Amazing - like the Rainbow
My life was a mess and I could blame no one but myself. Nevertheless, I was hoping for a miracle and I really got one because I was ready to change. To change what, I didn't know. But my first step was being introduced to Gladys Franklin. My second step was the course of lessons she sent me. Within a few weeks I had this amazing sleep state, (dream) which I remember like yesterday and yet it was more than thirty years ago.
It started when in sleep I found myself at the bottom of the mountain. I knew inside me that it was very, very important that I get to the top of this mountain. I started my journey and straight away a guide appeared. He told me he had food and water for my journey. I assured him I would not need it, I was not wasting time I had to get to the top, so he left.
I didn't have any idea how difficult it would be, but soon found out. The ground was small pebbles and sand. Every time I took a step forward, I slid back two. I needed to make more effort, I thought, so became more and more determined to go up. The effort made me sweat and I soon became very tired. Pouring with sweat from the effort and feeling very tired, I sat for a moment. Once again, my guide appeared. Now he told me I must have food and water, it was essential if I wanted to go on.
I didn't want to waste time, but I knew he was right. (I had a lot of stubborn pride in those days) I was very grateful for what he had given me and thanked him profusely. I was ready to go on. On and on I went up and up. I didn't notice, but the ground had become more solid, and I wasn't sliding as much, but it was still very, very steep.
After what seemed like a lifetime, I did arrive at the top. Absolutely exhausted I slumped against a rock not able to move. But something happened that I shall never, never, forget. I had this feeling inside of me of achievement, not just of getting up the mountain, but more than that, a complete peace and harmony within myself. Something I had never had before. I wanted to thank my guide, but he had disappeared. I felt so sorry I had not thanked him for his help.
When I woke the next morning I was wet through even in my physical body. Then I remembered my dream. Of course, I didn't understand everything, so dear Gladys explained it to me.
The beginning was showing my state of being at the time. The difficulties I was going through and too proud to ask for help, until I was ready to change. Then, like magic, the help came. The food and water the guide gave me was the lessons Gladys sent to me. Accepting them was the start of my journey and as more understanding came, the easier it got climbing the mountain.
The most important part was succeeding to get to the top, showing me that I would learn, I could change, and my circumstances would improve as I learned. What did I learn? That I had a past to repair, With sincerity I would become a better person, growing in patience, tolerance, compassion, truth and love. That there was no God as we know it. We and we alone are our own master. Through the causes we start, we have the effects, and that living a good life would guarantee the next one.
What a relief to find the truth of life!!!!!
