Dreams, miscellany, etc.

[Guest guest]

It seems things are on the move. Thank you Shakti, thank you

Chrism. Here are a mixture of items excerpted from my journal....

 

-- A few weeks back, just on the cusp of sleep, I saw myself as a

small body made of golden light. I dove through a circular

doorway/opening in my third eye and disappeared. The sensation I had

watching this was one of pleasant amusement and surprise. I kind of

popped back awake, thinking to myself, " That was cool! "

 

-- I dreamed I was a giant tree being uprooted and rising into the

air. I remember noticing the roots being shaken above the ground.

In front of this, I saw a mid-sized tree as well, rising up from the

roots of the larger tree. I also saw a smallish tree rising up in

front of them both, moving faster. The small and midsized trees

ascended from the roots and disappeared amid the branches of the

larger tree.

 

-- I dreamed I was dismembered. I saw a table in a room with my body

parts spewn about, some on the table, some around the room. My head

was in the middle of the table, smiling, kind of radiant.

 

-- I dreamed I was at a funeral home (in the physical, the last few

days I've spent with family at a viewing and a funeral). I was

outside the entrance to the viewing room, others were on door duty,

welcoming guests. Brahma showed up and went in. Vishnu showed up

and went in. Then it was my turn for door duty, so I sat before the

door. Siva and Shakti showed up. I welcomed them joyously and

invited them in. I popped awake in bed. It was 3:30 AM. I was

doing Om Namah Shivaya inwardly. After writing the dream down, I

thought to myself that I'd be delighted to have them attend the

funeral/celebration of the death of my ego (whenever that occurs --

still far from it....)

 

-- Briefly during meditation, I had a visual of Kali Ma biting my

tailbone and inserting her tongue of light into my sushumna.

 

-- In meditation, I was allowed to watch one negative thought lead to

another and then another -- I saw how negative thoughts/emotions

build upon each other, connecting like links in a chain, carving out

a pathway in my consciousness that my attention could follow (and get

trapped in) if I let it. Seeing what was developing within me, I

inwardly said this little prayer. It erased all traces of the

negative thoughts and their pathway, freeing my attention to turn to

brighter things.

 

Shakti,

Guide me onto pathways of light,

Not darkness.

 

-- A poem of longing for the Divine:

 

Oh Shiva,

Lord of yoga,

Draw your love to your heart,

Call your Shakti to meet you.

 

-- Another one:

 

Wash me away into Infinity,

Take me into the ocean of Sat-Chit-Ananda,

Dissolve my self into Eternity.

 

-- On daily practice:

 

One day

I'll go out and not return.

Until then,

I take the Divine bus tour,

excursions daily.

 

-- And here's a silly one just for fun:

 

Kundalini washes through me

She is the Divine detergent.

 

-- While cooking some chicken wings (I've been eating a lot of animal

protein lately, along with watermelon and bottled water...):

 

The chickens are flying

into Eternity

and

they have no wings.

 

-- Generally, I feel like I'm accessing my heart a lot more than I

used to. I glimpsed that much of the pain/knots and general problems

I've had for many years around my shoulder blades and neck are

related to the heart chakra and maybe also the throat chakra. As

I've been practicing the safeties, some gentle hatha yoga, and just

generally trying to radiate more from the heart (I've traditionally

been very cerebral...), I find changes occurring in my back. I'm

hardly pain free, but I feel stuff moving around and changing in the

alignment of the muscles and the bones in my neck and shoulders.

Shoulder stand, fish and headstand -- asanas I've not been able to

comfortably do for many years -- seem especially powerful for me at

this time.

 

My thanks to and Shakti for gifting this Grace. The

group is awesome -- it's like bathing in a stream of Shakti when I

read it.

 

Much love and thanks,

 

David
