Chapter 26: The Grand Hall

My Adi led me through a giant archway into the Grand Hall. The opening of the archway seemed to be made out of a liquid mirror, and before I passed through it, I looked at myself. It was me, I could tell it was my face, but I was transfigured as if I was radiating beauty. I was perfectly thin and youthful and glowing. I wasn’t fat, I wasn’t skinny, I do not know to describe it except that I was just right. I wasn’t a child, I wasn’t old, but I seemed to be at the age of thirty years old. I was wearing fine, white, silky robes that I could tell were a formal attire for a special event. As I passed through, the liquid of the mirror seemed to glide right off my robe like water beading on a water-resistant material.

As I emerged into the Grand Hall, I noticed there was an incredibly high ceiling, if it could be called a ceiling. The ceiling seemed to be made out of big white cumulus clouds with bright stars shining through them in the shape of the constellations. The walls were covered with grape vines with bunches of delicious looking purplish-red grape clusters. There was white marble made visible in the small gaps between the grape leaves.

There was a rectangular table with one short side, and the long side seemed to extend forever with periodic breaks to allow people to walk through. Evenly spaced at regular intervals were chairs, place settings, and a candelabra flower arrangement decoration. My Adi led me to a place setting that had my name carved on a white stone necklace. It wasn’t my name in my temporal life though, but somehow I knew that it was my new name. I took the necklace and put it around my neck with the stone hidden beneath my white robes. There were people filing into the Grand Hall and taking a seat at the settings around me, each led by a dazzling angel.

The chairs seemed to each be made out of a single pearl that was carved into a snowflake-like lace pattern. In front of each chair was a table setting. There were three plates in the center staked one on top of the other that seemed to be made out of a pure gold transparent crystal-like material. Above the plates to the right there were seven clear glass cups with stems and feet that looked like goblets and wine glasses. Above the plates to the left there was another small plate made out the same transparent crystal material with a pure gold hew. Surrounding the three plates on the center were twelve utensils made out of precious stones. Each seemed to be carved out of a single stone.

To the left of the three plates in the center were three forks. The first fork was made out of jasper, the second sapphire, and the third chalcedony. To the right of the three plates in the center were three knives, two forks and a spoon. The three knives were made out of emerald, sardonyx, and carnelian. The two forks were made out of chrysolite and beryl. The knife was made out of topaz. Above the three plates in the center between the small plate and the seven clear glass cups there was a fork above a spoon with the fork pointing to the right and spoon pointing to the left. The fork was made out of chrysoprase, and the spoon was made out of hyacinth. Resting across the one small plate in the corner was a knife pointing up and to the left. The diagonal pointing knife was made out of amethyst. On top of the three transparent gold plates at the center was a white silk napkin folded into the shape of a dove.

On the table toward its center was a candelabra with six candle arms evenly spaced around in a circle. Each candle arm had a platform to hold a candle at the end of it. Except, it wasn’t a candle at the end of it. Instead of candles, there were white roses with what looked like pink flaming tips. The tops of the roses seemed to be on fire like burning pink torches but the roses were never consumed. There were 6 beds of small white flowers that each had three white overlapping pedals. These 6 beds of small white flowers were in the shape a ball or dome at the center spaced between the 6 candle arms. There were also precious stones attached to crystal chains that dangled between the arms of the candelabra. There was a space for a seventh white rose with flaming tips in the center of the candelabra to make seven total.

The base of the candelabra seemed to be carved out of white marble, and it had elegant curved edges like sections of an hourglass partitioned by spherical knobs. The space surrounding the seventh white rose with flaming tips in the center of the candelabra was bursting with flowers with green stems extending outward like fireworks or the branches of a palm tree. The flower arrangement in the center of the candelabra seemed to be held together by wet foam that was invisible. Out of the center were green stems and leaves in a spiral pattern that were forest green with a hazy white coating coming out with leaves in a spiral pattern. There were also other green stems that looked like a bean stalked with leaves that looked like small green bells. There were some branches in a configuration resembling deer antlers with leaves that were in the shape of a green paddle. There were what looked like daisies interspersed throughout the center flower arrangement, which were small flowers with a yellow center and 12 small white pedals. I saw some flowers that looked like small sunflowers, but they were a peach-like color with a yellow center surrounded by a boarder of small pink pedals that resembled miniature flamingo feathers. There were some flowers that looked like a greenish dome covered with a cloudy white film.

On the table in front of the candelabra was a crystal viewing globe the size of a decent-sized Earth globe. I looked into the viewing globe and I saw a vision of seven tables in the shapes of the seven continents of earth. They seemed to be elaborate buffet tables completely covered with different types of gourmet food dishes. In the vision I focused in closer to the tables and noticed that they were marked with borders and country names like that of a map. Then I realized that the food was grouped by countries. Each country on the map table contained food from that country. In the vision I focused on the country I had lived in my temporal life and was able to fill my plate with some familiar food from many of my favorite dishes. I then focused out and exited the vision. I was still in the exact same position still looking at the crystal glowing globe. I realized that even though several minutes seemed to pass in the vision, only less than a second had actually gone by. I then looked at my plate and was pleased to find that the food I had selected in the vision had appeared on my plate. I looked up and saw familiar faces of my friends and family in my temporal life nearby. They were all smiling and happily eating their selections of food. We didn’t need to talk. We just knew. Everything tasted just as I remembered it tasting except somehow better. Nothing was rushed as if time was nothing anymore.

I didn’t seem to get full at all as if I could eat an endless amount of food. I look into the viewing globe again, and this time in the vision, I decided to be a little more adventurous selecting food from many different countries. When I focused out and exited the vision, my plate was full of what I had selected just as before. I cannot count how many courses I had, and each one seemed better than the last.

Suddenly the crystal glowing food globe glowed red in three quick spurts as if to signal an alert. When I looked into the viewing crystal globe this time I saw all the terrible events unfolding on Earth. I didn’t feel afraid or worried. I felt safe, calm, and peace as if I knew everything was going to work out, and everything was unfolding as it should, as it was always meant to. In the vision I could focus in and see anything that was occurring on earth at that time. I could rewind the vision as if it was a movie, but when I tried to fast forward the vision, it stopped when it reached what was occurring in the present. I could see anything I wanted, but it didn’t really matter to me much. Earth was a lifetime ago, and I was finally home and safe.
