On the shortest day of the year, 22nd June 2000, I went to bed very early in broad daylight and fell asleep. I was awakened much later in complete darkness. What woke me up with a start was a white flash like a photographer's flashlight only stronger - it was like a silver star. It seemed as if the South-East wall of my room had dissolved and I was aware of Presences. Then to my astonishment I saw a sun floating in the centre of the room! It shone with a brilliant gold colour, slightly flushed with orange, like the sun at dawn. It vanished and I fell into a heavy sleep with the thought "I have seen the sun" in my mind, which recurred during my sleep: "I have seen the Sun." In the morning, meditating on this, I recollected the mysterious words of the Priest of Isis, Lucius Apuleius, who in describing his experience of the Holy Night of Isis wrote: "I saw the Sun at midnight."
"On the 6th of September 2000, the "sun" at night entered me, and I saw and felt it. It was very large with rays. The star also did this on 2 occasions - I haven't the date. On the 26th of the same September, at night I had a vision of a luminous woman with hair cut in strange "petals" - large and liquid gold. Her white "angel" dress reflected gold. On her left was a very large pillar, transparent and within it were gyrating golden moted in spirals like atoms - a few were red and blue. On her right a long crystal was hanging - about a foot or so long - and she struck it. Totally awake, I heard the very long sound of the crystal - beautiful and heightened, about middle 'e'.
