?Good to see you again, Pandayji,? I replied as I seated myself across from him. I was anxious to ask him about his experiences in the meadow, but thought I'd wait a while. Over breakfast, we discussed my schedule for the week and agreed there would be enough free time to visit some interesting sites in the north, if I felt like it.Still not a word from him about last night, so I brought up the subject.Since I wasn't sure whether the whole event was the result of my overactive imagination, I was rather cautious in my approach. ?I had some weird things happen last night, Pandayji,? I said.
He looked up immediately and said,?Yourroomwasn't comfortable? I'll speak with them.?
?No,not my room, Pandayji. Just some dreams I think,? I replied.
He creased his forehead, as if trying to recall, and said,?Now that I think of it,I, too, had some dreams in which you and Mardai, Jonathan and Malika were present. But I can't remember anything else. Seems like others were there, too.?
?What others?? I asked, ?Gideon and Marla??
?I know them through your books, John, and yet, I've never personally met them. There's a familiarity with the names, but really, I have no idea who else might have been in my dream. And even if I had met Gideon and Marla, I wouldn't have known who they were.? He smiled and said that he had slept well and was sorry he couldn't remember the rest of his dream. However, I knew he believed dreams were important and had a beneficial effect on our daily lives. Mardai was right, I thought.Pandayji forgot that he had met us last night. Then he asked me what my dream was about.
?Well,? I replied, ?I saw Mardai and the children. Gideon and Marla were there too, but the strangest thing was that you were there speaking with Gideon and Marla. To me, it was more than a dream, Pandayji. It was so real . . . as real as our sitting here right now. Perhaps, it wasn't a dream at all. Perhaps, it really happened.?
?There are many mysteries on Earth, John,? he said, ?many dimensions to life. We probably exist in all these dimensions simultaneously. But I think we only remember them vaguely so that we don't confuse them.?

?In what way, John?? she innocently asked.
?Well, take this financial thing, for example. You'd think that by this time in life I'd have had it all put together. I certainly work hard, but often I see the good suffer and the evil prosper. And I cry out to the heavens like the Psalmist of old, ?How long, O Lord? How long?? But silence,eternal silence. Sometimes I think that we should pray,?Our Father Who art in heaven, stay there for all the good it does!? Yep! Doesn't make sense sometimes.?
?Oh, you poor thing!? she said in mock horror, ?to think that life is unfair! Listen, John, life isn't fair or unfair. Life just is. What you call your financial problems are at an end now. You'll see the reasons for that challenge later on.?
?What do you mean ?at an end?? They're not at an end. Look at what's been happening.?
?They're almost over. You'll see. Gideon will explain it to you soon.?
?Sure, he'll explain. Just like he was going to explain the greatest secret in the Universe,? I cracked somewhat sarcastically.
?If answers are provided for every question,their impact is temporary and easily dismissed. But if answers are discovered in the experience of life, their influence continues for a long time. We believe much more of what we have personally experienced than what others could ever tell us. Gideon and Marla love you very much and seek only your highest good. They will continue to help you.?
At the mention of Marla's name, my mind raced back to our romantic interlude. A twinge of guilt came over me as I sat wondering what Mardai might have thought about it. She must have known what was on my mind for she said, ?There are areas of your life that are exclusively and personally your own. Even I do not get involved there. Just live your life as brilliantly as possible and don't let guilt, regret or fear negate your validity as a child of the Infinite. There's no need to feel guilty about you and Marla or you and anyone else.?
With a sigh of relief, I asked, ?I really would like to know more about this after-life world, Mardai. Would you help me learn more??
