Immersed in The Power of Light and More

Many might say my experience could be explained by the complex signals being transmitted across the synapses in my brain. I agree that my brain was involved, however I believe it goes a bit further, in fact much further than that.

I consider my experience to be spiritual and can say with full recollection and clarity after almost 25 years, it was a life changing experience.

I will preempt the rest of my story by saying that I have not always followed the direction, the wisdom and peaceful state that I experienced in this "dream state" Even though I am aware of how wonderful it is to dwell in this "powerful love of light" ( I will call it), I have made some choices that are contrary to peaceful living in this light.

Something that remains a sort of paradox for me, is my sometimes obvious contradictions, to what I know to be true and best for my life.

I am a human being. Normal in most ways. I only claim to have been graced by an extraordinary experience. I trust you identify with this experience and in some ways draw comfort or strength from it.

About 25 years ago during a night of slumber, I found myself floating in air, drifting downward slowly. I recognized the form of a man who I assumed to be Jesus. In my mind and belief Jesus represents or embodies the essence of my experience. While I feel I have a deep kinship to Jesus, I do not limit my belief to fundamental christian views or attribute the power of the experience exclusively to Jesus. I believe the essence of creative life takes any and all forms. And truth may be found in all religions. In the dream it appeared to be Jesus.

As, I floated closer to this man, I suddenly entered into his body through the head. His face became my face and I could see outward through his eyes. More than just sight, my face was flooded with light. It's as if my vision was carried on waves of light energy and everything perceived outside of me was clothed in this light. For a moment I simply rested, amazed and curiously wondering what this might be. Then suddenly the intensity of the light force increased at least tens times. Climbing rapidly in levels of succession, until a non violent explosion of energy projected me out of the body. I floated gently down to the ground. I was aware of others around me, going about their normal business. At some point after this, I was transformed into a state that words simply can't describe. But I will try. The only way my human mind knows to describe it, was that I was in a state of total contentment. There was no trace, either in thought or in physical form, of want, need, lack or desire. The presence was light, but it was also varying shades of bronze (and other colors of energy, for which I have no name) These essences of energy were all around me and in me. I was immersed in this essence. I was this essence.

This dream, experience or whatever you may wish to call it, was real to me. No matter what anyone tries to say to the contrary, as I sit here writing this, I am aware, conscious of this powerful force and peaceful, all encompassing awareness of light and love. It is in me, around me and I am confident I can transmit it through thought and prayer.

So this was and is my experience. As I said before, I do not claim any special state of enlightenment. I only know, what I have experienced and what continues to have a profound impact in my life.

I understand all too well the darkness that may befall the human soul, I have walked in this darkness and by grace been delivered from it.

My prayers are for all to know this light and become the essence of love.

Be well and at peace
