Besides meeting Who is referred to as God the Father, I also met Who is referred to as the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit revealed to me that the Catholic Eucharist is Jesus.
This was/is God’s Way of letting me know, not just believe, that Jesus is not merely a prophet but God-Incarnate.
God has had this Plan since before creation and it is unfolding before our very eyes and God’s Plan will come to Fruition.
Tom,
. Thank you for your intimate post. Back in 1974 I had a most profound vision, a mystical experience, if you will, which was beyond all ordinary human occurrence, at least in my life. I had been deeply praying and fasting for a month, truly seeking the Lord, when on night, late, on the way to my room, something stopped me. I had a certain distinct intimation that something “out of the ordinary” was to happen that night.
. I gave it no further thought, for I was so very tired, and only had four hours to sleep. Having fallen asleep around midnight, I suddenly awakened, perhaps about 2 am. The room in which I slept was illumined. As my eyes were open and I was definitely conscious, I first looked up at the sole light in the ceiling, which was not on. Following the Light to Its Source was the luminous Figure of a Being, radiant in the purest Light, but Whose features I could not describe while I definitely perceived the folds of His garment stretching to the floor, and His feet beneath.
Code:
. For perhaps 5 or 10 seconds, the vision lasted, and suddenly He was gone. Needless to say, I was moved to the depths of my soul, arose from my bed, and hoped to find someone suitable to confide in. The person I spoke to simply expressed the idea that it must have been Jesus, or an Angel, but I did not feel comfortable to put such a label on the One Whom I saw, for I truly did not know.
. This never happened again, although over the years I did have a few recurring dreams of the Figure Whom I believe was my special Visitor. I have shared this with perhaps no more than a dozen people in all this time, yet somehow find myself sharing this with you here and at this time, for the spirit leads me to do so. Perhaps there is some reason for it, or that it be intended for some reason.
. Such things are normally kept private, you know, as they are meant for our own benefit. Yet on some rare occasion, in sharing this with another, I’ve met a few who have had something to share similarly with me which is truly out of the ordinary and has so affected their life as this has mine. It has led me, no doubt, to my current beliefs and understanding of God and has illumined for me a path which has provided me with the answers I needed and the direction for my life and beliefs.
. May God bless and confirm you in your spiritual journey.
. Most sincerely,
. Dale
PS It was nearly 6 years later that I had an encounter in the home of a certain soul, in the corner of his living room was a photograph of a most noble Figure. Upon seeing this photo, I was riveted to the floor where I stood, my eyes transfixed upon His image.
. Finally, I blurted out: “WHO is that?!!?” My host, upon seeing that something was happening with me, studied my eyes for a long moment, and began telling me Who the Person in the photographs was: Abdul Baha, the Son of Baha’u’llah, the Prophet Founder of the Baha’i Faith.
. He then proceeded to tell my of a significant dream he had once had in which Abdul Baha guided him to a certain house in another town, up a side street. The next day, unfamiliar with the town (they were desperate to find a home to live in, as his new job depended upon their moving), they were almost out of time, very frustrated, when suddenly, they drove past the street. Turning, and proceeding down this same street, there was the house in the dream. Low and behold, it was for rent, and suited to their needs.
. Others, he recounted, had similar tales to tell of sacred encounters. Though few in number, over the years, I met 3 or 4 who shared something of the same extraordinary experiences.
