Stones...

Life Stones. There are many... yet only one. They are simple and complex. Complete but infinite. They are the conscious omnipotence of life. The alpha and omega.

The Life Stones are the physical manifestation of the collective forces that coalesce to form the living spirit of all things throughout time and space.

Imagine

... to understand the Stones

... a saying that comes not from me but from the many Masters and Mystics of the time.

"Listen not with your head,.. for words can deceive... listen with your spirit... and you will believe."

Stones ... by michael steven peter

I love reading a good book. When I read, my mind travels to the story and I get lost in the tale. I guess something can be said about having a very active imagination.

A few years, ago, my life imploded which is neither here nor there, for we all have a journey to complete. But what I find so helpful, is my belief in the spirit of life. It's not religion for I am far from being a holy roller. It's about being a part of something beyond amazing... it's a feeling above all else, its unconditional love. Regardless of the situation or circumstance, we have love to guide our journey.

My personal hero is a carpenter and an extremely humble man. He said it best with a few words... God is LOVE. He also told the world about the very nature of life. He said we should love God with everything we have and love everyone else as we love ourselves. Talk about a whole lot of love there. But that truly is the answer. Love.

Imagine a world where the golden rule was the only law of the land. A world where mom's are the rulers. A world where everything is possible.  Such is the world I imagine, as I write...

Stones... The Mystical Age of Enlightenment

A Time of Stones

A long time ago, we were given... Stones.

They had ushered in the Fifth Age of Man albeit the Mystical Age of Enlightenment.

A millennium had passed since the loss of the fourth Age of Man. Humanity had been given yet another chance at life--had been given a gift through that which is the Stones. Equality--value--unity--they were no longer meaningless words to this Fifth Age of Man. The Stones changed everything. They gave mankind the ability to cherished life and embrace the spirit of the world. Nature had truly blossomed and was strengthened by the Spirit of the Stones. Humanity was no longer alone. The many life forms that had hidden from man had emerged onto the world. And the once believed lesser in life had secured their rightful place alongside mankind.

The society of man had evolved. Its claim of dominion over all life forms had been absolved and exchanged for one of harmony and inclusion. Love had triumphed and had become the norm. The world was one--such was the gift given through the Stones.

The Ages of Man

Society had embraced the Spirit--life’s truest gift from the Stones. But it hadn’t been an easy road. Man had ignored the many lessons he had experienced from the four prior Ages--wrestled with his own humanity throughout the four Ages of Tears. Yet history has naught a sense of irony, for a circle had been formed that brought man once again to an Age of Stones.

The first Age of Man was that of the Stone Age--a time more relevant to this Age. It was a time when we were nothing more than a chess piece on the gameboard of life, a pawn of nature--one of many life forms on the planet Earth--all equally challenged in a fight for existence. Survival was the driving force. As the Metal Age unfolded, man learned to use his surroundings to not only improve his life but impose his will upon all life--his need to survive had been replaced by his desire to dominate. It was then that the Dark Age of Man spread across the lands. Countries formed--wars thrived. Religions fractured and brought chaos to the world of man. Human will had found its home. It solidified, and claimed a deity had authorized man’s rule. But with so many Gods encased in multiple religions, unity had no place to grow. As the Fourth Age unraveled, hope had begun. Science had exploded. Art, music, and dance had cherry picked their professors who in turn fed the masses the many flavors of the Spirit. Love had developed its own language and for a time, it looked as though man would break through this Age of Reasoning and Information. But man was stubborn and held tight to its declaration to dominate and rule.

Looking back through these Ages, it is without a sense of bewilderment that humanity survived at all. For the first Age albeit the Stone Age, had been given the gift of the Stones--the knowledge of the stars laid at their feet. But because of their pride, humanity had forgotten its place and threw away the Stones. Without a Spirit to guide and love, the world was left in pain.  And this is why the Earth suffered through four Ages of Tears. And then came the Fifth Age of Man, the Age of Mystical Enlightenment--a rebirth of the Stone Age… The Mystical Age of Enlightenment… the Age of the Stones.

A plum

Sit. Relax. Close your eyes and be still. Take a deep breath. Listen to the air as it passes in and out of your lungs. Be calm. Feel your lungs as they expand and contract. In. Then out. In. Then out. Breathe deep and slowly. Feel your body absorb the air. Clear your mind. Imagine you’re sitting on the floor in the middle of a large white room. You open your eyes, and two feet in front of you is a piece of fruit. Your eyes tell you it’s a purple plum. Now pick it up. Your hand senses it’s firm and ripe. You lift it to your nose and it smells like a fragrant plum. Take a bite and your taste buds agree with your other senses. It is without a doubt, a plum. Now return the plum and close your eyes again. Take a deep breathe. Relax. Breathe nice and easy. Clear your mind. I want you to imagine sitting in the middle of the same white room. But this time, when you open your eyes, you see nothing. For the plum is now two feet behind you. Although you can’t see it, feel it, smell it or taste it, you still know its there. How do you know? Let me explain.

"Hi, I'm a plum."

Although you’re in the same room, the plum’s location makes your five traditional senses obsolete. Yes, even your hearing is impaired since plums don’t talk... well... not this one anyway. So all of your physical senses are rendered useless. However, you’re not completely “senseless” and neither is the plum. And to say its the sixth sense would be wrong, for that type of logic implies the use of your brain. This is different.

Three Life Stones

Many Stones were given to the Earth, but the strongest were gifted to man. Why mankind? Humanity had finally matured and with maturity came humility. This was the trait that deemed him worthy for bearing the greatest of the Stones. Yes... it was our humility that unlocked the answers to the mysteries of life. And rightly so, each answer was attached to a specific Stone.

The Stone of Souls proved that life was one spirit... omnipotent... conscious... and it resided within everything making us all a part of the one. The Earth Stone showed us that through the spirit, anything and everything was possible. And the Heart Stone gave us the reason for life... in its purest form, the reason for life was “to love and be loved.” Humanity was finally enlightened... this was the greatest gift provided by the Stones.

Sisters of the Stones

Nestled in the center of Stonesway are the dominant kingdoms of man. They are beacons of a matured humanity... stellar in spirit, knowledge, and love. Three queens, the Sisters of the Stones, rule these kingdoms. These Queens were given the Stone of Souls, the Earth Stone, and the Heart Stone to sanction their rule... three grand Stones for three high queens.
