I saw in a dream

July 06

A field with poles planted in circles. It was smaller circles and bigger circles, all within each other. The circles were there for people to walk in, continuing in the circular corridors created by the circles inside each other.

The circular movement, in different directions, around a centre, with the view to the centre rhythmically obstructed by objects, caused a state of meditation.

Then, I was walking in a corridor around a room with no corners and with various doors. Each door offers a different scenario and as I pause at each door, facing the centre, I choose: what I am; what I experience and what I respond to the choices of others in other doors. I reached a door that was named: dress-up and an infinite chest were opened and I could dress-up in any outfit of my choice.

While deciding on my choice of outfit, it struck me that there was a similarity between the poles in the field, the corridors, with the various doors, around the room with no corners and Stonehenge.

I woke up and consciously asked, what the relevance of all of this was and I saw that is was similar to how the planets revolved in the universe, with the exception that the planets move in three dimensions and the field, the room and Stonehenge move in two dimensions.

I imagined that, in a similar why, there should be greater movement in more than three dimensions, or less than two dimensions. All for the same purpose: the purpose of meditation . . .

to create a state of believe of the perception of time.

I knew that there was something to remember. I was searching for it, and I realised that if I can remember the beginning where it all started, that it would be the same place as the end.

I wanted desperately to remember the beginning but because I’ve been moving around in the circles, unconsciously, making unconscious decisions, it became more and more difficult to see.

I realised that I have to consciously go into meditation and through that, enter the circles – this would cause my conscious movement within the circles and enable me to observe consciously.

When I was conscious in the circles, I saw were the beginning was – it was at the start of motion.

I experienced for a split second how it was before the beginning – it was indescribable content. It was where there was only Entirety and everything was Entirety, the only thing that was impossible, was an experience of ‘other’. This is why Entirety devised a method to experience ‘other’.  Entirety created movement within itself, which created the ‘here’ and the ‘there’. This was the beginning of the other.

The other creates / chooses ‘separate’ from Entirety, effecting the experience of ‘other’

I understood that the end which is the same as the beginning is where the movement stops and there will again only be, ‘all-there-is’ – but have Entirety decided – do Entirety want it to stop yet?
