Journey Into the Underworld
INTO THE UNSEEN FORETOLD:
A JOURNEY INTO THE UNDERWORLD
*Place and time: Mobile, Al. (2002)*
Dreams can be
very thought provoking, sometimes they are symbolic, other times prophetic,
and yet there are all shades in between in this
strange region of the mind, everything from
nightmares to release dreams. Some say they've even seen themselves as being
in a totally different time-frame, women in corsets
sporting hoop skirts, men in top hats and overalls, with
strange looking ruffled undershirts.
If we have grown to understand them enough to know what they're about, then
how are we still dismissing them? No! Not every
dream we have is "just a dream", I honestly don’t believe that.
And, besides it really isn't much fun that way is it?
As I have said, when these dreams began they were of my great-grandmother to
whom I was favored as
being ‘the first great-grandchild’. She would often dress me up, taking me to
get my pictures made, while my mother was at work.
She would buy me things, and always seemed to have banana
Popsicles in her freezer for whenever I came to visit.
I have written in the ongoing 'Third Eye' tales these strange visits into her
state of being where she has shown me a place in
which she resides that is very beautiful. The shades of nature
and of the love and happiness everywhere we turned is just beyond
description. Everything around us seemed magnified
with beauty and glistened with life.
There were lots of children, children playing in fields, children swinging
from rope swings above rivers and then splashing in
streams with wild animals at their sides who seemed really to
be watching over them. Everywhere I turned there were lots of people
going about these important tasks; they all looked
so alive and vital, with more than enough strength and energy to
accomplish whatever they chose to do.
I remember the warm glow of life as expressed in her smile, wanting to stay,
and then with compassion as if she knew my thoughts
leading me onto other areas. I had many symbolic dreams in
this way.
She's shown me how to solve certain situations in my life through symbolism.
If I hadn't had those visions to go by I wouldn't
have tried to decipher them, further leading on to what she
was trying to convey.
I have seen other things (most recently) beyond that which is good; but do
they mean anything? I have seen what has been
referred to as a sort of underworld where demons and beasts roam freely
with menacing intentions! I've seen them gather into clusters or groups
contemplating which action to take to achieve the
greatest results. They are the reason for all these things which
keep us off balance. If only more people knew. Now, if this was real, I
know it to be true!
They can sneak in, then catching us in our most vulnerable moment can make the
whole atmosphere seemed bogged down with negativity.
They of course feed off adrenaline, which is good to note; (many people who've
studied demonology are not even aware of this) as to
why when they are around we don't seem to have all
that much energy, we feel drained. It is because of them! That is their energy
which is seeping through!
I can say that from time to time I am still taken off to these strange places,
some enchanting, some not so enchanting. That is
when you wake up having cold sweats!
What I am writing this for today is to see if anyone else has seen these
things they believe to be somehow real? Not to be
summed up as a vivid imagination, or dreams without meaning, I think
there may be something more to it.
I definitely believe in the idea of Heaven and possibly even a sort of
underworld as well, (well I think many). These are
the more recent, anyway just thought that I would share. –Take care-
