The world according to my ‘druidic’ visions; questing:

The fundamental thing in druidry is ‘questing’, which is the art of making a journey towards discovery into a quest i.e. taking it that you are being taught by your visions, an inner speechless voice, visualisations etc in a certain ‘manner’. One which will resolve over a course of time, where everyone you meet and speak to also become part of that quests adventure.

Consider the Arthurian 'quest for the holy grail; the grail represents an idea or something you wish to achieve, it can be absolutely anything ~ as the storyline is actually irrelevant. Usually the contents of the grail change as one furthers themselves, and indeed from ancient times [even as far back as the stone age] I believe the grail rarely had a single ‘holder’ or one person who the grail was far – as it were. Instead many druids would be part of a grail journey, and there would be many journeyers and many grails. Eventually some of the grails would merge together, and a single grail and respective ‘champion of the grail’ would emerge.

I should add that kings and warriors are part of the quest, not the whole of it, only druid ‘types’ can take a quest and gain the grail [though not for themselves of course].

I cant know if my visions are the same as the ancients, though I would argue they are the same ~ but relative to me, now, in these times. Indeed I think there is an arcane university ‘out there’ in reality somewhere.

So what am I being taught? This is the question I am asking you! ~ as my subjective interpretation could be wrong or may be expanded.

1.the ‘void’. My first vision; a rectangular opening in the wall occurred and I ‘flew’ through it. The moment after I arrived in an empty place/space [assumedly; the void], everything about this earthly world was gone completely. I immediately became aware of its depthlessness in terms of being seemingly infinite as opposed to a dark and close kind of negative void [there is that in druidry too though [the annwyn; ‘region’ of death and nightmares, curse ~ a darkness from beneath [as represented by the pictish symbol and meaning of 'water-horse’etc].

2.‘Direction’; I felt myself floating and could move around by thinking myself in a given direction. I moved forwards noticing a calm feeling of bliss, then I moved in a downwards motion, noticing a distinct sense of discomfort quickly becoming like a hellishness [feeling of]. Naturally I moved upwards quickly and found myself back in ‘neutral space’, thence moving upwards once more I then had a vision of what I thought of as ‘God’ [possibly deus-pater sky-father [druidic and generally proto-indo-european deity]].

3.Seeing your or ‘the’ future; after the vision I found myself moving forwards, and as I did visions appeared before me. They began with a vision of white pearly stairs which appeared to be going up to heaven ~ as if like they do in movies lol. Upon those stairs were three women, one I was with at the time, the next up a few steps was the lady I met after and married, then much further up the steps was a third whom I haven’t as yet met [but feel I will]. I saw a lot of things that now [I can only remember some] have come to pass, but it all seemed very metaphoric rather than literal. A couple of things I would really like to happen, but they haven’t as yet [boo god].

The vision then ended by me sensing my room around me and I floated back to where I were sat.

that’s probably enough to start with, I have spoken about things like ‘the realm of purple orbs’ and light beams, as the intermediate realm [as Tibetan Buddhists call it] before somewhat. I shall add that I have seen at least one other ‘god’/deity since, and between the 7 years of visioning I had between the ages of 20 and 27. after that I got a ‘message’ saying I should “review my philosophy prior to moving further with my visioning”, and that has been where I have been at since.

Some of you have known me here for a few years, and I wonder if any of you have seen anything of a ‘quest’ i.e. has my learning changed as dramatically as I think it has since I came here?

What do you think of ‘questing’?

What does one do once you leave the arcane university?

  • in other words, what happens once we know how it all works ~ if we imagine that one could eventually do so, after perhaps many lives and incarnations. What does one do and be, does one simply live a better more fruitful and knowledgeable life etc? Remembering that the higher quests are a bit like putting your brain on a medieval rack and stretching it in all directions!

can you see yourself as being on or in a quest?

  • and if you just think its all bollocks, that 90 billion neurons creating such things means nothing, then please don’t answer this thread!

If you become complete, you can help to complete other beings. We are capable of developing a higher form of love, divine love, even though on the surface we appear vulgar. This will make teaching seem important, as it is a form of charity. Without higher love, reality and knowledge are in a different light, in a different frame, and in a different paradigm.

What was your method for obtaining the visions?
It sounds allot like an OBE mixed with a dream. I believe this involves your mental body leaving, while your soul remains on earth. The mental body can wonder if it is not being preoccupied by its host body.

I’ve had shit-tons of visions. I think they are just little pieces of the whole universal puzzle.

I believe our higher self, if we have one, (sometimes they leave to persue higher goals) it is on an eternal quest. The quest never ends. The higher self expresses what we are at the most sublime level, which is a psychic will substance and creative positive energy. Our HS also records all our ‘lives’.

Agreed. Now lets take this to a conclusion; given a finite amount of time and hence a finite amount of souls to be born into this world, when all people become let us say, ~ ‘spartan equals’ [all finished/complete], then don’t we still have a similar problem i.e. what’s it all for?

I mean, it would be nice to live in an Elysium like realm, where everyone are ‘complete’, and there is no death and disease etc, …but?

Put it this way, I had some visions, sober but near sleep, in dreams, and on drugs. Some of those visions crossed over from one ‘method’ to another. I have heard some people can be ‘just walking along the road’ and have visions, or when meditating or in deep religious contemplations and silence. In my humble opinion, it just takes whatever it takes ~ to get the mind in a state where it is somewhat dislodged from its vehicle [physical form]. I wouldn’t place a prejudice upon any particular method. I’m just saying that generally/to all, I think you probably already understand that.

I know it is easy to dismiss such things especially whilst one is under the influence, but something is happening in the brain*. Something [that*] is also affecting the quale [especially, colour], ~ which doesn’t appear to be any different to that in the world. One set of quale are derivative of informations from the world, the other derivative of that in the mind.

Its also interesting how the brain/mind can manifest an infinity [the void], as a place it can perceive itself being in. surely that makes the perception itself infinite?!

Then if we consider this in the Buddhist sense, nirvana is a state of mind; so reality is primarily and fundamentally mind + infinity. Yet that ‘mind’ is equally real as the physical universe, ~ here I am disagreeing with Buddhism, in that Buddhists appear to feel that nirvana is the only reality, everything else is ‘illusory’. I am more thinking of reality as like a sliding scale, from mind to qualia, to information, to physical form.
…all equally real.

I agree.

I am working on what that puzzle ‘is’ too, this is the most of my ‘quest’ – as it were. I would match-up the puzzle with the arcane university in a sense, ~ wouldn’t you?

Sounds about right to me. I suppose that if there were a ‘transient eternity’, then one would always need to learn and adapt to people and changes. …and really, if the soul were at peace there would be little need to even think about an end to it all. I also suspect that the very nature of such an eternity would make us think differently anyhow.

Emptiness/nirvana seems a far simpler solution though, …?

it almost seems fair if that was our natural state, that things which occur in the world pull us out of our comfort zone – literally. So really liberation is where we start as well as end! It isn’t something we haven’t experienced which we need to achieve as such.
