"What if...?" — Part IV

From Part III…

Just as the Master completed His Words, a brilliant light appeared, and a being, who wielded a flaming sword, stepped forth.  Placing His Hands on Adam’s head, and looking into his eyes, the Master Spoke with a tenderness hard to describe:  Be not afraid, Adam…for this is NOT the end.  I will find you, my friend.  And, with that, the flaming sword was swung, and Adam’s head was sliced from the rest of his body.  For a moment, Adam’s body just seemed to hang in mid air until finally it dropped to the ground.  Still holding Adam’s head in His Hands, and with tears still streaming, the Master looked into Adam's lifeless eyes and repeated the Words He’d just spoken…

Yes, I will find you...

And, now, Part IV…

Eve and the Father arrived at the Place of Peace late in the afternoon.  Whoever had been there had, quite obviously, departed hours before.

Surveying the surroundings, the Father smiled.  It's been done, He said—more to Himself than to Eve.

"What has?  Eve asked.

The work of peace, the Father said, turning toward her.  My son, Adam—your next of kin, has fulfilled the requirements for redemption.  And now My Only Begotten has gone to reclaim him.

Eve looked at the large slab before them.  Perhaps this was the origin of the column of smoke they saw earlier.  The Father walked over to the slab and, handing Eve a hyssop branch, motioned for her to assist Him.  Opening up His cloak, He spread it out just below the slab.  Sweep, my daughter, the Father said with great satisfaction over the Day's work.



Adam awoke, but he knew not where. 

Adam, he heard in his mind.  Adam!

“Yes?”

It is I, Adam.  Be not afraid...for it is I.

“Where are you, Lord?”

Inside you.

"How is that possible?"

With Me all things are possible.  You have become a dwelling place for the Echo of My Eternal presence, Adam.  No longer will you need to search outside of yourself for Me, for I AM in you...and a very present part of who you have become...


…for you have become one with Love, Adam.  In fact, I have become the Spirit of Love and Life within the marrow of your very soul.
