Feb-92

I looked down upon the house and felt a strong need to go inside.
I searched for my father and found a stairway. The stairway was long and winding downward. I went through each level, discovering there was nothing there but emptiness in a shadowlike resemblance of an abandoned home. I could not find my father, only traces of what used to be inhabited. I found articles of his belongings that gave me the impression he had been there.
The Voice spoke to me again, "Your father does not live here."
I thought that the voice was certainly wrong. I could see that my dad's things were all around.
I said to the Voice, “What are you trying to say to me?
Where is my Father? Please show me where he is!"
The Voice answered, “Your father is here."
Turning my attention to the east.

I found the hallway with the heartbeat sound and once again I was traveling on it. A strong light was coming near as I moved, brighter then any light I have ever seen. I was in a place of great light which did not hurt my eyes when I looked at it. I looked around to see where the source of this great light was coming from. I didn't see any lamps or fires, just the candescence of glowing light which warmed my heart. It gave me the feeling of great love and understanding.

Beauty completely surrounded me on all sides, this place I was in was a Kingdom made of fine pearls and precious gems. At this point, I felt as if I must be in Heaven. Only Heaven could have such great beauty.
"This place must be Heaven" I spoke aloud, and the Voice replied, “This is the Kingdom of God."
It was hard for me to even conceive of this place. The beauty was unsurpassed. Certainly God's Light was so great that there was no need for light here.
I truly felt like a child at the feet of its mother.
