I was just going over your initial post again Don as its very information dense and I wanted to think on it....
It made me think of something that at the time it happened felt extremely significant. This was a long time ago and it was one of my near death encounters. I have experienced around...8 or so near death encounters. I forget how many. A LOT.
When this one happened I was very young, maybe 23 or so. It was a very hot day. I was out for a ride on my bike wearing daisy dukes, bikini top, and sneakers. Crossing from the curb to the island to hit the button to change the light so I could cross the main road. A man in a station wagon was about to make a right turn, focussing intently on the traffic coming over his left shoulder. As I passed in front of his vehicle, he hit the gas, failing to check the crosswalk before doing so and as this happened, everything kicked into extreme slow motion:
He struck me on my bike, knocked me flat over to the pavement. The fall felt like it was taking forever and I was frozen, watching the windshield going up, and up, and up....the car looming larger....larger...larger....till it overwhelmed me and I was suddenly under it, all the while as he was still looking over his left shoulder. His passenger (thank goodness she was there) slowly....slowly....raising her hands to her lips, eyes going wider....wider...opening her mouth to scream....a look of total horror on her face and then I was in the dark, under his car. He hit the brakes. The car stopped. The right side of my face pressed to the road, I was facing the left front tire. Another foot and he'd have crushed my head.
So now...that state of no time still upon me and I was, as I say, in the dark, under this vehicle....looking into the tire treads so close the tire was almost touching my nose. And there, caught in between two of the treads, hanging there right before my eyes was this luminous pure white stone that seemed to glow. Everything else was darkness, and this was the only thing that was light.
It was a perfect shape, so beautiful. It hung there in front of me like a full moon. And in that space of time it felt like a forbidding; like someone had thrown up a hand and halted the car, inches from crushing me.
I've never forgotten it. It was such a moment, in a frozen space between life and death, of no-time.
And then the man backed the car off me, I was able to get up (my legs shaking so bad I could hardly stand) and move off to the side, to the grassy curb, where I collapsed, unable to stand anymore. And the driver fled the scene, leaving me laying there on the grass.
But I was so glad to be alive, I barely noticed his departure. All I could see in my minds eye was that luminous white stone, hanging before my third eye, still hanging there, still with me. I can't explain how powerful that was. It felt unearthly. And it took awhile before I was able to stop shaking, get up and go home.
The other interesting thing was that I sustained zero injury; nothing broken, not even a bit of road rash. I was completely unharmed. Not even bruised, and not sore anywhere. Like nothing had happened.
The white stone of manna, manna being the lost word, mantra for the third eye, and this pure white stone was literally suspended before my third eye, like a moon in the sky. And it did in that moment, make me think of the moon. And it felt like a body, an embrace and a shield. It was so pure and white it seemed in that moment to contain real power, a spirit, it seemed to glow. It felt like a forbidding hand had been thrown up to halt the car, inches from crushing me.
And you're saying the mana rune means the moon, third eye ruled by the moon. so interesting. Because in that moment it did feel like a spirit intervened, stopped the inescapable death and the stone was symbol of the spirit.
And here I find it's symbol of Serapis/Osiris.
That is just.....wow.
I'm going to definitely try vibrating this mantra. Really glad you shared this information. Thank you.
