The love log

Television can be very hypnotic. Before you know it hours will pass and it's bedtime. I'm watching TV and I see a man sitting in a chair and demonstrating how to do self-hypnosis in order to gain euphoria. As I watch I realize that I could do the same. After the show I sat down and tried it myself. I closed my eyes and took myself to this wonderful place and became instantly addicted to it. I felt an entity inside of me. How could this be a bad thing when it felt so good. The more I hypnotized myself the more addicted I became to the feeling.

Many of my friends saw the show so I decided to have a party so we could all share this wonderful thing we created in ourselves. I was the first to go under and others followed, something felt wrong inside of me. The entity was not so kind this time. I could feel pain in my foot like a sharp knife was cutting me and pressing upward. I felt like I had given up control of myself, I needed to find inner strength. I needed the strength of God to save me. The pain was intense and I was using every oounce of my own will power to overcome this thing inside of me. I decided to say a prayer that was taught to me at Para-study. "Nothing can come near me that isn't sent from God in love and peace" I repeated it over and over again until I regained consciousness.

As I went to my friends I was horrified. I could see that they were in pain, some were showing signs of torture, blood was dripping from their feet. I could see their tortured bodies crumbling and bleeding. I couldn't panic. I had to find an answer. Someone in the house had to be awake. Someone pure of heart. As I entered the living room I saw two people, a young man and woman. They were not familiar to me but that was not important. I had to save my friends. Inside of me I felt that I knew what had to be done. I prayed to God that my idea would work.

I took the most perfect log that I had. I love a cozy fire even in the summer, just turn up the air conditioner. Anyway, getting back to the story.....I give the log to the young man and ask the pretty young woman to place her hands on top of the log. I instructed them to stare into each others eyes. They did not question me, they just did it. As they stared into each others eyes I could see the love between them. A beautiful bright light shone around them. As time passed I felt a calmness come over me, I looked around and all my friends were back to their old selves. Love truly is powerful.

As I awoke from my dream I knew I had been given a sign, a message maybe from God. Looking for temporary happiness can be deadly. Drugs and alcohol are so hypnotic and fun in the beginning but they are killers. It not only hurts you but everyone around you. And the result from addiction is death. You need to love yourself enough, you need to love others!!!
