Smile please......... :))


            And then we started to walk. I saw that the scenery was rather like a Noddy landscape, as for children. He said we would not exert ourselves but would enjoy what he called the 'geniality' and 'innocence'. After moving along horizontally, during which we at first walked and then skimmed, we started to go upwards.
            We entered the round light of the sun, and he said it was the soul of the sun like I had seen the soul of the earth. From there we could look down on the toyland scenery through the pale golden haze emitted by the sun. He said earth needs to regain its’ innocence. He said human beings must now relearn their ability to contemplate the world, and try to make sense of it, and then learn how to communicate with it again as people used to in myth and legend and symbol.
            Another word to relearn the meaning of was 'truth'. We used to see our world with the eye of truth. The ability to see things and then communicate them in myth he attributed to the quality of innocence. The early North and South American peoples could contemplate their world and discover its’ meaning. Their stories were passed down meticulously from generation to generation. This is the eye we have to regain.
             He mentioned a couple of other attributes. I think one was righteousness (maybe – I’ve forgotten). The other important one was “geniality”. He said earth has had enough recently of 'masculinity' (meaning the use of force, domination or assertion, by either men or women – this was not a feminist remark) and now needs the embracing quality of geniality.
