Imagine

                                                                                            IMAGINE
                                                                 
    Imagine yourself lying on your back on a mound in a big clearing on top of a mountain. It's a clear night, there are no trees, and you can't see the horizons. Stars abound showing their brilliant light, even more so because you're away from the lights of cities, and towns. The only sounds in the air that you hear are the sounds of the night, natures song. There is no moon to show it's light. What do you see? Stars that are stretching out across the heavens in all directions, you begin to wonder how far do they go? Do they go out to infinity? They will go as far as you can imagine. Look while imagining to yourself the vastness of the heavens. Take a breath and imagine again, further expanding your mind. You will now see even farther, knowing you are seeing galaxies, homes to billions and billions of other stars like what you are seeing. You have now stretched your own self made boundaries, and could do this forever without ever reaching infinity.

    Now I ask you to imagine the earth disappearing from under you. You are now floating in space. You can roll, and spin, looking out into any direction you want without restriction. After a while, there is no sense of direction. There is no up or down, forward, or back. You begin to lose your sense of time, there are no reference points.Time as known by you has become meaningless, no days, hours, or even years. Eternity seemingly is found in the timelessness of space. In every direction that you look out into space it just stretches out forever. Forever is a time, isn't it? Maybe not. What you are experiencing? Eternity, time stretching the known universe and beyond? Is all of known time being represented to us all at once? Space and time (Infinity and eternity), just might not be just so easy to explain.

    You begin thinking while you are floating, where are you right now in space and time? The only logical thing is that you are here and now, correct? The next question is if you're here and now, where exactly do you exist in time? Looking out in all directions all you can see is the past. You can only see the universe and stars as they were a long time ago, because it takes light years for their light to reach your eyes. Does it seem, or feel like you are in the center of it all? Really, where are you in time, or space? Has time lost it's hold? Does everything just exist in the now? If you traveled out in any one direction toward any star, wouldn't you be traveling into the past of that star? Meanwhile, a star that was in the exact opposite direction would you be traveling into its future? Does time really have any meaning to you as you are floating in space? As you are floating, ask yourself who is here? All that you will be able to come up with is, I am, you are, me.
 
    Start putting this together. All you can really experience by seeing, is the past. You are living in the here and now. Your mind is making the future through your thoughts, imagination, hope, etc. Your mind lives in the future by ideas, or in the past from your memories. Then if your mind is making a future for you that has not happened yet, aren't you in control of what happens to you in the future? Why then can't you create whatever you want the future to be? Starting with a thought, an idea, a vision? Then because of this the universe, time, and space must follow what you create, correct? What does that make you? What have you become? A creator? I am (another name for God) has said "You will know that you are the sons (children) of God."

    Now floating though space you are left with five words describing who is here. I am, you are, me. I am (God) is now leaving. Leaving you with three words. You are me!

    Now imagine the earth is a gift, that is now under your feet. It was made for us to enjoy, our own playground. We are just children a play. If we trash it, we play in filth.We are told to clean up after ourselves, we will reap what we sow. Who is the caretaker? Who's responsibility is it to take care of the gift? If we have the power of creating for ourselves, aren't we? What are you waiting for?

    You may ask God where he (she) is? God will say I am everywhere and nowhere. Do you really want to know where I am? Does nowhere confuse you? I need just a little space to tell you where I am. Make it somewhere between the w and h of nowhere. Now here. I am now with you, and have giving you the power of creation. You are me. We are all one. I am is waiting for you to be who you are, to create a future for yourself that is infinite (without creative boundaries), and eternal.

    For those who have doubts, imagine yourself as a piece of gold. You could be the smallest particle that can only seen under a microscope. You could be  represented as a coin. You know you have value because everyone seeks you. You could be a gold medal, like one won at the Olympics, showing you where the best of the best. You could be a wedding band, showing the love of two special people becoming one. You could be a building, even a planet made of gold. No matter what form you take, you are gold, and always will be gold. If God were gold everything that is known or seen, is gold. Then everyone is gold, because of the fact you are a piece of God. Looking for, and seeking God should be easy, because within you is a piece of God. Look close. Besides God has said "Are you not more precious than gold."
