I had a dream
Over the weekend, I had a dream. I was driving my car very slowly and carefully along a very rocky road. It was severely hampering my progress, and I could have been walking faster than I was able to drive. However, I came upon an intersection, where the rocky road met a well-sealed highway. I knew that as soon as I could get onto the highway, I would be able to put my foot down and drive the car like it was meant to be driven. As I was waiting for oncoming traffic before I could turn onto the highway, I woke up.
Dreams have very important and powerful symbology, and we can learn about our life from understanding our dreams. Please bare with me as I go through this very important dream for me, because there’s something special at the end of it.
Car
Can you feel it?
I don't know about you, but I can feel change coming. Real, significant change, that will impact lives and spiritual concepts on a global scale.
Can you feel it coming too?
Alternate realities
"I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?"
– Chuang Tsu
"Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?"
– Morpheus, The Matrix
Where do you go when you dream? Are you really a human dreaming you're a butterfly, or are you a butterfly dreaming you're a human? How do you know you're not actually travelling to, or experiencing realities other than this one? When you dream, the reality you're part of seems real. How do you know that when you wake up from that dream, you're actually waking up? You might be falling asleep in the 'other reality' and dreaming again that you're a human.
Spiritual reality
Are you psychic? I am. Or used to be, over a decade ago. I was able to see a person's past or future, feel the presence of 'lost souls', and channel the words of spirit guides through automatic writing. I even ran a spiritual development group for a while, to help other people develop their own psychic abilities.
There was a spiritual church I went to a couple of times, but I stopped going when I realised that most of the people there were trapped in the past. They were there to talk to their dead loved ones through a medium. These spiritualists, as they called themselves, were so fixated on the past they couldn't move forward.
Daily Tao – Chapter 6
Today's Daily Tao is:
Experience
Experience is a riverbed,
Its source hidden, forever flowing:
Its entrance, the root of the world,
The Way moves within it:
Draw upon it; it will not run dry.
What does it mean? Well, the riverbed contains the river, channels it as it progresses. The Way moves within the river. However, if experience is the bed that contains both the river (life?) and the Way, then …..
Right, now I'm a little annoyed. I've been doing a bit of research on the net, trying to make sense of this bullshite, and I've discovered 'Tao Te Ching Commentary'. In here, I find that the chapters I've been reading up until now are completely fracked up in their translations! Here's the chapter according to this new site:
