Dream

I returned from Santa Fe 2 weeks ago today. It was an intense yet amazing experience. I thought that I would stop blogging but after a dream I had last night I think I will keep going. I dreamt of a house that was a mixture between the house I grew up in and the house I currently own. I could see through a room into the roof. The room was in color but the roof/attic was in b+w. I was hesitant to go into the attic portion as it was like going into a different realm, but I did. I saw a man and he had some ailment (not visible but he told me so). He told me that I had the vision to see the way to fix it. He said there was a reason why the space was showing up as black and white. There was more to the dream but I cannot remember much. But I realized today that the "template" realm or realm of the ethers is by nature going to appear b+w. It will not always be that way, but because it is like a template of the physical world it makes sense it would not always have to be in such detail. Fewer colors means it is more straight to the point. Both b+w hold all the colors within them like a seed. An example would be like drawing plans for a house. You only need b+w to convey ideas. You can add color if you want, but it is not necessary in this stage.

I drive around and I see life and it is so weird but it is like I see both life unfolding and the template/pattern behind its unfolding. Like a formula in math. I see analogy all the time. Grooves of how things go -- patterns of nature. I feel like the 5th world or akashic world is truly dawning. The people who can see it are seeing it but some people cannot yet see it. Even thought they are experiencing it. Kind of like a baby that rides in the car and senses movement. At first it is awareness of just movement. Then it is the awareness of knowing that space (car) makes it able to move around. Then there is the actual knowledge of literally riding in a car. It takes time for things to appear to emerge even though they have been there all the while.

I think I have always seen this way but did not realize other people did not see it the same way. Maybe that is what my dream is about? Showing me that I have something I should run with. I do feel that way with vastu. I feel it is my dharma. Like I was born with these traits that would be conducive to designing and building houses. Gestalt. As if it was a plan all along. It is weird because it is not something I want to do. It is not something I think I have to do. It is just what is. A friend asked me why I felt I have to go to architecture school....I don't really. But there is an energetic pushing me that way, like it is the next step. I am not doing it for anyone or because I think I need it. It just is the next unfolding. Sometimes life is not about what we want or don't want. Life actually never is about what we want or don't want. We have the choice to go inward and let go of things that hold us back - fears and stubborn mindsets about how things should be - and just surrender to the flow. When we surrender is when things go as they should and we move forward with ease. It is crazy how it works. The friend assumed I could make the choice. I can see why. But if he can see who he is beyond personality and ego then he will see me and understand what I am saying and not judge. Until then it WILL look like I am making some decision. That being said, maybe I won't go to school. I am surrendering and going to sit back and see what happens...

building a temple cottage

The last week or so there was no internet at the hotel so I wasn't able to post. Which is a good thing anyway because I have not had much time. We finished up our small models and then moved on to create a 6x6x? structure in the back of someone's home (yard area). We found the woman's nakshatra and found a perimeter measurement that was compatible with her. It was very interesting to figure out which one would be best. We narrowed it down to 2, then drew the perimeter in tape on the ground to get an idea of what seemed best. We each stood in the center and it was amazing to feel how the energy was different in each and also how by simply marking a line you can "start" to create the structure even with no walls.

We started on the site by leveling the ground, finding the brahmasutra (line that runs n/s in the center) and the somasutra (line that runs e/w in the center. We then proceeded to find the exterior corners with a compass. It took forever to place the lines. Days. We would go home at night and it was like the vastu elves would mess things up just to drive us crazy! We would check, recheck. In measuring and cutting the wood we have to be within a 1/32 of an inch. Meticulous work but strangely enough it is not that hard. You just need the right tools and a sharp pencil and a good eye! And it helps to be working in a group.

A few of the people are getting vas-stewed. It is true how this knowledge is very purifying and if you are not ready to handle it, things will come up-dramas or whatever- that distract you and pull you away from being a part of it. It is kind of like the way the subject protects itself from being mis-used. You can truly create a healthy vibrant space for someone or create a space that brings them destruction. So you have to have a pure heart and be willing to redo things if they are not right as that energy will eventually come back to you if you do not.

I was reminded of hopi prophesy the other day. It says the dawn of the 5th world will come when the blue kachina dances in the square. It also talks about 2 brothers returning each with 1/2 of a "tiponi tablet"— one carrying the sign of the swastika and another the sign of the celtic cross. The 5th world is the world of akasha or space - the fifth element. The blue kachina dancing in the square is the fabric of the universe (which is a blue square). This is code for vastu. The swastika is also code for vastu as is the celtic cross. The scottish rite temples have a relationship with vastu building. It is crazy but I can see how it is all talking about this new age and how vastu will be a key element in allowing the element of space to be explored by people everywhere. I looked up tiponi and it means "object containing sources of spiritual power which authorizes action and protects like a guardian spirit". Amazing. These next few decades are going to be very interesting.

So next wednesday we are to be done with the temple cottage. We have the foundation and the walls cut. Still have to put up the walls and roof and finish the inside. It has been a wonderful experience even if I have had barely 2 days off the last 3 and a half weeks! I have been taking photos and will post at some point. The structure is already buzzing even without the walls up!
