From Death to Life ~ A Quantum Leap!

From Death to Life ~ A Quantum Leap!

Part I

The Spirit beckoned to my spirit

and encouraged me

to step outside of Time

and without wings.

I flew at lightning speed,

observing the city below me,

the evening hour

as time, now beneath me,

showed its approach 

to the quarter hour …

And observing again …

dimensions opened up to me

beyond my comprehension.

Ageless Beings,

I did not know them

and yet it seemed I did,

though they bore no resemblance

to the stories I had learned

from Grandma’s knee,

and then through school,

and college,

theology,

Military Chaplain’s School,

and more.

I had no doubt that I was

outside Time.

I heard a whisper …

Don’t be alarmed

You accept I AM the Creator

If I create

then I create everything

and that includes Time

Consider again that ancient line

“Times Time and Half Again …”

Thus We stand outside Time

We look on

We enter Time

We step outside again

as befits Us

Understand this basic concept

and much will immediately

fall into place

Nothing is by chance

All is deliberate

Carpentry

Engineering

Every conceivable thing

you can think of

has its origins in Us

Pure Energy … you might call it

Part II

I was challenged as I’ve never 

been challenged before …

All around me evidence of that

which I had subscribed to fairy tale … myth …

And that which I had argued as pre-existing

did not exist at all

That which I had bought as truth

turned out to be fairytale … myth …

… albeit with good intention …

For men’s minds

could not at the time of writing

explain things to the people

or even to themselves

in any other way

There are many lifetimes

it seems to me,

I mused …

And I was not corrected

There are many journeys

I mused afresh.

And again …

I was not corrected

Part III

It is an extraordinary circumstance

to stand upon the roof of the world,

to look down upon the Universe

and yet, in countless dimensions,

simultaneous and co-existing

but rarely touched by the other,

seeing myriad lives,

recounting myriad memories,

memories stretching back centuries

and crossing continents.

Part IV

The Tree of Life,

I surmised …

The Tree of Knowledge,

I suggested …

Again, no correction

… And yet my mind opened up

to a display of genius

the like of which

no words can determine

no means or fashion

of recording

Part V

The brilliance of

The Dawn of Time

Played again for me

and countless others,

took my breath away

I was glad of the company

to sustain me

For otherwise,

I do not know how or

in what way

I would have coped …

I am filled with hope.

For in every terrifying spectacle,

that we call ‘history’,

played out before me and brought every calamity,

eventually, to a successful conclusion

Part VI

I swooped down from on high

My spirit soared

I was free

and still am free

Energy was my companion

Pure energy

I visited halls and libraries

I saw Architecture

the like of which we only plainly

and dully copy

But my Friend glinted …

Now you understand the saying

that in My Father’s House

are many mansions …

I would not have told you

if it were not so

That silenced me

Part VII

I returned from whence I came,

I had been shown the wonders

of science

of physics

of pure mathematics

of pure science

of quantum physics

and had seen for myself

The Quantum Leap

I cannot describe it

But one day, you will see it too!

And, like me,

your mouth will drop

in awe and wonder.

Part VIII written on 20 May 2022

Seven years on

from that very first Quantum Leap

Sometimes, a line, a verse, a stanza, even a part,

Will spill from the pen without prompting.

From where it comes I do not know,

Except to say that it seems to rush forth

from the deepest recesses of my mind and memory,

And yet the rushing forth,

Tho’ seeming of meteoric speed,

Is, nonetheless, very gentle.

An Awakening,

An Alerting,

A Prompting of the Mind to consider all things afresh.

No matter what I write,

I still regard this as the pinnacle of personal achievement.

As I think I muse…

There is something extraordinary,

to stand upon the roof of the world…
