There Is Someone Out There
Posted on June 14, 2009 - Filed Under Arts and Entertainment
In just over sixty years of existence, and with the blood of an artist and the mind of an analyst, I have experienced several events that made me ~literally~ drop my jaw. Since the day they unexpectedly showed up in my life, I have been mesmerized and fascinated by those events. As my nature mandates, they triggered my analytical mind. Today, I analyze my experiences and the conclusion I came to. Read on, and you be the judge.
As a brand new SCUBA diver, it was in one of my first incursions underwater when I rested at the sea bottom some 50 feet under. It was impossible not to notice such a splendid and magnificent scene. Plants, coral, and fish of beautiful colors and staggering shapes were living in crystal-clear water. It felt to me as if it was all brought in from another planet.
After several minutes, a curious six to seven inches in diameter flat-bodied fish yearned for a taste of me. His little mouth touched my leg several times. He did not hurt me, but possibly, he was intrigued about me. Up close, I could observe the bright yellow color of his body. It was a color that I have never seen on dry land. His eye was a perfect circle in deep black. Starting at his eye, two lines in a similarly deep black were separating from each other stretching towards the outer edges of his body, and graciously growing wider as they reached his tail.
I couldn't help to question myself if evolution can actually create such impactful combination of colors and design by shear coincidence or twists of fate. My mind was churning thoughts, concepts, and acquired knowledge when a strong feeling jolts me: “There is someone out there“. I was resting on the sea bottom and I could not afford to be breathless, but I felt like I was about to stop breathing. After a while, I began ascending to the surface breaking half of the SCUBA diving rules I was supposed to follow.
Far and away from that particular part of the world, I was visiting the tallest mountain in Spain. Actually, it is a volcano located in the island of Tenerife and inactive since 1908. After playing in the snow for a week-end, I began to descend toward the warm shores of the island. Suddenly, a glance in the rear-view mirror showed me an image with shapes and colors like a Monet painting. I could not help myself but to stop my car right away.
The view was impressive, and imposing.
To my left ~and well above my level on the road~ the mountain was mostly a silhouette contrasting against a deep blue sky as a bright moon was painting with silverish light the mountain's dense forest. To my right ~and below my level~ there was a layer of flat clouds. They looked like a gigantic lake of cotton surrounding the mountain. On the horizon, the reddish-orange sun was tinting the surface of that lake of cotton.
That day, I could afford to be breathless. I was also mesmerized and fascinated by the dramatic magnificence of such scene. Little it took for that same strong feeling that jolted me before to follow my fascination: “There is someone out there“, I said to myself. It must be someone who first designs, and then creates. It has to be someone who ~at the end~ combines each flawless design and presents us with these overwhelming creations for us to get a message.
Years go by, and my life unfolds. Like reminders, some other similar experiences occurred. Systematically, they all led me to the same conclusions which created that inescapable feeling that jolts me every time: “There is someone out there“.
It was not long ago when a woman showed up in my life. She explained that the receptiveness I had to those experiences spread throughout my life and the conclusion I came to on my own were both right. Moreover, she goes on saying, the strong feeling that jolted me during those events was accurate: “There is someone out there“.
She unveils to me that such being that flawlessly designed and so perfectly created what jolted me is the same being who still promises a brand new life. Unlike we are taught ~she continues~ that new life is not in a limbo where we will get painfully bored for eternity. No, it is not.
It is a new life on this planet Earth. It is a new life without illnesses. It is a new life without people that hate others, and without wars. It is a new life where food, sparkling water, and clean air will all be plentiful. It is a new life where wickedness stands no chance to succeed.
She distinctively points out that such life is meant for the righteous, the honorable, the obedient, and the worthy people who act on those qualities and in feelings of LOVE every minute of every day. I concluded that what she meant was that such a gift is exclusively meant for those who rightfully deserve it.
“He promises all of it in writing” she said before she vanished from my life as mysteriously as she showed up in it.
Would it be possible that whoever is out there
is a big and fat liar offering us such a superb
life with no intention of giving any of it to us ?
Of course, it is possible; but… is it likely ?
Be a wise judge. Your own judgment
will affect what might happen to you.
