I had a dream last night...
I was told that there is a passage under the Sphinx in Egypt and it needed to be opened to public knowledge. The world was ready.
The dream moved fast...
I was in Cairo in the office of one of the curators of the big museum there. He was "in the know" about the passage but did not know how to open it short of breaking the walls in and the Council of Antiquities in Egypt forbid such projects.
I told him the key was "12 paces to the Constellation of Seker".
We went down into the archives in the lower floors of the museum and found a 6 meter statue of the god Seker. I stood at its base, turned away from it and walked 12 paces, and turned again to face Seker. Then I took out a magic marker and a small sheet of plexiglass I had in a hip bag. I held the plexi up to the statue at arms length. I then circled on the glass both hands, the forehead point, the top of the crown, and the tops of the rods the hands held. Then I connected the circles with lines and it formed a sort of constellation of points on the plexiglass.
Next we were in the passageway in the leg of the Sphynx. On a particular wall I think was near the paw I stood on a worn spot on the floor where the disc of Ra used to be carved. I held the plexiglass up at arms length and moved it until 6 of the heiroglyphs on the far wall lined up with the constellation perfectly.
I woke up then... but I'm certain there's more to this.

Saviors
Issues call to us for attention all the time. The daunting realization of how vast some world problems are can be so depressing. And even as we are saddling our heavily armored warhorse to go out there and do battle we all have the quiver in our breath... is this gonna work?
Maybe, I should spend a moment to make sure the crusade is personal and close to my heart. Then all my energy goes to a sustainable mission. I can sustain it out of my own conviction and intent.
And then, instead of saving the world, I should save my neighbor.
So then he can see how to save his neighbor... and so on.
If you understand the term "expand geometrically" you can see the world will get saved faster than you think.

Katch' koly
The first time I saw you I had no idea what to make of you but there was something familiar in you, like a part of myself I'd forgotten about long ago.
That you chose this moment to come up from the depths and work with me is both an honor and a mystery. I can guess that my own gates have moved me to a place where I can begin to understand you... at the same time you are overwhelming.
You've come to teach me something about creating. And yesterday I felt the first turbulence of what you are bringing... it caused me to see something.
I saw myself and so many other creators standing in bright light making the stuff we make... and all of it was being born out of these mirrors that stood in front of each of us. Mirrors that stood between us and our view of the world. I could see that in the bright light we tend to pull our creations from human memory and we take these things we've known before and we tweak them and twist them with varying degrees of originality and mercilessness and declare them our "new" things. It's just, they aren't really that new.
And then you arrive and I look into that obsidian eye and I see dark, infinite depths. I hear you calling me to sink down with you in the crushing dark. You know all about the massive ball of fear that stirs. But I'm awake enough to know the dark you are inviting has nothing to do with evil... nothing to do with a lightless existence... it's a dark that is FULL of EMPTY. It's so hard to describe this. But it's a place where I think you'll show me how to start creating without the need for light, without using a mirror, and memory and perhaps even without thought. A place where things emerge at my hands that are so strange, things never seen before, like that first infinitely small moment when God asked "Who am I?" and all of Creation burst forth in answer.
I know I'm afraid to go too deep there. But I'm going to trust in your intent and go with you, and we'll strip off the fears one by one.
Into the crushing depths... to create without light... straight from the Source.
I realize right now that I'm not so afraid of what I'll create... I'm afraid I won't recognize myself after I learn this. And isn't that always the fear when we face change. It always is.
