This is your forum to share higher-level experiences in Cosolargy through the images of your dreams and visions. All postings are anonymous. Send in verbal descriptions and, if you have them, drawings or paintings.
The primary value in these postings is simply to allow others to see that people do have relevant or meaningful dreams and visions. Another value is to see if others find that the dreams and visions we post are similar or identical to their own. This is why we ask for your comments.
Dreams are communications from the unconscious mind and sometimes the higher self. Some are simply compensation for attention directed elsewhere during the day; some are indications of bodily processes, and some help us work through conflicts. Occasionally, they communicate information from higher realms and thus have more than individual value.
As Cosolargists, we are learning to navigate higher realms. Dreams are part of these higher realms. The Worlds of Light, the realm of spirit, sometimes breaks through to the psyche and gives us information. What breaks through deserves our attention and analysis. In this section of the Community Communique, we offer Community members a forum for sharing their dreams and visions for the edification of the Community and themselves.
Vision No. 4:
I have had quite a few experiences while solar gazing. I have also used the phosphene eyelid technique; however, I’m not sure what it’s called, but it has to do with the solar cross image within my eyes. I don’t know how many are aware of this experience, and I am not using the correct terminology regarding this, nor do I have access to the Academy series that describes this event. I have always been very reluctant to discuss this event, as I have discovered that it is not all that common, so I am at a loss for words.
I have never before tried to explain my solar experiences to anyone. I have called the a disk, but my preceptor referred to it as an orb. I could not find the text of The Cosolargy Papers that explains this event, but in the back of my closet I found a book titled GLOSSARY: Lectures on Metaphysics, Philosophy, and Mystic Theology; with an Exposition on the Spiritual Orders of Antiquity, volume 1 (Lectures 1–12). Scanning through it I read of the geometric figures, and in a paragraph on transmutation there was a reference to the solar orb, which “assumes varied geometric forms that communicate to the observer, this being a subjective experience that conveys knowledge….”
In a very bare-bones explanation (without relating my emotional or spiritual experience), I will tell you that two years after joining the Community, I was told in a dream to view the noontime sun through the leaves of a tree for several minutes for the next two or three days. On the second day I felt this burst of energy in front of my open eyes and perceived a very brilliant light that assumed the form of the sun orbiting in front of my eyes.
Over the next four months the orb/disk began to settle down into a manageable image in front of my open eyes. I asked what symbol it was that I was seeing. On Christmas night while sitting in a darkened room, I realized the spinning disk had slowed. So I concentrated on it, and it stopped in front of me. And I realized it was the image of the Cross of Cosolargy. It then began spinning until it became the solar disk that I had referred to earlier, which I still see today but in different figures. In September 2008 many brilliant symbols appeared before my open eyes, and since that time it appears that the cross has become somewhat different. Another event that occurred in August 2008 happened when I walked out the front door and glanced at the setting sun. I turned away, and a bright light flashed. When I turned back to the sun, it was a brilliant, flaming red ball, and I heard myself pray in a foreign language. I blinked and the brilliance was gone. There are also other events that I am coming to recognize as significant visions in my life.
I have also experienced the images of the phosphene techniques (pressing on the eye lids), and I have seen within my closed eyes for the first time the image of a bright sun in both eyes, then later the image of a bright sun in the right eye and a dark, star-sprinkled sky in the left eye. I assumed, since I had seen this later, that I was seeing in the right and left side of my brain simultaneously.
I have been reluctant to speak about this event, because in September 1984 I had attended a Convocation in Reno and mentioned this sun disk after having observed Sunrise Services, and no one said one thing to me in response so I did not mention it again, but I also have to relate that I felt intuitively not to speak of it until now.
In regard to what I am now beginning to comprehend was my grand experience in the sun, I am overwhelmed by this “vision,” as I refer to it.
During the years since I first noticed the spinning disk, I had not reflected upon it. All I saw at that time was the Community Cross; however, since 2008 other geometric designs have appeared to me—all at one time in a darkened room. And over time they began to rotate and seemed to meld in my head.
In the past few weeks, I have been seeing the solar orb and cross surrounded by a large white ring with symbols, which itself is surrounded by a dark reddish ring with rays coming from it. It appears quite suddenly and crosses my vision at the same time the solar cross is spinning. I do not understand this. I can’t understand at this time what it all means, but it seems to be evolving. (Since then, as these events have appeared, I have found again in my dresser the set of archetypal symbol cards, each with a different symbol of the sun.) When I can catch a better look at it I will share this.
