Going to church

[ThatMan]

My latest OBEs with the church have been all dark, always at night, with an atmosphere of fear and confusion but today this changed.

Today is the day of my grandma passing but I forgot about it, a week ago I told my father about it and forgot about it. So I woke up in the morning and can't remember much, I was awake and then blackness and then I found myself halfway on the street that leads to the local church. The church is placed on a hill. On the right side there's a more abrupt area.

I woke up walking towards the church, sudden awareness, happened many times like this. I knew that it was the dawn of a new day, you know, early in the morning. I looked around and then my attention was turned to the right side, on that abrupt area, there I saw an ax at the root of a tree. This ax was like forgotten there, quite in good condition. Spent some time thinking about it.

Decided to continue my walk, and once again, on that right side I see a light gray dove coming from the sky and landing right in front of me. Suddenly, this dove found itself trapped with a wire on one of its legs, then I noticed another dove already trapped there. This wire was connecting both doves making so that they could not fly. The second dove, the one already there was really stuck but this one that came down flying was "special", something about it. My first intention, to help it, as I was approaching, the dove was moving away still trying to escape, and it was moving towards the gate of the church but not on the road, but on that abrupt area. I tried several times but to no success and then I saw this dove entering a small trunk of a tree to find a safe place to cut that wire. This light gray dove was very agile and smart, it knew what it had to be done and it needed not my help.

This is when I heard some voices in the near by area, right near that abrupt area, voices of many men, masculine strong voices, they were coming out of that forest. I said to myself, time to go, to speed things up for people are coming. Then I noticed my dog, he was waiting for me at the gate of the church. I entered through the gate and here I was in the front area of the church, I looked around for a bit and then decided to go to my grandma's place. That's when I noticed this incredible view, the Sun was shining from that direction, everything looked full of life, the grass was alive, out of the ordinary, a graveyard looks nothing like that. This was like seeing a heavenly view, one that I saw a few times and always the light, that light had something about it, as if it was alive.

As I was approaching my grandma's place, suddenly I noticed an older lady dressed in clothes similar with the ones of my grandma. She was very close to my grandma's place. It seemed that she was looking around, inspecting that place. She noticed me and looked towards me, then she said something to me, something that I understood then but can't remember now. Something about time passing. I was too into that incredible view and was not able to absorb the message.

That's when I heard those men, they entered the church, these massive men, muscular and strong, hands like the branches of an old massive tree. They were talking and not aware of my presence, that's when I said that I can't stay anymore, that I have to go back home. When going back I noticed that one of those men was a neighbour of mine that I rarely talk and have almost no contact, it does not even live close to me.

A "ton" of symbolism. I did some research and found out that there's a dove called mourning dove, mine looked like that.

Nice read ThatMan - big axe, burly men, maybe she was saying stand guard at the church - who me... We need you on our moon trip with that axe, cut some wood up for a camp fire... You've been on a journey and half, and so young -nice to speak to you again after all this time...

My experiences are like this too bad I have a hard time grasping the messages behind them. Thank you, you too can reach as deep as me, just know that all is mental and that there's something even deeper than the mental, the source, from where the mental itself emerges. Inner realizations of one's nature have the power to open doors to the "unlimited" potential that is within us.
