A World of Dreams...

I found my self awake in a world of dreams..., dancing with my lover in a world glistening with the gaiety of crystal like, rainbow reflections.  It was a magical world blanketed with the brilliance of God's most gracious of gifts..., the gift of life. 

It was an extraordinary dream...., an enigmatic moment across the bridge of time whereupon all thoughts could be made into things, and the sound of silence was the purveyor of truth. 

Like nothing else ever seen, the bridge upon which we journeyed was not one of stone or wood, but of windows and mirrors..., and though it appeared flat from the outside, flat it was not, but carried the unusual shape of a necklace of pearls...,  yet they were not pearls, but strands of crystals, each of which carried a harmonic tone unique to its own being. 

As we walked across the bridge, it was as if we were dancing from crystal to crystal in a harmonic soliloquy of light and love.  Our journey took us deep within the heart of each crystal, and therein we saw an astonishing hall of mirrors - a collection of reflections laid out like a mosaic of tiles, each of which carried a story of its own - stories about life, and the mystical relationship between light and love.

 As we studied the mirrors, we found ourselves entwined in a web of realities, each reality reflecting a choice of possible destinies, and each destiny nothing more than a summary of choices.

The more we studied the mirrors, the more we learned, and the more we learned, the more we grew..., and in our growth, we came upon a startling realization - a realization which shattered our illusions of who we are, and what we were to become.

Unlike our wildest expectations, we discovered that, though it appeared as if we were looking outside of ourselves from within, we actually found that we were within and amidst, the cavity of our own minds, and each crystal of mirrors was in fact, the webs of creativity within the store-house of our very own imaginings.  We had taken a journey into the Universal Mind, and the truths we were discovering were astonishing.

The harmonic resonance of each crystal upon the strand, was in fact, the vibratory sound of the predominant thoughts carried by the imaginings of the mirrors within.  And, as in the life of an individual, as we chose what thoughts to identify with, the crystal began to resonate the sounds which would bring into reality the focus of our minds.  As we looked within the crystal, we saw the collection of mirrors as a collage of thoughts from which to choose, each of which when chosen, acts like a button, and when the button is pushed by individual choice, the mirror becomes a window, and through the window we can leap, and from this leap, gain the experience of the chosen illusion.

And on this day, I chose the illusion of the life of David Strauss.  As I pressed the button to begin my journey, I said goodbye to my attachment to who I am, and began the journey of the birth of a modern day warrior.
