MY TWO DREAMS
I want to share two dreams I’ve had, with the community. I believe these dreams demonstrate an idea that is important to Urians.
The first dream happened about 17-18 years ago. I had been on this path for only a couple of years at the time and had not yet completed all of the Priestly Training. To be honest, I don’t remember if it was actually a dream or a vision received during meditation. However, I don’t think that is really as important as the content of the experience.
I found myself floating in the air. I was in a closed and self-contained environment that represented the Earth and its spiritual or astral systems. I was floating between the globe, which was shrouded in deep shadow, and the barrier of the top of the sky. The barrier was impenetrable but difficult to see, mostly covered in clouds or heavy fog. I bumped up against the ceiling of the earthly system, unable to get out.
As I floated there in the airy regions between the ceiling and the shadow globe below, arms began reaching up out of the shadow and grasping my feet and legs. The arms were many, with hands grasping at me, and were of all different races and varied in their states. Some were clean, others dirty, and varied in age and gender as well. They began pulling me down into the shadow from which they rose and I struggled to stay in the airy realm above. Despite my struggles, I was losing the battle and they were slowly dragging me down towards the shadow earth.
I cried out to God for help…at this time I don’t remember the exact words, just that I called out to God…and a large, faintly luminescent hand came down through the impenetrable ceiling and clouds. I grasped the hand, which was enormous and yet fit into my hand as though a father to a child. The hand pulled me out of the grasp of the shadows and grasping hands below and pulled me up through the ceiling. I then woke up from the dream/vision.
The interpretation of this event is obvious to see. The system of Earth, is self-contained and designed to keep us here, recycling us over and over. Only the hand of God, in other words, the intervention of God, can pull us out of the system.
It is of note here that I did not call out on a specific name, I just used the word God. However, in that word was contained all my understanding, at the time, of Spirit.
I must also point out that the knowledge that was clearly within me, was not enough. Though I had the knowledge, my own efforts were insufficient to free me from the shadow prison. It was only by calling out to God that I was pulled to safety. This clearly implies that the interaction between me and Spirit had to be active, I had to call out.
The second dream happened last night.
During this dream I existed both in my body, experiencing the dream in first person, and outside of my body, experiencing it in the third person.
I found myself in a room that was part of a building in a compound. I was surrounded by maybe 4-6 people. The leader was a woman. She gave me a flexible mask (see illustration) made of small, flat sections of steel and polished, white stone. There were slots missing for eyes and mouth. I was told to press the mask against my face and hold it there by pressing my hands to my ears. She then began to ask me questions. I don’t remember most of what she said or asked, or my answers, but it was an examination. She was trying to figure me out and determine my position on some issues. At one point she said, “That would be the black triangle lodge that is….” And at that point I interrupted her and said, “I’m not talking about the occult, I’m talking about mysticism”.
After I said that, she froze, and all the people in the room went stiff and silent. It was obvious that she did not expect me to say that and that the word “mysticism” had alarmed her and the others in the room. Before she could say anything, my brother the scribe touched me on the shoulder. He pointed to a clock on the wall which was at 9 o’clock. He then spoke, “We have to get going, it’s getting late”. It was clear that he was intervening in the situation to break me out and give me a reason for why I had to leave. I agreed with him and took off the mask.
We left the building and went out into the night. It was winter, with snow on the ground. In a large open area, I found my car. The car was a cream colored vehicle that reminded me of a Chevy Nova I had once driven. I got into the car and began trying to back out of the spot I was parked in. The snow made it extremely difficult to maneuver the car and I had to concentrate on not losing control.
While I was doing this, a woman was in the passenger seat. She was looking around frantically, nervous that the members of this weird cult might come out and attack us. I told her to stop looking all around and to calm down as it was distracting me from controlling the car. In addition to that, I was also trying, unsuccessfully, to light a cigarette.
I did manage to back the car up and turn it around without crashing into the other vehicles in the area, or losing control and going into a ditch. We then left the compound and I partially woke up. I remember thinking that it was an odd dream, and then went back to sleep.
The dream continued with me driving a short distance and then pulling off the road to hide in a secluded spot with the lights off. In a moment or two, a car from the compound went by, obviously following me.
At this point I found myself in a convenience store, ducking down behind the isles to avoid the notice of several of the cult members that were in the store.
Then the dream began to dissolve into random images and the third party me remarked that the dream has now dissolved into random dream images and that the message was over. I then drifted into a deeper sleep until morning.
After discussing the dream with my brother, the following meanings became clear.
The cult represents the Powers, the Vanities, Principalities, and actually the entire system we are currently trapped in. The leader, I’m not sure, just that she was female and very serious.
The car, Chevy Nova, well a nova is a bright, exploding star. Perhaps it is a symbol of my growing awareness and understanding on the path.
The woman in the car with me was my feminine side, my anima. She represents my emotional side and my intuition. I had to shut her down a bit to control the car, using the masculine side to stay calm, focused and logical, while apparently still struggling with some residual addiction issues. (trying to light the cigarette.)
Driving down the road and hiding with my lights off. This represents something I have developed over the years unconsciously. My brother is the one who noticed that I sometimes do this. Since then, I have tried to learn to consciously control it. In certain situations I can draw in my aura. This seems to take me out of people’s awareness somewhat. It’s not invisibility but works to make me unnoticeable or forgettable.
I am sure there are things I missed, and things I forgot from my discussion with my brother this morning. But overall, the two events point to the fact that the entire system is designed to be, or at least has become, a self-contained prison, and those that run it and live in it do not want anybody to get out. It is also clear that only intervention from outside the system, i.e., God, can get us out.
