The air becomes charged  and the ground  is brilliantly
lit.  The  top  of my head begins  to prickle and be warmed
by the Light. Then I awaken.

      The message  in the dream seems to be two-fold: The
concept   of   surrender   becomes    the   key    to    inner
illumination  and  creative expression  in  the world. The
following   excerpt   from    the   Edgar   Cayce   readings
reiterates this message:

      "Though  chosen  to  be  a  channel,  thou  of
thyself may do nothing. The Spirit of the Christ
working   in   and   through  thee  will  bring  the
fruits  of the  Spirit  in  the experience of those
thou  would  lead  to  the  Light."  (E.C.  reading
281-19)

      I  have found  it  difficult  to  surrender  to something
which seems to be overwhelming  and totally "other." Yet
I  have  discovered  that  by  affirming  a  spiritual  ideal  I
have been  able  to  choose  a "mediator"  between myself
and   this   overwhelming   experience—a  mediator  who
does not lessen the experience  but who lends human and
tangible qualities to it.  As  I  have  invoked this mediator
in my waking prayer and meditation,  He  has become the
strength through which  I  have been able  to  surrender to
a powerful and transforming inner experience.

      I  am  with... [close friend]  and we are both aware that
we  are  dreaming.   We  begin  flying  crisscross  patterns
through  a large new auditorium  as  if  we are preparing it,
and consecrating it. We actually interpenetrate each other
as we simultaneously pass through the center of the room.
       At one point  I  see  him  standing  in  a doorway at the
back   of   the   auditorium,   talking  to  someone  standing
behind the door.  I know that it is Jesus! Anxiously,  I walk
through  the  door and look toward Him.  At first  I am only
able to see a bright white light.  But then  the light abruptly
changes into the clear form of the Master ...
