On Perseverance: Summer Solstice Round Up: Signs of Contact with Sacred Fire # 9c in Series
On this first day of summer or summer solstice and the longest day of the year, I reflect on the spiritual testimony of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, one of the great souls of the past century. She is the third example of people who have discovered the Sacred Fire within. She tells the story of her experience at the Monroe Institute which trains people to connect with their Sacred Fire, the mystery within.
At the start of the program, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross felt all the horrors of every death she had witnessed. Gradually she developed faith in God and in herself. Then she discovered that she left her physical body as she saw herself as energy.
“I realized that I had left my physical body and become energy. Then in front of me, I saw many incredibly beautiful lotus blossoms. These blossoms opened very slowly and became brighter, more colorful and more exquisite, and as time passed they turned into one breathtaking and enormous lotus blossom. From behind the flower, I noticed a light—brighter
I knew I had to make it through this giant flower and eventually merge with the light. …
My vision, which extended for miles and miles, caused me to see everything, from a blade of grass to a wooden door, in its natural molecular structure, its vibration. I observed, with great awe and respect, that everything had a life, a divinity. All the while, I continued to move slowly through the lotus flower, toward the light. Finally, I was merged with it, one with warmth and love. A million everlasting orgasms cannot describe the sensation of love, warmth and sense of welcome that I experienced….”
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross described herself as "an ordinary woman" when it comes to spirituality. She never did regular meditations and she never had a guru. But her whole life was one of service and dedication to the welfare of the dying. Service to others and the wisdom and resources of the Monroe Institue assisted her in contacting her Inner Power.
