In October and November, 2024, a succession of visions about a week apart unexpectedly appeared. I perceived them as metaphors of life and they arrived as my whispers of mystery do: as flashes that interrupt my own mundane thoughts, those petty thoughts of my “human self.” Since messages to me have been auditory, these visual images playing like a video were a new surprise.
Each one presented a different
metaphor from a different facet fitting into my reflections of the “human self”
and the “eternal self," two distinct
parts within ourselves. Quite unlike
Augustine’s convoluted logic, still mysteriously taught by some churches, we
are not made “in sin.” The creation of
Adam is shown clearly in Genesis 2:7 in two parts: from the dust of the earth
(the human self) and from the divine breath (the eternal self). Both are natural and neither part should be
despised. They are often in conflict,
however, and since the human part is physical, tangible, it is the part
we identify with, leaving the eternal part elusive.
