THIS vision of heaven shows me how important CREATIVITY is---whether in "art", or in the greater ART, of living day by day...for EVERY act, can be a creative action! -----for I feel that any creative action, done through LOVE...is the highest action that can be done in SOUL-EXPRSSION...HERE ON EARTH, OR IN THE HEAVENS!! This, surely, is the very upper boundry, of the individual soul, right up next to the realms of the Celestial worlds...where Spirit-Christ-God...is home in! It is said.."ye shall be as gods"...or, "we are to be CO-CREATERS, with God".-----for "creativity"..is at the very door, of these Celestial realms.
During the 1980's,.... I had this Vision.I would call it a "near-Death experience"or "out of body", experience!!....because Spirit took me to a realm of heaven itself-first person!!! I was there....for real! I saw what the "natives", who live there, see! Even PAUL, of the Bible,says..."someone was taken by spirit,out of the body, and taken to the THIRD heaven" -- 2nd Corinthians 12 vs. 1-4.
I seemed to follow a particular person, followed his progress, in heaven, immediately at-and after he died! I was right by his side...as IF I WERE that person.....in a "auto-biography" of months of living there. so---I will use the "first person I", here...as if i WERE that person, in order to simplify things! vision begins---I awake, in a daze..there is confusion about me...a couple of attendant-type people are trying to hustle me from my bed and up onto the floor---from the bed where i was evidently sleeping. they throw my clothes over me and push me out into the hall and then out of the building---which NOW appears to be an "old folks home"--a nursing home....they bring others out too---all in a daze, also...we muddle in the front yard, only to see a approaching BUS come up....it pulls up, with people on it, already, coming from some other place---it comes from somewhere???. five or six of us are pushed onto this bus. it starts up and moves on down the road---i get a window seat---i sit there VERY dazed, for some reason---watching the scenery go by. however, the bus begins a slow slow climb up a very steep hill---the air turns instantly to FOG! all i see, is fog, outside---then i fall back to sleep.----i awake with a vivid jolting start!...the bus is AT the top of the hill---and the sky is a VERY VERY vivid blue...light piercingly blue...and the grassy fields look as a very green golf course..lush and green. i see a fence and a gate across the fields and road;;this gate opens up by itself, to let the bus through....the bus goes on, a bit, along a road---lined with very "putting green" green short grass. the whole scene looks like a English meadow, on a "best day of the summer"! the sky even seems more vivid then before. everything looks as like "the just after a cool refreshing rain, after a hot day!"---i see a large, but low slung building, in the distance; the bus stops in front of it, and we all are herded out....onto the parking lot....we are greeted, by some person.....i recall someone taking me by the arm and directing me into the building and to a room---my room-to-be!....my room, for the stay. I am then told, "the rules"---this place is called "THE YOUNGER CENTER"---one grows physically, bodily, younger here. i must have given my guide a startled look...he repeats---that people , as they take full advantage of all the wonderful SOUL-GROWING programs, here---they grow younger in age!!!.....and in fact, i am told...that this center is where one FILLS OUT all those dimly awakened dreams-of-creative-longings-forgrowth:but-were-not-done...while one was still living upon earth. [[like a remedial school class, for the classes missed]].
I then followed my subject...around this very large building. a man came up to me, saying that he was in his 80's, when he died. but, now he looked in his 30's!!!! i could see that there were much activity, going on about me. Soon, I met with Counselors who showed me the GREAT number of things to do, here. People here, searched out, in their lives-on-earth-before-they-died, each and every "seed" of some creative act or expression, that they never got around to develop and grow into manifestation. thus, i did some Directed introspection, of my life...and found numerous places in it, where i never got around to actually live out something....something of the soul...too busy, or too too wrapped up in what most "practical" people call "living"!
I went to many classes. i cannot remember them---but they all helped to "flesh out" my Soul. the MOST very important thing, that i saw, in this learning ,was-----the seeds of creativity had to be planted in the heart, whilst one was still on earth---everything that one became INTERESTED IN, is such a seed!!---while one is still living on earth. Thus, i saw that i could have, while still living back there...could have followed up my every little idea and interests, upon anything which touched my Soul....at least many things DID touch my Soul, even if i did not have the time or the inclination, to nurture and grow these seeds of Soul-creativity! But, here at this "YOUNGER CENTER" (as they called it, here)....it is NOT TOO LATE!!! In fact they tell me, here...that i MUST sprout all these creativity-seeds...before i can progress onward, into the further, higher, heavens. I took many many classes.poetry. art. ceramics...i remember not what....and , i could actually SEE my face and body grow PHYICALLY younger!!! my old-man-face..grew to look 50...then 40...then even in my 20's!!! i was now feeling and looking like i was in my late 20's!! [maybe that is why creative old people look young, for their years!!!---here on earth!!!!]
-------one day, the instructors took me on a "field trip"---i was taken out into the parking lot...and i and several others got into a "golf cart"...the driver took it off down the road, BACK toward the gate that the bus came originally in, through...but this cart suddenly took to the air--flying, six feet of the ground!---and the gate opened by itself, and we went through---i could see a SEA of clouds---like as if i were on top of a high mountain-cliff; the valley filled with clouds. we flew down into the clouds. soon, the cart emerged from out of the bottom of the clouds---much like a plane would fly down through a thin layer of clouds--descending to earth---as we now WERE descending. however,,,the sky was black with NIGHT, when the cart emerged from the cloud underside!! it was night-time...and way down below us, i could see a rain swept road. there was a accident---i could see the wrecked cars, the red lights of police and ambulances. the cart pulled right up to this messy scene...no one, there, apparently, could see us . i could see a sheet-draped body, lying on the ground---someone was killed, in this accident...BUT----beside the sheet, there was a young lady standing. she stood there in a VERY DAZED STATE!!---- [[she was the soul-body, of the killed girl, under the sheet!!!]]----i even SAW...that this cart and even ME...moved right through the police car, fire trucks, and crews as if they were GHOSTS!!! -----but the GIRL was as solid as the cart!!...as we picked her up ,and put her into the back of it...and we flew back up into the black cloud rain sky---only to shortly emerge back into the very bright blue sky, of heaven---and, yes, back through the automatic gate...back to the parking lot...where some attendants carried her inside....yet another soul fetched to HEAVEN!! she was brought to the Center, much like I was; except by a different means.
[[ i recall OTHER visions of these heavens, over the years...i have seen/been shown--------a vast center of HEALING,of healing of the very soul, of incoming new arrivees..who ,on earth, could not live a spirit-filled life, and thus DAMAGED their souls.-------from the roof of this healing center, i saw a huge temple. they told me it is the (a) "temple of prayer"...where prayers from earth, are read by the angels and angelic spirits...to be sent on to God..NO PRAYER FALLS BETWEEN THE CRACKS AND GETS LOST OR IGNORED!!---------a vast one mile sized building called, they told me, "the Veteran's reuniting center"...(i think)...where the people who just arrived, after dying..can find and meet their relatives/friends, who died before them....but this building could ALSO be a center for veteran's of earth's wars!!-----i saw a whole group of spirits progress onto a higher heaven....i saw a "town" constructed by Spirit, just to receive the new arrived dead..so they could be made comfortable.]]
-----now...very shortly after, someone came to my room, to tell me that i and several others were now GRADUATES of this lower heavenly world...and that the new assignment is now given to us--- to progress onward, the next level, of heaven[[like "the next level of development]]---a man came up to us and took us into the front yard. i could see he had all kinds of papers and forms!!----we are to be posted and sent to "BHRARTA LAND"!!--[[i recall, that this is the name for the spiritual "lands-of-heaven"--that is of ancient INDIA!!---this is the heaven of India]]...we are led to a place in front of a small hill, under a flawless bluesky..other helpers gathered near this hill, and begun to sing some HYMMS!!!...nothing occurred!!---just the hymns, and the PEACEFULL countryside, the helpers, and maybe 3 or 5 of us-who-are-to-go.....ALL OF A SUDDEN---a small pinprick of light flashed just at the top, 6 feet above the top, of the ten foot hill....this point began to grow---much like a tv set turned off; BUT IN REVERSE!!!...soon, the ball of light was several feet in diameter, and it grew into a BRIGHT-LIT CLOUD--lit up from within...and then this cloud resolved into a ten foot diameter wide, opening, in a SOMEWHERE!!!....[[a hole in space, this is...a hole into a higher dimension!!]].....out of this door, came several attendants---leaders and helpers. these helpers i found to be SHOCKING(!!!)---FOR THEY WERE DRESSED IN VERY ANCIENT GARB..so radically different from anything of THIS time and age...that i can see, that in NO WAY could have i got this dream, from material present in my own subconscious memory]]----this door LOOKED to open into a very long tunnel of light...a corridor to INdia-land!!...a tunnel, like in the "2001" movie!!!....this amazing dream ended, as I was pushed into this tunnel---and pushed so ,,that i was moving at a very high speed...BUT, i could see, on my right, a FOREST of trees!!..i flew passed them....I tried to make sure that i do not TOUCH even a SINGLE leaf!!!{{{ I learned later, that this forest is one's "FOREST OF MEMORY"---each tree, each leaf, even...is a PERSONAL memory-of-earth, a memory that HAS to be let go of, in order for one to go on to the next higher realm of heaven. by this, i mean "detach", not "forget"! }}}}........at that point, the vision ended, ---i flew off at high speed, to India-land...but there WAS a hint given me, at the very last moment of the vision-awareness...that the "younger center"...and the tunnel to India-land---were CREATED..and maintained...by some VERY high spirits---from the CELESTIAL level of the heavens,,,,the GOD realms....where LOVE is the way...and where ALL the progressive "heaven-ladders-to-ascend-to-higher-beingness.....are created and operated......i actually SENSED a presence of a GREATSPIRIT FORM...over the top of this whole tunnel, directing it...[ I gather from this, that all of the lower heavens are created and maintained, by high spirits and Angels and Emissaries of the Lord, himself-----by INFERENCE..our lives here on earth , are likewise SUPPORTED and upheld, by Guides--Angels--and other God-enfranchised beings. the human race and YOU,READER OF THIS VISION, are in Very Good Hands!!!!
>From this...I see--------the more creative we are, now, here on earth..the Further along we will be, upon our arrival, in heaven. AND...you. and..I WILL arrive there, in heaven, upon our earthly death. we all will "grow younger"...at some Center or school or temple. Thus...i SALUTE all of you all...the Creative people, who say "yes", to life and its possibilities for Soul-Self expression. you are already part way there, in your growing of your Soul.
so.
Be creative. make Art, your life! do, think, feel--with IMAGINATION and with SPIRIT.may Spirit infuse everything that you touch..do think..feel!!
