JOURNAL OF POSSIBLE PARADIGMS

LETTERS FORUM:

Dear Stephen,

I want to mention several dreams that needed your issue (ELFis #3) to help me "get" them. One of them is a rather... amazing revelation.

I had a major scale dream involving Lake Superior. Saw a series of steps or falls out on it-more life stairs with water flowing down it into the lake, people fishing (dreaming) off the front of it. This translated into a game called The Seven Seals which I was playing at the location where I was standing-the famed depression in the woods. On this game, the same setup as the steps on the lake was sitting a rather nondescript looking person. His name was Jonah, also my son's name. He wanted me to play with him, play the Seals game with him-because I would "hit him hard enough!" This rather completely perplexed me. Accompanying this were images of a "sleeper" in Escher landscapes being swallowed by water, fingers of water. Extremely elaborate detailed images of this-like Escher drawings.

Well, both of these are now clear after getting ELF. The Jonah on the steps of the Seven Seals game is Strieber! Asking me, requesting that someone "hit him" hard enough to... beat him? Wake him up anyway. And, certainly, he's the Jonah swallowed by The Flood in the Cathedral basement, by the Revelation Leviathan-its UFO abduction priest!

UFOs Po Rabbits

Shall we play Seals? The trouble with the field you describe the rabbit being caught in is the field of school with a witch is that hidden in this card's lesson is a power relationship which is what a natural habit, a habit of nature would be. [Whew!!! Ed.] Nature, as it is presently morphed, is a power relationship between a Mother Superior and various lesser beings "learning lessons." This is way less a habit than a prison school. In the "card" developed from the teaching of this school you describe it is the rabbit's purpose to serve as the witch's patient. To be ill, to get sick, etc. When the rabbit gets uppity and tries to escape his role as the witch's economic boon the witch, Mother Superior, arranges a series of demonic torments for him until he is ready to reassume his role. Just like Strieber I might add-tormented by snakes and eagles until he's ready to play his role willingly, give up his notion of an independent mustang. All systems of divination are about the "right" relationship to the Mother Superior, or to Dad. The correct political relationship which is usually the Missionary position to the above. Sexual pun intended. We get fucked. They do the fucking.

Abducted By My Higher Self?

Correct-you are abducted by your higher self. But what exactly is going on here in dad's office! I would read this as you are the proper human sacrifice for your father to make in order to insure his success in... what? Like Abraham he has sacrificed you, laid you at the altar of ET. Meaning, I would assert, you are the source of ET. The you in the dream, your father's higher self, has been abducted upward to create the entire ganymede, UFO mystery. To propitiate the lightning.

The dream here with ET. at your feet is very much the dream Daniel substitutes for Nebachadnezzers lost dream in book of Daniel. The Titan which is an amalgamation of metals with feet of clay. Because the Titan has clay feet (story of creation in Genesis-that we are made from base materials) he is easily defeated by the rock which becomes a mountain. Meaning... how can we stand on the earth with any power when our higher self is extraterrestrial? The earth has been cursed in The Garden by Father. You wind up in a Frankensteinian lab beaming energy and thought... where? To create monsters? Where? To beam down the notion we are stitched together beings made from various second hand parts on a clay base? No wonder we fall apart!

BEING MINIMALLY CONSCIOUS I AM REWARDED

You are rewarded with one of Dad's playmates who will support the UFO bullshit. Yes? Same game Strieber is playing. In world religions universally, Psyche, or soul, soul of power is offered UP to The Heavens to propitiate the power system. With its lightning bolts for those who don't obey. I call this a school, the purpose of which is to teach us defeat, our place as sick beings to be cured from above forever.
