Last night I dreamed that I was using a portal to rise from ground level to some sort of floating city. The portal failed but I managed to escape unscathed. However, the other users of the portal were not so lucky. I found these people floating in limbo with their heads detached from their bodies.
This dream illustrates the state of people who use logic exclusively i.e. without reference to the senses, to personal experience and intuition etc. The idea of being in a floating city is that logic is not grounded in personal experience or anything else, but is free floating. The idea that the head is detached from the body illustrates the “heartlessness” of logic and reason.
These people caught in limbo are the people I have been encountering on the forums, scientists and philosophers and others who depend on pure reason. The idea of a portal denotes that the “natural mind” is in a different state from the mind that uses only logic, and that a transition from one state to the other involves a disjointed change in the state of mind.
I was able to use the portal successfully, because I have developed intuition etc. So, for example, when I do a bout of thinking i.e. of pure reason, after about an hour, I begin to feel spaced out. I experience this state as extremely unpleasant and I know I have to recover from it. I also know that if I allow myself time doing something different, my mind will come down to ground level again.
Several years ago, I had a dream in which I was free floating in space, again associated with very unpleasant sensations. This dream served to remind me of the state I was in before I developed and practiced the full use of my senses, sensations, feelings and intuition. At the time i.e. when I was spaced out, I had no sense of what state my mind was in. It was only after I became grounded etc., that I could look back and be aware of how ghastly and frightening that state of mind had been.
