Journeying through dreams and meditation

Let’s Let Together

Morning Meds; 3 13 20

Why do we battle darkness when all we need to do is turn on the light?

Darkness recedes as quickly as light advances.

How quickly?

At the speed of light of course.

Let’s let our core essence shine.

Let’s be the solution we inherently are.

We are all in this together.

Let’s fill this world with light.

Our Posse’s Voices

Morning Meds; 3 12 19

We are never alone.

Just beyond our busy mind, a silence awaits.

In that quiet, the loving voices of all we have ever been and all the who’s we could ever be, can be heard.

With them, is our posse of helpers, waiting to give their all in our behalf.

Wanting to provide guidance, waiting to lighten our load.

We are connected to every speck of consciousness that has ever existed.

We are eternal.

We are light.

We only imagine ourselves alone when the sounds of busy, blocks our view and we allow the voice of fear to speak louder than the truth of the silence.

We are all in this together.

Ukraine 2

I commented on a post on a Facebook, someone in Ukraine asking advice on how to face death. It is a sad reality to see, not that it is a new reality, but it is a new war in a different location. It has all the trappings that comes with any war, acts of man’s inhumanities to man.

It has all the right conditions, if compared to hurricanes, to become a stage five war. There is the possibility of it spilling over into neighboring areas. All it takes is one overzealous idiot to add the next needed act of stupidity.

Tragically we choose competition over cooperation, fear over love, tribalism over unity, distrust over trust, rejection over acceptance, exclusion over inclusion. We can only hope that this hurricane of change can in some way help humanity to embrace beliefs that would lead to peace.

Here is a pale attempt to offer advice to a complete stranger on how one prepares to face death. …

I am setting in a chair in complete safety. I do not have tanks in the front yard, nor hunger and fear gnawing within, nor shattered neighborhoods with injured family members and compatriots. I am not huddled in the cold with no utilities. My life has not been ripped away. I am not separated from my family nor concerned about their immediate safety. My thoughts on how one can face the possibility of death may be of little help to you or those in Ukraine.

Every religion has Its own set of opinions. Your belief system offers hope as to what is the best course of action to help you quell the uncertainties and the fears generated.

Only those things that you truly believe can be changed into tangible results. Within you are those answers.

Cling to Whatever or Whomever it is you see as your Creator and allow Whatever or Whomever that is comfort you as a mother would a child. Find that essence of love that keeps your beliefs alive and wrap it around you as a blanket.

Most likely my ego would like to add, I would prefer to die bravely, knowing that just beyond that moment all will be fine, but I don’t think a life will be judged by its final reaction and it is easy to imagine that from the safety of a warm chair.

I believe we never die; we just transition our spirit/soul back to a nonphysical form. At the instance of release, we are immersed back into the realization that we are unconditionally loved. The warmth and comfort of that infinite reality soothes all the pain and fear.

We will see this human experience as a dream. A dream of ups and downs, joyfulness and nightmares. Beyond this experience there is total bliss where we can reminisce with those who have transitioned ahead of us. The terminology for that experience varies with each belief system.

You have a world of various beliefs praying for this nightmare to end. Their Whatever or Whomever and mine always hears our requests. Let’s also pray that those involved are listening as well and what they embrace as a Higher Power will speak loudly enough so they too can hear.

Sending love.

Emptiness

Morning Meds; 3 11 19

At our core, we are 100% Source energy.

Both the Buddhists and the Hindus believe that the fullest manifestation of this energy is total emptiness, a great void.

I wonder if it is what Lao Tzu was referring to in the eleventh chapter of the Tao Te Ching.

We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wheel move.

We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.

We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it livable.

We work with being, but non-being is what we use.

Sleeping Oak

Morning Meds; 3 9 19

I saw myself a giant ancient Oak, sleeping in the wake of winter.

Every limb, every branch, every twig, deep in slumber.

Every node, who’d ever birthed a leaf, then stirred in spring’s embrace.

Deep within, the life force flowed, stirring consciousness awake.

I saw every node, where life once thrived, as doors to experienced past lives.

All the blooms and leaves, waiting to grow, just lives waiting to be embraced.

We have access to a countless number of leaves and beyond that, countless trees.

Anything we need is waiting on the length of our branches.

We are a forest, a forest of energy.

We are a forest of energy, breathing life into our temporary home.

May we have enough compassion to let each of us rest in each other’s embrace.

A Visit from Joy

Morning Meds; 3 9 20

Beauty is the unexpected impossible droplets of linked events that can happen in our life.

One of the obstacles I choose for myself in this incarnation was/is overcoming depression.

Habitual thoughts and feelings still arise at times.

3/1… during meditation I requested a Spirit of Joy to visit me, I thought that’s what I needed.

3/2 … I dreamt,

I was on a deck, attached to an A frame house. The deck was a slate blue/grey. That means something to me. Next, I was on the top of the roof and some people were throwing rocks up to me. I caught a couple of them and then they threw up a green stone, which was just a bit out of reach.

I recognized the stone, it’s one I use in connection with my heart chakra. (I think that it symbolizes the need for me to fall back to the Heart Sutra for a while.)

Then I was back on the deck, and I saw someone climbing down the roof, I hurried over to help her down. Taking her hand, I helped her onto the deck. I realized it was my friend Angie.

Angie at age 21 choose to leave this world 18 years ago, a casualty of depression. Her middle name is Joy.

I don’t think it is Angie exactly, but it is a recognizable symbol that my request was heard. Couldn’t have been delivered by a sweeter soul. Pretty cool.

Sunday, my wife Cheryl and I went to a meditation/ past life regression class, conducted by a friend of ours. In one of the sessions, we did a, find your guide journey.

In the visualization I saw this face I hadn’t seen before. It was a golden face surrounded by what looked like seven golden flower petals. It shimmered.

As it progressed, she seemed to turn into a sunflower like essence. Her gown had green sleeves like dandelions leaves, the rest of her stayed a glowing golden yellow.

She was to give me a box, which she did. It was about a foot long and shaped like a giant Sunflower seed. I still am in the process of finding out what to do with it.

I did eat it, I also planted it in my heart, but I think there is more. It felt real good.

When I get a symbol that doesn’t trigger a thought and I’m not sure of a meaning, I look it up in a dream book. This is what it said, Sunflowers specifically stands for Spiritual Joy.

How cool is that. Like I said, beauty is the unexpected, impossible droplets of linked events that can happen in our lives.

There is so much available to us when we ask. We are loved completely just the way we are.
