The Truth

One might have a dream about some invisible, omnipotent being chasing you down a long corridor of rooms. The entity that is chasing you in this spiritual sense is ‘God’. The rooms are brightly lit, and in fear and panic that God will catch up with you and your conscience, you flee from room to room. They are separated by doors. You open a door and flee to the next room, but always God is close behind – on the point of catching up with you. You run, and your breath races and your heart pounds rapidly. Always you are fleeing, and always God is catching up on you, with each passing second. Ultimately, in one of the rooms, he catches up with you, and you are his; enveloped in light.

The tasty cake signifies that the future holds bright prospects. The imagery is true to life …

If you take up pottery for a hobby you go for classes. Then at home you make a studio, get a potters-wheel, and in your own private time you practice to your hobby. Soon you will get the knack of it, and learn to make wonderful crockery like plates, cups and bowls. With practice it is only a matter of time before you get it right. This is true of any hobby or profession…

The Creator

Like a potter shapes a bowl out of clay on his wheel, so God (life in this instance) shapes ones life. It forms our lives into a perfect vessel, and once finished we are the pride of his handiwork. People’s lives find perfection in this way…
