One Foot In

Recently I had a dream or a vision of heaven. We, still not living fully in that Realm, didn’t realize that glory covered us like a garment of Light. We walked in our humanity unaccepting of our divine nature being made in the image of God. I caught a glimpse of the shining light of glory that God sees us not only enveloped in, but in fact being made of light itself. We are Light Beings reflecting all the glory of the Godhead. Before I was rudely awoken by His enemy in that state, I glanced further and saw heaven with every blade of grass covered in that same wonderful brilliancy, shining forth and leaping up within it fully aware of their own individual lives of glory.
Last night….pre-dawn… I had another foretaste of life in our true Reality. This time I was clearly inside the City of God. I was engaging with an enormous plant that reminded me of some of the oversized Philodendron I experienced in the rainforest jungles of Belize. This variety was variegated; the lighter parts of the giant leaves were not merely colored lighter but were lit from within and bathed in warm light.
As I have so often done on Earth, suddenly becoming aware of “another” I stopped and spoke to her- she felt female to me. I have always sensed the life force arcing out from the natural world, when I have taken a moment to attune to it. But here in heaven it is effortless. The moment I “saw” deeply into the beauty of this plant, she leapt up rising a bit higher into the fullness of herself and with wide leaves waving like a hundred little hands, she spoke back. The beautiful plant arched and bowed, and took me in with the warmest of welcomes. I have no memory of our interaction verbally. I saw myself in vision engaging with her, reaching into the field of her love she was extending to me and being engulfed in a circle of light with her as we interacted with one another.
I felt such a sense of delight in my spirit that heaven should be just this. Everything in this great Realm that I have seen so far is charged with the most spectacular beauty, vibrant energy and full of inner light. The plants and grass move and have their being within the vast glory of it, as do we. It is not only very lovely, but the vibration of energy contained in and around us is revitalizing to exist in here. There is no lack of energy, no fatigue. It is as it should be; this was the way it was here on earth before the Fall of man.
In my essay called “One” I have already experienced the family community of an orchard I planted, where I was allowed to have my eyes opened, and to feel and see their life-force, entering into the vibratory field they exist in with one another. I was welcomed into their unity and glory that memorable twilight hour, into their very family, by telepathic transmission passed to me by one delicate little plum tree. She was the least of all the great trees in the orchard and had experienced the shame of seeming non productivity, thwarted in her attempts at yielding fruit by a cruel frost that raped her of her efforts year after year. Yet it was she that chose to breach the Deep Silence that most of nature appears to be shrouded in, and “speak”. The experience was so lovely, so touching as I captured instantly her experience and feelings. Afterwards I came inside and wrote it as though it were channeled, the “spell” unbroken for quite some time. She began to teach and show me Reality. These visions expand on her original work. It is true that all of nature conspires together to advance our understanding of Truth; to remind us who we are and what we possess in the larger family of the natural world around us.
There is much we are missing here, much we are not seeing. The Kingdom of God is here now, Jesus said. It is at hand, and it is also within us. That doesn’t mean to say that this Realm will not morph into all its fullness at some later date, but to separate it out now and say that heaven is “there” and we are “here” is nonsense.
As the days on Earth darken in the future with famine and war, we can choose to claim and live within our Reality as children of the Most High God now-today. There is more than many of us know. We need to wake up, have our eyes opened and see things as they really are. We walk in the light of His glory. All of nature lives and moves within this same light.
Nature is beginning to bridge the gap of enmity and learn to live in peace with one another. There has been a plethora of images coming over the internet of polar bears playing with dogs, groups of animals sleeping together that are normally not friendly with one another; images of dogs raising abandoned baby squirrels, of deer playing with rabbits. We cannot fail to see that all of creation is straining for that day when we can enter into our Reality fully. That veil between realities is becoming so thin now that I am “seeing” through more often, and hearing as well. But those visions and experiences hearing the music of heaven are for another day.
Pray for eyes to see and ears to hear. It is a unique time in Earth’s history, a very exciting time of change. Reality is barely able to remain concealed, at least for those of us that already inhabit our dual Reality (Holy Scripture says we are “seated in the heavenlies”) and have asked that “the eyes of our hearts be enlightened”, as Apostle Paul prayed in advance over us to experience.
As I write, a sickle moon passes to the west as the sun will soon begin to rise. I woke well before dawn to write this vision. If you are awake at this hour, go outside and listen. Soon all of nature will wake and the worship will ensue. We think we are advanced and that our development is impressive indeed. But the lowly ones of the world, the plants and the animals among us, are attuned to their Reality and celebrate it in song, in voice, in movement every morning and every evening. They know their Source and delight in it. They are aware where their Life springs from and the glory that they live, move and have their being within. May we be teachable, seeing with the eyes of the heart the Light of Glory that surrounds us all – the natural world included, and sustains us all.
