But I remember the initiation experience involved an account of the emanation of our world in terms of the Platonic Solids. Plenty of 'alternative' Egyptian scholars now think that they had this sort of geometric knowledge, but less so when she wrote it (I checked - it was the 1950s).<BR/><BR/>Susan Marie's comments on ancestor's: I have come across this idea before, and it seems to be separate from the 'past life' scenario. The writer Barbara Erskine has written a number of novels involving memories of other lives and repeating patterns, and I remember that she acknowledges a book called 'Healing the Family Tree' by Kenneth McAll on this theme (never read it). Anyone heard that wonderful song by Dory Previn, 'The Empress of China'? It is all about this theme.<BR/><BR/>Tony's film 'In the Dead of Night' - I saw this on TV about 40 years ago, and I have never forgotten it. I thought that it was a masterpiece too.Patrick Bookerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362015405625334989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-79176702574558827982008-05-06T23:30:00.001+01:002008-05-06T23:30:00.001+01:00Aloha Gary: Wasn't "Haitch" criticised a lot for c...<B>Aloha Gary</B>: Wasn't "Haitch" criticised a lot for certain inaccuries though, I seem to recall she was?Karl Le Marcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402028443489182100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-28456799337243443332008-05-06T23:30:00.000+01:002008-05-06T23:30:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Karl Le Marcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402028443489182100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-10352412450337402522008-05-06T23:27:00.000+01:002008-05-06T23:27:00.000+01:00Thank you, Gary; your postings have been enlight...Thank you, Gary; your postings have been enlightening and amazing.

Great posting and one that highlights the very itladian phenomenon known as "False Awakenings". As DREAMER rightly points out this is a subject that has been touched upon in earlier postings and is extremely itladian in its implications. One member of the blog, GROUNDHOG LIFE, has discussed with me in person his experiences of this phenomenon. It would be interesting to receive his opinions on this in due course.<BR/><BR/>I also think that SUSAN-MARIE's comment highlights the process behind the phenomenon.<BR/><BR/>I am also aware that Dr. Tony Obaye is doing research in a similar phenomenon, 'night paralysis'. Tony and I are both members of the Manchester branch of the Scientific & Medical Network. I know that he sometimes takes a look at this blog. I am sure that he would have some interesting things to say with regard to this phenomenon.<BR/><BR/>Finally, "Waking Life" is a great example but in my opinion the ultimate 'false awakenings' movie is the classic 1946 movie "In THe Dead of Night" directed by Charles Crichton and starring Mervin Johns. This great movie also contains another great itladian theme - the eternal recurrence.Anthony Peakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12199138770925114308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-54214601156160720072008-05-06T02:44:00.000+01:002008-05-06T02:44:00.000+01:00The theme of waking up from one dream only to find...The theme of waking up from one dream only to find yourself in another is explored in the film "Waking Life" -- highly recommended by several members of this blog. (In case you missed that particular discussion, scroll down a fair way and you should be able to find a at least one post about the film, and also about the "false awakenings" phenomenon.)<BR/><BR/>I've added the books you mentioned to my reading list -- they sound like they're right up my alley!Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066840629733573007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-27415432709377166992008-05-05T14:45:00.000+01:002008-05-05T14:45:00.000+01:00This raises all sorts of interesting questions and...This raises all sorts of interesting questions and reflections. I have found, when researching my own ancestry, that certain tasks that my predecessors failed at, were then begun anew, by later generations within my family. I have actually begun to see this pattern, ever more clearly: that things rise again, and return, in stunningly poignant ways. I don't hold much truck with the Ancient Egypt memories and such, but I do believe in the power of ancestry and a chain of events which weaves itself through decades, generations, and even centuries. Also, I have found themes which I have read in literature and philosophy both, coming into play in life, taking the form of action in ways that are awe-inspiring. And persons I have met decades ago "reappear" in the form of some new person met later, with similar history and traits, as if life were saying, "OK, let's take another look at this." I hope I have not strayed too much from the theme of your post; perhaps I have in details, but the underlying and supporting theory resonates roundly, I think, with what I am attempting to describe. And of course the interplay within daemon/eidolon communication, together with the whole secret animus of its dialectical process, is very much at the crux of all such wondrous events. . .SM Kovalinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137642942538595560noreply@blogger.com
