Faith At The Cemetery

Faith at the cemetery

I’ve got a very touching and spiritual story for you here. At least it is for me. Obviously, I have been grieving deeply over the recent loss of my beloved, Melissa Mari. Every day has been a trip, but on Saturday I decided I needed to take a drive out to Wimberley, Texas, a little arty tourist town that we used to visit occasionally. The main thing that we did there was to walk on the trail by the Cypress Creek.

I had actually gone out there the prior weekend to try to connect back with some memories but I didn’t go down to the creek. This Saturday I tried it again because frankly around here in Austin Texas, I have had a hard time finding serene unpopulated nature spots within reasonable driving distance. We were truly blessed in this regard back in California.

Anyway, I don’t know why but I decided to try it again and this time I went down to the creek. I walked on the same path but this time I explored further than I ever had before. The path ended at a paved a road and I decided to walk up that road to see what I might find. Turns out, it connected into a different park that I didn’t know about and right there was a very large cemetery.

The cemetery was totally empty. It was very calming actually to walk around there and like the town, the cemetery had a lot of arty variety in the way families had set up the graves of their loved ones. I was thinking to myself that it would actually be nice to have a gravestone and plot for Melissa’s ashes because it can be a sacred spot where family can visit and connect back to her spirit. Melissa wanted to be cremated and her ashes thrown to the ocean in Bolinas, Ca., which we will do, but I was thinking about this as I walked around.

On my way out, I looked to my left and saw a family headstone with the name or word JOY on it. Then directly behind that plot I saw a beautiful white statue of a goddess. I immediately thought that she looked like Melissa in our music video for the song Let it Go (which I will post below). I walked over there to inspect and was taken aback by the spirit of the statue. She was looking upwards to heaven and posed as if she was being lifted up and the look on her face was of course, joy.

But then I looked down to her feet and saw that there was a stone with the word or name FAITH engraved in it. And this totally shocked me. The reason is because Faith was Melissa’s spiritual name. I was Will and she was Faith. When we first got together in 2012 and we were downloading all the gnosis that went into Shadow Tech, we developed a philosophical idea with these two motifs. Then we started working on “the story of Will and Faith” and gave ourselves these spiritual names.

I reached into my wallet and pulled out Melissa's music business card and left it there next to the Faith “stone”. By the way, there is another alchemical symbol. Of course I realize what the Christian idea of “faith” often means, and that’s related, but this was a very personal message for me.

This all just floored me. The entire synchronistic and uncanny nature of finding this Faith goddess, dressed like Melissa in our video was just too much. But also, the lyrics for Let it Go were supposed to be about letting go of the “pain body”. The song was originally called Letting Go of the Program. This was one of her prime missions. But now I can see that Let it Go had another deeper meaning. It was saying, “let go of this body to move on to the next phase of spiritual development on your soul path”.

I feel as though this scene in my movie of life is incredibly sacred and cannot be explained in a rational way. It does feel as though her spirit was involved in this. Also, I now have a local physical place where I can go to visit with her when I want to. Yes, it's in some other family’s grave plot, but that doesn’t matter. Faith has no boundaries.

Here is the YouTube and Facebook versions of the video for Let it Go where you can see Melissa as Faith.
