When I read the newspaper, I can’t help remember the time when Jesus took me to the dark well. I remember it vividly: We stood in darkness and watched ghost people struggle to climb out, many made it. One man came towards me and I tried to turn him towards the light, turn him to look at Jesus who was shinning brightly as he stood by my side. The man acted as if he were blind to the light and kept walking past. I even tried to touch him to direct him towards the light but it didn’t work because my hand went right through him. I felt helpless and could only watch as people climbed out of the well and began to walk in various directions, but never towards the light.
Jesus said, “They can’t see the light.”
At that time, I didn’t know what I was seeing. Now I realize that I was watching evil spirits climb out of that deep dark well, so dark and deep Jesus warned me not to go too close. So now I wonder if these blind spirits try to take over people’s minds and bodies. If I could, I would warn everyone to hold fast and not allow it to happen, don’t let yourself be taken over by those beings of little worth from the dark pit.
Regardless, it seems to me that we are catching them and
sending them back to where they came from. Such evil and the acts it causes does not belong in a good world or city. I beg those
youngsters who feel mixed up to hold together for a little longer, don’t fall
pray to the evil taunts and temptations. Pass on that offer of dope.
I watched the series
on Frontline about solitary confinement and prisons in
Sometimes, with enough intervention, people have been
turned around, but too many people don’t seem to care or want to pay for it.
People prefer paying after the fact. Imagine a society where every single child
is given such a bountiful of love they would never choose to turn away from the
light. I can’t criticize too strongly because I didn’t love enough either being
too young a mother and too self centered, but aren’t half the people on the
planet young? So my perfect society seems impossible, but that doesn’t stop us
from striving for that perfect world.
Spring is here

This morning we climbed up to the
top of the world and as everyone stood in a circle, I lifted up into the sky to
see us gathered together as from afar. We looked like tiny motes, dark against
the white snow and sharp gray peaks. But then God filled us and our spirits
expanded to become as huge as one of the side mountains
we stepped down and away from like walking down stairs. Filled with joy and
love, we went about the world sharing this bountiful spirit God had provided
for us. I went to various young people and believe I gave a moment pause and
hope to each. I also went to a mother and father in distress and worry. I
remembered such times myself when I didn’t know what
to do. I tried to reassure them they would make it through the bad periods that
time really does heal. I sent as much spiritual help to them as I could,
likewise the young men and girls. I told Jesus who walked with me that I would
feel satisfied if just one person felt the spirit of God each time I meditated.
Jesus’ smile assured me that what we do does actually help, and he reminded me
that many angels have joined us in our walk around the world. All of us
together in prayer can’t help but turn some people towards God.
I ended my meditation this morning with pleasant thoughts that my life isn’t useless after all because I do have something to contribute.

As I paused singing the song in church this morning, I looked to the side and read the last phrase of another song. “But God made something beautiful of my life.” It suddenly struck me how true this was for me. I owe it all to Jesus and his encouragement and advice. Yes, though I often struggled to walk the other way, Jesus wouldn’t let me flounder on the wrong path for very long. Yes, God made something beautiful of my life.

I was laying in bed thinking about the monarch butterfly. I’d recently watched the Nova program about their long migration. It seemed to me that most of us don’t hurt butterflies and I supposed it was because of their delicate nature and beauty seems to inspire tenderness in all of us.
Jesus spoke to me at that moment saying, “Just like your souls.”
I was startled by his words and began to wonder what they
implied. He didn’t elaborate or say anything else so I was left to my own
thoughts on the matter. Did he mean all souls or some souls? Did he mean no
matter what happens to us our soul stays pure? Or did he mean, like the
butterflies, not every soul makes it through the long journey?
I don’t have answers to these questions but think
Shakespeare may have been right in saying we are all actors on a stage. Perhaps
it is our souls that take on the life character for its time slot only to leave
the stage when the job is done. A nice idea with multiple
implications and possibilities.
One thing I do know: There is a place beyond matter where God and his messenger angels reside. I know this because two angels grabbed my shoulders one evening and carried me through to such a place to stand before God. The experience was so awesome I still can’t describe it adequately. Science can study facts and physical matter all it wants, but I doubt it can ever study the place where I was taken that night.

This evening as I sat in my swing I talked to Jesus about Paradise Worlds. I thought about the many playful people I’d seen on those perfect worlds.
“You say they have goals too, like we do but I can’t imagine them. What would they strive for? Are their goals trite?”
Jesus smiled, “Both trite and
serious as well. You know that some people from paradise worlds send
encouragement and aid throughout the universe. Something else you should know
about the people from such worlds. They are not held down on them like humans
to earth.”
I imagined they traveled like Jesus
and I but he explained it differently.
“They reside in God and are filled
with God so completely that they can also ride the currents of God’s thought,
both as physical and spiritual beings.”
“Like angels?”
He laughed, “It is more than you can
understand right now.”
I felt like a humble child at his words, but didn’t mind. Earth is still in its early stages of becoming. What will humanity be a million years from now? I can not imagine.
“Can we go someplace I can understand, like Nexus?”
With the thought, we stepped into the sky and stood upon a
clear moving panel with sides and floor like an escalator without stairs plus
so many different walkways moving across and down and up and sideways it was
confusing. I narrowed my view to include only the people riding by who were all
very human-like, dressed in colorful clothing. I can
hardly describe the beauty of the people’s costumes and colors because it was
hard to concentrate. One Lady wore a
stone that glowed. Another man wore a huge red cloak. I saw a man with a pitch
black face beneath a white hood. He didn’t look around and kept to himself
which didn’t surprise me because I knew he was from the strange white world
Jesus and I visited once.
Finally, I looked up from the people floating by and was
amazed by the setting of the stairs. It looked as if we were moving inside a
diamond with the stars and universal colors reflecting off surface walls and
stairs.
I asked Jesus, “Why don’t these people move in the universe like us. Why use Nexus.
He said that the people wanted to move in their physical bodies from one place to another for their own purposes. Most of these people are not from paradise worlds, but very technically mature planets.
I didn’t see anyone carrying cargo, just groups of people, no baggage.
“None is needed. There is very little trade between worlds in this sector of the universe.” Jesus said.
I supposed that each world must be self sufficient.
Then a strange thing happened. I had been noticing a bright green glow off to my right. And now I saw that it was moving towards us. The greed glow now looked like a million sapphires gathered into a cluster and growing larger.
I wondered how this could be until I realized that the Nexus itself was not stationary but moving between galaxies or clusters or something.
Jesus smiled his agreement. This Nexus exists in a specific area of the universe where the people are very mature but still technological. This was enough for me to take in for one evening. Our talk and travel probably lasted five minutes or less, but as I try and remember and write everything down it seems to be taking a longer time to write. I doubt that these small trips have any baring on our world today and perhaps have no purpose except pleasure and knowledge for its own sake. I think Jesus is as pleased to show me around as I am to go wandering.

We traveled to a highly industrial planet today. It was a small planet with only 1 ocean and one large continent. The first thing we saw was a giant white building standing by itself in the middle of a gloomy fog setting. We watched machines on tracks go underground from the building and followed them. They went very deep and when we got to what I think was the bottom we saw all kinds of machinery and people amid pipes and rails and all manner of stuff I don’t know how to describe. We kept floating over this activity center for a long ways until we came to an underground garden. It had green trees and plants beneath a ceiling of high lights. The garden had a lake near its center with paths weaving in and out around the lake and its greenery. It was obviously a park
“Why is it underground?” I though it upsetting that people would create a park inside a rock cave.
Jesus explained that the air was so
dirty above ground that only waste plants would grow. That the people, who
seemed ok even though they had to live and work underground, did not stop the
pollution in time, pollution that began with their parents and grandparents.
At one point, we entered a long green house filled with hundreds of vegetables and I assume fruits. I felt saddened that they could not go outside to enjoy a Spring breeze or feel the warmth of the sun.
We lifted out of the ground and I saw many tall buildings
clustered here and there but few of them had windows. The explanation was
simple; who wanted to look outside and see such a drab, gray landscape.
Greenery seemed totally lacking although I did see clumps of greenish yellow in
the distance and a few domes atop some of the taller buildings. We went back to
ground level and I saw a huge dome that was green because it was a giant park
with tall trees, it also had a lake in its center with a lot of flower beds and
walk ways.
When Jesus led us to one glass dome sitting on land that
had a huge crack on top with much of the space open to the air outside. Some people were walking around inside the dome. They wore
protective clothing and a glass shield that covered their face. They seemed to
be looking for something. Jesus took us to a corner and pointed.
“This is what they are searching for. They will find it.”
We saw a group of really tiny greenish plants next to a rock that seemed to be thriving, even in the bad air. They were slightly protected by the glass wall nearby.
Jesus told us that it would take another hundred years before the people living here could go back outside and live upon the land. In the meantime, they lived a hugely industrial existence. I imagined that when it happened some people wouldn’t be able to adjust to the outside world even when it became possible again. We get used to our cages, don’t we. I thought of Mars and how one day we humans would go there and also need to live underground. Well, at least, now I know it is possible.
Later, Jesus told me the planet I saw was earth. I felt disappointed and dismayed. We have the potential to prevent this global climate change but not the will. I can see it now: The rich and powerful building ships to escape the results of a raped earth, a rape they refused to stop or recognize. I see riots ahead one day far in the future. I hope I am gone by then. Or did I see something else? Why was there only one ocean and one continent? Maybe because that was all I noticed? Jesus is silent as I speculate. There is a lesson here someplace if we would heed it.
