Akashic Dreams of a Timeless Mind
67One of the most influential phrases of my life was "Grant me sight beyond sight." It was a notable quote from a character named Lionel; who played the leader position in a cartoon called "ThundarCats". This phrase played and replayed in my mind so often it nearly drove me; and some would say it actually did drive me mad. What does it mean? how does it work? and why do I want it so?". As a small child; these questions plagued the majority of my waking thoughts. But it wasn't until I saw "The Beast Master." that the phrase took on real meaning. The lead in that movie had the ability to "see" through the eyes of some companion animals he had. "That is it", I told myself; I want to see what others see, I want to know what others know, but not just other people, for their knowledge is too similar to that of my own. I want to see the world through the eyes of an eagle and feel the earth through the flesh of a worm; to breath the air of a fish and and taste the sun through the pedal of a rose. It is only then; I thought, that I will have the ability to know how things truly are. Only then will I experience "Sight beyond sight". Only then will I know what God knows. I told myself "I know it's possible", time and time again; but "how" was a question that drove me the the brink of reality and beyond.
The first thing I noticed was my dreams. You see, while in a dream state, you have experiences that can parallel what you have learned in a waking state, but the experience you gain is from participating in actions and events that did not happen in "real life". This idea intrigued me. There I was, in bed, not "doing" much of anything, just laying there, in a dark room with nothing else going on. But at the same time, I was experiencing events, sensations, and interactions that carried all of the lessons and experience that I would have accrued if I were actually participating in the events in "real life". There was also another interesting "feeling"; I noticed a distinct "Transitional" period as I "moved" from awake to asleep. It was a strange mental happenstance between being awake and asleep, there was a distinct point, or period of time; that I was not really "Controlling" my thoughts like I do when I was awake. But not really "Experiencing" them like I do when I was asleep. It came with it's own set of sensations and a strange focus that allowed for me to move one reality to the next. Upon observing this transitional state, it dawned on me, that the day to day life I was living was not the "end all be all" of what can be experienced, so naturally I became very interested in this new state of thought.
This was one of my first experiences with the idea of meditation. It was a realm of thought that can transcend the day to day lessons learned through the interactions I engaged in during the course of my day. And so it became; for me anyway, that "Bed time" was not a time for sleep, but it became a time for me to learn and explore the abilities of thought itself. I found that I was able to "travel" from one "world" to the next, from one "time" to the next, from one "reality" to the next. Needless to say, I was elated with my findings; for they confirmed my suspicions that it was actually possible to "See" the world through the eyes of an eagle, and "taste" the sun through the pedal of a rose. So night after night I laid there, sharpening my focus in anticipation of the experiences that were to come. "Where will I go tonight, I wonder?" and "What fascinations will I experience?" These were the thoughts I entertained every night as I was told to go to sleep. What a fascinating world I found; however, so inundated was I by the idea of traveling to new worlds, that very quickly, I seemed to become disinterested in the life I was living as a small child. "This is a problem" I told myself, but how to fix it became and idea that I studied extensively during my waking hours.
Very clearly do I remember the day that my waking world gained it's "color". It was very shortly after a "run in" with the law; in which the local town sheriff had brought me home because he clocked me going 67 in a 35, I was 9 years old on my bmx bike coming into town off the mountain pass so that I might purchase my "kiddie crack" concoction I was so fund of. Needless to say; the sheriff was non too impressed, my babysitter was confused, and I was distraught. After a short squabble in our living room, I ran to my room slamming the door, and entering my bathroom to start cleaning the road rash I obtained from trying to stop at that speed on a bike (well it was more from exiting the corner store that I got my "kiddie crack" from, the souls of my shoes and the phone booth were the responsible parties for relieving me of much of my momentum, but that is a story for another day).
I had happened to catch myself staring at myself in the mirror, when I did a strange focus hit me like a blast waive, but instead of pushing me away, it pulled me in. In that "focus" my entire world illuminated a radiance that is difficult to describe. I could "feel" the emotions of my babysitter on the other side of the wall, I could "see" the thoughts of the sheriff as he was explaining what had occurred. I watched as the rays of light bounced off the walls and around the room. Time itself seemed to be almost voluntary, and everything around me seem to have... almost a harmonious "Buzzing" or "Ringing" to them. Well, this new state of affairs was ineradicably over-whelming, and it was not long before I found myself laying on my side in a pool of my own blood due to my failure to properly dress the wounds I had accrued from the festivities experienced earlier in the day.
At first I was fearful of this new realm of thought, for the "power" that it held was... just too much for a small child like my self to bear. And to this day, I have never experienced it with as much... intensity as I did on that day. However, that is not to say that I have not experienced it at all. I have spent... well my entire life studying these "Realms" of thought that were exposed to me in my early child hood. Some call it "Psychic ability", others call it "Clairvoyance"; but for me, it is simply and answer to the question I get asked all the time. "How do you know what you know?". And after what would seem like a life time or more of study, all I have to do is "Focus" on the question asked of me, and the answer just "comes" to me; and if it is not a direct answer to the quarry, I am at least "told" where I might find the information.
Now I know this "Hub" is not on "Par" with my previous 2 writings, but I thought it important for me to give my readers some background as to what I am and how I conduct my studies. Like I have told many of you, my "education" is rather... unconventional. But I do what I can to enlighten thous who would seek my counsel. And like wise, I seek out the counsel and knowledge of thous who would speak the knowledge of the ages, for the ability is within us all. We are all of one mind, one soul, one being; and it is up to us to write the pages of life as they are found in the library of the akashic mind. For now, I bid thee Mystic Dreams and Blissful Awakening as we awaken thous who dare to dream the thoughts of the ages.

Glad to see another one of your writings Emrys. As difficult as it must have been attempting to "fit in" to a pre-packaged society, I'm very happy you were able to withstand the gravitational pull of the matter plane enough to keep your abilities. My own development came at a much slower pace, with times of little "quantum-leaps" along the way.
I've never quite been able to get that "Conscious Dreaming," thing down. But than, my path has been more about coming to peace with the ways of the world this time around. Nonetheless, I'm soooo ready for another leap.
I hope you have around you, those that can assist with "grounding" your awareness. If not, you can write to me directly if you like.
Nice job on the artwork, as always.

Awesome hub - I have had similar experiences and connections, established in slightly different manners, but that led to the same ultimate conclusion "I am one with the universal mind" .. I enjoyed reading your hub and I enjoy your perspective and experiences.
