We are Dreamers
"I
teach a great deal through dreaming. Most tantric mystics do, since
we're really dreamers, we're poets. So I visit people constantly in
dreams, and explain things to them in dreams that I couldn't explain
in this world because in this world everybody's so busy measuring
by the angstrom of the body. But in the dream worlds, you're used
to that. Then I come and show you interesting things. You won't remember
when you wake up. How could you? The physical mind can't contain the
things. But your inner being knows, remember, you're not just the
physical mind that measures by the body. You're eternity."
Sometimes I am in the stream, flowing with the
happy awareness of white lines of light. Sometimes the world sparkles
and my smile reflects all those pieces of light. Some Times.
Sometimes I swim up stream, like a salmon struggling to spawn, and die.
Lately that up stream swim has been against some very strong currents.
The water has been murky, dark, too deep for much light to penetrate.
The light finally began to dissipate the deep darkness. It began with
a dream. Not my dream. Nope. Not this time.
I opened an email from a high school friend. She is a flight attendant
for United, and I see her every 5 to 10 years. I saw her about 6 months
ago, and I gave her a copy of my book, Awake in
the Dream. After she read the book she wrote, and had some interesting
comments and questions. Yesterday, in her email she wrote to me about
a dream she had last week.
She said that it was a very vivid dream. She saw me walking along the
beach, and walking just steps behind me there was a man. He was tall
and svelt, and he had curly brown, or sandy blond hair. She said that
while we looked liked we were separate, this man and I, we were not.
There was really no difference between us, we were the same.
There is no doubt in my mind that this person walking behind me was
Rama. I found it fascinating that the dreamplane reached out to me through
the dream of an old friend.
After reading her email, and later, talking to a very close spiritual
sister, I have felt the light again, sparkle by
little sparkle. The water is more filtered with light, as are
my own dreams.
I did have a dream with Rama a few nights ago, and I wish I could tell
you what he said, and boy did he have a LOT to say.
I sat with a small group of students. I sat in the front row on the
right end, as I faced Rama. I remember that he looked directly into
my eyes as he spoke. I remember the intensity of what he said, and the
intensity of the energy that came through his eyes, but I can pull back
no words, or content. There was one sentence in particular, that I thought
I could hold onto, and bring back into consciousness-but I didn't.
If you have been fighting the dark fight back
up stream, I just want you to know that you will find sparkles of light
filter through, to you. You don't have to do anything in particular,
just know that the magic will touch you, surprise you, remind you that
you are eternity.
