today's vision...

there were some vision-memories that came forward

and with this, a stream of light arose that wiped out these memories..

then this light moved forward like a ribbon..

toward the end of this imagery, a big house appeared with a wide porch..

moving closer, a large, thick branch or trunk of a tree with 

branches moving outward could be seen on the outside of the house 

it looked as if a form or body was resting in the crook
of this tree trunk image, but the form could not be made out well at first...

as the vision moved closer, the body that was resting there was dressed in a nun's habit

and behind her, the face of Christ appeared, rather thinly or misty in a way

was his face...

this house, it felt, was like the body that houses the spirit ...
the nun-spirit ushered me inside the house and up the stairs
the door was open at the top of the stairs...looking out
one could view the cosmos...
the sky was dark, the stars twinkled...the crescent moon was there
bright and glowing...

then this scene disappeared and what was seen was a form of a woman
her arms were outstretched, she was looking upward to the sky
raining down on her was light, a lot of light, streaming down in great rays..
her eyes were closed, her head back, her arms, chest and heart, wide open
she was basking in this light with great devotion, love and rejoicement...
then, there was an image of her feet as she entered into some water..
the water rose slowly up to her ankles... she kept walking forward
the water continued to rise and rise until it engulfed her entire form
i could see the water then coming towards my face, as if going over my head
then, this form was underwater, looking up at the sky and the clouds, with the light
filtering thru from below the water..

there was also an image of a plant growing in light and love which
represented the spirit growing...
and the message that the absolute is different than this, it does not
change, grow or develop, it is completely untouched by this...
it remains constant, undefiled and pure through all happenings...

also, some footprints leading to a great cliff in which there was a drop
off into the unknown were seen... one could see the footprints and see how they
vanished at the edge of the cliff...

lastly, before coming out of this vision, i heard the name shivasundari
which is the diksha name given to me by Guruji before receiving
the name Siddhananda.... it means the beauty of shiva in motion...

so this is what was heard:

shivasundari, shivasundari

I, I... trailing off into silence...

then, "there in the heart, rest quiet, let the sea of joy surge, speech and feeling cease"
(writing from Ramana)

shivasundari, shivasundari..

I, I.. trailing off into silence...


end of this vision...
