The first vision that really captured me was during the Harmonic Concordance, on November 8th of 2004.    The Harmonic Concordance was when a complete Star of David was visible in the celestial patterning of the planet’s positions. My vision began around 9:15pm, shortly after the lunar eclipse.

We had a few friends over to meditate together as this was supposed to be when the veil between worlds was thinnest in the last 2000 years and the next.  Arlene (we were just engaged then) had painstakingly drawn out the zodiac in alignment with the sky on our porch.  It was in the low 40s that night, but we all went out onto the porch to meditate.  We took our places on the zodiac chart, holding hands and “meditating”.  After a very short while, most everyone was cold and wanted to go back inside.  Arlene was kind enough to escort everyone back in and get them comfortable. 

I remained outside.

I took the meditative position I was taught in Karate when I was about 11 years old, kneeling, knees slightly spread, sitting on my feet.  I was soon filled with tremendous heat.  I stripped down to my underwear and resumed my attempt to meditate.  I remember taking one, possibly two, deep/controlled breaths.  I never shut my eyes, but I knew I went past what I understood to be the confines of reality.  I was meditating deeper with my eyes open than I ever had with them closed. 

A burst of light came from between my knees and grew to what appeared to be a geyser of bright white and pink light (energy).  It’s girth was wider than I could put my arms around.  There was mist from the geyser everywhere.  As it floated down, I noticed it was made of of tiny bubbles, each appeared to have an image within.  Some appeared to have texts, others...people, scenes from history, the future, philosophies, answers to all of the questions one might care to ask. 

All I had to do was focus on what I wanted to know and my third eye would identify the right bubble instantaneously and pull it in, as if it were magnetized.  I would then be granted understanding of that which I had inquired.  I have lived in my mind and have always expected the answers to be formulated within my mind.  Now, I know it was my ego’s mind. 

I eagerly gobbled up a great deal of information, but began to feel less interested in the information and more interested in BEing in this amazing space...BEing in the Source.  The geyser continued to rain down the mist of the ages, the mist of the universe, the mist that is.  I bathed in it.  Refreshed, renewed, comfortable, quiet, filled with love from the inside, the outside...reverberating with thankfulness.  All was as all can be and will be.  I recognized it as this and was able to embrace it.

I am not certain how long I was out there.

Since, there have been very few drawings, paintings or sculptures that have come out with the aid of my hands that lack of those magical spheres that made me question reality and sanity for so long.

November 2010

My second vision came as I was watching some videos late one night, taking a break from responding to e-mails. 

Two days before, Arlene had visited our Doctor and had received an acupuncture treatment that touched her soul.  She came out after weeping, stating that she had had a magical experience.  I hugged her later the next day and instantly saw 3 visions concurrently.  I have no idea what the visions were as they were unexpected and quick.  All I remember of the 3rd vision was very dramatic clouds in an orange sky, all projected on my suddenly-appearing drishti.

A drishti is a focal technique by which you fix your gaze on an unmoving point.  I discovered when I was very young that I could envision a point in my mind to focus on.  That way, I would have a drishti whether my eyes were closed or not.  When I was a child and found myself unable to sleep, I would allow the drishti in my mind’s eye expand and I would allow all of the thoughts that came to my mind quickly display in visual form.  I would acknowledge the thoughts and, quickly, I would be presented with another thought.  I would continue this process until my racing mind was quieted and I would be able to sleep.   It had been years since I had utilized this technique or even thought of it.

When I was watching one of the videos, I recognized how tired and stressed I was.  I closed my eyes and my drishti appeared without me manifesting or calling for it.  It was quite bright and unavoidable to recognize it’s presence, so I focused on it.  To my surprise, it did something I had never experienced.  It moved!  It started to drift of into the distance, the darkness.  Rather than question it, I observed it.  It got so far off, it appeared to be just a speck in the darkness.  Then that speck began to emanate the most brilliant light I have ever seen. 

The speck began to replicate and change shape.  As it morphed, I recognized what appeared to be a diamond with the top spinning one direction and the bottom spinning the other.  It was throwing stars from the 4 primary vertices and stardust from the zones between, forming and amazing array of stars and galaxies.  The stars started moving toward me.  Slowly at first, then very quickly.  I recognized that, if stars, they were moving at thousands or millions of light years per hour.  I was not concerned that any of the stars would hit me as they hurtled to me.

The diamond-shaped light began to move toward me, as well.  First slowly, then it grew brighter as it grew closer and accelerated until it hit engulfed me and filled my third eye.  As soon as I was overwhelmed with the light, I found myself in the presence of two amazing beings.  I/we were in a space, not a room, not inside, not outside, but a space.

They were beautiful; with androgynous, slightly effeminate features; luminous, bright white skin (like an eggshell in sunlight), really large and beautiful eyes & nicely shaped lips that never spoke.  I saw them from the waist up.  They had no navels, breasts or nipples.  They may have had arms or they may have been implied.  They shown like incandescent light bulbs, but more gently and controlled.  There was a golden aura all about them.

I didn’t want to say or think the wrong thing.  I sat quietly.  They eventually began to communicate with each other.  They nodded at each other and blinked gently at each other as if they were talking.  They looked at me.  I was actually expecting they would communicate telepathically.  I expected to hear sentences in my mind or to have them communicate in a way that we could slowly learn to understand each other.  Ha!  I had it so wrong.

Imagine that a book is a piece of paper, a thought is a piece of paper, as is a philosophy, a memory, an understanding.  They were handing me folders of papers at a time.  Not literally, but in quick uploads.  They took information from me in a very similar manner.  We were communicating in bundles of understanding.  A lifetime of synthesis analyses, generated abstractions and interpretations transferred and shared in moments. 

As these uploads and downloads occurred I recognized that information from all of the disciplines and philosophies I have studied came colliding together in truth.  That which was created to deceive fell away and many things I had wondered about became clear.  I soon recognized that they were sharing amazing truths of the universe and I formulated three very important questions which I posed to them with all earnestness and curiosity. 

Then it happened, they communicated an intelligible sentence: “It’s not in the knowing, it’s in the BEing.  BE love.”

That hit like a log to the head in cold weather. I’ve spent my life in my mind, trying to understand my heart, my senses, my purpose.  Were they telling me that all the research and introspection I have done means nothing?  I listened and tried my best to BE. I came to understand that what is, is and that what I’ve done has purpose.  My purpose now, was to BE.  The light around me massaged my consciousness as I focused on BEing love. 

They began to communicate again.  I learned that, for now, I am to be eating only raw foods and  came to understand that, for me,  hard liquor cancels out/impairs the frequency of love.  They questioned me in many arenas of my life, knowledge and experience.  When I shared what was within me, they shared understandings that have changed my life and, I expect, will impact me forever.  This space I was in seemed more real than the reality I have known for these 40 some years.  It was if it was reality and life is just a classroom; something to participate in, observe, contemplate and share.

As it began to feel they were wrapping up, I asked them what I was supposed to do with all of this amazing information.  Who was I supposed to share it with?  How should I apply all of this in my life?

They replied, again, in an intelligible format I recognized:  “It’s not in the doing, it’s in the BEing.  BE love.

What I came to understand during our conversation, was that by BEing love...all I needed to understand would be available and shared with me and that by BEing love...doing would be unavoidable.

Oh yeah...the three terribly important questions I had for them?  I have no idea, it’s not important.  What is important is BEing love.
