My side yard with snow

When I think about what Jesus said about this web writing, that it will be read and scrutinized one day, I think about how confusing it will be to any reader. For instance, if someone years from now wanted to read about my meeting the physical Jesus in church, they would need to go far back to some uncertain date and skim everything because I use dates as labels. Well, in this instance they might easily be attracted to a line of shoe photos across the page, which might make their search easier. ha.
I thought of changing how I label these web writings and mentioned this to Jesus.
Jesus said to me, “Leave it as it is. This way people will need to search for my words and the many insights I have given you.”
I laughed at his words because I understood. If something comes too easy to us, we pay it little attention, but if we need to search out an idea or saying it tends to stick in our minds better. He knows our drives so well and knows that if something is easy to grasp, we will move on too quickly. The need to search out an idea grabs at our psyche, drives us forward, gives us a goal. This is why the bible often seems ambiguous to us and also why we will never totally understood the whole of it. Our minds are set to puzzles and the grander the puzzle the deeper our dive into it.
So one day, when my writing is discovered or rediscovered, those people will need to read the many ideas I have put there pertaining to this time we live in as they search out the many teachings and wisdom that Jesus has given me, the many travels we took, and the quotations of Jesus I have written down.
Sadly, because of these writings and my visits with Jesus, I don’t often think of him as God because he is often so manly and human when we meet to pray upon the mountain or travel, but I also know that because he is God his wisdom goes far beyond our own. He knows our inner soul much better than any of us know our self. He must see each of us as an open book. No wonder he says every life is worthy and precious. Taken as a whole, we humans are a changing and evolving encyclopedia of humans on earth.
What we do to this earth and ourselves is written in the stars.

We gathered high upon a mountain where we could see rolling green hills far below scattered with small homes and narrow streets. We stood in snow beneath an azure cloudless sky and delighted at the beauty surrounding us. I told the others, “I so deeply love the earth.”
One of my friends said, “We all do.”
We felt this love for earth as we joined hands in a circle. We had a few who hadn’t joined with us before and I told them that it didn’t matter how they chose to pray or call on God to share His great love energy with us. This is what we did. We stood together thinking on God and felt His love flow through and around us like milk and honey. It looked so pure and the love so filled me that tears came to my eyes as I watched the love flow like cream down every side of the mountain. We watched this love spread over the land to penetrate below ground and flow into every tree, building, animal, and human on the planet. A whale lifted out of the ocean to bask in its essence as it flowed into the oceans and finally all the earth was covered in God-love. We watched it eventually melt into the ground and disperse into every person and thing on the planet. One day this God energy of love will stay and linger longer the way it does on Paradise Worlds.
We next decided to revisit the last place Jesus had taken us. We let the new gatherers into the sky tunnel, and they copied us as we put our palms on its smooth surface and felt the pulse of life as we walked up and to the end. There we stepped through a transparent curtain and onto the planet with the strange trees that look like single leaves standing on end.
We learned today from our guide of that world that this whole area is a park and government center, though there are very few people left on this world. The race has grown old.
Our guide said, “By the time you humans land a ship on this planet, we will be long gone.”
This was interesting but I asked how he felt about this.
He answered, “Oh, we will be elsewhere. Not all life lives upon a planet.”
He didn’t elaborate and I didn’t think I’d understand if he did. So I dropped the subject. Instead I looked around and stepped deeper into the glass tower. It was so interesting. When I looked, even the gears looked to be made of glass.
I asked “Why build everything so you could see through it.”
He lifted his shoulders in a very human shrug, “Style?” Then he added, “Perhaps this style makes it easier to see where we want to hop through. By the time it was build, we were a very advanced race. Now, the few of us left live in small homes in the woods until we are ready to leave.”
He took us to one of the homes. By now I was loosing my concentration and it was a great effort to stay focused. I saw most of the trees looked normal but slightly narrow as if to catch whatever breeze they could and the house amid the trees just looked like any small cabin in the woods. A man stepped out of the cabin and then a women suddenly appeared next to him. To see us visitors, I think.
He must have caught my thought that the man and women were a married couple because he said, “They don’t live together. We don’t feel the need to procreate any longer.”
He didn’t seen saddened by this, rather, he seemed happy as if he were looking forward to the next step, whatever that is. This is when he told us that the single glass tower would be left for us to find one day.
“Come let me show you something else. He took us beneath the ocean of this world that consisted of only one continent to a huge glass city beneath the sea. It was now empty except for fish and sea weed. People lived here a very long time ago.
Such a beautiful city on a dying world, I thought, but Jesus corrected me. He told us that the world wasn’t dying, only that the people who had lived on it had outgrown life on their planet.
We went next to what I call Tree World because we wanted to show the new people and we were met with the small bots right away. We watched the village people for a few minutes and then climbed the mountain to visit with one of the Keepers of the World. We saw a man, very human looking, wearing white cloth wrapped around his body, sitting inside a cave that was scattered with his few belongings. He greeted us with a nod. We learned during a different visit that these Keepers watch the people through the tiny bots that look like tiny penguins or man-servants. In this way the people are kept happy. The Keeper, one of many, seemed proud of the village we had just left. I got the impression that every small village of people had a different Keeper and set of bots, but this may be wrong because I was loosing my concentration again. We said good-by to the Keeper and each of us stepped back to our own place on earth, nodding as we parted company. I thought how nice this morning meditation had been.

I am putting the play I wrote on the web site in case a church might want to put it on during lent, this year or another. The writing is complete, but adding music to the different scenes is not something I am proficient in, so the church would need to have one of their musicians choose which musical arrangements to include. I would imagine that many music minded people would love to set music in a play, especially a play about Jesus. I admit, it might take a brave church to put this play on because it is unusual.
The play shows parts of Jesus’ life as seen by the angels who were assigned to watch over him while he was on earth. God is an active member of the cast by being a golden light in the upper far right where the angels ask for advise. The angels act as mimes who show their emotions while keeping watch over Jesus. At one point, Jesus steps to the front of the stage to speak to the audience. So it is a unusual play. Still, I think it is a good one and I hope some church will decide to use it. On the last page I included my notes on costumes, etc. Here is a link to the play. The Angel Chronicles I have also put it on my home page.
Kali loves the snow

I feel philosophic this morning or deeply scientific as I dare to wonder about God’s view of the universe. So far, it is so mind boggling I can hardly imagine it. What brought it up was what happened yesterday. Sometimes a person from the future will speak to me. I can barely see them or the children with them, but I sense they are there for a few minutes. Often, when this happens, I try to show the children from the future our world through imagination or experience. Yesterday, I looked out the window and showed them the snow. Their leader told me that the children have never seen snow. I invited them to visit with me later when I took Kali for a walk on Belle Isle on the snowy road. I don’t know if they did. I wasn’t paying attention because it was too cold and I didn’t stay long.
What the angel said frightened me because it implied that all the snow was gone from the earth in their day. It isn’t hard to imagine if we continue to allow this warming to continue. I know many people think that global warming is not happening because this winter had gotten so cold. If you think about it, those of us older can remember when all winters were this cold. Winter is supposed to be harsh and freezing and every winter was 20 years ago.
We need to halt the progress of the warmth, but I don’t know how. I would put a solar panel on my home or a small windmills, or an electric car, but it is all too expensive for me. So what to do? All I can do is depend on the leaders to make the right choices. So in the end, I depend on common sense to prevail.
Still, even with the glaciers melting and the North Pole ice disappearing, many people refuse to accept that the earth is getting warmer. I truly can’t understand this. I dare not ask a person how they can still think the way they do because the words quickly get ugly on both sides. I want to show them photos of some mountains without snow, the Arctic loosing ice, etc. Ironically, the Antarctic is getting more snow in places, which scientists can’t explain, and I guess they would bounce back with this fact. Yet, isn’t there too much going on to ignore?

Personally,
I am going through a emotional change and feel the
need to avoid the pain and suffering on the news or scenes of war and fighting.
I am sick of it, so turn it off. During prayer this morning, after I met with
the others on a sunny, spring morning surrounded by green grass and blue sky, I
admitted that I did not want to go to any specific hot spots. They nodded their
understanding and had probably been though similar moods themselves. So when we
called upon God’s blessing and I felt filled with light, I helped spread it
over the earth from a far off distance, as if I were on high looking down. I
did go into the sea and hug a whale and spread the light around the water. And
then we went to a number of crowded places in South America and
I began
thinking of the harsh weather this year in the northern states, which drew my
mind to the fires in
Spring is around the next corner

I live in a culture of scientific thought, I read Scientific American and Science Daily on the web, yet, I know science is limited. It was Huxley who said that science is like a search light in the dark sky, it only searches what it can find. The rest of the dark remains blank. I thought of this as I read a good, scientific book, “What A Plant Knows” but in it he mentions a book from years ago that wasn’t so scientific, The Secret Life of Plants. This got me to thinking because, scientific or not, that book broadened my mind regarding plants and their potential.
I still think this was a good kind of learning. Anything that takes us beyond the ordinary realm to give food for thought is good for us, as most teachers would agree. This is what happens when we gather upon the mountain and send God-energy around the world. We are not using science, but our minds. The human brain and mind is more than the sum of its parts. We have been given this gift of seeing with the mind’s eye if we train ourselves to this kind of sight. When we walk through the sky-tunnel, we see an feel with our minds. We are actually sharing in the tree-ness or tree-essence from all the earth.
This brings me to a strange idea about trees. We expect them to be single entities because we ourselves are single beings and this is how we think. I am beginning to believe that the trees of earth, in essence, collectively, should be considered as one.
This idea isn’t so strange when we think of ourselves. We are made up of a billion bacteria and organs topped by a brain. One could never understand a human by looking at only one bacteria. We learn much by studying single plants but may miss important clues by not seeing them with our minds as well.
I find it hard to describe what I think science is missing? It may be this power or energy we receive from God. A God love that enhances our own potential to see and feel love all around us. This may be why positive thoughts bring positive results. God is mind in the universe. And maybe all the trees standing on the land of earth are the caretakers of this planet, the wise ones, the witnesses. We humans finally gain wisdom by the time we reach a hundred years, imagine the wisdom stored in the trees who live for hundreds and thousands of years. Imagine if all trees are one single organism that communicates by chemical or wind or other means beyond our kin. What would they say about us?
Well, some ideas seem too out of the ordinary for most people. But I have an advantage over most people, I know that in the far future the human mind will rule the day, that the lion truly will lay down with the lamb because we will suggest it do so.
