The Tree of Life

Tree of LifeI had a dream where I am one among a group of students.  We are preparing for our board certification exams.  I’ve just entered into the curriculum but classes are already well underway.  I apparently have transfer course credit that I can transfer in to place me on par with my new classmates.  I notice my classmates are all in excellent health.  I’m thinking I had better start my diet plan back up again.  Although I don’t remember studying the course material I somehow seem to know the subject matter as if I had lived it.  Considering the subject matter might be too easy for me, I consider the possibility of a dual major. 

 

At this point I began to awaken, slowly regaining consciousness.  The dream however had not yet ended.  As I lay there in bed fully lucid looking over my course work I saw before me within the dream my third eye looking back at me.  The iris was a beautiful luminescent etheric blue.  Within the pupil I could see lightning flashes of green and blue.  As I looked more carefully at the lighting within the pupil I noticed the lighting had created a pattern in the sky.  Within my pupil was now the tree of life.  Lightning was flowing through it’s many branches and trunk.  Knowing what I was beholding…I was in utter awe.   

 

My alarm clock sounded so I reached over to snooze it.  I continued to lay there for a few more minutes trying to return.  Instead, I saw an olive green backdrop upon which three hieroglyphs appeared.  My alarm sounded again.  It was time to awaken. 

 

 

Modern Tree of LifeI went to Wikipedia to find an image to use for my post and read a little bit about the origins of the tree of life.  Interestingly the last picture image on the Wikipedia page, which I did not like because it didn’t look like a tree, is a graphical representation of the modern “Tree of Life on the Web” project.  When I clicked to enlarge this photos it strinkingly resemples an iris with the tree within the pupil. The hieroglyphs I saw look much like the hand drawn tree of life on the same Wikipedia page that Darwin hand sketched. 

The Distraction of the Clear Light

Clear LightLast night I had a dream where I am being pursued by dark spirits who distract me.  They come nightly to pursue their quest.  The question is can I be distracted.  In the dream I am laying in bed and aware of the many spirits around me when suddenly I catch a glimpse of a bright white light.  The light is so intense I can barely focus on it. My inclination is to look away.  This is the light from which I must not be distracted. The goal is to move toward this light but the dark spirits are pawing at me.  

 

I have a son who is with me.  Throughout the night I’m attempting to avoid the dark spirits but they are powerful and persistent.  In the morning, I tell my son that the following night I must leave him alone because I have a business trip to undertake.  He is around 11 years old, almost old enough to remain in the house unsupervised.  At the last minute, I find a woman whom I know very well.  I ask her if it would be possible for her to care for the child during the night.  She agrees.  I then ask my son whether he is aware of the many spirits that visit the house nightly.  He says he has seen nothing.  I’m amazed that what is so apparent to me is unseen by others.  Regardless, I know the threat of distraction exists. 

 

The business trip turns out to be a one on one confrontation with the source of my distraction.  I must meet this entity head on.  No matter what I do I can’t seem to disarm this threat.  The distraction persists.  He pops up everywhere I go as an obstacle of my life long dream.  He is like a weed in my garden coming up every spring year after year.  As a last resort, I simply hold up my palm to him and graciously stop trying.  In relaxing the light flows through me and shrinks the entity.  I take advantage of this moment and gather my family and get in my car. Unfortunately, he resurfaces as my cousin inside my car.  In the end, I realize you can’t avoid it you must simply let go, accept it and bring it along with you.  It is a part of me.  It is my shadow.
