| What a great story Erin and an absolutely lovely concept. Although I'm curious as to why you were ranked No. 10 and managed to fight your way to the top in place of all the rest One thought; as I was reading the post I got the impression that the spirits in your dream were more conscious beings rather then creations of your own mind. In other words this didn't read like a lucid dream, it read more like an astral projection. That's interesting. Perhaps there's more behind the experience you had then the realisation of love's unstoppable power. Last edited by Shaden : 02-19-2007 at 03:34 PM. |

| I loved this story. So uplifting and sweet. It reminded me of the climax of one of my favorite children's books, A Wrinkle in Time. I haven't thought of that one in ages. I'm going to reread it tonight!

| Shaden: Conscious beings in my dreams are definitely something I've been exploring for years. I'll write more about that soon. And no one was more suprised than me to make it all the way from 10 to 1. I didn't witness the battles between the others so I don't know how they fell.

Very timely entry... I was just discussing with a friend last night "dark energy". It's something neither of us have felt the need to protect from. In our reiki work, it's come up from other practitioners that they have to protect themselves from a person's dark energy... I've always felt like I don't need to protect myself; it will either affect me, or it won't. If it does, there's something inside me I needed to look at, to see why I would attract that into my life. I was telling her that's how I've believed, but I've never consciously talked to spirit guides/higher beings in my work, until I started reading Erin's blog and forum. I was saying now that I'm incorporating that (interesting word! incorporating) into what I'm doing, (learning how to do so) I wonder if that need to protect myself will come up. Time will tell.... |

| Erin, that was an amazing story! Have you met with that same guide again? It interests me if you have encounters with the same guides in your dreams again at another time. I have been trying lucid dreaming for a few months now, and it does help if I wake up and quickly go back to sleep (say sleeping in a bit later on a Saturday morning). I can remember where in the dream I left off, but I seem to "forget" in my dream that I can control things or that I could actually be conscious in them. Even if the dream is strange and I don't understand what any of it means it makes me feel good that I can actually remember parts of them. I will keep trying. for some reason though, if I am in a tough situation or if something scary starts happening I always remember to wake up immedeately. Some sort of panic comes over me and my eyes open. It seems so strange to me that I can actually remember to do that when I'm afraid, but not remember that I can try to do other things in my dreams. |

| Wow I nearly cried reading this. I can sense you left like a psychic image in the story, I can see it al, I can see the fights happening, can I ask Erin. Did it feel like you where connected with everything, when you channeled the love? Did it feel like you wore armour made of pure light?

| Akashic Librarian: Yes I felt like every molecule and atom of me was vibrating with pure love energy. It was intense and profoundly beautiful at the same time. Safe. I felt so safe. Like nothing in the universe or infinity could harm the real me. Siamesesilk: During those teen years that same guide was with me a lot. I think at the time I named him Jiminy but I am really not into the whole naming thing; it's just a human construct to understand specific energy signatures. Caren, I am sure that Good-1 fought Evil-1. Not sure about all the others.

| Thats amazing Erin, I have felt that feeling once, maybe twice before but not on the scale you describe.

| Other conscious beings as opposed to dream characters. Inside the dream is a microcosm of what I perceive as my own consciousness, not shared by others. We're just a ship in a bottle. Inside that bottle, you can perceive other beings. Like, fingers and a hand. To a finger, another finger seems like a different projection. But when you get down to it you realize you're all part of the same hand and not at all separate.

Erin, have you tried to use this at all in your waking life? It sounds like such great advice. I'm going to try to put it somehow into practice. Shouldn't take long to need to use it as we all seem to feel that hopelessness, fear and/or self-doubt more often than we'd like! |

| Sometimes I have felt something close to that level of love in my waking life. Usually it has been around Steve or my kids.

| That was awesome, Erin! And very well written. Did you ever have a sense that the top Evil was a part of you? See, in that case, we could all have that dream with the same results. I don't think evil is "out there," I think it's "in here," and we need to outgrow our tendency to project and scapegoat. Holographic Universe, and all that. Thanks for a great blog!

| It sounds sort of like the love that born-agains speak of feeling, but as you said it's part of every major religion. And it would make a way cool video game. Maybe we can combine it with biofeedback to teach us all how to tap into that love from Source. |

| Funny, in my dream all the "evils" were women. |
| |||
| Erin, that was an absolutely awe-inspiring dream--so epic and full of lesson. Really amazing to have had such a dream but, then again, you have put yourself through the "boot camp" of lucid dreaming and so it's natural for you to have experienced it. Thank you for sharing something that had such an effect on you personally. |

| Woke up this morning feeling a little... hopeless, and frustrated with myself for recent choices. I tried to turn that around by being grateful, focusing on what I'm grateful for... but I was just annoyed by everything! Remembered to sing "I will be gentle with myself" chant, which helped. (I will be gentle with myself, I will love myself. I am a child of the universe, being born each moment...) THEN I re-read this blog. So, NOW I'll be filling myself with love, just loving those previously unlovable parts of myself. Thanks for the reminder. |

| So, did you see the dream the way I did, carenkh? Namely that Supreme Evil is not "out there" but "in here" as I suggested earlier? A common method of dream interpretation is to consider all characters in the dream as aspects of one's self. So, the more 'evil' the character is, the more that aspect of ourselves is alienated from our consciousness. So Supreme Evil would be the thing we most disown from our self image. As Pogo said, "We have seen the enemy and he is us." A side issue: regarding Erin's not having to fight some of the numbered Evil Ones: in EFT, there is a phenomenon called "collapsing issues," wherein, if you take out several "table legs," as it were, the whole table falls, for lack of support.

It doesn't detract from the drama and impact of the story, IMO, to have it take place intrapsychically. And it also fits hand-in-glove, I think, with Steve's recent blog: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/200...relationships/ It's not that evil doesn't exist, but in this subjective, holographic, takes-one-to-know-one, hall-of-mirrors reality, we can only ever really deal with our own evil. Yeah, and I should definitely practice what I preach....

If the "outside evil" is just resonating with the "inside evil" which is not integrated, then do we need to protect ourselves from it, or just love our "inside evil" and integrate it with our more resourceful loving essence, thus "collapsing" the "outside evil"? Erin had no "protection" from Supreme Evil--none of her skillful tricks worked. Love was her only shield. Edit: Well, maybe Erin already answered my questions with the "fingers-and-hand" illustration, but still it's not entirely clear to me...have to think some more about it.
