Writing in Snow

In other passages, Baha'u'llah says that the there are worlds beyond this world. Worlds that are mysterious and cryptic to the human mind. The worlds Baha'u'llah speaks of could refer to planets and stars in this universe, to spiritual dimensions, to other physical dimensions accessed through black holes, or all of these. I believe Baha'u'llah was referring to all of these possibilities. Baha'u'llah, also, tells us that dreams are one of the proofs of the soul. I meditate on the scriptures revealed by Baha'u'llah, and eventually I come to a bit of understanding and comprehension.

I've went through a lot of test and difficulties in my life. I'm still going through them. I'm facing one test now that I've dealt with for years; it's a reoccurring issue that I have to overcome. It occurs when I'm worried about something, in this case financial. It hits me when I'm not concentrating on something else. Lately it's occurred of a morning, instead of at night when I'm going to sleep. It's not occurring at night because I say prayers or repeat prayers I've memorized. I think I will do this of a morning, as well. Once I start my do I can, usually, push the issue aside; although, it tends to comeback when I'm not focused on doing work either physically or mentally.

How do I explain the dreams about the Return of Christ? My soul knew, without a doubt that Christ had returned in the Glory of the Father. The first dream occurred when I was living in Blackwell, Oklahoma, at my parents home on College Ave. In the dream, I looked out the window and up at the blues sky. There I saw a Christ descending with the clouds. The clouds around his face and were white and shining with light. He was concealed by the clouds, with only His eyes visible and looking down at the Earth. His eyes were beautiful.

Are dreams random? Yes, some of them, but not all. I know that dream aren't random because I have had dreams that opened my spiritual and mental eyes to a new reality. At the time I had the dreams I didn't consciously realize what they were telling me; however, my spirit know and it prodded me to seek a new spiritual path. Nudged me to search for Christ Returned in the Glory of the Father. I found the answer to my search when I discovered Baha'u'llah, the Glory of God, the Lord of Hosts.

"As to truthful dreams: I beg of God that thy inner eye (insight) may be so opened that thou mayest thyself differentiate between truthful and untruthful dreams."

Abdu’l-Baha22

Were the dreams about the Return of Christ truthful? Yes, because they boar fruit by leading me to Baha'u'lllah. I knew, the moment I read Baha'u'llah's writings that they came to Him through the Holy Spirit. Baha'u'llah proclaimed that there is only one Divine Creator, who at periodic intervals sends Divine Messengers or Manifestations that assist humanity to achieve its full spiritual and material potential. He proclaimed gender equality (though He did not used that particular phrase). He proclaimed the common foundation of all religions, which are revealed through Prophets sent by God.

The sun turns the sky pink
with the new born rays of light.
Prayers chanted in the dawn
break the fast of night.

 Comment

Today I began the series Turning to Your Dreams for Spiritual Guidanhce   this six part series, by David Langness, was written and posted on BahaiTeachings.org   in 2015. I discovered this series when I was glancing through another article, and discovered the link to one of the articles in this series at the bottom of the other article. I clicked on the link, and found that it was a series. Since dreams have played an important part in my spiritual journey, I decided to read the series.
