In rare moments, words, the truth
can become as an aphrodisiac to the soul.

Aphrodisiac to the soul- that's always the signal that I'm after, that I'm called to explore and immerse my Self in...

Here is how we are:

Spooned together we lay blended, suspended, floating horizontal in an infinite room filled with signs of our own design -- vast spaciousness, no boundary -- we drift slowly out from the density of our two bodies and into our etheric third, the one living us now as how we are, the one without center or circumference, the one before even, before odd, before God.

Now we are ready, because nowhere now is how we are, tuned together, sifted into this blend without end, when softly the wind chime chimes, so suddenly that everything we are, were, or will be falls perfectly into itself, fitted precisely into place in space.

Sleepily, we catch rumors of that falling. Our invisible body begins to move, liquefy, utterly bereft of any two-ness now, loving itself increasingly sweetly, each sigh in our room a sutra for souls that pause and breathe.

We make the sign of how we are, the sign of love that can’t be known, for this is how we are, just as we have always been, and what may have seemed some space in time that dreamed itself between us, some illusionary distance, of which now there is no trace, beyond all that –

here we are, as we are, face to face.

I’ll start out by saying I very, very rarely ever remember my dreams. Once in a blue moon I’ll be woken up by something and have a vague memory of part of one that quickly slips away, but it doesn’t happen often. Maybe once a decade I’ll have a very powerful dream that I’ll remember in vivid detail, but that’s even more rare. I can still remember three of those. I know I must dream at night because everyone dreams at night, right? But when I wake up every morning, I have absolutely no memory of anything.

I know I’ve had four times when I’ve been slammed back into my body where I woke up with quite a start. It’s a bizarre feeling.

The first time it happened was about 7 years ago and I still remember the end very vividly because the exact same thing happened on three different nights in about a week. I can’t remember what was going on in the first part other than everything felt nice and normal (whatever that means). Then all of a sudden everything went pitch black and a *dark* feeling came over me. Then wham! a huge pane of glass shattered right in front of my face and I woke, sat straight up and was gasping for air and completely freaked out. I scared the crap out of my poor husband each time too because he said I screamed as well.

The only other time was about a year ago now, and it had a much nicer feeling to it. Again, I don’t remember what was going on earlier in the dream, but all of a sudden everything went black again. At first I was scared because of the other times, but then I quickly realized it was different. A glowing emerald green and gold symbol/ sign popped up right in front of my face and I woke with a start and sat straight up again. It had a warning feeling to it and my Self knew what it ment, but I wasn’t frightened. I knew the symbol represented something that could be dangerous and needed to be respected, but I wasn’t scared of it. It was very intricate and looked almost like a type of Celtic knot. I still have no clue what it ment, but the feeling I got from it was that it was a type of reminder. Maybe from a past life or something.

Anyone else have anything like those happen to them?

You may find some good stuff at this current thread, especially Nancy's and RealEyes' comments:

I know it's often hard to bring stuff back from the upper rooms, since the 3-D equipment is not that tuned to the task, due to lack of training usually, but with a little dream yoga one can avoid the typical instant amnesia.

My mate was telling me about a tour she took, where she found herself taken to the Hall, where all the wisdom and such is stored, and she had a great time finding out about anything and everything, but when she had to return, she fought desperately to try and retain some of what she had learned. Upon awakening, she went to write down all she could, but only came up with one word:

SILENCE

Waiting...can be interesting once in a great while.
While...waiting...for the unexpected (one hopes),
one can listen and marvel.

Music is by Saint-Saens...
and a delicious title...!

Borden, there is no need to apologize, but the light from the saber was kind of intense..if at all possible, could you adjust it a bit next time? : )

You describe your experience so vividly, I'm impressed by all the details. I will share more details from my experience with you later.
The elements I recognize from my own excursion are the underground setting, and people in great despair and agitation. It was explained to me that my presence there was crucial and that I could really help those people. I was, however, graciously escorted, both there and back!

I'm completely with you in your distinction between a regular lucid dream and this experience of a heightened reality.
Yes, the crispness, the 20/20 vision. I have lucid dreams regularly, but have only experienced a handful of these, what to call them? Astral awakenings?

Each time, I have been resting on my back (position may not have anything to do with it, just thought I'd mention it).
I close my eyes, and, very shortly, I'd say minutes, probably less than one, I hear a soft clicking sound, as if a lock has opened.
Then I open my eyes - my other eyes - and am in this heightened reality, so much more real than 3D.

Whereas, prior to a lucid dream, you are asleep, you have gone through various stages of sleep beforehand. Then you gradually, or all of a sudden, realize you are in a dream.
The realization can come from something incongruous, something does not quite make sense.
For instance, a concrete example: I am in, say, Japan. At night, I dream that I am in my hometown, a place on the other side of the world.
The time and location factors are the give aways. I realize that I couldn't have moved so fast, in just a few hours, between Japan and Sweden - not in 3D. Besides, I am walking around naked on a busy city street.
And at that point, the delicious freedom of movement and activities begin. You can, for instance, raid a candy store stark naked. (Embarrassingly childish, I know.)

Yes, dreams can be analyzed as the private midnight dramas we create in order to understand, perchance merge, various aspects of our selves.
But when different dimensions start to bleed and blend into each other, the picture becomes so much bigger.

This place, this pub, and all its patrons, are becoming very dear to me. I think I have been looking for you a long time. Songs, you are indeed a legend.

Parts of my 3D life are more and more beginning to feel like an elaborate cover. And I am determined to find out for what.

But if we ever get visitors to the etheric pub like that I'm sure Songsy will deal with them.

There are regular patrons of this fine establishment who aren't only as you describe, but more so. As I expressed on a fateful thread long, long ago "You never know who is on the other side of the keyboard."

This I am aware of- have you not felt the powerful 'Arseholes Begone!' wards that I've placed on the Pub? Those who would disturb the Force come and go quite quickly...

*flashes jet colored eyes and smiles slightly*

I may wear my Idiot badge proudly *and* I'm all kinds of cunning and aware in other ways- that's the beauty of the Trickster.

I may not look like it- that's part of the trick...

My quote was less than clear, I was likening some patrons to the astral entity who kicked borden back into his body. I, myself, have been on both ends of that one, and there are a few others I would suspect the same of.

All I can say at the moment is that this 3d business is indeed a cover for something so wild and unimaginable that the majority of people will not accept it, instead they will be steadily reaching back for somithing familiar for comfort. Having found comfort solely within ourselves, some of us will carry on into this unexpected brightness.

Catching up with all your words, images, sounds and energies are slicing through me right now with wild abandon. Holy holy holy. The breaking up of my self into different dimensions is an occurrence that I am experiencing on some days as well. The feeling is one of both release and steady on there as she blows. Hang on, I am, I am going with you. Conversations with others that cannot be seen is about 60 percent of my daily interaction. Is it me I am conversing with sometimes too? Yes, that is probably correct and I am aware of others, others too. Are they my loved ones that have passed? I am trying to sort out the energies from energies, feeling out the signatures, the essence. Is that you? It is you! *BIG SMILE* advice is meted out, questions are taken and sometimes others join in to the conversation to help me sort out a few things

Dreams, lucid, hyper reality. Yes Katyani. The hyper reality is the place I find myself. My physical vessel seems to dissolve around me and then it re-constitutes and then I am finding myself going through ceilings and walls, yet still breathing but it is a hyper breath, more real than the breath I am typing with right now. Awake, so awake it´s like a resurfacing through a delicate sheet of ice, popping out into a clean, clear place. At the same time, aware that this other me captured still in mediation, is lying down not too far away. Nice arrangement, I think. I can be two? Is there more?

Confession, when the astral pub was floated, I was surprised by having an experience about a day later. That is all I will call it right now. I had actually told myself, I will think about this, build up to it, not ready yet, this is territory that I am not experienced in. In the past, my dad has also told me to be careful and to make sure that I am guided properly, when I am ready. He has been an astral traveller for many years. But I have stayed away. So the experience I had, came out of a dream. Was it lucid? I think it had the beginning of becoming lucid because someone from here came to me. Which totally took me by surprise. As I said, I had not set any intention to start in with this experiment. I thought, oh my, this person is actually doing it, and he´s telling me, you´re here. I am not going reveal who, because I am not sure this really did take place, and if it was the real deal, whether this person is also conscious this took place. It was hand of friendship, which I thought was so lovely as well. I could not see this person in great detail, but their energy signature was I thought quite defined. I believe we were on a stairwell, and there was not much light. All I knew is that I made contact and the *dream* stayed on my mind for quite a few days afterwards.

Scotch is accepted here it is safe to say.
Coke?...may a cosmic alternative be found!
Then again...whatever it takes, to "carry on into
this unexpected brightness." (beautiful!)

Pull up a seat, jacko. I'd offer to buy you a drink, but in the PATEOTU, the drinks are all free.

While you're here, do I recall you being an edgar cayce fan? You might be interested in this company, here, as it was founded by a friend of cayce's and is devoted to producing cayce's cures according to the methods prescribed in the readings themselves.

How to Explain Government to an Alien (from Outer Space, not Mexico)

Stucky
The Burning Platform
Tue, 03 Apr 2012 17:39 CDT


Alien (A): "I've traveled across space to check on the progress of your species."

Human (H): "Cool. Shall I take you to our leader?"

A: "Your what?"

H: "Our leader. The guy in charge."

A: "The guy in charge of what?"

H: "Well, in charge of everything."

A: "You have one guy in charge of everything?"

H: "No, no. He's in charge of Government."

A: "What is 'Government'?"

H: "Well, Government makes the rules for us. It tells us what we can do, and what we can't do."

A: "So, Government is really smart? They come up with wise rules for you to follow?"

H" "Well, mostly. But some of its rules really are stupid."

A: "Do you disregard those rules?"

H: "No we have to follow the rules, even if they are stupid or we disagree with them. Government punishes anyone who disobeys the rules."

A: "So, you are a slave to government?"

H: "No, no. It's not like that at all. Government works for us, the people. It serves us. We are the boss."

A: "It tells YOU what to do. And it punishes YOU with violence if you disobey it. And, yet, you're it's boss?"

H: "Yeah."

A: "But there are some things government does that you don't like?"

H: "Well, yeah. Not everything government does is popular. Like, spending on wars, for example."

A: "What is a 'war'"?

H: "It's when the Government spends the people's money on weapons and soldiers and sends them over to the other side of the world to kill a bunch of people over there and destroy their country. I don't like that the Government does this."

A: "Well. I can see why you might not like that. Have you humans reached the stage where you generally consider stealing, enslaving, and killing each other to be ... bad things?"

H: "Oh, yeah! We know that! Don't steal. Don't attack. Don't assault."

A: "But you give money to Government and they use it to kill people."

H: "Umm, yeah. But the Government does good things with tax money as well."

A: "Why don't you stop paying for the things you don't like, and only pay for the good things it does?"

H: "No, we can't do that. You can't just decide to stop paying taxes because the rules say that everyone has to pay taxes."

A: "But the rules come from Government, don't they?

H: "Yes."

A: "So Government made the rule which said everyone has to pay the money?"

H: "Yes"

A: "So, everyone pays taxes because if they didn't Government would punish them using violence?"

H: "Yes, but most people don't mind paying taxes. Most people feel obligated to pay taxes and obey Government laws because it's for the good of society. Society needs Government so that means we all must pay taxes "

A: "So, just to make sure I've got this straight. Government makes the rules and you feel obligated to follow the rules, even the ones you don't like. And it tells you what to do and threatens to punish you if you don't do what it says, and it uses some of the money it takes from you using threats of violence to pay for things you don't like, and actually think are immoral like, mass murder."

H: "Yes, but we can ask it to please tell us to do smart things like, please don't use our money to kill people. We're allowed to ask them to tell us to do what we want them to tell us to do."

A: "Are you guys just scared of this thing? Is Government some huge monster which can just squish you at any moment if you disobey?"

H: "No, Government isn't a monster."

A: "Well, what is it then? Can you draw me a picture of it?"

H: "Government isn't really the sort of thing you can draw a picture of."

A: "Maybe you can take me to it. Where is Government?"

H: "You mean the buildings?"

A: "Government is a building?"

H: "No, but the politicians who make up the Government have buildings they work from."

A: "So, Government is a group of these politicians?"

H: "Yes"

A: "OK. Then what species are these politicians?"

H: "They're human."

A: "Like you??"

H: "Yeah"

A: "So, politicians are human and they're Government. You're human, but you're not Government."

H: "No"

A: "So it's the politicians they're the ones that boss the rest of you around and make you do things you don't want to do and take your money using threats of violence. But, even though you're all humans you're not allowed to boss them around and take their money?"

H: "No, they'd put us in a cage if we did that. But, look, it's not like the politicians can just do whatever they want. Like, a politician can't just come up to me on the street and make me give him money. They can't do that. Politicians can only do things like that in their job when they are working for Government."

A: "Oh, so politicians aren't Government. They just work for Government."

H: "Yeah"

A: "OK. So, Government isn't a monster, and it isn't a building, and it's not politicians. It's something else. But it employs politicians, who are just regular humans who get to boss everyone else around and take their money. How does a regular human become a politician?"

H: "Well, that's the great thing about our Government. It's a Democracy. And that means that the people actually have the power because we get to decide who among us get to be politicians. We get to vote! If a politician starts doing things we don't like we can just replace them with someone else in the next election."

A: "So the people that get chosen to be politicians only get to boss people around and take their money for a short time, and then they go back to being regular humans?"

H: "Exactly"

A: "Sounds like a powerful position to be in. But if you get to choose who does that I assume that politicians are always the wisest, most honest, caring and perspective people among you."

H: "Well, no, not really. I wouldn't say politicians are known for being honest or wise or caring. And they're certainly not the most respected people among us. Come to think of it, most politicians are lying power hungry crooks."

A: "The ones YOU chose?"

H: "Yeah, they're always doing things we don't like. They use taxpayers money to enrich themselves and their friends. And they never keep their promises to voters. They've been caught stealing and lying and taking bribes. And they mostly do what the big corporations want. Yeah, they're always doing stuff like that. They're completely corrupt. They're a bunch of lying crooks."

A: "But, ... you said that most humans know that stealing and beating each other up and killing are wrong. And you said you have the power because you can change who's in charge. So why don't you just replace the lying, thieving, murderous, crooked politicians with some regular people."

H: "Well, we don't try to elect lying crooks. It just turns out that way. But we have to have a Government because some humans are nasty and they might kill or enslave or steal. Civilization just couldn't survive without Government.

A: "Let me get this straight. Because you are worried about the small number of nasty people who are willing to kill and enslave and steal, you think it is necessary for your survival to have a system where some humans among you for a short while get to call themselves the Government and they get to order everyone else around like slaves, and if they want commit mass murder overseas, using money they stole using threats of violence. Politicians get to enslave and kill and steal because if they didn't ... someone else might? And you try to elect good honest people to be politicians but what happens every time is that the people you elect turn out to be corrupt evil lying crooks. That's your system?

H: "Yup. That's pretty much Government."
