Thread: The Good Astral Bishop

The next morning, after thinking of this dream for a bit, and how lucky I was to find that I have a new Ally, Sponsor and Friend in this Good Astral Bishop, it suddenly occurred to me that this was not the first time that I had been introduced to a Bishop in my Dreams. Here, note this dream from September 2001:

I had a Dream that I met with an Astral form of the Pope. I had just become lucid and noticed that the lucidity deepened as I breathed deeper and more rapidly. As has become usual, the Lucidity transported me to a new dream scene. A young girl of whom I had hardly taken any notice (who may have been the Blessed Virgin) spoke to me saying, AThis is the Pope. Before me was an extremely angular old man almost devoid of body fat and, yes, his features were suggestive of Pope John Paul II, but with none of the debilitation of old age or disease, while still being lean and looking very ascetic. I immediately dropped to my knees in reverence and respect, but the Pope instantly moved to deflect my gesture of homage by pretending to regard my action as I was stooping down as though I had only wanted to sit on the ground, so he simultaneously dropped to the ground with me and sat against a wall (and this is why I have come to believe that the Little Girl was actually the Blessed Virgin, because in Her presence he could not very well presume to take any honors or respects unto himself). When we were both seated the Pope said, 'When I am gone you should follow that man' and he pointed to a man in white papal robes and an abbreviated Pope's hat who had been walking up toward us, but still some distance off. His name was foreign to me C maybe beginning with a C and having two syllables and a 'ou' and another c. I asked if he was going to be the next Pope. The Pope replied that there would be an 8 to 2 vote and he would be shot and killed. The man was suddenly there among us (there was now a circle of people), and I almost began to cry, feeling sorry for this man'S tragic fate, but, apparently, the Pope thought that would be simply too awkward and so he acted quickly to change the mood. First, he gave me a tacit signal that this Man he alluded to did not know that he was going to die an untimely death, and so I should not let on what I knew as it would change nothing to make this man aware of his Fate but would then only put a dark cloud over his head. Next, he gestured for one of his assistants to hand him a 'spiritual vision kit' which he affected to have carelessly almost forgotten to award to me (why? To show it is not as important as I would subsequently treat it?), but he reached over and handed it to me with both hands and a slight bow of his head, as though to acknowledge that the moment was indeed important and solemn. And then he awarded another similar Kit to another man in the Circle. What can I say about these Kits? They were small square boxes and came with 12 jewels and a list of instructions. Nine standard jewels were to be installed, but then only one of the remaining three jewels was to be selected depending on which of the Three Spiritual Realms one wished to perceive.

So it is that I think that this new Good Astral Bishop is one and the same as that Man in the Pope Dream, the man I was to follow after the Pope ‘would be gone’. Well, Pope John Paul II has been ‘gone’ a year now, which would have provided plenty of time for this Good Bishop to have been assassinated by the dark elements within the Church. Indeed, the Red Rubies that this Good Astral Bishop wear may well symbolize the Blood of Martyrdom.

And it occurred to me that I recognized him. The regalia of his robes at first confused me – back in the Pope Dream of 2001 this Man wore simple white robes and hat, but now he was in robes of pale-violet-red trimmed in crimson, again with those rubies. But then and now the Man was thin and face long and rectangular, and a straight forehead.

One may wonder why I myself, as I am not the most perfectly orthodox Catholic, why I should receive such special patronage from this Good Astral Bishop. Well, he was assassinated by that same Church, so maybe he has a certain sense of sympathy for those who are not entirely happy with the Church.

Oh, and it is nice to see that Dreams are indeed continuous and not so arbitrary as some people believe. What we have here is a Dream Motif of two dreams separated by almost exactly five years to the day.

And, importantly for myself, I must wonder what the repercussions will be now that this new Spiritual Patron has shown himself. It may be the beginning of a new and important phase in my life.
