Picture: Based on Sri Yukteswar’s writings; Sat Chit Ananda are the eternal qualities of God: Being, Consciousness, and Bliss. From the Light of God, Kutastha Chaitanya (Christ Consciousness) and the sound-vibration of Aum (Amen) manifest Kal (time), Desh (space) and Anu (partical/atoms that make up material creation).
It is thrilling to get updates from aspirants describing the spiritual work they are doing, and especially so when some special insight or vision is had that brings resolution to a long term problem, doubt or question. I thought I would include this email I received from Charmie that closely reflects a vision God had once given to me (this is used with permission and with minor edits). The reasoning mind is simply not big enough to get answers to some questions; only through intuition (in this case a Superconscious dream) can we get a glimpse into the gigantic dimensions of this creation and how it really is His play, and that it really is perfect.
Dear David,
During our Bellingham Service on Wednesday we listened to your talk you gave at Rick and Judy’s. What a surprise to hear the title, The Needle and the Magnet. Because, last Friday night I had a dream, one of those wonderful ‘real’ dreams.
Let me preface this, I have been having a conversation with God about the state of the world: the wars, and starvation, and hatred, etc. I told Him that I understand He has a plan, but it seems so chaotic and ugly from here. And this was His response, it came to me in the best way for me, when I am “unconscious to the world,” i.e. sleeping.
I saw the universe black, with swirling lights and movement all around. Then I went further out, to the non-universe (?), and watched the black movement. I saw there was a center, not a black center, but a Golden Light Center–it was definitely a magnet. All of the universe created a pattern, it was the same as you see when you lay a magnet in the middle of iron filings. In this case the ‘filings’ were actually moving. We are all those iron filings, and God is the Magnet; not only individual people, but the planets, the stars, the empty space, all. We were going toward God on the one end, and then being propelled away from God at the other end, and the loop kept going. We were drawn to the Center, then propelled out into seeming chaos, and as it came back in toward God it became more orderly, and narrow. The funny thing was that when the one section (Was it a universe?) was going in, another was going out. It was a beautiful dance of little iron filings around the Center. And the chaos helped to create the dance as much as the orderly parts. Do I understand this with my mind? No. Does my heart and soul understand and see the beauty? Yes.
I just had to share this because of your talk about magnetism.
Thank you for Being David, and for Serving.
Om Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram – Victory!
