Dear Howetzer,
Yes, I’m glad you brought me in, since you have presented with some very interesting dreams. You DO have a Spiritual Sponsor, as was demonstrated by the ceiling vanishing and yourself suddenly being able to see the stars. That is a famous kind of Visionary Miracle that goes way back in the history of sainthood. Typically it occurs during Visitations of Our Lady – She likes the open air and will make the buildings disappear during her interviews. I myself was once presented with such a display. I was in the Astral Cave of Prayer, where I think Elijah presides, and where it is very dark except for all the candles. But there is little reflected light since the cave walls and ceiling have become dark with centuries of sot. Well, Elijah pointed upward and said “Behold, the Principalities of the Sky vie for your Soul”, and the Cave no longer had a roof but I could see the sky full of dragons engaged in aerial combat. In you own dream, there was a clarity and an opening to the stars. This supports the notion of Spiritual Initiation and Invitation. It was a good thing.
Then we have the arrival of The Goddess, but your subjectivity put Her into some fairly severe limitations. She was a Customer – an ‘if’-fy status, since it could imply both the sense of service, or suggest the more negative connotation of exploitation. But, in either case, the focus soon became sexual.
Again I am reminded of one of my earlier dreams, the first in which I was confronted with the Goddess Oracle Archetype. After having had presented to me earlier in the Dream some spiritual gifts passed on from a deceased Grandfather, She appeared halfway up a very steep mountain, that ascended in tiers. Suddenly I was there, She on one step above me. She told me “Remember, Only those at the bottom cannot go to the Top”. It was not explicitly said, but I understood that She was speaking of sexual obsession.
Sexuality is the Veil which prevents us from connecting to the Goddess Oracle at any of the higher spiritual levels. Now, it is easy for Old Men to get by such a Veil, since our habits of Sexuality have somewhat relaxed. But for young men, it seems the last thing they would do is to look a woman in the eye and simply engage in conversation. Actually, you should try it. At a certain level it seems more intimate and affectionate than sex. There is handholding, laughter and even some degree of flirting, all while spiritual messages are being passed. The only restriction is that one should stay away from the ‘bottom’.
Now, about the Red Castle. This is a Good News Bad News situation. The Good News is that this is a very spiritual Castle. This is a representation of your Spiritual Self – your potential. It declares your Knighthood. The Bad News is that you are on the lower floors. The Base Chakra, the Muladhara, is red. It’s a good Chakra to have open, since it supplies the heat, if not the light, which supplies energy which is transmuted to light by the higher chakras. But it is not a good place for one’s consciousness to reside. Notice that dream would not allow you to awake. This signals that you will not die until you have been able to transcend this Red Level. If the Dream reoccurs, and you should suggest to yourself that it should, then look for a Spiral Staircase. It should be centrally located at the back of the Castle. If you find two, then take the one that is Blue.
Now for the grizzly dream about your Family being tortured. It is odd and people are puzzled that Suffering is so much appreciated in the Spiritual Realms. Did you see the film “Constantine” and do your remember the Angel Gabriel’s speech as he justifies the holocaust he would initiate… it goes something like this… “You (people) are so much like animals. Pleasure and reward have no lasting effect. But Pain… Pain is the language you best understand. Pain inspires you. I have watched you over the years. Only as your cities burn do you rush to save each other. Only when the threat of blood runs crimson in your streets and your families are threatened do you turn your faces to God. Only in the face of horror do you find your Nobler Selves. And you can be so Noble. So I will bring you Pain. I will bring you horror. So that those of you who survive this reign of Hell on Earth will be worthy of God’s Love.” Yes, on the theoretical side, Suffering is counted as penance. Suffering is counted as the Influence most likely to ripen the Soul for Spirituality. It is Suffering which is seen as being the Threshold to Spiritual Initiation. Suffering is the Accepted Sacrifice.
This Dream of yours indicates that your Family, your Tree, has paid its dues and has been prepared. This Dream you were able to wake up from. The Pain does not have to continue. There is a famous exchange that Christ has had with numerous Saints in the Catholic Church, and so far everybody but myself has largely misunderstood it. You see, Christ, for the last 7 or 8 hundred years has been coming to Saints, perhaps starting with Saint Francis, and He has been asking them, “Do you desire my Suffering or do you desire my Glory”. So far every bonehead Saint has been a dutiful Catholic, remembering the Crucifixion, and they have answered “Your Suffering Lord”. But, My God, those idiots! Did they think what they were saying!? The Messiah came and all of the Prophecies had been for Glory. The Crucifixion represented the Victory of Worldliness, and the Triumph of Satan over what could have been, what should have been the Messianic Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. The World had chosen Suffering for its Messiah, instead of allowing Him Glory. And these Saints repeat the mistake over and over again. And what do they get? They are the Stigmatics. Christ says “Okay, but you too”. These Saints are then struck down with the Five Wounds of the Crucifixion which they must suffer the rest of their lives. And miraculously, they can neither eat or drink, not without vomiting, since Christ was not allowed to eat or drink the day of His Passion. And they go on for years, bleeding from wound which never become infected and while not being able to eat or drink. But, yes, they get the Suffering that they would wish upon the Messiah.
But it doesn’t have to be like that. One need only concede to the Messiah His Glory. And what is that? One only needs to renounce the Pride of Lucifer. It is common for men to admire the Conquerors of the World, the Winners, those who have amassed great wealth and power. Those who have victimized Societies in order to make themselves great. They have challenged God. One give Glory to Christ – The Life of All Things (if one considers ‘Christ’ as a Spiritual Status instead of being a simple Person) – by seeing The Community of Life as the Primary Unit. The Self is renounced, or rather, the focus on the Self is renounced, and one’s Love and Concern are focused on The Community which would become The Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
