Ryan and I were able to meet a really interesting fellow at Mu. His name was Steve. A very well -tanned man, surfer fit, and probably in his 40’s. At the dinner table he began to share on his secrets of life and living or rather, not living without what is known as “essential oils.” The first description of it was intriguing, especially to me, I’m all about organic eating and picking “fresh” produce from the garden because it has the “most nutrients when first harvested.” He saw the spark in my eye and his energy then began to radiate, “I could talk about this forever so don’t mind me, but these essential oils from basil, mint, orange, thyme, frankincense…are…you won’t believe me…but they do work…they do…they’re harvested at the most nutrient rich moment of their lives and the oils extracted from them…you and Ryan are free to come to my room to see all the oils.” Interested, the next day we did.
Steve had an entire loft to himself that he had shared with his three kids who had flown home prior to us meeting Steve. Steve was also a recovering drug addict and found this I guess “new high,” on these oils. Each time he would place a dab of an essential oil on our hands to let us taste it he would exclaim, “Do you feel it, do you? Like a high right, like a real high…wait…let me do it too, I need to catch up to you guys…[lick oil]…ooo, see, right, right, don’t you feel it? It’s like a high.” Ryan and I looked at Steve, eye-browsed raised…kind of a strange guy, but hey, he believed in the oils. The oils come from a company called Doterra. I began to read the magazine and book of all the remedies that the oils could cure for different ailments. Seemed much scientific research went into creating these products. Though it did say in the disclaimer and often in red print, “Do not injest” because it is for aroma-therapy use only. “Oh you can!” exclaimed Steve, “Oh yes you can, that is a bunch of balony…it’s just like sunscreen, I don’t believe in it.” “But don’t you need it, especially to avoid skin cancer? It’s a really serious issue nowadays…” Ryan asked, continuing to describe how his family had a history of melanoma. Steve paused for a moment, “Oh yeah, let’s see what kinds of oils can be used for melanoma,” as he turned the pages and dabbed more oil on his sun blistered lips. “So your children don’t use sunscreen?” I worriedly asked, thinking of all the sun damage on my own face from years of not using sunscreen. “Oh no! Never, why would I want them to use that stuff?” Ryan and I began to get a little skeptical now, but I do have to say, the oils definitely had truth right? We do receive many, many nutrients from the foods we eat, especially what we harvest directly from the garden. Basil, oregano, thyme, mint, Chinese parsley, rosemary, all have medicinal properties. I do know however that too much of anything is NOT GOOD. Steve agreed.
Ryan felt hungry and headed out to purchase a meal to eat, while I was left with Steve...on my own, by myself. Don’t want it to sound creepy or anything, he was harmless. We continued to talk about green living, sustainability. He was from Santa Cruz, California after all, which I understood was the capital of all things having to do with organic living, “raw” living, and homeopathy. He continued on about his passion on “essential oils.” I began to realize that this Doterra company was really a pyramid that I would probably not want to support, even though the products seemed beneficial. Steve said, “There is no pressure, just want to share my passion of these oils with you guys…but if you are ever interested in purchasing the oils, here is my card, with the code.” I’ve been sucked into pyramid scams before in college, which were utter nightmares and I don’t agree with the structure. If Doterra helped to support organic farmers, non-GMO or maybe a healthy food relief fund to a country or community in need around the world, then I would be all about it.
Steve mentioned the night at dinner that his religion was by “living simply” and that was it. We all agreed of the benefits of his philosophy. He seemed a spiritual person, especially given that he was a recovering drug addict with a special testimony. He had been through more than enough in his life. I began to share that I was raised as a Christian and he also shared that he was also raised a Christian growing up. Steve then paused, looked at the ground and peered up at me. I was getting a little nervous at this point, wondering if Ryan had gotten lost while looking for food. “I’m going to share something with you now, if you don’t mind. You seem like an open minded person, one who accepts other people’s views.” I paused, “Um…sure, what did you want to share with me?” “Well you might think it’s crazy, but it’s all factual and true. You see my religion is somewhat different than others. It’s fascinating really and there is evidence. Have you ever heard of the 4th or 5th dimension?” Politely confused, shocked, I fluttered my eyes a bit to see if I was actually sitting on the soft, baige cushion, on the baige couch, on the heavily wooded loft, with a man named Steve, asking me a question like this. “Um…well, you mean like time and space, physics? Like you know Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity and how it relates to the time space continuum? ” Steve then gave me a confused look, “Well Einstein was a brilliant man, he also believed in the 4th dimension, you know, where the people of the underworld live.” The conversation had now turned from oils to underworld people and I didn’t know what to think. An episode of South Park flashed in my mind “Crab people, crab people…” No, no, I thought to myself, that is so bad U’i, just listen to the guy, he’s trying to describe something serious. So I stared back at him and asked, “Really, like people who live under the crust of this earth?” “Yes! There are tons of civilizations all living below us with technology far beyond our own. Einstein new this, and so many others. When I discovered this, everything in the world made sense, how I view the world makes sense now more than ever! There are civilizations beneath us holding knowledge and purity.” “Oh my gosh…really? I mean, how do you know is there any evidence?” I wondered. “Yes” Steve continued. “There was a man who met one of the mountain people who lived beneath Mount Shasta, have you heard of this mountain?” “No…but…” “Anyway,” Steve interrupted, “This man was taken underneath the mountain, lived with the underground civilization and recorded evidence of the existence of the underworld people.” I then asked, “Well, where is this man? Is he still alive?” Steve paused, “No, he’s dead now.” I pondered. I am a gullible person, as many of my friends know, and so I thought about this new theory and all possibilities, could there be people who live beneath us? I mean, isn’t it hot down there? Like flowing “magma” that move the continental plates? Do these people have special vessels, submarines, canoes that can be protected from the melting, scalding, molten liquid surrounding them? Do they live in specially contained heat protected bubbles? How do they get their food? Have they developed ways of cultivation far beyond what I could even imagine? They are after all much more “advanced” as Steve explained. What about the earthquake in Japan? How did the underground people fare there? Were they able to escape? All these questions, made me really think. Could this be possible? Steve then gave a book to Ry and I that he said could change our lives. It was called “The Effects of Recreational Drugs on Spiritual Development.” I thanked him for sharing his knowledge and religion. He knew that I seemed a little weary of his theory so he never brought up the subject again, although Ryan, Mike and I began to read the book that was given. The Preface began:
“Who is Adama? He is the High Priest, the spiritual leader in the sacred Lemurian city of Light called Telos beneath Mount Shasta, in California. He sits at the head of the Lemurian Council of Light of their inter-dimensinal city. He also acts as an ambassador and diplomat for Galactic contacts with our Star Brothers and Sisters, on behalf of humanity within and on the surface of the globe. Adama embodies the “Heart of Lemuria” which is nothing less than the heart of love and compassion and the heart of the Divine Mother, the return of the Christ consciousness on this planet with all its wondrous magnificence.”
A little stunned, I read the first page, then put the book down. The entire book is a telepathic interview with Adama by a woman named Aurelia Louise Jones, a town member of Mt. Shasta California. Ryan and Mike read a little more and basically it talked of why not to use illegal substances from our earth because it is not pure. The pure species are in the land of Telos. Anyway, not going any further into this. I will always remember Steve, his oils, and of the 5th dimension. I pray he will find the true light…
