The Joy of Heaven

Inspiring a Consciousness of Heaven in the Church and in the World

Loading Pictures: EARLY STAGE 1 EDITING:

It was May 18th, 2015. The Barrington Hills Zoning Board was meeting tonight.  It was going to be quite the day!

The day started early at St. Annes Church in Barrington for an inspiring Mass.  My life stressed, I prayerfully and tearfully implored Our Lord and His mother for a miracle or at least for a sign.

Home again, I immediately set to work.  It was going to be a very long day! 

I was tasked to do legal research for a loosely formed group of neighbors opposing an intrusive zoning change initiated by a different neighbor. To gather support, this group had sent out petitions throughout Barrington Hills.  My job was to stop the scheduled hearing at the zoning board meeting to buy time for this group to organize their coalition. 

Consequently, my head was deep in local ordinances; I was consumed with searching for a loophole while concerned neighbors were knocking at my door seeking updates on my progress.  

Striding to answer the door at 3:00 pm, I walked past the mirror in the front hall and saw a weird figure on the surface. Glancing at it, pondering what it was as I turned and opened the door to greet our neighbors.

After explaining my progress and strategies, and addressing their questions, I closed the door and turned back to look at the mirror.  Suddenly infused with a feeling of the miraculous and awe, I studied the figure,  My voice reflected the awe in my heart as I called to my daughter and son to come see. 

Etheric like, I wondered what substance created the  image.  It wasn’t fog, yet it was fog like. It was fairly thick, much thicker than fog from a shower. I later deduced that the force creating the image had intelligence as it took a distinctive route in it’s evolutionary development. A path that tells a story about Our Lord and Our Lady, Mary. 

The emerging image had multiple colors and shadings…It was encased in an aura both with the first image and the second image that eventually formed over the first image. I felt a distinct feeling of awe and made a quick cross on the image as I investigated further.  This cross is the only alteration made to pictures displayed in this gallery.  

I then ran to get my phone to take a few pictures, but I had to return to the research.  The ladies were coming back in an hour or so, the meeting now about  3 hours away, and I committed I would have something…

My initial impression was this was an unformed figure, almost like it was a fetus in it’s first weeks of formation. Male or female wasn’t clear.  

At this point, I did not conceive this was an evolving shape. NOTHING like this had ever graced the front hall mirror. It was never prone to fogging up and has not done so since.

I later discovered at least some of this growth was from bubbles that appeared, grew and seemingly merged or became a shape helping to define the evolving figure.  Here are two above the figure’s head.

I took a few pictures from different angles.  To understand what you are looking at, the image is on the mirror of  the entryway valet that has a mirror in-between the coat hooks. The mirrored coat stand is across from the front door. I am standing a bit to the side so as not to be in the picture and taking photos of  the mirror which includes the emerging figures on it’s surface.  The doorway images are  reflections on the mirror. 

In these pictures, you also see our 18 year old dog, Angel as she sleeps besides the doorway.

It is a small odd shaped entryway. (describe)

Angel, the dog is laying on her bed across from the mirror, but you can see emerging image appearing to cross over her.

The light is unusual even tho you can see it from the window which is North Eastern facing,

20 minutes later, I am awed and my heart has the feeling of being totally infused.  The shape was definitely changing.  

On top of the head of the figure, a crown is beginning to take shape.  The shape was crowned with a crown for a high priest.

(Reflection: the original figure is intact within an evolving covering which the crown is within and on top of it 

Besides the main figure there is a translucent glow around the evolving figure.  Note the second darker shadowing forming.  This darkened shape is forming the base of what become a third person in this evolving apparition, the snake. 

This darkened shape is important to watch. It is not a shadow like the hooks on the mirror cast.  The dark section, outlining the base, hinting of things to come,  partially cusps the illuminated figure. 

Note: Darkness encased in light, but darkness becomes Satan,  who Jesus is crushing from the start….

Fascinating to me that the figure’s base (not really feet) actually touch the top of what will become Satan’s head before the mother forms over the figure.)

Bubbles on top – *Note bubbles on 0553 (move to next group …

0556 –  0557 –      0558 –      

More growth at the base as the crown takes shape and the figure (Our Lord) appears to lose the earlier shape – but in fact it is seem within the outer covering in 0558 

0560 – 3: PM      0561 – 3:41:30 PM      0562 – ‏‎3:41:26 pm      

The lighting is noteworthy.  4pm, the entryway has a garage blocking westward sun rays.  The front blocks the sun (finish description)   At this point, I have not clearly identified what is going on at the mirror. I know it is strange and feel ‘infused” with love and joy, but my brain has still not sorted this.

I interpret this part of the apparition to mean that Our Lord Was before he became Jesus.  The fact that He was crowned at this stage is very significant to the truth. 

Also his ‘feet’ are already on top of what becomes the snake,  This is theologically consistent. 

(EDIT)

SUCCESS! The research has progressed and I stumbled upon the loophole needed.  The wrong person applied for the zoning variance; the son, not the owner!  Joy, Joy… Joy!!! The next step was to alert everyone including the village clerk.  I had some writing to complete. 

Just over 40 minutes later, I reemerged from the research.  Again heading out to answer the doorbell I am awestruck by what I see.  Somehow there is an image over the original figure, which is now inside the figure of a lady who is very pregnant and facing the opposite direction.  I can’t tell you how AMAZED I was.

The figure seemed to have morphed into Our Lady. It was not until later that I could really see how this transformation occurred.  Quickly briefing the neighbors from the door way, I close the door and just can’t believe what I see.  The issue with the neighbor, while pressing, was distant compared to me wondering what was going on with my mirror.

The blinding light in the room stopped me.  Her feet… In figure 0567 you can see her feet peeking out from her full length dress to stand on top of Satan, crushing the serpent’s head… 

Examine 0567 closely and you will see the baby inside of her.  The same baby crowned in 0555 and 0557.  

I was baffled… Did the baby form before the mother?  Then the light of the Holy Spirit infused me with the understanding that Jesus is eternity and in the spiritual world he was long before he was conceived as a man. 

In 0568, coincidentally, you see the top of the the entry valet for the first time.  It has a small decoration with the word DREAM .  Our Lady and Our Lord, are so brilliantly alighted with literal streams.  I still get chills from the image!

Her feet are consistent with most accepted Marian apparitions that insist Mary’s feet peek out from under her garment as a symbol of her authority and power over Satan and crushing his head under her feet.

Still evolving, I have now figured out that Our Lady is growing in part by tiny bubbles forming about her.   The rays of light are creating  the apparition evolve, too. 

Frantically concluding my work, my mouth is dry and my mind distracted by the evolving image in my hall… Trying to figure out what this is, while feeling infused.

I am thinking the bubble near where her belly button looks like it is connecting the baby to His mom.

What strikes me is the beauty in her face.  The extra large belly button…

0580, 0581, 0582

Our Lady is still forming.  The growth and changes are occurring at the crown of her head

0584, 0585

I am trying to get a clear picture for not only has Our Lady been crowned but atop of the crown is a small figure I recognized instantly as  the Holy Spirit.

These pictures take some discrimination to view because I had to get so close to show what I could see with my eyes

BEST HOLY SPIRIT IMAGE?  See the top of 0584 – the crown is first and the Holy Spirit is on top. Interestingly – the image did not grow any more after the Holy Spirit appeared.  There was a clear intelligence in how this apparition formed which gives me much to ponder and reflect upon.

It is 6pm and the image has stopped evolving. 3pm-6pm. 

 

0586, 0587
Our Lady is getting a crown shape – formed by the circles.  These are the final changes to the apparition.

(Include the pilgrimage you were on for the Holy Doors. Like the 2025 pilgrimage to the holy doors of hope)

Tell Story Part 1

The light is magnificent and unusual as this is a northeaster facing entrance and we  do not have sunlight streaming in the windows this late in the day. (use compass to analyze) Look at the sun rays.

0591, 0592, 0593

There is a crown over the aura of Our Lady (like the crown over the aura of Our Lord) but definitely not the same crown… and at the very tippy top is the Holy Spirit as I often see Him in open eyed and closed eye visions.  The Holy Spirit is very light and perhaps best seen in 0584. 

Final images and the hearing is cancelled. They will have to re-apply.

I notice that there are no more growth or development after the Holy Spirit completes the formation.

I love Our Lady’s crown – Holy Spirit is very faint in the images on top of the crown shape…. best seen in the 0592 image – right on top of the crown appearing as a figure I frequently encounter during prayers.

Follow-up: Contrast that this miraculous image stopped forming at the 6pm (ish – confirm exact time) Oddly, after an issue between neighbors was successfully resolved (only for the time being) in our favor.

By no action of mine, Dad’s Memorial is the exact same time and date of the 10 year anniversary of Our Lady of Reflection, beginning at 3pm – Explore the meanings of this.  (It also involves concepts of charity and neighborhoods.)

Final notes: This link has the same pics in a different gallery – (I am experimenting with different galleries right now) The gallery at this link is much easier for scrolling and spotting details in the pics. No dialogue.  https://thejoyofheaven.org/our-lady-of-reflection-02/

When experiencing an event like this, it is important to note the emotions and other impressions felt and received because they are connected with the live event.  Also, reflecting afterwards will usually reveal many more insights.

Even though the crown is not perfecting shaped, I KNEW Our Lady had been crowned and I clearly recognized the Holy Spirit.  I was awe struck and felt infused with joy.

Discuss: Image stopped  evolving at 6pm with the Holy Spirit at top and how awesome that was.

Discuss the 60 day bread fast following and some of the massages you heard then and lightly bring into 2025 context
