Hi!
It was sometime at the beginning of 1975 that I had a vivid symbolic dream. I dreamt that my husband and I were walking together along the beach, flanked for miles by sheer high cliffs. At some point we stopped walking and turned towards the sea. A path appeared, stretching towards the horizon; I stepped onto it and started walking. After a few minutes I turned round to see where my husband was and realised he was still on the beach, looking at me with sadness. I realised then that he was not joining me on this journey. I turned back and carried on walking along the path.
I kept walking and noticed the sea changed from being calm and smooth to being turbulent. The water was a dark murky brown colour and the waves by now had become huge and threatening and crashed down onto the path. I was very frightened and felt very alone. As I kept on through this storm my anxiety increased. Then suddenly the path stopped, I could not walk any further. It never occurred to me to go back, so I just stood there, not knowing what to do. Then I went down on my knees and said: "Thy Will be done." Immediately the waves died down, the sun came out, there was a lovely blue sky and a deep feeling of peace flowed through me. Then a beautiful island appeared which I joyfully stepped on to.
To me this surrender symbolises the end of the mind's journey of control and the reconnection with the Source. Quoting Eckhart Tolle from his book 'The Power of Now', "Since resistance is inseparable from the mind, relinquishment of resistance - surrender - is the end of the mind as your master, the imposter pretending to be "you", the false god. All judgement and all negativity dissolve. The realm of Being, which had been obscured by the mind, then opens up. Suddenly, a great stillness arises within you, an unfathomable sense of peace. And within that peace, there is a great joy. And within that joy, there is love. And at the innermost core, there is the sacred, the immeasurable, That which cannot be named". He also tells us that this stillness dissolves the 3D patterns of the conditioned mind. It is a powerful transformer of people and situations. External conditions that were being resisted dissolve quickly through surrender, an alignment takes place to reflect the nature of God as a power that maintains order and balance.
So what I am realising is, Stop trying to reach God in order for Him to fix everything that is wrong. Instead, relax and let God reach you. When you are listening, when you don't think, your mind is at rest and you become receptive and responsive to the energy which then runs your life.
I'd like to end by reciting the last part of PAUL BURA's article 'THE SEEDS'.
The seeds came thick and fast now. Beautiful, bright, pulsating spheres.
They flowed like a huge river from the 'Cathedral of Light' that belonged nowhere yet was everywhere.
They cascaded out, filling the dark void that was a universe,
blown out from the source: the place of light', seemingly seconds before.
As they drew further away from the light each sphere separated and became two,
a duality flying side by side. The place of light receded.
From its vast interior came a sound, a sound so joyous that it was as if this sound heralded the coming of a great army of creative beings.
The sound followed the spheres out into the limitless immensity of the universe.
Sang to them as a mother sings to her children. And they knew bliss. The sound that they heard was the great AUMTill next time!
