King Leo. A dragon’s tale of reincarnation and karma. Chapter 12 — The Healing.

At the dinner break, Leo rested in his carrier bag that Kathy held on her lap, a little tired after the excitement of the day. Kathy had packed some carrots, which he liked, and some bits of an oat bar that were sweet and tasty. He napped a little, enjoying the warmth of her body. He wasn’t worried anymore that the Master would forget him, the dream had cleared that up for him.

“OK Leo, wakie wakie. The evening session is starting.”

Kathy yawned, it was already late, and they had started the day early.

She smiled at him.

“It’s all right Leo, Master often teaches late in to the night. He says the energies of the earth and heaven are different in the wee hours, and we are better able to receive the teaching and the blessings.”

That made sense to Leo, though he was not a night reptile, he liked the daytime. Yawning to himself, he settled down to listen, and watch the teachings.

After an hour or so, Leo decided to take matters into his own claws. He wriggled off of Kathy’s lap, and made his way unobtrusively down toward the stage where the great teacher was standing. His stealth moves were so good that nobody at all noticed him until he was standing on the stage itself, gazing raptly at the man. The Master saw him, and knelt down to have a look at Leo. He didn’t say anything, but smiled his beautiful smile, and stood up, asking the crowd,

“Who is it that has brought this creature here?”

Kathy, looking more than a little flustered, stood and approached the stage.

The teacher beckoned her to come up.

“Who is this good fellow, why did you bring him?”

Leo thought that was good, that the Master knew he was a male bearded dragon. It wasn’t all that easy to know, even by looking. The Master knew though. Of course he did.

Kathy spoke.

“Well, it might sound strange to you, but this is Leo, and he himself asked me to bring him here, to see if you can help him on his journey. I think he may have committed some serious past life mistakes. He’s a good dragon, and I love him, but I think he was a human before, and maybe has some bad karma.”

Kathy leaned down and let Leo come on to her arm, so he could come up and be seen.

The Master examined him closely, looking deeply into his eyes, taking in every detail. Then he closed his own eyes and was still for some minutes.

Then ensued the most powerful, magical hour that Leo had ever experienced in this or any other life. This he knew.

The Master was kind, but forthright in speaking about Leo’s past lives, especially the one in which he had been such a bad ruler. He spoke to Leo, but also to the assembled students. With his clear inner vision he could see all Leo’s lives to the present moment.

“I can see, dear one…that you have had many, many lives. There was one in ancient times here on earth, that caused your great downfall, could have even cost your soul journey altogether. You caused unfathomable suffering and death to countless souls, humans and animals both. That incarnation being was cruel, and indifferent to the suffering and pain of others. You generated so much negative karma in that life experience, and lifetimes after, that it has taken you millions of incarnations to get to where you are now. I can see that you have paid much debt, through your own suffering and also good service in some lifetimes. It’s true that you still have such heavy karma that as it stands now, you may have at least hundreds of thousands of lives of good service to be done with it. Maybe more.”

“Whaaaaaaat?”

Thought Leo,

“Noooooo! That can’t be true!”

He felt a hot panic in his head and stomach. He was trembling all over. Hundreds of thousands of lives? Nooooooo!

The great teacher felt his distress and was compassionate to him.

“There is good news Leo. Through the grace of Heaven, I have been blessed with gifts that can help to clear those dark blockages, at least most of them. This is a form of grace, you are neither deserving nor not deserving. It is simply the love and compassion of the Divine. Your heart is seen and known.”

Leo began to calm, he’d been afraid for a moment there that he might be having the beardie version of a heart attack.

Kathy stood stock still the entire time, mesmerized by the presence and the words of the Master, her blue eyes as big as quarters, and bright with unshed tears. She hadn’t known what to expect, but this great generosity opened her heart with deep thanks. She whispered to Leo,

“It’s all right Leo. It’s going to be all right.”

The Master stood with his eyes closed for some long moments, gathering the blessing, and communicating with Heaven his hand held high. When he was ready, he said to Leo,

“Close your eyes and prepare. I am going to offer you blessings to help to clear those blockages. Relax.”

“Relax!”

Thought Leo.

“Relax? You’ve got to be kidding.”

But he tried anyway, loosening his muscles with a conscious effort and doing his deep breathing.

The teacher stood a little while longer, then brought his hand down and cried,

“Ah yaaaaaaaa!”

The powerful sound of his voice reverberated through the great hall like the vibrations of a huge gong. That sound hung in the air, vibrating with frequency and light.

Leo’s vertical leap took him a full three inches off of Kathy’s arm. His head exploded with thousands of colors of all the light there was in the Universe. His consciousness went out to the stars and back again.

All the people in the room gave a great sigh, and waited.

The Master said,

“Great darkness has been removed. It didn’t want to go, Leo, and there is great conflict right now in Heaven. You must give thanks to the noble souls who are working for your release. You absolutely must learn to do deep forgiveness practice, and keep on doing it. Will you do that?”

Leo, deeply moved and shaken at all levels, did three little pushups in agreement. The teacher nodded, satisfied.

“I will now offer further blessings for your protection, and your enlightenment process so that you can move into a new experience of awareness and service.”

Three more times came the great ringing affirmation,

“Ah Yaaaaaaaaa!”

and the explosions of light. Leo felt and saw every cell of his body awake and radiant, his mind seemed as big as the planet earth. Bigger. He actually saw great crowds of people, people he had caused so much pain, starting to move away, liberated.

At last the Master came and stood before Leo and Kathy, his shining face filled with kindness and love. He said,

“I see that in your next life experience you will most likely come in human form. You must do your part Leo, and make no mistake, there will be obstacles and difficulties. There always are, for everyone. Your human friend will help you.”

He looked at Kathy, who nodded.

“Yes. Of course I will.”

The great teacher paused a moment, and then said,

“I will offer one more blessing, for you and your Kathy both. I will give you a blessing for an courageous Heart. It can be your strength during difficulties. Don’t be afraid of difficulties Leo, they strengthen your spirit. When you pass through difficulties with an unshakable heart, Heaven sees, and takes you to the next level. Everything you do or think or say is heard and recorded, remember that.”

This time there was no resounding call, the Master placed his hands gently on Kathy and Leo’s heads, and stood silent as a different light and energy passed to them, and to every soul in the room. The hall seemed to shimmer with the clearest, most beautiful red light. Heart light.

Leo felt and saw his heart as not a heart, but a living being of the purest love. It was smiling at him, so happy and relieved! He was past any reaction that made any sense, he basked in the light and the exultant love as long as he could.

The Master smiled too, and took his hands away.

“It has been my honor to serve you both. Please try not to create new negativities. Important.”

He turned to Kathy and said,

“Is there anything you would like to share?”

She was handed a microphone and stood facing the people in the hall.

T​ears poured down her face, but she smiled and said,

“I am so deeply thankful. Thank you, thank you. I didn’t know what would come of bringing Leo, here, I hoped you could help him. This was far beyond what I had hoped and imagined. There are so many words, it’s like they are stuck, dammed up in me somewhere.”

The teacher smiled wryly and said,

“That’s all right. No speech is just fine.”

Kathy got down to her knees and carefully holding Leo in her hand, bowed her head to the floor.

She whispered,

“Bow down Leo.”

Leo climbed off her hand and tried to do what she was doing, closing his eyes and lying flat on the surface of the stage. There was an absolute vibrant silence in the room, but Leo didn’t care about that. He really meant it. He didn’t want the moment to end.

Kathy picked him up and stood before the Master for one last moment in this close presence. Leo raised and lowered his foot against her hand repeatedly, in a tapping movement. She looked down in surprise, and saw that he moved his eyes back and forth from her to the teacher.

“I’m not sure, teacher, but I think Leo wants to say something too.”

The Master smiled and came close to Leo, he was not in the least surprised.

Leo gathered all his mental powers, all the pent up emotion and gratitude within him, and said in his mind the only thing that mattered to him now,

“I love you. I love you! I love you.”

The Master tilted his head, touched.

“Oh. Thank you Leo. I love you too. And remember, Divine Love heals and transforms. In dark moments, in times of sickness and pain, bring Love. It is the greatest power.”

There were sounds of approval and joy, and the crowd of people stood and clapped and hollered and clapped some more.

There was more to the evening, more teaching, more blessings, but Leo didn’t pay a lot of attention. The great light in his heart held him fascinated, with his attention inward.

“What a night”

he thought,

“What a night.”

He actually felt himself nodding off, overcome with the events of the day. But before his eyes closed he glanced back at the stage and thought he saw a golden shadow, an enormous being at the back of the stage.

He dimly heard the voice of the Divine…

“Good work Leo. Well done.”
