TRUTHS
The companion story for the
for the
Lifestream Curriculum.
Through the endless map of space and time
dwells infinite stars and numerous planets. The stars love the planets, as the planets
love the stars. Together they have a unique plan. A singular vision and a united sound. A sound
that whispers itself to those with ears to hear.
Sound drives creation, and where there is creation, there is a plan. Often it is the case that creatures dwelling on planets
often forget what the plan is, and thus the remembrance of the sound, and even its belief, is lost in time. The plan behind
creation is such a vast one indeed that it takes only the very wise ones to remember it, and to carry that memory for all
others who have yet to wake up. And so this was the case on the age old turtle planet. A planet that resided far beyond the
mighty blue planet known as Earth.
The orange planet as it had come to be known, existed past the flaming twin suns of Trenus and through the mighty
asteroids of the Capricious sector and up through the rainbow realms of Demorialous. It was a far away world where the
heavy slow air was perfect for the turtles to dwell within. The dusty orange land, its cool murky green pools and lakes, and its
bright electric gray skies were all the turtles knew, and it was all they cared for. It was a world however, with a destiny.
Chosen by the stars for a harmonizing of life with the lost sacred sound.
Quite Content these turtles were in their orange environment that nothing much ever changed for them. Nobody knew how
old their race was, and it didn't seem to matter. But down in the southern continent, where the giant leaf plants grew three
feet long, a very special young turtle was learning how to swim for the very first time. "Hold your head up there young one"
said the old teacher turtle in his usual commanding tone. Stroking the white crop of hair that grew from his chin the old turtle
gazed in delight witnessing another turtle master the warm water. The young one flapped his fins and gasped for breath.
Learning this aspect of being a turtle was most definitely a challenge. It was a skill turtles learned when they become the
right age.
The shell of the young one glistened radiantly against the bright gray sky. At that moment the young one felt his energy fall.
For he had given it his all, and of all the places to be, he was right in the middle of his teachers pool. A last thrust of effort
came forth, but it was not enough. At that point his head plunged below the surface, his disappearing shell following quickly
behind. "Hold on young one" said the concerned but confident teacher. The wise old turtle dove in after his student.
Descending deep down into the lush green water to scoop up the turtle he had been entrusted to. The beginner turtle was
pushed to the surface, coughing and spluttering around in relief as his mentor delivered him to the edge of the secluded pool.
"You are not the fastest turtle to learn to swim, but you have the most perseverance" The old turtle declared smiling widely.
"Come, let us go inside and we'll light a fire and get you dry."
The dwelling of the wise old teacher was much like any other dwelling on the orange planet. The orange earth itself was a
substance much like clay. Easily molded and lined inside and out with the large leaves that grew just close by in the fern
fields. There were many structures like this dotted around the planet. They were often a large domed mound of orange clay
that was just big enough for a turtle to live in comfortably. In the middle of the teachers dwelling was a fire that burned long
hours into the night to keep him warm when the temperatures dipped down. The two turtles sat in front of it. Flippers facing
the fire. A rosy glow forming on their cheeks. The day had slipped quickly into night as it did at this time of the year.
The darkness evident through the hole in the roof where the smoke escaped through. The stars had come out to play,
dancing in their own time and whispering a truth that was available to be heard by those who knew how to listen. The old
teaching turtle was one who knew how the stars whispered, and as such he shared that knowledge with all the young ones
that he taught. Always keeping in mind the need to guide each turtle towards their true purpose and the fulfillment of their
specific missions. Little did the young turtle know that the message of the stars was waiting patiently for him to open his
ears.
The wise old one could see a question forming on the mind of his student. "Teacher, what does my name mean?" The old
turtle was pleased at his question. The fire had opened the energy centers of the young one and he found the intensity of it
calming and captivating. The old turtle was always in tune with the stars through his sensitive hearing. He knew the stars
were out now and that their whispers could be heard. The turtle had learnt to swim this day in water, and now it was time for
him to learn to swim in the sacred stars. Still holding his flippers out to the warm fire, the teacher leaned closer and
whispered something he had spoken many times before, to many other students. "You must ask the stars! They have the
power to give you the answers you seek. Do not look to any other turtle for your answers, for they know not who you are! The
messages from the stars come just for you, and you alone." The old teacher pulled back, gently closing his eyes and nodding
off into a happy meditative state.
The young turtle was now dry but restless. Filled with a question that consumed him more and more as he pondered upon
the implications of what he could learn. After a minute of careful thought, the young turtle lept to his hind flippers and
marched into the stillness of the night. The cool night time breeze did not deter him. The pool of green water lay as still as the
blanket of stars that seemed to kiss the young turtles eyes from above. It seemed like a curious thing to ask something so
distant for an answer to something so important. Yet what else could he do? He did not question the insights from his trusted
teacher. With flippers outstretched, in a gesture of openness to the stars, he whispered his question upwards. "My name is
Nahreem, and I seek the truth about the meaning of my name."
Focusing on the imagined hum of the many stars above him, Nareem silenced his thoughts and opened his being up to
receive all he could. Focusing on the intention was one of the first things he remembered his teacher reciting to him. And
that's exactly what he did do. Slowly Nareem could feel his energy pulsating inside him. A cascade of energy building
upwards harnessed with a pure intention. The silence inside Nareem's mind started to give way to brief pinpoints of sound.
Before too long those small impressions washed over him with an astonishing degree of clarity. Nareem could feel his
excitement mount. Just as his energy was rising a beacon of light seemed to reach down to him from one of the stars above.
The hum of their unified vibrations started to echo in his ears as if he was now carrying an imprint of their tune. A signature
of sorts of their unified perspective.
With a renewed determination he concentrated further. Then as if the stars could speak, a booming voice came forth from
within Nareem's mind. "Greetings from the stars young one! We have been waiting for your invitation. We are very pleased
with your intention this night. We have been monitoring your growth and are delighted to be able to show you part of the
larger vision that you are capable of holding this night. In this lifetime you will take on a great challenge. A challenge of
teaching a universal truth to the turtles of this planet." Nareem's eyes jumped open with delight. "We are the light of the
starry universe, and we have a message for you." The young turtle began to feel hypnotized by their embracing sound. He felt
entranced in their hypnotic presence. He listened intently. For their words were soon to transform the meaning of his very
life. "You are the starseeker" Came the message. "Nareem, the starseeker."
Nareem had his answer, but now he knew he could have so much more. The intelligence of the light energy was certainly
overwhelming in its enormity. He could feel the enticing anticipation of star information cresting on a wave of pure joy
towards him. Never before had he felt anything like this. "Tell me more" Nareem insisted. The focus of his mental insights
sharpening as the light picked up. Then, as if the star light pulsed itself into his mind, he started to hear the dialogue even
clearer. "Most turtles live their whole lives seeing the stars but never paying attention to why they exist. They forget the
connection that exists between the stars and their heritage. In order not to be blinded by a forgetful culture only children that
learn star truths at an early age will advance into their future with the knowledge that can help to transform a world."
Nareem sat there absorbing every detail.
"Each turtle on this planet has a lifestream of energy. That energy contains their spiritual essence. That essence connects
them like a thread to their real home beyond this reality. No lifestream is ever separate from the whole. It interacts with all
forms of life around it, wherever it happens to manifest. It contains powerful knowledge that one has to open to in order to
access. Your lifestream manifests as a thread of light with which every turtle uses to return back to the source. There are
turtles all over this orange planet that have lost touch with this basic truth of existence. And nothing is higher than truth.
Truth IS light!" Nareem's mind was now buzzing with a furious pace. "What do I need to do?" questioned Nareem. "We can
help provide you with a blueprint that your spiritual development will flow through. All developing turtles on this path will
reconnect with their lifestream through these main points." Nareem smiled in quiet approval. He was feeling a new kind of
happiness that made him feel warm inside even though the night itself was growing colder. "Are you ready for our
knowledge tender young turtle." Nareem answered before the question was asked. He did not answer with words. The
release of his intention was all he needed to proceed.
"Very well," the light acknowledged. "Remember nothing is separate. The demonstration of your truths will define your
success as you advance spiritually. It is the fulfillment of harmony that you seek young one, and you can use my light to
illuminate your path ahead. As you feed the world more of your truths your light will radiate in a way that allows others to see
what you are able to see. You are an energy field and like all energy you are built to transform! Energy moves between two
points and through barriers. There is no inherent limitation in the mind of energy. View yourself as energy and use this model
I will give you to navigate your way through the next 10 years of your life. You will find this period a challenging time but
ultimately, if you apply these lessons you will be rewarded with many lasting treasures inside your soul." Nareem could feel
the energy from the light shift and refocus. He knew that the information that was soon to follow was very important indeed.
"You will know you can trust your truths when your feelings support what you know inside. It is a feeling that unifies the
energy that flows between your mind and heart. In your fourth year you will learn to use your emotions to steer you towards
the revelation of your truths. You will also use your emotions to connect with my light. This spiritual light, undetectable to
those in your world can be felt and absorbed through your feeling centers. When you embrace my light you will develop your
intuition. This intuition will be a guiding force that opens you up to greater truths. It is your eternal roadway towards your
ongoing enlightenment. At this age you are learning these valuable truths that will allow you to anchor more of your
lifestream as you go through life. Now follow me through your future years and watch how you will be able to swim in your
stream." A satisfied smile grew on the face of Nareem. He was ready to hear more.
The mind and heart of Nareem were in perfect sync. He had total trust in the gentle intelligent light that cast brightly upon him
this night. The soft glow of warm light seemed to radiate outwards from him. Into the bushes and pools beyond him and into
the bodies of the restless creatures of the night. He was starting to feel how everything was connected and just maybe
where the root of bliss began. "Everything expands with faith." The light began once again. "Faith is a belief that manifests
balance in all you can apply it to. Faith is what makes the expression of truth easy. Faith is my light made visual to your world.
Faith sustains your development as you go through your fifth year. Faith will simply balance everything my young turtle. No
other individual or organization can tell you what your faith is. As you progress through this stage you will knowingly and
unknowingly pull on levels of guidance that you hadn't known existed before. Once again use your feelings to trust what is
true. When you successfully tune into the guidance that is right for you, you will obtain an insight that will help you to
understand why the world is what it is, and the motivations others carry in their slumbering state. As you progress through
your sixth birthday you will start to successfully express what you have learnt so far. In this expressing you will demonstrate
your desires. Your desires reflect the pure intent of our joint light. Your desires are in alignment with everything that is in the
best interests of those that exist in your life. When you have tapped into your desire, you will have the internal knowledge of
how to transform yourself. In truth since this process began you have been doing nothing but transform. No sense of
transformation is greater than adapting into stronger and stronger visions of yourself. You will define your own sense of
strength. There is great strength in an outward force of will, but remember that there is just as much strength in the purest
form of tenderness. At this stage your courage will be undeniable. When you pass through your seventh birthday you will feel
the momentum generated by using your courage. You will see how your courage and your trans formative powers join
together to create the same outcome, which is your eternal strength!"
Nareem blended with the energies that merged effortlessly within him. He felt a new lightness in his being. He felt
unburdened by all the external things that he had once deemed so important. Now, as he embraced pure truth, he felt fed and
full, as if he was eating the most grand meal he could conceive of. After a pause he let the knowledge continue to flow. "It is
important to learn at this stage how to integrate what you have come to learn. A spiritual turtle is one that balances all their
internal energies. Integration comes naturally for those who are aligned with their light. Integration is the key device that
shapes your strength into a constructive and unified force. Integration is the ability to take all of your individual positive
characteristics and shape them into one cohesive flow of united energy. This is a close approximation of your lifestream.
Now as you pass into your eighth year you will be starting to live with such heightened energy that it will spark your passion
in a way that will lead to new sense of personal freedom. This is truly something to rejoice about young one. For once you
have experienced that you will be flooded by new waves of inspiration. This process feeds upon itself and is like a natural
evolution for your consciousness. A strengthening of your convictions is at hand as you progress past your ninth birthday. A
test you can use for your convictions is to look at what you are creating. Is it for the highest good of yourself and others. Is it
strengthening your foundations? Convictions that reflect the Prime Creators intentions with light and love is how you will
exist with me in harmony. Now let us talk about manifesting. How do you use your convictions at this stage to bring about a
deeper expression of your intended reality? Well, little one, you need to discover your talents. These are the things that are
inherent gifts that you were born with. Indeed, they are another aspect of your internal strengths. Every turtle has their own
talents to offer the world, as you most certainly have. Some have a talent for talking, some writing, some visualizing, some
for thinking, on and on it goes. When you understand where your talents lie you will know what the best form you posses to
execute your truths. When you express your talents wisely and intelligently you will bring about a new level of wealth for
yourself. It is the natural flow of energy returning to you. This wealth could be financial, but it also could be in the form of
finding your mate or discovering a new friend. The wealth you get in return is a mirror image of the intention you are giving
out."
These concepts were energizing the mind of Nareem. With the speed of light his thoughts grew and grew, wondering what
kind of wealth he could attract into his life, and which things would serve him best. The light continued. "Now as you feel
yourself stretch healthily on your 10 birthday, you will have succeeded in a new level of internal fulfillment from the wealth
you have started to build for yourself. This fulfillment will give you an abundance that you can radiate out to all those you have
yet to meet. This sense of abundance will help you broadcast your vision of peace and goodwill. Once you have obtained this
though it is good to sit back and reflect. You must take stock of what you have learned and this will help you derive your
sense of purpose. This period of reflection is critical because it is easy to get lost and sidetracked when one doesn't pause
to re orientate oneself with their personal higher vantage point. Now you have entered your eleventh year and you can start to
feel a real pride about yourself and where you are headed. Use this pride to also fuel your sense of connected purpose. At
this stage you maybecome aware, more so than before, of your sensitivities. You may see yourself as more sensitive to
certain things than your counterparts are. This is natural and once again where you return to your sense of strength and
balance. Embrace your sensitivities, for they will help define your conscience. When you reach the age of twelve it is now
time to take what you know to a new and higher level. This is where you develop a singular relationship with me. You use me
as your total guiding force. You will still maintain every aspect of your infinite individuality, but our energy is now fully unified.
Here you will reach out to me in your ability to speak to me through prayer. This is a free thinking prayer that fully speaks to
the freedom you started to feel when you were eight. There is no limitation in this sense of prayer. It is not governed by any
rules. It simply is the closest form of energy exchange that you can achieve while you exist in this turtle shell. This open form
of prayer can lead to only one thing... A sense of devotion to the light that exists in oneness between you and I."
In that moment a new, stronger beam of light, entered Nareem's inner shell. This chord ran through his energy centers and
he had never felt so completely connected and open. Now he knew what it felt like to feel total devotion towards such high
energy. "When you learn to join me in prayer you will be touching me directly. As you do that more and more you will want to
spend an increasing amount of time in this energy. You will learn to connect with me through meditation. In these times of
meditation you will glimpse the ultimate source which is the Prime Creator. When you feel the presence of source inside of
you, you will understand how the whole universe resonates with a sense of togetherness. This is your destination and it is
one of your final lessons on this road to understanding your lifestream. You are all talented, gifted, strong turtles that are all
pillars of light. Your soul is simply light energy. You have felt tonight, this beam of light in yourself young turtle. You must go
and reflect your lifestream to others and they will in turn learn much more about themselves. When your commitment to this
reality has been played out you will be able to ascend into further realms of existing with all that you know. The source is also
where the lifestreams around you will one day return to and it is your responsibility as the bearer of this knowledge to give
your fellow turtles a glimpse of this place. You will discover all of these things sweet turtle, over the next ten years of your
life... with my guidance, and with the growing expression of your Truths. For once you ascend, you will be the pure
manifestation of your truths. You are Nareem... an ancient star seeker! You have called on me and I are here for you, as I
always have been. The great universe of star sounds awaits you, and there are those turtles here that are ready to hear what
you could teach them. Show them the sounds the stars make, and they will begin to understand more about how the
universe works together as a collective whole. For them, listening will be believing." Feeling a rush of star sounds pass
through him, like a blissful heavenly melody, Nareem's eyes slowly lifted open from his trance like state. The light from the
star above was now fading in intensity but he continued to feel warm all over. Nareem sat contentedly gazing off into the
distance, his mind full with potent possibilities. If he was in fact the star seeker, and stars have a sound that other turtles
needed to hear in order to start believing... then maybe that was what he needed to create! But how would he
capture the sounds of the stars, he wondered. "I'd need to create a star sound device!" Nareem whispered
excitedly to himself. He'd need a pad of paper to start with, and of course guidance from the stars.
