The common eye sees only the outside of things, and judges by that,

but the ‘all seeing eye’ pierces through, and reads the heart and the soul, finding there capacities which the outside didn’t indicate or promise, and which the other kind couldn’t detect.

–Mark Twain

Today, I got some really sad news. SM, a friend & mentor passed away! He is a powerhouse & an inspiration for me and many other people with whom he had contact. I could not accept this news so I called a friend we had in common and I asked her… “Tell me it isn’t so!”

She replied “I can’t do that – it is so…”

This news hit me extremely hard & I broke down and cried. I don’t know why it hit me so hard. Maybe because I just saw him last night. Or maybe because it confirmed what I already knew last night.

I knew he was leaving…

You’ve heard of the expression “The eyes are the windows of the soul..” Well last night, SM’s soul was exiting out thru his windows! His soul would no longer be contained within the smallness of a human package and the light would no longer allow itself to be contained.

A bright light started emanating from his collar, his eyes and from the top of his head. I knew last night, in the middle of the event, that SM’s soul was departing but i did not want to acknowledge it.

SM shined last night, both literally & figuratively. See he managed the production of the event and was in charge of anything that happened with the facility and equipment. Well both the facility and the equipment acted up and of course SM took care of it. The evening was his and he shined. And I had the great honor to see him shine.

First – the lights started to flicker, SM runs out the door to manage it. I was sitting in the front row & to my surprise, I saw his light leaving for the first time! I tried connecting with his eyes but could not see them. The light was more like a dim glow & some glare on his glasses. As he walks out of the room, the building lights flickered, then shut off and then a few minutes latter they came on. When SM walked back in, he looked normal so I thought nothing of it. “I must be seeing things!” is what I told myself.

Then the lights decided to act up again. Alternating – one row on & nothing else, then another section & nothing else. Again SM gets up and walks out of the room. Again, as he walks in front of me, I tried to connect with his eyes. The glare was much stronger and now it was spilling out around the rims. When he came back in, he looked normal again.

The third event was the building’s fire alarm going off. Again SM gets up, walks out and this time it was not glare, but a strong and beautiful light emanating from him. I could see the light emanating from his eyes and reflected off his glasses. It was so consistent that it blocked me from seeing his eyes. All I could see is a shine around his eyes, a reflected back image on the lens and a halo around his head. Wow!

Finally, at the end of the evening SM & his crew were called to the front to be acknowledged and in that moment, before he stood up, the halo & the glow around his face pulled off towards the ceiling!

The glow left him!

He was now complete as he was being acknowledged. He was free to go and left completely fulfilled.

Within hours his body completed it’s purpose and at 10:15pm, SM was no longer on this earth. That evening SM’s life was completed in a fatal car accident. He went on to shine on out in the universe…

He was an amazing powerhouse & a beautiful soul shining and giving love to everyone he met. Shine on you crazy diamond…
