The Sage

I have always sought the truth.I mean,hasn't everyone wondered where they came from and how they got here?True,some truths are independent of one another,yet,there must be some underlying Reality that connects all things.
Hello,my name is Aaron.I would like to tell you a little bit about myself and what happened to me while one day I confronted the Truth.It was a day like any other day and I was thinking that day about my life and family.I had a rather conservative upbringing.Of course,speaking from my own perspective,I was extremely liberal in my pursuits.I read everything I could about science,history,philosophies and the arts.I also made it a point to read about all the religions of the world and to keep an open mind so as not to boggle it down with half truths,idioms and metaphors,Anyways,while setting down on the grass in the park I was meditating as usual.A sudden breeze caught my attention as I seemed to come out of a deep trance.There stood in front of me a rather curious silhouette figure of what appeared to be a man.The detail was a bit fuzzy at first but slowly I began to focus more as the trance subsided.Still he looked very strange as there was this aura about him.I tried to get up but some power kept me restrained.I looked around and there was what looked like an electric bubble that encapsulated both of us.He began to talk to me but his mouth wasn't moving.I could hear his thoughts and he could hear mine.Than he said something like"I've been expecting you".Surprised I floated straight up on my feet while my whole body felt as light as a feather.I was amazed how we both just sort of hovered there within that electrified bubble.He said"Aaron".I said"what"Love Me",he said.After that I awoke.

Yes.
What happened after that? Did it ever happen again?
Or was this a true dream.

Joseph,it was meant to be an allegorical story about a man who devoted his life to meditation and he was in a self induced state upon enlightenment.But the point is actually a very simple one in that after all the times he was in this transcendental state the only thing he ever needed to do was to Love because in Reality that is what created him and All-That-Is.Thank you for reading it,Michael.
P.S.Yes it happens all the time for anyone who would know this "message".

I have to say that your aversion to placing the space after punctuation is very distracting and makes the work hard to read.
"setting down" is incorrect. The character would be' sitting'.
I didn't get anything like your explanation from the story. Sorry.

I was hoping it was real.

I began to read this, but stopped. The punctuation is the cause. I'd be glad to return and read through if the post is cleaned up to reflect some care for the reader -- this reader at any rate. I do enjoy prose; and would like to enjoy yours.
