I am one of those insomniacs who is easily disturbed with the slightest sound, movement or light, so I sleep with ear plugs and eye mask with the curtains completely drawn with blackout blinds velcro’d. to the wall .
Last few days I started sleeping with the curtains open and for the first time I realized how stunning the view is at dawn and how refreshing it is to wake up with the sunlight streaming in straight at you.
This morning. I had what I think was a lucid dream. Can’t say it was a pleasant dream. I saw my body disintegrating completely. The body died but I saw my thoughts, feelings, emotions, desires all taking some sort of form . All these forms. then disappeared into the cosmos, but before disappearing they found similar forms and joined together to become a huge figure like Aladdin’s genie. These then all vanished into a cacophony of colour and sound.
I woke up feeling a strange kind of peace and some deep insights.
Like many, I have been upset and disturbed due to the news of death and sickness all around, and have been feeling anxious. I guess I was fearing death and loss and in my dream I saw that although the physical body dies, our thoughts, emotions, desires, hopes and fears all remain and merge into the cosmos.
We are so tied to our physical bodies that the finality of death is unnerving. I am no stranger to death, as I lost both my parents at a very young age and have always feared losing people I love. The dream was probably my subconscious reminding me that nothing ever dies. We live in a cyclical universe and energy just changes form.
We as a collective are experiencing very difficult times. Maybe it is our collective conciousness that has brought us to this juncture! Maybe deep inside we wanted to slow down and rejuvenate. When any machinery breaks down it first needs to be shut down for repair to restart. Our planet is doing exactly that, it’s taking down time to heal.
Humans are gasping for air while the earth’s lungs are being cleaned. How and why did we allow this to happen? We who are supposedly the smartest species are being held hostage by the tiniest of organisms. Maybe the fact that we use the word viral with so much callousness and feel good when. things go viral should serve us as reminder that what we say, do, and expect may not always be in our best interest.
My dream showed me that whatever we think, say, do or believe stays in the cosmos and expands and creates the reality we experience.
We in Hongkong are experiencing glorious weather and things seem to be getting back to normal. Between the protests and the virus, life has been pretty difficult for many and the glorious weather is a wonderful treat.
It is also a reminder that nothing is permanent. The sun will set today and rise again tomorrow. The rains will come, the typhoons will come, nail biting winter will come and the cycle will repeat.
The only way to live is to live fully in the present and focus on what we want to create instead of what we wish to forget. We live in a vibrationally alive universe that moulds according to our thoughts and feelings.
We are all experiencing distressing times but in the grand scheme of things there is a correction happening. Let’s all of us use our ability to create the world we desire by changing our thoughts, feelings, desires and actions.
Nothing lasts for ever — this too shall pass ..
