Hidden Treasure
Take a deep breath and centre yourself. Now imagine you
are on a ship, sailing off for an island. One isolated, deserted island. See
this island as it comes into view. All golden sand and green palm trees. One
uninhabited island. Your ship gets closer and you drop anchor in the bay.
You want to go ashore. As you prepare to leave the ship, the captain gives
you an envelope. It has the instructions, only to be opened when you reach
the bottom of the valley and find the tree of the red ribbon. You take the
envelope, and shove it into your pocket. You are far more interested in just
getting ashore.
You leave the ship and land on the beach. Feel the white sand crunching
under your feet as you proceed alone up the beach. You can see what looks
like a trail between the palm trees so you take it. And, as you come out of
the trees, you find yourself looking down into a valley. A beautiful green
valley. You see a trail leading down. So you take it and descend into the
valley. And as you reach the bottom you see a tree which has a red ribbon
tied in it. Suddenly you remember the envelope stuffed in your pocket. You
retrieve it and open it. It holds a map and a key. The map is a treasure
map. Directions begin with a red dot (that has to be this tree with the red
ribbon) and end in a black cross. So let’s play the game of find the hidden
treasure. Look at your map. The directions are easy to follow. Let’s go find
that treasure. Before long you reach the spot marked with a cross. And in
front of you is an old treasure chest. You go to open it but find it is
locked. Ah, that’s what the key in the envelope is for. But when you try the
key it does not work. Confused you look again at the lock and notice that
there is a note. It reads before you can open this chest, you must give
intent. What intent you think? Intent that whatever you find in this is
chest is for your highest good.
You ponder on this. You just wanted the excitement of finding this chest to
be full pirate treasures. You know, gold, silver, jewellery. Now it looks
like that is not going to happen. You sit down and try and think what your
highest good means. Could it mean letting ego go and allowing a higher
source? You do know that chest has something valuable in it, otherwise it
would not be locked. And if it is not money then according to the notice is
still good for you. Okay you will play along with this. Give the intent now
to open this chest and see whatever is inside that is so necessary for you
at this moment. Have no preconceptions as to what is inside. Just know it is
for your highest good. Once you have given this intent take the key and try
the lock again. Hey presto, it works. Lift the lid and see what is inside.
What it is that the Universe is offering you. Reach it and accept your gift,
your treasure. Know it is for your highest good. Even if it isn’t clear to
you what it is or what it means, still take the gift. Accept it, for it is
uniquely yours and relevant to your life at the moment. Accept it, learn
from it, use it.
Now with your treasure in hand, climb back up out of the valley. Then
through the palm trees back onto the beach. Feel the sand once again under
your feet before you return to your ship and sail for home. Take a deep
breath and gently return to the room. With a valuable gift for your use.
