The First Myth of the Rock PeopleLong ago before Man and his Ameriginal and Aboriginal tribes existed, there were the Rock people of the original earth. As the story of the Rock Legend goes, even if it is only a myth, this is also a true story.
The underworld was a hidden world. Here once were the rock people that lived below the sun and sky. For within the rocks was spirit, and within the Earth, was Soul. The rock people had a very happy civilization, for it was a time long past but also a long time in coming. While the Rockers lived, and flourished, they lived of a paradise on Earth. When the time came, the volcanic rocks had risen up into the sky as mountains, and the great rivers of lava built the land. The rock people survived of the living fire and earth that made them. It was then only the dead rock was above ground in the open air, but the living rock was alive, and the rockers still had not gone underground.
Long after the world had been first made, the Rock of Ages had been born. The story comes to us from this ancient Rock, still living today. It had been a Star Rock, like the planets that were formed of the light and elements, to become rocks in space orbiting the sun. The hard rock survives in time and is still within the earth, but at first it was only the molten base, with a life force we can say that still keeps the earth alive.
It was during a meteor storm about a 100 years ago that a large ball of rock came down from space, and exploded, extinguished by the heat, or splitting into fragmented pieces in the air above the earth. It sent out a wave of sound that cut through trees and made the ground split apart. As the shards of the meteor split, one landed near the ancient rock, the rock of ages laying alone in the Siberian tundra. It was at this time an open faced rock, and it had known all the ancient stories of the earth. It knew about the legend of Rock, and the Sound of forever.
The Rock of Ages was the first storyteller. The big rock instructed the space rock about the Earth and its ancient history, and told of the rock people who once lived so well. It knew that all that was here had come from someplace else, either of the soul that was of heaven, or of elements that were of the universe. It also knew it was just such a meteor that once landed and caused the rocks to be buried alive. It had been in his time and under the world that the rock people were always in communication. They spoke to each other through vibration, just like music, and it was through the sound of the Earth that they first heard and knew of Soul. The Rock knew the sound of the first Spirit, the principle that animated the first life on earth, and all the earth that was unified in this belief.
The living Rock produced sound and learned to make music, the first principle form of communication. It would follow through millenia that the great legends of Rock were formed. These most famous rockers lived as the legends of rock, such as Crock Berry, Elvis Pressure, Jimi Hendrocks, and Mick Jagged. There was always in each time a rocker that would became rock ruler of the world.
The Rock tradition continued on. In each year, they presented the music in the great cave underground ampitheatre where rock music originated. Each had found his year of greatness, by winning the yearly battle of the bands. For the soul of rock and roll was indeed the true soul of earth that was also to become the residence for the first living soul in man.
So it was, for centuries, until the time when the rocks would indeed be rocked in the next great earth Cataclysm. This was some 500,000 years ago. It was also the time when the great STAR ROCK fell, and the living monsters above and below land feared their own end. The Rockers and the Beasts had lived pretty much in their separate ways. When the meteor came, the great dust cloud hid the sun, and all living life died. The rockers lived on, only now the living rocks lived underground, and only knew the great music within. It was then the Soul of the rhythm of the Earth lived within the Earth.
This was all in preparation for the new life, coming into the world as Man, up until this modern day. Even as the Soul of the legends lives in the Soul of man, who was reborn in living body, but would not know this great secret. Each of us holds this Soul, and can realize in the inner music that the great sound is within us, and is the life of the living spirit. This, the rock of ages knew, can also set each of us free. This spirit lives in man today, unseen, unknown, just as the rock legends who once passed. The storyteller sent this message to the Space Rock, but he was also telling the story to all of man.
The true history of those final days was written in that ancient time. The trees and rock record the tales. Today the living rocker knows the living rock and roll. Not that it is the one music of the spirit, but it is what the human being understands of it, and what makes them feel the music, and dance in their spirit. This then is the story of the well of man, from those days to today, when each of us is once again reborn. we may know the true heritage, and return to the original spirit, within the sound and light that makes the world, and this is of the spirit that is that one in all life.
