Do NOT Look Back

many years ago .....I did dream

the angels took hold of me by the arms
and off we ascended

I did look back

not out of regret or loss

I just wanted to watch the earth receed from sight

the dream ended that way

ooops

if such an event could be real......

would the angelic?.....let go
I'd need a common experience to comment on it. I've had flying dreams. In one dream I was carrying Mary Poppins carpet bag and flew over some mean barking dogs. Does that count?

So, every experience, even up to ALMOST arrival at the reward, is just a mean test for imperfect sentient beings...if you want the reward, you'd better not do ANYTHING that would suggest that you have a mind or any free will that needs be respected...

"Once upon a time, I, Chuang Tzu, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of following my fancies as a butterfly, and was unconscious of my individuality as a man. Suddenly, I awaked, and there I lay, myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man." - Chuang Tzu

it is written....
they who look back.....are not worthy to serve

I was on my way to better things


oooops
Id look back. But then again I am not one to serve or to submit to anyone but myself. Understanding and bettering oneself and searching constantly for knowledge is more important to me.

sounds to me like: "Act now! Supplies are limited. Operators are standing by..."
how would you like to BE an operator?
positions available

but recruitors choose......

seems you need to stand out in some way

I am still trying to understand the concept of selfdeification so I dont know. I am not sure. Left handed paths interest me tho...however I do honor some pagan deities.
