I work with children. Awhile back, i had an interesting dream about a child i knew of, but didn't directly work with at the time (so i barely knew this person).
In the dream, i was viewing this child and a "voice" or knowing from guidance was telling me that this boy had the definite or probable potential to become fully "enlightened" in this life.
But, the voice/knowing went on to say something like, "don't act like or think of it as a big deal." Kind of like, don't be in too much awe of this info or the boy.
Adding to the interest, i had this dream a few weeks before i unexpectedly moved to a different department and started to work with this particular kid. It all developed out of the blue, and was very unexpected at the time.
The kid himself, well is there anything that sets him apart from most children or people i've interacted with? No and yes.
He has a very gentle and very, unusually innocent manner to him, and he is quite a gifted musician. He is an interesting and somewhat odd personality. Before the dream, would i have thought along those lines in relation to him, well i'm not sure--probably not. He probably has a lot of life experience to go through before something like this fully matures in him, but now that i'm aware of it via the dream i can see the possibility.
(p.s., i view "enlightenment" in terms of becoming like Yeshua, someone purely and always attuned to PUL, which will eventually quite literally enLighten their body physical, speed up the vibratory patterns of it so much as to release the inherent free/infinite Light in same, such a person then has the unique experience of having free, full access to all nonphysical dimensions/perceptions, but also has physical like attributes in which they can interact physically with in physical humans in a physical like way but they themselves don't have physical limitations anymore; they don't need to eat, don't need to sleep, don't age, don't tire, etc. etc.. wink, wink, kind of like "HeShe" in Monroes 3rd book)
