Another Jesus Image Found
April 15, 08 by david
I am always floored when people can find Jesus or the Virgin Mary in unusual places. I often wonder the state of mind that people are in when they honestly believe that the mother of God would show up on a grilled cheese sandwich. A grilled cheese sandwich?
Anyway, the latest sighting happened in a Orlando, Florida hospital prayer garden window. My first thought is, “Well… that, at least, makes some sense. It’s not a grilled cheese sandwich or the trunk of a tree.”
The pictures are pretty striking. I can see a relatively clear face in the reflection. However, my first inclination is matrixing. Matrixing is your minds desire to order the world around you (basically seeing shapes in the clouds, but, in this case, light reflection off some glass). Seeing faces in chaos is a very primitive instinct that is believe to have a lot to do with our survival as a species. But this isn’t a lesson in matrixing
Also, notice that the angle of all the pictures is relatively the same and the fact that when the camera is closer to the glass, the image gets grainier and grainier. This leads me to believe that the image is definitely a reflection of the light and requires the viewer to be standing just so in order to see it. Though, in order to be fair, I wasn’t there and I am only basing my opinion off the pictures I have seen.
But regardless of what the image is, I find it really interesting that all of these images of Jesus or the Virgin Mary seem to be replicas of what we “think” these people looked like. Jesus being a tall, thin, white man with a neatly kept beard and long, flowing, black hair. This picture is reminiscent of this description. But is this really what Jesus looked like? I have heard arguments that it probably wasn’t, but who in the heck really knows? I think it is an impossible detail for anyone to really know for sure.
I am not a believer in this phenomenon. I have never seen anything that has really floored me and I am aghast that anyone can wholeheartedly believe in a reflection off of some glass or a burnt cheese sandwich is proof of their faith. My amazement certainly doesn’t end there, but you catch my drift.
However, I have nothing but complete and total compassion for the man who found some comfort in the image as his ex-wife is battling stage-3 cancer. Perhaps this is what really matters and it is the final point of the image anyway. If there is a God and he is behind this, then I say, “Kudos to you, sir… But lay off the cheese sandwiches, will ya? It’s a bit silly!”

I think you are doing a little matrixing yourself. I certainly wouldn’t call the face of the image white when I look at it objectively. The white part is in the heart area. I don’t see flowing hair and I can’t tell that he is a tall, thin, white man. He looks darker than most white people I know… Maybe you are under the influence of the paradigm of the tall, thin, white man with flowing hair??

Hmmm… Objective is certainly what I wouldn’t call you. The white part is the “heart area”? How do you get that from an objective point of view? When is the last time you have seen a “heart area” glow like that? Perhaps in some religious art you have seen?
Secondly, he looks “darker” that most of the white people you know? How do you get that from a fairly black and white image. I was talking about the facial features rather than the tone of the skin. Perhaps I should have used the word “Caucasian” in place of “white” for my description. Maybe that wouldn’t have confused you?
I, personally, see long flowing hair surrounding the face. But that is the beauty of matrixing. We all see something slightly different.
Thanks for proving my point.
Lastly, I find it a bit sad that you missed the whole point of the post.
