You really don’t have to know anything about them to get their wisdom. Before going to sleep at night, ask a question to the universe. Keep doing it until you get an answer. Just be aware that the answer can come in many forms. For expert advice on spiritual guides, I suggest you contact Stephen Popiotek or DreamingBear Baraka Kanaan , both on Facebook.

Great article! I found myself quoting your directions throughout the read. It is refreshing and responsible. Responsible is a word that has often left me feeling irritated! What I mean in this case, is the lift one is encouraged to adopt as a life choice.

I will get to your Green Lantern notes next. Kinda remember it being more goobly stuff like 2012 the movie, which I consider entirely irresponsible. Okay. Enough ranting.

Thanks for the helpful, hand holding read!

So, putting it together, you are a rare spiritual person trapped in a material world where you aren’t quite comfortable. You have a special talent you aren’t fully utilizing because you are afraid of something that is prevent you from achieving it. You can continue living the life you are, and be quite comfortable, but never truly fulfilled.

The star coordinates are likely your soul traveling through the heavens as you sleep. Since you know you cannot fly in space, use these dreams as a gateway to lucid dreaming and you can ask questions in your dreams and get more specific answers.

The gigantic brown serpent can be so many things—the illusion of time, your beast to conquer, or even your fear of men.

Anyway, see if that makes any sense to you.

WHEREAS, MANY YEARS AGO I HAVE DREAMED OF A GIGANTIC BROWN SERPENT LOOMING FROM THE NORTH. I’VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. IF YOU COULD HELP MEI WOULD BE GRATEFUL.

Thanks so much for the info Gary! I vaguely recall hearing about that before. So intriguing how the Mayan knew about something from 10,500 BC, or would be able to predict its return. Makes me wonder if they had alien connections, had a better understanding of time travel, or were from another world or time themselves.

With this new information, I’d say that our Green Lantern with the long green tail he emits as he flies (see http://images.wikia.com/greenlantern/images/1/1f/Green-Lantern-color.jpg ) would be our mythological representation of the comet Macholz, just as Quetzalcoatl was for the Aztecs/Mayans.

Weird how we both posted about this around the same time. Guess we’re listening to the same frequency.

Good luck with your new book. Sounds very intriguing!

The “return of Quetzalcoatl” has been fulfilled by the return of the comet Machholz, a blue-green comet whose tail entered the Pleiades. The Pleiades were known as “the rattlesnake rattles” by the Maya. Thus this “sky serpent” or comet received its “rattles” when its tail entered the Pleiades. More importantly, a rattlesnake uses its rattles as a warning. What is this comet supposed to warn us about? The last time this comet came around was in 10,500 BC. The Earth’s last great mass extinction occurred at this time when the megafauna such as mastadons, woolly mammoths, etc went extinct. You can learn more about this here:

“David Price is reputedly the only known Chabad-Lubavitcher to fly for a major global airline, and his take on the volcanic ash that disrupted air travel recently is—it’s a sign from above not to take flight for granted. The 47-year-old veteran, Air France pilot says that the ash cloud was truly a marvel of God’s creation. Said Price, ‘I have no doubt that this is a sign from Heaven to teach us.’ As a senior level pilot and an observant Jew, he says he’s able to request a flying schedule that enables him to remain grounded during the Sabbath and major Jewish holidays.”

I found this awhile back but never got a chance to put it anywhere. Thought this article was a good place.

I’ve also been rethinking my encounters on “the train” lately with the homeless man and the handicapped man. What if that guy Harold Camping was onto something? Obviously, his predictions of rapture/judgment on May 21, 2011 didn’t come to pass (in this version of reality anyway). But perhaps a time of judgment is actually upon us, so to speak. Perhaps the homeless and handicapped men were angels or messengers testing me to see if I was ready for the next stage. Perhaps everyone should keep their eyes open for strange encounters and tests over the next few months and really make an effort to grow out of their comfort zones. You never know!

Also, since matter goes infinitely small, it makes sense that the new-agey concept that everything is within us is literally true.

Brilliantly insightful. Your thoughts, like your writing, continue to evolve. Thanks for sharing and helping to enlighten those who cross your path.

It got me thinking of this woman I work with. She has this unique gift of getting under people’s skin. For years I really couldn’t stand her, she irritated me beyond belief. She was so self-entitled and I couldn’t believe what she could get away with. It made me so angry, especially when I felt under-appreciated. I realized that she was relentless when she wanted something. She would needle managers and they would give in just so she would go away.

It then dawned on me that I wasn’t assertive enough! If I wanted my needs met I was going to have to get better at communicating that. As time has passed I have become much better at it and am that much happier for it. The funny thing is that the woman at work no longer bothers me. Yes, she has changed a bit as well, but I think it’s because I finally learned the lesson.

So whether I allow someone to effect me in a negative or positive way, I’ll now be questioning why this person is riding my train.

I agree that the object is about having the best dream possible. I’m not looking to escape as much as I’m looking for the cheat code so I can manipulate the adventure. Sucker Punch is REALLY about escaping, but if you noticed those elements of the other films, perhaps you are looking for a more fulfilling path than you are on now in some area of your life.

The video game sounds like Impossible Mission that I played as a kid that had a guy underground solving these puzzles so he could escape. The first season of Prison Break was good, it’s downhill after that. I know of Life on Mars—in fact, the way I thought LOST would end is actually more in line with the American version of that series. Supposedly, the British one is totally different.

And yes, the great white whale. What are you after Scott?

If you like the dream within a dream concept, I’d also recommend “The 13th Floor” and “eXistenZ.”

Thanks for reading and for you comment. If you like to copy and paste it as a comment on the blog, you are more than welcome!

My understanding is that we are all God getting to know itself. You create your reality as you need to experience it. In your world, I am the version you need to continue on your path. In my world, you are the version I need to continue on mine. Only in this exact moment will these exact two versions of us meet. Soon, there will be a different version of me for you, and a different version of you for me. And the current version of you will exist for another version of me. All of these realities already exist, and your mind simply leaps into the one you want to experience.

Reality TV has much to offer in the way of enlightenment–inspiration for shows like The Biggest Loser and American Idol. It’s not the medium that is the enemy. it depends on how it is viewed. They are simply tools.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Namaste,
Marc

As for the sign, nice catch! (Maybe you should’ve pulled it out of the garbage ha ha! Or at least put it in the recycle bin.) The more signs you notice, the more you’ll get.

Glad my writing was able to help!

Lots of Light,
Marc

I suppose you could include any kind of story telling media in the mix. After reading the first part of your blog I wrote a list of the recent entertainments I’ve been watching, reading, and playing. A brilliant computer game called “Portal 2″ in which you play a woman who wakes up from hibernation inside a massive underground facility and armed only with a handheld device that can zap a portal entrance and exit onto certain surfaces, and then pass back and forth through those portals. Your goal is to solve spacial puzzles in order to work your way to the surface and escape the facility. I’ve also been watching back episodes of PrisonBreak and a show called Life on Mars… a detective gets in a car accident and slips into a coma which somehow sends him back in time to 1971 where he receives messages over the radio from his own time where his body is still in a coma. He struggles to figure out why he’s in 1971 and how to get back into his body in 2010. And I’m 7 chapters into Herman Melville’s book, Moby Dick, which so far is the story of Ishmael escaping his depression by going out to sea. All of these stories are about escaping. All different media. I also saw the Adjustment Bureau and Limitless, both again about escape… Bureau is about escaping the control of outside to assert your own free will, and again Limitless is about escaping depression and aimlessness for a more meaningful and empowered life. Interestingly, they are both about waking up and taking control of life.

Of course my own life is influencing me to see these particular aspects of the stories. These stories are really about a lot of different things. I think my mind is picking up on the aspects it feels are most relevant, and that in itself is informative of my own life journey. Do I feel trapped in my own dream world? Am I fascinated by these stories because I want to glean from them the keys to escaping the dream? Or is it futile… If I escape this dream do I simply wake up into another dream (I saw Inception too . I guess if life is all a dream perhaps the goal is to turn it into the best dream possible.

Thanks for your post. Very thought provoking.
Cheers
Scott

Happy that I could serve as a reminder to what you’ve known all along!

Love and Light,
Marc
