visions in a church
I attend a Quaker church even though I am not a Christian - I love the people there like my own family and being there reminds me that there are many good, open-minded, loving Christians in the world. Well, today was the Easter Sunday service, and suddenly, in the middle of the short, Quakerish message (elsewhere known as a sermon and much longer) I start seeing auras. They weren't colored like they say they are in books; they were just this outline of white light that rimmed every person. Some people had huge auras that radiated at least a foot away from them, and some just had the barest suggestion of an outline. I'd never seen them so clearly before!
And then during Silent Worship (at least 15 minutes of silence) I look up and see someone that near as nevermind looked like Jesus. Except he wasn't there. This is strange to me because I am not a Christian and therefor would not expect to see a Christian God-figure, but there he was! With his arms outstretched and everything, in yellow robes and smiling at me. And I think, maybe I've been looking at this the wrong way. Maybe the Christian Jesus, the Jewish Yahweh, the Islamic Allah - Maybe they're all Gods the same way the Oak King is a God, and the Holly King, and the God of the Forest. Maybe we're all fighting over something that shouldn't be fought over, because everyone is right all at the same time.
