In the Secular culture, sleep
is just a rest period between hours of work.
You sleep off the clock to be ready to get
on the clock, again.
In Scientism,
sleep is simply a turning-off of conscious
thought, and dreaming is considered a random, bizarre, often
humorous
experience.
What happens when you dream, however, is not
valued as having any meaning for your daily life, except
if you awake
tired by a “bad” dream, such as being chased all
night. One wakes to the clock. Flips on the lights. Ready and
raring to “Go!” All is preparation for work.
There is a lot more to explore in this regard,
but, for the moment, the simple fact is to recognize that sleeping
and dreaming have no spiritually erotic weight in the Secular
and Scientism cultures. One simply lays down so as to rise up
to work. But do note the ritual element in
all this.
In time, you and your Beloved
move into
dreamtime,
together.
You lay down the Sun as
it lifts up the Moon. You observe each other in this new glow.
You observe and create. Mime. Mediate. Play. Whatever you do,
do together. You are an embrace of your presences. This to
move you towards lying down together. To the opening of your Moon
self. That fuller self you become as you move towards
deep sleeping. Because deep sleeping is the creating of an
Other. It is a nurturing embrace of beloveds inside the dark
and shadow
realms.
In deep sleeping, the Beloveds
intend to venture forth on the Moon’s journey as
they began the day by intending to do so on the Sun’s
journey.
