The pieces of the puzzle of my life are falling into place.
I can feel your sense of passion and movement here---and when I have that feeling myself, there's not much that can top it!
I've always loved the metaphor of puzzle pieces. I know you're talking about fire here but "pieces of the puzzle" struck me first. My parents are very fond of telling me the story of when I was two years old. I would take the puzzle, turn it over, and put it together upside down. They were amazed. Why didn't I just put the puzzle together with the image top-up? When I look back at this (from a sorcerer's eye) I feel as though as a two year old I was in touch with mystery and the unknown as many infants and toddlers are and how I got in touch with the nagual was to ignore the images on the "correct" side of the puzzle and seek to put it together kinesthetically and sensually--the way it "felt" to me. That's the same wonder I feel as I read your words here.
Hi Jessicar,
And maybe that is one reason Jesus said that unless we become as little children we cannot enter the Kingdom.
I appreciate your response. Sometimes I feel surrounded by "parents fondly telling me.." as you said. While I am amazed that no one else is seeing what I am seeing.
I've been getting pieces for many years now. "Knowing without having known", my teacher used to call it...his definition for Wisdom.
Now, it seems that I am getting glimses of the entire puzzle,...(Understanding is, I believe, the correct term for this phenomena)... Or at least large sections of the puzzle.
Again, I appreciate your response. The silence is deafening lately.
The puzzle is an appropriate analogy.
I used "fire" because one of the three aspects of Baptism is fire and taking the three aspects by the letters signifying each, Mem, Aleph and Shin in Hebrew spells fire. It ws the Baptism that Jesus said he was in the process of being baptised with and that he promised John and his brother James (the sons of Thunder) that they would go through. Lo and Behold, John later wrote the book named The Revelation of Jesus Christ.
I believe this to be a description of John's Baptism of Fire.
While half of the the Christian wotrld is looking back to 33-70 AD for the end times, the other half are looking to some future event at some as yet unknown date.
Both are missing what is right in front of them.

Above is a link to a vision/awareness of a 16 year old girl in 19th century Scotland. Her desciption is very short, but there are some commentaries by some "scholars". Hers is the only revelation on the subject that I have read that makes any sense.
They, of course, put her in a convent. Good way to shut people off from influencing others, and to shut them up.
