Chapter 25.
Dahlia woke up slowly,
Feeling the warmth of the comforter around her.
Enra curled up against her back,
His right arm lying over her side on top of the cover.
As she snuggled in closer to his body,
She sighed with pleasure.
This was her favorite way to wake up and begin the day.
No alarm,
Just the open spaciousness of time with this man she loved.
Yawning,
Starting to stretch her body a little bit,
The memory of last night's conversation and Enra's dream suddenly came flooding through her awareness.
She sat up,
Immediately feeling her heart starting to race.
Enra rolled over,
Grumbling through a big yawn,
Still mostly asleep.
Dahlia started shaking his arm.
Enra,
Enra,
We need to talk about your dream last night and what this means.
Enra yawned again,
Rubbing his eyes,
Trying to wake up.
As the words registered,
His eyes flew open,
And he also sat up suddenly next to Dahlia.
Oh,
The dream,
Yes.
But Dahlia,
We were going to see Source.
It's the most amazing dream I've ever had.
I can't believe this is what's happening.
Dahlia felt the tears burning behind her eyes.
I don't feel like I'm ready to go yet,
Enra,
She said slowly.
I don't want to leave Earth,
And I don't want our lives to be over here.
I want to get married.
I want to have children with you.
Now the tears started to fall.
I didn't know how much I wanted all of those experiences until now when you're saying we won't be here for them.
Enra looked at her,
Tears also coming to his eyes.
He spoke slowly,
Knowing that each word was so important and that Dahlia knew the resonance of truth.
I really want to tell you that it was just a dream,
And we are going to have all of those future moments you and I both want,
He said.
But something is happening within our tribe and through these dreams.
What I experienced last night feels so true and so real,
Dahlia.
I can't lie and promise you the rest of our love story here on Earth.
I am so sorry.
Dahlia burst into tears,
Feeling the ending of her dream behind the words Enra was speaking.
She leaned into his arms and Enra pulled her close.
She could hear his voice echoing through his chest as he was talking,
But she couldn't make out the words.
Her throat was tight,
Her heart was pounding,
And her ears were popping with vibration as the impact of Enra's dream landed fully in this human moment.
As she allowed the tears to flow,
A montage of images were flashing through her mind.
The two of them on their wedding day,
Standing on the cliff in front of the ocean,
Holding hands.
The perfect little bungalow with a sold sign and flowers near the front door,
Enra picking her up to carry her across the threshold,
As she knew he would.
The moment when they were lying in bed,
Both of their hands on her pregnant belly,
Feeling the baby move.
It can't be over,
She said out loud.
We haven't even started.
Enra held her tightly as she cried,
Feeling the loss with her.
They sat this way for a while,
Allowing the emotions to flow.
I love you,
Dahlia,
Enra kept repeating.
I love you,
I'm right here.
Slowly the intensity of the grief started to move.
They agreed to get up,
Make a cup of coffee,
And move to the living room.
A half hour later,
Sitting on the couch together under a blanket,
Enra's arm around Dahlia's shoulders,
Her head against his chest,
They turned their attention to the call happening in a couple hours with their tribe.
I need to open our meeting by sharing this dream,
Enra said.
Dahlia nodded,
Agreeing.
They will probably have a similar reaction to me,
Dahlia said,
So we need to go slowly and allow them time for the same process you and I just moved through.
Yes,
Enra said,
It is going to be an emotional call.
I am glad you are the one that received this message for us,
Dahlia said.
You are so strong and steady and your trust is so complete.
You will be able to hold all of us through the acceptance of what is happening.
I know we are focusing on our experience of loss,
Enra said,
But Dahlia,
The feeling I had,
Knowing we were going directly into connection with Source,
It was the most incredible sensation in my dream.
I can feel it right now in this moment as I'm speaking to you.
I would like for us to focus on that as a tribe,
When we have moved through the initial shock together.
I believe that was the most important part of the dream,
And that is what I would like for us to expand on in our time together.
Then I believe you should lead today's meeting,
Dahlia said.
I will hold space for us,
But this is a moment for you to guide us forward.
Enra nodded.
Two hours later,
They were seated on the floor,
Side by side on their meditation cushions,
Laptop in front of them,
Smiling at these faces they already knew and loved so fully.
Good morning,
Dahlia said to the group.
How is everyone today?
After their initial greetings,
Dahlia said,
I would like for Enra to share the dream he had last night and then guide our visualization practice today.
Leaning back,
Dahlia put her hand on Enra's thigh and started visualizing deep grounding roots forming underneath the feet of each one in this group,
Sending the roots all the way down under the surface of the earth and deep down to the core of the earth,
Connecting the group energetically to the pulse of the planet.
As Enra spoke,
She watched the emotions moving across the five faces on the screen,
Feeling tears begin to flow out of her eyes also.
Truth has power,
She thought.
You can see truth when it is being shared,
Moving through human expressions.
Feeling tightness in her jaw as she struggled to control her own emotions,
Knowing each one was having their own reaction at the same time,
Dahlia slowly exhaled out.
Allowing the tears to flow,
Wiping them as they moved on her cheeks,
She consciously wiggled her jaw to loosen the tension.
Enra was handling everyone's reactions with such grace and kindness,
No anger or fear present at all.
He is remarkable,
She thought,
The perfect person to be delivering a message that none of these young adults wanted to hear just beginning their journeys.
As the emotions ebbed and flowed,
Dahlia visualized love in a soft shade of fuchsia moving through the group,
Soothing the heartache each one was expressing in their words back to Enra.
There was no point denying the future he was sharing with them.
It completely aligned with their experience the week before,
When svet had tapped into the ripples that would be emanating from Russia and China.
After a little while,
The energy in the group settled into calm acceptance.
So what do we do now?
Meg asked,
Putting voice to the question they were all pondering.
Enra spoke quietly but clearly.
I believe our focus needs to stay on love and hope.
Dahlia asked me earlier to guide our group in a visualization of walking together into that meeting space with Source.
Hearing his words,
All eyes grew wider,
And Dahlia could feel the sudden electrical charge happening in the space.
Enra was right,
He already knew what would most serve our time and attention,
Dahlia thought.
Seeing their heads nod,
Enra said,
Okay,
Then let us begin.
Please close your eyes and settle into a comfortable position.
Closing her own eyes,
Hearing everyone moving around,
And then the space becoming quiet,
Dahlia consciously relaxed her muscles,
Feeling Enra's hand cover hers on his thigh.
Let us all gather on the walkway I just described from my dream last night,
Enra said.
Visualize all of us,
Side by side,
In two rows.
Myself,
Dahlia,
And Svet in the first row.
Meg,
Sam,
Ama,
And Yuko in the second row.
As we are walking slightly uphill on this walkway,
There are doors up ahead.
Tall,
Wide doors that look like the entrance to an auditorium or big concert hall.
As we get near,
The doors are opening.
The room is mostly dark,
And yet no one seems to be afraid of entering this dark room.
There are lights on the ground to allow us to see where we are walking.
We walk in.
I feel like we are guided to the left.
It feels like a planetarium as I tune in more.
The kind of room where the roof can open and you can see all the stars of the universe.
It feels like that.
As we move to the left,
We make our way towards our row of seats.
I can see the rest of our soul tribe waiting for us.
Enra suddenly started sobbing and laughing at the same time.
They are here.
We are all being reunited.
But not at our roundtable.
We are being reunited with all,
With all roundtables.
Does this make sense,
He said through his tears?
The matching sobs validated what he was tapping into.
And Dahlia could feel the wave of love and joy moving through her body.
It was exactly what she had experienced the first time she saw Enra at the restaurant.
Pure love is the only way she could try to describe this sense of homecoming,
Of reuniting with those she loved the most in the entire world,
In the entire universe.
Enra was still speaking.
I see us all hugging and crying and laughing,
So,
So happy to be back together.
I hear similar sounds all through the auditorium.
There is such a sense of celebration in this room.
It is like a giant family reunion and we haven't seen each other in so long and we are finally back together.
I can hear love as a sound,
As a vibration,
Moving through the space in all different directions,
Like sound waves that are overlapping and echoing and bouncing off the walls and through the space.
Everyone is so purely filled with joy.
Exhaling,
Dahlia heard Enra also exhale,
Calming the intensity of energy running through the space.
Sniffing and wiping away her own tears,
Dahlia matched Enra's exhale,
Supporting his grounding of the group.
I see us all taking our seats,
And I hear and feel everyone else sitting down in the room,
Enra said.
Dahlia could feel the shift he was describing.
It felt like a commencement address,
Where the graduates had all walked into the room,
Found their seats,
Waved at their family and friends in the audience,
And were now sitting down,
Preparing for the speakers to begin the ceremony.
Enra spoke slowly.
I see a stage,
But it does not seem to be grounded.
It feels like a platform,
Floating in midair.
I get the sense I am seeing images that are consistent with what we would see on earth in our human experience,
In order to be able to understand and have some context for what is happening.
I don't get the sense this is actually what it looks like when we are truly in the presence of Source,
But I feel like these images are tools for us to be able to anchor in the vibration.
Yes,
Dahlia said out loud,
I have the same feeling,
Like we are being shown a movie that is made just for humans on earth.
Yes,
Enra said.
I see rows and rows of angels on the stage.
The front row are archangels.
There are so many.
It's like they continue as far out into the universe as possible.
It looks like the top of the room is open to the universe,
And this platform sits right where the walls of a room might end and the ceiling begin.
Dahlia nodded,
Also seeing what Enra was describing.
There is a hush,
As everyone knows Source is entering the space,
Enra said,
Speaking very slowly.
I feel all of our eyes closing,
He said.
Source is a vibration,
A frequency,
Not a physical presence,
Not an image we can even try to comprehend,
Which is why our eyes close and our hearts and inner third eyes are activated.
The only words I can offer in this moment are reverence,
Devotion,
One.
I feel grace.
I feel unity,
Connection.
I feel everything dissolving and merging.
Dahlia had no words.
The energy moving through her was indescribable,
Pure,
Quiet,
Accepting.
Time seemed suspended.
Enra had stopped speaking.
There was simply a sense of being fully aware of all sounds,
And just as quickly the energy moved through and Enra spoke quietly,
It is complete.
Hearing his words,
Dahlia sighed and then slowly exhaled out loud,
Feeling the tingles moving through her body.
Every nerve ending awake and buzzing,
She wiggled her jaw,
Loosening the tightness that was present again.
Enra also exhaled and then spoke.
I see us all sitting in our row,
With all of the other people in the auditorium.
The archangels and angels are coming forward,
And I know we are going to be guided to a place next.
This space feels like the clearinghouse before we all receive our next assignments.
Yes,
Dahlia softly said out loud,
Yes.
Enra continued.
Let's complete today's visualization at this point and start bringing ourselves fully back into this moment here on earth.
As they all started stretching and moving their bodies,
Slowly opening their eyes,
They all smiled at each other.
We are going home,
Amma said.
Home to the ship,
But then,
Home.
Yes,
Sam said,
This is good.
So good,
Nyuko agreed.
Enra leaned back,
Smiling.
Okay,
He said.
Our work now is to simply hold this awareness,
This understanding,
And trust whatever begins to happen.
Yes,
Yes,
Yes,
Yes.
Dahlia squeezed Enra's hand,
Feeling peaceful in a way she had not known before was possible.
All was well.
They were going home soon.
