13/7/1430 6th Solar Hour-14/7/1430 4th Lunar Hour Mount St. Helens Vision Quest (July 6th, 2009 12:26 till right before July 7th started)
The feeling was that there was something to be learned from the actions of this Fire Being, but we had to move on, so the lights came on. We went on for a few and stopped to identify with the minerals with an ad-lib in the dark. I was unsure exactly how this went but I probably had our feet as burnished brass, head as lapis lazuli, crown as multicolored diamonds, the floor as crystal, the chest as gold, the heart as rose quartz, the belly as aquamarine, the back as granite, the haunch as silver, the legs as dolomite, arms of onyx, the bones as coral, a tail bone of serpentine, and a few others. Now I could have said buns of steal instead of silver, but that the humor involved likely would have messed enough of us up. A silver moon seemed of a deeper symbology anyways.
One further the next stop was that of the plants. Nearer to the feature of the cave called meatball, we stopped and turned out the lights for another ad-lib. This time the identification was with 12 plants and parts and it went something like the following: "You crowned me with laurels and skirted me with lilies. From my chest, grew forth roses and myrtle was upon my back. I've been drawn with peaches and honey dew's gleam. Pomegranates, they filled my dreams. In my right hand I held onions and garlic. In my left were the olives. I walked upon firwood needles as amber rained down. Thou toppest me with lotus above my crown. In the day or the night, it is right and my sacred plant rite."
The descent into the cave finally reached an end. Mike crawled to the final accessible spot alittle ways further, but `Abdallah and I abstained. The cave had narrowed and we sat in the cleft. Far was I from both cold and bereft. I sat on the sandy, ashy ground. `Abdallah got out his Cherokee Flute. Mike drummed on something. I shut my eyes as the flute music came forth from the flute. I waited to say the lines of the animal ad-lib at starting or finishing places of a breath cycle. Like the other ad-libs, I can't be sure exactly how it went, but the point was to identify with that which is without and within. I stuck to the positive meanings to associate with the animal listed, except the raccoon. Towards Makkah, I placed a chimp or ape. Away I placed raccoons. In the Northwest was swine, in the Northeast was rabbits, in the Southeast was wild cats, and in the Southwest was horses, zebras, and pack animals, according to the Celtic symbolism. According to Native American symbolism deer, elk, and moose were placed in the North; wild dogs in the South; birds in the East; and bears in the West. Lions were the animal of the South, as lambs and goats were the animals of the East; in the West were the aquatics; and in the North were the burrowing animals of the snow, all according to a sort of Middle Eastern symbology. I placed that which crawled on its belly and the insects below and the microscopic life above. Mike liked this and the prophet ad-lib the best of the rituals of the trip.
Slowly up we went viewing all the complexities of the colors and shapes in this generally grayish cave. I had picked the same spot as the "Opening the Eyes" prayer for the ad-lib of the prophets. I again sat in the same spot as with the vision of the Light Being upon the special surface. That surface has an opaque Fire Being green crisscross pattern with Fire Being Purple in between in diamond shapes. I was north most on this eastern side of the cave, `Abdallah was in the middle, and Mike was upon the southern seat of this natural bench of the East. The 5/6/1426 meditation was TMAAeT NB MN AAe TMAAeT BAAeA or The great truth, All Great, forming, The Creator, The Fashioner, upon the Authority, and the great mystery of Souls. The book I saw in that vision and the meditation that attracted it, made this a very appropriate place to meditate on the roles of prophets. This also was with flute music, but the tapping or drumming was heard less. Slowly and spaced out came words about Adam, Noah, Abraham, Zarthost, Siddhartha Guatama, Jesus, Muhammad, and perhaps others that I neglect to recall. I finished with Muhammad leaving an intact light in the dark and how we are to take on the role word. Sometime after 8 P.M. P.S.T., we continued up and onwards past the stairs dividing the lower 1200 meters from the upper section.
Past the metal stair case and on into the 88 foot wide area called "The Big Room," we went. At the northern end of this area was the first large rock pile. They call the twenty-seven of these boulder piles in Ape Cave, "Breakdown." In the northeastern part of the northern cave, there are two white spots above eachother where the cave ceiling drops in height suddenly. Before where I sat to the south was a peculiar white spot in a spot similar as the two aforementioned spots, also dozens of feet away. Myself, Mike, and `Abdallah sat on boulders away from the main pile of boulders. In approximately an equilateral triangle at about 8:46, the lights were out and it was time to start the final extra ritual of the day.
This time I opened with the first Soowrah of Al Qooraan (Al FatiHah), I continued with the abbreviated letter (MooqaTTa`aat) verses (Aayaat) in order. The translation was said for the ten verses that continued past the MooqaTTa`aat. I laid out 2.1, 3.1, 7.1, 10.1, 11.1, 12.1, 13.1, 14.1, 15.1, 19.1, 20.1, 26.1, 27.1, 28.1, 29.1, 30.1, 31.1, 32.1, 36.1, 38.1, 40.1, 41.1, 42.1 & 2, 43.1, 44.1, 45.1, 46.1, 50.1, and 68.1 in a geometrical format. First we started visualizing the sphere with the front sixth and rear sixth. Those verses were 2.1 and 3.1. After twelve other verses; the sphere was continued with 29.1 and the right sixth, 30.1 and the left sixth, 31.1 and the top six, and 32.1 with the bottom sixth of the sphere that extends as far out as one can put it. Second, we started visualizing the edges of the corners of the cube around us. This cube was in the center of the sphere. The rear right corner's edge was 7.1. After six verses we had the front left's corner's edge and 19.1 and the rear left edge and 20.1. Seven verses were in-between and the final edge was placed in the front right with 36.1. Third, we started on the eleven spheres of the self. With 10.1 we surrounded the head. 11.1 encircled the right shoulder and 12.1, the left. 13.1 was a sphere around the right elbow and 14.1 encompassed the left elbow. 15.1 radiated from the pelvis. After three more verses I put a sphere around the right hand with 27.1. Six were sung before we encircled the left hand with 38.1. Singing another six gave the occasion of appearance of the sphere shinning forth from the center of the chest with 46.1. Then the knees were encased with 50.1 and so were feet with 69.1 The fourth step was placement of a bright and a dark pillar, evenly to the right and left. These were extended almost twice as tall as the cube around the self. The first was with 26.1 and two verses later with 28.1. Fifth was the forming of the sides of the cube. In order we had right and 40.1, front and 41.1, ceiling with 42.1 and 2, the floor with 43.1, the right side with 44.1, and the rear with 45.1. The sixth step was to hold the meditation and let it open as much as we could as the visualization dropped off. And open it did, but before it did, I felt like I felt as if the Princess of Cups wanted to talk to me that very moment. I found out was very probable, twenty-three or so hours later.
I saw my aura in the dark, multicoloured. I then saw `Abdallah' and Mike's auras. Each of ours was different from before, more varied in colour. The floor was covered with a smooth and level sky blue, just under my feet. A unified presence like unto that of millions of people watching me, built up in the room. A many coloured Light Being or Light Beings covered the inside of the Big Room in a dome with the bottom edges upon the sky blue floor. I could not distinguish whether there were one or many of these Unfallen Angels forming the dome textured like bubble wrap. The dome was not static, but moved. Not like a lung, nor like breathing, but there was some order to its contraction and expansion. Inside the approximately seventy-two feet diameter of this being appeared another, with the feeling of atleast 2 million. It was in the position where the visualization of the front left corner of the cube with Al Qooraan 19.1. It was a Light Being Yellow with two wings of that realm, if one can call them wings. Energy fields is just as likely a term for this holy creature, but neither seems to adequately describe it. It's "wing span" was several feet wide, four or so feet thick, and taller than I, but it felt bigger. I also felt the presence of a number of Fire Beings or Fallen Angels there, but I couldn't see or hear anything of them. I began to talk of what I was seeing and experiencing until it faded into an intense state of emotion that lasted until 5:15 A.M of the next day.
The sun had set, so `Abdallah called the ADhan (Something heard/The prayer call). I broke fast with a container of Yellow Gon Root Tea. I handed one to Mike and one to `Abdallah, who hadn't fasted. Waiting for then to finish, I put up the water bottles and turned to the spot where the Light Being of the spot of the edge had appeared. Mike mentioned some thoughts he had and `Abdallah commented on his experiences, unusual lights and the like. He asked and commented much. Mike hung back and looked around within the Big Room and ear's shot. `Abdallah made similar comments as earlier about how "they find this cave special, particularly the ceiling." On the way out he related how he had previously seen himself descending a metal staircase into a cave. I will relate a few things that I probably said nothing of at the time. Now what can be elaborated upon and symbologized with the Hollis is their words, symbols they used, their actions, and the associative thoughts & feelings that occurred at the time. The "Yellow" Light Being felt bigger then the space it encompassed. We may link this to the Soowrah (Chapter/Rank) of Al Qooraan from the Meditation, number 19. Using the literary device of ellipsis and other devices, we may expound our knowledge and wisdom of this 98 Aayaat (Verse/Sign) section of the sixteenth Jooz` (one-thirtieth part of Al Qooraan). There is also the connection of this to the emotional connection to she not present. Perhaps there is a lesson in Soowrah Maryam (Al Qooraan 19.1-98) that I should share or discuss in a different way with the Princess of Cups.
At about 9:36P, all three of us left the cave. By ten minutes later me and `Abdallah had washed up and turned to our MaGrib Salat (Sunset Contact Prayer [with 3 bows). We went to the car where I drank a jug of V8 and started upon the box of granola and Soy-Nog, I brought to eat that night. In Islam, one doesn't fast out of self-mortification, and therefor eating enough to make up for storage loss during the fast and to prepare to fast again is the common place. I doubted that this would be accomplished, if I waited till I arrived home. Upon returning home, I finished what was left and drank a couple quarts of juice with yeast.
10:15P came around and it was time to leave, so we were off. The next hour was full of me eating and further conversation on sacred places, sacred journeys, symbolism, and mystical experiences. I even had time to break for the Soonatoo Magrib Salat (Traditional [2 bows in a set after the obligatory] Sunset Ritual Prayer). By 11:30P, we dropped `Abdullah at his home. Twenty minutes later me and Mike unloaded our stuff from his vehicle and parted in peace. Normally one would have slept, but the way I felt, there was neither need, nor ability to. Sleep came upon me around 5:15 A.M. of Tuesday, clear into the first of three additional days of fasting for me.
