Chapter 9

The Caves Of Time  

 

Having rare abilities to teleport from one time and place to another gave Bucko freedom to escape his lonely contemplative life on the mountain .

He was never constrained to life in a room . His imagination was like a bird that could fly through the sky to places far away and he could drift away to places where no one had ever seen .

He always enjoyed his escapes as a traveller in time and all the missions he was sent to do .

Living alone in his home on the top of a mountain was a little like being in a cave . His ability to teleport was his escape from that cave which made him feel connected to the early prehistoric cavemen .

He sometimes wondered if they were able to teleport like himself to other places in another time .

Each time he would teleport it always felt as if he was coming out of his cave and entering into a new existence no longer a man who lived in a dark cave but instead like a new unseen creature hiding from everyone he could see before him like a living saint or a hermit or even a caveman from the past .

He had knowledge . 

He was part of a plan .

He had the ability to leave the cave as maybe many others did , 

before their time on earth expired .

He wanted to go there and see for himself just how those cavemen lived while they were here on earth .

In that time before the human race evolved to become modern man in the here and now .

Bucko was also very aware of the spiritual world that is always ever so near between the dark and the light where insight is either lost or found .

His journey back in time was going to be a similar experience as a modern man returning into caveman , like a creature coming back from the light to the darkness looking for insight .

He studied some books that showed the drawings made by prehistoric people that had been discovered in caves where they had once lived a long time ago . After feeling comfortable in that place Bucko closed his eyes and meditated focusing on that place in that time and when he opened his eyes he was there inside one of those caves 

back in prehistoric time .

Small fires were burning in the cave providing light and warmth .

Some prehistoric people were sitting quietly as if meditating in a trance and making tribal sounds without speech . 

It sounded like an early form of mouth music without language , just a sound 

that echoed all around the walls off the caves interior .

Also in the cave were some people drawing images of horses and cattle being hunted by cavemen for their hide and meat . It was like the artists were creating a living art gallery for some generations to discover .

A picture of their life in a passage of time where they had once been was on display . Along with that some storytellers were telling tales in the quiet recesses of the cave to young children who sat in a circle listening about life on dinosaurs and other fascinating activities on the outside of the cave in the unknown valleys beyond where no one had ever seen .

Bucko was amazed at this commune of people who lived a simple life , full of inspirational activities together, peacefully and unobtrusively in one 

place where one was any better than anyone else . There was a sense of strength in their unity as a community without attachments or egos .

There were hunters and cooks , teachers and preachers , artists and storytellers all one family , living and giving for the benefit of all .

So many people with a lot to give to the community who lived in a cave.

Then to his surprise Bucko met a few travellers there inside the cave. As they spoke about where they came from , they all realised that one of the travellers was actually a caveman himself from the time and place where they were standing .

What an amazing discovery it was to meet a caveman who was able to travel to the future or the past .

He communicated with thought transfer in a visual sense to the minds of all the other travellers who saw what he was saying . This particular caveman shared something unique . 

He was actually an evolved soul who had chosen to live here in this prehistoric time as a caveman on earth in order to progress to the highest level in his spiritual life on a pathway to fulfilment in understanding the mystery of life eternal and the working of universal knowledge . 

Bucko also shared his role being involved with other travellers who brought him missions to complete .

All of the travellers in the cave shared their stories about who they were and how they were able to use their special gifts to make the world a better place .

One by one they all said farewell .

Bucko had a look at some of the drawings around the cave and when no one was looking he took some brushes and ink and oil crayons from his backpack and did a sketch of an astronaut on the walls of the cave .

Once he had finished his sketch, he closed his eyes and focused on his mountain home . When he opened up his eyes he was back home again .
