I had a vision once of us all riding our Spaceship Earth through a far-reaching yet invisible, cosmic cloud of darkness, one that has kept the Spiritual Light of the universe from ever reaching us in its true brilliance, leaving us only partly illuminated. Because of this, most of us have come to identify with our own inner darkness, with our own petty fears and other negativities.

However, it has always been possible for some of us to maintain our Spiritual Light, even while passing through this great galactic darkness. It has even been possible for some of us who have given over our lives to Spirit to light the way for others. All of us can do this. All of us carry within us a racial memory of a time when we still did know the Light. At some level, we all know that it is our birthright, and that, no matter how deeply we have been caught up in the cloud of darkness, we can always find the Light within ourselves again.

Whenever I am outside of myself and watching Mother Earth move through this cosmic cloud, I see an ending to it, a place and time where and when the cloud ends and the Light begins again to stream freely through our part of the universe, reawakening all life to full awareness and to full realization of its true potential. Right now, we are at the very edge of this cloud. The Light is about to return. As Dylan sings, “The darkest hour is right before the dawn.”

The discovery of acid was a powerfully illuminating event that has convinced me that the transformation from the darkness to the Light will occur soon. Acid itself is pure Light in material form and has come to prepare us for the Cosmic Light. Although that great Light – called by some the Face of God – has been said to be blinding, those of us who have mastered acid will not be blinded. We’ll just think that someone has dosed us – at least until we don’t come down. We’ll be quite at home with this new world bathed in Sacred Light because we’ve been there so often before.
