Bardo of Dreams

The word bardo refer to a “gap or intermediary location” that exist between two states of being. In the Tibetan Book of the Dead or The Bardo Thodol – The Great Liberation Through Hearing – six bardo states are mentioned: The Bardo of the moment before death, The Bardo of Dharmata, The Bardo of Becoming, The Bardo of Birth, The Bardo of Samadhi-meditation, and The Bardo of Dreams. Since bardo is a transition between two states of awareness, we transition in and out of bardo multiple times a day. This is characterized by an opportunity for us to leave our current state and move into a new awareness, state, or knowing. It is a period that is initially marked by doubt, fear, confusion, and ultimately results in expansion. It is a letting go of a past identity with all the doubt and chaos this may create and the acceptance of new way of perceiving self. One could say that the planetary transition from 3-D into 5D is an extended bardo process. No one can find enlightenment without going through bardo. It is the only path to liberation.

The acceptance and identification with the EXPANSION or NEW AWARENESS is the only way out of samsara (wheel of death and rebirth). We have the six bardo states to practice how to recognize and accept the expansion. It is about letting go of limiting beliefs, illusions, and false identities and the acknowledgement of the true essence of being. The key is to remain self-aware, self-examining, self-evaluating during any bardo process. Disassociating and retreating into unconscious reactivity due to the chaotic projections and events that are occurring during bardo will keep you prisoner in samsara. Being conscious through this process and making informed choices will lead to conscious immortality and liberation.

In this training, I will be teaching technics and sharing insights on how to understand the true nature of being during our dream time. The second Buddha taught a DREAM YOGA as a way to accelerate our exit out of samsara. Instead of waiting for the Bardo of Dharmata or death to attempt to expand into a higher version of ourselves, we should use the eight hours of our sleep time to practice the increase of “NATURAL LIGHT” and recognize the LUMINOSITY in our sleep.

We all sleep and we all dream. Even if we don’t remember, we dream. The average person goes through 3 to 4 R.E.M. (rapid eye movement) periods during the night and this is when dream occur. From a western point of view, dreams have an important role to play in the healing of the human psyche. The work of Sigmund Freud, Carl Yung, and others have documented this. But they lack the depth and insight that traditional shamanistic, Buddhist, kabbalistic, and primordial cultures can provide to help us understand the context and purpose of dreaming. 

Not all dreams have the same importance and value. Some are the replay of subtle clues, and nuances that we missed during the day, others are about subconscious struggles between various broken parts of our psyche. There are still some that are predictive foretelling of what may come to be.

One of the key components of this practice is to learn how to become lucid in dreams. That act of self-awareness in dreams has the same effect as recognizing the luminosity in the other five states of the bardo. With that accomplish we can begin to explore more sophisticated methods of controlling the dream world. It turns out that the laws and manners in which you control the dream world operate in all dimensions and realities: 3D, 4D, 5D…etc.

For the 144,000 volunteer to help humanity find safe passage into the new earth, they have to learn how to remain focus without distraction and be conscious and connected to the natural light. This will allow their individual verticality and alignment to the luminosity and spiritual presence to combine and merge with others and together they will create a bridge that will help the rest of humanity find the NEW EARTH.

This is an introduction to the wisdom and control of the dream world. The training begins on April 18, 2022 and continues every Monday for 12 consecutive weeks from 7:00 to 9:00 pm EST. We will not meet on May 16, 2022 for this will be a continuation of WESAK FESTIVAL 2022.

It has been many years since I taught this class. I will bring to this updated version the combine wisdom of the shamanistic, Buddhist, kabbalistic, and primordial traditions.

You will need to have a dream journal and read portion the following books: The Ladder of Lights by William Gray, The Art of Dreaming by Carlos Castaneda, and Dream Yoga and the Practice of Natural Light by Namkhai Norbu.

I look forward to show you how to awake in your dreams and guide you through the various dream gates. Please join us.

NO PRIOR TRAINING OR CLASSES ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE THIS CLASS.

Here are the Details:

Session Number One:

The Physiology of Dream: We do not definitively know why we dream, but everyone dreams. Some say it is to consolidate memories other that it is for the regeneration of transmitter chemicals. Dreams are caused by small electrical impulses starting at the base of the spinal cord (medulla Oblongata) leading to the Occipital Cortex – the area where visual impressions are perceived.

Session Number Two:

Types of Awareness: Awareness is dual by nature: there is the conscious and the unconscious. What the “I”, ego, and conscious perceive is limited in scope while the unconscious is vast. The analogy is a cork floating on an ocean. The unconscious is made up of fragments: like complexes, archetypes, the shadow, the anima or animus.

Session Number Three:

Types of Dreams: Not all dreams are the same. Some are simply the unconscious replay of clues and information that self-awareness missed during the day. Others are replaying of internal unconscious conflicts; while others are psychic and predictive by nature.

Session Number Four:

Dream Interpretation: The unconscious mind is not linear and the laws of the physical world do not apply.  There are dreams that are caused by physical restriction while are falling to sleep. Outward related: it is how the subconscious vibes are picked up and replayed. Subjective dreams: display our intuitive and subjective feeling. Inward dreams: the majority of our dreams. It replays the ego struggle for integration with the archetypes and other fragments of the unconscious mind. Psychic or Spiritual Dreams: They can be warming about the future, alternate realities or journey to other dimensions, and world.

Session Number Five:

The Adversary or Inorganic Beings: They are known by many names in different cultures, traditions, religions, and belief system: The gnostic call them the archons and the native nations wetiko or the adversary. In the Book of Enoch, they are called the watchers. For Carlos Castaneda and the shamanistic tradition, they are known as the inorganic beings.

Session Number Six:

Increasing your Natural Light:  The state of being in natural light is to be self-evaluating and aware in everything that you are doing even while you dream. This will require that you awake in the dream and realize that you are dreaming.

Session Number Seven:

Learning how to control the dream: In the dream world, your gaze control where you go. If you are in room and you see a painting with a landscape and stare at it., the dream world will shift into that environment. Inception the movie.

Session Number Eight:

Interpreting the Dream in the Dream: A curious effect of lucid dreaming is the ability to interpret the dream while you are dreaming.  You are so self-aware and self-evaluating that you are analyzing the dream while it is happening in real time.

Session Number Nine:

The Power of Intention:  As your awareness in dream increases so is your strength and will in dream time. You are no longer control by the projection and reflection of the dream world. You are able to control and change the dream by your will and intention.

Session Number Ten:

Dream Clarification and Active Imagination: There are moments where a dream message is so obstruse that we cannot understand the meaning to it. After you are awake you can do and active imagination exercise where you go back to the dream in meditation and ask for clarification. The next evening you can ask for a dream clarification.

Session Number Eleven:

Being in Emptiness in the Dream: As your self-awareness and evaluation increases in the dream, you begin to realize that it is not about the narrative and interpretation of the dream. It is about maintaining awareness everywhere. For the dream narratives are illusion and projections of the mind and are formless.

Session Number Twelve:

Safe passage into the New Earth: At the moment of passage and three days of darkness, the 144,000.00 will have to collectively realize that the chaos of the passage is and illusion and therefore formless. With that in mind they will collectively guide humanity into the NEW EARTH.
