I had another interesting happening while on retreat that I thought I'd share.
After my disturbed night with the spirit/vision, I decided to walk through the grounds to a place where I could sit amongst trees and watch the rising sun. I did just that and it was very still and peaceful with just the sounds of birds singing. I closed my eyes for a short while and then I saw a vision of a silver insect. I didn't know what it was at the time but it crawled across my line of vision. It looked like some sort of beetle. On impulse I decided to look up some spiritual symbols online (there is a very good site which lists hundreds with pictures) and as soon as I saw the symbol for the scarab (dung) beetle I knew that was exactly what I had saw. Even more incredible was when I read the description for that symbol and realised it represents the rising sun! I had absolutely no idea of this so I couldn't have imagined the vision. It also represents rebirth, creation etc. I thought that was a pretty amazing experience to have! :smile:
