We Are Portals

At the beginning, I found myself in a forest. I recognized it from a previous dive where I went up to a tree house and was given barrels of oil. I could see small creatures that might have been fairies flying around. Then, when I looked to my left, I could see a man. He was tall and had white hair that glowed. As I looked at the rest of him, it looked like his entire body glowed, though less so than his hair…

“Hold out your hand,” Marcus said. Then he traced something like a triangle and a circle on my right palm. When I looked at it there was metallic gold where he had written with his finger.

“What’s this about?” I wondered.

“Palms are a gateway, right? So, it’s best to keep a lock or a sign on them to control what goes in and out. It’s similar to the blood on the doorpost with the Israelites: it was a memo that didn’t let certain things cross the boundary. The mark of the beast was a counterfeit of that, notice that it too was on the right hand. The right hand is the strong or dominant hand so it was the representative for the two. The enemy always wishes to claim the gateways.”

“Control the gateways and you control the flow. Much of the battle is in the flow.”

“The enemy likes to place bouncers to do its best to cut off kingdom creatures from entering things, but if one belongs to the kingdom then the kingdom has authority to put markers on their doorway to keep the enemy out and allow good things in. What if I told you that the enemy had locked down the high places in a region so that good creatures had difficulty using them? Then how would we get in to that area?”

“You’d have to look for an alternate doorway.” I paused, then it hit me like an avalanche, “Us!?” I asked incredulously.

Marcus nodded, his eyes locked with mine. There was a very serious expression on his face.

“Wait, are you saying...?” I stopped as my head spun. “Marcus, what does this mean?”

“You are the gatekeepers, because you are the gates. You are not guarding mysterious gates and high places as you think. What better way to encrypt the entrance than to make the entrance the very beings of the kingdom. If the gate is in you then the only way it could be compromised is if you were compromised.”

“Are you saying there are no more high places anymore? None of those types of gates?”

“Let’s not get into that now. What I am saying is that there are alternative gates in the kingdom and they can be used powerfully.”

“Doesn’t that mean things, maybe even angels, would be flowing through me?” I questioned.

“Isn’t the kingdom of God supposed to flow through you?” His gaze pierced mine. The wrinkle in his brow showing how utterly serious he was.

“Uh, Marcus.” I groaned. “I don’t know how to think about this. It sounds so weird. Angels flowing through me, it sounds like possession, but temporarily and...with better creatures...”

“If demons can attach to you, why couldn’t angels?”

“But they’re like parasites, I thought what they did was bad!”

“Yes, you’re right, the way they do it is bad. But it does show you something interesting about things like your aura and how creatures can do some interesting blending with that.”

“Are we supposed to blend with angels though?” I asked.

“If I instead said that we were linked, would you feel any different about it?”

“Oh. Um yeah, probably.”

“Why?” Marcus asked me.

“Because that’s like a phone or wi-fi connection, we have an ability to send things back and forth to each other through a channel that we’re both tapped into.”

Marcus stared at me and raised an eyebrow.

“Ugh, but isn’t an aura different? I thought that was my personal space?”

“People blend with each other all the time. It is part of why in-person socialization is so important, because you don’t blend auras the same way over distance. In fact, people need some aura blending, in healthy ways of course. Auras are a lot like V.P.N.s.” {An abbreviation for virtual private networks, which is like a wi-fi that only certain computers share.}

“When you socialize with others, your two auras link with each other and share all kinds of things like emotions and information about each other. This, by the way, is part of how mirror neurons work.” He added. “Why do you think you can get ‘gut feelings’ about individuals? It’s usually not your angels telling you that, it’s usually the aura exchange between you two.”

“In a way, everyone has an IP address, and you typically share that with each other when you interact. Though some individuals go to great lengths to try and mask their ‘IP.’ Some do that better than others, but none can do it perfectly.”

“But what about letting creatures through us? Aren’t we supposed to go deeper into ourselves to access the kingdom, so isn’t that our private space?”

“No, that is your internal antenna, it is designed to receive and send, that is not the same as your personal Holy of Holies. {A private chamber within yourself.} You’re not afraid to let healing power flow through you for another person, right?”

“No.” I responded.

“So you’re just weirded out by the thought of it being another person, especially an angel which feels too similar to a demon being ‘in’ you.”

“Yeah, exactly. ...I guess.”

“This isn’t us invading you, and we wouldn’t do it if you didn’t want us to. But if we do pass through you, you will be imbued with good things. The same way that allowing healing energy to flow through you will benefit you, allowing us to pass through you will also have positive effects on you. When we angels can move from one believer to another as portals, we can do things a lot more efficiently and bypass any heavily guarded gateways. The kingdom of God is within you. Once again, you think of all this as external, that angels are out there running around, and it can be true. But, the kingdom has many more aspects that are internal to you than you think.”

“We are out there, but we can also be in here and interact with you on a deeper level than you would have thought initially.”

“I don’t know why I’m having so much trouble with this.” I confessed. “It’s just not how I thought the kingdom of God worked.”

“Tell me Little One. How much of the kingdom does work like your native mind thought it did?”

“Well….” I scrunched my face and shrugged my shoulders.

“It’s all right. I tell you these things so that you can enter into the fullness, not to make you struggle. You want to experience more and I am telling you ways you can do that.”

“But it still feels weird.” I retorted.

“That’s because you are used to thinking in and about the physical. In the physical realm you have more boundaries, but as you know from Storm, when you move further and further into the spiritual realms, there are less boundaries and more things are shared. They are different realms, and so it is right for them to work in different ways. You are thinking about this like a physical thing, but this is a spiritual thing and so it is very different. You think of having spiritual creatures attached to you as bad because of demonic possession. You are having the same struggle as those who entered the spiritual realm through dark arts only. Later, those who leave that path consider many neutral things to be bad because of their one-sided experience.”

“It is not bad to have angels within your space. You are under no obligation though. If you don’t feel comfortable with it then we won’t pressure you. Let go of what you know, and search for the truth.”

“You’re doing well Little One. Do not be afraid when I stretch you a bit,” Marcus reassured me.

“Let me see your eyes,” I said.

Then he turned and looked right at me. I saw the pale blue eyes with specs in them “yep, it’s you.” I said reassuring myself.

“You’re as full of it as Akiemba! Where is that little perpetrator? He’s been teaching you too well these days!”

I laughed. “Go easy on him.”

“Oh,” Marcus said, his tone altering as he smiled playfully, “you know I will.”

You will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man. -John 1:51
