A strange building

[whitefox15]

I was trying out a new meditation techinique I developed were I fall through "Layers" of conscoius state veiwed as water. Each layer is a sheet of water with nothing underneath it execpet the next layer fifty feet down. The water looks dark and tepid and the sky is grey all around. I fall face first through each layer repeating "I'm falling deeper" as I go. Strangley the bottom isn't my subconcoius, but some In-Between place. I don't know how I know this, but everytime I land at the bottom Its solid, but I can feel the next layer beneath me somewhere. Strangley enough my visions gets pulled north. don't know how I know its north either. In that direction is a huge golden city. Its so far away space gets distroted. Like how you can see some far off place but no matter how long you travel, you can never reach it? Its that far away. As soon as I try to muster the mental power to move towards it I lose focus and wake. The act of trying to move towards it seems to "wake" me. Still the city is magnificent and if I ever want to remember it its up close even though I was no were near it. Also the more I reminisce about it the more detailed it becomes.... but I can only see the top half, as if the earths curviture is blocking my view. Anybody have a clue about this place?

? The Land Under-wave.  Tir Nan Ogg

Holy moly! Someone actually replied! So what is Tir Nan Ogg? I would google it but I always like live sources better. More relevant less infuriating.

Perhaps an interpretation of Avalon, or Atlantis. Given its location, and its nature, I would have to say it is an Avalon meets Atlantis, given that it IS Celtic, yet under deep waters of a crystal lake... I would suggest looking into it for yourself.

That's what I was thinking. Golden city, in-between. Makes sense.

Tir na nOg. Gaelic spelling mixes up capitals and lower case letters without apparent rhyme or reason.

Anyway, Tir na nOg is supposedly one of the Otherworlds in Irish mythology, ".... a place beyond the edges of the map .... an island far to the west."

Your vision also sounds like it could be one of the Golden Cities, Gorias, Murias, Falias and Finias, of Celtic mythology. Try to get hold of a copy of the book, "Journey of the Bard; Celtic Initiatory Magic", by Yvonne Owens (Horned Owl Publishing, Victoria, Canada, 1997). It's a bit obscure, but as far as I know it's still in print. If you can't get it through Amazon or Chapters you could try direct from the publisher,
    Horned Owl Publishing,
    3906 Cadboro Bay Road,
    Victoria, B.C. V8N 4G6 Canada.
