A couple of days after I had gone to live at the ashram, one morning after disciplines, I was invited to a walk in the meadows by Master Uzúl, third generation temple priest. He was a short, wire-like man, old enough to stoop over slightly and very animated in his use of a walking stick; he would point with it, tap with it, poke with it, wave it in the air…he could twirl it like a baton, toss it up in the air, and catch it still twirling. I always wondered what nationality or race Master Uzúl might be, and I never found out. Of all the questions one might ask a master mystic or about a master mystic, this one seemed the least important. I was accustomed to taking brisk walks; but now, the old man had taken my arm, pretending to need my support, and thereby having me walk slowly. I knew he was pretending, because I had seen this same old man when he was in a hurry. As we walked, he spoke softly, casually sharing his thoughts; and he gestured and pointed sprightfully with his walking stick at the subjects of his conversation. "Let me see, today we are looking at the clouds and the trees…listening to the birds and insects and other things around us…smelling the flowers, the earth, water, and other things around us…feeling the dryness or the moisture in the air with our skin, with our face…and tasting the things that we might observe other creatures eating…with some exceptions of course." He glanced up at me over his sunglasses and grinned. I chuckled; I was aware that this was a leading conversation, which I had heard him use with groups of much younger initiates. There was something in Uzúl's manner, in his attitude, in his very presence alone, that endeared him to anyone who knew him. I had become aware, after a few short meetings with him, that he had been wanting to tell me something; he'd been waiting for the right time. We were walking along a footpath when we came upon a patch of pasqueflowers, and there the Master lingered, gazing lovingly upon the sight. "Does this place remind you of anything?" he asked. I looked at him curiously. "Yes, Master" I responded, "It reminds me of something that happened to me a long time ago, when I was back home, in Texas. It's been so long ago now, I hadn't thought about it for some time." "Really? Why don't you tell me about it" he said, as he dusted off a boulder and sat. "Well, as I said, it was in Texas; I was out walking, much as we are now. And I came upon a place very much like this, except it was imbued with bluebonnets." The memory came flooding back to me now. "I was very moved by the sheer presence of color and the way it moved in the wind, like waves on a lake; there were so many flowers…a whole field of them. And when I lowered my head and held it just right, my entire field of vision was filled with that color…alive in the light! It was just so intense and beautiful." He remained silent, gazing upon the delicate beauty before us now. When he looked up at me, I continued, "I thought I heard something among them. But I saw nothing. The sound continued. It was very high-pitched, almost inaudible, and it had a metallic or glass-like quality about it…a faint playful tinkling. I focused my hearing on it, trying to see where it was coming from. "I was imagining a little creature of some sort, someone's little hamster or kitten, wearing a little bell…but then, it sounded like many little tiny bells down there among the flowers…and then it started sounding like voices." I paused and chuckled, "As you well know, Master, I was using drugs back then. I was high on LSD at the time." He looked at me, into my eyes, deeply and lovingly. "And are you high on drugs now?" he asked. "No, of course not." "And do you hear the voices now?" I looked back into his eyes; for a brief moment, I saw a reflection of myself in their luster. And then I found a glint of white light in his pupils. It was like a tiny flake of something aloft in a little chamber of darkness; and as it moved forward, it began to look more like a scarf floating, unfurling . . . dancing . . . "Yes, Master. They are chanting." "Aah. In English?" I listened. "I can't tell. It is so very faint . . . wait." I drew back in disbelief. What I thought had been the sound in the flowers getting louder was actually Master Uzúl softly humming along. He opened his eyes and smiled at me, a smile so open and real, it seemed to reach out visually in a stream of warm golden light. "What a wonderful gift!" he exclaimed, his eyes wide. And then, he asked me to sit and listen to the flowers while he 'rambled on'. "The empath is one who feels what others feel, be it physical or emotional, be it pleasurable or painful, be it human, animal, or plant. One is born an empath, but may not realize it for a very long time… perhaps never in one's life, unless one is told. "Most living things, other than man, are empathic; and there are many creatures who share symbio-empathic relationships with the plants they depend upon. "The empathic ambiance among the pack animals is to feel what the others feel. If one is injured, all the others sense it; some will inspect the wound more closely, and others still will attempt to treat it. The feelings in one radiate outward, and those on the perimeter sense the mood of those in the inner circles. "When there is a joyous occasion, like the birth of babies or a fresh supply of food, the emotional stream can become so compelling so as to cause some creatures to howl and dance…and different creatures howl and dance in different ways. "A pack of wolves up the mountain can howl and dance up a celebration into the night. A lone coyote twenty miles away will hear the howling and sense the merriment in the ether; even though he and the wolves are enemies, he will share in the howling, sensing only a wave of happiness among his own kind. "When animals appear to sense the approach of a storm or some other environmental change, there is empathic communication occurring between the different spirits of the natural world. Humans are not necessarily excluded from these discourses; most humans just choose to remain ignorant about them. "The unaware human empath feels and senses all the random emotions, moods, and attitudes that radiate from all directions at any given time - fatigue and discontentment, joy and invigoration, panic, fear, jubilation; an empath senses the terror of animals in a forest fire miles away and can be overwhelmed by the horror and despair felt by the masses during global catastrophes. "The unaware human empath will often suffer the pains of others without understanding what is going on. There are many, many people who are diagnosed with depression, because they carry the sadness of others without knowing. One simply assumes that one is ill, because one suffers unexplainable pain or grief. "The empathic waves of a tree are low-toned, like the sounds of an elephant, which we cannot hear. Smaller plants have higher pitched empathic vibrations, like dog whistles, which we cannot hear. There was a time when plants existed more in harmony with humans. "Plants know their place. The spirit of the flora is one. We identify and label them in the millions; but all the plants of the world are connected, and they share one consciousness. The mother spirit of the planet knows the one spirit of the flora - the ultimate model of humility and sacrifice, perpetually displaying and offering its best, with grace and beauty, besides. The spirit of the flora gladdens our senses with visual pleasance, with delicate smells, delightful tastes…and the green spirit does not die; it just continues to shed of itself for the sake of the mother. "A dog can sense the emotions or attitudes in people, and it is not unusual for people to sense feelings in their pets. But it is very, very unusual for the spirit of the flora to seek communion with humans. It knows the qualities in humans, like greed and possessiveness, like cruelty and apathy; and it can sense perversion, and gluttony, wastefulness, and ignorance as it relates to nature. "These are qualities that are not detected in animals, and they are qualities that bring fear to the plants. In the world of plants, the worst things that can be are waste and undue destruction. It is not a matter of right-and-wrong or transgression of some sort; it is a matter of what is taken from the plants. For plants, any plants, to reveal their consciousness to a human suggests that the person is gifted with their trust." Master Uzúl slid off the boulder and motioned for me to remain; he stood there for a moment, staring down at the ground, lost in thought. And he turned to me saying, "You were born empathic; knowing this now, you will seek to understand things from your troubled past. It is your gift, and it is your curse; and knowing this now, you will learn to recognize it and realize it as another aspect of your self." "Yes, Master." "I'm not done!" He turned away, to look over the flowers again; and I smiled to myself. "You thought we brought you here to learn from us; so did we. But we did not realize that there was more…more than an empath… "You have seen Mescalito?" He wasn't looking at me, but I nodded. "And you found him to be friendly?" I nodded again. He turned back to me, with a smile on his face. "Mescalito is an aspect of the spirit of the flora, rather mischievous but very beautiful." I had to ask, "You have seen Mescalito, Master?" "Of course! And I didn't have to eat any cactus, either. Anyway, the spirit of the flora appears to have found favor in you; it seeks communion with you. You've come here to learn from them." And he swept his hand, so as to indicate the flowers; then, he pointed to a large tree directly across the flower patch, perhaps fifty yards away. "I recommend that you spend some time with that old fellow over there; it's been there a long, long time. You will have to find a way over there that does not involve disturbing the flowers." I looked across the meadow and glanced from side to side, and suddenly, I was seeing it in a very different way. On the left, the flowers appeared to reach into a thicket of brambles, and they grew up against and into the fissures of some rocks that stretched 40 to 50 feet upwards. On the right, there were no brambles, but the flowers touched up against more large rocks. I could see that I would have to do some difficult rock climbing; in both cases, it looked like the climb would lead away from the target on the other side. I took in a deep breath, smiled to myself again, and nodded, "Yes, Master." "You already know that spiritual entities come in their own time and can manifest themselves in many ways. The spirit of the flora has found trust in you; now, you will seek to find that same trust in the spirit of the flora. You must recognize and realize this trust, because an important truth will be revealed to you; and you may not like what you will learn. "Tomorrow, you will begin to learn to transcend." And he swept his hand over the flowers again. "For now, you will remain here and listen to the flowers; you should appreciate that little song they are chanting…they are chanting it just for you." He had a glint in his eyes, and he let out a little chuckle, as he turned and walked away. "Thank you, Master." It was less than a minute, his voice sounded about 30 yards away, projected and irritated, "You there! You little varmint! You need to stay out of the garden! We have plans to relocate you! Come back here, you furry little…" I did not look to see what had gotten Master Uzúl so excited; it was not uncommon. I allowed myself a smile, but I was listening to the chant, trying to remember it, to learn it…I would come to know in time that it was the chant for Ganesha during Chaturthi. And I came to learn a new way to meditate, in the company of an old oak tree, sometimes in its shade and sometimes in its branches; I shared with it what it takes for a human to be still, and it shared with me what it takes for a tree to acquire tolerance, and forgiveness, and patience. |
