I recently learned I think anyway unsure.gif

In the USA a congressman named Jefferson recently was charged with hiding $90,000.00 in his freezer.

My problem is I am a GHOSTCHILD and that money is mine! You see I accidentally dropped the money in Lake Ontario. Then out-of-the-blue and right before my eyes this huge 75 pound lake trout came up from the depths and swallowed it. So I figure, it then was caught and frozen. Well wouldn't you know it Jefferson went to the store and bought that trout and put it in his freezer. Now the FBI raid his house and find my money in the freezer and seize it.

Now my problem is this, the judge has frozen Jefferson's assets and my $90,000.00. It sort of reminds me of the plight that most here have concerning children frozen in time the government frozen in corruption with the judges who are all just dry frozen in the brain.

Good Point JJ cool.gif

Speaking of points, I thought I might be onto something this morning when I finally "got the point" from a dream time message. It took a few years, and then like a light bulb clicked on upstairs, I finally "got it."

It's like say, you have a dream and it's directing you to Gavin's point dam. So you go on and on trying to figure out..."what's up with this Gavins point dam?" Then all at once you realize no, it's not Gavin's point dam, but Gavin's Point, Damn!

So you go search for the point Gavin was trying to make, or what she knew, and Damn! Wouldn't you know it, all trails grow cold as page by page pops up, page unavailable or error 404 or page no longer exists here. Well, double damn! I sort of already know where all points lead to, just wanted to verify, that's all.

Good news is, the weather page and ghostchild are still coming in on the internet just fine. Maybe the other stuff was just a figment of my imagination. Wonder what the Vatican would have to say about all that.

Hmmm, now back to work, where was I, Jeanne d'Arc or was that Maurian, darn I can't remember the spelling right now.

Here is something I learned today - well - I think it's something either learned or amusing. I will post this weather statement for our area from this afternoon. Apparently if these funnels do touch they will only do a brief amount of damage (Heaven knows what) but hey, we aren't supposed to worry about it! Smiling and amused. Prairy

From a dreamtime search this morning, I'd like to share this story I found. I'd been searching for the Elephant in the Sky, and here is what I found.

The Elephant and the Mahout
I am indeed honoured that such an auspicious elephant and his affectionate mahout have come to Varanasi...
by Varsha Das


Once upon a time a silly king ruled the kingdom of Magadh. He was extremely jealous of anyone who looked better than him, be it a man or a woman, a bird or even a beast!

The king had many elephants, but his favourite was the one and only white elephant. He had all the characteristics of a great human being! He looked almost divine with a six inches wide halo around his body. People's mouths fell open in awe whenever they saw him. The king was so proud of him that he named him Auspicious Elephant.

On festivals, the king was supposed to ride an elephant and take a round of the city. On one such occasion he chose to ride the white elephant. The mahout had decorated him with colorful patterns on his body. The king was pleased to ride such a magnificent elephant. He set out for his usual round of the city. Thousands of people stood on both sides of the streets to greet the king, but when they saw the brilliance of the elephant they began to praise him and ignored the king. He saw the same response of the people everywhere. Some awed by the elephant's halo had thrown flowers and garlands on him. Others struck by his beauty praised him aloud.

The king turned green with jealousy. He could not bear his people paying so much attention to his elephant. He was bursting with envy and anger. The poor elephant was no rival to the king, but an angry and jealous person can hardly think straight! In that state of mind he decided to kill the elephant. However he could not order his killing because the animal had already become so popular. The king thought of a wicked plan. He asked the mahout to cut short the city tour and returned to the palace immediately.

On his way back the king planned such a strategy that the elephant's death would look like an accident. He decided to take the elephant to the top of the mountain Vepulla and then manipulate an accident in the forceful waterfall.

When they reached the palace the king alighted from the elephant and asked he mahout, "So, you have been looking after this elephant. Haven't you?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," said the mahout awaiting further instructions.

"Have you taught him any tricks?" was the next question.

"Oh, I have taught him many tricks," the mahout proudly replied.

"Well, can this elephant climb the mountain Vepulla and reach the peak?"

"Yes, of course," replied the mahout.

'Then take him there. I went to see how, with this heavy body he manages to climb the steep mountain."

The mahout sat on the elephant and they headed towards the mountain. The king followed him with his retinue. In no time, Auspicious Elephant was on the top of the mountain. The king was on his fastest horse but he could not compete with him! The mahout very happily told the king, "Here were are!"

"Very well done!" said the king and quickly added, "Don't come down. Have you taught him to stand on three legs?"

The moment the mahout said, "Yes, I have," the elephant lifted one leg and calmly stood on the three.

"Bravo!" said the king. "Now make him stand on his two hind legs. Do you think he can do that?"

The elephant immediately lifted his front legs and was standing quite comfortably on the two hind legs. The mahout proudly patted him and asked the king, "Can we come down now?"

"Not as yet. I want to watch a few more tricks. Make him turn towards the waterfall and ask him to stand on the front legs," ordered the king.

The elephant now faced the waterfall and lifted his hind legs!

Everyone except the king clapped for him and showered praises on the mahout and the elephant. The king was enraged. His next move was rather dangerous.

"How about standing on one leg?" The king was sure that the elephant would lose his balance and would slip into the waterfall. But this was no ordinary elephant. Like a dainty dancing girl the elephant lifted his three legs and stood only on one with perfect balance of the body.

There were cheers all around but the king was exasperated. He had tried everything but he could not achieve his goal. As the last shot the king ordered an impossible feat. He asked the mahout, "Have you taught him how to stand in the sky?"

Now the mahout became suspicious about the king's intentions. Auspicious Elephant had the powers to fly and he could even stand in the sky. He was about to lift his body above the ground when the mahout whispered in his ears, "This king is asking you to perform all these tricks because he wants to kill you. He has malice and jealousy in his heart. Your life is precious. You are a very special auspicious elephant. Let us fly away to Varanasi. The king of Varanasi is a learned and noble man. Both of us will live happily over there, and serve the king."

"I think you are right. Let me put you on my back." The elephant picked up the mahout with his trunk and safely placed him on his back. Then he concentrated on his positive powers. He told the mahout, "Hold me tight. I am going to take off now."

The elephant with the mahout flew up and stood in the sky facing the king of Magadh. The king realized his mistake. He apologized to the elephant and asked him to come back but it was too late. The mahout's parting words reached the king's ears, "You are not worthy enough to possess such an auspicious elephant. He has extraordinary positive powers. He uses them to give happiness to others. And you have negative tendencies like jealously, arrogance, and conceit. You always want to harm those who are better than you. What a pity, you could not appreciate such a wonderful elephant who was so loyal to you. You even wanted to kill him! Please remember what I am going to tell you now. When a foolish person receives a huge inheritance he destroys it. The same has happened to you."

And they flew away. The king and ministers were speechless. Their mouths fell open.

On reaching Varanasi the elephant stood still in the sky above the palace garden.

"Hey look! There is an elephant in the sky!" screamed a child. The word spread like wildfire. Everyone was out in the streets to see the most unusual phenomenon. The whole city was struck with amazement! The moment this news reached the king he too rushed out. He was a wise and kind king. He addressed the elephant with respect, "I am indeed honoured that such an auspicious elephant and his affectionate mahout have come to Varanasi. If the purpose of your arrival is to help me with looking after my people then please descend here in my garden."

The elephant came down. He and the mahout were greeted with warmth and honor. The king instantly recognized their noble qualities.

Since the elephant was the Bodhisattva and the king had taken good care of him, his good fortune flowed in the king's life. His kingdom expanded, his riches multiplied and he devoted his life to the happiness of his people till the last breath

Hopefully I will be able to share the outcome of the "Snake at the Gate" soon.
