Unveil The Eye's Outer layer Of Illusion By

On
March 1, 1998, I had a really wonderful dream about Master. I believe it might
have been the kind of dream in which Master teaches you, although I'm not sure
which parts of this dream were 'dream' and which parts were 'teaching'. I know
that Master gave a lecture but I cannot remember that part; however, I remember
the most touching part of the dream and that was when Master picked up a camera,
or some binoculars, and pointed them at someone's eyes. Master commented, "It's
easy." (Meaning that enlightenment is easy.) I saw the person's face, then
we 'zoomed' in on the eyes. It was like moving closer to the eyes, but they
didn't get bigger. The outer layers of illusions just came away and we saw many
things being unveiled. As the layers came away, the nature of the eyes (or what
was behind them) became more and more wonderful. During this time, I remember
being very touched; I was crying in the dream.
As we moved closer,
(more inward), we saw a lot of things, such as planets, moons, etc., until everything
went black. Then I saw someone playing in black water who was crying. It might
have been black water or tar. I remember wondering if the place was like an
empty space for any kind of creation that you want to put there (called the
Void in Zen), but also I thought that the place might just be a big mess. Later
I thought that perhaps the Void, or empty space, was okay and that you can have
fun there, create what you like, but that after you have created something,
it can become a mess. Then we moved out and looked down on the black water from
a long distance so that it seemed like we were looking down on a black pond.
The person I saw in the water before was still there, only smaller. There was
a person overseeing the black pond who sent some kind of waves along the water
toward the one who was crying. I remember talking with this person about Master.
It seemed as if the person knew Master well, or was working with or for Her.
However, I woke up about this time.
All of this reminded
me of a phrase, "The microcosm is the macrocosm," which means that
the Self (small universe, micro-cosmos) is one with the Creation (large universe,
macro-cosmos). If I were to analyze this dream I would say that Master took
me out of the body, past the levels of planets, stars, moons, etc., up to a
dark region at the top of Creation (the black water I saw). The person could
be crying because of being trapped within his own creations, not realizing that
it's just a game that he has created, and the person overseeing all this could
have been sending waves (the inner Sound, a kind of wave/vibration) to the suffering
soul.
