I pushed these things out of my mind as best I could, and began to grow as a Christian.
...started listening to gospel music...
I continued to grow stronger in the Lord...
...developed a very real love for God Almighty, and became engulfed in the presence of His son, Jesus.
...finished the OT up to Chronicles and all of the NT save Acts.
"When you first got here, I thought you were mean," Nellie once told me. "You looked too serious."
So I began to live surrounded by God's Spirit, going to church and studying my Bible. I started to smile and joke around, and made friends with the people I worked with.
Eventually I met Sara again. I had dreams of us in celestial bodies, with the other people I'd been born with. We were fighting the satans (the alien-looking things) and flying in a spaceship. I saw Glenn, my sister, and her bf Derek, along with the others, and I was leading them all.
My nightmares around this time were varied, but most of them pertained to either the end of the world, aliens attacking, or both. I fought them all off and ignored them.
Eventually Sara moved away to school and I became enamoured of Kaitlin. I had exploded as a Christian, and tried to fight this all off. I was unable, but God saved me and I walked away battered but still standing.
I had just fought off my guardian angel in a flesh body.
What bothered me though, was the fact that God had seemed so eager to 'kill' me at my first mistake. I was *hurt*, because I didn't understand why He would be so quick on the trigger with me. Considering what I'd come
out of, I was a saint. I resisted Kaitlin and fought off my spiritual attacker, but a lot of what had happened didn't make sense to me.
I was having an awful lot of energy being spent on me. The past 3 or 4 years had seemed amazing to me-I'd found things in my relationship with the Lord I had never known possible. I was a completely different person. But the entire time, this spirit had been attacking me, working on me.
So really, it seemed I was favoring the spirit that looked like a demon, and disobeying the spirit that looked like an angel. I wasn't even sure of what convinced me the guide was so evil in the first place. A psychic vision? What if all visions were evil? Wasn't it too coincidental to have a vision that the Christian was evil and the alien was really just showing me the truth? Maybe the vision came from the alien. I wondered if I was somehow fighting against God. Was the original plan for me to sin so that Christ could forgive me and have mercy on me? Was this atonement what the alien-thing so hated? Was it possible I was fighting against Jesus Christ? Was I trying to obey the law and not grace? Was I trying to steal from the Messiah's glory? Maybe God just wanted something to forgive me for.
This entire mental deliberation was very, very strange.
What was even more bizarre was that I seemed to have angels trying to get me to have sex.
I then had a dream where God was Uncle Phil, another where I was God's son and running away to do magic, and in between I'd had a dream where I was doing Kaitlin on my grill. (lol, "turn me over, David")??? God was going to kill me, the familiar seemed to be the only one who'd thrown up his hands and walked out of all this, and the guide just wanted me to get laid.
I was not entirely convinced I was still sane.
On top of *all* of this, I had the blond-haired man show up out of nowhere to tell me I could pick a better girl to sleep with than Kaitlin.
I understand now. I was being tempted with sex for a reason..which will shortly become clear. The demon was trying to get me to overcome the guardian angel because that angel belonged to heaven, which these earthbound spirits were against. There was a reason I was being tempted with sex, and a reason God so reacted to this in my dream.
At the height of all this, the bhm had come to me in my dreams to warn me about Kaitlin.
At first it seemed just a normal dream, but halfway through, it was interrupted and I found myself standing in front of the blond-haired man I seem to know.
He told me I needed to leave Kaitlin alone.
I remember this all took place in that same gray mist-like place, but we seemed to be standing on some kind of metal platform. At first he was standing to my left. At some point he walked around me, but I don't remember when. All I do remember is a bit of our argument.
"Why?!" I complained. "What would be so bad about me being with her?!" I think I was more mad at the entire drama surrounding it rather than the actual event.
"It would be...bad," was all he said.
I fumed and glared at him. "I never get to have anybody," I just about shouted. "Everybody else has whoever they want and I get NO ONE!"
Sad to admit, but yes, that's pretty much the way I felt.
He seemed uneasy and hesitant.
"If you're going to commit adultery," he said, "do it with somebody else."
The word for adultery might as well have been treason for the way he said it.
...and I woke up.
In this dream he ran through all the girls I would have a chance to marry and explained them to me. He never explained why Kaitlin was such a trap, but I believe she fit the temptation of the 'girl below my station in life'.
I was forbidden from talking to the NPS students, the non-prior service, the 18 and 19 year olds. We could not socialize with them, but we were required to lead them. One was a very cute girl who told me about her secret fetish for dressing like a bunny. (???) I mostly stood quiet and let her tell me about going to the beach and all about ladybugs. My subconcious, the back of my mind, seemed to be spinning as she did. I wasn't trying to channel, to communicate with another spirit, but the thoughts came as if I were. I saw a deck of tarot cards, an image of God, and the word 'destiny' in my mind. To me this meant that the situation was a test, one from God, and that it weighed heavily on my fate. I let the girl talk, and never said anything to her. Later on, another student like myself was expelled for going to a club with the NPS students.
It seemed to me that I was perpetually being tempted with girls below my station in life, whether it was because of their jobs (Heather), their age (Sandra), or some other intangible (this cute SP). Knowing the way the tarot worked, I realized this was one of my tests in life, and I wondered a little why.
This too will become clear.
The bhm also made a comment when he first appeared at this dream:
"You already have a wife! Or did you forget that too?!"
And I had no idea what he was talking about, but i remembered him saying it.
