bear with me, the ideas may seem fragmented and un-realized but they may hopefully ignite the excitement they do in me.
-and tonight hopefully i will provide the unabridged version of all things considered.
but fore now, please regard the following story.
"The soul of a sleeper is supposed to wander away from his body and actually to visit the places, to see the persons, and to perform the acts of which he dreams. For example, when an Indian of Brazil or Guiana wakes up from a sound sleep, he is firmly convinced that his soul has really been away hunting, fishing, felling trees, or whatever else he has dreamed of doing, while all the time his body has been lying motionless in his hammock. A whole Bororo village has been thrown into a panic and nearly deserted because somebody had dreamed that he saw enemies stealthily approaching it. A Macusi Indian in weak health, who dreamed that his employer had made him haul the canoe up a series of difficult cataracts, bitterly reproached his master next morning for his want of consideration in thus making a poor invalid go out and toil during the night. The Indians of the Gran Chaco are often heard to relate the most incredible stories as things which they have themselves seen and heard; hence strangers who do not know them intimately say in their haste that these Indians are liars. In point of fact the Indians are firmly convinced of the truth of what they relate; for these wonderful adventures are simply their dreams, which they do not distinguish from waking realities" The Golden Bough pg 218
How is it, that through our dreams we are exposed to a world entirely unknown yet simultaneously familiar? Our dreams are, after all, our own creations. Yet within these creations manifest unlearned truths. I have often awoken from a dream with information, accurate information, on subjects I have never before studied. Who hasn't in their waking life encounter a new place, a new happening that was somehow familiar? Whether we say things like, "I've been here before, in a long forgotten dream" or the Keanue depleted "Whoa...dejavu" there is something unidentifiable, mystical mechanism at work, when we find ourselves attune to to an unlearned world, that is however remembered.
This siphoning of the unknown cistern of knowledge, flows daily. It is constantly nourishing and irrigating our present, from the archaic waters of the past. The source of these rivers, the headwaters of time may at a glance be an elusive apparition, but the consciousness of self as a tributary is entirely possible realization. We may drink of these waters, but we are of them, and into them we shall continuously flow.
Cambell, and Jung have access to this aquifer of archetypes, the fountainhead of myth...the collective unconscious. How shall I even begin? ...I will return.
What is most interesting to me, this the power of connection to this underworld of understanding. Limitless. The hollywoodization of these thematics has for some unveiled a great number of truths, for others it has merely done what Hollywood has always done. Blind us.
There is something very real, and very sacred even behind "Morpheus and Neo's Excellent Adventure"
Another surprising movie discovery was the Cohen Brothers (you really can't go wrong) movie Men Who Stare at Goats. It was fairly good humor and so forth, but until I saw and read some of the information lead up to the creation of this movie (that um, these happenings are real--people dropping goats with their minds...remote viewing) that I realized that this was yet another piece to the puzzled picture that ascribes our world, and its limitless nature.
For any of you that haven't been turned on to this, Remote Viewing is a practice of deep meditation that conjures accurate information about a place or object that the "viewer" has never seen, been near, had any training or prior information about, or even heard of. This is a program that has been multi million dollarly funded by the U.S. government as a military weapon. no joke.
a quote from one of the founders of this program on how it works is as follows, "During this process, the viewer becomes linked directly to the collective unconscious - also referred to as the Matrix. The process works whether the target is in the next room or on the other side of the world. This information can exist anywhere in time or at any point in the Universe, as mind exists outside of time and space."
I have endless oceans more to say about all of these things, but for the time being i just need to get them out there.
