Mirrored Image 2014
I was in the new temple standing in the doorway looking out over the garden. I am 12 years old in this encounter. I had on a white dress that went to my knees. The sides of my hair were pulled back and a flower placed in the tie that held it. I was barefoot like always, I could feel the cool marble order my feet as I stood there. I walked out onto the patio and looked out over the garden. It was so beautiful, it was full of tree's and flowers I have seen before and many I had not. I walked to the edge of the patio to a stone path. I waited a moment and looked around, I didn't see anyone around so I stepped onto the path and followed it. Out a little ways was a small lake on my left. I stopped at the edge of the paved path reluctant to step on to the grass. I looked up at the lake then down at my feet. I took a step out onto the grass and stood there a moment soaking up the sensation of the cool grass on my feet. I looked up and saw the lake and made my way to it. When I got do to the lake I stood on the dirt shore and watched the water slowly move in and out from the shore just inches from my feet. I took my big toe and dipped it into the water to see how cold it was. I saw the ring my toe made ripple out from the spot in the water I touched. I felt the wind pick up and wrap around me. The breeze was warm and comforting. I closed my eye's and allowed myself to feel the sensations of the breeze. When I opened my eye's I saw the sun was setting. The sky was a mix of brilliant colors spread across the horizon. I stood there and watched this beautiful sunset. After a moment I turned and saw The Spirit standing there with a smile. He said "How are you child?" I looked at the water then back at him and said "I am alright." I moved from the waters edge back onto the grass. He stepped closer to me and placed his hand on my shoulder and asked with concern "Are you?" I looked down at the grass I was standing on and shrugged. He whispered "Child, come with me." The Spirit turned, walked up to the stone path and I followed him. When we stepped onto the path everything around us changed. I looked around me and saw nothing but the new temple in front of us. The tree's, grass, flowers, even the sky was gone. It was like the path was shrouded in a cloud of white light. He began to walk back to the new part of the temple and I followed just a few steps behind. I then began to notice new grass and daisies spring up close to the path on both sides. I stopped and looked behind me, when I did I saw massive amounts of flowers and new grass covering the actual stone path we had walked. I stepped forward towards the new growth and bent down to touch the grass. I noticed where I had been standing there was new grass and daisies on the path. I stopped a bit confused and turned to look at the Spirit. The Spirit had stopped and was watching me with a smile and asked "Why are you so surprised? Come child" So I stood up straight and I followed him. I kept looking behind me watching flowers and new grass appear in the places I had walked. When we got up to the building we went inside. The Spirit stopped just inside the doorway and stepped off to the left. I AM standing before me, he was waiting with a big smile on his face. He was dressed really nice in all white robe. It was decorated with gold threaded designs through out the robe. The robe looked like it was made from a thick material. I AM put out his elbow for me to link arms with him and whispered "Come sweet child." I hesitated a moment and then linked my elbow with his and we began to walk the hallway toward the three thrones. He walked past them. Out a ways from them a hallway appeared to my right. I AM lead me a little ways down the hall till we came to a door. I AM smiled and touched the door. It slowly opened and I saw 2 guardian angels standing just inside the doorway, they had their wings where spread out so you could not see around them. "I AM" put up his and and asked me "Are you ready" I shook my head yes and he put his hand down. the angels stepped to the side and knelt down on one knee with their heads bowed in reverence. We stepped onto a strange looking path. I AM took my hand and said "Come." we walked down this strange path that looked like glass but wasn't. You could see through it but the feel of it wasn't glass. Out in front of us was a big cloud, it was blocking us from seeing a long ways out in front of us. As we began to walk towards them the clouds separated and cleared the path as we walked. The sense I got from the moment was even the clouds bowed to I AM. When we came to the other side I saw a massive city surrounded by a tall wall. I saw angels everywhere and I heard singing all around us. We followed the path up to this massive gate, it was like something out of a fairytale. I saw kids everywhere! They were laughing and talking. I saw kids running and playing. I asked "Where are we Papa?" He looked down at me and smiled, but did not say a word. We came up to a building that was a brilliant white stone. It was massive in size and I AM touched the door and we walked through. On the other side of the door was a large room lit by candle light. I saw a large table with chairs before us, it was long and wide. I saw that there was food of all kinds on the table. I AM walked over to the table and sat down. I waited a moment and looked around the room. It was a plain room but was very large. I then followed him and sat down next to I AM. He said "Child, let us dine and remember together." He reached out and grabbed a loaf of bread, he broke it and gave me half. Half said to me "Sweet child, at my table there is plenty for you and for all." He then took two gold chalices and handed one to me and he said "My love covers all....there is no darkness in you or anyone who dine's and remembers with me." He began to drink from his cup and so I did the same. When I was finished I put the cup down and asked "Papa, are we taking communion?" He chuckled and said "Child, we are always in communion. We are one you and I." He picked up the cup and looked at it, he looked as if he was in deep thought then said "This is a reminder to you..to all. This our union between us, a never ending and unbroken bond" I looked down at the table and said "But Papa..." I AM interrupted me and said "Child look at me" I looked up at him with tears in my eye's. He reached over touched my cheek and smiled "Are you going to tell me how unworthy you are? That your dirty and ashamed?" He smiled and asked "Is that what you believe?" I shook my head yes. I AM smiled and said "Let me show you something." He got up from the table and walked across the room. I AM picked up a oval antique looking mirror and walked back over to me. I stood up and he asked "Child tell me what you see?" I stood up and walked over to him, I looked into the mirror and I saw I AM's reflection not mine. I touched the mirror with my finger tips caught off guard by what I saw. I was expecting to see my reflection, not his. I looked at him with confusion. He smiled really big and asked again "Tell me...what do you see?" I stared at the image I saw and I said "You, I see you." he put the mirror down and said "Because of my son...I can see nothing more then who I created you to be. You are a part of who I am, we child are one." I stared at the mirror a moment and said "I don't understand." I AM sat down at the table and turned his chair to face me. He took my hands and drew me close to him, so where eye to eye. He studied my face a moment then he said "You are the mirrored image of myself and who I am. I know you have heard this child, now do you see?" I said "I have heard it, many times." He then asked in a whisper "If you are the mirrored image of me, tell me how can I look at myself and say I am unworthy? That I am dirty and shameful? I can't can I?" I looked down at the floor and said "No, no you can't." He stood and lifted my chin and said "So if we are one, then how can you think those things about me? If you are my mirrored image...my echo, then how can you see yourself any less then who you really are? You are my child. You love your own children with all you are, how can you think I would love you any less? My love reaches beyond time and space, beyond your understanding. So how can you believe any different?" I began to cry and I wrapped my arms around his neck. He hugged me tight and said "Sweet child...you...are..loved."
