In the Secular culture, sleep
is just a rest period between hours of work.
You sleep off the clock to be ready to get
on the clock, again.
In Scientism,
sleep is simply a turning-off of conscious
thought, and dreaming is considered a random, bizarre, often
humorous
experience.
What happens when you dream, however, is not
valued as having any meaning for your daily life, except
if you awake
tired by a “bad” dream, such as being chased all
night. One wakes to the clock. Flips on the lights. Ready and
raring to “Go!” All is preparation for work.
There is a lot more to explore in this regard,
but, for the moment, the simple fact is to recognize that sleeping
and dreaming have no spiritually erotic weight in
the Secular and Scientism cultures. One simply lays down so as
to rise up
to work—but do note the ritual
element in
all this.
In time, you and your Beloved
move into
dreamtime,
together.
You lay down the Sun as
it lifts up the Moon. You observe each other in this new glow.
You observe and create. Mime. Mediate. Play. Whatever you
do, do together. You are a nurturing embrace of your presences.
This
moves you towards lying down together. To the opening of your
long-suppressed and oppressed Moon
self—that fuller coupled self you become as
you slip into deep sleeping where, together, you create the
third
presence,
that of yourselves as the Beloved Other. All becomes a nurturing
embrace of beloveds inside the
dark
and shadow
realms.
In deep sleeping, the Beloveds
intend to venture forth on the Moon’s journey as
they began the day by intending to do so on the Sun’s
journey.
Continue—Deep
