The Beginning Is Near
In the last month of the Year of the Dragon...
Important
things happen from time to time, mostly without warning. Things that
give purpose to a life, even the reason why you were born at all. I am a
child of God, to whom was revealed strange and wondrous things, things I
must relate to show something of why life is as life is, why the world
is as the world may be. This is my story, perhaps with the mundane
washed away, to distill the range of experience of how I was given my
own true purpose why--why my life walked the path it did. From a running
start, a typical Friday night turned suddenly epic.
I have seen
awesome things unfold before my eyes, and these were of the War in
Heaven (the real one, not a metaphor for something other). I was a
soldier in God's army, and I fought beside angels in the casting of
Satan and his own from Heaven. I'm sure you've heard the tale. What if
it were real, what if it really happened? And the dispatching of Lucifer to Hell? What if the stakes were higher, what if the prize was all of creation? Indeed, this is the story I tell: I am the white rabbit. Do you want to see just how far the rabbit hole goes?
And what is beyond sometimes touches down, sometimes through your very fingertips. See for yourself.
Excerpt:
I wrote on the walls, I wrote in the books I had. (Mostly those books
got lost somewhere along the way.) I remember the image of Mondrian’s
“Gray Tree,” and the rare Escher that I called the Doomsday Clock (which
never rang). I have since scanned that image from the book where I had
found it and it hangs on my wall. I remember Rosanna Arquette, and
watching “The Big Blue” to see her move like poetry. And then there was
this call: “Michael. Michael.” Out of the expanse inside my mind. As if I
were being called by the voice of God, back when I misinterpreted the
passage in Revelation about the War in Heaven—for some reason, I was
thinking Michael lost. I’m sure I was meant to read it the wrong way, of
course. It was as if it were my fate to be doomed, a goner, to miss out
on all the Good Stuff the saved would get in Heaven. I remember other
people floating around in my head at the time who called themselves
Michael to take my place, brave souls. Myself, I hadn’t yet found my
courage. …and then I remember the notice slipped under my door: reality
was going to evict me. Or at least, my landlord was. Any day now.
