 +SATURDAY morning in the Silence, meditation ceased, I found myself outside a city wall close to a gate, beside which a cross lay. I knew that the city was Jerusalem.
 +
 +No one was near, consequently, I was free to follow my own dictates; so I picked up the cross willingly and placed it upon my back and bending low began to carry it over a winding stony path up a hill that rose before me. I could see myself journeying slowly onward alone. There was neither interference nor force, invitation nor command, as what I did was an act of free will. About half way up the hill a voice was heard to say “Come unto me all ye who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.”
 +
 +Immediately the weight of the cross seemed partly to lift and each step the load became lighter until the hill top was gained. Standing along the path that I traveled were many personalities, those in which I had lived and expressed in past lives, it seemed to me. Not a word was spoken by any of those who had served me so well in the yesterdays.
 +
 +On the crest of the hill I laid the cross down and placed my self upon it, and was preparing to nail it fast, when lo and behold, it was nailed; my desire, my thought of it had instantly been outmanifested. I noticed that the three spikes (one driven through each hand and one for both feet) were made of bright gold. I then made ready to lift the cross so as to place it in a hole in the ground enabling it to stand in an upright position. Again my thought was outmanifested as quickly as before. The cross with my self upon it was placed.
 +
 +As I stood looking at that self, I heard that voice again saying, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man cometh to the Father but by Me.” A few feet from me Jesus stood, and how I longed to understand as He did all that had taken place.
 +
 +The self now hangs upon the cross, while I am standing by waiting for it to cry out “It is finished.” I see it often during the day and when in the silence, as I meditate much on the vision.
