A Map of The Whole Universe - by Clinton JarbeauThere was once an educated man who complained that he had searched for a long time but never found what he sought – a map of the whole universe. A simple man overheard him and said, “The map is on the inside of your eyelids, and very easily discovered. Surely, you must know that. Just before you go to sleep, you can see it very clearly.” “You are an idiot,” the educated man said. “What you are seeing is the tracings of the small blood vessels of the eyelids, which is not a map at all.” With that, the educated man continued his search, and his complaint also. In due course, the educated man found himself in spirit form, at the gates of Paradise. There he chanced to have a word with the Spirit of the Divine, which at first appeared formless to him. “Tell me one thing,” said the man. “How is it that I could never find the map?” In that brief instant, the face of the Divine appeared as the face of the simple man and said, “I provide many adventures in the Earth, and each adventure offers the opportunity to come closer to Me. Men are not always rich, nor do they always have opportunities for study presented to them. Sometimes, objects do not come readily to hand, so the things of the Spirit must be available immediately, in uncomplicated ways. It is only required that the questor solve the riddle set forth by the adventure. Pay close attention to this.” At that instant the man was re-born, destined to be a teacher. It was many years before his forgetful soul recognized this as a demotion. Only then did he realize that the map of the whole universe was in the pattern of the blood vessels of the eyelids, just as the simple man had said. After that, he progressed very quickly.
