The Heavens Intervene!
(half way thru the Infernal Regions 6 hour long event)
Ironically, it was at this new and even lower point of infernal shock (how many more levels would there be) that I realized that I might actually survive this entire 'invasion'. Because it was at this point that I heard a Divine voice suddenly and very unexpectedly speak right to me …
“DON'T LOOK!”
That was all. Just those two words. And as clear as a bell. And it was the only advice from above that I would receive. But it was enough. And it was sound advice - it was to prevent me from foolishly daring another glimpse.
But it was much more than just timely advice It also meant, to my astonishment, that …
THE HEAVENS HAD BEEN WATCHING THE WHOLE TIME !!!
From the beginning. And their power was greater, I knew, than the infernal presence which now confronted me. Like in those songs. Like in all of those religious hallelujah songs!
AND THEY WERE GOING TO GET ME OUT OF IT !!!
Or why would they have even bothered with their 'advice' in the first place? Needless to say I was 'elated' and in ways you cannot imagine. From one extreme to the other! And this went way beyond mere emotion. More like those sermons - the really good one's - the “Calvary please just move over because an even higher power has arrived” one's.
ON A BIBLICAL ELATION SCALE FROM 1 TO 100,000,000 I'D HAVE TO SAY …
“Let it rain !!!”
To be honest up until then I really did not think that anything or anybody else anywhere in the universe, other than myself and the infernal ' anschwell' that I was now 'inside' of, had even the slightest idea that ANY of this was even happening. Including the Heavens. So I thought that I was COMPLETELY on my own.
SO I JUST FIGURED THAT I WAS SCREWED !!!
All I knew for sure … was that it had come out of nowhere at around 11:00 at night while I was sitting there in my motel room reading 'what's his names' biography (see Spirit of '76 chapter) . And I mean out of nowhere! And that it had struck with ...
AN INCREDIBLE CONFIDENCE
and
AN UNCANNY SUDDENNESS !!!
And that within mere seconds of it's arrival - mere seconds - I found myself suddenly 'pinned down' in a lotus position on the top of my motel room bed and fearing for my own soul's very survival and wondering how in hell would I ever possibly survive. Which is an interesting choice of words!
WHERE FOR THE NEXT SIX OR SO HOURS - UNTIL THE ARRIVAL OF THE MORNINGS FIRST LIGHT - I WOULD BE COMPLETELY SURROUNDED.
BY HELL!
And not “The Twilight Zone” made up kind. The real one.
BY HELL!
Apparently it exists !!!
I did, however, pray to god. The entire time. In fact - that's pretty much ALL I did. But in truth I really didn't know if even HE knew that it was happening. I really DIDN'T know. And I remember that feeling. And that is one hell of a lonely feeling. Considering.
Just two sentences. Over and over again. The same ones. Over and over. Because there are only two sentences, I now know, when this happens, that make ANY sense at all as prayers. Only two. But I'm not going to tell you what they are. But if you ever really need them all of a sudden - like I did - and as badly as I did - you'll figure it out. And fast!
OUR SOULS ARE SMART.
(and of course this had to be proven)
