THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell...Chapter Eight...
"Oh, yes, Glenna, I am very happy, thank you."
"Well then, let's get up and go to the Tapestry Room, I think you're really going to like it there."
So I arose and we left the wonderful little room and walked down a short hallway to a door with a sign over it that said Tapestry Room. We entered the room and saw a beautiful large tapestry on a giant loom. It seemed to be in the middle of the creation process; many people were involved with intertwining bright threads of brilliant colors.
"Wow, Glenna that is a beautiful tapestry! Who do you suppose owns such a beautiful tapestry!"
"Well, Ann, that is the tapestry of your genealogy, made up of all the points that your different families bring to it. You will notice, while you are on Earth, that there seem to be many 'coincidences' between all of the three families that make up your and your relative's lives. There is no such thing as a coincidence, what you will be observing is the outcome of the choices you are making right now."
"You say three families, Glenna? How three? I only have my two families that I chose."
"Well, Ann, you chose Charles Albert to be your husband, and the family you are going to create-a fourth family out of three-will also be made up of his family. Just think a moment and you will realize that when you marry you are accepting his family into your genealogy. It takes all three families to create the children that you will bear; your fourth family."
"Wow again! This is a lot to absorb, but such a wonderful plan. Can you tell me of some of the coincidences?"
So Glenna told me these stories: Shirley Loretta and Albert Martin, Charles' father, will be born ten miles apart in little towns in South Dakota. During the war, both Ralph and Albert will be enlisted in the Army; Ralph will be stationed in Iowa, where Albert has a home, and Albert in El Cajon, which is on the outskirts of San Diego, where daddy has a home. Both Shirley's grandparents and Beverly's-Charles' mother-grandparents were early settlers of Iowa. Lee was born in Washington State, and so was your son, Charlie, as well as two of your grandchildren. Furthermore, you were conceived in the State of Washington, and your mother-Shirley-was sent from her home there-in Walla Walla-to live in San Diego. The 'coincidences' will seem to go on forever as you live your life on Earth. Do you need me to go any further?"
"No. Glenna, I get the idea, it is all so fascinating! It makes me think that I have been making good choices."
"Well, that's good. When you see so many 'coincidences' in families that join together, you have a pretty good idea that the families have been created well, and are meant to be.
"Now, let's return to the first room, the hall with the tree in it, and I will be able to tell you about some of the ancestors you are going to be related to."
We left the Tapestry Room and walked down the hall and into the entrance room. When we got there, we went up to the hologram of an oak tree and found it to be very different from the tree we had originally seen.
The tree had the scroll with my name on it, but now all of the boughs of the tree had scrolls that were covered in names.
I read, Ralph Warren and Lucile Harriet as my parents, and as my grandparents there were Charley Warren and Gertrude Roseanne, Ralph's parents, and Walter Mac and Pansy Berle, Lucile's parents. Glenna told me that Charley Warren's parents had come from Sweden, and that Gertrude Roseann's family included a first-cousin relationship to the Younger Brothers and the Dalton Boys, and a less direct cousinship to Frank and Jesse James. Walter Mac had come to the U.S. from Canada, and one of his grandparents had signed the Articles of Confederation. On Pansy Berle's side, there were ancestors from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, grandparents who had fought for sanity during the Salem Witchcraft Trials, and a grandfather who had spent the winter at Valley Forge with General George Washington.
Then a curious thing happened, the first oak tree disappeared and a second oak tree appeared in its place, with my name on the trunk of the tree. This time I read, Daniel Lee and Shirley Loretta as my parents. As my grandparents I read James Lee and Margaret Jones. James Lee and Margaret Jones were first generation Americans who came from Derbyshire, England. On Shirley Loretta's side were grandparents who had helped settle the State of Iowa, the Block's and the Shepherd's. The Shepherd's were originally from England and Scotland, and the Block's were German Jews.
I asked Glenna why there were two trees instead of one like most people have, and she explained to me that the first tree was my dominant side, as I had chosen them to be my parents, but that the second tree was also necessary because my physical ties were to them. I was, she said, a child of very mixed heritage; of very rich heritage.
When I had memorized my genealogy, which Glenna said was not at all necessary at this time, but which I felt compelled to do, Glenna said it was time to go on to our next experience which was the House of Relationships (relativity, joked Glenna).
We left the Genealogy Building and set off for the House of Relationships.
(Where you come from is not as important as what you send forth.)
Tomorrow we will explore: Do we choose all of our personal relationships before we are born?...
"Oh, yes, Glenna, I am very happy, thank you."
"Well then, let's get up and go to the Tapestry Room, I think you're really going to like it there."
