Wisdom from Visions

[OtioseDodge]

Hi All!

I'm posting this because I want to share my story and I also want to see if anyone else here has had a similar experience.

Back in 2008, when I meditated intensively for the first time. For a period of six months, I meditated for an hour every day, and about halfway through this period, I was in a very deep state of meditation one night, and suddenly an image flashed up behind my closed eyes. It wasn't really in my "mind's eye"; it was more internal, like it floated up out of "nowhere". The image was a red candle burning with a soft glow, and filled me with a deep peace and well-being.

As I kept meditating, this started happening more often, and sometimes the images seemed random. But then I got an idea about how to interpret them. I had been interpreting my dreams for some time, and used the association technique (taking each element of the dream and seeing what the first thing was that popped up in my mind, to have a general message emerge). So I started doing the same thing with the images, and meaning started to emerge.

As the years went by, I started seeing the images any time my eyes were closed, and could even have dialogues with them. And the messages provided insights and affirmations. Sometimes they even made predictions. It's sort of like having an extremely wise person whom I can talk to about issues in my life. They've really become good friends! It's hard to feel lonely whenever they're around. Sometimes they tell me things which don't bear out, but I believe that they're more like an oracle; like Morpheus says in the Matrix, they tell me exactly what I need to hear, not necessarily what's true.

I thought I'd share this just because of the general joy it gives me, but also to see if there's anyone else out there who's had this experience.

Love and Light

The present worldly or material progress has not given true peace. The company of the wise will make you available or be open to a new possibility not linked to material progress. Do not be against material progress but thinking that taking refuge under material progress will give you joy is an expression of inner foolishness. This is the result of unwise thinking.

Listen to any prayer deeply; listen deeply to the words of wise masters. Please do not be deaf internally. Then you will never understand the miracle, which can change your life. That is why I have said, “Some of us think and many of us assume we think.”
