Oglivie Cromby - one of the founders of Findhorn - and he had several encounters with The Gray Man of Ben Macdhui. (Ben Macdhui is actually the name of the summit) Legends describe him as a being of enormous size - so the illustration you included does him little justice - who terrorized climbers approaching the summit. ROC believed him to be what he called a "border being", elementals that were neither good nor evil but with the potential to go either way.<br /><br />During his conversations, which took place while ROC was out of body, GM claimed he was guardian of the summit and that it was his job to chase humans off the mountain. But he frankly admitted that this applied only to some people - those who were sensitive and spiritually minded.<br /><br />As ROC had no fear of the being the conversation was a pleasant one which just goes to show that if you show a little fear they'll definitely run with it, otherwise more likely to leave you alone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05386921585465423221noreply@blogger.com
