Writing

Write what you know most about is what writing teachers in college will tell you (especially in creative writing classes). The reason for this is obvious because people will tend to see through what you are writing and be disappointed sometimes if you write about what you really don't know much about.

However, when you write it depends upon WHO you are writing for and why you are writing.

If you are writing for yourself mostly obviously you are eompletely free to write any way you want to. 

When I first started writing about Arcane in 1980 it was something like this:



Original arcane story 1980 Mt. Shasta White House

I am standing on the banks of a river gazing at an Orange sky and two  suns vaguely showing above the horizon.(added 2013)(The two suns appear to be along a plane of the horizon. Arcane wasn't sure he wasn't seeing a mirror image at first even though they both were colored slightly differently. So, he realized there were two actual suns moving differently than each other to some degree. As the day went on one seemed to move upward  There are two bluish colored moons in the sky. I have feeling of being trapped, -- or having been cast out. I am arcane, the priest warrior of the planet new Deva. I have been captured in a time traveling battle and cast into a dimension and time with no visible means of return to my own time and planet. I must get back to my lady ah ray in --. I must find a way to save her life. I'm searching for some point some power to help me. I'm searching the whole planet with my mystical eye. My priestly powers must be prepared so that I can send my body or at least my consciousness back to Isfahel to accomplish the necessary task -- to get back to a ray in. I must fulfill the vision of the Oracle of my planet New Deva.

There are sometimes opportunities when I can travel through time unaided. I need the special intersections of time and space. It is very difficult to find these places and to be there at the right time without an electronic sensor and there is almost no likelihood that there is even one sensor or scanner on this planet.

 

I am listening to the howling of what were once called Wolves but now there is no one still in a human body to call them that anymore here on this planet. I can feel their primitive powerful feelings. I am attracted to such wildness. At first I long to howl with them to release the pain of my torture. But quickly I think of my bride to be Ah Ray In. My resolve and tears firm in my eyes. The wolf creatures call to me with their minds telepathically "Give up. There is no hope for you. You will make a nice supper for us." 

"Forget YOU!", I say with my mind. They let out howls of pain from my controlled mind burst. It will not harm them. They will only be confused for a few minutes. It will give me the moments I need to save myself. I wish them no permanent harm if I can survive and live. And I run to the first Power Point that I can find. With the contact of the first Power Point on the high plateau I interface with the power of the planet there and soon I am floating above the ground just as I was trained to as a boy. Miles pass, and I am free from the wolves for the moment at least.



I have finally found in my desperation a strong enough Power point to enter into the entire grid system of the planet, the orange star in the two moons and all the Power point's that can help save what is left of arcane. I reach out and touch the outer aura of the planet with my soul. I sense the force fields that had been placed on this planet by an ancient civilization. I also sense of force fields that are put here to prevent my escape back my own planet and dimension. I summon the old ones of this planet and they tell me of all the wondrous qualities and ways of being of this planetary dimension. They tell me of civilization's past and of the city of the spheres.

The old ones of the planet no longer have physical bodies and can't be seen by beings not trained in the priestly sciences. But luckily my training included communication with angels and guardians.As children we were tested for intuitive gifts. Since I tested off the charts I was recognized as a world saver. I was trained from age 6 to help all beings and to protect my planet from external or internal harm.

By projecting my consciousness into the earth I find sphere nodules.They are various sizes but the ones that draw me most are 8 to 15 feet in diameter. I sense wisdom there that might help my planet survive. Inside one of these nodules I will find the answer I seek. Of this I am certain. As I reach further with my spirit I connect with the remaining old ones of this planet. I'm in luck they are good. The ones that remain and live on throughout time and space will guide me and help me.They have prayed long and powerfully for someone like me to come to earth. I call out the name of Eridian. I have a natural affinity with him. At my call he comes and tells me of the thought picture to hold in my mind as a key to bring a green sphere which will transport me to where I need to be. I am becoming a part of this planet. It is the price that I must willingly pay to save ah ray in. The planet is becoming like a friend or a stepparent to be loved, cherished, learned from and blessed by my ideas and cultural traditions even as I am changed by the planets love and wisdom for me. I have been adopted as a priest instrument of earth. As the sphere green comes I feel it's power and its majesty. It envelops me and as I stand and then sit cross legged in the posture of Earth yogis I am transported to the sphere city in a style that I could very easily become accustomed to. From the vantage point of the sphere I can see what the sphere city was on land and under the land. It was a truly beautiful and magnificent work of functional art that the Present spirit beings lived in when they still had physical bodies.

Soon we moved under the ground to where the city now physically abandoned was once inhabited. There is no entrance. We simply moved through rock somehow. The sphere I travel in has the capacity to move through solid objects with no damage resulting to me or to the sphere. As the cavern of spheres becomes visible the many interlocking crystalline spheres fill my being with the majesty and power of the beings that once lived here in human bodies. Many thousands of years before the inhabitants of this planetary dimension had turned into light " pure energy soul forms" as a result of millions of years of evolution. As I disembark from the green sphere nodule.I thank it as it is sentient and hasn't had a physical rider for thousands of years.

Basically I wrote this and didn't really change it at all from 1980 until at the very least 1987 when I took my first college creative writing class at a community college. And even then I changed it very little until I decided to publish this at my very first website at Geocities which eventually Yahoo bought so now dragonofcompassion.com is a paid for website that I have kept since around 2007 the same year that I got this free website that you are seeing this on at blogspot or blogger.com.

The point is I never planned to share this with the world and this didn't really change until I believed I was going to die of a heart virus for 9 months from fall of 1998 to may of 1999. So, while I was at Stanford Hospital waiting for an angiogram and electrical heart stimulation from the foremost cardiologist in that field that I know of I promised God that if I survived all this somehow that I would get a blogging website and write of my amazing experiences with God in gratitude for him letting me live. This is now about 23 years ago. And my various blogs have gone through various evolutions. For example, this blog has gotten as many as 100,000 visits a month especially in around 2017 around there. At this point it has become a discipline for me somewhat like jogging to keep my mind active by blogging about the news or my travels or thinks I think are interesting to write about. But, actually it all began as a gratitude to God because I didn't die at age 50 from a heart virus and as a thank you to God for not letting me die when I had a wife and 2 1/2 year old daughter and a 10 year old daughter and a 20 something son that I wanted to stay alive for. At the time I refused to die because I wouldn't leave my 2 1/2 year old especially without a father. So, I just refused to die and stayed alive through really difficult experiences during that time. Also, in order to not die I was forced by my health to retire at 50. Luckily, this was possible to do at the time by some miracle.

I had prayed since around 1980 for what Tibetan Buddhists call: "The Leisure to Practice" which really just means "The time to pray for all life in the universe". How God gave me this I didn't really expect but it did happen in 1998 when my health forced me to retire. Many people could not have survived this but my nature is to naturally pray for people all the time anyway. So, this worked for me. My mother's mother prayed for me, my mother prayed for me and my father prayed for me. So, it's only natural that I pray for my family and friends too.

By God's Grace
