Martinus comments on this event in "On the birth of my mission", chapter 16: Following the direction given in the borrowed book, I tried one evening to meditate on the concept of God. And suddenly, without knowing exactly how, I found myself in a conditon that made me feel in the presence of something immensely sublime. A small luminous point appeared in the distance. For a moment it disappeared. But a second later it became visible again, this time much nearer. I could now see that the light emanated from a Christ-like being, whose every detail was made of dazzling white light spangled with blue. The light was so intense and vivid that it reminded me of those sparklers we used to put on Christmas trees. The sparks in my revelation, however, were much, much smaller, but also much more numerous. There was again a pause, during which I found myself in darkness. But then the figure again illuminated the plateau. I looked directly into a figure made of fire. A Christ-being of dazzling brightness now moved straight towards me, raising its arms as if about to embrace me. I was totally paralysed. Unable to make the slightest move, I gazed straight at the radiant being's waist, now just in front of me and on a level with my eyes. But the figure kept moving forwards; and in the next moment it entered my own flesh and blood. A sublime feeling thrilled me. The paralysis left me. The divine light that had thus taken up residence within me enabled me to take a sweeping look at the world. *** When on the following morning I seated myself in the chair in which I had meditated, I was again at once enveloped in the divine light. I looked into a bright blue sky, which seemed to be drawn aside, so that another, still brighter sky appeared. And thus it continued until a sky appeared so exuberantlydazzling in its golden light and vibrating at such a velocity that I felt myself at the limit of what my organism and consciousness could endure. A single step, a single fraction of a second, more and the celestial oscillation, with the immense power of lightning, instantaneously would have put an end to my physical existence. But during the fractions of a second that the revelation lasted I experienced a world of holiness, purity, harmony and perfection. I found myself in an ocean of light. This was not, as in my first revelation, white as snow, but the colour of gold. Everything in every detail was fire of a golden lustre. Throughout were vibrating thin, golden filaments, glittering here and there, within and without. I felt that this was the very consciousness of God, his own sphere of thought. It was the substance, the omnipotence, the supreme power, through which the divine I ruled and directed oceans of worlds, galaxies and nebulae, in the microcosmos as well as in macrocosmos. I was spell-bound. The divine fire vibrated within me and without, above and below. "The spirit of God", which according to the Bible "moved upon the face of the waters", the "fire" that Moses saw burning in the thornbush, the "fire" that took Elijah into heaven, the "fire" through which Jesus was transfigured on the mountain, the "fire" that appeared above the heads of the apostles and subsequently changed Saul into Paul on his way to Damascus, the "fire" that throughout all times has been the "alpha" and "omega" in every form of sublime creation, manifestation or revelation blazed here before my own eyes, vibrated in my own breast, in my own heart, and enveloped my whole being. I felt I was bathing in an element of love. I was at the origin, the very source, of everything warm in a father's and mother's affection for their offspring, of mutual devotion in the amours of a young couple. I saw the power that made the hand sign the letter of pardon, abolish slavery, protect life's weaker ones, whether it be a little animal or a frail human being. I saw the sunshine that can melt the ice and remove the cold from every mind, transform the barren deserts of hopelessness and pessimism into fertile and sunny regions of consciousness, warm the heart, inspire the brain, making the individual forgive injustice, love his enemy, and understand the criminal. It was as if I was resting in the bosom of the Almighty. I was resting at the fountainhead of universal love, seeing divine perfection, seeing that I was one with the way, the truth and the life, and one with the great Father." |
