Spiritual Surgery

Daniel Millard 1976 (Medford, OR)



The soul of a human is designed to heal and survive our wounding

However deep it may be there is a soothing balm made specifically for each heart

The calling out, the crying and reaching is universal

So too are the kind and gentle vibrations of love that make their way to us

Billions of souls, each unique yet all are one

I once had a very powerful and positive experience.  I was having a sort of psychotic episode as I’ve had many many times throughout my life.  Part of my experience with bipolar disorder.  Anyway I was lying in the warm bath water in the tub of my fathers house.  Suddenly my body was vibrating and I felt my actual Spirit being lifted out of my body, slowly and gently, up higher and higher.  I was not sure if I was dying but I was not in fear of anything.  My spirit was lifted 50 to 100 feet above the house in the sky where I saw the trees surrounding me.  I cannot be certain for how long and it is unknown to me what was happening.  I believe it was a type of healing taking place but by unseen forces.  Possibly angelic beings but I cannot say because I only felt it.  I saw nothing but sky and trees.  When it was complete I came back into my body and I was taken to a mental hospital.  There at the hospital I saw men surrounded in pastel light and was able to communicate with them with my mind.  There was a knowing.  They knew me completely and I was very comfortable with the three of them.  This all happened over twenty years ago and for some reason all of these memories came back to the forefront of my mind today.

    This truly takes my breath away. I feel the immediacy of this powerful, numinous event, and am reminded of the great paradox that life can hold such great pain and such boundless grace, in the very same moment. And more, it is a potent reminder that even pain that seems endless, will end, while the unimaginable love that we are held in is eternal.
