100 days of Darkness

Back in 2014/15 I spent 100 days meditating in darkness and one of the experiences that springs to my mind was whilst I was walking very slow, mindful walking. Each step would take around 20seconds pause, wait, balance and then step again. 4 steps would lead to a turn and then carry on facing the other way.

It’s a perfect exercise for a darkness retreat because you only need 2m in front of you so you’re safe from knocking into unseen objects. I did this for somewhere around 4/5 hours a day for 1 week a simple, engaging safe way to walk mindfully and stay sensorial, out of your mind and in your senses.

A few days in as I was walking I entered a dream that transported me to another time another place, ancient Egypt to be exact.

I materialise in a corridor in front of a man, his job is to admit people through to the main chamber where the King sits, an Annunaki king.

As I materialise I am warned that this is no place to play and muck around and if I go in it’s on my head meaning I am to be responsible for all my actions. I look to the right, up the stone walled corridor to the main entrance. I can see the very slightest edge of the Annunaki king, who is sitting by the door on his throne. I estimate him to be 10-12 feet tall as I approach the doorway but more than his physical size is his energy that surrounds his body, it crackles like electricity and I can actually see and hear its crackles. I goto walk closer and then I’m back in my darkened room, slowly walking again, getting ready to turn.

It would be years before I would see another electric, powerful energy body like that again, a tramp in Corfu who was not of this world.
