Read Alex Opalstone and the Window of Heaven's View: Life 101 Part 1 Page 2


  One year had passed since that dreadful memory of that fight and Alex was one year older and one year wiser. With so many sorrows in the world, many of which seemed to happen whenever Dex was around, Alex couldn’t help but to wonder why God would allow so much suffering.

  One night, as she lay pondering upon why life can be so happy sometimes yet so sad at others, she drifted off to sleep and had a dream she’d never had before. It was totally surreal. She dreamt she saw the peaceful, misty white background of heaven, where the white curtains to a levitating wood framed window magically drew themselves open to reveal the deep and rich colors of outer space that came closer in view. The window itself expanded with the glorious panoramic scene of the universe unfolding an unobstructed vision of a divinely planned repeat of heavenly history.

  In the vast darkness of outer space with various planets and elements showing forth colors of vibrant blues, indigos, greens, magentas and yellows scattered among an endless blanket of brightly glowing white stars, a large beautiful and green endless grape vine floated in space, flowing and glowing in a radiance of white light that grew and grew while appearing closer in view. From this large and splendid Vine blossomed several thousand grapes, thousands of scrolls of ancient writings and one single planet earth.

  The view zoomed in on the new uninhabited planet. A few small islands resided near a single large land mass that took up roughly one third of the available space in an ocean that otherwise covered the marvelous new globe. Other than this one large land mass and the other tiny islands near it, there is no other land on the entire sphere.

  This earth fell from the Vine to its appointed place in space and although it seemed to be separate and apart from the Vine, a single strand of bright light revealed that it is anything but separated as the power and force that emanates with love continued to connect this new earth to its Creator. The light was invisible to mortal eyes. Nearby a large sun shined forth its first rays of light to the right of the newborn earth while on its left a new moon and then stars shined forth their first beams of light.

  Beginning its natural rotation in space, several thousand tiny drops of bright white light began to gently shoot forth from the Vine. The contrast of the blackness of outer space made the light practically blinding to look at directly. These small drops of lightning bright light fired forth and took their places on the giant land mass as well as the smaller islands to cling to their appointed place becoming colorful, mature grasses, trees, flowers and various kinds of shrubbery. Several more drops of light land in the bodies of water across the globe.

  Then, after a few brief moments, a shower of tiny targeted creations of brilliant white light shot forth from the Vine again landing upon the great land and into the depths of the ocean bringing into creation all kinds of animal life in their adult forms as lions, bears, elephants, chickens, tigers, and fishes of all kinds. Birds and insects and every type of animal life were created and began to fulfill their unique purposes.

  These showered lights of creation eventually slowed to a stop and there were a few moments of reverent silence as this new world continued to rotate in space near the brilliantly radiant Vine. All of these lights of creation remained connected to the Vine by a lifeline of bright white light.

  Then a single tiny ball of shimmering white light was birthed from the Vine and took its place on the large mass of land introducing the first human, a man, into this beautiful world. Then, in an effort to perfect the man and all humankind, very shortly thereafter another shimmering ball of white light was again birthed from the Vine and took its place as another human, a woman, placing her closest to the first ball of shining light on the land, the man. Both orbs of light and all previous showers of light had their own individual strand of shining light that kept them connected to the Vine.

  The second ball of human light then severed her life saving connection to the Vine and the first ball of light, the man, did the same. Then all strands of light broke from the Vine and disappeared so that none remained connected to the Vine thus leaving only a small flickering flame of spiritual light to remain deep within all living things.

  The two human orbs of light then moved together to a different point on the land far from where they originated. The first ball of light went and found a lamb and brought it near the second ball of light and placed it upon an altar of rocks to be sacrificed.

  The inner light of the lamb separated from its body and left the earth. Moving through space it returned to the Vine. This sacrifice – a symbolic prophecy of the future fulfillment of God’s sacrifice to save the souls of all humankind – resulted in the reattachment of the vital lifesaving strand of salvation as an ever more brilliant, lightning bright white light for both the woman and the man and all forms of animal life towards future immortality.

  Then a single tiny ball of light was birthed from the Vine as another human, this time as an infant, and landed near the two original spheres of light. This third birth as the first human born to mortal man and woman began life with its own connection back to the Vine via a life saving strand of glorious white light until several years passed and it eventually became separated from the Vine leaving only a small flickering flame of spiritual light to remain deep within its soul. Anytime after separation the third human may freely choose whether or not to reconnect to the Vine.

  Then a fourth single tiny ball of light as a second infant mortal was birthed and gently landed close to the first three while arriving with its own line of light until time passed and separation occurred and the fourth mortal must choose to either reconnect or not to its original divine Parent Vine for the blessings of eternal heavenly relations.

  This cycle is repeated with the fifth birth as well as the sixth and seventh and all other new arrivals as human infants. Slowly but surely the pace of the increasing number of spirits birthed as mortals becomes a little faster and a little faster and a little faster.

  Some human orbs of light shined more brightly than others as they arrived in birth and the increasing number and pace of births began to cross paths with other lights that were departing earth through death. Mostly animals departed at first and eventually humans began to return to the Vine through death. This coming and going of various balls of lights remained constant while gradually increasing in numbers.

  Time showed that some human orbs of light chose not to reattach to the Vine’s nurturing white outstretched branches once their line separated while others chose to reconnect with the Great Vine.

  The view zoomed in on a specific point on the great mass of land to magnify a scene where several prophets of old were writing on scrolls. The earth then slowly rotated as many of these scrolls became individual books that then floated up into the air and then stuck to each other as a magnet of a small library of books that came together on a shelf until finally they became one single large book.

  The large book grew larger and larger until it covered nearly two thirds of the large land mass. The view of the earth then tilted down below this large book to a lower section of the land to reveal several more prophets writing on what appeared to be brass or gold paper of which all of these writings became individual books that, like the large book, merged into another book which continued to grow until it became about half of the size of the first book.

  These two books radiated with a white light that shined brighter than the sun as they rested side by side so massive in size that they entirely covered the large body of land on the earth.

  Alex sat up straight in bed and wide awake. “That’s a record-breaker!” she whispered to herself in shock. She kept a record of dreams she had over the years and ranked them by importance. This one was off the charts. Nothing like that had ever happened to her before. She wondered why she was given the dream more than she wondered what it meant as she was clear what most of the symbolism meant. She knew she had better record it now before she forgot any details.

  She looked at the clock. It was 4:30 am. She reached over by he
r desk and grabbed her digital voice recorder and began repeating the dream back to herself as an audio journal. She decided she could transcribe it later.

  When she finished recording, she turned the recorder off. She saw that she could sleep another hour before her alarm would go off so she decided to get more sleep.
