Hey guys,

knowledge and advice required. I arrived home yeserday (Friday the 13th, coincidentally) to find a large white stone sitting in the centre of our front doorstep. It looked as though it had been very carefully placed.

I'm a little bamboozled. Does anyone know whether there would be any significance for this in some kind of ritual (eg cleansing ritual or blessing)? Or am I just imagining things?

It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.

What this calls for is a special mix of psychology and extreme violence...

"To him that overcometh will I give of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it" (Rev 2:17).



In Revelation, a symbolic record of John's initiation, the white stone is the new, pure, inner psychological vehicle in the person which the spirit within him is enabled to acquire and work through when the victory in initiation has been won; and the new name signifies the new self which has thus become manifest in him.



The stone "had the word prize engraved on it, and was the symbol of that word given to the neophyte who, in his initiation, had successfully passed through all the trials in the Mysteries. It was the potent white cornelian of the mediaeval Rosicrucians, who took it from the Gnostics" (TG 369)"





That's just one interpretation I found, I'm sure other people will have different meanings though. shrug

lol!!!

I did speculate that it may have been thrown at the door and landed on the front step, but it just seemed so carefully placed.

Believe it or not, it is not the weirdest thing we have had left in our front yard. One day we had a stack of about 5 caps (the kind you wear on your head) left on our gatepost. Another time we were left two tshirts, just sitting in the middle of our front garden. hehe

I think it is a good something, as I agree about the white symbol of purity, and I hope it is not about death. I am very intrigued.

All good suggestions. I should pass this on, even if it is a birthday gift, someone messing with my mind, or even just me messing with my own mind!!

I wish I had thought to do the same with the tshirts.

hug to all.

Yeah, pass it on! You could see how far the stone eventually travels from doorstep to doorstep...

You'd need to write a website on it or something so people could log it when it gets left ob their doorstep

I was given one in Synapore airport, hid it in Thailand - although I guess I hid it too well. Unless you knew where it was you would have a chance of finding it.

Anyone heading to Ko Phi Phi in Thailand?

Think it was called Tales From a Small Island (Bill Bryson). Didn't actually think too much of it ...

it's an alien rock from another world, it sent the caps and t-shirts in advance so that it could come and stay with you, and you wouldn't have to lend it any clothes.... umm

I read a book once where the author had had a nice conversation with a rock in arizona, apparently they are quite talkative... if you are a hippy of the 1970s persuasion with the ability to communicate with mother nature...

but this is all quite off topic....

i agree, pass it on biggrin
