today i dreamt
that i was dancing in a circle
while holding hands with other girls
we were dressed indian style
i was wearing a yellow-orange fabric
and saw myself with bindi on forehead
there was a nice music behind
very eeric
the girls were singing in circle
the mantra ham
while they started turning clockwise
so i broke from their circle
and started to chant it
while ascending the staircase
and there
the spirit was embodied
in the form of Imam Ali
as was told
i could not see his face
was full of white light
and he had a white piece clothe
as garment
topping a green one
so i chanted while ascending
the little staircase remaining
3 or 4 steps
and i joined him on the stage
where he was standing and waiting for me:)
and i was told
that i broke from the circle
because the problem was that
they were rotating clockwise while chanting the mantra
so there was a misuse of mantra:
when you rotate clockwise
from the vertical point of view
you force the "upper" pure and divine energy
to go "down"
see physical law of the screw principle
so as i sensed it
i departed
and i was greeted by the true spirit
indeed
rotating clockwise lower the divine energy
this is why all sufi dances
eg the dervish
are dancing counter clockwise
even the muslim turn counter clockwise
around the kaaba
same for the amerindian and their traditional dance
counter clockwise
for they do NOT force the Above
counter clockwise
allows the energy from the Earth to arise
up to the legs
and does NOT force the "upper" energy to descend ...
that is respect towards the upper energy
you don't lower it
to serve you
but you raise yourself to IT
to serve it
ie your serving
is to know you are
and so are the others
the Pure Spirit within
and this is the meaning of Ham in hindi
"know thyself"
so i was chanting it while ascending
and broke from the circle
when i perceived it was being chanted
against the spiritual movement
and it makes sense
to know thyself
is to know you are the pure spirit
so you "merge with it"
by rising UP
and NOT by bringing it down
to your level...
and was said
that using mantra
to try to use Shakti
and refusing emptiness in meditation
all of this served not
the true purpose
that the pure spirit welcomes
so the problem
is that they "force" it
they force it by the use of mantra
the divine to come down
instead of raising themselves up to it
by cultivating their emptiness
and abiding into it
so cultivate the emptiness as much as you can
and abide with it...
meditation is everything you need
to be One with the Spirit.
Truly.
