The following is a powerful experience I had last night, 03/26/03. I will enter this exactly as it is in my notes:

"The Pleiades are said to be young hot blue Stars, unlikely to have life sustaining planets around them. You must understand that in a parallel Universe a 3 dimensional world can exist in it, just as your 3 dimensional world exists in your space orbiting a yellow Sunstar.
To us, your Star appears to be unable to sustain life if we were to observe it soley from the perspectives of the physics of our Universe. Yet both you and I know each exists. The sublime differences in the physics of the Universes keeps scientists bound by their perception of the observed.
It is the perception of the unobserved that is needed to comprehend the existance of our world. So as most on your world believe in a God they cannot see, they do this by faith; a knowledge of evidence of things not seen, so that things not visible are known as real.
Why then is it so difficult to believe in our world? Does the limitation of science look only at the observable? Is gravity observable? Is the stream of light between one point in space observable as a line from origin to observed destination?
Consider these things and ask. Your answer lies within the question itself."
~ A Female Being 3/26/03

(The dialogue continued, but in a more powerful form....)

"When you look through glass it is clear. When you look through still water you see clearly what is below. When you look through the sky you see what is beyond it in distance. Yet each of these things has a substance, some solid, some fluid, some ether. It has measurable substance, though it is clear and you can see through it as if it were not there. So too it is with our worlds.
Our worlds exist in the realm of unseen substance. You can see through our worlds as we see through yours, excepting when our vision of mind is tuned to see, to view the world beyond our own, and in some events to visit one with another, etherealy and physicly.
Only a small change in the molecular vibration, the workings of sub-elemental particles, allows the perception of extradimensional substance.
Choosing to believe is an act of will. Choosing to open the gate to the voice crying outside will allow you to see the visitor who calls. Yet if you leave the gate closed and the curtain drawn, you will only hear, and you will never see who has come to your gates.
Realise then that in the depths of the loneliest places, you are in the company of a multitude. I am Maia, and these words are true."

The above photo of a nebula is the best I can find that compares to how the Maia energy orb appeared. It was more discarnate and swirling than this though. Hard to explain. Even harder to depict by a comparison of photos or drawings.

The Battle of East Harad against Sauron
03/26/03 ~ added 03/29/03

After Maias visitation I had a very clear and open spiritual channel. I lay on my bed, closed my eyes, and entered a dark vortex into what was like a wormhole. I was trying to find Arwen and tell her Maia had visited me. She had gone to the East to help inncent people.
I emerged on a battlefield and saw murky dark brown/maroon smoke rising from a distant city, and people fighting in dark dusty chaos. I didn't like this, so I "closed the channel" and came home.
I decided to go back to the battle, thinking that I might as well use this opportunity while such a channel was open. We can't do this every day. I emerged to see armies engaged in battle. One of the soldiers from the Eastern armies of Mordor or East Harad looked directly at me with a combination of fear, anger, confusion, and surprise. Then I saw a soldier from the Western army of Eriador (Or its ally) go down, being hit by some projectile or debris in his lower (left?) leg. I reached out my hand to touch him and shield him, and to try to ease the pain.
I stood up and stretched my arms out to both sides and yelled, "Stop it!, Just Stop It!!"
After that I (teleported?) to the capitol city of far East Harad. The city was under a pall of a unique murky brown/maroon smoke. I saw several magic disks floating, hovering, waiting, in the air above a building. I was not sure what to do about this. I felt like (something?) was guiding me what to do.
Using the powers of Gandalf, my mind and vision seemed to go with one disk. I asked it to try to locate Sauron. I saw a squarish white building with a tall square tower rising from the left front corner. It reminded me of an old Catholic mission, but knew it wasn't a church. It appeared abandoned, as there were no lamps burning and windows were dark. I sensed Sauron might be in its subterranian chambers, but I wasn't completely sure of this, just a feeling.
I directed the magic disks into formation, maybe 10 or possibly 20 small disks. they headed towards the white building and shot out greenish yellow rays. the rays hit the building but didn't appear to cause damage. Then all at once giant flaming arrows and spears came out of the sky from the south, perhaps from the sky-ships of Eriador.
The rays, the magic disks, the flaming spears all converged as one and struck the building. Everything was hanging there suspended in slow motion, but when those big flaming spears came from the sky, everything sped up. They struck the building, which exploded and collapsed, in a flash of fire and dusty smoke.
I immediately returned home through the wormhole and the vortex disappeared. The question is, has anyone heard from sauron since 3/26 or 3/27, 2003??

The picture below isn't exactly what I was looking for, but its similar to what I saw when those magic disks and flaming spears went into the building I saw through the wormhole.
NOTE: I do not agree with war, and hope for peace. Unfortunately these things happen, even though we would wish that they didn't. It is as Arwen said, we need to learn to understand more, and to see things from a spiritual perspective. Then perhaps war would cease.

Below is very similar to the flaming spears I saw
