We are all Students here. Your current grade represents your present time zone, while mine reflects the time zone of my “currency.” Sometimes, when it is day for you, it is night for me. Yet the same sun that is now rising for me has already set for you. The same light, simply passing through a different time zone. The grades in our noble Order are just that: different time zones, nothing more.
My ability for Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection has always been a gift I possessed since childhood. However, I must admit that even in this fantastic realm, as a child, I managed to maintain a scientific observation and approach.
All our trouble is that with the occult arts, we try bypassing something that is an entirely open channel in itself. It has taken so much time during which we have been really unable to say what is going on in our brains during quite ordinary things; apart from being able to perceive certain reactions, we are unable to answer how and why processes occur within the mind, and how certain information is processed and stored.
Both shadow and fear in a lucid dream are always and only routes to the Angel who tells us where to go – if we dare and if we find courage and Will.
A note in the dream Diary does not serve to admire your phantasmagorias but to dissect them, measure them, probe them with the flame of childish intrigue.
