A few years ago I was attending a yearly Spiritual Retreat at a camp in the country. I was staying in a mudbrick building in a 4 bed dorm room and during the night I had an upsetting experience. I was in the same room in my dream state and I saw that there was an awful creature in the bed with me under the covers and I got into a state of sheer terror. Luckily I had immediately the awareness to call upon my spiritual Master, and he rose up from a bed on the other side of the room. Casually my Inner Master walked over and shone his torch all around my bed even shining it under the bed as I told him what I had discovered. He didn't seem overly concerned but on the job assisting me in this situation in a good kindhearted way. I felt reassured that he was with me and suddenly the Light found this ghoulish looking creature and out of the corner of my eye I saw it flee out the door of the bedroom. I was so relieved.
It took me a while once I awoke to deal with the emotional fright of the experience, and during the day while experiencing spiritual workshops it all dissolved into Love. I realised that I had an experience of the Inner Master's presence always with me and lending a hand should I panic and need some spiritual help. He didn't seem too worried or alarmed in any way and just dealt with the creature. Maybe the creature was simply a creation of my own consciousness. I was grateful that I had called out my Spiritual Master's name so urgently and that it was an automatic response and this told me I knew on a deep inner level that the Master is my spiritual protection anywhere in any circumstances. I was now more mindful of buildings having some non physical residents that need clearing out. All day I left a clearing and protection audio to clear the place.
I have been back to this great camp many times now and this was my only spooky encounter. While at the Spiritual Retreat its a time for deep inner cleansing and renewal and spiritual growth. I was aware this dream experience was an opportunity of overcoming my fear of such things and fully realising that I am always looked after as my Inner Spiritual Master is in the room with me wherever I am, I am always with you.
