The Seventh Direction

PART THREE: Stalking Violet. Episode 43

   ["D/A" narrates —A.A.]

'Imagine a child asleep and dreaming—' Now I was particularly surprised! Wonderfully stunned even to find that the flow of words had trailed me right back through to the waking world! I followed the slow-flowing words and imagined that sleeping child to be Wyl, curled up by the fire, dreaming his way through some far-off place-

'How is it that a child reaches into these deep, intricately woven places?'

"Me? How should I know?!" My puzzled retort ripped through, silently.

'His mind is not filled nor fragmented by the pressures of his everyday lesser thoughts—' unhurried came the reply. 'He is far gone from there. He is asleep, and still, and his heart takes up the rhythm of the Mother Heart, the One Rhythm—and it BEATS within a Greater Place, and his dreams carry him nearer that Kingdom.'

A remnant of pain, a wee growth-pang, burst inside me as anticipation of that Kingdom resonated through—

'Yet, there remain Shadows extant in one's little kingdom, alive as well within the veil guarding the Greater; and at some point in waking life, one must revisit the veil if he has wish to reach the Greater Kingdom. And so, in his own due time then, he will attract these Shadows—these lesser rhythms—through resonance that he himself has, as he meets the veil and the challenges and the nebulous particulars of Atmospherean Worlds. But when in slumber, because he IS let go, he begins his dream-journey as the One Heart in Rhythm, traveling the realms which sustain the veil—same as in the waking state—but navigable now that his wee-mind is out of the way. And his Inner Eyes open, ears, and all the senses do, to a higher vibration; and his bones take up resonance with the One Rhythm, all around and through him: the One Rhythm which creates the path that will guide him to Higher Life. Yes, even as he sleeps does he naturally follow the Rhythm along the One Path—his path—observing influences both positive and negative as they relate to his life-purpose. And what if he were to awaken?'

The words flowed with added potency now.

'What if he were to become conscious within his dream. What then?'

"But, but—" I was so focused on Wyllen that everything was spinning through my mind now. (Dear God). I'm not sure I had bargained for this much work, this much input—too many thoughts converging, too many feelings intertwining and setting me adrift . . .

'We can go no further along this tangent now. Nevertheless, at this time, within this sphere of thought—a level of The One Mind, a level of The Wheel of Life within The GREAT Wheel, a level within which you are working, a level wherein the wee-mind might soon come to greater understanding—other tangents live that we may follow. But you can sleep this time round, if you like—' (that's twice reference to wee-mind) '—and we shall again slow the pace and proceed.'

Thank You. (WE, apparently, began to proceed. And I didn't sleep. The Wheel?)

'Alike the "zodiac" with which you are familiar, this wheel within The Wheel of Life has crossing through its center, twelve rays, or tangents or spokes. All rays, tangents, spokes, or aspects of the Zodiac, find their crossing through the center—the center being the same center for this level and all seven levels of The Wheel. At the heart of all seven levels then, clear and crystal in its symbolism, lay the portal to the next level. You will need often to go within your heart to remain in league with The One Rhythm which emanates from the center of your perspective-level of The Wheel of Life and goes, upon completion of said level, on and through to the next level and into Higher Life. . . .'
