Later in the day, after supper and a snooze, I came to an unexpected realisation dating back to May 1999 in NL. I’d a dream at that time about ‘going to my destination’ and I associated that then with my going from Hoofddorp where I stayed with Okkie and Theresita to Krimpen a/d Yssel, where I’d stay at Helene and Peter’s residence. However, there was a complication in that the dream's destination was a vaguely named place ‘achtnietgbrg’. Try as I might at the time, I could not place that village, town or city and forgot about it as a result.
In the Fall of 1999 I met Hiltje who lived in Zwolle and I visited her there and living with her later on and from Hiltje’s place I made many trips in the surroundings. Together and alone we had tea at the restaurant at ‘Agnietenberg’ which has a cemetery nearby.
So, there I was realising that this ‘destination’ dream of mine was a pointer to the ‘Agnietenberg, its long gone 'school' and Thomas A Kempis.
That ‘Agnietenberg’ held some attraction for me and I went there quite often by myself. One time at that cemetery I noticed a very tall standing type grave stone. It told the story that Thomas a Kempis had lived and worked here back around 1360 and might have written his ‘Imitation of Christ’ there. This I all noted, but never made any connections until late last night.
It then just flowed together that my garbled destination name from that mentioned old dream that I could not make out, was the name ‘Agnietenberg’ and it was there that I found out about Thomas A Kempis, whom I’d always known about from my youth. So, there I was realising that this ‘destination’ dream of mine was a pointer to the ‘Agnietenberg, its long gone 'school' and Thomas A Kempis. Now, today I’m left to work out what the significance of this new and much belated association is.
What comes to mind is that I am occupied this year so far with the formulation of ‘An Amalgam World Belief’ and its various stages. One is “World Belief Origin”, which I delivered last March 18 at the Calgary Life Enrichment Centre. Now I’m working on “World Belief Conciliation” for June 10, as well at “teachings” for August.
My present observation is this, that last night’s insight emerged while I was busy with my ‘World Belief’ subject, yet the events that relate this insight had been available since my Dutch sojourn from 1999 to 2003. To me it is significant that this only now surfaces as an insight, while I am engaged with formulating a message of my own.
So far my relating these experiences, but now I must circumambulate all that for some time until the meaning of it will become clear. Relating and recording these experiences helps me in this gestation process from which a meaning will emerge; I trust.
