Astral Dragons Dwell In The Opening Of Reality

Funny (it seems to me now), that I have taken pen to paper with such intent. For most of my life this has been an extreemly difficult task - almost impossible.
Funny too, that I make no mistake about my many previous emphatic proclamations (in Town Crier fashion) - Hear ye, Hear ye "I am not a writer!!" I have the feeling that I am about to enjoy a more intimate relationship with words as I prepare to ingest just a few of them (pass the salt please).
Allow me to introduce you now to Episode #2 of my OOBE experience:
From the Journal of August 8 to August 11, 2005.
'Something' deeper than a 'little' scare had struck out on an intersecting course and it carried with it no warning. If you recall, I asked you to take note of the minimal impact and apparent temporary fear connected with my OOBE of August 2, 2005.
I was about to discover the mind I had become so securely comfortable with as being of the 'OPEN' type (surely with a firm grasp on reality) was due for a reality check.
I saw a part of this mind that possessed an independent free-will quite capable of closing up shop at a moments notice when confronted with the fear of experiencing the mysterious and guaranteed powerful unknown. (I would like to think this is a mechanism of self defense linked to an evolutionary process. But as my new awareness has shockingly pointed out to me, what I would 'like' to think has little to do with the truth).
I was a deliberate explorer insistant on setting down my own trail of tracks, not likely predisposed to being lifted along with no possibilty of contact between earth and feet (no tracks).
The 'nice and wonderful' after effects of my Out Of Body Experience were about to be slam-dunked (!) straight through the Black Hole net of Reality - the Whole Reality - and Nothing but the Reality, whether I 'liked' it or not.
I ask you to imagine this every day comparison: You are traveling down the road in new territory guided by your map. Street signs are clearly marked pointing the way. You make your turn onto the RIGHT street. As fate would have it, mischievous souls played a trick (or treat depending on your point of view) and 'switched' the signs. You 'think' you know where you are, but do you?
This is the manner in which I drifted into the Astral realm as I carried with me a map from a different place. A map that could have justifiabley claimed 'Beyond this point there be Dragons'! It seemed to matter little, for I had arrived at a most fantastic place!! And even though the scenery in this Astral realm appeared unfamliar, I had the inkling that this Astral realm had long been familiar with 'me'.
It took just a few days for my previous "in stride" attitude to crescendo into something much more. To my surprise, amazement and pleasure, a new awareness arrived on the myriad of 'scenes' taking the stage in and around me. I pursued it with active intent. (I believe this pursuit opened up even other avenues which I will report on in the weeks to come).
I contacted an associate and mentor of mine that has experience in these realms. He said I was "tripping the light fantastic"!!
Indeed, as the days moved on I did in fact take in all manor of intensified sensory perceptions of light, music, sound vibrations, and colors - all seemingly drawing together to form a new 'picture show'. Going beyond the old adage of 'seeing things in a new light', I can relate that it is more like seeing 'things' I have never seen. I seem to have drifted into a new world - which would account for the awe and difficulty of describing it.
I described the following to him in my journal of August 8, 2005:
"The idea of 'tripping the light fantastic' as you call it (which is more than just an idea to me now) is many things. Thrilling? Yes. Exhilerating? Yes. Comforting? Yes. And many more. But above all, it is the steady, thriving, humming, being of it all that I seem to be floating on. It is life, only better. Some cancer survivors I've spoken to agree that life is somehow better after their death defying episode. This is similar to that, but intensified by several octaves." (As of this writing today September 4, 2005, I am only just beginning to have an actual awareness of the harmonics that I previously read about but did not experience).
And it is true, that this sensory crescendo of light and sound is more transformational in scope than I was able to judge when I wrote my first account of my OOBE (One Whisper-And Then).
And so dear reader, this is how you and I have arrived at the doorstep of Reality - floating on a seemingly benevolent sea of wonderful new light.
In the next episode, I will introduce you to the Astral Dragons I met that dwelt in the Opening of Reality I drifted into by chance (or was it something more than chance?). They are accompanied by their companions of ego and denial. I will show them to you as surely as they showed 'my' fear to me -
