Last July I had a very unusual experience. An audible voice and vision, followed by three days of strange perceptions. At the time I felt the religious connotations I have noted therein. It was definitely not a normal event for me. I would like to put it to you for discussion. Here it is:
On 7-11-08 Pam(my wife) and I went to a rock concert in Concord, NC featuring Steve Winwood and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. There was a large crowd, maybe 20,000, in a bowl shaped amphitheater. It was a great show, the musicians were top notch and really put on a show. The crowd was on its feet all the time and having a blast. I saw the full spectrum of human behavior on display. One fellow was drunk and making a scene, he had a large christian cross tattoo on his back. I looked and saw many people who were vaguely familiar and at the same time somehow very different, ghostlike. I felt a sadness.
I now understand that this was me going into the valley of the dry bones (Ezekiel 37) and seeing the lifeless aspect of their spirits. Although they were very much alive in the conventional sense, their spirits were fettered and conditioned. Not living. I saw them branded and tattooed like cattle.
On Saturday mid-morning 7-12-08 I was sitting in my chair studying on the laptop when suddenly a loud voice in the room said:
“Son of Man, look and learn”
The words were of authority and purpose. (I did not hear this with my ears but it was like that but from the inside. My wife and our dogs did not hear anything.)
Immediately I saw an image of an older man with white beard and long white hair in a long robe standing in a black background in the center of my field of vision (the periphery was normal). He was spinning (twirling) something and suddenly brought to balance two sticks (I think it was two, they were ‘see-sawing’) on the back of one finger (right hand) without gripping it. I “knew” then that one stick (A) was to be balanced by its weight, not necessarily its mid-point. The other (B) was uniform and invariable so its mid-point was also its center of gravity.
The whole voice and vision lasted less than 2 or 3 seconds.
I was stunned. It was left up to me to figure this out. As I do this ideas and “knowing” flow from inside out in a cascade fashion, like time lapsed photography of a Rose forming and opening to full bud. At times its like a raging flood.
For the next three days I was in some kind of super awareness state, anything I thought of or looked at began to unfold and I could plumb the depths of its meaning and existence. A question about anything would form and the answer was connected to it, running like a river. I sensed the presence of other entities in this state, could communicate thoughts with them, some were joking a lot with me and some just there, watching. I could not sleep, work or eat. My mind ran full speed for the three days. I recalled many life experiences and reviewed what I had done and learned from them, even way back to childhood.
On the third day an issue of personal fear related to me came up, the most intense paranoia I have ever had. I sensed two entities present, one I took to be the devil and one the savior. The savior was in control but let the devil have me to teach me a lesson. I began to dissolve into nothingness from the legs up. At my neck position, as I was about to dissolve totally, I yelled "get behind me Satan" (it was all I could think of) and it ended. The super awareness ended too, and I was able to rest and sleep again.
These are my candidates for the sticks -
(A)- Joseph, grace, spirit, intuition, female left brain, democrat, money
(B)- Judah, the law, rational right brain, intellect, republican, credit
If we can balance these duality poles we emplace/fix the third element. That completes a triad, and opens the way to the fourth element (dimension).
Any thoughts on the "learning" I am to do would be appreciated.
Thanks, dennis
