One of the most unusual mystical experiences occurred two nights ago when I could not sleep, and received guidance to put my hands in the air in the shape of a V. I was then led to move the fingers apart in twos in the shape–popularized by Spock as “live long & prosper”–which comes from the priestly blessing of the Israelite tribe of cohanim. I am a cohen, eldest of eldest, and this is my lineage.
I had only done the priestly blessing twice before–both times in a synagogue (once Orthodox, the other Kabbalistic).
This night, in a New York apartment building, I was guided from this position to recite the priestly blessing, which goes like this:
- May the LORDbless you and guard you –
- יְבָרֶכְךָ יהוה, וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ
- (“Yebhārēkh-khā Adhōnāy weyishmerēkhā …)
- May the LORDmake His face shed light upon you and be gracious unto you –
- יָאֵר יהוה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וִיחֻנֶּךָּ
- (“Yāʾēr Adhōnāy pānāw ēlekhā wiḥunnékkā …)
- May the LORDlift up His face unto you and give you peace –
- יִשָּׂא יהוה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם
- (“Yissā Adhōnāy pānāw ēlekhā wiyāsēm lekhā shālōm.“)
Now I thought I was saying this to my Dear Sweet Friend. My Dear Sweet Friend is someone I have known only a short time, but with whom I have already had many experiences on a much deeper level of consciousness. In fact, I was asking my Dear Sweet Friend’s soul to talk to her personality, because what has been happening is the kind of love that transcends these “meat suits”–it is not “falling in love” so much as recognizing the love that already exists at a soul level (and which may or may not be born out by personality encounters, but who cares; the love is beyond declarations; it is the merging of human love and love for the divine).
In any event, the next morning, my niece had her bat mitzvah. She did a beautiful job, and when my Mom made her “remarks,” my Mom actually gave the priestly blessing on behalf of our ancestors and tribe.
I was blown away. Here my Mom was channeling the priestly blessing, something she had never done nor had any of imagined she would do it. And yet, I could feel the power of the lineage come through her.
You have to realize that she is a scientist. Not a mystic.
Most people don’t get it if when you say something like, “I couldn’t fall asleep …. I was guided to put my hands in a V and spread my fingers apart and channel the priestly blessing of the ancient Israelite kohanim.” In this culture if you can’t sleep, it’s insomnia; and if there’s a bright beam of light in your face it’s not the radiance of the divine, no, it’s something you’ve imagined or maybe a Lunesta will help. I’ve simply come to be at peace with these experiences – why, because they happen, and I’m well integrated in daily life; and as well life has its own way of creating humility, as circumstances etch their path of truth into the illusions of who we think we are and delusions of grandeur our egos create. So, she did effortlessly something that came through me on an angel’s whisper. Validating my experience of transcendental urges.
That night I had strange dreams of being on a spaceship, facing turbulence in trying to break free from Earth; oddly, we landed on a planet called “Summerland.” Scientists were bathing in an idyllic creek, but there was algae slime on my suit. I reached for the stars, and asked for a good life on Earth.
I am reading about double eclipses and planetary transformations in consciousness, as we pioneer an age of love.
Another dear sweet one wrote:
You are the bridge between realities…. You will continue to be that bridge. When you make peace with it, this will be easier for you.We’re all moving in that direction you see that bridge now! Don’t fear it; make peace; acceptance will bring grace.
And so it is.
