Chapter 1 Excerpt
While in a dreamless sleep a voice spoke, an echoing shout, which rang throughout my entire body. “I am that I am”! This startled me awake, or at least I thought that I was awake. Was I in a dream? I did not quite know whether I was in a dream or awake. I recognized the statement, that had startled me; I have read this statement,” I am that I am” within the bible a thousand times. Not the response that I expected to hear, I was rather shocked to hear an answer at all.
The answer had meaning; first, it meant that I must have, actually been dreaming. I really heard a voice, which did not register through my ears; the voice spoke from within my body. Like a faint electrical wave and on this wave was a voice; not a soft voice either, this voice demanded attention. I am that I am? I asked, with a soft nervous reply; what do you mean? I just desire to know your actual name. Then the voice ringing again throughout my entire body; “I AM”! Every nerve ending within my body tingled, as the voice shouted out from under my skin.
Exodus 3:13 – and Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, the God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, what is his name? What shall I say unto them?
Exodus 3:14 – and God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
There was no longer a lone voice in my head, the sound of what I assumed to be Gods voice, was suddenly replaced by a strange dream. A dark cosmic cloud swirling, drawing me closer, an obvious primordial mix being pictured in my head, “this too was new.” The picture as described numerous times in science class, a cloud as big as the entire universe, and filled with black dirt. Not any kind of dirt that I had seen outside of a dream; and rain, creating an unwarranted appearance of swirling tar, this swampy mixture swallowed everything, the whole universe had become this vision. Lightning was emanating from the swampy mixture, not striking into the mixture. The storms swirling dirt appeared to contain millions of microscopic particles of flint rock; bumping together creating sparks and static electricity, the static discharge created bolts of lightning.
A sight that if seen at some time other than a dream, would send a person screaming that the end had arrived, this was apparently not the actual end, and in fact, the total opposite was happening, this was the beginning. I watched this huge storm intently; flash after flash of lightning, some large strait bolts others breaking into hundreds of electrical fingers, as if I were watching an upside down thunderstorm. The lightning seemed to be creating a magnetic field within the center of the swirling mixture, which seemed to hold a little ball of electrical energy within the magnetic field. Millions of tiny electrical fingers had joined and were now towering from the center of the swampy, electrically charged mixture. Rising from the center about thirty feet high, forming a large electrical column, it looked like an electrical tree trunk, cradling a small electrical sphere, a compact ball of energy, tightly contained within the magnetic field.
Chapter 2 Excerpt
A voice; God’s voice, suggested a question; If this child had developed enough to understand your questions, and you were to ask the child its name, might its response be “I am that I am”? The child held its hands about three inches apart, and to my amazement, electrical currents emanating from the nerve endings within the child’s hands, joined, from the end of the fingers of each hand. The fingers were not touching only the currents touched and seemed done purposely and effortlessly
The child could soon move the currents further and further distances apart. The child had learned to move or connect the energy trapped within its new body, to the exterior of its body. I was quite sure; at any moment, the tightly trapped sphere within the child’s head would escape, returning to the cosmic particles, and re-energize the universe surrounding us. The energy did not escape, maybe the energy no longer wanted to escape; maybe, the energy liked its newfound consciousness. As I continued to watch as a silent observer, I began to understand that some of the limitations we place on ourselves are limitations of our physical surroundings.
Our parents, peers, and religious leaders teach most limitations to us. What would the child whom had not been taught limitations, be capable of doing? God’s statement in the bible, “if you had Faith, the size of a grain of mustard seed you could move a mountain” may be true!
Matthew 17:20 – and, Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
I continued to observe, and wonder at what point the child would no longer be fascinated with its self, and start to explore. What would be the child’s ultimate limitations, as it grows into a teen then an adult? Without the basic physical needs to survive, I wondered how long the child would live. I still had many questions, but the only answers that I was getting were the ones revealed to me before my eyes in this dream.
Chapter 3 Excerpt
I pondered; often, on these early dreams, and tried to connect them with my humanistic understanding, we, humans make everything complicated by trying to fit everything into our personal understanding.
Molecule: The smallest particle of a substance that has all of the physical and chemical properties of that substance. Molecules are made up of one or more atoms. If they contain more than one atom, the atoms can be the same (an oxygen molecule has two oxygen atoms) or different (a water molecule has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom). Biological molecules, such as proteins and DNA, can be made up of many thousands of atoms.
Elements: An element is a substance made up of atoms with the same atomic number. 75% of the elements are metals and the others are nonmetals. A few examples are oxygen (O), iron (FE), carbon (C), copper (CU), hydrogen (H) and nitrogen (N). Carbon is a very important element also known as a carbon atom, as it makes up organic matter, which is a part of all life.
Compounds: A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically joined. Water, salt, and sugar are examples of compounds. When the elements are joined, the atoms lose their individual properties and have different properties from the elements they are composed. Matter: That which has mass and occupies space; an atom is the smallest indivisible unit of matter.
Atoms: The basic component of all matter. The atom is the smallest particle of an element that has all of the chemical properties of that element. Atoms consist of a nucleus of protons and neutrons surrounded by electrons.
Electrons: Atomic particles orbiting the nucleus of an atom, which move from atom in a conductor creating electrical current.
In literally thousands of years, humans have learned to work with atoms; creating, synthetic gemstones, water, and many more items; now created within a laboratory. If humans have accomplished this in thousands of years, It is not hard to imagine what God; alive for billions of years would learn to do with these same, “atoms.”
Chapter 4 Excerpt
This night had become one of those magical nights; sometime after falling asleep, I was suddenly standing in the middle of a large field, I realized that I was in a dream almost immediately.
There were dead cows, lying everywhere; I looked around and noticed several things; there was no grass or weeds, only dirt. In the field, which contained the dead cows there was one lake and it, was approximately eight feet above the ground, floating. I walked under the lake looking up through the clear water, directly into the warm sunlight. The trees appeared neatly pruned and there were no limbs or leaves any lower than the approximate eight feet height of the lake. There were very boney cows, which were not yet dead stretching their necks as far as they could reach, but to no avail. The cows were unable to reach the leaves within the trees. The cows had eaten all the lower branches, depleted their food supply, and subsequently died from starvation or dehydration.
Several months had passed, I went to bed, quickly falling asleep and I was back in the aforementioned field, this time there were several very large cows walking throughout the entire field on their hind legs, they were actually using their front legs to grasp the leaves in the trees and pulling them to their mouths to eat. Unlike the earlier dream, this vision was one of those dreams which you may awaken from, because of a sound you hear in the still of the night, to discover the sound had been your own laughter; occurring while you slept.
I continued to watch as a young calf, stood for the very first time, and a large cow pulled a branch from one of the trees, down as far as it could, the calf raised upon its hind legs and ate the leaves. Several other cows stood under the lake, still on their hind legs, heads held high into the air, drinking from the bottom of the clear lake. Upon awakening, I pondered on the previous dream, and pondered on the differences between the two dreams.
