| Subj: The young man who travelled to find Gloo |
2f35cf63 XPost: alt.arts.storytelling, alt.folklore, alt.mythology XPost: hfx.general, nb.general From: dalton@nfld.com I have previously said on at least some of these groups that I believe that Glooskap was once human and was similar to those such as Buddha, Krishna, Moses, and Jesus, though he did not have the common seven years of low years but rather fourteen years, as did Jacob and Rama. I also said that his primary siddhi was probably weatherworking, not healing as in the case of Jesus. Now some time ago on CBC Radio One I heard a MI€€€kmaq story which I think was about an endless winter, and a young man who had to travel seven years to get to Glooskap and seven years back, and he had to do it twice, for a total of 28 years. But I have divined that no human had low years of more than 14 years, and there was only one cetacean, a humpback whale of about 4000 years ago, who had low years of 18 years. But now my own low/working/uncreative years, which began on January 29, 1996, round up to 28 years, so it could be that that story predicted me. :-) I have previously emailed Mi€€€sel Joe about Glooskap, but in my second email I said I wouldn€€€t email him again unless he had questions for me, so I won€€€t. For my recent and ongoing progress see alt.religion.druid . I had said I would give up until January 29, 2025, but given the situation in the Middle East I need to at least try my global new age onset workings one more time.
