Waking Dream: Tree Of Life Jill

(Friday, August 2, 2019)

After two days of travel, I arrived home last night from Jill’s “Healing the Ancestors” retreat in B.C. Completely exhausted, I crawled into bed and gazed out my west-facing window at the tall backyard pines.

Jill’s beautiful face appeared at the side of a treetop. Not just a sculptural image, but a highly active little movie. She transformed from her 70s to her 20s and every age in-between: laughing, chatting and engaging with another spirit that was not visible to me. The presence was strongest in my left eye but also perceived in my right. Breathtaking. I felt completely blessed by Jill. I have NEVER had that kind of vision. I knew it would last as long as I remained attentive. Eventually I had to close my eyes and sleep.
