song of the stars

Good Mroning Relatives
wow we had two inches of snow last night   it s a perfectly quiet morning

I had the best dreams last night    I have started on my next writing project   Im writing an interpretation of the Yoga sutras of Patanjali     in the dreams I found myself on a different planet  in a different time     one of the people that I know from this time and place was also there

she was suffering from the scars that her father placed in her psyche  there were others there who also were caught in the illusion of the scars and the identity that comes from misidentification of who we are as human beings
which is what the sutras are about  un attaching our identification from the wrong point and attaching it  freeing it so that it returns to it origin  thus freeing us

between my friend, and the other people who were there arose a conflict with a third group  a group of what we would call aliens simply because they are shaped differently than we are  

the conflict was going to be resolved with violence  

I stepped out to the edge between the parties and began to sing   looking up to the night sky  the star sky I began to sing   out of the song that came out of me which I had no memory of knowing  came a reorientation an adjustment between myself and the stars     it grew in strength as the song grew

inside the song inside the connection i could see, feel that the idea that was behind the need for violence was just an illusion

the song changed everything  the orientation it gave healed all the violence

what I woke knowing is that we all carry in our minds the memories  the scars of our past  the wrong identity between ourselves and ourselves  

perhaps it is writing about the Sutras that brought the dream  perhaps it was time for me to hear the song and sing it  

either way what I see is that we are trapped in an illusion that because we believe it we feel threatened we feel angst  we feel like we are what we truly are not

if your mind or your identity today gives you the impetus to be violent relatives  in any way  towards yourself or another  remember that whatever it is that you think you are you are not  whatever it is that pushes you to do something that is negative    that push is only in your mind

let it go   do not invest in what is not real

best
