Susan's Experience
|
Experience description:
I
was trying to clear my mind. So much, too fast. Just diagnosed with Stage III
breast cancer, moving back to my home, job transfer to where I could get
treatment, chemo and doctor dates scheduling. I thought, I have to clear my
mind, so I started saying a prayer. I still couldn't concentrate so I started
singing the prayer (even though I can't carry a tune) in my mind. I was sitting
upright on my bed with my eyes closed. All of a sudden I saw a crack of light,
then brilliant light. Overwhelming peace and love overcame me. I smiled, how
wonderful this is, I need to do this more often I thought. I kept singing the
prayer in my flat voice. Then a bunch of angels appeared to the right of the
light. They were singing with me, but much more beautiful voices. It was like
the "dueling banjos", I was flat and they'd finish in beautiful harmony. I got
so excited I wanted to see their faces and wings and broke my prayer/singing,
and everything went back to darkness. I couldn't believe it. I was "high" for
days, telling everyone what I saw, so excited. Most folks looked at me like I'd
lost it. I didn't care. I wanted to go back. I will cherish this forever and
always pray to the God of that light. This is where the reality is, this is
what we're all supposed to strive for, love and kindness to each other. There
is no doubt in my mind now that this is where we'll go, it's all a mystery but
all so very clear, too. Light and love can outweigh darkness.

experience?
TOO LONG! Limit it to five or six questions. It's dysfunctional and
repetitive.
