Hello , I would like to react to your experience with my perception of your description . Ultimately , it is your experience and I respect that my interpretation may be flawed but please consider it, thanks .
I was walking along the top of the craggy cliff into which was built/carved balconies and pillars, Greek style. The stone of the pillars and indeed the cliff itself was very light/sandy colour.
There are a number of temples as you describe in Shamballah .
The golden sunset effect seems to be a recurring thing with me as anyone will know who has read my posts in the past, and I keep getting drawn to it for some reason.
This imho , sounds like a colour stream . All similar realms will have the same vibration ie the archives , libraries , Hall of Records and Museums are all akasha . Caves are all crystal . Golden has to do with alchemy and raising the vibration to expand the consciousness . The golden colour stream includes the Golden Chamber of Melchiezedek , the Golden Bowl , The Golden Heart of the Mystic , The King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid etc . These places are historically known for mystic initiations .
...After a few moments I zeroed in on a small group of maybe 3 or 4 people below me...to my suprise they appeared to be children. Maybe 12 years old or thereabouts? or at least, that is how they appeared.
Increasing numbers of children are projecting in dreamstate with a greater recall and lucidity . The children tend to be in groups of vibrational state .
... one of them greeted me by saying 'hello there Bob', which I found a bit strange to say the least, especially seeing how I'm called Doug,
One of the well known teachers there is known as Astral Bob , he is an aspect of Robert Bruce which he sometimes recalls in the physical state . I have seen him teaching 10 year olds there for example . I presume you might have some characteristics in common with him perhaps your gender , height and age .
... guided toward a particular location of person was very interesting too and I am not sure what is controlling that.
Your guide can be beside you invisably prompting you towards your spiritual goal . Your higherself /guardian angel can unite and this can become the highest source which begins to author the curriculum or facilitate it . The magician also can develop in the human energy body the ability to find another in the dreamstate by will . The energy signature of another projector will ease linking in the RTZ or Astral but it is more difficult Imho , to locate a projector in the higher planes .
I did express a desire to meet a guide but after that I just went with the pull. The people I let, while friendly enough, didn't seem to fit the bill,
I feel that you are lead there to teach . Buddha says eachl of us are both students and teachers of all we meet on the path . Imho , you are one of many indigo age projectors who attend nightly dreamstate as a student of the masters and a teacher of young live projectors . In time , these young projectors become our teachers . I feel this allows the expansion of the human consciousness to slowly evolve as humans build up the light quotient of the energy body .
This was a great recall Gandalf .
A group of us meet online twice a week . There is no cost . We project in light trance to the higher planes in mystic projection of consciousness . The group will generally be three to seven people each session . Attendance is casual but we ask that each person try to hook up once a month .We meet on Mirc and TeamSpeak concurrently . Anyone interested in mystic projection is welcome .
