This thread is liberating for me. I have been labouring in darkness for a while. The sane candid and personal forthcoming articulation which inspires this investigation is a balm, and I feel the light now. This metaphysical perspective makes sense to me, as a way of describing my reality.

There is nothing wrong with fear per se, it's how you respond to it which determines its value.

The lady is an expression of your own feminine principle exteriorized. She is your intuitive investigation, and how you respond to her reinforces for you that you are indeed aware of the relevance to yourself of being awake. This is a Gnostic approach, no good or bad, just about knowing what you are feeling. As you journey in this lucid dream of life, ask yourself am I awake?

For instance, I stayed awake to read this thread. I resisted yawning and my great succour, the escape of sleep. My go to meditation for bliss.

It is the middle of the night for me. I awaken at 3:30 to see the stars and stand in the moons light outside, as per Sadhgurus recommendation. He says remarkable things will happen. He's right.

The masks in the astral I would opine are again exterior representations of your inner awareness. It's something that's on our mind. what is the effect of masks? Fascinating about the effect holding of energy for harvest through shock. Do we consciously hold our our to be deployed consciously, self aware and with conscious intent toward a desired outcome? Again, the little girl, your intuitive, feminine brain.

Most people are not consciously aware. That woman as an self individuated advanced consciousness, would seem disingenuously sincere. She has to deal with you at your limited level of awareness, compared to hers.

You probably deal with people in the waking state this way too, they are asleep and psychological techniques have to be used to trick them out of their blissful slumber into awakening. What else do you think Covid, and all this other nonsense, is all about?

Now its morning and I go to work as a driver. Although, I am happy now, the veil has lifted thanks to this thread, which appears synchronistically throughout my awaking over many years, like a deja vu. I have to pay attention. I was guided to become a truck driver.
