A Play on the Stage of Life

Greetings!

I had this short dream some years ago.  I observed what went on in the dream, and this was what I saw.

                                               ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~    

Many people stood outside of a theater waiting to enter.   There was no sense of time or hurry.  People simply waited.  People seemed to stand in space instead of on a solid ground as on earth.

Not all the people walked into the theatre at the same time.  Only some entered the theatre at a time.  While some people walked inside, more people appeared on the outer edge of the crowd waiting for their turns.

Inside the theatre, the light setting was low (similar to theatres on earth).  Upon entering, people walked to different rooms where there were many garments for them to choose and put on.  It was a huge place, and there were many different rooms with all kind of garments.  The light inside those rooms was dim.  Then I saw people who had put on garments went on a big stage.  Each played a role in the dramas that had been going on.

Next, I saw a steady flow of people walking out of the theatre (from the back or the side of the theatre).  They had finished playing their roles on the stage.  They no longer wore the garments.  They looked the same as they were before entering the theatre.  Outside was a vast open space with light as that of a beautiful sunny day. Bliss was in the air.  People walked on joyfully in small groups or individually.  They did not walk towards the same direction, but headed for different directions.

                                                ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~        

As I woke up, the thought that came to me was 'Oh, people did not go into a theatre to watch a movie!'  Then I realized the dream was symbolic to what we did.  We came to earth (the theatre), put on a garment (a body, or the role one played), and went on the stage of life (went through many experiences or dramas of life).  When the play (a physical life) was over,  we moved on leaving our garments behind.

When I had the dream, I was in the early years of my search for answers to my mystical experiences.  Although the presence of angels and guides had brought me much love and comfort, I still reacted to life situations with negative emotions from time to time, e.g. pain, hurt, and resentment.  The dream gave me a sense of ease about life.  It was like the angels and guides were telling me 'take it easy, life is but a play, others are neither their personalities nor the roles they play, and don't take things too personally'.

At the end of the dream, people walked on in ease / bliss.  Nobody seemed to dwell on or talk about what happened inside the theatre.  It might be they had done that numerous times.  They headed for different directions as if other plans or adventures awaited them.

The ending of the dream did not resemble anything I read in books about life.  I loved the dream.  It helped me to look at life from a different perspective especially when I was in a challenging situation such as facing someone with a challenging personality.

She called to cancel a healing session

Greetings!

One morning, a friend called to cancel a healing session.  She told me she had to go to a company for a meeting.  However, she wanted to drop by and talk to me for a little while since the Center was on her way of getting there.  She planned to stay for about ten minutes.   She said she must leave before 11 am because that company was in a city quite a distance away.

I was not a professional healer.  A friend had talked to me about promoting myself (as a healer) such as placing an ad on holistic magazines, but I had not done that.  On the day I stayed in the Center, I worked on people who happened to walk in and want to receive healing.  I did not charge money for healing sessions.  If no one came, I listened to music and meditated.  I went home around 12:30 pm for lunch.  Then I came back and stayed until about 5 pm.

My friend was a long time spiritual seeker.  She had learned Reiki and other healing arts.  She was a spiritual teacher who facilitated metaphysical circles.  She had a doctorate degree, and was quite successful in the business world.  She wanted to keep her spiritual side private because she did not want that to jeopardize her career.

My friend arrived.  She began to tell me a personal experience that had deeply troubled her.  Coincidentally, I had a similar experience years ago.  I told her how I had handled the situation, and what I learned from that experience.  Soon it was 11 am. I reminded her of her appointment with that company.  She said she wanted to talk some more.  She continued to talk.  As usual, I listened to her experiences, and spoke only when I felt I had something to say.  Around noon, I reminded her of the time.  She said everything could wait, and that she could reschedule the meeting.

It was almost 2 o'clock when she stood up from her chair.  She said, "I am so glad we talk. I know now why I felt I should come to talk to you even though I called to cancel the session. I have been looking for answers for a long time. You have answered all the questions that had bothered me. Thank you!"  We hugged before we parted ways.

When I arrived home, my husband had put away the food.  He thought I had gone out for lunch with a friend.  Well, the food tasted better when one (i.e. me) was hungry.

All Is Well in the divine plan.

Wherever you are, may your day be filled with peace and joy!

Many blessings,

On this Angels Day and Veterans Day, I give thanks to..........

Greetings!

I had cataract surgery on my right eye over a month ago.  I was quite near-sighted and had worn eyeglasses since I was in 4th grade.  The surgery was a success.  I only experienced a little bit of discomfort.

My right eye was blurry for the first few days.  It began to improve on the fourth day. With the basic monofocal len, I could see things in a distance.  If I wanted to read a book, I had to cover the eye that had surgery.  I also found using the computer was somewhat challenging.  Despite of the minor inconvenience, I could not stop smiling.  Now, I could watch the television without any eyeglasses, see things far away clearly, and the colors were amazing!  For a while, everything looked super bright.  I had to turn down the setting of brightness on the computer and the television.

My left eye, which used to see better than the right eye, was scheduled for surgery four weeks later.  Originally, I wanted to cancel the surgery because I could read with that eye.  However, after not wearing the eyeglasses for a couple of weeks, the brain must have automatically used the right eye.  When I put on my eyeglasses (with the right side covered), I found the eyesight of my left eye had deteriorated a lot.  I could no longer see with my left eye even with the eyeglasses on.

Therefore, I had surgery on my left eye last week.  It went very well.  It was painless.

The left eye is getting better every day.  The right eye is doing well.  I buy a pair of reading glass from the Dollar Store so that I can read the newspaper and use the computer.   It will be some days before the doctor can give me a prescription for a new pair of eyeglasses.  I want to take this opportunity to thank the eye doctor and all the nurses who have treated me with kindness.

I have withdrawn my recent post on the gray cat.  It will be a while before I can finish the story on the cat.  It makes no sense to publish part 1 and 2 (or 3) with many days apart.

Today is Angels Day* (Nov. 11, 1111 day) and Veterans Day.  I honor the presence of the loving angels in our lives, and the veterans who serve and protect USA - the Land of the Free.  Thank you!

Love,
Q of D

*I honor the love of the angels on Jan. 11, Nov. 1, 10 & 11.  These are 111 or 1111 days.  111 is a number symbolic to the presence of angels.   You can celebrate each day and every day with or without any reason.   Life is supposed to be fun, and Life Is.
