was zen for me. One day, I saw Ravi Shankar on tv and George Harrison joined him. I was deeply moved by it. So much so that from that day on, I changed the way I played piano--I played piano with my eyes closed. When you play sitar, you sit and look forward, you do not look at your hands. It is a mind-muscle connection where the music really becomes a cerebral experience. And after experiencing seeing Ravi and George on TV I changed the way I played piano to be like Ravi. My closing my eyes to play and write, playing piano became meditation. I still do it today, and it's potent within my mind. Composing and playing with my eyes closed at the piano, I see colors, I see flashes of faces, tiny movies of electric colored silhouettes--I see all these things while playing. Seeing Ravi and George that day changed the way I played piano and made music into a spiritual meditation for me. So, on April 27, 2023, I went on a spiritual hike, read from the Imagine book realized my soul and past life, saw a white bird and the hike ended with me finding a dog tag which is a symbol of my awakening, with Ravi's name on it, Ravi the person from my past who seeing him changed me musically and spiritually. When I experience miracles, synchronicities, spiritual dreams, visions, deep feelings and karmic connection, and finding white feathers--this is me getting in tune with my higher self my soul my past as John.
One more thought. As I said, dogs have become a symbol of my soul and spiritual awakening for me. I was reading awhile ago about in my past life I gave Sean a dog for xmas and the dog ran away, and when I read that I realized the synchronicity of it with dogs being a symbol of my spiritual awakening, that I want to come back home, I wish to return--that's the way I feel about it and after everything spiritually I've experienced and considering my very nature it's a karmic and poetic way I look at it.
