"I am an old Physicist, I am not afraid of death, I am afraid of time."
I was exploring the possibilities of other Planet Earths. They seemed distant, yet we longed to discover them. We felt we needed to look into something, something that shows possibilities; beyond our comprehension.
It was like looking into your past, I realized later on. We saw possibilities of Planet Earths beyond our solar system, beyond The Milky Way. Planets that orbit around red dwarfs, children to our Sun. Planets that themselves were in their twos, threes, to tens, year olds away from our maturing Earth. We longed to understand where we came from, where we are heading. We looked out-wordly to find answers.
Answers that we could also find inside.
Observation of the Self
1. Inter Dream State
He never knew a day would ever come. He always thought that his pattern of thoughts were stable, heading towards a clear destination, an ultimate goal.
Nigel woke up slowly, guided by the fading bright light. He sat up, crossed his knees, arched his back, placed his right arm elbow on his right leg knee, placed his right hand palm under his chin as support to his head. His left arm shoulder extended straight, forearm, followed by his left hand palm, falling down to hold his left leg knee, eyes staring into space, reminiscing in his dream.
His memory showed him gracefully falling into space. He was not sure if he was naked, although he did see him self in third person with a vague image. At the same time he was looking through the eyes of the dreamer. He felt joy in the fall, and scanning his surroundings, he saw little worlds.
Worlds with magnificent landscapes and terrain. Surfaces with floating islands on bright blue seas. Mountains of rivers and ice. Deep cracked, volcano infested plains. A Single Mountain globe.
And the stars were bright and plenty. Red, yellow, green, purple stars.
In a moment, he longed to go discover the Planet Earths. In the same instant, a voice told "Nigel, stay your place. Mystery is shy, let it come to you."
His body slowly relaxed into crossed leg sitting position, back straight, arms resting on knees, and closed eyes. Within moments, a light started between his rib cages, right where they split. The light expanded, until his view was only bright light.
