Dream Journal
September 4, 2010
I was watching the edges of the dark wave of the satori as it overtook the lighter waves and saw that it was like black ink in water at the edges flowing into the lighter waves. It was like liquid darkness in this inky chaos pattern, very fluid in nature. And of course when I focused on it, it froze, and stopped moving altogether.
As the waves built up in the middle, they formed a slowly growing circle of dim light in the visual field before my inner eye, a gooey spot that, once I pushed through, revealed full visions. The first vision was that the two dimensional plane that the satori was playing on was a wall and the pooled light was a hole in the wall beyond which was a scene of a sunny Mediterranean village.
At another time I saw a pair of eyes forming beyond the pool of satori light. It occurred to me that this would usually be scary but I had the awareness that everything here was made of me, and thus there was no fear.
Liquid Light: The appearance of the light of Satori is very unusual. It’s like the aurora borealis at times, this shifting, moving light that has an overall flow, but sticks in places until it irons them out through repeated cycles. The erratic patterns it moves over begin to flow more and more smoothly, and the sticky places that prevent it from being a smooth circle gradually wash out. Here I see close up that both the light and dark have a liquid property, and that the dark is a wave as well, not just a blank canvas that the light plays over. The dark is an inky liquid that washes over the dim aurora light waves. Fascinating.
