IcerocketWhen I awoke the first thought was that I had just confronted the devil in my dream. I remember walking down a street in an above average suburban neighborhood when I started to hear a hooplah from a vehicle that was driving my direction. A poorly painted, rusty vintage 1950's creep mobile rolled up and stopped on the side walk, I looked into the service window on the side of the vehicle and some transparently white male with clown red, sheet metal hair straight down to his chest, his smile was red lipped and irregular. He sat in the back right corner of the truck, where it was darker, next to the dirty cooler. As soon as I saw his eyes I knew it was him, those beady black spheres that only see in. I thought to myself "that is the devil" he asked "how's the chaos going? Playing music, that's cool." I smiled at him completely unafraid and simply said "yea" and gave him a corny wink and a finger pistol gesture chuckling "I know who you are" and turned away from him laughing. I walked into a house as he tried to get my attention shouting over the PA system, I walked into the house and closed the door. He drove away from the house babbling through the loud speaker and I just laughed at his humiliation as he failed to tempt me successfully.
After analyzing the content and context of the dream, I withhold no supertstition on the matter, the reptillian, base metal, cold hearted catalyst for growth that the lonely devil represents. Triumph over Typhon, bipedal crocodiles, the mayhem of animal manifestion scrambling through a marble game whirled by demiurgus puppet play and one light, the eternal trickery of many from some, the proper balance of just enough space to chase infinity. Minds mysteriously condense into sense through beatifully foolish time spent in the artcade of life, playing ego games, learning ego names dancing in the physical, experiencing so efficiently what time has to offer. Initiated through the eventual spinning of fates loom. The web is as vast as never could be, for ever present gifts are given and plenty of tempting tests. Developement through falling into the drama of seperate karma. Peoples power is sweet and sour, energy to revolve now futures into past mysteries. Reality is going to take care of itself, it's been doing it forever, the assimilation of aware wanderers defying evil. The few trying to harnass the plunders of matter for power however stronger their greed grows, the seed glows, money burns up slow, except when the Sun puts on a show.
Dancing through eternity,
So mote it be.

He is well known.

There are numerous examples of him throughout history. It seems he delights in the suffering of others. Myself I do not believe he is the devil but he certainly is on the devils team, so to speak. He is perhaps a demon, a dark entity.
It is perhaps best to avoid such darkness's. Seek the shadows and you may fall into darkness. It is ill advised to dance with the devil. Turn to the light.

or entertain these illusions you cite. For belief in them is foolish superstition. They are fabrications of lower nature desires that manifest in mental landscapes as things trying to be frightening. I was not scared, I was not ignorant of the circumstance. I am well aware of what these condensations of misguided animal power represent and am entirely unafraid for they are powerless to me. For you to attribute any likeness to what I am using the common (satirically of course) name for (the devil) is silly to me. This was not some externally intruding shadow being from some biblical text that is trying to haunt me, maybe you could consider lightening up yourself a bit before you assume I am dancing with (insert name for carnal self motivations here)
It is apperant in my dream that I used laughter and light hearted smiles to defeat this archetypal trickster of animal temptation. I have openly and internally sided with the light, not the darkness, or the false light of "lucifer", but the true light of Love. This dream for me is a testament that even the darkest of dream schemers can be beaten with love and willpower.
try not to fall off the precipice of reason into the trickery of focusing any energy towards obviously non existent, entirely make believe shadow creatures.

Dreams are a manifestation of the subconscious mind. Perhaps your subconscious mind sees you better then you do. Perhaps your dream was about the things your repressing.
perhaps

perhaps the words you say are ego projections reflecting your own inner darkness that you may be ignoring. I am not afraid of what my mind withholds, for fear is irrational.
"perhaps your subconscious mind sees you better than you do"
I agree, I have been battling temptations and trying to take control of right thought, right action and right emotion with zealous intent of late in waking life. My dream was an example of how even in a situation that would send most into the paralysis of meeting the darkest corner of their consciousness, I kept my wits about me and without prejudice treated that aspect of myself as it should be treated. By giving it no power over me.
Remember, we are ambiguous beings, our ambitions are the darkest motivations of the ego, our choice to serve others and not succumb to our animal desires is the lighter side. To not conquer the latter makes the further superficial at best. Most of us are in a constant inward struggle between what keeps us alive (animal), and what allows us to live fully (spirit).
Thank you for bringing your take on truth into this, I appreciate your attempt, but your biases and assumptions have clouded the message and have made me wish we could discuss this in person rather than through text. I wish you best of luck on your journey through the unknown and apologize if I offended you at all.

All I've done is present two point you might wish to consider. After year of chronic pain (true suffering, by-the-way, not the illusionary kind) when I did little dreaming if any the condition has lessened and I am dreaming again. Guess what strikes me the most about it? That most dreams present issues I do not wish to face or issue I'm unconsciously unaware of. I do not believe that is a consequence. My mind wants me to look at these things. Why it does I'm not sure. It just does.
For most of my younger life I walked a dual track on the one hand I was "normal" so to speak, like you, doing and being the things most had trained me to be and wanted me to be. On the other hand I believed in some distant way that there was more to this world then met the eye. If I asked a 1000 people if they believed there was more to the world then the obvious, I feel confident, nearly all of them would say, yes. There is real truth in that example and to ignore it is denial. Among the 999 there are multiple pathway to self awareness. I have several. The problem was I did not believe my beliefs would actually work. I was too well trained in being worldly to believe what i sought. Then one day it began to work and a whole new world appeared in bits and pieces. So I'm far more open to spiritual ideas and believes then ever before. I other words I was like you in thought and now I realize that was in some ways very backward and was trapped in a form of ignorance. Of course you will not agree nor do I expect you to because I would not have if some one said the same thing to me years ago. I remember how I was. I'm still a rational man but far more open to the spiritual today.
For instance I see your signing your post Namaste. Well Namaste, it appears your speaking to an enlightened human so you better listen up. LOL
The Buddhist have fallen into a form of intellectual pride based in the pride of intellectual and logical philosophy, a trap that blocks there way. Enlightenment is a spiritual event and must be excepted as such. Nor was Buddhism ever intend to be escapism. You will still need to live your life as a human. I have experience two forms of enlightenment. I have seen the light and felt the divine peace. I say so to let you know whom your speaking to. :)
Do I really need to have lotuses appear beneath my foot steps or put a million images of myself in the sky to convince you? Instead I wish for all a moment of peace. A very special form of peace. :)
For you individually it is time you woke up!
WAKE UP!
I need not be in the room with you, just to be conscience of you is enough. :)
Now you can reject all this as well. LOL
I have a koan for you

Does one whom choose his suffering,
truly suffer?
What would He know of suffering?
I see where you are coming from

and admire your personal conviction of enlightenment. But to undermine another who is blatantly (and obviously) playing a character for the purpose of example and exploration of consciousness seems unsettling. You are comparing me to you, which is all well and good from your end, but is entirely meaningless to me in the sense that I know nothing of you beyond a thin veil of internet identity. I try not to claim to be enlightened, never have claimed to be buddhist, use namaste as a means to show my recognition and respect for all the brilliantly divine fools who dwell on this magnificent plane side by side and by no means need someone demanding I wake up.
I hope you can understand my reasoning, for claiming a state of enlightenment or hieghtened spiritual awareness is voided by the simple action of claiming it. I continue to study, I continue to observe and experience, my "awakening" will occur when time has deemed it right, not before or after. I am very aware of the illusory identity I have made both on the web and in real life. I have submitted to the wills of whatever the Light directs, and for whatever endeavors I have followed in temporal existence that where not in line with the light I will gladly take personally administered punishment for.
The only time I suffer is when I know I caused suffering in another. I laugh and smile when I suffer because I understand it is a blessing to feel anything at all. I appreciate your energy toward me and how badly you want my potential to be reached. Though please understand that is the reason for this pen named character I temporarily talk through. So take what ignorance I express with a grain of salt, for it is the act of foolishness that will teach how not to be.
The best example of what discipline can do is to exploit what the undisciplined can't. I have Love in my heart and a temple in my mind like everyone else, and why wake up when there are plenty of dreams to follow?

I'm going to drop this
— Jan 27, 2012
I'm going to drop this discussion after this comment. It's not a command, it's a gift. A gift for you. Sometimes it takes a little jolt to get one's attention. :)
Peace.
(edit) That bit about me being you is simply a statement that we use common sense and through it share certain experiences. (Oh shit, I made another comment didn't I? See, no one has to be perfect, no one nor can they be. Buddha was human and even Jesus was only partly a God.) Just me honest with others and perhaps more importantly, be honest this yourself then take the next right action and you'll be OK.
thanks friend

maybe one day my foolish ass will listen to your wisdom.
