Found a stone and told me to smile
Part 1:
2010 London Victoria
I was in the area on my day off from work buying travel items for a trip to Brooklyn a day later. I was crossing a zebra crossing full of people then I saw what looked like a yogi walking towards my direction. Our eyes meet for a moment then he said to me that “There is something about you”
Normally I would of said “whatever” and walked on but what he said intrigued me so I asked him what he meant by that. We went to on to the pavement and he pulled out a card which had a picture of him sitting under a tree I guess it was his business card. He spoke broken English and looked a bit dishevelled but there was a presence about him that I had not experience before. He went on to say that there was something special about me and that he could help harness this power/gift. While he was saying he was performing magic tricks making pieces of paper disappear in his hand. My sense where split down the line, half of me feel that this was bloody awesome while the other half thought this is a big wind up. He asked me what was I’m seeking? Money, fame, love, I said I wanted to know more about my 5am project then I told him about my experience. I wasn’t expecting that response but he said he would help me. The yogi went one to say that I wasn’t happy in my job and that I was surrounded by bad energy. This was true, I wanted to leave my job and some of the people who I worked with were projecting a bad atmosphere which mad the job even worst. I knew that there was an option to move to Ipswich but I was not sure what to do. But everybody hates their job. Half of me was impressed of half not. The yogi went on to say that there was a bad energy inside me and that he would help me get rid of it if I performed a ritual and repeated his words. This was exciting so a Wednesday afternoon so I went along with it.
For the ritual I had to walk 140 steps and back carry a red string in my hand at the front of Victoria cathedral. As I was walking, my other half thought I this a channel 4 prank show then I am done for. I returned back to the yogi he took the string from my hand put it in his mouth, pulled it out and it was white. The things that he said to me to recite are a blur now but for those moments it felt like he knew me more than anyone knew me in my life all starting from that one glance. He then gave me rudraksha seed to keep and I was to wear it at all times while keep on praying for me. Then he hit me with the following words that he would need so money to help him get the materials to pray. My other half said to myself I knew it, How much I said “£100” he said. No way I laughed but then I looked at him, I thought I he had given my an experience that I had never shared before and looked like he need money and I had some holiday money on me…so I begrudgingly gave him £40. I took my number (yogi have mobile phones) and he said he would call me when I got back. I knew that I would not be seeing him again we thanked each other and went our separate ways.
The encounter lasted around 20 mins but I felt like we were in no time like something out of the matrix. Then everything went back to normal with the hustle bussle atmosphere of the London streets in effect. I sat on the tube look at this seed thinking I paid £40 for a seed. half of me was buzzing the other half repeated the word you idiot.
