There is a woman. She has mysterious tics. + Adapting from a book that G!D in His mercy + allowed me to read - a book that Señorita + Clarissa supposedly wrote - and to share + happily, of course. +
+'Set your grains off on a ship that sails. + Maybe one day it will return to you.' (from + book of Ecclesiastes, which may be found + in Scriptures that some call the Bible) +
+There is a woman. She keeps secrets. + It exhausts her- + oh- Señorita Clarissa = + experience she has more than me, + in story-telling, which she- ah- + any-way, her tradition- + well, G!D gave me a thing freely, + and giving it as freely as it was received- + she has a chair, empty (Señorita + Clarissa, that is, not the woman who + has a secret) she ensures there + will be an empty chair when she tells + stories to people. This is so that + she tells stories that can address + the concerns of people - to heal, as in + medicine, if story were to be medicine - + so that (how?) empty chair, is to let + the unseen be recognised among those + who gather to hear story from her. For + the concerns of people may or may not + be seen- so, yes, if you want, to add + to ambience, you can say, it's a little + deeper than that. Much deeper- (chatter + coming into godless territory) - + it is to make clear (of course G!D knows + more than I do) what the story-teller + should or should not be addressing. + Going to refer to Scriptures: 'Brethren, + not all spirits (what is a spirit? + the Son of Man saying: 'a spirit o- + a spirit does not have flesh and bones, + but I have flesh and bones; touch me and see!') + not all spirits that come to you (or + come to an empty chair in a way that + those who can sense are able to sense) + are of the Spirit of G!D. For there will be + many false prophets in those days. (ya, + you know, they say "LORD G!D declares" but + surely they declare falsely. Ask them + for Scriptures that support what they say, + usually that will shut them up, or leave them + silent, if you choose to confront them). How do + you test whether a spirit is of G!D - the Holy + One of Israel, the Creator of all the Earths - + or not? It confesses that the Son of Man + came in flesh, eating and drinking, and rose + from the dead. If it confesses so, it is of the + Anointed One, whom G!D has sent. If it confesses + other-wise ("Oh, I'm just a spirit!" or "what Son of + Man? I do not- I'm just a spirit; I do not know + what Son of Man you're talking about!" or you know, + any other what-ever, including a disagreement + with- never mind, that's another topic) it is of + the opposition to the Anointed One, + the opposing force to the Anointed One, which + you have heard will come into the world, + and is indeed in the world (in truth of word + and deed, as surely as the LORD G!D lives, + I have witnessed this). This passage is from (the) + gospels. +
+Hm. +
+So, in the context of story-telling, oh- + for G!D has warned me of the following: 'Who-ever + is against the Christ, do not let them into your + house (home) - which may or may not be physical; may + or may not be seen before men - do not welcome them. + If you do so, you (and I) would share in (or join) + their wicked ways (such as idol-worship, those + poor, deluded fools - + un-repentant, if I may add so myself, + having bowed before a bowl of porcelain, + or ceramic, once, or even twice, or three + times, and remembering with gratitude + how the LORD G!D, who is the All-knowing + All-hearing and All-seeing rescued me from the + brink of Fire.).' (second book of John maybe) +
+'Beloved by Christ, you, take heed (or take care) + to not lose what we (you) have worked so hard for.' + (again from second of John; Scriptures, that is) +
+'Do not be troubled; do not fear; I bring peace, + and it is a peace that the world does not give.' + (from Scriptures) +
+To return to the point or note on empty chairs + at story-telling, for me it is helpful to discern + what has to be addressed. Basically, it helps + me to know who my people are. (Then I can choose + to address, or not to address, what-ever the unseen + is presenting to me, with the help of G!D Most High, + of course) +
+The Son of Man saying: 'Those who are not with + Me are against Me. Those who do not + gather with Me are not with Me, and those + who are not with Me are against Me.' + (book of Matthew, chapter twelve, verse + thirty) + http://biblehub.com/matthew/12-30.htm +
+Or, again: 'Those who are not with Me are against + Me. And those who are- those who do not gather + with Me scatter.' +
+Dispassion? Discernment? Contradiction? Compassion + and dispassion together? +
+As written in Scriptures: 'and Simeon blessed them, + (those who were with the Anointed One) + and said unto Mary his mother, + 'Lo, this one is set for (will be the reason + for) the falling and + rising again of many in Israel, and + will be a sign of contradiction - + those who have ears, let them hear -' +
+(contradiction? "sign of contradiction"? what's that + can it be eaten, you ask.) + ? + (2 Corinthians 2:16) second book + of Corinthians, chapter two, verse sixteen: +'To the one, we are an odor of death and demise; + to the other, a fragrance that brings life. + And who is qualified for such a task?' +
+That I may be a witness of Christ, so that + my Father who is in Heaven, and unseen before + men, may be glorified, happily learning + to be both an odour of death and demise, + and to be a fragrance of life. Did someone say + "contradiction?" or "paradox" perhaps? + +
+To summarise: empty chair at story-telling, + if story-telling were to be a healing art, + or a form of healing, as in what some call + 'rei-ki' or 'healing hands' - aids me + in discerning or to decide who to be + a fragrance of life to, who to be + an odour of death to = oh, (so happy) + praise be to G!D, of course, so- + may or may not help for you - depends + on action of G!D in your life, empty chair, that is- + a crutch need not be carried if man + learns to walk un-aided by crutch. +
+A related story, in case not clear enough
+ (another contradiction, hm, huh-hul (laughing))
+ lay-man terms, huh - any-way supposedly the
+ Buddha (ha-hah-ha) told his students or disciples
+ to move themselves across a river. Then
+ they got into a boat, and rowed to the other side.
+ Then they took the boat with them. and (ha-ha-ha)
+
:-D
+
+ walking, you know, with boat, after reaching
+ other side of river. Then the Buddha (still laughing)
+ saw this, sand and all on their feet, soaked
+ socks maybe, and carrying boat, you know,
+ and the Buddha (ha-ha-ha) said to them:
+ 'Why are you carrying boat?'
+ They said: 'Oh, cross river, how? cross with boat!'
+ And the Buddha said: 'I said to cross river, n-
+ did I say to carry boat with you? Put the boat
+ down, oh you poor people! Walking on other
+ side of river- after- having crossed river, now
+ carrying boat that carried you across river-
+ put it down! put boat aside!'
