Okay, this next installment deals with my visit on Sunday morning to the Golden Gate Spiritualist Church with my hosts. This might lead to so eye rolling in some quarters, that is okay. Remember, this is an attempt, like all religion, to bridge that gap betwixt what we know and what we try to believe:
And so I shall. The space betwixt what we know and what we try to believe has a name: Faith.
Truman, my friend,
I am well aware of the invisible spiritual world around us. In fact, in 1976, the year after I was 'born again' I, for all practical purposes,
demanded to have a VISION! And did I ever~! There is so much going on around us that we are unaware AND THAT IS GOOD because it would drive anyone absolutely
INSANE if we were made sensitive to it, like I was briefly, when I demanded the vision. The room became full of hundreds of points of light and dozens of points of note - but they were black. They were all revolving around me and it absolutely scared the SHIT out of me. I begged it to stop. My girlFriend at the time arrived and I pleaded with her to remove me from my apartment. She did and behold, all was quiet outside. I learned a lot from the experience even though I am eons away from where I was spiritually at that time. There are many 'invisible' sentient beings, creations like we are, and all with free will. I would assume that the medium would have picked one of these as a Spirit Guide since they are way above us spiritually - you said vibrating at a higher plane and that pretty much goes along with what I beheld way back then. I still see 'ministering spirits' - points of light that I have been aware of since that time that I asked for a 'vision'. I know these PERSONALLY because two of them entered my body
from the back of my head to comfort me when my body was 'dying' in August. I felt them travel down into my body and my muscles relaxed. I was grateful for the help! I just want to add a point to ponder...
One thing about these beings, they are
not all
friendly. One of them 'lead me on' earlier in the '70s when I was really into the occult and absolutely screwed me over after I trusted it. (I was 'told' that I would have a Wonderful Day so even though there was an intense lightning & thunderstorm outside, I decided to watch my brand new TV.) Lightning struck nearby and absolutely
FRIED that TV set. I was so pissed at the time. Now, in retrospect, I'm glad it happened... because it kind of 'stopped me in my tracks' from a spiritual standpoint. I now feel that the 'black' points that I beheld back in '76 were not friendly.
So, if I were you, I would just 'ask for protection' from whoever you consider as the Creator of all that is and it WILL be granted. On a similar note, my dead mother, who died right in front of me with a lot of 'unfinished business between us' was hovering around me so intensely the week of August 6th (before my near-death experiences) that I asked the One Who IS to STOP it! And it did. Later, after the near-death experiences, she and I had a spiritual reconciliation that still fills me with awe. September 22nd is the 19th anniversary of her death. We're friends now. (It's also the Jewish Day of Atonement.)
So, what do you think of that?
