The Traveller
By Paul McCann
He was always a loner and people who knew him would say , he’s alone more times than anyone ever should be but in saying that , they could see he was happy enough with his life .
He liked to be in his own company and that’s why he decided to live alone on top of a mountain growing herbs and making organic medicines from his herbs , No one had ever told him how to do that but somehow, he just knew what to do . It was like he saw the process in his mind and just followed the instructions . Once a month a helicopter came and collected his medicines that were being used to cure people from terminal diseases . He was unaware how many people he was helping and nobody told him anything about what was going on so day by day he just continued to make medicines for people who needed them .
Sometimes in his isolation he felt that he wasn’t alone and then one night , he woke up from his sleep and saw a woman there standing in the corner of the room .
She never spoke , she just stood there watching him .
After that night he started to feel different about things . There was a presence of someone always there , unseen but present . Now and then he would hear and see things he couldn’t explain, like the knock on the door but there was no one there , or the straw broom that would fall to the ground by itself . Other times house hold items would fall to the ground by themselves or the water tap would suddenly turn on almost like an invisible friend was trying to get in touch . He had no fear whenever any of these events would happen as he realized his invisible friend meant him no harm .
“There is an aspect of love and caring I feel with my invisible friend .Then one night he woke up and went downstairs to make a cup of tea and a voice said ,
“Don’t be afraid , be aware because its time for you to see what I can do. “
The voice was gentle but powerful in its expression .
He finished his tea and went back to bed when suddenly he began to float around the room , The voice spoke to him ,
“ Learn to control your flight . Think where you want to go and you will be taken to that place , there is nothing to fear but fear itself ”
He remembered as a boy his parents would take him on summer holidays to a guesthouse near the sea , so he though of that and immediately he was lifted above and instantly transported there . The voice spoke to him again .
“You are never alone . I am with you where ever you go . Fear not :”
He walked along the seashore remembering the place he went as a child and then he thought . This communication is all going one way and he decided to ask a question “
“Who are you and what’s happening ?”
The voice answered ,
“ I know this must be hard for you to understand but you have some friends on the other side as well as a guardian angel who is always with you . There is no reason why this had happened because it is meant to be . You always might have thought that you were alone but you were never alone. “
He felt a kind of relief at the things that were said and asked ,
“So are you the reason why I have been seeing and hearing things all the time ?”
The answer came back,
“It was my way of introducing who I am , but there is much more going to happen to assure you of who you are and the protection that you will always have around you”
‘ In the past I have sometimes felt someone holding my hand or touching my shoulder “
At that moment he felt someone squeeze his hand and the voice said ,
“Yes you are never alone . There is a lot to be said about what is unseen”
He thought , it seems I can go back to places in my past so again he closed his eyes and thought about his first day at school and in an instant he was transported there to that classroom .
The voice said ,
“You have a rare gift of intellectual mental transportation . No human had ever been given this gift before “
Now everything started to open up in his mind like a eureka experience that lasted less than a minute but all of his questions were answered .
Then he closed his eyes and thought about another special place in time that he had always known about , when Jesus was born in Bethlehem and suddenly in that moment , he was taken to Bethlehem where he stood there beside the child who lay there in a crib ,
Smiling at him the child took the appearance of a young man and said ,
”Well hello there , don’t be afraid . No one else can see you and what is happening I’m so happy that you have brought you gift here . What a wonderful world you are going to see and what changes you are going to be going through. Make the world a better place . “
Suddenly all around the manger , voices of angels began to sing as a bright light shone down all around that place . Above in the sky the darkness of night was shattered by bright star that hovered above and then began to move around the sky
At that moment two unseen fingers closed his eyes and he was transported back to his room where he went fast asleep .
In the morning as he woke he thought it had all been a dream and carried on about his day working on the mountain top in his herb garden . As he worked there alone he felt a presence . In that moment a figure of a man dressed in white walked towards him and said ,
“You are now one of us , a traveller . We are all able to go between places , past and present . Your life will change as from now and we will be there with you in your travels whatever you do and where ever you go , fear not “
The End
