CHEESE DREAMS: STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR AN ASTRAL ADVENTURE<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

like all aspects of magick, psychology and unconscious mind<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

operating always (if not within your awareness then without it)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(whether or not you agree to consciously recognize their power<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

or their profound effects) so for the most mundane the solution<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

is simply to dream, and cheese can help even the most stoic<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

find new illuminating truth within their nightly visions<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the whole thing is really very simple like writing or anything else<\/span><\/p>\n

start with your favorites and expand your taste from there daily<\/span><\/p>\n

with dinner, that part is of particular importance for dreaming<\/span><\/p>\n

(though more general consumption of cheeses of course<\/span><\/p>\n

can’t hurt even in the form of comedy since our darkest fears<\/span><\/p>\n

require always the sacrifice of our solemnity in the form of a sacred giggle)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

at first there may be a field or a forest (if you\u2019re lucky it will be known to you<\/span><\/p>\n

a space you feel comfortable in the dark and the wood where you are safe)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

there may be lights along the treeline and deep into the mossy valley.<\/span><\/p>\n

follow them. don\u2019t wonder or worry about it too much. after all,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

you\u2019re only dreaming. some people call them faeries, the lights that is<\/span><\/p>\n

but ultimately calling them anything but friendly is a common mistake<\/span><\/p>\n

(which is of course why I\u2019m warning you in advance)<\/span><\/p>\n

if you manage to be polite they\u2019ll show you the river<\/span><\/p>\n

if you fuck up before you get there I\u2019m not sure how to help either<\/span><\/p>\n

all fair warnings in advance. but didn\u2019t you say you were itching<\/span><\/p>\n

for a glorious adventure?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the river can take you anywhere you\u2019ve been and anywhere you\u2019ll ever go<\/span><\/p>\n

stadiums, glass malls, towers and renaissance towns<\/span><\/p>\n

fields, forests, circuses and glittering cities<\/span><\/p>\n

find another river to get back again<\/span><\/p>\n

ask the lights if you get lost<\/span><\/p>\n

it really is that simple<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(oh, one last thing. If the cities are falling apart, repair them.<\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>If you see an airplane, don\u2019t get on it. your world is mutable,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

requiring your presence to exist. just trust me on that one)<\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>(and I almost forgot! this is the most important, so don\u2019t forget,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

if you see the dark obsidian stone citadel on a barren mountain,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

if the sky is dark and cracking apart from an electrical storm,<\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>go back the way you came and RUN. sure, The War is a lie<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

always has been, always will be, but we die regardless. I mean<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

probably not you, right, but just to be safe. it’s only a dream after all.)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
