The Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

The Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

By Paul McCann 

In a Nepalese village a baby boy was born to a Sherpa called Kamal who was a seventh son of another sherpa called Anju . What was so special about this new born child now was that he was Kamal’s seventh son and so becmae  the seventh son of a seventh son . There was talk all over the mountain about this baby boy who was given the name Ankit which means chosen one . As he grew it soon became clear that Ankit was bestowed with special gifts . From an early age he knew things before they happened . He had an inner vision like watching television . He was able to foresee natural disasters like avalanches and earthquakes and warn people of the danger . He could also look at people and see illness as well as knowing those people who were going to die .

The word about his gifts spread and soon pilgrims made their way to the mountain village with the hope of getting cured by Ankit . In his early teenage years Ankit was able to see lost souls who came to him . Like fireflies drawn to a light they came and Ankit was able to direct them to find their way to the next life . He was also contacted by spirits from the other side who spoke to him about his life and how they would guide him during his life .    

People in his village feared and revered Ankit and there were those who wanted to use him for their own greedy plans however Ankit was always able to tell their intentions .

When Ankit reached the age of 21 years he had a visit from three spiritual guides  from the other side who explained to him that he would have to leave the mountain village and travel into the West to heal people who were sick as well as to enlighten others who had lost in the shadows of civilization . They informed that they would always be there to guide him during his life and whatever he would decide to do or where ever he would choose to go they would be there to help and guide  always ,  He was told that the beginning of his journey into the Western world was already  arranged but anything that would happen after that was up to him ,

When the day came for Ankit to leave the mountain village, no one questioned him about why or where he had to go because they realised he had a mission in life .

Before he left he was given instructions about his passage over the mountain with some Sherpas who would bring him into India and following that he would be given passage on a ship to Ireland where accommodation was already arranged .

Before leaving Ankit asked the people of his village to intervene for him as four men had intentions to prevent him from starting his journey . He gave the names of those four men and they were hunted out from their holes and tied up with ropes . There four men were jealous of the gifts Ankit had been given and said he was not worthy to be known as the chosen one and so made plans to see him fail to start his mission to bring change and insight into the Western world . Ankit saw their wicked plan to make his journey a difficult passage with many dangers on the way . So he put a stop to their plan and informed the elders of the village who they were .

As soon as they were named and shamed they were placed into a mountain cave under guard and told to hide their faces away until the Mountain brought back the flowers and herbs in the Spring and if they tried to leave the cave they would receive a spear for their crime .  

Ankit had always been able to prevent wrong doings and in some wonderful way turn them around to make everything work out right . When trouble came he found ways to cope . He had the ability to ground himself in meditation to bring energies from the spiritual realm into a world that he was familiar with .  .

In the months ahead , against all the odds Ankit made his way to Ireland where he was given the address of a home where he could live for six months . The cottage was situated on a small farm at the foot of a mountain . The farm had a dew animals with a barn . There was a well and some vegetables growing in a patch around the little home which was empty for a while because the owner was travelling to America to promote her latest novel . The arrangement was made for Ankit to move in and live there  rent free and in return he would look after the pigs and goats who lived on the small farm .

 

For the first week or two Ankit mediated in the silence .

The little home was peaceful and he felt at home under the thatched roof .

His spiritual guides told him that some people would come to the cottage asking for directions to Pilgrims way at  Benbulben and he should offer them food and shelter before setting off on their journey . Some of those who would stay have a serious illness that they were not aware of and as Ankit could see by the colour of their aura what their condition was and how serious it could be it was his duty to inform them .

Education and making people aware was what he had to do .

 

One morning as he was mediatising he saw a group of travellers approaching .

They knocked on the door of the cottage and Ankit opened the door and smiled “Can I help you ?” He asked .

“I wonder could you tell us where Pilgrims Way would be. We’ve been following our map but somehow we took a wrong path and now we’re lost .”

The four of them looked tired and hungry ..

“Please come inside and have some food before you continue your journey >

Ankit said .

“Oh thank you so much we’ve been walking around for hours and getting nowhere “

They were very all very grateful and went inside the cottage .

Ankit helped them off with their coats and in doing so he looked kind of to one side of them so he could see their life force and auras .

The lady he looked at first was had a serious cancer , her life force was starting to dim and the second person he looked Ankit noticed that his aura was red indicating a lot of anger and unforgiveness in him . As Ankit looked closer he felt a coldness come over him and then he saw a spirit  enter the room . It was that of the angry man’s dead Father . The Father spoke to Ankit and asked if he would tell his son how sorry he was about the argument they had before he passed away .

The third person had a blue in her aura indication a sadness and sorrow and there was also a problem with a heart condition due to being over stressed . That condition was getting worse and required attention . The last of the four had a beautiful white aura and was a very spiritual person . He was close to God and had no health issyes .

As they all sat down Ankit said ,

“Make yourselves at home I’ll make us some tea and sandwiches “”

A few minutes later he set the table and brought a tray of food .

He asked them all to come and sit at the table and as they did he again looked at their auras to make sure he had not made any mistake about their conditions .

After they finished eating Ankit said ,

“So you’re all travelling on a pilgrimage then ?

The many with the white aura replied ,

“We all work together in an office and I was going away for a weekend retreat as I’m contemplating the priesthood but my work colleagues don’t want me to become a full time religious cleric and so they have all come along with me on this retreat at Benbulben to get in the way of things .“

Everyone laughed and one of the ladies asked ,

“ Now tell us about yourself , do you live here all alone in this place ?”

“Well I’m really never really alone , you see, I’m the seventh son of a seventh son“

“So what is that all about then ?’”

Ankit responded ,

“God has bestowed me with some special abilities most do not have.”

The man with the pure white aura was intrigued and asked ,.

“Can you tell us about those gifts ?”

Ankit looked at each of them and said ,

“You coming here today was no accident , I already knew you were coming.“

The angry man scoffed and laughed .

Ankit looked at him and said .

“Your Father is here with us now and he wants you to forgive him for the argument you both had before he passed away “
The angry man stopped laughing and looked worried .

“How did you know about that .I’m the only person who would know that.”

Ankit replied  .

“Your fathers spirit cannot be at rest until you forgive him . He is standing behind you now and needs to hear you say he is forgiven. ”

The angry man started to cry and spoke .

‘There is nothing to forgive because the argument was my fault. Dad I miss you and I love you so much , please be at peace now ”

A warmth came in to the room and the spirit was able to find peace .

Ankit noticed the change as the redness that was in his aura was leaving .

Turning to the sad lady,  Ankit saw a young child standing beside her holding an candle . The child spoke to Ankit about her  mother and as she did he related what was said to the sad woman .

“You’re daughter lost her life many years ago when she was scalded by some hot water in a pot on the stove that she tried to reach for and now she needs you to let her go , Her death is not your fault , it was an accident , you must stop grieving and punishing yourself because it is having an effect on her life in the spiritual world , her  light is dimming on the other side and she cannot rest at peace until you let her go and stop hurting..”

“The say lady burst into tears and said

“I have never told anyone about my daughters death . She was my only child and I have blamed myself for leaving the kitchen unattended.”

Ankit smiled and said ,

You have suffered long enough , if you continue your daughter can not be happy and at peace so please for her sake , start to forgive yourself and let it go ‘

The lady started to smile and then she said ,

“I promise from now on I will never grieve again. Thank you so much for this, how do you know all these things? “

Ankit replied ,

“As I said I have certain gifts that allow me to see things other people can’t”

He looked at the lady with cancer and spoke to her ,

“I must tell you something that is quite serious . You have a cancer in your body that you’re not aware of and its starting to spread . Please get a check up with your doctor as soon as possible . Even though there are many treatments  out there the one you need that will help you is stem cell transplant . There is no time to waste “

The woman was shocked and said ,

“Young man , you are mistaken I feel quite well and strong . I am able to look after myself without any help “

 

“Ok then go on and continued to live as you do but I’m here to tell you about a very serious problem , you really need to listen and take action because your time is running out .“

The woman replied ,

“Even if I take your advice how would I know if I can be cured ?”

 

“I can only tell you the road to travel but the destination is not clear . If you do not try to fight this condition you will survive this.”

 In the corner of the room a light was shinning and a lady stepped out from the light .

 

“My name is Rosita and she is my daughter Jean who has always been stubborn . Tell her that I said she has to do as you say and for once in her life believe in someone other than herself”

 

Ankit related this message to Jean who when white with shock . Then she said ,

‘Oh well now I really do believe you .  Tomorrow I will go to the doctor and request for the treatment you have said .”

 

Ankit asked them all to stay the night and they accepted his offer . During the night they all shared personal testimonies and looked to Ankit as their champion , their hero even , a talisman and defender . They all felt comfortable with him .

He looked at them now and then as if to say  ,

 

“Yes its ok , I know who you all are , don’t worry everything is fine  “

 

“In the morning when they awoke Ankit already had breakfast for them .

They all ate and Ankit said ,

“Your pilgrimage is at an end  . Now you all can return back to your own lives . “

“Will you always ne here in this place ?

Asked one of them .

“:No I am soon to leave ?”

He replied and the lady with cancer asked . .

“Where will you go and what will you do ?

“I am not sure of that yet . When I was a boy I would often just go places on the mountain to hide away and be with my guides . They come to me always and tell me things . I have seen images of where I should be but don’t even know where they are So I am waiting for guidance to continue my journey in life “

The spiritual man with the white aura handed a piece of paper and sad ,

“I have a good friend who is looking for helpers to pick grapes on his vineyard in France . He also has other contacts who require seasonal workers to plant seeds and tent to livestock . If ever in your travels you need some money and a place top stay call him and let him know that Dublin Jack said hello “

Ankit took the paper and thanked him .

“Well I guess now I know where I have to go now..”

Everyone laughed and one by one they all said goodbye to Ankit .

The lady with the cancer said ,

“I will survive the fight”

Ankit replied .

“ Go the distance and be strong in the fight and you will win”

The angry man had changed and shook Ankit’s hand ,

“ My name is Leo King and when this life is over I hope my father and I can be together forever and be happy >”

Ankit replied ,

:”Why not after all you’re the good son who found a loving father that death could not separate . I am sure you and he will be there in a blessed eternity “

The broken hearted lady who could not hide the smile from her face said ,

“Every moment of everyday I will be at peace now . I don’t know how I can ever thank you but I will always remember you in my prayers “

The spiritual man looked at Ankit and before he could speak Ankit said ,

“Life goes on every day and we cannot change what will His will is for us . .

Listen to  Him and be guided by him because its already the day before tomorrow and you need to find yourself again . Be patient and He will will let you know what to do”

Ankit watched the four of them make their way down the road towards the foot of Benbulben .  They each had a bright new aura around them and a peace about life that they had never had before .

Ankit closed the door and thought about picking grapes in France  .
