Freaking People Out

[Ninurta]

These are stairways to "heaven". You will never be closer to "God" than you are in the woods (and certainly not in a church), which is why they appear there. This is why Jesus is spoken of as having gone out to the "wilderness" occasionally in the Bible.

They "appear" and "disappear" because they do not actually exist. You can think of them as "portals to another dimension", but they are presented to individuals in a manner that will intrigue that individual, but which he or she can comprehend in some way. "Stairs" we almost all understand... but the physics and metaphysics behind these particular stairs are beyond our comprehension.

If you find a set and climb it, at the top you will find a "door", which is, in a way, a decision point. If you open that door (make an affirmative decision), you will see things beyond comprehension. if you enter through that doorway after you open it, you will most likely never be seen again - the vast majority who go through them never return, are never seen or heard from again. Some do come back. Don't ask them about the experience - they will tell what they are comfortable to tell of it, if anything at all.

There is a reason for the feeling of "dread" that most folks encounter when they see them - it is because they do not feel that they belong on the other side of the door, for whatever reason.

There is also a reason for the "faces" and "beings" you see in the trees when you ascend the stair - those are spiritual beings (not necessarily "ghosts" or "ancestors") whose job it is to prevent you from going through the doors. They will usually try to scare you out of further ascent, which is not difficult for them if you have experienced the dread feeling strongly enough.

These stairs are "real", in the sense that people actually do encounter them. They are not "real" in the sense that they are one-time constructs, and can never be located again if you encounter one and leave without ascending it or going through the door. 

They do not all go to the same "place" or dimension". They go to a destination tailored for you. You are the only one who will ever see that particular set of stairs.

Enoch and Elijah must have had a better understanding of chariots than they did stairs... they never died, they were "taken up". Some things are seen not with the eyes, but with the soul, which does not have eyes to see with in the traditional sense of "Seeing".
