Albino Man
When I was a child my Mom came up with a nickname for the "Spiritual Being" I was constantly making a reference to.
The Rainbow Man of Childhood dreams.
I had no physical worldly name for this 'One' who came to me in visions
during childhood. This was the 'One' I encountered in my near death
experiences. The first encounter I had with this one while I was in
physical form was when I was in diapers. I had a vivid encounter when I
was 3 years old. I tried to talk to my Mom about this 'One' and described
'him' to her. She laughed and called it my imagination. I said he
floated on rainbows. He was brighter than the sun and had a brilliant
light flaming from his eyes. I said he had 'fire' in his eyes. I was
only three. My encounters continued after the 'near death experiences' and
this is what led my parents to believe I was utilizing my imagination and having
a dream when my heart stopped beating and my breath would stop.
After my adult near death experience, this 'One' would continue to show up in
waking visions as well as night time dreams. It wouldn't give me a worldly
name to reference who or what it was to me. I took to calling this
'One' the albino man.
I had described it to my Grandfather and he referenced a couple of scriptures.
- Revelation 1:14, "His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;"
- Mark 9:3, "And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them."
I looked up the word 'albino' in a dictionary and found the roots that
implied a mystery.
[Portuguese, from albo, white, from Latin albus; see albho- in Indo-European roots.] Proto-Celtic *albiyo- (“world”) < Proto-Indo-European *hélbos (“white”). Cognate with Latin albus (“white”), Ancient Greek ἀλφός (alphos, “whiteness, white leprosy”) and Hittite (alpas, “cloud”). The primary meaning of Common Celtic word is "upper world" (as opposed to underworld), with semasiological development similar to e.g. Russian свет (svet, “world; light”).
So - I felt the ancient roots of the world had a mystical meaning of other-worldly white light which captured the essence of the spiritual beings I encountered during my childhood and early adult life after my near death experiences.
