When the ancient Romans still had no concept of any after-life beyond the grave, and the Jewish Rabbi's still spoke vaguely of an underworld Sheol , the northern Celts had an intimate knowledge of the OtherWorld , a spiritual existence where the mortal body's' companion spirit enjoyed an eternal existence. Several years ago I started having fantastic dreams and vision-like experiences from time to time. These OtherWorld encounters affected me greatly, and I began a lengthy personal study and research into dreams and similar manifestations in an attempt to find some meaning to these experiences. Most of my research has now led me to reconsider the mythological formations of my own race of the Gaoidhel . I am convinced that through a synthesis of the dreams and visions we are experiencing today, and the ancient myths and legend of our fathers, a holistic paradigm of meaning and existence will emerge .
Nothing happens until somebody tells a story.
And not just my own dreams, but also the dreams which others have shared with me and which have made an impression in my heart. Perhaps there will emerge a thread of purpose and meaning like a path through a wilderness of tears and laughter, ecstasy and woe. These dreams and visions are the children of myself and others, and like any loving parent we have with them an attachment of love, fear and hope which is difficult to explain. I accept this. It is the ever un-enfolding flower of life itself, and it cannot be contained.
