What is?

The Story of the Purple Dragon

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But what is space? It’s supposed to be this infinite blackness of nothing, filled with galaxies, stars, planets, debris. Is that really what it is, or is it something incomprehensible to us? I think it may be more.

Maybe those who exist at higher vibrations and frequencies than humans can hear the screams in the vacuum. That would, after all, be their world. I wonder what it would be like, living in a vacuous environment. What if that vastness is actually just filled with energy and colors? What could that possibly be like?

“Hey, Marv. I just passed the red wavelength. I’ll be there in a few light years!”

But then there’s the real possibility of telepathy. And then we have to account for teleportation, as well, because in the infinite universe, there are no limitations. It’s just here on Earth where there’s a constant struggle to do anything.

They say that Earth is school. If you really think about it, it makes a lot of sense. We’re here to plod along through life, working for the weekend until retirement age, when we can’t enjoy anything, right? But that doesn’t seem to be aligning with anyone lately. Earth School needs to be revamped.

Let’s talk about a girl named Genny. Genny sees this system that she’s supposed to submit to simply because that’s how so many others before her have done it. But she does not go for it. She listens to her soul, and figures out how to live her life unrestrained. She lives authentically. She works as she travels, and sees more, and experiences more of the world than anyone she knows. She creates abundance simply by going with the flow of her life. It’s a state of being that seems unattainable to most humans.

But that state of being is how those in the higher realms, different galaxies, star systems and parallel universes actually live every day. And Genny soon realizes that she is not Earthbound. She’s not from here. She decided to come here to learn, and evolve, and help others do the same. To help people come from love for the everyday, she inspires just by being.

In her travels, Genny ends up in New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment. In one day, she sees the dry, red desert, the lush evergreen forest, life-giving waters of the Rio Grande, and spiritually pleasing sacred sites like Chimayo, and Ojo Caliente.

In these places, she can feel her soul tugging at her, yearning for her to stop doing, and just be. “Genny, please stop working.” “Genny, please look at these petroglyphs. You know what they mean.” “Genny, please look up Chaco Canyon. I want to take you there.”

She finally listens.

She sees an ancient drawing of a spiral on the side of a cliff. It seems oddly familiar, and then she sees a drawing of what looks like an alien next to it. And maybe a spacecraft? But still, she gets the immense feeling of deja vu. And she can’t for the life of her figure out why. Genny continues her hike through the Peteoglyph National Monument in Albuquerque. It’s an easy one, one that doesn’t even require boots. On her way back to her car, she can’t shake the feeling that she’s been here before. She’s got this voice in her head begging her to look up Chaco Canyon, and she has no idea why. She’s never even heard of Chaco…

On the way back to her cute little casita rental, she pauses for nourishment. A sopapilla, and some posolé do the trick — a classic combination of light, airy fried dough dipped in honey, with a fabulous stew of green Chile, onion, beans, and ground meat. As she’s relaxing into her satisfied appetite, she looks up Chaco Canyon, an ancient civilization inhabited by the ancient puebloans, as far back as 1250 A.D. Shes fascinated. The whole place was built surrounding the solar and lunar cycles. There are stories of ceremonies, and healing, and all kinds of life. But all kinds of despair, and the inevitable crumbling after too many lost their humble roots, and started to control the weather for their own greater good, at the expense of everyone else. Genny decides that this not only intrigues her, but she feels like she was a part of it. She must go.

At first light, Genny starts making her way to the ancestral site that she already feels so connected to. She arrives just in time to see the sun perfectly framed within a window of the main building. Her feet have never felt more connected to the Earth, but at the same time, she feels like her body is being ripped in two. The sun is blindingly bright in New Mexico, and the sky is just so clear that one cannot escape the rays. As she tries to make sense of it, she starts to drift in and out of consciousness. And in the waves she sees the people — her people — building this space and living in it, and creating kiva fires, and magic, and helping the land grow to nourish them, and helping the rains come to nourish the land, and living in harmony with each other and nature, manifesting their desires into being. And then she’s suddenly transported elsewhere. Her body stays behind, while her own consciousness travels into the far reaches of infinite color and energy, the vacuum that everyone talks about, where no one can here you scream. But someone does. Someone hears her screams of joy and excitement. This isn’t new for her, just for this body, this lifetime. She flies and glides through colors unimaginable to humans, and realizes all that she’s been missing on Earth. She sees her old, old friends from different lives and planes, and enters into a familiar place filled with tablets and beings from all realms and wavelengths. Standing before her is an energy that materializes into something that her currently human soul can recognize — a dragon-esque being of light and protection. Purple, iridescent, shimmering, with a kind face; purely here to help. Rodney.

“Rodney!” Genny exclaims. “I’ve missed you, friend! What am I doing here?”

“Genny, you know we’re always connected. It’s just that the human mind is so linear…I’ve brought you here to give you a very important message. You decided to go to Earth to help bring a new way of life to those people. Getting you to Chaco Canyon was necessary because it’s a portal to the other planes of existence. In this place, you will be able to spread your soul knowledge to a great amount of people. Stay there as long as you can. Connect with those roots, and remember what you once did there. Watch during the full moon. You’ll know what you have to do.”

Rodney’s essence starts to dissipate. Genny asks, “Wait! Rodney! When will I see you again?”

“On the first full moon of your 40th year. Come back to the portal. You’ll know what to do.”

With that, he was gone, and she was flung back through time and space (if that’s what that is), and crashes back into her body right where she left it. Her eyes shimmer purple, and she begins to remember.
