Swedish Bhairavi Says: "Lucidity & Safe Spaces.."

Lucidity is a power. It can mirror the power you hold in waking life.

Lucidity can be a practice. An inner reality-shaper. A safe space.

In societies where people face oppression or restriction, dreaming can become a place of reclamation.

Even though we use the name Swedish Bhairavi as a play and yes I was born in Sweden, some of you might now my ethnicity has Farsi origin. I have seen what the lack of agency, lack of expression, and lack of freedom does to an individual, and to an entire society. What happens to a person who feels they cannot express or manifest their life, work through their desires, or develop themselves?

Maha Siddha, Dakini Mandavya Sara, saw this deeply. She saw how women were living in highly restricted ways, not empowered toward self-realization. Their day-to-day routines became the very structure upon which society survived, but they often had no space to step beyond them.

Dakini Mandavya Sara was deeply passionate about people’s right to fulfilment, about the ability to reach their highest potential. She was an ally of truth, of raw expression, of knowledge, and also of humility, wisdom, and compassion.

There is something about the Dakini essence that is so enlightening.
It is fire. It is journey. It is wild. It is truth, naked.

When you show signs of wanting truth, She becomes your ally.
She will usher you in. She will train you, love you, test you, even smack you, just to help you transform.

Some of you may have read the Inspirational Guide, where we wrote about the “23 signs you are already on the Dakini Path”. One of those signs speaks of the aptitude of someone who is ready for transformation, someone who is not afraid of it, but wants it and even invites it. Of course there is much more to each of the signs but in short it could be described as a person who is ready to face the storm head on knowing they deserve truth, benevolence and grace.

Dakini Mandavya Sara Ji, saw lucidity, in dreams, in life, as somewhat of her birthright.
She claimed the right to explore, to search for herself, to express herself. And she was willing to face the consequences head-on. She forsake both riches and fame many times over. In her later life, she realized that these things could be done with more tact, with fewer outward ruffles.

In her childhood, no one was going to hand her freedom.

The society in which we live moves according to the inertia it was designed to follow. You have to take the reins. You might have to stand up. You might have to carve a path for yourself. In some places, that’s easier said than done.

So I mention the Iranian people...

If the outside does not align with you, if you sense that the outer world does not reflect your inner, and you are not ready to battle the outside...

Then go inward.

May you find solace when you close your eyes,
in the silence from absence of judgement, in the calm of your breath as you sleep.
May you find fulfilment in your dreams.
And may you take the chance to evolve.

So far, no one can take that ability away from you.

One day, perhaps even dreams will be monitored or censored.
This is, after all, Kali Yuga, and it is creative, to say the least.
Even the Siddhas have seen how various aspects of life have slowly been encroached upon, bit by bit.

Until then...

Every dream can be a sacred play.

With Love,

Swedish Bhairavi
