"The deceit is in the mantra", a foretelling dream

[erik]

Currently I am fighting desires and impulses, things that I wanna do that come like a thief in the night as an impulse or sudden desire, in this way I create for myself the virtue of patience and letting things go, I think more as well about things. Anyway, I had so much attacks of deep rooted anger yesterday night (I couldn't sleep because of the angry fantasies), that I decided to chant Hare Krishna for a few days and let the intense pranayama and meditation for was it is. I woke up with this dream at around 12.30pm on June 5th 2011, so yesterday: "I was standing on top of a hill in the city, the hill was made of earth and street tiles. Somebody pointed at a Celtic Holy Shrine down the hill, it was a grave. I saw it and walked downstairs. I admired the grave, it was a skeleton what was overshadowed by a Tomb of Holy Stone (could be a name for a song, as I think of it now). I got myself a bone from the leg and put it back again. Then I sat down next to the Holy Shrine and had my beadbag with me. I started to chant Hare Krishna and then Fred van der Padt and Jaap Versteeg passed by, they are old friends of mine from my youth in Rotterdam. I shake hands with Fred and my beadbag hangs on my hand, he sees it and I am ashamed by it a bit. They walk away and I see that there is not too much plants on the crossing of the road next to the grave and the sidewalk, people could easily see me. Then I typ the following word as a Facebook comment in the air, it says : "Attack". I wake up with the lyrics of my own song : "The Prophecy", which goes like this : "But the fight mentioned in the prophecy, is a fight I win win I will knock out the demons by breaking their chin" *So I was prepared to counteract my desires of today. Nothing special happened until around 10.30pm, when I decided to chant Hare Krishna, but needed to take a piss before that and in the toilet I thought back to the dream and understood it !!! The deceit would appear in the mantra, because I knew that old friends were always symbolizing trouble towards me and Fred and Jaap passed by when I chanted the mantra in the dream !! And the dream was clear, it warned me for an attack in the end, so I vowed not to execute any desire I would get while chanting the mantra. And yes, pretty soon, one desire cropped up, it was a memory of 2002, which I would normally have posted. I continued chanting and another desire cropped up, a desire to go earlier to Rotterdam than this Friday, so I could blow off some steam by smoking some weed. I recognized the deceit, the third desire was cool, I got the desire to stop chanting and to watch a Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Goblin of Fire, so I did, it was too long, 2 and a half hour, so I stopped at 1 and a half hour, I had seen it anyway a while ago. Now this is what I call protection coming from a dream. I say deceit, because for me, sudden desires and impulses which I follow are not healthy since 2002, therefore I try to counteract them. Anyway, this is a kinda Harry Potter magick thing, ain't it ? The dream which warned me and then it happens in reality, love it !!!

I guess that skeptics would call that a self-fulfilling prophecy rather than a premonition, since both the prediction and the desire came out of your mind. But I think that events spring from the same place that the premonitions and the desires come from anyway. So that point isn't very important unless the purpose of the experience was to convince skeptics, which it wasn't. So anyway, thanks for sharing your thought and your positive experience

So anyway, thanks for sharing your thought and your positive experience I don't really understand the point about the mind, everything what happens on the material plane comes out of the mind since the mind is material as well, although subtle, but material. So these sceptics might say that it was just the mind, but everything we think, we feel, we say and we do is stored in the Akashic Chronicles, it contains both future and past. In that way we can conclude that everything comes from there as well, also premonitions like the dream I had. I wouldn't know what would have happened if I hadn't the dream as a dream foretelling the events that happened in the mantra. I guess the dream was a reminder for me, some kind of guide to let go of my desires yesterday. Thankx for your reply

Forgot to tell that the mind is not you, we are soul and we have taken on a mind and body to experience the material, temporary world. But still one question that makes me think each and every time........if past, future and present are already known and are fixed in some etheric space like the Akashic Chronicles, then, after the annihilation of the material universes (everything material is temporary, so subjected to creation and destruction), then, when the material universe is created again, do we have the same life thread again or do we, as souls, take on different minds and play different roles ?? Sometimes you have these deja vu's, in which you know what will come next like you have experienced it before and already. It seems that we, after our karma is exhausted and we go back to the Kingdom of God to enjoy eternity, we come back to the material world to lead the same life thread again, so we experience all of our lives again, we were minerals, plants, animals , humans and angels (or demons) and we will do it all over again. Or is it just a trick of the past and future and do we really enjoy eternity after we have finished our lives on earth or any other planet or realm ?

Why do you chant Hare Krinshna? Just wondering.

I chant Hare Krishna since 1997, I got a spiritual blessing when I first chanted this mantra, so I kept on sticking to this mantra, but I chanted a few other mantra's as well in due time, like Om Namah Shiva, Om Sri Morrigan Namaha, Om Thor Namaha, I'm pagan as hell, but one way or other I keep on coming back to Hare Krishna. I've been in the Hare Krishna movement for 4 and a half year and, although I am not living in their temples anymore, I keep on following their rules and regulations, one of them is being celibate, the spiritual energies are mindblowing, therefore I keep on sticking to this.
