Gunung Emas

R, M and myself drove up to Gunung Emas (Emas Mountain) in one late afternoon. I had been looking forward to meditate in Gunung Emas ever since R told me that he had meditated there with a friend of his long, long time ago.

The fresh cool air greeted us in Gunung Emas. I was excited to be here after a hectic lifestyle in hot Kota Kinabalu city. Its relaxing and refreshing.

We had our meal that evening in one of the restaurants and chcked in into of of the resort available there. We had our rest before heading out for our midnight meditation.

After Isyak prayer I took a nap and had a bad dream. In the dream I was battling with a jinn, it was like the jinn was in the room, a dark jinn, hanging on the ceiling. I battle it reciting verses from the Quran and throwing energy ball but it moved so quickly and it escaped in the nick of time just before my energy get to him. It was very real but I woke up in the middle of the dream before knowing whether I could vanquish it.

Exactly at 11 pm, we left the comfort of our rooms and headed to Gunung Emas. We went up gunung Emas on foot following the concrete slab and stairs up the mountain. Trees were everywhere and the concrete slab was laid among the trees going up the mountain. Step by step, we carefully place out feet on the concrete slab. It rained before and the slabs were a bit slippery.

There used to be several cabins and tree houses, but now there were no longer operating, ever since the new highway to Keningau via Kimanis was open to the public.

We choose a spot for our meditation. It used to be a place for guests in the cabins to have their BBQ. It had a roof, which was a good thing , as it sheltered us from the the rain, just in case.

We unrolled our plactic sheet and sat down. M was in the middle. I was facing a tree house on the left, M was facing towards the direction where we came from while R was facing the right.

R saw a white lady whith her child coming down from the mountain. She was western, with white hair and very tall about 8 feet tall, may be she was in her mid 30's. And the child age was about 6 months old. She stopped in front of him and looked at R without a word. She wanted help R said, but she didn't say a word. Her eyes were sad. Her face looked sad as if she was being abandoned.

M saw a child about 6 years old, staring at her. She said the child was squatting in front of her and staring at her without a word. The child look curious and wanted to play with her, but the child didn't move and didn't say a word.

While I saw only white energy.

It was a very refreshing and relaxing meditation for the 3 of us. The cool mountain air, with its mist and dews, were washing away our stress. Of all the meditations, this one I enjoyed most.

And not a single mosquitoes to be found.

Around 3.00 am we headed back to our hotel rooms.
