The danger for Dreamers is becoming lost in fantasy.
If you don’t understand that, you don’t understand the dream world. The dream world is the astral: emotion-generated images.
You see a photo of a frog in a book - that night you dream of a frog talking fabulous things to you. That’s how the dream world works. It picks up fragments of items from your known world and mixes them in constantly changing patterns. But one thing that is forgotten by Dreamers - the dream world is endless. An endless arrangement of images and dramas. The true task for aspirants of any type, is *through* the dream world, not aimlessly wandering in it.
Dreamers become lost by believing the dream world is real. Believing it is telling them truths that will guide them. That is not where truth comes from. If you remember one thing, remember that it is we who carry truth into the dream world - never, that the dream world teaches us truth. Truth is in us, or it is nowhere. The big question is how we acquire that truth in the first place.
Dreamers fall for the belief that their dreams validate things, people or directions. Dreams reflect - that is all. The items you see in a dream are your own reflection. They validate nothing! If you see someone you are engaged with in a dream - hello?! That’s what everyone does in dreams. It means nothing, and is in no way a guidance to decisions about that person.
I am not saying real forces do not exist in the dream world - that you can’t contact those forces. But if your stories of dreams are all about ‘items’, you are contacting nothing, except perhaps those forces which want to manipulate you for their own designs.
The dream world is fantasy. Lucid or non-lucid dreams, the dream unfolding before you is fantasy. If you dream you struggle to reach a mountain top, or you dream you struggle to extricate yourself from a trap - the mountain top and the trap are fantasies. Your struggle is real. Both dreams are the same - the items are irrelevant.
Dreamers become lost because they forget their dreams are fantasy. They become fixated by the intricacies of their dreaming, and believe they have found something of inestimable value. Then they make endless itineraries of the most bizarre facts and features revealed to them, and become obsessed by these fantastic items and patterns.
The danger for Dreamers is to become seduced by the dream world. They believe this to be the only truth in their lives. They shift their energy away from the physical world and construct great spiritual schemas that self-justifies their imbalance. Soon they become disconnected from the common physical world. Then they become sick. Eventually they die believing their fantasy world will save them.
Dreamers become insane, unless they either belong to a balanced group, or they strive for balance in themselves. That means becoming successful in the physical-social world. Beware the mystic who has failed in society.
The Buddhists say, if you meet the Buddha in a dream - kill him. Why? Because this is not the Buddha you meet. It is your construct. Freedom lies outside constructs, so kill the Buddha - it came out of you and is blocking your path. If you meet Jesus - kill him. If you meet don Juan - it’s not don Juan, it’s all you have ever absorbed about don Juan and is pure ****. It stands for one thing - you have focused sufficiently upon some image, that your subconscious has thrown up a sockpuppet in front of you. It demonstrates don Juan has become a sufficiently important image in your life, that’s all. At best, he is a symbol of your spiritual quest. At worst he is a sockpuppet of a manipulating force active in your subconscious.
Toltec Forums
Like followers of the Order of the Golden Dawn years ago, the Toltec forums of recent years have become a magnet for half-crazed people. And like the Golden Dawn advocates, these Toltec idiots are not just harmless fools. They can seriously derail the aspirations of genuine seekers of truth. They do this in the same way they themselves became side-tracked from their own path. They dazzle with glitter, and they entangle with intrigue.
There are people out there in these forums who **** on about how they have met and are taught by don Juan, by Death Defiers, by eagles and inorganic beings, by ancient shamans and frogs. How can you tell these people are victims of the Dreamer’s Demise? Simple. Are they telling endless strings of weird and wonderful ‘items’ from their dreams? Are they conducting rivalries with other charlatan gurus? Do they put out vibes of being scary powerful shamans? Do they rave on about fantastic encounters that prove how fantastic they are? Do they crow about their prowess at dreaming and stalking?
This boils down to two things:
1. They are obsessed with spirit-conspiracy and trivia. They **** on about all kinds of fantasy knowledge they have been told of all the spookiest characters from Castaneda’s books.
2. They are on an ego-fantasy trip.
Those who have made real progress on the path do not indulge in sensationalism. They know the true path is long, and only gradual and painstaking effort can bring wealth to the soul. They are sober, and don’t substitute entertainment for knowledge. They know it is in *how* we do things that real progress is made - not what we do or what we see. It is the deepest of feelings that matter, not excitement.
The Double Loop.
Speaking precisely, this is called the Recursive Loop, but Double Loop will do just fine. This is the real danger for Dreamers and for unwittingly absorbing the energy of those who have been caught in this trap. This is what really scars the soul and causes us to divert from the true path for a very long time - way beyond this life.
There are forces out there. They live in the subconscious of individuals, groups, movements, nations and species. The Double Loop is when we are tricked into looping back and referencing ourselves again in the next loop. When the Wood Cutting industry calls itself the Forest Protection industry, they are in a Double Loop. These forces have a vested interest in making us act in loops - keeping us trapped in prison loops where we can never escape to purse our true purpose in life. The use a special trick to do this. They tell us we are fighting against our worst enemy - themselves. That’s how they hide, and that’s how they ensnare us.
They know we know there is an enemy to our freedom - it is indelibly written in our being. So they give us an enemy - this is the spirit-conspiracy. Some forces out there are blocking out true flight - they tell us that, and we believe them because in our souls we know it is true. Then the trick comes. They convince us to ensnare ourselves in their trap, by allowing them to possess us through the very belief in the enemy they offer us. Which is none other than themselves! This is so utterly clever and difficult to see, because we get caught in the complexity of externalising their self-reflection.
I know you don’t get it, so let me give you an example. These forces do not want us to free ourselves: to kill the Buddha, to see through the don Juan sockpuppet, to escape from the conceptual form-world. We are their slaves, and they suck us dry through our emotional commitment to the form-world - any form-world. Remember it is the energetic world they operate in, and our eyes are blind to that - they simply want us dancing to external tunes, uncovering our bellies to feed them as they fly past above us.
So we meet the one person they know we would trust - don Juan. It isn’t don Juan, it’s a mask, a puppet of these forces. This ‘don Juan’ then begins to reveal to us all kinds of incredible and conspiratorial pure bullshit, which we believe. And the big revelation don Juan tells us is that there are forces out there trying to entrap us. But hey! Don Juan knows how to save you from their trap! And we fall for it - hook, line and sunk. The Double Loop - caught by our own ego desires and entranced forever in our own self-image - which is their self-image. Just like everyone else in the world.
How do we know this don Juan is a sockpuppet? Because of the **** he tells us and shows us. None of it is real knowledge - none of it can be used by us to work effectually upon our deepest core - it’s all Fox News sensationalism to make us believe we are special. True knowledge does exactly the opposite - it strips us of any desire to be special.
The next time you see a conversation in any Toltec forum which has the “Ooooooo....” factor, jump out like you’ve just trodden on a snake.
If you belong to a Toltec forum that displays consistently any of the above seductions, leave immediately. You don’t realise the damage being done to your spirit. To fly free your spirit must be as clear and pure as a snowflake. Every minute you linger, absorbing the flavours of entrapment, your spirit is dying. It is not indestructible.
Wipe the dust from your shoes as you leave their door. Believe me - you are jeopardising something of value far beyond your comprehension.
Jump! little rabbit jump!
