on DREAM

 And now, finally, we are entering the fairy tale: the magic enchanting layer of drifting dreams between the Matter of EARTH and the Spirit of the SKIES. Even Maitreya’s ever-pessimistic complaints seem to retreat in front of the philosophizing – wisdom-loving – soul and thought, religious search and artistic poetry… The clear separation from reality fills the workshop of the soul with the euphoria of hope, security, peace, bliss and quiet – which is, however, anytime prepared to turn into a storm of passion and inspiration, the thunder and lightning of opening horizons.

Though even such a powerful desire cannot break the shackles of the EARTHLY prison, still, our imagination pictures the World Nets as rainbow-colored and bright. On the whole, the young DREAM is associated more closely with the early morning or the dizziness of spring blossoms, with pure prayers or first love, in which the Moon diminishes and the many-rayed crowned Sun dominates...  

Оh DREAMS, are you but DREAMS?! Why are dreams so unlike reality? Have a look… Is the EARTHLY shore unfruitful, with low Cosmic Connectivity or a bad Karma? Are woefully impotent strangers from TARTARUS entering the world? Or else, is such an unfair, offensive proportion an a priori part of the Universe? But the second soul plane of DREAMS is visited much less frequently than the first, soulless one… See!...

A real danger of following my Travellers on their third trip into the World of the Spiritual SKIES arises – and the flock diminishes… Hence let us make haste and dream with open hearts (as long as the blue world is open to us): perhaps, about a Golden Age on our poor EARTH or Order being (finally!) established in the Primary Chaos;  or perhaps shall we dare to ask God himself to heat up Hell’s furnaces (be it even for Maitreya alone)? Oh, many will not forgive me stealing away the sadistic image of „sinners” from their image of faith…

Jokes can turn serious, though: the naively exultant zone of DREAMS is guilty of extremes and can transform, all at once and with the same extraordinary power, from a blissful Heaven to an inquisitorial camp! The reason is that burning Light (Light being the vibrating source of all deeds, the initiator of good and evil) unceasingly seeks activity as the opposite of the passive Dark which on EARTH has come to seem like the worst fiend…

In the domain of dreams (the Mystery plane), we see the creation of the Soul, Its way from Dark to Light. This process is accompanied by the arising and fixation of the internal cross-section (the separation of two World Essences), in which the EARTH with its attraction will naturally appear as the antagonist, the negative. But opposites attract each other, becoming one, and in the twilight Worlds of EROS we unwillingly return to this mysterious theme, and suddenly the Spirit seeks Darkness, and Light appears as a seductive challenge…

At the end of this section it remains to say that we have, quite unobtrusively, connected planes and thus created a Babylonian tower without any trace of punishment and destruction Most of all, we have found the unavoidable Black Hole behind the Luminary in the Pentagram Wheel, and, I believe, have made peace between the conflicting Essences… And if suddenly the great and „fiendish” Dark morphs into a horned figure, its horns might frighten the World but not our Traveller – not in the least!
