I don't think that I have uploaded this icon before on this blog and today we have been discussing icons. Its an icon of people who are dressed in black going up the ladder of divine ascent.
Some of the people are wearing black. However there is a prominent person shown wearing white. The color black is often associated with monks - and in a recent dream at least one of the people in the dream was wearing black. Black is often associated with mourning and bereavement.
As such it can relate to a state of being bereaved or even mourning for a nation as the prophets mourn. It can happen in many ways - and it written that Jesus also wept for the Jewish people. Is that why there is also an icon of Jesus wearing black at St Catherine's Monastery because he mourned for his nation.
I know from experience that myself and my clients that it was at a time of mourning - a time of bereavement that the divine can draw very close to you. It is often when your loved ones can break through the barriers and dimensions to reach you - and in so doing you are raised up to go on with your journey and life experience.
You will see in the left hand corner of the icon that the saints in heaven are praying for those that are making their ascent of the divine ladder. The whole scene has a beautiful golden backdrop and the image is powerful with the black on gold. Gold can also be found in Egypt and I brought some Egyptian gold back with me from Egypt for myself and my mother.
The cost of the gold necklace and the original cross was gifted to the flame of Joseph by my son. As my son gifted his mother - so too - I gifted my mother.
You can see in the picture that some people are hanging on the edge of the ladder due to others trying to 'attack' those that are ascending one step at a time. You can also see that it begins to happen when they reach the seventh step - but the higher that people climb the ladder - then the people are beyond where they can be reached - and the hand of help is still offered until they reach their destination to see Jesus.
In the right hand corner of the painting it looks like a group of people that have a golden mound behind them. It looks as if they are coming out of the gold mound that looks like material - and they're being led to come and see what is happening to the people as they are making their ascent. Material in this context can be as a golden tent that is fastened securely - and it could indicate those people that have already completed the journey. Whether in this lifetime or in a previous one. The picture is very small so its hard to see the intention of the right hand corner that is on the ground.
The ladder is mostly connected with Jacob - so is that another message to you about the ladder and where it leads you to. Jesus the Jewish man - Jacob and Israel. Its no coincidence that it was after bereavements that many people become a lot more spiritual.

Nor is it a coincidence that people are often contacted by their loved ones after the passing. Forever proving life after death and that the Spirit lives. People have that connection with their loved ones in life - that is why a mother knows when her new born cries. A room can be full of babies and one of them crying - the mother of that child knows when it is her baby crying. A mother knows when the soul of her child is calling her - just like a lover knows when their loved one requires help - and then takes compassionate action to help them. The lover and the beloved - always the call that comes.
So many soul groups - so many people connected for divine purpose. When a person is 'attacked' during the state of being bereaved or in mourning - as the prophets mourn - as Jesus mourned - it can be damaging to their spiritual state of being. Those people then hang on for dear life - to the ladder that they found - due to the divine ascent that they know that they have experienced.
What of those that reached their destination before the 'attacks' came - who could touch them.
In the recent experience in my bedroom - all I had to say was 'Jesus' and they instantly left my bedroom. Was it the power of his name - or was it because of the sheer power of the light of love that exists with us. People cannot come between our eternal love once it has truly been experienced and lived. Nothing can stop us in the great work that we do. The greater the love that you are - the greater the causes you are given.
What I do know to be true - due to many experiences of it in different realities. When my voice is heard the divine act upon it immediately.
