Whom God Has Afflicted
She said, “I had this vision. I was Infinite Spirit, and I knew I was Infinite Spirit. There was nothing but my Self. And I desired to go out into the world, although seemingly there was no other place – no ‘world,’ yet I desired to go out into the world, but I knew I had to have form to be seen, to communicate, and I made for myself a box – a long, elongated box – of wood. And then suddenly there was absolute darkness. You can’t conceive of the blackness and the restriction – a complete restriction, as though you could not concentrate or bring oneself to any greater point of restriction than that moment, as I found myself in the box. That was the cause of the blackness and the restriction and the contraction. “The box could see, it could hear, it could speak, it could move; it could do everything that I willed it to do. And then came that moment in time when I desired to leave it. It came the end. I had experienced what it was to see and to think and to hear in this world of ‘death.’ And then I found myself looking down on what I thought to be my bed. I thought a body was on it, but I couldn’t quite see it because of the crowd around the body. On three sides of the bed were people looking down, bending over; and then one said, ‘She is dead.’ And I thought, ‘Dead? Why that’s impossible! It cannot die. It has never lived! Only when I occupied it – when I was in it – did it seem to live. But it cannot die.’ So they said, ‘The box is dead.’ Why, the box has never been alive – only as I occupied it. Only as I entered into that box did it become seemingly alive. And the shock was so great that I awoke.” It’s a marvelous vision. We are “wearing” this “box.”
The 'box' in the vision represents the human body, a form created by Infinite Spirit (God) to experience the world of 'death' and restriction. The spirit animates the body, but the body itself is not truly alive and cannot die, illustrating the divine contraction into human form.
