I had wanted to ignore your thread and keep silent, but in the end, was 'compelled' to share 2 similar experiences with you, as is the reason I am
here on this site. Sit back, relax, have a cup of coffee and read on if you wish.....
Part I : Sharing of similar experiences.
======
It was years ago when I was still a regular military officer, and was given an assignment to lead a tactical HQ unit for a national guard excercise.
One night, after completing several phases of the tactical HQ assignments, we were told to stand down as the main HQ was in operation fully.
Being the officer in charge of the team comprising almost a battalion of them - intelligence, operations, communications and logistics, I decided that
night everyone should go 'non-tactical' and earn a good night rest of full sleep within the deployment area, without any guard duty, which is
certainly not by the books. I figured they had done well, and as long I remained awake ( which is not an issue as I was trained to survive without
full sleep and food for 7 days straight, sustaining only on water and yet remain fully optimal). It was only one night afterall and only an excercise,
with a bunch of laid back reservists.
As I was sitting in my jeep, staring at the stars and mulling over my personal issues around 1 am, from the corner of my right eye, I saw a being
dressed in army fatigue running across the deployment area. I told the grunts to sleep and was disappointed my order was disobeyed and curious, so I
got out of the vehicle and ran after that soldier, to get closer to him and find out which dept he was from.
When I got within 30 metres from him, I shouted for him to halt, with my rifle pointed at him. He came to a standstill immediately upon hearing my
voice. I too stopped, and under the full moonlight, he slowly turned his head and faced me.
I was stunned and shocked, for there was no features on the head! No ears, no eyes, no nose, mouth, nothing as the moon shone its light on the head!
Yet, being militarily trained, I had no fear, and approached him with my rifle still up. He then ran when I took my first step, into the edge of
heavily thickset forest.
I gave chase as i was curious as to who ( or what ) he was, with no intention to kill him, even though there were no live round in my rifle magazine
chambers. He reached and dived into the forest, and as it was a thickset forest, and very dark, again i was stunned when his face or body started to
shine brightly as he crashed his way through the thickets.
I stopped dead in my tracks, and decided not to risk following him alone, as I was responsible for a battalion of lives out there. I turned back and
intended to get a couple of guys to conduct a search, but while on the way back, thought better of it, as it would bereft my trooops of their precious
rest in a non-hostile enviroment and local ground.
Furthermore, my 5 senses were battling with me over what I had witnessed. I knew my military trainning would not lie to me, or I would have long been
dead in real battles, but it was beyond belief on what I saw. Thus that night, I kept special vigilance on the roof of my jeep, just to make sure
nothing happened. And nothing else did happened on that peaceful and calm night.
Part II :- My personal Epiphany.
----------
I am not sure if this part is related, but again it was an entirely white and glowing being I witnessed, but in broad daylight when I was but only 10
years old.
My parents were not Christians and were strict in upbringing of me. But my sisters were, and at the age of 5, I was often astounded by their calm,
peaceful and kind demeanours and wanted to learn more. Being an avid reader at the age, I was given a bible by my sisters, and I soon enraptured by
its contents, and would read and re-read it often, collaborate with other sources to find the veracity of its tales.
But there were other kids who were not christians at grade school, and often, being an inquisitive child, I would ponder. At the tender age of 10, I
did something that the Messiah told humanity not to do, and that was to put our Creator to the test.
I wanted strongly to believe and dispute my schoolmates comprehensions, and pray that HE revealed himself, with a bible on my hand. Immediately, I saw
a white figure on a tree outside the garden of my home, climbing down. He was all glowing white, with no discernable features, and soon reached the
ground, and started walking around the perimeter of my house.
I was stunned! Within seconds, he disappeared. I knew it could not be a dream for it was broad daylight and not sleeping. Immediately, I wept and had
been a believer since. My insignificant and a nobody only prayer was answered, right before my 5 senses. I pray daily, and part of my prayer was to
dedicate my life to the will of our Creator - 'Not my will, but thine'.
Some choosed to believe that having been given free will, to surrender it would mean one is denied of such gift, an oxymoron and even insult, an
enchainment. But I choose to believe that it is one of my choice, my free will, to follow the right path to fulfill our human destiny. An honour and a
priviledge, and a higher calling to serve mankind and be a servant to all.
Throughout my life, I still had to live, and had used reason and logic to get by as is my gift of free will. Many times, my intellect tells me not to
do something that is wrong, but in the end, I listened to my consciouness, and made that mistake, but learnt from it, a lesson that was prepared for
me so that I may progress and evolve.
I would like to claim credit for my successes, but in the end, I knew my path had been guided, by numerous blessings that could only come from our
Creator for I had faced many crises, but scraped through unharmed, and it could not have been my intellect, or 'luck'. I never believed in
coincidences Too many to be discounted...
Part III := What next for OP?
======
Sorry about the lengthy post, and all only about me, but it was intended to give you an insight on what you saw, and its aftermath.
Right now, you may be asking, what next? What was its meaning? Was it meant as a good omen or a bad one?
All I can share is that:-
1. Consider what you had been seeking in your life and find if what you witnessed honestly awakened may be related.
2. Good or bad omen, you still have free will, and so long as you harm or hurt no one, the good and the bad you had done, or did, or will only
continue to do, is your free choice, will and personal responsibility. We all reap what we sow in the end and those are our life lessons learnt and
shared if possible, to spare future generations our heartaches or elevate them without our personal suffering
3. There are many questions we will find no answers in this lifetime, but let it not hinder you on your own development. In the end, as it ultmately
will, for no human lives forever, truth will prevail, but by then, you and I will no longer bother as we become only specks of matter floating in the
expanding Universe, without a care or concern until our Creator decides to bestow another DNA created being with our matter/consciouness, another
chance at life again......
Cheers and thanks for reading, if you the reader had gotten this far! :-)
