Part 1: the Mystery of Dreams
I was awakened from a sound sleep --
the room yet unlit -- sat up on the side
of the bed, more of a spirit sense
of doing so, for there was also a
feeling of body-paralysis. Finding myself
attentive, I was greeted by the
awareness of a being standing before me,
though I cannot describe an actual
face nor sex: "Take this", I was handed
a scarab, clay-type representation. "Eat it!",
I hesitated...but found myself incapable of
refusing. I brought the beetle toward my
mouth, seeming more of essence
rather than actual physical form.
I ingested the object, sort of
an instant inhale, feeling the thing
immediately come alive in my heart-area.
The entity motioned to my high right, a
lighted blurb appeared in the totally
darkened room, that of a biblical
doom-shaped, white building – inside the brilliant
portal beamed a light of intensity I could
not even begin to measure, a brilliant, huge,
golden goblet inside was quite visible, as I rose
up toward it, sort floating, no power
to resist. "Drink". I looked inside
the gleaming vessel, filled with blood
to my horror. I replied, no, I do not want to
do anything wrong or evil. "Drink...it's
Ok". I could not stop, as my head
lowered. Then I awoke, lying in bed,
having never been quite the same since,
moving closer and closer to Christ
awareness, and a sense of mission. Why
do I share this? I don't know. Not certain.
Must be a reason. Do I walk on
water now? No! Do I feel special? Not in
an egotistical sense. You decide.
Insane? Fooled by evil? No evil has
come of it that I am aware of.... Only good.
