God's Will and the Iron Rod
Often
times when individuals encounter an out of body experience they
visualize themselves holding onto an iron rod. The consensus of opinion
is that if they would let go of the iron rod, death would be certain,
or they would leave the body and not be able to return.
In my own personal experience, several years ago, I too had a similar experience. It was a time previous to my first hypnotic regression when I regressed to my first past life . While enjoying a Sunday afternoon nap, I suddenly felt my body start to vibrate and as it did, I sensed my consciousness rise and begin to leave my physical form. As it did , fear set in and as a result, I immediately re-entered my physical body lying motionless on the couch.
Trying to remain in a relaxed state, I was able to overcome the fear and as I did , my consciousness again began to rise. As my soul was released from the body , I looked up to my left arm that was laying above my head. My hand was clutched tightly to an iron rod, somehow I knew if I let go of the rod, I wouldn’t be able to re-enter my physical body.
This was my first experience with this sort of thing and had previously never heard of an iron rod, therefore there was no previous life experience or knowledge to affect my thinking. as a result I began thinking , “what is the deal with this iron rod, and how does it relate to life and death?”
As is the case when life’s revelations occur, it took many years and perfect timing for the answer to come to me. After searching for answers most of my life, the iron rod theory escaped my line of thought and never thought much about it after that particular afternoon.
In my years of searching for Truth, one of my avenues of search was the Mormon Church. I had joined and attended semi regularly for a while and then quit going altogether.. After an eight year hiatus, I started attending again. During services one Sunday morning, I was nonchalantly flipping through the hymnal, when I suddenly was jolted out of my daze. There in front of me was a hymn entitled, “The Iron Rod.” With my attention aroused, I began reading the words of the song.
Near the bottom in the chorus, was my answer, the iron rod is the word of God.Now, it all made sense, it isn’t so much needing to hold on to the iron rod, it’s needing to hold onto the Word of God. The iron rod is a symbol of the steadiness of God’s word and our need to remain steadfast in our beliefs. As long as we remain true to our core values it doesn’t matter where our journey takes us, the iron hand of God will be with us.
