The Way Of The Rake
Many years ago in the southern regions of a land far away lived a man by the name of Hewko. A poor man by providential state but rich in Mind, Body and Spirit.
Holistic Center
"Relationships" he would say, "are the true paths to wealth of soul, peace of mind and condition of body".
And,
"Relaxation is not for pillows as pillows are not for the relaxed"!
Many seemingly wise and yet puzzling things he did say. . . Leaving the disciples who sought him no supplementary along in wisdom than before. No more peace of mind than a rabbit in the wild afraid to venture out of its hole for fear of being eaten. No less confused and no more focused on their self imposed task because they failed to act.
But they sought him out all the same as all seekers must seek man other than themselves to "show" them "the way"!
The way of 'The Rake' clears all pathways that are unclear due to the fallen leaves of time
And what of you dear reader. . . Do you also seek the spiritual curative that comes with the words of the Great Sage Hewko? Be of good cheer- the hidden lies in the essence and foundation of The Rake! "The Way of the Rake", as Hewko would say, "clears all pathways that are unclear due to the fallen leaves of time"; and I will share with you in a very few words the philosophy of The Rake and how you can apply it this very day with no supplementary delay of peace to mind, depth to soul and life to body.
"Just as the pathway of the forest is obscured by the leaves that fall there on. . . So also our minds are unclear by the task that fall upon our minds". Too much technology, too many business opportunities, too many bills to pay and just too many places to be and things to do. We are overwhelmed, our minds are cluttered, we do not exercise, we do not sleep. . . We know what we must do but do not!
Meditation is a straw that eludes the grasp; yoga is an exercise of mind and body that does not all the time satisfy; crystals are debated, set on shelves and forgotten; and when feeling sluggish approved treatment offers no cure- we seek "holistic" and/or "alternative medicines only to find more "alternatives" to the "alternatives"! Hewko would not deny all of the above as potential curative sources of mind, body and spirit. . . But one must first found the discipline of The Rake!
The Mind Body Spirit relationship is Earth connected. . .
All religions teach the significance of the Spirit Earth connection. The Bible says in the creation story of Genesis, "with labor and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life". Man continually shirks his duty as "husband" of the land and wonders why he feels so lethargic. The sowing and reaping of years gone by is more and more distant from the lives of modern man. Hewko says, "Reach into the soil of your own backyard and grow something"!
The Way of the Rake is nothing more than the rake you can buy at the local hardware store. . . Take rake in hand and touch the Earth! Mind, Body and Spirit unite in that one easy action and you are centered, balanced and whole. The rake is literal but only part of it. Cultivate the earth, plant the seed and help it grow! The law of sowing and reaping has all the time been taught since the starting of time straight through the planting of seed and is the foundation for all business and romance.
If you are unable to find your way straight through religion. . . Rake! If you are unable to quite the mind. . . Rake! If you are overwhelmed with bills, business and the cares of this world. . . Rake!
Unplug from Tv and computer, go exterior and touch the Earth. Today's modern man allocates these basic life giving energies to other men who regard these God given privileges as nothing more than a 9 - 5 J.O.B. How can we be sure our Mind, Body and Spiritual sufferings are nothing more than self imposed when we go for months and, for some, years without rolling in the hay?
The man of religious conviction who studies the Bible and yet avoids his "curse" can no more expect God to riposte his prayers than he can expect tomatoes to grow where he has not ready the soil. Back to the land should be our motto. Home grown should be the article given the vegetables on our table. And the law of sowing and reaping should be the first law written on our hearts. . . Mind, Body and Spirit begins where the salad grows.
Hewko's Final Words
"Clear the leaves from the path of your mind with The Rake! Touch the Earth and the Earth will touch you. When we Rake we use the Mind, we use the Body and we find our Spirit whole".
