This morning I met with Jesus in the cool, deciduous forest where the ground was covered with ferns covering and the water trickled down into the natural well. My mind had been swirling with a lot of thoughts so I mentioned to Jesus that I needed to clear my mind. I did this by imagining every thought as a huge block of ice falling away from me and imagined I could hear it cracking apart as it fell. This got me in the proper state of mind to visit with Jesus and the others. As we walked out of the forest, I was suddenly reminded of the computer drawing I did once where Jesus and I stood at the edge of a river of ice. It wasn’t until later that he told me we had been looking at earth.
Soon we stood on a low mountain surrounded by higher mountains on every side. The ground where we stood was covered in colorful wild flowers and I thought of a sudden desert bloom after a rain and perhaps these were just as temporary from snow melt.
We all joined hands and called more people to join us. Many do as we call on God to send us extra love energy. I saw and felt God descend like a waterfall of light all around us. I was filled with so much love energy I felt I would burst. Then each of us turned around to spread this special love and to go about the world to share this life giving energy.
I asked Jesus to show me who I should go to first. We went to a man who had just been told he would die of cancer. The man’s mind was filled with regret that he’d treated his family badly from drink and drug use. These thoughts filled him with such despair, I could tell he was in agony but not from his illness. With Jesus standing by my side, I reached out my arms that were now filled with such light I lit up the man’s whole room, and hugged him for a very long time. I assured him that Jesus was here and he would have time to undo some of the damage he had caused his family. I gave him an extra squeeze as I said this. I watched as the light energy penetrated the man’s body from myself and Jesus. The man began to cry with happiness and I smiled with my own happiness. There is no better feeling then to be able to help a person in great need.
We went to a few other people this morning too, but I decided
I didn’t need to write about them. One example of the power of God’s love
energy seems to say it all. I have noticed that there is usually a purpose to
Jesus curing a person or his helping me heal and it is the same purpose as it
was two thousand years ago--to teach. We are all on a road of learning as we
walk towards God.

For a change, because I didn’t want to get up early Sunday
morning, I went to St Hyacinth Church for the 4:00 Saturday mass. I am so glad
I went. I was amazed at the spirituality I felt during the mass and was
enthralled once again by the simple service and the great singing of the
organist. When he sang “How Great Thou Are” my eyes filled with tears. I
remembered once when my newly catholic daughter-in-law came to St. Hyacinth
Church with me for Mother’s Day and the organist sang Ava Maria. We both cried
that day and I felt proud to share this experience with her.
Sad to say, St. Hyacinth’s is ethnic Polish and many former
members who were Polish have died or their families moved to the suburbs, which
means that the church members are few now. Also, the church is so huge that
even hundreds would make it seem near empty.
I decided to write this because I feel the need to say—If you want to fall in love with Jesus all over again, go experience mass at St. Hyacinth.
Note-- I
met the organist for the first time Saturday and suggested that he make a CD of
his singing and organ playing. He could sell it at the St. Hyacinth Banana
Festival in October. He promised he would do so. I intend to go to the festival
so I can purchase a CD. He told me his name and even spelled it for me, but I
forgot. I need things written down. I apologize for that.

This isn’t a great painting but I painted my vision.
Now we have vast numbers at the boarder and I feel bad
about their plight.

Father Thomas’ sermon was
interesting this morning, but then it usually is attention-grabbing. I often
wonder at the number of times he has did a sermon on
the same bible passage and how he can pick out new ideas to talk about. This
morning’s NT reading was about Jesus walking on water. Father was right about
it being a blessing to be in church to hear this reading. He asked, “Where else
could you hear it or be reminded of this miraculous feat?”
“Yes, where else? I had forgotten about Jesus walking on water and being reminded of it this morning gives me much to ponder over. Father also mentioned how Jesus reached out to give Peter a helping hand and how Jesus reaches out to give any of us who ask a helping hand. A vital point worth stressing. I think it is crucially important for a priest to give an interesting and thoughtful sermon at Sunday mass. Too many Catholics are leaving the church, maybe because they get bored? Regardless, Father Thomas always finds a way to give a good sermon on any subject.
The NT reading also made me think about how Jesus wanted to be alone to pray and then spent all day at it. I suspect he wanted to communicate with his Father and to build up God-energy as an aid when he would later walk on water. He knew his apostles were afraid and wanted to show them his power to assure them he was the person they should follow. Jesus seemed to always have teaching as a first goal. Everything he said and did was a lesson for the people of his day and those of us in the future. He surely knew his words would come to us today and that his teachings would fill us with determination and trust.
Also, by Jesus’ example of prayer to the Father, I
understand that those of us who gather upon the mountain to bathe in God-energy
are following Jesus example. It was Jesus who began our mental joining upon the
mountain. I realize that our gathering is hard to understand because it is
ephemeral instead of factual, therefore a movement that is hard to grasp. Also,
it isn’t easy to hold the mind steady enough to stay together for a long time.
(I am still a novice but some people are able to stay in a state of meditation
or bliss or communion with God for much longer periods of time).
Hard as it can be for many of us, it is a beginning that will carry us and those who follow into the future. I hope to continue bathing in God-energy and love for as long as I live. I have always been a person who didn’t know how to love. It took God to show me the way and I never want to loose the ability to love again.
Mary loves us so much she cries for us.
Her tears are hard to see in the photo, but they are there.

This morning we gathered upon the
highest mountain on earth. I imagined the wind whipping my silken gown around
me and breathing in the cold fresh air. I know, in reality I would be dead if I
tried to stand on top of a mountain in
It is not enough to fill with God’s power and light, we
then longed to share this gift with other people who may need it. This is what
we did. We pushed light energy around the earth like a huge glowing cloud
of love. We tried to concentrate it most in the warped events taking place in
different areas of the earth but all of earth can use the extra blessing from
God. I didn’t go to individuals this morning because my concentration was weak.
Before parting, I told the others that they could join Jesus and I in travel at some time during the weekend because Jesus had something to show us about the future. Right away i began worrying about what misery we might witness or maybe not. Well, just wait and see.
Note-Truth-When I hear a young person say they are searching for the truth, I can’t help but smile. They don’t know it yet but truth is like a giant layer cake with an infinite number of layers, so many, they will never get to that ultimate truth.
Note-Time-what must time be like for Jesus? We wallow in time, drive our whole selves through this substance we call time and carve minutes to days to years into it in order to use this time that we don’t understand. We are like fish in the sea who don’t know what the consistency of the water surrounding them. Yet, Jesus must stand beyond the ocean of time we wallow in. I imagine he can step into any time and place, arrange any action, instill any thought, and even watch events he knows will enfold before they happen. We can hardly imagine such a state of being and wonder if he sometimes stir the pot?
Of course. He must. I doubt he is concerned with most jumbles of things that happen. The same problems seem to repeat seemingly forever. It must get tiring as he watches it all happen over and over again. To him our growth must seem slow and uneven. Perhaps he doesn’t expect more of us. Perhaps he knows and understands what holds us back. Perhaps he is not overly worried because he knows our hearts and minds will continue in spite of the forces that rise against us. He knows he has already won as he stands above and beyond this substance we call time.

Jesus said he wanted us to travel this evening. I sat
comfortable outside on my swing surrounded by a cove of trees and said I was
ready. We followed Jesus through the
sky-tunnel because I had said I needed the long walk into the sky to orientate
my self and get ready for what ever it is Jesus wants to show us.
Jesus smiled at my need, even after all these years.
I said. “But aren’t we going to earth in the future as you suggested? If so, then who knows where the earth will be in the heavens unless we step up to it through the tunnel.”
Jesus laughed at my attempt to rationalize our actions and I thought of how hard it would be to actually find where earth was in the heavens at some future date. Speaking of place and time, I assumed it would be the same as when we travel to other planets where we would witness only a single moment of one certain place and time. This proved to be correct.
So we walked through the sky-tunnel and I felt the smooth,
reddish wood beneath the palm of my hand as I walked past greenery and butterflies
and even a few birds. This was the children’s doing a few years ago. We stood
at the edge with a billowing shear curtain before us. Jesus stood in front and
stepped off first, we followed.
The first thing I saw was a lot of green trees and other plants as we floated down through them to the ground. The trees didn’t seem to be jungle plants but they were so abundant I asked if we were at the equator. Jesus said we were in a temperate zone, and added, “Here you will see plants lush and alive like you’ve never seen before.”
Oh, how right he was and the flowers. I looked closely at a flower that looked like an iris but it was a huge as my head and the smells all around me were lusciously inviting. All kinds of perfumes were coming from the green leaves and many flowers. Flowers that I couldn’t put a name to because I had never seen them before, at least not in that size.
The flowers were interspersed between trees, bushes, ponds, and medium tall grass. We stood near a clearing in front of a small house made out of trees, with some leaves on the house still green. A man with a gray, wispy, long beard wearing a brown robe came out to greet us. He wore a huge smile, nodded at us, and began to walk and show us around his yard. He pointed to a group of different colored flowers and other growing plants with unusual shapes. Then he pointed to the strange standing and hang shapes he’d built over and around the growing plants. It looked like a field of tinker toy forms built from saplings or bamboo bent into weird contorted shapes, some reaching into the sky. In one area, vegetable plants grew beneath an arch of shaped sticks as if it only needed a plastic cover to protect it in winter, but the other high rise figures I couldn’t fathom a purpose for it at all. Regardless, taken together it looked beautifully strange.
“Can I ask you a few questions?” I asked the robed man.
He nodded permission with a smile as if he knew what I would ask.
“There is no cover over the plants. Does it snow here?”
“I take care of the cover when and if it is needed.” I had
a picture in my mind of him building the cover as needed with mental effort
alone as if creating a skin out of thin air.
He bent his head to the side as if thinking, then added, “You are from very long ago.” He smiled at each of us.
“Yes,” I agreed. “You seem to live so simply. Is this really earth? Are there any cities?”
His grin widened and he laughed. “Oh, no. Gone long ago.” His whole face lit up and his eyes crinkled when he said, “The computers are gone as well.”
At these words I didn’t look too happy. It seems to me that we need some technology to communicate and be busy. He knew my thoughts because he told me that he didn’t need a computer to contact the other people living on earth. “Our mind is our computer.”
My amazement must have showed because his next comment
cleared up my misunderstanding.
He said, “I need to eat, sleep just as you do and I love
working with my hands.” He stretched out his arm to include all he had created.
I sensed his enjoyment as he explained all this to me. I
mentally agreed that we came from a perplexed and mixed up age that didn’t know
how to use our own minds. During the visit, I also learned that he could travel
at will with his body and he stayed here on earth for the pleasure of being in
his special garden spot.
I think most of earth is a garden by now. I seem to remember Jesus telling me that earth would become a garden years ago.
I turned to Jesus and asked, “If there are so few people on earth, where did they all go?”
Jesus explained that they went where they choose to go by using their mind to travel.
“Oh.” What could I say to this. We are traveling in a somewhat similar mode right now, but in spirit only.
We said good-by to the man who looked like a holy prophet
from the bible. In our day, a man with such powers would be consider
some kind of minor God.
I didn’t notice birds but hadn’t looked for them and this
visit was very short. I wondered if birds would be huge too because every thing
on this future earth seemed so healthy and beautiful as if earth had once again
become a paradise or the Garden of Eden, before we were driven out of it.
As we left I asked Jesus, “Why did you bring us to this time?
He said, “To give hope,” then added, “To show that humans will eventually mature.”
I suddenly understood and I wondered if our visit was so far into the future after all. I suspect, perhaps from reading Revelation, that we are about to experience great upheavals on earth. But Jesus has showed us that even so, there is hope and survival. I remember once when he took me into the future on earth and we meet an acolyte who was studying and practicing how to use his mind by trying to lift an object off a table. At that time, there were still some areas with groups of people living in housing who used a special type of buried energy to power their homes.
I agree that as beautiful and wise as that man was, it is
still good that we have to grow and experience many things before we achieve
such a high state of mental ability. Maybe all the fun is in getting there, or
perhaps not, not if we suffer too greatly, and we surly will, but haven’t we
always?

An angel whispered into my ear as I
watched Bill Moyers this Sunday with his guest Joseph E. Stiglitz,
who’s latest book explains how to fix the problem of
inequality in a 27 page paper titled, “Reforming Taxation to Promote Growth and
Equality.”
The angel said, “This will all end.”
I assumed the angel meant the
corporate rape going on in today’s
My words will hardly make any
difference. I guess I am upset because I see so many people actually stepping
up to the plate to change serious wrongs and I sit here doing next to nothing.
I have watched as the worst is brought out in young black men because of fear
and anger. I’ve read about solitary confinement and torture going on in our
government. I see people get laid off from jobs they worked at for years so the
company could pay someone else a smaller wage. So many things are wrong, yet,
things are right too and as I age I prefer to dwell on life’s beauty. I wonder
if I am wrong, if I should do more, and if so, what?
