@raindrop shielding is something that I usually associate with being an empath and dealing with other people. Up to now, I have only had a couple of visions/dreams that have been really disturbing. Now that I am meditating every day, it is still mostly positive but there are occasionally things that I see that are disturbing/upsetting. I will try to be more mindful of setting an intention when starting my meditations to shield myself and only see things that serve the highest good. Thanks to everyone who weighed in! It is helpful to know how all of you deal with these things.
Just briefly, today’s meditation showed me someone being unwell and his family turning their backs on him when asked by staff for their assistance. Basically, there is no love there and they seemed indifferent to his plight. I just found it very sad, even for such an unpleasant person, to not have the love or caring of their family. The graphic nature of what was shown was the unpleasant part of the vision. I can definitely do without that kind of stuff! Shields up! Shields up!!!!
My reply is somewhat out of context to this topic, I apologize.
I wonder if your dream is a manifestation of an emerging trend where people of Asian descent are being bullied or ignored while in distress due to fear over the current virus. In reality, the absolute worst form of the same groupthink we're experiencing these days. We are, in the end, all human, all part of the same family.
@JackofHearts, I can see the parallels with what you were describing and it is an interesting idea. In this case in particular, it was very specific people that came up in the meditation. It is possible that it could mean both things and is well worth bearing in mind. Thanks for you input!
@baba I've been thinking about your incredible dream posted in the dream thread. It provides a picture of our world right now, when the U.S. Senate went rogue from democracy and handed power to a dark dictator. It is packed with messages and symbolism about the situation we find ourselves in. It’s your dream and has special messages for you personally, but it is also a transpersonal dream to help awaken the rest of us.
It reads like a Greek myth, like the scene in the movie, Pan’s Labyrinth, which takes place during the Nazi era when a little girl saves a child from the Nazis. The little girl has a task, so typical in myths about the Hero’s journey. She has to descend into the lair of a monster. Trump’s lewd and gluttony remark reminds of the monster.
The fact that you didn’t know at first that your “boss” was working for Trump is interesting
Much of the dream, including this part with the boss and crossing into Mexico, the handcuffs going on and off and the feeling that you needed to escape – all sounds like you were empathically living in the skin of all of those victimized by Trump and his enablers. Mostly it sounded like the horrific plight of immigrants at the southern border, but any immigrants or visitors from other countries could be experiencing this fear now.
You are the hero of this dream journey, which feels like a soul journey. And you are seeing what you (and all of us) are up against.
The dream also feels like a spirit initiation that was given to you because of your high vibrational work as a Seer. It is instruction from spirit guides and is worth further contemplation from you and from all of us.
They are not telling us we are doomed but they are telling us to take a good look at the situation we are ALL facing. They are also showing you and others that we are in a vehicle that while traveling through a dark terrain right now, is dedicated to the greening of our earth.
Teal is close to the color of the throat chakra (blue green). It is halfway between the heart and the third eye. It is where we emit messages from spirit to our Collective.
You are a messenger of spirit, Baba, and there are others here as well with you. We are dedicated to speaking out about the light, to lighting up the dark with our words.
The limo color is also the color of new growth. It reminds me of the greening of the earth, of friends of the earth. Of new life. And even the Green New Deal.
Interesting that you took a cushier back seat in the limo. There are many on the front lines fighting this dark world cult of Trump. Light workers work from many different places. Perhaps you’ve chosen at this time to sit on your cushion in the back of the situation and tell us what you see. You can do so much good that way and you already have.
In all the dream is an assessment of the depths of the darkness where we are at this moment but the color of the limo tells me that we are in the vehicle that will take us to healing. Inspite of handcuffs you are in a journey of healing and greening. But we must not underestimate how dark these people are and how low they will go to hold power.
@jeanne-mayelle Thank you for your interpretation. That gives me a lot to think about. It was interesting that I had the dream right before I woke up on Saturday and did not yet know what the outcome of the senate’s proceedings from the day before was. It felt like it was an important enough dream that I felt compelled to write it down and share it. The back seat position with the cushion may also be a metaphor for being connected to the US but also living at a distance away from the daily goings on there geographically. Thank you for your supportive and kind words. I will continue to think about what useful meanings the dream can provide.
As an aside and a question to those with more experience, what does one do with unpleasant visions that sometimes arise during meditations? I had a doozy of one related to the subject (person) of this thread and it was quite disturbing on a human level.
For me, I find sharing it with someone, whether in person, online or on the phone, helps dispel the disturbing aspects, and I make sure to ground myself before such sharing. You could put it over in the Dreams/Consciousness/Prophecy section as its own thread, perhaps with a disclaimer that it is disturbing, and let others decide if they want to receive what you're sharing or not.
I'm one of those people who would rather know something awful than to be left in the dark, but I understand the flip side of that. Know that if you decide to share it with us, I'll be there to catch you, no fear (and no judgment). Be sure to also put a disclaimer that this was a "dream" or "vision" and not coming from anyone or anything "in real life", so it's not misinterpreted as threatening against Individual No. 1.
A message for this darkness, and the light that will arise, in the spirit of tonight's meditation. Like Baba's dream, we can face this dark situation with open eyes and see more clearly a beautiful outcome:
"We were made to understand it would be
Terrible. Every small want, every niggling urge,
Every hate swollen to a kind of epic wind.
Livid, the land, and ravaged, like a rageful
Dream. The worst in us having taken over
And broken the rest utterly down.
A long age
Passed. When at last we knew how little
Would survive us—how little we had mended
Or built that was not now lost—something
Large and old awoke. And then our singing
Brought on a different manner of weather.
Then animals long believed gone crept down
From trees. We took new stock of one another.
We wept to be reminded of such color. -- An Old Story by Tracy K. Smith
The meditation group white light energy is VERY powerful and strong. Love to everyone.
Whoops I fell asleep! I’ll make it up tomorrow.
Me too. (Fell asleep and forgot). Will do it tomorrow at the beginning of Intuitive Way class!
I just would love to share something I found amazing about this meditation experience: My sister and I were comparing notes about our meditation experience, and we texted to each other virtually at the same time basically the same thing. She texted, "...Also felt some other beings who were pleased, like, "Now this is good & on the right track" kind of encouragement. And just pleased with us all." Meanwhile I was texting her: "The earth was all lit up in a powerful ball of white light with all of us in it, and extending out into the universe. I had the sense that beings from elsewhere were looking on, loving it, and joining in. Like they were really impressed it reached out and included them in its power."
My sister has been following this forum for a long time, and has joined in with meditations before, and although she has not posted yet, she's been here, following. She's the one who told me how great it was (is). It was so cool to do this with her and with all of you.
Jeanne, and all of you, THANK YOU!
Yes. Exactly. I laughed because I saw myself (merging into) as a very small round ball kind of extra terrestrial but the channeling energies were all about looking down at the beautiful green blue ball of our earthly planet. The languaging was high kind of childish sing song not necessarily heard more felt about terra and my/our connections and love being filled up and surrounding us. Lots of other beings mostly very tiny.
I usually see/feel angelic beings so the E.T. were a little zany bizarre but then that was my own energy all day today so I got entities of playfulness instead of spirit guides and angels but the rest was beautiful, intense, filled up and radiant light so strong I had to focus to not leave my body and go into the light kind of feeling.
Since yesterday afternoon, I have had the song "Sounds of Silence" in my head. The weird part is that it wasn't the Simon and Garfunkel version that I've loved for years. It was as I've never heard it before. It was an updated version of the cover that the band Disturbed did a few years ago with their music and lead vocals, but backed by what sounded like a children's choir. I went to find this remake, thinking maybe I'd heard it before and it didnt stick in my memory, but only could find the normal S&G version and the Disturbed cover but nothing with a choir involved. That's when I started actually processing the lyrics and realized that I was hearing an anthem of the youth rising up in today's world.
For those who do not know the song, here are the lyrics
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
Silence, like a cancer, grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells, of silence
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence
@mas1581, wow! I've always loved the song, but that gave me goosebumps. Felt like I was hearing it for the first time.
