Paint a Word Picture

We are told that God speaks to man in a dream and unveils himself in a vision. Now,vision is a waking dream like this room, while a dream occurs when you are not fully awake.

A few years ago this vision was mine: I was taken in spirit into one of the early mansions on 5th Avenue in New York City at the turn of the century. As I entered, I saw that three generations were present and I heard the eldest man telling the others of their grandfather's secret.

These are his words: “Grandfather used to say, while standing on an empty lot: ‘I remember when this was an empty lot.’

Then he would paint a word picture of what he wanted to build there. He saw it vividly in his mind's eye as he spoke, and in time it was established. He went through life in that manner, objectively realizing what he had first subjectively claimed.”
