So many pathways,
so little time!
I think each of us who studied with Rama has our own pathway, and
particular gifts that dictates our personal apprenticeship. When I
sat with Rama, especially in the beginning I could see. The show was
out of this world, literally! But I am really not a very good seer.
My personal lifelong gift is dreaming.
A friend who has almost no interest or knowledge about life with Rama
asked me about dreaming. I told her she showed up in a lot of Rama
dreams. She asked my why? My response may help you understand dreaming.
"I think you needed to access something and you knew that dreaming
with Rama was the best place to go. Dreaming is a very powerful medium
for learning. I think it is one of the most efficient classrooms.
It is fast and fun, usually. The senses and conscious mind can't interfere
with the dream teachings. Rama can transfer blocks of awareness to
students. I personally wake up filled with incredible energy after
such a transfer, it is a signpost of a real Rama dream. Those blocks
of awareness are brought back to what we call our waking state. We
can access the awareness as we need to during our waking or dreaming
states. I like the dream plane, and often have vivid, detailed memories
of my dreams. Over the years I have kept a dream journal of Rama dreams,
or very intense lucid dreams. Does that help?"
I hope this helps anyone who might be looking for another forum for
"sitting" with Rama. He would obviously transmit the lines
and blocks or awareness during meditations--still does. Thought I
would write this for all you seers, stalkers, and monks who might
want to explore the dream world. Of course, if I could "will"
Rama dreams--each night would be a continuous play. I haven't been
able to do that, perhaps that is not proper etiquette, I don't know.
Since Rama's passing I have had a wonderful gift of dreams. Best of
luck as you become enlightened, and sweet, sweet dreams!
