And in my vision, behold, from upon high a great city desended upon earth.
The city had 12 gates make of perials, for the gates were the 12 deciples and the perials were cast not before swine, and none could enter the city save by the hearing of the word.

Within the gates was a road made of gold, the golden rule which is the pathway of the dwellers. And the walls were decorated in fine gems and valuable stones, which are the treasures laid away in heaven, the insights and understandings.

And the city was illuminated by one light, which shined by day and by night, which was the truth, and no darkness could be found.

And in the center of the city was a garden that had a spring of water, and four rivers flowed from the spring of water in four directons, the river Matthew, the river Luke, the river Mark, and the river John. And those who drink of the rivers thirsted no more.

And in the garden was a tree of life, and it's fruit was every word that comes out of the mouth of God, and those who ate of the tree had everlasting life, and hungared no more.

Interesting... care to explain any further? Not explain the symbolism - I think I get most of that, you make it fairly straightforard, I mean explain how this vision came to you and so on.

Communication with the Other, which results during or after meditative listening.

At the time I became receptive of this vision I was interested in the writings of John (book of revelations) where he patched together many symbols used through out scripture, and I wanted to find out if I could channel in the same kinds of connections like he did (not that I even came close to his collection) but that was one of the visonary interpretations I got concerning Biblical sayings from "out of the Blue".

I am sure there are other explainations as well, but for now that is it.

I will be posting another vision later.

Stargate Alantis - nope, never saw it. My impression was it might be another teen age science fiction program, so I never reviewed it. I did watch the complete Taken movie on TV - whew - took weeks to see them all. But it was a fun flick.

Loved the crystal link webpage. Now that is good old religion. (at least I am impressed by the topics and illustrations (will read it more in depth later).

I think the word "religion" used to mean "way of life". Which is different then a "belief system". For most people belief is a feeling they get on Sunday down at church. And they do not always manage to live the life they believe they should live according to their belief system. If you get my drift?

So from Monday to Saturday they conduct their way of life, and on Sunday they ask foregiveness and vow to do better (someday) relative to moral standards.
Chances of that are 6 to 1.

That is what I like about people such as the one who put up that Crystal Link webpage (just a first impression) because they live the life they believe in and belief is their way of life.
