Well most of you that know me know that I couldnt resist telling a story, especially a story about being with Spirit.
I had been troubled, because the name "God" is so overused, so abused, and it hardly describes the feeling and the all of the one I call "Father". I had been deep in thought on this issue and decided to share this with God in my prayers for the evening. This is a bit unusual for me since mostly I dont speak or send thoughts during prayer, mostly i just sit... receive and bask in the light enjoying my special time with "Father."
After the conversation was done, I did as I always do and I placed my palms up and smiled and called out "Father".... I would like to just enjoy being here with you. Then I sit quietly and feel the light and warmth around me. It wasnt to long into this nightly ritual when I realized I was getting closer and closer to God. Closer to the feeling. So close in fact that from the intensity of the warm loving feeling I knew my body couldn't withstand it, I knew I was not in my body.
I have been to this place before, but this time I was brought to see something that I missed before. The feeling was the same overwhemling, undescribable feeling. What was different this time is that I could "see" God. I saw all around me this incredible white energry, not as a whole but more like fog is ... all spread out like being inside of a cloud. The energy wasnt just still, I was surrounded by it and all of it was living and swirling within itself. I looked at myself and saw that I look the same, but am a much much smaller light source. I realized at that moment that just as it says in the bible that we are created in the image of our creator, we are. We arent just created... Spirit just takes a little tiny bit from himself and that energy makes another spirit. All is One.
Many ask me why I call God "Spirit", the above story is the why of it.
