Road Dream

Road Dream
I had a dream the other night. I was driving on one of the bumpier
Texas roads in my low power car. People wanted to pass. Then I came
to a section of road newly paved with a layer of black asphalt. I
tried to go faster but I became interested in the asphalt. I
reached through the window shield and picked it up in both hands to
see it more closely. It passed over my hands like a river of road.
This effect looked very interesting . I tried to will the car
faster but the closer I looked at the road the more I slowed down. I
was uncomfortable and frustrated.
Love

Dear Bob,
Are you writing this because you would like an interpretation?
Love,
Kheyala

Dear Bob,
I couldn't wait for your response to whether or not you wanted an
interpretation, because it came flying at me at full speed from my
Heart! If you don't want it, don't read it....but I already know I'm
sending this! It's so strong. My hands are freezing and they are
shaking. They always do that when IT is Here.

In the dream, let us pretend that the car is your perception of the
body and the road is your perception of the spiritual path. Let's
say it was quite a bumpy ride (along with the awareness of people
passing you) until the emergence of the smooth asphalt (Self
Inquiry). Could it be that your fascination and close examination
the asphalt (the method) is holding up the transcendence of the
appearance of the car (the body) on the road (the path)? This would
explain the resulting discomfort and frustration....because you
really want to go fast! You are burning for Freedom!!!

(Doesn't Ramana say something about throwing the stick into the fire
after it has served its purpose?)

Dear Kheyala:
I'm sorry I couldn't get back sooner to answer your first post. I
posted the dream because it was about subconscious satsangh. I
wanted someone to comment on it. It was a message type dream.
Thanks.
I like your interpretation. It has been hard for me to isolate that
idea about the path being an obstacle but what you said brings it
home in spades.
Love Bob G.
P.S. I always want any comment you can take the time to make. bg
