A theme park called Life

On 8/19/20 I awoke from a dream.

  • I was travelling in a car = (Life calling, purpose or ministry)

  • With me were two women, and a man. (3) beings = (Trinity / "2 to 3 witnesses")

  • The man, my friend was Adam Schaeffer = (Adam - The First / Schaeffer - Shepherd). He was a tall olive skinned man. With strong physical features and Dark hair.


The four of us were traveling together in a vehicle. Wherever we traveled it was as if the whole world, all of society, was living in an amusement park. It was similar to Disneyland. But it wasn't Disneyland.


There were many games, attractions, and unique individual areas to this park. It was so large, and contained so much, that it created the belief that this was all of life. That this was all that there was in life. The worldview of everyone around was that this was, and is, life. There was nothing more that existed. It was easy to have this perception because this land "seemed" to contain all that anyone could ever need, want, or ever desire in life.


When we first stopped the car I exited, alone. I entered the theme park and hurried, at times, even running around. I was looking for my brothers. I was passing by people who walked leisurely. At times I came up on small, busy crowds. Which seemed to me as being in my way. I made my best attempts to pass the crowds and lines of people. Viewing them as an obstacle and a hindrance to my goal.


It was as if there were arrows on the ground, pointing, guiding, all of society on the path to walk. The paths led from specific attractions, and individual theme lands of life, to another. Different crowds and groups would stay in each land for different lengths of time. Depending on how well each land lured the attention of each individual, or group.


Some, who were more entertained and content, stayed in one land for longer amounts of time than others. Those who were not quite as intrigued by the offers of one land, could pass through faster. Yet remaining at the pace and within the limits that were set. All stayed on the path guided by arrows. Like sheep, or cattle, they ignorantly followed the arrows, and each other, to the next land. In hopes and anticipation of finding something more exciting and entertaining than the last.


As I attempted to search for my brothers there were "employees" who would try to confine me to their planned path. Attempting to slow me down, and draw my focus onto this “amazing world” and it’s offers. They sent concierges, and others, to “guide me” through the land. Here they, like a tour guide, were showing and describing everything to me. They offered and encouraged me to enter drawings, with hopes of winning remarkable prizes. Slowly these offers and attractions began to excite me more. I was enticed by the grandeur, and possibilities. So I stayed.


I was promised that I had very high chances of winning something great. The percentage of winners here were the highest winning chances and percentages that anyone had ever known. I was told that even the lowest level winners came away with a winning prize that “would be worth it”.


As I stayed in some of these lands, much longer than I inherently knew that I should, I was served and waited upon by many of the "employees". They showed me games, video games and souvenirs that I could engage in, or purchase. Convincing me that these were games, characters, and items that my brothers all knew very well, and held in high value.


I waited in these areas, still looking around to hopefully spot one of my brothers. But, staying put. Expecting to see, as I had been promised, what amazing things I would win. Specific, amazing, prizes such as vehicles and large dollar amounts were shown to me. Vehicles worth $300,000 or more. The "employees" did not relent or slow from showing me their numerous distractions. Continually bringing me free souvenirs and unique, desirous, food items.


When the drawing I had entered was complete, I had only won another free serving of food. Far less than what I had been hoping for and anticipating. Far less than what the "employees" had made me believe would easily be mine. I was disappointed and went back to the vehicle with Adam & the two other beings.


Adam smiled and chuckled. Knowing my disappointment, understanding it, but not at all surprised. He told me that there were things I could enjoy here, but to focus on the mission. The four of us drove around again, together in the car. I realized that the roads we traveled were actually privately owned and paved roadways. All held within the large private parking lot of this theme park. This theme park, which seemed to be the size of the entire world.


While driving around and talking with Adam, I was trying to access information from my phone and tablet. I became very frustrated because the home screen and internet domain of my phone and tablet would not let me exit from the online web of the theme park.


The domain and the online sources that I was able to access seemed unlimited. But I recognized that all the pages I went to only had what the theme park wanted people to see. With numerous attempts, I tried swiping up on the touch screens, I pushed the "home button" and kept looking for the red colored “x", to exit the theme parks domain and web pages. But nothing worked.


As I frantically swiped and tapped, even resetting and repowering the phone and tablet, Adam just smiled and chuckled. He told me that, “it was ok”. There was nothing I could do to change the domain, or what my devices could access. But this time He would go with me.


We exited the car and reentered the theme park from the parking lot. I put away my devices, knowing they could be tools, but they wouldn't be a good guide. As we entered, Adam showed me many things. He showed me some of His favorite restaurants. Two, which specifically were His most favorite.


Both of these were of a more elegant, sit down style, restaurant. They were delightful, unique, and offered dishes of food that were rare. These places served multi-course meals. They were the type of place that required you to pause, relax, sit, dine and fellowship with whomever you travelled with.


I was still anxious inside. Looking around for my brothers and wondering how I could complete my tasks. How would I be able to do what I must in this fast moving, controlled, illusion of a world.


Adam never lost His smile. We ate, then walked, and He taught me. He seemed to have no fear or anxious drive within Him to "complete" our task, or to "do" anything. His peace seemed contrary, almost careless, when comparing it to the task and all that we needed to accomplish.


We walked back through the first theme land, together. The one where I had gotten distracted, and delayed. This time we walked through, slowly. As we walked He pointed out specific people and activities. Laughing and taking in Joy from what we observed.


Although we weren’t being consumed, or drawn in, by the “thrill of it all” we were still looking and enjoying the sights. But more so enjoying and loving the people that were there. Whether these people were amused, distracted or even completely unaware of this "illusion" they lived in, Adam just purely loved them. And I began to love them too.


I noticed that walking at His pace, yet still enjoying what was around, attracted much less attention. Both from people and the “employees” of the park. We weren't bombarded by employees or stuck behind lines or crowds. In fact whenever there was a backup of a line or crowd, due to some new exciting event, we stopped and enjoyed it.


We Interacted with some of the people. While we weren't lured into staying and covetting the event or items to be won, we allowed ourselves to delay a little while. Enjoying the people, loving them and their excitement. Never condemning them or trying to destroy their illusion. Which they weren't yet ready to understand.


As we moved past the limits of the first theme land we were soon on a long, but beautifully decorated, walkway. A wide, smoothly paved, and extremely clean walkway. Lined with exquisite botanical gardens. The walkway led only to the places and attractions that the theme park had made publicly available.


Above, and parallel to, the walkway there was a skyliner. The skyliner, although bound by cables and a track, created a sense of "higher view". One that allowed people to experience and see a new view and perspective. A perspective that was “new” compared to their past experiences.


This “higher view” created a sense, an idea, within them that they could, and were, flying. It allowed many to feel that they had a new freedom. Along with the illusion that they had a higher level of insight, understanding, and grasp on their world.


Adam showed me that here, on these longer walkways, there weren't many attractions. No attractions, distractions, or any other things that would cause people to stop for very long along these walkways. Anything that kept people journeying too long on a walkway, with any more than short bouts of amusement or comfort, would work against the intended purpose of the theme park. The intent of the walkways was to keep people feeling comforted and safe. Hence, the beautiful gardens, the shaded spots to sit, and the cool breeze.


If people felt safe, enjoying the walk to the next land with no reasons to stop or try to exit, they would feel as if they were making their own choice. These “safe” and beautiful walkways satiated the inner desires, of most, in their longings and desire to travel, search, and be free.


These beautiful walkways created the delusion that people were freely going where they wished. That they had undergone a journey, a search for more meaning, and had found it. On these walkways there were few to no employees in sight. This only helped to confirm the fallacy of their perceptions, that nobody was controlling or ruling them.


Adam then explained that this was where more miracles, and amazing things, could be done. Along these walkways, outside of the main attractions and theme lands, was where many would be more receptive to, and ready to, experience more of an awakening. Here would commonly, though not always, be the place that true Love, Life and Power could be shown.


Along these walkways various acts, messages, signs and wonders could be performed without drawing too much attention, and quick resistance, of the ‘employees' and rulers of the park. On these, lesser monitored walkways, was where more signs of His amazing Love, Light, His true Power, miracles and freedoms could be, ‘beneficially’, performed and revealed.


On this first walkway, Adam looked at me and said, "From here we should fly." We flew up above. Even higher than the sky liner. We didn’t stray too far from the path of the walkway, but neither did we stay directly above it.


“Very few, if any, need to see, or know what we are doing.” Adam explained. He went on to say, “While many things are permissible, not all things are beneficial for all to see, or know. At least not yet. Each individual has their own timing for what is beneficial for them to see and know. To force, or cause, others to see and know all that we can, and will, do, could cause them more disaster than good.”


As we neared the end of this first walkway we descended back to ground level. We landed in a, currently vacant, offshoot from the walkway. A designated “resting spot” for travelers to sit and relax before continuing on their journey. It was a very shaded, calm, and well isolated location. Perfect for stepping off of the large walkway to recover, think, and feel as if you weren’t just part of a large herded crowd.


As we landed Adam paused, We looked at the empty benches. He said, “This spot is often a place where I reveal myself. It’s often where people are found that are ready to see more. People like you were. That are still unfulfilled and are in search of Real Life.”


I thought about the reality of this. It made sense. That’s where I’d first met Him. Where I’d often go to rest, or even hide. The offshoots, or anywhere off of the path of the norm, were where I constantly went. In search for something more.


I realized that when I had first met Him, which was numerous times throughout my life, it wasn’t in the form of Adam. Not until more recently. But it was over the course of many moments, many years, and through various forms and messengers, that I had met Him. All of those incidents, messages, and forms of people that I had met, were Him.


Often I wasn’t found in these offshoots just to rest. I was scared, unfulfilled, asking, and frantically searching for more. This caused me to receive too much attention from the “employees” and from society. I was “making a scene”. And my unsettled, unfulfilled, desires were not supposed to be part of the theme park experience.


Many began to chase me, to hunt for me. I was ruining the experience of the many others who were peaceably enjoying their time. They wanted me to be quiet. So, it was in these offshoots, in the trees and bushes, where I would hide.


Adam put His arm around me as we walked out of the offshoot. Knowing the memories I had just revisited, He said, “Those weren’t the best memories or experiences. But there’s nothing to fear now. It had its purpose and now you're with me.”


We merged into the slow moving foot traffic on the walkway. He squeezed my shoulder with reassurance and lowered His arm back by His side. I looked at him, walking beside me. His eyes were forward, fixed, focused, confident and sure. But still, like always, although He had a seriousness and unshaken purpose, on His face was still that peaceful and loving, radiant, smile.
