As I have said, I do not believe in angels with wings,
but, from elder’s teachings, I accept that those ‘wings’ we see are
personalities moving faster than the speed of light and it trails light behind
them. Have you ever had the experience of seeing
light around someone, or seeing light within?
When I was a young teenager, with teenaged mentality,
and never one for religious fanaticism, in fact, serious, non-religious senses,
I saw something I could never explain.
An older man was up at a podium speaking, and we were not, as teenager’s
are wont.. we were snickering and whispering back and forth about what we
thought was important to us, and I looked up and was mesmerized by the
speaker. There was a light radiating
from him. I watched him for a good ten
to fifteen minutes, still not listening to his words, but intent on figuring
out why he would shine like that. I have
always always wondered what that was and as I matured and became more aware, I
know that his soul and aura were pure and radiating around him. In Christianity, Luke 9:29, (I had to
research it, the word “glistering” was used to describe the light emanating
from someone.
Another time, a bit late, but before I got into being
married, with children, and living real life, I began seeing what we term as
“auras” around certain people. Sometimes
they were strangers, sometimes they were known to me as acquaintances,
sometimes workshop presenters, sometimes family. I began to know I was seeing colors. I could not explain it, as I could not
explain my younger experience, and seldom said anything about any of it. Eventually, I researched what I was seeing
and talked to Medicine people. It was
explained in traditional cultural terms.
It is said that a light that surrounds the body is an
energy field. Our spirit/soul does not
fit into this elastic stuff we call skin and it is a moving energy field. When we are sad or negative, or happy, or
soulful, this energy field changes and is a moving living thing. It is why we do not like to sit too close to
strangers, or stand in the far corner of an elevator, or like someone to point
a finger too close to us, etc. It is
this energy field that we sense when someone is standing behind us, or someone
is in the room in the dark, or has someone turn and look at us across a
room.
It is, and I know this to be true, an energy that
leaves the body when someone passes. I
experienced this energy movement when I was holding my father’s hand at the
moment of his death. I felt an electrical surge go from his hand into mine and
up my arm. I cannot explain it. I do not need too. It was a learning experience, and so dear,
for me. There is an energy in the body
and around the body. Some call it an
aura.
I experienced some teachings from an Elder who was a
healer. She taught me what New Age might
call “Aura Massage”, but she explained that it is massaging the soul. I have used it to calm clients, I have used
it to relieve sufferers of Migraines. I
have used it to help some release emotions.
It is powerful and it works, ion my experience and knowing. I do not understand this, either, but used it
as I was taught to use it. There is
ceremony to it and includes smudging of hands and person to protect me as I do
it so their negative energy does not stick to me.
A few nights ago, several of us were sitting out
before our firepit. As things do,
conversation moved to speaking about what we each had experienced as what is
called astral travel. We spoke of
feeling the body rise from being prone.
Each of us had experienced some sort of experience with it, even my
80-year-old partner, The Bee Man, who spoke of rising above and seeing his
father who was floating, just before death.
This is a man who does not necessarily believe in any organized religion
either, nor was he brought up going to any church. I was so surprised at his telling because he
is not one to speak of such. My
just-about-son-in-law, from Ghana, spoke of knowing his father was about to
pass in that he experienced sickness and confusion and had to pull over while
driving, and, the next day, his mother called to tell him that his father, in
Ghana, had passed away, at the exact time as he was driving on a long road trip
and had to pull over to gather himself.
Another spoke of ‘traveling’. I
am sure we have all heard of someone doing such things, of knowing, of
traveling, or rising. I had a life after
death experience in 1982 during a brain bleed.
I rose above my body. I saw and
grieved myself and then moved to some higher or different space of beautiful
hum, and there, I met my father who had passed, who reached out his hand and
said if I took his hand I could go with him.
I only saw his arm reaching out and it was definitely my father’s hand
as he always buffed his straight cut beautiful nails that were a mahogany
color. I begged not to have to go and be
allowed to go back and raised my babies.
The request was honored. The pain
of returning into my body was like a thousand nerve pinpricks as oxygen
returned to my body and I was once again in the ICU room.
It changed my life, all these events, unexplained,
really, changed my personality and thoughts and knowing.
How do we explain such? Do we need to? Is knowing enough? Have you ever seen the
Glistering? What difference does such, or did such, make
in your life?
