Learn to Know the Dark Side:
A Strange Dream (written 4/10/06)
If one
reads my thesis on dreams,
(which can be found in the Selected Writings feature under
“Sith Database” in
the menu,) than one understands how dreams are actually deep meditative
states
in which the third eye takes over one’s vision.The night before last I had an especially revealing
dream... one that I
had been expecting.
I have
recently discovered that the
“Irradus Barrier” has actually already been
partially broken.(The
Irradus Barrier being the lack of
knowledge blocking the strong projection of emotional, and later,
physical/literal
energy.)Charisma,
presences behind
places, uneasy feelings about people or revulsion, and peer pressure
are all
signs of projected emotional makeup, mixtures, or energy.All human beings have
their Omnichi (the
medium of internal/personal creation) attached and anchored into Manchi
(the
medium of external creation,) and so we are all emitting our internal
creations
outwards.Simply
put, we are always
dumping our excessive emotions outward.The problem is controlling and directing these.I deduced that since the
third arm (what I
call the ability to create in oneself, and create through
oneself,) is related to the third eye, it must be dreamlike
in its nature.So,
I decided to explore
it, I must meditate on it, and my dream was the result.
In my
dream, I was at a lake that I
visited a fair amount through my past in other dreams, only I was on
the
opposite end of it than usual.I
can’t
remember a fair amount of the beginning... simply mindless progression
of
time... but than I remember approaching a deep and wide dip in the
orange-colored dirt path where it grew near the water of the lake, and
than
hearing a voice, presumably of my father’s... yet not, for it
was sage-like,
who was there with me as well as some friends of mine.
His voice
spoke a mystical and
stoic-like message which went something along the lines of this:He told of how humans live
up on the land,
basked in the sun, warm, comfortable, and superior.(It was a bright day at the lake in this
dream, versus white-skied and gloomy.)I
felt the warmth of the sun and its sluggish comfort as he said this.But than he detailed
various levels of
fish....
He told of
the fish that live right
under the surface of the water, in the realm of glistening light and
meandering
shadows cast from the waves, and as he mentioned their existence, I
myself was
in that position under the water.
Than he
spoke of the fish that live
deep within the watery realm, where “but a dot of light is
their
existence.”I
was than deep in the black
and green darkness, and above me, where the sun was directly above the
water,
there was a round spot of light, shifting yet quite bright in contrast.
I than
turned around, (presumably
stopping the journey back around the lake,) and turned to a little path
leaving
the one around the lake, and walked towards an open forest service gate.And so the dream ended.
I have
interpreted the dream to
mean that contrast, and “light” and
“dark” make up the focus necessary to
direct powerful energies.Not
only must
it be directed, and not only must it be in contrast to all other
emitting
energies (by closing them off), but it also must be created in the
super-conscious realm of the subconscious, or the “murky
waters.”
And so
this dream has become a
focusing metaphor for meditation.
