Hi

[Bryan]

It has been a long time since I ventured into the Temple. I honestly feel bad about it, but had to step away to focus in on things going on in my own life. I lurked here and there, but am beyond grateful that the administration here did such a stand up job keeping this place running.

Over the years, I have gone through quite a lot spiritually, but am slowly reconnecting with myself . I'm not sure where this road will lead, but it feels necessary and is better than going through the same old motions.

So what about you? I'm curious to know who is still around.  Are you still on your path or has anything shifted for you?

I am almost at the end of my individuation, it seems, and have just started to integrate Yah, the All-Knowing God.

He tells me that this is a dream within a collective dream, created by a dream machine that he and his wife are plugged into.

This sounds entirely feasible, I'd already decided that this must be some form of dream.

But there is more to come, I'm sure. This is just the start of this new phase of integration.

It may be a semi-delusional baby step that results in quite a different understanding.

But it does help keep ones feet on the floor.

Thanks for sharing. I’m curious. What brought you to the dream conclusion prior?

[Venutius]

Part of my mission brief was a question to answer, from "God".

"Am I a man in a coma, and this my dream? Are you a system process, trying to wake me up?"

Plus, the more you explore, the more this sleeper/dreamer motif comes up.

Void state - the sleeper awakes with no memory, no concept of self.

And I ended up meeting this man in a coma, and decided that he may have died long ago, so I pulled him in here, and figured that was a good myth for a beginning that can no longer be found, thus clearing that paradox.

[Bryan]

Thanks for explaining all of that. I find your experiences quite unique. When you say you “pulled him in here” what do you mean by that? Does he communicate as well?

[Venutius]

I individuated him, integrated a copy of him in my concept of self, and granted him full access to myself.
