In my previous series of postings I presented a number of my spiritual experiences that revealed the nature of this world and the spiritual realm that is foreign to so many. The following hyperlinks will guide you to these prior postings:
These experiences represent the big picture reality for everyone on the planet. They present the reward that awaits the wicked. They communicate the reality of the devil, hell and the pit of fire which is the second death. They also speak about the devil’s evil desire for everyone in the world, a desire for our failure, bondage, torture and pain forever. Unfortunately, many in the world do not know this truth and many, who have had insight into these realities, simply do not believe them. Unfortunately for them, the devil continues to wage his spiritual warfare against all true followers of Jesus, weather they know the truth or not.
The ministry of Jesus Christ is a ministry of spiritual warfare. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and to save everyone from the terrible consequences described in these prior postings. Jesus came so that all who believe in Him would have eternal life in heaven with Him.
He accomplished this by teaching us to love one another as He loved us, and then He demonstrated that love when He healed the sick, cast out demons, fed the hungry, told us about the Father, died on the cross for our sins,
Disciples Carry Jesus Down From The Cross
rose from the dead, defeated all evil, and ascended into heaven where He is our advocate with the Father. This is the heart of the vision—that we become like Jesus and do the things that He did. We are to be imitators of Him and therefore, we are to enter a life of spiritual warfare and victory over evil.
I certainly did not understand these things at the time that I had these experiences. I know them to be true now because I became a student of the Bible and found that its passages validated the spiritual realities of my experiences. Our postings from this point forward will review these spiritual experiences in the light of the scriptures, so that you may also come to the understanding that the bible confirms these experiences and realities to be true.
So, until next time, may all of God’s blessings be upon you and your family.
Repentance Brings Salvation – Even on Judgment Day
In my previous postings I have communicated to you about my severe trauma that landed me in the intensive care unit, dying. I told you about leaving my body and traveling in spirit, through space and time and entered into the Lake of Fire, the place of the second death. I told you how I swam in all of the horror there along with all the other lost soles. I communicated how I was transported to Hell and placed before Satin so that I could experience his extreme hatred of me. I conveyed how I was placed before the Judgment seat of Christ, where I relived my sins. In the past two postings I tell of God’s question for me on the Judgment Seat; “Why should you live?” In this posting I will tell you of my repentance and my bargaining with God on the Judgment Seat. So, with that said, we pick up where we left off.
I was really desperate now as I knew the focus was back on me. I had to come up with something that would answer God’s question. At first, I blamed my problems on others and waited for a response. Silence was my answer.
Then, I realized that I could not blame others for my poor choices. So I told God that I would change. I pleaded with God, I made a case that if God would provide some things that were missing in my life, that it would make a difference. That was the last thing I remember about being in the gray place.
I awoke the next morning in the intensive care unit where I had been the night before.
Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy, to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. (Psalm 33:18 – 19)
I had lived through the night by the mercy of God.
For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. (James 2:13)
Yes, someone had been watching out for me again. Someone had saved me from the greatest tragedy of all. You would think that this time there would be no mistaking that it was God, but at the time I was still blind. I saw all of this as a terrifying dream, one that I did not care to dwell upon, and simply moved on.
But as you will fine in our future postings the devil was not done yet. He had not given up on defeating me and ending my purpose forever. He would attack me over and over again with physical problem and he would make my life miserable until I wised up and turned my life back over to God.

In our next posting we will communicate why this experience is so important. Until next time, may God’s blessings be upon all of you.
In my previous postings I have communicated to you about my severe trauma that landed me in the intensive care unit, dying. There, I left my body and traveled through space and time and entered into the Lake of Fire, the place of the second death. I swam there in all of the horror there. Then I was transported to Hell where I was place before Satin and experienced his extreme hatred of me. Then I was taken to the Judgment seat of God and relived all of my sins in an instant in time. It is hear that God asks me: “Why should you live?”
This posting will communicate what happened as the books of Life are opened:
Then another certainty dawned on me. Somehow, I realized that the question had to do with more than just mortal life and death on earth as I knew it. It was a question relating to a life lived forever with God or the second death as I experienced it in Golgotha (A-Journey-to-Golgotha and Inside-the-Lake-of-Fire-the-Second-death).
Now, even more than ever, I began to truly understand the significance and gravity of the question and the consequences of my answer. Death forever!
Agony, torture, and suffering for eternity in the lake of fire accompanied with unending torment at the hands of Satan. Then that “oh, no” feeling came over me in a wave. It is the feeling you get when your stupid mistake hurts someone real bad.
Just then the silence was broken. I could hear a commotion coming from somewhere behind the voice.
And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. (Revelation 20:4)
I heard another voice say, “What about good works?” This was followed by more rustling and commotion. It sounded like a number of people were searching for the good worksin my life.
And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (Revelation 20:12 – 14)
The commotion soon stopped and I heard another voice reply, “There are none.” I stood there stunned and thought how can this be? Surely I have done some good works. This was followed by another shattering realization of the truth. The sad report was true as it seems that even the good things I had done in my life were for the wrong reasons.
In our next posting we will tell you what happened next.
In my previous postings I have communicated to you about my severe medical condition that landed me in the intensive care unit, dying. There, I left my body and traveled through space and time and entered into the Lake of Fire, the place of the second death. I communicated how I swam in the Lake and of all the horror there. From there I traveled to Hell Itself where I was place before Satin and experience his extreme hatred of me. From there I was taken to the Judgment seat of God and relived all of my sins in an instant in time. Here is my account of what happened there:
Now I stand in the Judgment Place blind because of the fog and God asks me the question of the Judgment Place. The question was so profound that, quite frankly, it cut me to the core. It caught me by surprise and left me in a state of disarray. It was direct and to the point and it hit home like a sledgehammer. It is the question that demands an explanation. The question is simply: “Why should you live?”
But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written: “As I live, says the LORD, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. (Romans 14:10 – 12)
At first, I was enamored by the voice because somehow there was an attraction that pulled you toward it. it was so perfect in every way. The voice was mellow and soothing, as love seemed to come from it. It was confident but not overly so. The voice was strong but not over bearing. It demonstrated perfect tempo being neither too slow nor too fast. The volume was perfect as well, being neither too loud nor too soft and enunciation and pronunciation were perfect as well.
At the same time, the voice conveyed a very real sense of caring and concern. Amazingly, the voice communicated all of these things by speaking only four words. Think about this, how could this be possible by asking a simple question?
There was no sense of anger in the voice. No inflection to reveal the acceptable response. Since the fog kept me from seeing the source of the voice, there was no opportunity to read body language or facial expression.
Eventually, I got over being intrigued with the voice as the ramifications of the question started to overwhelm me. I realized that this was a serious situation and I knew that my answer would determine my fate forevermore.
I thought: here I am being judgedfor all eternity. If I am being asked a question, there must be a right answer that can make a difference. Frantically, I started to think up excuses to rationalize my poor decisions and behavior.
The Last Judgment by Michelangelo
While I was doing this, another truth rocked me. It came to me from out of the blue. There were no lies here in this place, only truth existed. Even for someone like me, lies did not exist here because the one who asked the question already knew the truth.
In my next posting I will reveal the insights that came to be as I pondered my dilemma. I started to put things together and realized how great the consequences were of my answer.
Until then: May all of God’s blessings be upon you and your family.
Reliving My Sins Before the Judgment Seat of Christ
But then things changed. Standing thereI began to experience certain portions of my life over again. It was as if I was actually living them over again. One after another they continued. It was as if I had been receiving electronic signals that enabled me to fully experience these seemingly random snippets of my life. I was reliving them with all of my emotions and senses fully activated; but then I realized that it was even more than that! I was also experiencing the thoughts, perceptions and emotions of the other people in these experiences as well. More specifically, I experienced how others were affected by my actions and choices. One by one, I was gaining insight into how my actions harmed others. I gained an intimate perspective of the people involved and how they felt about me.
The Last Judgment by Rogier Van Der Weyden
Reliving these experiences was far superior to having lived them the first time because everything was so clear. All of this occurred without a sense of time as well. Instead of taking hours, days, months, or years to transpire, my life episodes were relived in an instant.
Then suddenly, all of this stopped just as quickly as it had started. The peace and quiet returned. I stood there thinking about what had just happened when the silence was interrupted by a voice that came through the fog. It was the voice of God.
He had a critical question for me. Find out what it was in my next posting on my Judgment Day experiences.
Until then, may all of God’s blessings be upon you and you family.
In my previous postings I have communicated to you about my severe medical condition that landed me in the intensive care unit, dying. There, I left my body and traveled through space and time and entered into the Lake of Fire, the place of the second death. I communicated how I swam in the Lake and of all the horror there. From there I traveled to Hell Itself where I am brought before Satin and experience his extreme hatred of me. Now I travel to the Judgment seat of God. Here is my account of what happened there:
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. (2 Corinthians 5:10)
In the same way that I had been mysteriously taken from the Lake of Fire, I simply vanished from before the beast. I had been removed from the halls of hell.
I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. (Revelation 1:18)
Mysteriously, I was transported to a broad place, a place of peace.
He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me. (Psalm 18:19)
It was as if I was on the inside a cloudbut without the misty dampness. Everything around me was gray. My visibility was severely limited like it would be if I were in a thick fog. I looked around and saw nothing except the wall of grayness that engulfed me. I wondered about all these experiences. I felt fortunate to be in a place as peaceful and calming as this.
I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, and like a cloud, your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you. (Isaiah 44:22)
But everything was about to change. I was going to relive all of my sins in excruciating detail. The Judgment is about to begin. I will tell you all about it in my next posting.
In my previous postings I have told you of my severe medical condition that sent me to the intensive care dying. There, I left my body and traveled through space and time and enter the Lake of Fire, the place of the second death. It was there that I swam in the Lake and experienced all of the horror there. From there I travel to Hell Itself where I am confronted by the devil. Here is the story:
I knew that there was no way for anyone to escape from the lake of fire and brimstone, but by some power, I had been removed and transported to another place. It was as if in the blink of an eye, I faded out of the lake and into a different place.
I found myself in what appeared to be a large cave. It was unusual since it was extremely hot. Its rock walls glowed red. The throbbing cracks of the outer crust opened and closed to release pressure from underneath. They were like molten lava in this respect. The glowing red walls appeared to be carved out of a gigantic rock formation. Huge flames frequently shot up along the walls from the floor. Scalding steam shot up through openings in the cave and produced a repugnant, sulfuric odor. I thought that this place must be like what I imagined the center of the earth to be like. Then again, perhaps it was hell.
I turned around and looked in every direction and saw no other living creature. I started walking down a passageway to my left. I was searching for a way out while the flames were shooting up all around me.
THE BEAST
All of a sudden, there was an enormous creature standing just five or six feet in front of me. It seemingly appeared from out of nowhere. It was an abominable looking animal. While it had the general physique of a man, it was unlike a man in that it was approximately ten feet tall and four feet wide. Being as close as it was, it towered over me like a monster. It appeared to be extremely strong because its arm and leg muscles bulged like a world-class weightlifter after a work out. In addition, its limbs were as big around as my torso.
Its body was dark brown with shades of black in some areas. Its skin was like dried leather that had been hardened in the fire of this place. This hardened skin was completely covered with extremely sharp thorns like those found on a rose bush. The thorns were of all different sizes, and interestingly, the larger ones had numerous small thorns on them as well. I remember thinking that these thorns would be an extremely good defense against any attacker. Surely anyone who dared to challenge this beast would be shred into pieces. Then it occurred to me that these thorns could be a very effective offensive weapon as well.
As I gazed up toward the face of the beast I saw that its red eyes glared at me with apparent hatred. It head was more like the head of a giant reptile than a man. It seemed to be similar to the head of the dinosaur Tyrannosaurus Rex. It was then that I somehow knew that this beast was the master of this place and that there was no way for me to overcome it; at least not here where it rules.
Amazingly, we stood there looking at each other. The beast glared at me with great disgust, anger and hatred that I could feel reverberate throughout my being. I was feeling these emotions flow through me like electricity. I therefore knew that It hated me with hatred that I had never before imagined—a perfect hatred. This monster found me revolting, disgusting, and repulsive. There are no words that can adequately convey the depth and completeness of this hatred.
I knew that I was in serious trouble and so I tried to run but amazingly, I found that my feet were stuck to the ground. It was as if they had been glued to the rock where I was standing. Then I saw the beast make a series of great thrashing efforts in an effort to move toward me and potentially attack me. But even more amazingly, he also found that his feet were held fast to the ground and that he could not move either.
He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support. (Psalm 18:16 – 18)
I knew that if the beast was not restrained, it would rule over me in the halls of hell. I knew that it was my enemy. I also knew that one way or another the beast would be my torturer:
To deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. (1 Corinthians 5:5)
if released, that it would find sadistic pleasure in my suffering and that my torture would be pure evil.9
Just as they have chosen their own ways, And their soul delights in their abominations, So will I choose their delusions, And bring their fears on them; Because, when I called, no one answered, When I spoke they did not hear; But they did evil before My eyes, And chose that in which I do not delight. (Isaiah 66:3 – 4)
All of these things I somehow knew as if someone had inserted them directly into my mind. I felt them with a very strong emotion. But, the beast was being held in place. Although it continued to strain, it could not get to me. Clearly the Lord was protecting me while at the same time showing me the truth. The devil is real and it hates me with extreme passion. Further it seeks to destroy my life and my purpose.
Next, I am taken to the Judgment Day. I will tell you all about this experience in my next posting.
olgotha, the Skull. In this posting, I communicated that I had been struck with a sudden life-threatening pancreas disorder that sent me to an intensive care unit. After the doctors did all they could that night, they left, believing that I would not likely make it to the morning. As I slowly drifted toward unconsciousness, I left my body behind. I traveled through space and time on a course toward an enormous human skull (Spiritual Golgotha) suspended in space. You can find this posting here: MY JOURNEY TO SPIRITUAL GOLGOTHA
SWIMMING IN THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE
I soon found myself swimming with countless lost souls in a phosphorescent yellow-orange plasma, delivering scorching heat and immense pressure.These conditions must be like the sun’s fusion reaction, where extreme heat and pressure result from the massive gravitational forces. The heat seared me, and the pressure painfully squeezed me into a rage.
The souls swimming in the lake with me resembled white tadpoles. Together, we darted to and fro, attempting to escape the stinging heat and the crushing weight of the plasma.
Each soul also relived the horror, sorrow, pain, and misery of those they hurt. Over and over again, everyone there experienced the feelings their victims experienced from their actions.
The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me. (Psalm 18:5)
Even worse, the feelings of every victim are transmitted into the plasma and received by every soul there. Accordingly, every soul relived the cumulative sorrow of every other soul’s victims. Thus, there is a threefold effect of the plasma. There is the heat, the pressure, and thirdly, the continual reliving of the horrors inflicted upon the world. All these drove us into a frenzy, and we darted back and forth, frantically searching for a way out. Like pollywogs being heated in a chemistry beaker, dashing back and forth, seeking escape without hope or rest, exploring continually for relief without end, howling in despair.
Psalm 18:4-5 – New King James Version
The pangs of death surrounded me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. 5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.
While I believed there was no escape from the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, despite this belief, I was instantly relocated to a large, searing, hot cave. Read my next posting as I face Satan in the depths of Hell. You can find it here: IN HELL – CONFRONTED BY THE DEVIL. I have added some reference material below to help you understand my experience better.
What is Spiritual Golgotha?
Golgotha, which translates as the place of the Skull, has been used to identify the place where Jesus Christ was crucified. Here is a scripture that supports this notion.
Matthew 27:33-35 – New King James Version
33 And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull, 34 they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink. 35 Then they crucified Him and divided His garments, casting lots…
The Crucifixion of Jesus
In the spiritual realm, Golgotha contains the Lake of Fire, the place of the second death.
What is the Lake of Fire and Brimstone?
It is the pace of the second death. Here is a scripture that identifies what this is.
Revelation 21:6-8 – New King James Version
6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
In my prior posting, I communicated that I had been struck with a life-threatening pancreas disorder that sent me to an intensive care unit. After the doctors did all they could, they left, believing that I would likely not make it through the night. As I drifted toward unconsciousness, I left my body. I traveled through space and time on a course toward an enormous human skull (Spiritual Golgotha) suspended in space. The rest of the story follows:
The pangs of death surrounded me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. (Psalm 18:4)
I passed through the skull’s open eye socket and entered the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, the place of the second death.
And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. (Revelation 21:6 – 8)
I swam in the lake’s luminous yellow-orange plasma and bore its excruciating heat and immense pressure. These conditions must be like the sun’s fusion reaction, where extreme heat and pressure result from the massive gravitational forces. The heat scorched me, and the pressure squeezed everything out of me. Innumerable souls were swimming there with me, white in color and in the general shape of tadpoles. They voyaged through this hot, orange ooze, wailing in agony on a journey that had no end. In addition to these tortures, each soul was in an everlasting state of agonizing over their sins, reliving, over and over, the harm and pain they had caused others. They also relived the emotions of remorse, guilt, anger, hatred, and fear that their victims felt due to their actions perpetually.
The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me. (Psalm 18:5)
But even worse, the plasma provided still more misery. The wailing and emotions of each soul there were transmitted into the plasma and were received by every other soul there. Unbelievably, every soul simultaneously experienced the pain and remorse that every other soul experienced. The compounded effect of these conditions was overwhelming. Still, they had no choice but to exist in this continual torment that drove them into raging madness. Therefore, they darted back and forth like pollywogs in a beaker placed over a flaming Bunsen burner. Desperate for escape but without hope or rest, they scoured continuously, seeking an escape that did not exist.
In my prior postings I have told you about a severe medical condition that resulted in my admittance to an intensive care unit with a life threatening pancreases problem. It was there that I left my body behind and traveled through space and time, having not idea where I was going. This posting is the continuation of this story.
I continued to look around as I traveled through space and time. I noticed that there was a slightly larger object than the rest in the stars ahead. As I approached this object I noticed that its shape was different as well. It was not spherical like the stars, but I could not as yet make out its shape.
Suddenly, a strange and repulsive odor arrived. It was faint at first, and I found myself sniffing in an effort to identify what it was. Then, the awful odor hit me full strength like a wave crashing onto the shore. Its stench overwhelmed and choked me. It was then that I realized that odor was decaying human flesh. The smell of death was making me sick.
Then I started to hear sounds again. They also were faded at first and seemed almost melodic. I tried to identify the sounds were but could not. However, I noticed that they seemed to be getting louder as I approached the strange object before me. Then suddenly, a chill ran through me as I recognized the sound. It was the sound of a mass of people wailing in torment and agony. It was the sound of thousands or perhaps millions of souls simultaneously crying out in pain and despair. It was the perpetual song of torment that invaded me. It evoked in me a very depressing and gut wrenching feeling of agony and despair.
I looked up again to check my heading. I could see that I was still moving rapidly toward the now larger, white object in space. I also noticed that my s-curves were seemingly larger as I approached. One thing was certain now—I was heading directly toward this thing, what ever it was.
I soon realized that both the putrid odor and wailing sounds were coming from it. I continued watching the object as I meandered through space. The image grew larger until I saw what I wished that I did not. It was a gigantic, degenerated human skull floating in space without a body.
Skull_by_JKrushal
The cranium still contained bits of flesh and hair in various places. But, in general, it was seriously deteriorated and decayed. Parts of the face had no skin but revealed the underlying muscle and ligaments. In other areas of the face, the muscle and ligaments were gone and revealed the bony structure of the skull. The jaw area had completely deteriorated and exposed the teeth and jawbones that seemed to project an evil smirk. The right eye was missing; it was from here that the sounds and the stench escaped. These awful things were coming from deep inside the skull.
I continued moving closer to the skull of death and as I did, I was amazed at its enormous size. Still traversing in sine wave pattern, the ship’s movement from side to side now took me from one edge of the skull to the other. Soon afterward, all I could see before me was the skull and yet my momentum continued to carry me forward in an obvious collision course. I saw the skull grow in size as I rapidly approached. It was then that I knew just how small and insignificant I was.
I approached even closer until all I could see was the open eye socket before me as I slithered my way toward this “place of the skull” or Golgotha.
John 19:16 – 18 Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led Him away. And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, here they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.
I continued forward, entering the open eye socket and watching as it engulfed me. I got a close up view of the remnants of ligaments and tissues inside the eye socket.
And yet I continued steadily forward, moving now into total darkness. Even in complete obscurity I continued on until I entered through an open passageway that I could not see. For now my journey was over. I wondered what might lie ahead.
So my journey into the spiritual realm had begun. My travels took me to the place of spiritual death. The spiritual equivalent of Golgotha, or the place of the skull, the place they killed Jesus. The journey was not over however. I had just entered the passage way to the Lake of Fire, which has been described as the second death in the book of Revelation. Our next posting will cover my experiences there in detail.
In my prior posting I told you about sever stomach pains that resulted in a trip to the emergency room and ultimately to the intensive care unit. The diagnosis was a life threatening pancreases problem. There is nothing the doctors can do except provide me with pain medicine and hope I pull through. They tell my family that I will unlikely make it through the night.
Unaware of this information, I lay in a bed wondering what will come of all of this. The nurse turns off the light which means that their work for the day has been done. I dose off and then separate from my body to enter the spiritual realm (also see The-Day-Everything-Changed).
I found myself sitting with my legs crossed, sitting on an invisible surface, seemingly suspended in space. I knew that the invisible surface was there because I could feel it underneath me. I also knew that there was a transparent dome covering me, although I can not explain how I knew that. The dome allowed me to see in every direction while, at the same time, protecting me like the windows in a car. This craft seemed to me to be something akin to a one passenger space ship. So, there I sat floating in the blackness of space with the lights of billions of stars all around me.
It was then that I realized that I was about to travel through space and time. Once again I have no idea how I know this. It is like a thought has been inserted into my brain.
The next thing that I noticed was the initial sensation of movement. Progress was slow at first but gradually accelerated into the vastness.
I then started to hear the voices of people and conversations, or portions of them. One spoken fragment would be followed immediately by another as I traveled past them. The sensation would be like one driving a car past a long line of people who were all engaged in dialog. It was as if I was passing miles and miles of talking people.
As I accelerated, the words came more rapidly, were higher pitched and less recognizable. Eventually, there were only a few words that I could recognize, and they soon turned into unrecognizable bleeps. I felt that I was traveling through the lives of others and listening in on their conversations. As the acceleration continued, and the voices became just blips—short pluses of sound like Morse code, eventually turning into the squelching sound made on an older radio when you turn the dial very rapidly across an entire range of stations.
The ship was moving through time. Once again, for some reason I knew that I was passing the fleeting voices of future conversations in my life. They were sounds of a future that I was not likely to have. Suddenly these sounds just stopped and total silence returned. I thought, based on the duration of the voices, that I would have had a very long life.
I then attempted to identify my location. At first, all I could see were the stars and the blackness of space all around me. Then I noticed that I was not traveling in a straight line through space as I had thought. Rather, I was weaving back and forth like the s-shaped curves a snake makes as it moves forward. I would first veer to the left, curve around to the original direction and then swing way back to the right before initiating the cycle all over again. Back and forth I went even though I maintained one true heading forward. I was traveling through space in the path of a sine wave, weaving back and fourth but still progressing forward in a straight line.
I would soon find out that my destination was Golgotha, the place of the skull (dead). I will tell you all about this in my next posting.
