The Fish, The Pelican, and The Nature of RealityBy Matthew Joycehttp://higherselfguides.com/free-articles/armchair-reading/Once there was a little fish who lived in the sea. It swam with agreat school of other fishes, living, loving, and learning in aseemingly endless expanse that provided for its every need.The fish was happy enough. But sometimes it struggled to find foodand always it swam in fear of bigger fish—or worse the white-wingedcreatures that plunged down upon members of its school when theyleast expected it. For this reason the school of fishes swam closetogether, mirroring each other's movements and not daring toventure off on their own.But even the safety of numbers was not always enough.Such was the case one afternoon when the school swam about in theshallows where food was plentiful.Without warning, silver streaks of bubbles and birds darted intothe center of the school of fishes. The fishes scattered away. Butthe little fish was not so lucky.A pelican's beak gripped it firmly around its middle. Escape wasimpossible."Please!" cried the little fish. "Have pity and release me!""Indeed," said the pelican, clamping even tighter onto the fish.With a powerful thrust of its wings the pelican stroked upwardtoward the surface.As the silvery mirrored surface raced ever closer, fears of deathswam before the fish's eyes. Soon the little fish saw its ownfrightened reflection, as well as the reflection of thewhite-winged angel of death bearing it to its doom.Then, in an explosion of liquid light, the barrier shattered andthe little fish was surrounded in radiant light more brilliant thanit could have ever imagined. It gasped for breath in a breathlessworld and marveled as it looked down upon the receding watery realmthat it knew as home."Climb inside my gullet where you will be safe," said the pelicanas it released its hold on the fish.Too shocked to struggle, the fish complied and discovered it couldbreathe comfortably while observing this miraculous new world. Asthe fish looked about, it saw white-winged creatures soaring oninvisible currents between the roiling blue of its home below andan infinite blue stillness above.It saw white ships hauling in nets filled with fishes. It saw puffywhite shapes billowing and floating on the horizon, and in thedistance it saw a beach of sand that glistened like diamonds in theradiant sunlight.Filled with awe at this new world, the fish had no words—and indeedfew concepts—with which to describe it. So the fish remained silentas the pelican wheeled about in the sky and dropped toward thesparkling beach.The bird came in fast and low. Its wing tips hovering just inchesabove the water. And then as the sand rushed beneath its wings thepelican pulled upward, stalled, and dropped onto the shore wheretwo- and four-legged creatures lazed and frolicked about.Finding words at last the fish said, "This is truly another world.""Now that you know it exists, it is time for you to return home,"said the pelican. With a mighty flap of its wings it leapt from thebeach and returned to the invisible currents of the air.As they climbed to the heights once more, the fish said, "I had noidea any of this existed. I was so afraid.""Now you are truly free," said the pelican."How can I ever thank you?" asked the fish."No thanks is required," answered the pelican. "But havingexperienced this greater reality, it becomes your task to share itwith others of your kind that they too may know this freedom.""And how do I do that?" asked the fish."That is not for me say. Each must figure that out on our own.That's what keeps the message alive," said the pelican as it begana graceful descent toward the ceaseless waves below.As the fish neared the froth and foam of its former existence itgazed about in profound silence, striving to capture and retain itsimpressions of this greater reality. Then with a simple splash thefish plunged back into a sea of shocking density and limitedperspective.It gaped and gasped as the sea flowed through its gills once more.For a few moments it lingered there beside that mirrored surface,looking at its own reflection and knowing that so much more awaitsbeyond that translucent transition zone.Then with a flick of its tail the fish swam for the depths to findits school and begin its new task.Upon the fish's return, its friends marveled. "You're alive!" theycried. "We thought you were dead.""So did I for while," said the little fish. "But I survived and I'vecome back with a message of a greater reality that awaits youif only you have courage to seek it."The other fishes listened with polite interest as the little fishtold of the white-winged angels that soar in the invisible realmbetween the ceaseless blue below and silent blue above. Theynodded as the fish told of the boats, clouds, people, and dogs thatit had seen. But most of the fishes found the story difficult tobelieve."The sea is all there is," they said. "And we are masters of it. Wecan go anywhere we please.""Indeed you can," said the little fish. "And much farther than youever dreamed. All it takes is a flick of your tail to break thatmirrored surface and you can experience the greater reality beyond.""This is enough for us," said the school of fishes as they swam away.As the little fish watched them leave it felt that it had failed in itstask. But then it heard a small voice at its side."I want to learn," said a young fish."Me too," said another.And so began the teaching of the fish, the pelican, and the greaterreality.Are you ready to explore a greater reality?
