Musings of a Mad Mystic
By: Kerry Date: April 21, 2014, 7:35 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Think about a hydrogen atom. In center, the proton is
relatively motionless while the electron spins madly about.
It's mostly nothing, mostly empty space -- two tiny bits of
something with lots of space in between. There is a pattern to
how they behave, a pattern an intelligent mind can comprehend.
The basis of science is the belief that the physical universe
can be understood, that it makes sense, that it is not random.
If you think about this, it is truly astonishing. There is no
reason that this must be so. Why couldn't things be random?
Why should the universe make sense? If you think about this
long enough, perhaps you will reach the conclusion the mystics
have: That the universe behaves in an intelligent way because
it is intelligent itself. I shall show you that in some ways, I
have reason to believe an electron is more intelligent than a
human being.
The electron and the proton seem to like each other. They form a
pair. The proton is relatively much larger than the tinier
electron; but the electron makes us for this by having a
relatively much higher speed. The rule seems to be higher speed
goes with smaller mass and lower speed goes with larger mass.
And the larger mass forms the center. While it is not absolute
rule that the electron must stay with that particular proton, it
will stay that way unless there is some action from the outside
to alter the pattern. Both the electron and proton seem to be
intelligent and stay together. I know of no other reason they
would stay together; but they form this pair and do stay
together. The two form a unity -- the two become one and can
act as if they are one.
It seems that a neutron is a proton and an electron that are
glued to each other without the large distance between them. A
neutron seems to be like a hydrogen atom where the electron is
tied to the proton without spinning around it.
You can also observe "larger atoms" where several protons,
electrons and neutrons come together and form a unity.
Although composed of many particles, it can move and act as one.
You can also see how this atom relates to other atoms. You can
take several atoms, each with its own sense of being "one atom"
and put them together. Anotherlevel of awareness or
intelligence seems to emerge -- that of molecules. A water
molecule, although composed of two hydrogen and one oxygen
atoms, moves as one unit. The atomic realities of the three
atoms below combine somehow to form a new type of intelligence.
Above this new level lies yet another. Molecules can come
together to form minerals and crystals. Here there could be
hundreds, thousands, perhaps millions of atomic particles all
tied together and united to form one crystal; and again they
form a coherent unity that can behave as if it is one thing.
Imagine you are at the molecular level. Below your level of
awareness, you have the atomic level and its awareness can be
called the subconcious mind. Above you is the awareness of the
crystal, and it can be called the superconscious.
Of course, if you go down a level and imagine yourself at the
atomic level, your subconscious level would that of the
particles and your superconscious would be the molecular level.
You can move up and down in awareness and find how levels are
connected to each other, one above another.
Minerals and crystals form proteins. Proteins can form other
things, and eventually we have cells. Cells form organs, and
organs form individual bodies. When you move your physical body,
there are billions of atomic particles all moving together.
Your act of wanting it to be so can make it so. It is made so
by these levels of awareness, each responding to the ones above
and below.
In physical terms, we see how the earth is formed of a large
number of atoms. Yet the earth moves along as one body in
space around the sun which also is formed of a large number of
atoms. There are other planets also; and some of these planets
have moons which go around them. You can also have objects
orbiting a moon. The rule however is that the smaller object
orbits the larger one; and the speed of the smaller object is
higher than the larger one.
The entire solar system also forms a unity that is moving along
as a unity. Your physical body can walk and all its body parts
go along without disturbing the unity of the body; and similarly
the entire solar system is moving while the orbital patterns of
the planets going around the sun are undisturbed and the moons
of the planets go around them, and so on.
As strange as it may sound to some people today, the sun, the
planets, and the moons have their levels of awareness. Some
people call them the "spirits" of these bodies. I have
contacted the spirits of the sun, moon, Venus and Saturn. For
some reason, Mercury seems impossible although I believe it
should be easiest for me. The pagans knew of these spirits and
began to worship imposter spirits which claimed to be these
celestial spirits.
Then there is the galaxy. I suppose there are several levels in
between our solar system and the galactic level, but I am not
familiar with them; and so far as I know, science has not
studied them. However we know that the center of each galaxy is
denser than the outlying parts. There are connections among the
stars. I have also contacted the intelligence on Sirius. I
have also observed a few other planets, but it is possible to
move up and down the levels to do this.
Above that are groups of galaxies. I forget how many galaxies
we are a part of, but astronomers call it "the local group" and
they appear to moving together more or less along the same
trajectory.
Finally we come to the "center of the universe." Here I
disagree with those scientists who say the universe has no
center. Their theory is based on mere conjecture so far as I
can discern; and I have seen the center. Others have seen it
also. At the center of all that is, both physical and
non-physical, lies what can be called the Great Central Sun. It
cannot be observed using physical instruments; but it is the
center of all that is, and the true meaning of the "sun" as a
symbol in the Bible is this center of all that is in physical
and non-physical manifestation. This Sun is not God. No, do
not think that. Rather it is the highest level of awareness in
all the universes physical and spiritual.
The meaning of being clothed in the Sun is when someone has
journeyed to this Sun and become part of its unity. I do not
claim that. I claimed only to have seen it. I was a tiny
particle like gold dust circling it. There were many other
particles circling it. Indeed every spiritual being has its
origin from this Sun and can be said to be a tiny bit of dust.
No bigger than an electron -- tinier than the mustard seed Jesus
used as his metaphor.

I think I understand a little about the levels of awareness but
not in regard to the sun, planets and moons as far as what I
might recall in a memory of sorts. But I do seem to recall that
everything, where I was at the time, had some kind of awareness
and I was able to sense and feel that awareness and at the same
time there seemed to be a sort of oneness, that's probably not
the right word but I don't know how else to describe it. I find
it curious that people would want to worship the sun or planets
even if they did sense that awareness instead of worshiping the
Creator. The fact that imposter spirits claimed to be these
celestial spirits I've never heard that explanation for it
before but it doesn't surprise me. These imposter spirits seem
to seize every available opportunity to have worship directed to
them instead of to God, the Creator. They can pretend to be
anything they want to be.

^ Oneness is the word I think I would use, Heartsong. When
everything is connected and operating properly, it is like a
tree with a stem, branches, sub-branches, twigs, and leaves. It
acts as one.
Awareness can fracture and break off -- and when it does that,
it is no longer connected correctly to the levels of awareness
above. It then tries to dominate and manipulate. You can see
if this theory of awareness is correct, being separated from the
Oneness means being separated from the Source of Life. The sad
truth about this is that this kind of separated awareness can
prey on other life which is connected to the Oneness.
Here we have the wolves which seek out God's innocent sheep to
devour -- and the wicked who seem to thrive on abusing the
innocence of children. Then there are the fake gods who steal
life energy from God's children if they can be deceived into
worshiping them. I think a clear warning sign we may have
remnants of idolatry left is when our beliefs result in anger
and division with other people. While we can't escape anger and
division coming at us from the outside, we can avoid creating it
ourselves. Surely everything should be connected in this
Oneness; and if we love God, we must love other people.
1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he
is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen,
how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
It is a rough world. We are tempted to believe harmony and
love are impossible. After enough betrayals and unreasonable
rage being directed at a child, what should that child think?
Many children lose their innocence this way, not completely but
they hide it, convinced it is not safe to love. For me, the
Gospel is that it is safe to love. It is safe to "give in" to
the inner child. Life is not worth living if we must pretend
to be wicked to survive. It sounds foolish, I know, but we must
really become like children again to enter the kingdom --
embracing the image and likeness of God in which God made us.
If we can do that, then our lives may be a witness to others
that it is possible to love in this world. The evil is not
that overwhelming.

As strange as it may sound, man and the earth follow the same
pattern. From what I know of the structure of the atom, it does
too.
Imagine yourself at the center of the earth. Above you is the
North Star, and circling that is the constellation that circles
the northern region like a crown -- but it's known as Draconis,
the dragon or the serpent. Note it. The serpent's place is not
in the dust. No, that is the problem. The real serpent energy
is meant to circle around. In the person, this is known as the
"Crown of Life." You won't get yours until the fallen serpent
is defeated. . . and then lifted up so it no longers eats the
dust. The Hindus and Buddhists call it the "crown chakra." If
you see a halo around a saint's head, that's what it is. I have
seen someone with a halo once when she was sleeping.
Below you at the South Pole is the Southern Cross. This is where
eventually the earth's spiritual energy will rise from in
glorious flames and the old earth will pass away and a new earth
will emerge. At "the cross," all forms of being enter and exit.
In the man's makeup, this is known as the root chakra or base
of the spine chakra, and it has four petals.
The serpent energy in man, also known as kundalini, is usually
dormant in this chakra, trapped. "Miracles" cannot be performed
unless this energy is harnessed and disciplined; and the biggest
obstacle to that is the waste of the serpent energy in sexual
activity. Other activities can rouse it, but sex is the usual
thing. Other activities that use this energy can be spotted by
(1) their meaninglessness, and (2) compulsive repetition. This
can be almost anything like mountain climbing or a cultish
devotion to football. This energy, also called "sex energy,"
can be harnessed into meaningful activities like ballet,
painting, science, etc. But note it, if the sex energy is
devoted to either meaningless or meaningful activities, the sex
life of the person will doubtless show signs of it. Thus the
wife who objects to her husband's being glued to the television
is correctly annoyed since he is putting his sex energy into
that instead of giving it to her.
The person who wastes sex energy on sex or other generally
meaningless tasks -- and most sex is meaningless and repetitive
-- or diverts it into productive physical activities will
probably not be able to perform miracles.
Enough of the poles then which form the top and bottom chakras
in both the earth and in man. Now let us go to the equator and
visualize the circle that goes around the earth. Visualize in
front of you Leo the Lion. Astrology has been off the mark for
some time now by assigning the first degree of Aries as the
beginning of the zodiac. The true beginning lies in the
constellation of Leo where the star Regulus is. It is the
brightst star in Leo, and its name means "king" or "prince."
Another name is "Cors Leonis" or "heart of the lion."
Why does astrology use 1 degree Aries? It has to do with the
earth age ushered in around the time of Abraham when the earth
entered the age of Aries.
But ahead of you lies Leo. In the Bible, this is shown by Judah
in the east. Directly behind you is the constellation of
Aquarius, the man. This is shown by Joseph in the west. If
your thoughts go to the Sphinx, good for you since it shows the
combination of the lion and the man; and the Sphinx faces east.
So far, we have covered two of the four cherubim described by
Ezekiel and John. These two are the cherubim which guard the
Tree of Life. They are the two bodies or vehicles of man which
are to be vehicles for the Spirit of God. Heart and mind. Fire
and air.
Now midway between these two also on the equator lie two other
constellations: Taurus the Bull and Aquila the Eagle. These
are the other two cherubim of earth and water -- the calf and
the eagle. However close to Aquila the Eagle lies the
constellation of Scorpio the Scorpion. Astrology reckons
Scorpio to be a fixed sign (along with Taurus, Leo and Aquarius)
while the Bible has the Eagle as the cherub. But the Bible also
sometimes uses the scorpion as a symbol for the corrupted cherub
of water -- instead of the noble eagle (with the serpent in its
beak), we have the scorpion which strikes out with poison.
And thus you sit in the middle with one point above, one below,
one straight ahead, one behind, one to your left, and one to
your right. This can be visualized in a spherical fashion . . .
or inside a cube. The ancient talked about squaring the circle?
No, the real task is reconciling the sphere with the cube.
However on a flat surface as in Israel when you have Judah in
the east and Joseph in the west, you get Reuben (the calf) in
the south and Dan (the serpent) in the north. I've yet to find
a kabbalist that agrees with my assigning these signs to these
tribes; but why should that bother me? Surely Dan is the
serpent since Genesis connects that tribe to the serpent, and
Judah to the lion. It is only a matter of looking at a map
then to see what tribes were placed at the south and west.
Now I have researched the matter at some length. I have located
twenty or more "sacred" points in earth's spiritual geography;
but my results startled me. For now, let me talk only about the
six points I remember. I lost my charts with the other points;
but perhaps I can find them. They follow a most precise
geometrical pattern. My results were not what I expected as I
said. I expected these points (which are really Holy Cities) to
follow the geographical north and south poles and the regular
equator. Not so. Rather they correspond to the magnetic poles
and what I call the magnetic equator.
You know generally where the magnetic poles are. They are moving
-- and I may talk about that later, having conducted an
experiment about it successfully -- but I digress. Now imagine
an equator circling the earth midway between the two poles. Of
course, any point on this equator would be about 90 degrees from
both poles. Could I find four sacred sites on this circle? I
could and did. I had been told about three of them but not the
fourth; but a little math revealed the fourth. For the record,
I have travelled to some Holy Cities or Spiritual Retreats; but
I have never been inside any of these four.
The first is off the coast of Angola near Luanda. Coordinates
of Luanda: 8°50′18″S 13°14′4″E. The
Holy City is not on the land but out in the ocean to the east
and to the south. What is directly opposite that? Hawaii is
at 18° 55′ N to 28° 27′ N -
Longitude
The third place I knew about was in the Andes; and it is close
to Lake Titicaca -- but I think it's closer to another lake. It
lies about 90° between Hawaii and Luanda. So where would be
exactly opposite that? 15°45′S 69°25′W is the
location, so we should find something sacred about 16 N and 121
E. Note also that those three sites so far are close to areas
where land and water meet; so it would be highly desirable if
the fourth site was also found to be close both land and water.
I figure it has to be Angkor Wat at 13°24′45″N
103°52′0″E. Now that area was originally not close
to water. Earth got moved so that there would be water there.
There is much more than can be said about the geometry of the
world and the sky. But do note that on a flat surface, there
are the four cardinal points -- thus the four horsemen, etc.
Then there is the point above and the point below, bring us to
six; and finally the seventh in the center. These six must be
perfected before the center can "rest."
There is a simple way to summon Archangel Michael using these
seven. Ask him to be before you, behind you, on your left and
right, above and below and with you as you go. There is a
piece of music which doubles the number of angels placing two at
each station. It's from Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel.

When at night I go to sleep
Fourteen angels watch do keep
Two my head are guarding
Two my feet are guiding
Two are on my right hand
Two are on my left hand
Two who warmly cover
Two who oer me hover
Two to whom tis given
To guide my steps to heaven
Sleeping sofly, then it seems
Heaven enters in my dreams;
Angels hover round me,
Whisp'ring they have found me;
Two are sweetly singing,
Two are garlands bringing,
Strewing me with roses
As my soul reposes.
God will not forsake me
When dawn at last will wake me
This is, believe it or not, a very good meditation. If you like

Here is a depiction of a :Simple Quantum View of Hydrogen cloud
ground state of energy, H cloud excited state, and Carbon p
orbitals ground state.C." Look at the center image.
HTML http://www.laurencenet.net/images/Hcloudgroundstste.gif
What is an electron cloud? Well, electrons don't actually
"move" the way you might think. They disappear in one place
and appear in another. Before they appear, that electron cloud
shows odds or probability of the electron being detected in that
spot. Note this. The simplest things appear and disappear in
clouds. It is also the method used by the most complex
manifestations. Thus Jesus left in clouds and the angels said
he would return in clouds. This does not mean physical clouds
of water vapor. Rather it means spiritual clouds. Most humans
can remember at least once "feeling a presence" when they
couldn't see anyone. That is the spiritual cloud of that
person's presence. The Divine has a powerful Cloud of Presence.
Now that is not to say that when the Divine manifests in time
and space that physical water vapor clouds might not appear
also; but the water vapor is not the essential part. God can
manifest anywhere and does not require water vapor in the air to
manifest.
Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye
shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds
of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
That includes people in desert dry places.
The eyes of Israel could perceive the spiritual Pillar, the
Cloud of Presence. It was this "cloud" which helped baptize
them. It is said that they also saw "clouds" at Sinai.
Deuteronomy 4:11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain;
and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with
darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
It was in the Cloud of Presence that the spiritual rainbow
appeared for Noah. It was from the Cloud of Presence the Voice
is heard in the New Testament at the Transfiguration -- and
surely Moses and Elijah appeared in clouds also.
The Divine Clouds have the Water of Life in them. There are
evil presences that appear in clouds; but they are "clouds
without water."
Jude 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they
feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are
without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit
withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
2 Peter 2:17 These are wells without water, clouds that are
carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved
for ever.
Yes, twice dead and hopelessly so. Do not jump to conclusions
however and think this means eternal damnation. No such souls
are dead; but it does not mean the real person is without hope.
I believe millions of hopeless souls were destroyed in the First
Century. Allowing them to go on would have been pointless and
even threatened the progress of others. God can give people
new souls. There are some people around today without proper
souls -- and these too need to be destroyed so the people can be
given new souls. There is a child -- I'd rather not say who or
where -- that I believe is so viciously evil, it would be a
blessing if he were to die before growing up. There used to
many of these. Of some souls that were born into Babylon, the
Psalmist says something startling:
Psalm 137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy
little ones against the stones.
Now that Psalm had been fulfilled once, but I saw it replayed in
part.
I sang this Psalm the day Saddam Hussein's sons were killed. I
had composed music for it years before; and it ends merrily. My
text read however, "happy is he who dashes your little ones
against the rocks."
Saddam I can understand even forgive. I get what he was about.
His sons however were children of Belial to me. The world would
have been better had they never been born. Clouds without
water. I saw the angels carrying them off. Those souls will
not be back. I do not know about their spirits however -- for
all I know they never belonged on this earth. If so, it was not
a loss for the rest of the earth if such tares were uprooted. I
will also rejoice if I hear that child I was talking about dies.
I heard that child talking on a radio news show; and as he was
talking, an angel told me about him. Prayer can do quite a lot
in such cases while such evil is alive in human form. They can
be hemmed in and bottled up until their physical bodies die.
There was a huge purge of evil souls in David's day too. It was
not like the purge that came in the First Century -- no, that
kind of tribulation was never seen before (not even at Noah's
flood) nor will such a purge ever be as great again. But David
did a lot to clean up the earth, and his son Solomon ruled in
peace too.
Psalm 104:35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and
let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul.
Praise ye the Lord.
Not your average kind of "sinners" mind. David is talking about
the kind of weeds that if allowed to take over would strangle
the wheat completely, making salvation impossible for everyone
else. Such a purge occurred also in Sodom where the children
were the instigators of greater evil than their parents; and of
course Pharaoh was not worth saving when Israel left Egypt. His
evil was so predictable, you could say he lacked free will.
Thus the LORD told Moses to take Israel into a place where
Pharaoh would think they were sitting ducks that could easily be
killed. Yes, his evil was predictable.
Exodus 14:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn
and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over
against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are
entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after
them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his
host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord. And they
did so.
Note too the description of the Pillar.
19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel,
removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went
from before their face, and stood behind them:
20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of
Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave
light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other
all the night.
Odd how the Divine is experienced by different people:
Psalm 18:26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with
the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
Similarly the three in the fiery furnace were not injured, but
the people stoking the fire fell down dead. And a fourth
appeared. This too is a pattern of three being somewhere and a
fourth appears.

I should go on about the subject I already started; but I feel
like telling you about another very strange day I had some years
ago.
A woman whose books I had read was very sick -- unconscious in a
coma to be honest. I had reached her on the spiritual plane and
I had a pretty good idea of what she was doing. I didn't talk
to her though in the coma. I had talked to her though once when
I had a problem and she showed up to give me advice. She was
expected to die.
Now she had written once that the angels love some music that's
been written on earth, they play it in Heaven. And that often
when someone arrives in Heaven, they play the Triumphal March
from Aida. It's only the first part of this:
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3w4I-KElxQ
So I was asleep one night when I heard music -- it was so loud
it woke me up and at first I thought it was coming from my
neighbors' house. It was this piece from Aida. Strange because
the neighbors never played music loud and certainly I don't they
liked classical.
This was one time I got confused over where sounds were coming
from. Usually I know if it's coming from the physical world or
from the spiritual planes. But it was this piece of music --
very loud and very fine too. As I moved more from from the
sleep world into the waking world, the music faded away. When I
realized what it was, I figured someone must have died and
entered Heaven. I figured it was the woman in the coma. I had
no clue who else it could be.
I forget the reason we were having a family get together the
next day; but I was expected to go so go I went. I hate driving
on highways so took the back roads. What a mistake that was.
I''m out in the middle of nowhere when I run into a road that is
closed. That means I don't know where I'm going. It also means
I'll be late. At the time I didn't have a cellphone to call,
so I'm hoping my family isn't waiting lunch on me. I'm
wandering about on roads I've never seen before very angry. In
the middle of my angriest fit, a bird came down from the sky and
flew right into the middle of my windshield. I have no
explanation for it except somehow my anger seeped out into the
world and made the poor bird kill itself. I was horrified at my
anger and filled with regret that possibly my anger had killed
the bird; but I believe the bird interceded for me. I do. That
bird was willing to die to teach me a lesson. God will reward
it, I believe.
So I calmed down. I would get there when I got there. About an
hour later I pulled into the driveway of my parents' home. All
the family was there except my Father who was in a nursing home.
My youngest sister ran out to meet me. She said, "I have to
tell you something before you go in." Then I knew. I said,
"You don't have to tell me. Daddy died, didn't he." Yes, he
had, she said; but she was confused how I could know. I didn't
tell her about the poor bird, only about the music.
Never in a million years would I have suspected he would be
ushered into Heaven so. It's true there were some problems
later. He wasn't perfect when he crossed; but I felt confident
that day, and I knew I had been told so I wouldn't grieve and so
I could be stronger for my family. To this day however I feel
sorrow over the bird. Anger can be a horrible thing -- like a
curse going out into the world.

When Michael showed up, I knew who it was at once; but I didn't
know why he was there. He was standing on a rock with a sword
in his left hand. The sword was lifted up in the air. He was
dressed in a tunic that came about to his knees. His face was
innocent and pure like a child's, incredibly beautiful. The
only color in this vision was blue. Everything was blue. He
stood without saying a word. I asked him if I could ask him a
question. He said yes, so I asked, "Why do you want power?"
He said, "To do God's work better."
Did you catch my impurity in that question? I had been
associating wanting power with evil. I had never specifically
thought of Michael that way, but it was a problem I had with
myself. I saw I had been harboring some problems inwardly --
not choosing evil outright but wanting to keep the options open
in case someday I wanted to do those evil things. Just in case.
In that state, God could not trust me with power. I had not
given up those options to do evil if I felt like it. Now I say
"God could not trust me" but it's also the case I didn't trust
myself. My conscience knew I wasn't safe to be trusted with too
much power.
Did you know that if you abuse a gift or ability, your
conscience will turn it off so you can't use it? I don't
advise trying it, but if you went around kicking animals and
people enough, eventually you'd do something to limit your
ability to use your feet like that. You might even cripple
yourself.
So Michael had come to show me these inner mental reservations
I had had.
Then I had heard that any angel can appear as male or female, so
I asked if I could see his female counterpart. She appeared on
the rock too and with a sword; but the sword was in her right
hand and pointed down with the blade almost touching the ground
-- as if a child was standing behind the sword and protected by
it although it was not moving. The sword that protects the
innocent by placing itself in between the innocent and the
guilty is the same sword that is raised to inflict damage on the
guilty if he chooses to attack. That was the end of the vision.
I had to start clearing more garbage out of my life. Wanting to
keep all the options open just in case I wanted to do evil was
-- to use Elijah's words -- "halting between two opinions." To
use James' words, it was being "double minded." Saying, "But
I'm not doing anything evil by wanting to keep the option to do
evil" wasn't good enough. I had to give up those options.

You obviously don't have to answer this...but when you get
visions are you in prayer, meditation/musing or do they come
spontaneously? You would probably answer 'all three' as would
I...but which mostly? Other than those, my 'mostly' would be
dream.
Blue is the colour of the anointing...I was intrigued by the
sword being in his left hand...why the left biblically right is
the good/strong hand of blessing...so did you get any feedback
on why his left? Maybe to angels both hands are the same.
I still have a mind block on female angels...probably because
none are mentioned in the bible..they are always referred to as
'he'.
Some people say that they have never had any such experiences in
their christian lives.
I don't think God picks and chooses, I think it is the person
themselves. Either they never 'get quiet' with God or they never
'expect' to see into the other kingdom...or both.
I strongly believe we should not seek 'experiences', that is
dangerous, and the enemy will be sure to give one, one we will
think is from God. I believe we should always 'seek-God' and
'expect' to engage with the kingdom realm , there is nothing
standing between except ourselves.....we are already standing
within the spiritual kingdom.

Yes, the world and those in it who admire angels always seem to
focus on the female image. The angels typically use the male
image as they are the stronger image, less likely to be attacked
and have to be careful not to attract an attack that they would
have to kill someone because of it. Thats my thoughts at
least.

I don't get visions much anymore. I get a few brief flashes,
but not a real vision. Sometimes it was in prayer, sometimes
meditating and sometimes in the middle of the night. I wouldn't
call those dreams though since I felt wide awake. When the
vision was over, I'd open my eyes physically and go back to
seeing things from my body. It was like walking from one room
to another -- without any confusion or grogginess of waking up.
I wouldn't say I had been asleep.

The left hand shows severity or judgment while the right hand is
mercy, love and blessing.
[quote]I still have a mind block on female angels...probably

Zechariah 5 are angels. Usually the angel takes on the male
aspect since it is actively doing something on earth while the
female aspect stays in Heaven. I do not know; but my theory is
when an angel wants to do something on earth by being passive,
it seems to look female to us. I'd associate the female
characteristics of Michael with "faith." If one has faith, one
is being passive and waiting for something from "above" to make
something happen.
I'd associate it also with "bearing children" --meaning
spiritual children. The "Church" is said to be female; and in a
way it is a female counterpart -- could we call it an angelic
counterpart -- of Jesus.
Note that in Zechariah the two female angels will "build a
house." This is like what Exodus says without using the word
angel.
Exodus 1:20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the
people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he
made them houses.
Strange language, but didn't all the "houses" of Israel depend
on them? The house of David, the house of the priesthood?
Those "houses" got "male" names though while female did not
"take credit".

and 'expect' to engage with the kingdom realm , there is nothing

within the spiritual kingdom. [/quote]I tried that once. I had
had one vision of Jesus on the cross and wanted to see him
again. I was indeed caught up into Heaven and saw him the way
John saw him with the white hair and flaming eyes. I did not
see his feet. His eyes were piercing and made me feel as if my
"body" was dissolving or burning away. I knew I was not pure
enough to stand in this fiery manifestation and I fell back to
the earth into my body. The Jewish kabbalists say there are
two manifestations of Elijah -- and one is fiery. They say
some people who summoned the fiery one died. I can believe it.
I think my "spiritual body" would have been consumed if I hadn't
fallen out of Heaven. If I had grown angry and wanted to stay,
I think I could ceased to exist. Oh, my physical body would
have been around; but it would have been dead like Aaron's sons.
I do still "fly around" at times; but my spiritual sight isn't
as good as it used to be. When I'm praying about something, my
mind tends to go there -- and sometimes I start seeing things.
For years and years, I prayed about the city of Rome. I never
saw anything. A few months ago when praying about Rome, I saw
what looked like a cliff at the sea, and the cliff began to be
dissolved and wash into the sea like mud. This was a brief
vision of sorts; and I think some judgment had been set.
Yes, I'd say about a tenth of the "city" fell. Not to worry
though, because that will get repaired. The wedding goes on,
even if all the invited guests don't show up.
I saw the Holy City of Jerusalem clearly once. I may have told
you about that? I wasn't allowed inside though. There were
twelve gates and twelve paths or roads coming from them -- and
they looked as if they made of light. Angels were zooming. I
couldn't see them, but I knew they were flying.
Angels can fly through people too. I had been skeptical about
chakras for most of my life. One day when I was praying facing
east, my "heart" opened like a flower blossoming. I couldn't
see it but when it opened like that, I could see twelve paths of
light going through me. And angels were flying through me. So
I had to believe in chakras -- at least that the heart had
twelve gates just like the Holy City.
I'd say the "tree" had grown up high enough into Heaven that the
"birds" could find refuge in the branches.
