In the quiet moments of my dreams, I often find myself immersed in scenarios that echo the challenges and paradoxes of my waking life. Recently, I dreamt of handing over a 12.7 mm HMG—a symbol, not a weapon—to individuals who might not have been ready for such responsibility.
The man I handed it to wasn’t an ideal recipient by any societal measure. He represented the base of the pyramid, those living in the shadows of light, carrying both their potential and their unhealed wounds.
This dream stayed with me. It wasn’t about the literal fear of the consequences of my actions but rather the deeper realization of what it means to offer tools of transformation in a world where not everyone is ready—or willing—to wield them responsibly.
The Fear of Misunderstanding
In the dream, I found myself wiping the weapon clean of my fingerprints, a gesture loaded with symbolism. It reflected a deeply ingrained fear—not of what those individuals might do with the tool, but of reprisal from societal gatekeepers.
This fear stems from the possibility of being misunderstood, of having my intent misinterpreted. What if my act of giving is seen not as an effort to empower but as an act of disruption? What if the tools I offer are twisted into something destructive?
This fear is not foreign to me; it is one I’ve encountered many times on my path. Sharing insights and tools that challenge established norms often provokes resistance, suspicion, or even condemnation. It is a fear rooted in lived experience, and it demands courage to move forward despite it.
Understanding Readiness
The truth is, I cannot determine who is ready for the tools I share. TULWA—the path of interdimensional introspection and self-transformation—is not for everyone. It demands a level of introspection, resilience, and openness that not all are prepared to embrace.
Much like the ancient role of the shaman, this path is not one that can be forced or lightly entered. It requires courage, and more importantly, a willingness to confront and transform one’s inner darkness.
But readiness is not something I can assess for others. I am not here to gatekeep the path; I am here to share my experiences and insights, through my work and through Ponder. My role is not to guide one-on-one but to ensure that what I share is clear, accessible, and of a quality that sparks understanding and introspection.
The Risks of Transformation
There is always risk. Some will fall. Some will misuse the tools or insights they gain. We’ve seen this story play out in mythology, history, and even fiction—think of Anakin Skywalker, who, despite being trained as a Jedi, succumbed to his unresolved anger and fell into darkness.
Transformation is not without its perils, especially for those who carry heavy unresolved shadows. The more powerful the tools, the greater the potential for both light and destruction.
Yet, I choose to believe in humanity’s capacity for light. My own journey has shown me that most people, when given the tools and the understanding, will strive for clarity. They will walk the narrow and expansive path of inner transformation, seeking alignment with their higher selves and contributing to the collective awakening.
Sharing with Care
The dream also reminded me of the importance of context and caution. Offering tools without warnings, without the necessary understandings, can be like handing over a weapon without guidance.
It’s my responsibility to ensure that what I share carries the weight of my own experiences and reflections. I must be transparent about the challenges of this path and the responsibilities that come with accessing deeper layers of understanding.
TULWA is not a one-size-fits-all journey. It is not a quick fix or a spiritual shortcut. It is a deliberate, ongoing process of defragmentation and transformation, of reclaiming the light trapped in shadow and walking with intention through the complexities of existence. I strive to make this clear in everything I share. The tools are there, but the responsibility to use them lies with the individual.
Faith in the Path
Despite the risks, I hold faith in the path. Not because it is perfect, but because it is real. It is built on my own experiences, my own transformations, and my own failures. I know the power of these tools because I have wielded them myself, and I have seen the light they can bring when used with intention and integrity.
Some may falter. Some may misuse what they learn. But I trust that most will strive for clarity, for alignment, and for light. It is not my role to decide who is ready or not. My role is to share—to offer what I know with honesty and authenticity, and to trust that those who need it will find their way to it.
Choosing Courage Over Fear
The act of erasing fingerprints in the dream reminds me of the fear that lingers: fear of being judged, fear of being misunderstood. But courage, I’ve learned, is not the absence of fear—it is the willingness to act despite it.
The dream calls me to move beyond this fear, to embrace the possibility of misunderstanding, and to trust in the transformative potential of light.
This is the chance we take as Light Warriors. To deliver the tools, even when we cannot control the outcomes. To shine the light, even when it may be misunderstood. To believe in the capacity of others to transform themselves, just as we have transformed ourselves.
And in that, I find both purpose and peace.
