I dreamed I was pulled up and out of my body that was laying there asleep in bed.
With dizzying speed I was mysteriously pulled far out into space, with the earth behind me growing smaller and smaller, passing the moon by and heading into the star-filled depths.
I knew not where I was being pulled toward with such increasing velocity. Strangely, I wasn't frightened.
Then in the far distance ahead I saw a small light that was not a star, growing bigger and bigger as I drew nearer and nearer, traveling toward it with increasing velocity.
But then as I grew nearer, as I approached this Great Light the speed of my travel began to slow.. ever slower and slower, almost like coasting in to a dead stop until I came face-to-face with this huge Light unlike anything I had ever seen before. A Light that did not blind...
There I was stopped still.. gently floating there in the vasty deep of space, stripped of all pretense..holding onto nothing... facing this magnificent egg-like shaped of living Light Energy.
Then.. something even more miraculous happened.
I heard a Voice "speak" directly to me, and the Voice now inside my mind did put to me a singular question as It ask:
And in that moment of Light bathing my soul I realized that in all the years of my living I had done nothing to help.. nothing save that of helping myself from beginning to end.
Then, with a deafening roar like that of a great waterfall all happening for several seconds inside my head, I opened my eyes to find myself again in bed where I had always been, now wide awake and wondering what had just happened.
For hours afterwards I suffered with a pounding headache.
Even now, after so many years of having that most memorable dream, I have yet to answer my own question as I continue to wonder.
