A DIVINE COMMUNICATION
I was in my early thirties and living in San Francisco when this transcendent event occurred. It was the middle of the night, I was sound asleep and in the midst of a dream when a voice sharply interrupted asking, “Leslie, would you like to see what Heaven is like?” Initially, the voice having startled me and interrupted my dream, I was rather annoyed; not frightened, just annoyed. Yet, soon thereafter I realized the opportunity being presented to me and eagerly responded “yes!” At once, I felt the sensation of traveling upward at an unearthly rate of speed then suddenly, I found myself standing on a white floor with two large white columns, one on either side of me. My eyes immediately moved from one side of the vista before me to the other to take in the breathtakingly beautiful earth-like panorama of mountains, trees and colorful wildflowers. The crests of the mountains were rounded, not sharp like icy alpine mountain tops, and relatively nearby, not off at a very great distance.
It was an experience lasting for only a few seconds when I suddenly felt myself traveling downward at the same remarkable speed as before. Once stopped, completely conscious and astounded by what had just happened, I sat up in my bed and reached for the pack of cigarettes on my nightstand (having been a smoker then). Then next, I observed my bedroom door slowly open wide and completely on its own. I did not hear or see the door knob turn, I only observed the door as it was opening.
I told people of this experience and a few, knowing that I was an artist, asked me if what I saw was not a painting. The structure within which I was standing is reminiscent of a particular Maxfield Parrish painting titled Daybreak. Maxfield Parrish, along with Norman Rockwell, were two of my favorite American artists. I had then, and still have decades later, a book filled with beautiful reproductions of his artworks given to me by a friend as a birthday present a few years prior to this experience. I poured over those images repeatedly thinking “Oh, how I wish I could paint like him!” When referring to his work, I had often remarked that I believed he was painting Heaven on Earth. Yet, I dispensed with the theory that I dreamt of a painting wanting to believe that I was actually transported to a heavenly environment. Now I think they may have been right, it was a painting about Heaven on Earth that I was to create decades in the future; I was transported into the future!
Daybreak is a 33″ X 22″ oil on panel painting by Maxfield Parrish (1870 – 1966) and is regarded as the most popular art print of the 20th century based on the number of prints made: one for every four American homes.
Another similar incident occurred the night before during my sleep. Like as stated above, the voice interrupted my sleep and announced, “Soon a person will walk along the sidewalk underneath your window whistling.” As I continued to lay in bed wide awake, within a minute or so I heard someone below (my apartment was on the second floor of the building) walk by whistling. It was the kind of professional whistling one hears in a musical performance or in a movie and very beautiful. What embarrasses me about this a bit was my inertia and not raising my head to look out the window over my bed and downward to try and see who was whistling! Regardless, the angel, or guardian spirit, returned the next night.
This is where I think the story of my being transported to a Heaven on Earth environment becomes meaningful, especially today while taking into consideration that transcendent, mystical or miraculous events (including seeing into the future, precognition) are not constrained by space and time. As previously stated, they were right, I was looking at a painting, my own painting and one that I was to paint four decades later. Regarding the white marble-like structure I was standing on once vertically transported to the heavenly scene, I now tend to think it was not only suggestive of a painting but also a border, a place to stay put and not venture beyond, at least not then. Here I’ll explain:
A VISITOR FROM THE AFTERLIFE
I had a similarly unique, yet different, experience around 15 years ago [2007] during a dream where I was at a party. A very friendly young woman approached me and asked me what I did, I told her I was an artist following which she told me that she was in the Navy. Next, she instructed me to follow her downstairs and outside, which I did (we were on the 3rd, the top story of a building just as my art studio was at the time). She then told me to look across the street adding that I was absolutely not to cross the street over to the other side. I did as she instructed and saw my deceased Great Aunt Marguerite standing on the other side in a park setting smiling and waving at me. In actuality, across the street from my studio were commercial buildings. Marguerite Maher (1905 – 1999) was the second highest ranking female officer in the Navy during WW2.
At the time of her visit I was in an exceedingly difficult, stressful and dangerous situation, just as we all are now during WW3, being under constant assault, gangstalked (as I still am today) threatened and terrorized, by whom and why I did not know at the time. Now however, I believe it was forces paid and trained by the New World Order funded by the Davos Billionaires Club and quite intent on breaking the whole of the human spirit in many ways resulting in the deaths of billions with the remainder to become their subservient slaves. Her visit was most reassuring and still is to this day reminding me that absolutely, we cannot allow that to happen.
During that time I undoubtedly received divine, or supernatural assistance in the form of warnings, or the sudden appearance of critical documents (twice), or another suddenly got an insight that they conveyed to me; all of which came at crucial times and had I not paid attention, I would be in a very different situation today. I probably would not be alive in fact. We do have guardian angels willing to assist us.
Recently [July 2022] I was exchanging emails with a correspondent and describing what I was working on when it dawned on me, the correlation between my being transported to a Heaven on Earth like environment years ago and the painting I was near completing, The Story of Heaven on Earth.
As I stated above we are all, everyone worldwide, in a very frightening, dangerous and difficult situation. What did the person walking under my bedroom window whistling signify and how, like my painting, is that relevant to our present circumstances? A spiritual ‘whistleblower’ perhaps?
What about my painting? Is it just a lovely painting with but a couple of singularly personal miraculous experiences associated with it? No, I don’t think so. Who might the figure with the book represent and where is he headed with his story?
Along these lines, several years ago I was walking into a grocery store, yet my mind was on a stressful political situation (aren’t they all) having been politically active at the time. A middle-aged Hispanic man was walking out of the grocery store in my direction and as he did he looked directly into my eyes and began singing these lyrics:
Everything’s gonna be alright
Nobody’s gotta worry ’bout nothin
Don’t go hittin’ that panic button
It ain’t near as bad as you think
There aint no doubt it’s gonna work out …
… for here is another transcendent dream I had in July, 2019:
A DREAM FORETELLING OF A RADIANTLY BEAUTIFUL BRAND NEW EARTH!
Very early on a Sunday morning I woke up following what was perhaps a prophetic, or providential dream of global (not personal) significance. The dream was uniquely brilliant in color and detail which can suggest something more than just an ordinary dream occured. It was nighttime and I was standing outdoors looking up at a brightly lit full moon. Then, from further out in space, a huge spherical shaped moon-like object, or asteroid, appeared rapidly moving in the direction of the moon then crashed head-on into it shooting debris out in every direction, but also seeming to be merging with the moon. I was terrified, for I knew that this disaster would very soon impact the Earth and all life on the planet would then be completely annihilated. Then suddenly, in the sky above where the moons collided, appeared instead a perfect and radiantly beautiful brand new Earth. Immediately I awoke, sat up in my bed and said out loud, “Thank you God for this dream! Thank you!” I’ve never done that or anything like that before.
The movie poster below, surprisingly, perfectly illustrates the dream. I had not seen the movie nor before the dream seen this poster though I’ve since watched a couple of trailers learning that the woman in the poster plays the part of an astrophysicist. And, the leading theory regarding planet formation is known as the “protoplanet hypothesis” which claims that very small objects orbiting the sun crashed and merged together accumulating more and more objects eventually growing large enough to form planets.
Dr. Jacques Vallee’ is an internet pioneer, computer scientist, venture capitalist, author and ufologist. In mainstream science, he began his professional life as an astronomer at the Paris Observatory. He describes the universe as information systems. He states that, “Synchronicities are caused by a “Double Causality” – our observations and intentions cause effects in the future that become the future causes of present effects.” Vallee’ adds that we “Recognize the universe that we perceive as a sub-system of a meta-reality of information associations – an all information structure and all simultaneous.” Well worth pondering.
