A Dream…

I was away for a couple of days and couldn't get to the internet so I apologise for not posting anything since Friday. Here is something I wrote while I was away - I hope you enjoy reading it. Lionel

Wake, wake, my soul to the bright, bright morning: The day of the spirit has returned and the world is changed! The dross of materialism has been swept away; all doubt and uncertainty concerning immortality, gone with it. The scales have been lifted from our eyes and the world is suddenly full of light and colour.

Each tree, each plant, each flower, each insect, blazes with the inner light of the spirit; the light of life – and I can see it! The beauty and majesty of even the most humble creation takes my breath away as its light dances before my wondering eyes; light that pulses with fire and colour and is in no way outshone by its more illustrious brethren. The whole world is alight! What yesterday seemed dull and life-less, today is splendid, and pulsing with life.

To my astonished gaze each human head is surrounded by a brilliant array of lights and colours, shooting outwards like a series of comet’s tails; lights and colours that change constantly. Their beauty is breathtaking and I realise what I am seeing is the action of mind. I am seeing thoughts! Each thought, each emotion, registers its own individual colour and light so bright it is difficult to distinguish the physical features of the person. I am conscious only of the lights and colours, in a display of pyrotechnics that outshines even the most spectacular New Year’s Eve firework celebration.

As each individual registers the changes going on around him, it is fascinating to watch the play of light around the head. At first it seems tinged with shadow, as though unsure whether to accept what is being revealed. It seems to pulse and probe and hesitate. Suddenly, it erupts like a Vesuvius – a veritable explosion of colour and brilliance. Realisation has dawned; realisation that the light shining everywhere is the light of life. This is quickly followed by acceptance. Acceptance from the overwhelming evidence on display, that all life is one. The light that animates the glowing flower, shares the light that animates the dancing butterfly, the industrious bee, the swaying plant, the nodding pine, the soaring bird, the leaping trout, the running deer and the mystified human being too. All are equal regardless of size, shape dwelling place, natural ability, colour of skin or earthly possessions.

Surrounded by such beauty and spectacle there is no room for doubt, or fear, or hate, or envy: The soul has come into its own once more: The day of the spirit has returned to stay. The past is dead: All is in harmony and can be seen to be in harmony: There is certainty that the aspirations of each and every person can and will be realised in and through love.
