When I was about 16 years old I had a very strange dream in which the word Urantia, was spelled. I woke up from my dream and wrote the word down, I went downstairs to my parents computer and put it into the search engine.

I found this strange book, that was allegedly "alien". I became paranoid for months that alien's were abducting me and I was deadly aftraid of the urantia book. A vision with strange letter's that led to a strange book, I was convinced the only logical explanation was that alien's were trying to mess with my head.

Eventually I actually looked at hte book and saw it spoke of jesus. I then soon realized that this was infact a book not by alien's. Phew was I relieved.

The 2nd strange occurance I had in connection with urantia was not long after, I had a dream that seemed very "lucid" in which a man in a egyptian pyramid standing in a room and in that room standing with scrolls he spoke a foreign langauge, yet the words again were translated for me. I awoke from the dream and I could only remember bits of what he had said and wrote the words that were spelled out in text in my dream onto a peace of paper.A few weeks went by and I decided to google those words and so I did. The word that jumped out was "Logos" of coarse just starting to read the urantia book i crossreferenced it with that and found nothing.....untill that is the part of Philo of alexandria talking about how Logo's was the word of god, among other things.....I found it quite odd that my dream had a man from a egyptian temple speaking wierdly in what appeared to be robes, with a scroll telling me about logos. and hear all along Philo of urantia would seem to fit that man.....anyway's this isnt nearly as exciting as the 1st story and much more speculative, but nonethe less I think its interesting. Especially considering my next strange expereince.

I became fascinated for some reason with the mysterous figure of Melkezedick at the age of about 20. I don't know why this character became so real to me in the book. I decided to meditate on this "priest of most high" every night I just "felt" this this machiventa was my freind and very close and very near. One night in my dream I had a dream of machiventa and jesus meeting each other and machiventa telling me that jesus was my freind as well and was near me to. I then had the most amazing feeling that felt like a "body extacy" anyway's, the next night instead of waiting to fall asleep, I thought I would meditate and pray for my freind to visit me again but this time awake, and what I felt was simply amazing. Again but this time fully conciounce and awake but laying in a bed the same feeling came to me and my entire body felt as though it was in "extacy". basically that feeling u get when you are consumating your marriage hahaha but in your intire body, was essentially the feeing I had.

Anyway why does it all matter? well I suppose none of it does, just to me but its fun to share stories hahaha. The worst thing that can happen when you share is someone looks at you funny.

Getting back to my story, I was curious as to what I had felt if it was similar to anyother's, again I decided a good ole google search would maybe find me someone who has felt the same experience with melkezedick hahaha, though not likely. But to my surprise I found a story again that really was not far from the same story that Logo's had come from. Yet again my freind Philo had a line that sent shiver's down my spine. the line was "Let him offer to the soul food full of joy and gladness," "but let Melkezedick instead offer wine, and give to souls strong drink, that they may be siezed by divine intoxication more sober than sobriety itself". "he grows wine that produces in man the sober intoxification of divine extacy".

I find it interesting that Philo a philosopher gets so personal with melkezedick, perhaps Philo had a similar or even more profound expereince than I did with Machiventa. who knows..haha.

this is a story that |I have kept in my journal for years now I am currently 24. I figured why the hell do I keep these expereinces to myself, what is the worst that can happen when you share them with felllow reader's they look at you funny?. hahaha anwyays. I hope someone else out there maybe tries as I did and more to just dare to "connect" with melkezedick or any agency of this revelation you feel is close to you. Maybe just maybe something physical and spiritual and real and finite will come over you, and maybe we don't have to wait to die to feel these beings close to us, and working with us. But I get the feeling alot of reader's and faithson's are feeling incredible divine agencies already! I have no doubt in my mind about that. I hold no attitude of "holier than thow" in my head because I dont think these are miracles at all. I think they will one day be common place expereinces we all have.
