Susceptible To Spiritual Experience

RH

A note from Dr. Hendrix

I once woke from a dream so vivid I made real decisions because of it, and later, mowing my lawn, I heard a voice that made promises I’ve never forgotten. This piece gathers those strange, spiritual moments together. I wrote it because I’ve long been susceptible to these experiences, and I’d rather examine them honestly than explain them away.

I woke up from a dream It was no ordinary dream   I made decisions based on this dream One day something happened just like in the dream   I’ve had lots of dreams This one was more real than a dream   I considered this a spiritual dream Because it wasn’t like any other dream   While cutting my lawn I heard a voice I was given promises by this voice   I memorized the words of this voice This was not an inside my head voice   This was an outside my head voice This was a spiritual voice   I started asking questions of this spiritual voice Answers came immediately from the voice   After a time the voice became an inside my head voice After a while I gave up asking questions of the voice   This is when my obsession with the rational mind began I never want my work with the rational mind to end   But it happened again The spiritual mind began again   I leaned over a rail To observe Roman ruins   I saw a man appear under an arch He was as old as the arch   He said he made the arch He said it was a two thousand year old arch   I’ll be more careful this time around It was a spiritual vision of a man I saw   Brick Arch in Rome I was leaning over a rail Looking at ruins below   I spotted a brick arch Sitting under it appeared a man   He looked up at me You like the brick arch I made, he asked   Yes I do I said This arch is two thousand years old he then said   There’s sweat dropping from your brow I said I’ve made more than one arch today he said   You’re just like me Except I don’t make arches I said   Yes, I’m just like you Did you expect anything less he said
