Although still visibly shaken from my frightful ordeal, I continued staring at him. Suddenly, it seemed as if I were looking through different eyes than mine, as if new worlds were opening before me. I felt the presence of an extremely powerful and loving force. And then, as if by a miracle, I began to feel that I was looking at the face of God. I fell to my knees overcome with awe and whispered, 'Forgive me, Lord. Although I didn't believe at first, now I know that You are truly my Lord and my God.'

'Get up,' He said, with warmth and love in His voice, 'No need to fall on knees and stuff like that.' I raised myself as God continued. 'It's easy to set up barriers and retain those barriers for a lifetime. You've all built walls, not only na- tion against nation, but neighbor against neighbor, friend against friend. You've even built walls between yourselves and me. In your present state, you've forgotten the joy and bliss of being close to me yet,if you search your deepest memories, you may have vague recollections of what it was like when the sons and daughters of God danced with joy on the morning of creation.

'This isn't the only place where life forms exist.Look up into the sky some clear night and see the millions of stars'universes within universes. Look up and you'll know that you are not alone in that vast expanse you call space. There are others, many others and all of them are my children.'

While God spoke I sat motionless in absolute silence.I felt such peace and calm that I forgot about my corporation and its financial troubles. Nothing seemed important except to sit there with Him and listen.

God continued, 'The universe is dynamic and changing; it continues to grow. Creation never stopped; it will continue forever. Wherever you are is the center of the universe and the mid-point of eternity. Nothing is static. What">All things change. But I do not change. The part of you that is Me and the part of Me that is you will forever remain changeless. So,even though seasons change and worlds change, I, God, do not change.'

'Lord, I'm overwhelmed,' I said.
