Years ago when I was fairly new in my Spiritual exploration I was reaching a point where I thought I "knew" so much.
I thought maybe that the path that I was on would reveal to me the Spirit World in all of its glory.
I also thought that it probably wouldn't take long before I "knew" everything.
This was before the "Dream" . . .
Before the Dream my Ego felt firmly in control. I found myself saying things like "I know this is how the Spirit World works".
I would come to realize that I couldn't be further from the Truth . . .
The Dream happened on any other night. The day before for me felt like any other day. It was nothing special. To be honest I was not really thinking of anything Spiritual. I was caught up in my day-to-day stuff of Life.
I still remember this Dream like it was last night. But then that is how these dreams go. They are so impressionable that you are unlikely ever going to forget it.
And that's the idea . . .
I found myself on a beach. There standing before me and to my side was one of my Spirit Guides. (The only thing that I don't know, to this day, is which Guide it was. I don't believe it was Dwal-Kul but I could be wrong. It didn't feel like him.)
(Dwal-Kul is an Ascended Master and he is my main Teacher. He is a Master of Love. His teachings have taught me to find peace and not conflict. Through His Teachings I feel I was guided to my Twin Soul, Lisa. He is an old friend. I will talk about him in my next post.)
In any case there we were looking at the beautiful view. The ocean was so perfect and the sand we stood on so soft.
Then he picked up a grain of sand and turned to me and said "Mark, this grain of sand is all you know, and it is all you will ever know."
He then put the grain down and then I found myself awake and lying in bed . . .
Wow! I thought. My ego was crushed! All I know is a grain of sand?! But I thought I knew so much!
All I could think about was the grains of sand. There were so many of them. Millions and billions of them!
Then I started to think about it . . .
I believe the message that he was saying is this . . .
We humans go through our lives learning and growing. We learn a vast amount of information during the course of our lives.
The brain starts recording everything from the moment of birth to the day we cross over. (Do we remember all of it, no. But it is stored in our sub-conscience. Some of it is remembered in our conscience mind. Not even the most powerful computers today could store all of the information that we do.)
What is "perfection" is the fact that we all are human. Not what we "think" is perfection. Being Human is the beauty. What an honor it is in Being Human.
All that being said, I have come to learn that all of those grains of sand is us. Each one of us perfectly placed on the "beach".
Introspectively when I think of the "beach" I now look at it as part of the Universe. The "ocean" as just another part. I realize that something that big there is no way I could ever "know" everything. In fact all I really know is a grain of sand . . .
And that is all I could ever know . . .
A great piece of "humble pie" that has helped me continue my Quest. Keeping me on my Path.
