Freeing Ourselves from This Prison

In sleep and half-sleep, I had experiences that brought me to a realization which I intend here to share with you. 

In sleep, I was in a prison cell, all bars on all four sides and on all sides of me were other prison cells, other prisoners in the cells. It was only a fleeting impression of this and then I heard a loud clang sound as of bars being pushed and all of a sudden, in each of the cells, there was a doorway out. 

But for example, the doorway out of my cell led into the next person’s cell and so on and it was a maze. Some cells had two doorways opened and in some cases, it seemed to be a dead-end. And again, I had only a fleeting impression and knowledge of this before I came into a half-sleeping state. 

And in that half-sleep and half-waking state, I felt the power of this metaphor, this illusion of the prison cells… all of us guilty – all of us entrapped in our darkness, our guilt, our shame, our mistakes. 

And to get out, we have to go through the maze, which means that we have to enter into others’ cells. In my cell, in that brief moment before I heard the clang of the bars and the doors opened, I felt relatively safe and secure – I mean, it was a cell, but it was my cell and my guilt. I knew it and had accepted it. 

But getting through the maze means being willing to go into others’ experiences and darkness. And there are dead-ends; you have to know where to go. And the prisoners were starting to panic, to yell and get dramatic, even trying to attack each other in their desperation and fear…. This is a clear metaphor for what is going on in the world right now.

And I suddenly knew exactly what to do and how to find the way out of the maze. I had to hold a frequency - a vibration - of being in total peace. It is the peace that passes all understanding and it is love and acceptance of all that is. I feel it as being the Christ Consciousness or very close to that. 

As soon as I chose that frequency state within my being, I could see a faint glow on the doorways that indicated that they were the right way to go…. And I knew exactly how to move through the maze. Not only that, but that frequency within me created calm and freedom from fear in the other prisoners around me, so that they cooperated with me and with each other. And we began to make our way out. 

And then I realized how vast this prison is…. Cell upon cell upon cell stretched out in all directions …. And the frequency state slipped… slipped into dismay and discouragement… and I could no longer see the faint glow to show the way forward… Despair.

So once again, I had to choose that frequency and hold that vibration within me. There is faith in it - faith in the divine love and light that is within us, faith and trust in this process. 

No matter how long it takes, that is the way forward for me now and it alone brings ease and calm, peace and well-being and a knowledge of how to proceed…. 

And I have to be completely willing to go into others’ cells – that is to say, into others’ illusions, delusions, darkness and shame, guilt and fear. 

There was a very strong sense that we do this together or we do not do this at all. I can feel it in me now as I write…. We do this together. We are not 'good guys' and 'bad guys.' We are all together in this process.

And all is well. These dream-state experiences have shown me where I am and given me a clear sense of my work now and perhaps it is your work as well. Hold that frequency! Be the love - the absolute lack of judgment - the peace with what is that our world needs now.
