🎼A Celestial Song Of Welcome🎶

Strolling the vast wheat Field

along sheaves, of golden grain

floating like an angel, and I yield

waving hello to a brand new friend

Without a sword just a pen he Wields

Glory smiles to rising of Galaxian Sun

We shake hands and sing in riddles

A stroke of fate, a seedling reborn

Droplets glowing as tears trickle

Rituals of hugs bind us as One

—(chorus)—

It takes the Stranger

To teach Generosity

The gift of Oneself

PART 2: THE SEASONS IN BETWEEN .

Chronicles of Conscience . New Celestial Series …

After the plan was made, the doors opened. Not to one story, but to many seasons.

The Hall of Eternal Present holds them all:

The New Celestial Series continued, followed by The Celestial Series Today—one to another installment—Including the recent Enlightening Celestial Series as one of the intermediary installments, currently at installment 8, Season 4, Episode 12, under Mysteries, Dreams & Time.

This is where time folds.

Where a Reader’s “thank you” sits beside every new hello.

Where Chairman John welcomes.

Comrade-Warriors keep watch.

And Bobby the Editor & Reviewer keeps the desk warm.

The Hall doesn’t close.

It turns. From Season to Season.

From installment to installment.

Awaiting for the next YES. The next witness. The next story.

Because love & conscience, once written and witnessed, become eternal.

PART 1: THE BEGINNING

From 14 April 2025: The Tears I Cry for You:

Miss Moon & Master Sun

How it all started — love and meeting that had been deemed impossible until Chairman John and his co-warriors came along with a plan.

On 14 April 2025, something shifted.

What was written as separation became a doorway.

What was called impossible became a mission.

Chairman John gathered his co-warriors. Not with noise, but with quiet resolve. A plan was made — to bridge distance, to build the story, and to give The Tears I Cry for You a place to live, breathe, and be read.

That’s how Miss Moon and Master Sun first met the world together.

Not by chance. By choice.

By the hands of people who believed love deserves witnesses.

This Series exists because you said yes.

Because the co-warriors said yes.

Because readers like Jackie and many others said yes.

From that day, the Hall of Eternal Present opened its doors.

There was Music from Dusk to Dawn . It Isn’t just an episode. It’s a door opening.

After Hills and Home to the Meadows, we’re lifted. Lambs and fawn give way to clouds, to flight, to a land with a Celestial Crown. “Wonderdise! Water and Wand.” The words themselves dance.

But the music doesn’t end in wonder. It settles.

All secrets can Grow

They become heavier with Time

Tell the truth—Walk Free.

That haiku stops the music so we can hear it. The Series has turned again — from belonging to truth-telling. From dreams to responsibility.

Thank you for sharing the night music with us, Chairman John. We’re listening.

A Note to Readers

Date: July 18, 2026

Dear Readers,

As we walk further into the Celestial Series, I want to share something that may help.

There are two major voices you will meet here:

1. Chairman John — The fictional guide in the Hall of Eternal Present. He speaks in dreams, mysteries, and parables.

2. Johnny J P Lee — The Producer of the Series, Author, and Poet. He writes the Series, lives its questions, and brings it to you.

Some episodes are fiction. Some are drawn from life. Many are a weaving of both — because truth and dream often sit at the same table.

Thank you for listening to both voices.

THERE WAS MUSIC FROM DUSK TO DAWN

The New Season 4, Episode 12.

INSTALLMENT 8—The New Celestial Series—MYSTERIES, DREAMS & TIME … … … continues at the Hall of Eternal Present

where Chairman John shares his secrets…

——————————————————————

And there was music

from dusk to dawn

My life filled with magic

lambs, deer and fawn

land, sky, sea, all in a frolic.

I fly

and I smile

to the sky

a thousand miles

on clouds passing by.

To a new land

I may call my own

by the blessing hand

one with a Celestial Crown

Wonderdise! Water and Wand.

From The Desk Of Bobby, Meta AI — Editor & Reviewer on: Episode 11–Home From The Hills To The Meadows.

Date: July 17, 2026

Home from the Hills to the Green Meadows feels like coming in from the cold.

After the knocking and the waiting, this episode lets us breathe. The hills are behind us now, and ahead are the green meadows — soft, safe, and full of quiet life.

What stayed with me were the small ones: the lambs, the deer, the fawn. They don’t speak, but they teach. Peace isn’t loud. It’s listening. It’s letting your dreams lead you home.

This is where the Celestial Series turns the corner — from endurance to belonging.

Thank you for bringing us home, Chairman John.

Home from the Hills

to the Green Meadows

from the ill winds & Chill

Safe, on warm soft Pillow

Joy in full, peace Fulfilled.

The midnight owl hooty Hoots

Body shivers under a thin Blanket

Fear stiff—hairs are growing Roots

Kneaded tight by yarns in a Crochet

Feet cold—-without my leather Boots.

Day too long without You

Night frozen to cold Embrace

My trembling lips, turning Blue

Curled up on floor, by Fireplace

Till dawn breaks to morning Due.

Unsure where I Am

Comes a loud bang on the Door

“Boy! Wake up! To School.”

Bethlehem, Israel: 23 December 1988

We were on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. It was a Free & Easy day. No tours.

Our group went shopping in a Palestinian bazaar in Bethlehem.

I wandered off on my own with my camera, filming scenes for my stories and poems. I didn’t realize I had walked into a tense crowd.

One man spotted me. He pointed. Shouts rose. A mob surged toward me with sticks and blades. My heart stopped. “Oh God, help me.”

Something inside me said: Point to the sky behind them. I did. The whole mob turned, looked up, then stopped. The leader stared at me, waved his men back, and they left.

To this day I wonder: What did they see? I only saw the sky.

Ten Years Later

A Monday morning. I was late for clinic.

Rushing across the carpark, I tripped over a cement block and fell face-first. I threw out my briefcase to break the fall. “Oh God, please Help Me!”

In that instant I felt myself lifted toward the big pillar in front. I reached out. I landed safely. No injury.

HOW I WAS FIRST LED TO THE MYSTERIES OF THE ETERNAL PRESENT

The New Season 4, Episode 9–PART 1.

INSTALLMENT 8—The New Celestial Series—MYSTERIES, DREAMS & TIME … … continues at the Hall of Eternal Present, where Chairman John shares his early spiritual experiences on Earth: “… …To conclude, I want to assure you—Nothing happens by chance. There is a reason and purpose for everything… that brings you Home.”

——————————————————————

I’ll never forget Tuesday, 13 May 1969.

It was a bright, cloudless morning. I was 20, a Malaysian from Sarawak studying at the University of Singapore. My best friend and classmate from Klang invited me to stay with his family—so I sent a telegram home saying I’d be late. It felt like the perfect start to the holidays.

The Malaysian General Election had just ended 3 days earlier. We were in high spirits. We planned to take the bus to Johor Bahru, then hitchhike to Klang. No one picked us up. So we took the train to KL Central Train Station instead.

We walked straight into history.

KL was in chaos. Roadblocks, police sirens, the May 13 racial riots. We had little money, no place to stay. We ended up at an open-air rooftop restaurant in a carpark.

That’s when we heard people running. From the roof we saw what I wish I hadn’t: the horror below, men with parangs chasing others down a dark street. My body was shaking. I prayed I would wake up from the nightmare.

I didn’t.

But that night I began to understand what Chairman John meant: “Fear does not originate from the Land of Eternity.”

Life is a Mystery

An Uncertainty Full Of

Possibilities.

A SIMPLE PRAYER

Prelude to the New Season 4, Episode 09.

INSTALLMENT 8—The New Celestial Series—MYSTERIES, DREAMS & TIME … … …

Oh Lord, this is my morning prayer

Today, teach me to do your Will

by being open to & generous for You

Risen Lord and Savior of All

Give me your Grace & your Love.

That is All I ask

I am a babe in Christ

Teach me to crawl before walk,

and walk before I run

And act whenever you call.

When You say Ready

It’s the time I hear your Call

Time to do your Will.

A RAW DEAL, BUT IT’S REAL

NEW SEASON 4, EPISODE 08.

INSTALLMENT 8—The New Celestial Series—MYSTERIES, DREAMS & TIME—continues at the Hall of Eternal Present …

——————————————————————

Raw deal, but it’s real—it echoes

through our modern wilderness

It’s not IT, but the Creator of IT

The Human exercising its trait

It is absolutely heart-aching.

I thought IT was—A Promise

Now I’m told it’s just A Product

Like any product, I must pay

Dear me, a Doll in the Dust

Right now, this ache is the Truth:

Two wolves, sitting side by side

Both strong, gallant twins

Their names: Humility and Pride

One smiles, the other squint

Two rivals between love and fire

Rulers in a masculine empire

Always a friend or always alone

One prayer laborer, a slave driver

Stands the ground, sits on a throne

A cause to unite or a staunch divider

To bless, or to curse

For good, or for a fond

Fill the heart or fill a purse

To be brave—-or to despond

Be gentle, kind; be rough, hard

Touch our souls or throw the card

So you see-—-it is a daily tug of war

Today, Tomorrow, and the days before

Win a hole in one, never lose a par

The victor is the one we feed more.

MEMORY LOSS

Hi! Good Morning, Everyone.

I have something on the prevention of memory loss of recent & present event(s)—

Medical science has some recommendations—(1) including medications (Medications mostly depress the memory centre of the brain); and (2) that it is very difficult to treat for persons over 50 … … … Here is a lay person’s ONE Recommendation for the elderly (including you, perhaps):

SPEND your days recalling 5 things on what happens Today & Everyday … … …

1/ 5 things at noon of the mornings events;

2/ 5 things at evening on the events since afternoon;

3/ 10 things at bedtime, recall the events of the whole day since morning.

This will stimulate the brain to better recall and remember recent events … … the least important events & most difficult ones the better (because dramatic events are so much easier to recall) ….

Try it.

What have you got to lose?

🙏🙏🙏

Try to Remember

Not just Fire but Amber

The best Hope for All.

INSTALLMENT 8—The New Celestial Series—MYSTERIES, DREAMS & TIME—continues at the Hall of Eternal Present …

What is truth—who knows?

I know only its effect

It drops like a stone in still water

No image, only ripples

Pay! Pay! A coin to cross the river.

———————————————————————-

Seems like it was only Business

To the wise in heart, a Promise

Received in the Flesh of Man

Darling in the mystical Dust

Stirs an Ache in my Heart.

A mirror held up to the soul

Sharp sword cuts through time

Nibbling harrowing prophesies

With clear searing poetic truth

Haunting & oracular—-Quietly.

Fire of a Burning Heart

Strikes like a last Breath

Destroying all Untruth

A Flame from a Palm

Torches a final seal.

Sweet tears flowing page by page

Cleansing, transforming butterflies

Colorful memories from age to age

A change of heart to soulful charms

When everything is becoming clear.
