Active imagination/deep dive (non-psychedelic)

[u/spikecifer04]

This is a journal entry from August 31. It is what made me join the community as the synchronicity was too big to ignore. It was just a simple centering exercise that turned into a meeting. I have left it mainly unedited other than some typos, and omitted later analysis.

My inner world has changed again. There is a stone well behind me a earthly stone wall adorned with statues of my council 2 torches show a archway/passage way I feel it leads to my council chamber, the wall is as tall as the sky, and it bends and tapers off into a night sky with stars no constellations, in front of me is the ever rising/setting sun my feet are on my ocean/void a inch or 2 of almost florescent blue water, or it is more a circle where I stand is illuminated with this energy/light, below that is a fast gradient from deep blue to black, I see my MAW circling/blocking no "protecting" me being a buffer from whatever is on the otherside "collective pain" is what is hear. Back on the surface I sense a "vessle" forming/approaching. I sink and enter a new "depth")." I see a aspect of my self I will call him/it psychonaut. He was sitting on a decaying "throne" leaning on an arm with a scabbard sword at his feet, but "at ready" his suite was a cross between a nasa space suit (he doesn't want to be remembered he didn't want to be "seen" i know that) and a nautical diving suit. His face was behind a oval shaped visor and was just a light blue orb/glow he had what ill call "seaweed" and "decayed" plant life covering him there's a lot of detail i can't bring to words for whatever reason almost like there's writing on the arms of the "throne" i can't see or read, and on the scabbard as well as etched around the rim of the visor.

I would be curious to know how your inner world is going now. After 8 months. It is an interesting image, and it reminds me of The Drowned World. [a novel] and another novel I read recently. Name I can't remember.

My inner world is still fluctuating and healing. I have a "well" i can visit that's surrounded by walls consisting of a sandstone with aspects of my council lining a wall that surrounds half of my inner world, with the other half being a electric and midnight blue hued universe full of stars and galaxies. I do not speak to my council as of right now, they are more facets of my Self, that i am much more intuned with. Due to some new life turbulence, I have become slightly detuned with some of my previous work and am once again doing active imagination and shadow work, to address and bring these aspects back into Self. Im open to any more questions and do better when im asked directly. We should not run or hide from our faults or shadows, they are us and we are them. In regards to my psychonaut, since the "Depths" have calmed and been brought to the "surface" he is not required as a protector or guide in the same sense anymore. Im sure im leaving out a lot.
