dreams of Cobras and such :)

[Guest guest]

Hi Elektra, Sharing further on snakes appearing in one's consciousness states, and feeling a bit less 'self'-conscious here now, here is how the cobra manifested for me. There have been other visions/images arisings in meditation like sitting in a meditation cell, in India I believe, where a cobra came in and coiled in my lap while I 'sat', or other times when he would stand by me and flare his hood over my head (as a protector I think), but the following is the one I wished to share. Some eight months after the full suite of spontaneous awakening that occurred in December 04 while on a vipassana retreat, on the day after I had just suffered sunstroke whilst basking in sun and samadhi too long while meditating on the beach, I was sitting outside alone under a shade canopy, on a

campground picnic table in a contemplative frame of mind (actually doing the ‘forgiveness’ sadhana in preparation for chakra healing work to come with my friend Luc. As I was sitting there, a single mind moment arose with startling clarity, of a lucid remembrance of the following ‘vision’, which I immediately typed down into my PDA phone. It went like this. "Three King cobras appear on the road on which I am walking (somewhere in India I think) ...they are so so large I know I am unable to run away ... And so I sit

in meditative pose in the middle of the road and close my eyes to await them ... I feel the kiss of the cobra's breath on my face as the largest one draws near and I am still. I slowly open my eyes, whereupon the cobra becomes a radiant being as do the other two guardians who flank him ... We converse for some time of which I have no recall of the details ... But I remember that other villagers have run away for help ...others watch from afar... friend cobra/radiant celestial tells me only I can discern their radiant form ..to all others they are 3 snakes. They then disappear and it is done." I later came to know

the names of these three celestials, Buddhas all, and later in January when in India where I was ‘guided’ to go to attend Kalachakra 2006, their names were made known to me. At this time, I came to understand that I had been given instructions, which it seems to me are being progressively 'revealed' as 'intuitions' or 'knowingnesses', that I have learned to be able to confirm or not (most often they are) using 'applied kinesiology'. It's kind of funny/interesting in that having had these various 'encounters' with the cobra before I went to India, in each of them there was a calm surrender of all fear, of them, and I suppose of death, and yet when I was getting ready to

actually go to India, I remember a few moments of something clenching at my belly saying 'oh shit ... maybe the dream/vision is going to become 'reality'. Well, when I got there, I met the foremost of them, but it was on inner planes only, perceived as a gentle presence who got my attention in various ways when it was necessary for me to pay attention to receive more knowingnesses (which I journalled), that came more like a warm breath, or a pearl slipped into still water. Lotta pearls were received on that trip ... which I'm still sorting them out. Metta, Alex.

Hello All,

as far as I can remember I was always a lucid dreamer, but my experiences with snakes has always been an underlining truth, as I'm scared of most animals, as I'm very sensitive I feel their pain and a connection, as if hearing them and feeling their energy, something I'm yet to control for years, but I'm sharing just to say that even as a child I was fearful of anything that moved in a manner of snake worm etc... but over the years I have even gotten a tattoo of one with roses, beside the cover up factor I don't know why I chose that, then when my triad was placed together I was blown away..not scared but I had experience with a member who was able to tell me what I was seeing, very large snakes, snakes dancing etc..I wasn't scared but it was very different but I accepted it...as how a meditation could tun into a full blown snake experience...and at time when my wording was confusing he was able to disguising what I was experiencing at the time and I'm thankful...

 

love T

Hi Alex,

 

Thanks for sharing that amazing story with us all,

 

my dreams of snakes are increasing at the moment, I

still haven't mastered the complete surrender but I'm

getting there, every night I get a little closer and

it's building in intensity.

 

The last couple of nights, while being ill, I've had

nothing but fears in my dreams, like nightmares. At

first I tried to run from what was chasing me or

threatening me, then I turned to face it, and now,

last night, I surrendered to an " evil force " that

wanted to put a strange mechanical mask on my face and

force me to play a strange computer game that somehow

seemed sinister to me. I remember running away at

first and then just getting tired of all the running

and so I surrendered.

They put the mask onto my face and I lost my identity.

I appeared in a dark kitchen where a snake hung on a

branch attached to the wall. It was very somber and

not at all threatening. Black with red stripes.

A lady stood in the shadows and told me the snake was

not dangerous at all and infact was friendly.

I stared at it, still not fully at ease. The fear runs

deep.

Every night I face my fears. The difference is , now I

look forward to it, I'm not afraid of my fears anymore

 

Bring on the nightmares and let me grow thats what I

say.

 

I look forward to being fully friends with the serpent

as I love and admire it's beauty and movements so much

in waking life.

 

I look forward to the day when I can sit with one on

my lap as you did and meditate peacefully.......

 

Inlove Elektra x x x
