Mental Health and Spirituality
Here’s How I Uncovered the Esoteric Interpretation of “God is Watching from a Distance.”
Reimagination of possibilities for peace, health, and happiness with insights from a lucid dream for the new year
My friend Jeremy died last year on New Year’s Eve. I shared my tributes in a story in January 2022. It is the anniversary of his departure today. He was a wise centenarian who lived over a hundred exciting years on this earth as a deaf and mute man but highly intelligent and intuitive.
Even though the title of this story sounds religious, it is not about any religion or religious practices. It reflects my introspection and aspiration for collective peace, health, and happiness in 2023.
Despite not considering myself a traditionally religious individual, I hold great respect for all religions and have spent decades studying the core messages of some of them with an open mind.
Through integrating scientific research and spiritual narratives, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and understanding about holistic health and well-being for a fulfilling life.
The insights and perspectives gained from these valuable teachings have had a profound impact on my appreciation of the importance of balancing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
My friends and family members characterize me as a multi-religious person as I celebrate holidays of every religion in Australia, the multicultural country where I live.
It is a pleasure for me to extend my good wishes to the followers of various religions during their festive occasions. The joy of others has a positive impact on my own state of mind and uplifts my spirit.
Although some may classify me as multi-religious or spiritual, I consider myself to be a highly perceptive individual with a curious intellect, profound aspirations, and sound physical and mental health.
Purpose of this Story
This story summarizes my thoughts and feelings about a recent lucid dream, including an interpretation of it from an expert with a background in Jungian dream analysis.
Lucid dreaming is a state of awareness in which the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming and has some control over the dream’s content and direction.
I chose to have a lucid dream in which I could communicate with Jeremy about the anniversary of his passing. Due to the pandemic, I could not properly say goodbye or attend his funeral, and I did not know where he was buried.
I was curious about his spiritual journey after his death, as he had faced the challenge of being deaf since birth but lived a whole and joyful life despite his disability.
I have long held a great admiration for his strength and fortitude. Upon his passing, I experienced a profound sense of grief and longing. Despite this, I am comforted by the belief that he has found peace in death, as he conveyed to me in my dream.
Start of the Dream
The dream started in Jeremy’s imaginary grave, bringing uncontrollable tears streaming down my face. I didn’t cry when visiting the cemeteries before, but I knew I was crying in this dream.
I was aware of my dream, just like previous lucid dreams. I found myself standing in a beautiful, peaceful meadow where Jeremy’s cemetery resided.
The sun slowly sank below the horizon, its warm rays casting a golden hue over the landscape. As I looked around, I saw Jeremy approaching me, his face aglow with a bright and joyful smile.
His presence filled me with a sense of peace and happiness, and I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to connect with him once again.
Jeremy appeared with heavenly voices in this dream.
“G’day, Mehmet,” Jeremy said with a warm and loving voice.
“It’s great to see you again. I hope you are well and have found joy and purpose in your life since we last spoke. Remember, you are strong and capable of overcoming any challenges. Keep pushing forward and never lose sight of your dreams.”
I couldn’t believe my ears. He had been deaf and muted his entire life, but now he could hear and speak perfectly. “How is this possible?” I asked, still in disbelief.
As the cinematic chorus repeated the lyrics, “God is watching from a distance,” the sound washed over me, evoking a strong sense of the divine and reminding me of the ever-present presence of a higher power.
Jeremy smiled. “Death has a way of changing things,” he said. “I’m not sure how to explain it in your language, but I can hear everything from the universe now. It’s like all the voices of the cosmos are within reach.”
I became speechless. Jeremy had always been a spiritual person. Now it seemed that his faith had been rewarded in a way I could never have imagined. Was the divine testing him?
As we walked through the meadow, as if we were floating over the grasses, he introduced me to various heavenly creatures, each with their own unique abilities and purposes. The angelic chorus kept repeating the lyrics, “God is watching from a distance.”
Golden-winged angels sang hymns of praise to the divine, their voices resounding with the words “God is watching from a distance.”
As we marveled at the wonders of this miraculous place, Jeremy confided in me a profound secret about the universe: “God is always present, watching from a distance and caring for all beings with unconditional love and compassion.”
Jeremy said, “I always believed that my deafness was a test from the Divine when my soul manifested as a human being on earth. I think the Divine wanted me to find my own way, to discover the beauty and meaning of life on my own terms.”
When I was in the middle of a lucid dream, I felt a deep sense of peace and understanding wash over me. I realized that life and death are not separate but two sides of the same coin, equally important and interconnected.
As I set out on my journey, I felt the gaze of every divine being upon me, guiding me toward a state of enlightenment.
Though the term “enlightenment” held different connotations for me, the chorus of celestial voices repeated mantras of “God is watching from a distance,” imbuing my path with a sense of divine guidance and protection.
As I continued my exploration of this esoteric domain with Jeremy, I was struck by strong emotions upon seeing another dear friend of mine, who had also passed away, Janine, who served as a psychotherapist for half a century.
Janine had died several months before Jeremy’s passing last year. The sight of her filled me with a sense of overwhelming grief.
“I can’t believe you’re both here on this celestial ground,” I said, tears welling up in my eyes again. I continued, “it’s so good to see you both again in human form. You visited me three times in my dreams since you departed my world.”
“We’re always with you,” Janine said, her voice soft and emphatic as usual. “Even though we’re not physically present in your world, we’re never far away.”
Jeremy nodded with a thoughtful smile. “Death is just a transition,” he said. “It’s a passage from one realm to another, from the earthly to the spiritual.”
Janine also smiled with an inspired look. “It’s not as frightening as you might think,” she said. “In fact, it can be quite beautiful and liberating. There are no more physical limitations or struggles here as you perceive in your world, just a sense of peace and freedom in your language.”
During our conversation, Janine shared her own experiences of life after death, describing the wondrous landscapes and creatures she had encountered, the loving guidance of her spirit guides, and the profound insights and wisdom she had gained.
As I listened, I felt that I had heard these stories and had those images before, as if they were scripts from the religious texts I had read. The awakened part of my brain during the lucid dream suggested that this may have been the case.
Suddenly a thought came to me. I abruptly asked Janine, “Have you seen Twitch lately?” As I tributed in a recent story, Twitch (Stephen Boss) sadly left this world on 13 December 2022.
A paradoxical moment struck my psyche when Janine took a deep breath looking a little concerned. She started talking with a melancholic voice.
“It’s not always easy, though. There are challenges and lessons to be learned on this side as well. I can’t tell you the details now, but overall, it’s a place of love and growth. It is a place where we can truly be ourselves and fulfill our spiritual potential. Plus, you can see that — God is watching us from every dimension.”
I listened in awe, feeling a sense of hope and inspiration within me. But Janine was hiding some truth from me, unlike her eagerness to teach me everything she knew when she was alive. The singing voice of the chorus, “God is watching from a distance,” got intensified.
As Jeremy and Janine began to float among the millions of heavenly creatures, I realized that it was time to say goodbye to my friends and end my intentional dream. I aim to ask Jeremy about Twitch in my next dream.
This dream had been a precious gift, a glimpse into the mysteries of the afterlife through my subconscious mind. I was grateful for the love and guidance they had symbolically given me during this meditative experience. But, so many aspirations in my psyche remained uncovered.
After the Dream
Upon waking, I felt a renewed sense of purpose and a new direction for the coming year. The experience of receiving a precious gift, a glimpse into the unknown parts of the universe through a lucid dream, was truly incredible.
I reaffirmed my commitment to living my life to the fullest, guided by blessings, subconscious memories, intuition, intellect, and the love of those who have passed on before me.
A few hours later, I made the decision to call my mentor and dear friend Henry, a retired psychiatrist and long-term meditator whom I introduced in my stolen car with a passport story last year.
I asked him whether I might have genuinely connected with the souls of my friends during my dream. Wearing his scientific hat, Henry responded, “I can’t be sure, but you probably did NOT.”
His interpretation was that I connected with my higher self, creating a realistic story of my thoughts and feelings about these individuals and the recent death of Twitch.
I lost some friends and colleagues during Christmas and New Year times which seems to be shared globally as The Most Joyful Time of the Year Is Associated with an Increased Suicide Rate, Paradoxically.
Henry believed that my intuition connected with my intellect in an altered state of mind and created a new reality.
My mentor Henry is like me. He does not follow an established religion, but he respects religious people. He lives a meaningful life that he designed and customized with his intellect, esoteric knowledge, and intuition.
Here’s How he interpreted the repetition of “God is watching from a distance” lyrics.
As Henry studied Carl Jung’s philosophy and dream interpretations focusing on the collective consciousness theory, I asked Henry what “God is watching from a distance” lyrics represented in my dream.
Henry believed that I was being protected by my higher self, my subconscious mind, which can inform and guide my lower self in an altered state of mind, such as during a lucid dream.
He suggested that it was possible that my subconscious mind had conjured the image of my friends to provide me with guidance and comfort during these turbulent times and transformative experiences.
Henry mentioned that my subconscious might have suggested that particular challenges that may appear daunting to the human mind may not necessarily pose the same level of difficulty for divine beings, more technologically advanced, or intellectually evolved species that we have yet to encounter in the universe.
Leveraged from Jung’s and other philosophers, his point suggests that there might be other intelligent beings in the cosmos which may possess capabilities or perspectives that surpass our own. It also implies that our own limitations and challenges may not be universal.
This is an idea that warrants further exploration and contemplation, as it has the potential to challenge and expand our understanding of the cosmic consciousness, universe, and our place within it. I will touch on this thought-provoking point in another story next time.
Conclusions and Takeaways
After each lucid dream or a more extended meditation session, I perceive the world differently, feeling a more profound sense of purpose and a new direction in my life.
I believe that the symbolic voices and visions of my friends, represented by my subconscious mind, have shown me the way to my lower self, which often struggles with worldly challenges.
I gain similar insights through long meditation sessions, though they are not as emotionally impactful as the effects of a lucid dream.
Looking back on my decades of meditative experience, I know that my higher self has given me a great gift.
I have been given a glimpse into the mysteries of the universe through the power of my subconscious mind and the opportunity to connect with my loved ones, whether dead or alive, in a unique way.
As I continue to explore my meditative journey, I find myself increasingly drawn to the teachings of various traditions and philosophies that teach me the power of optimism, a growth mindset, and the importance of living in the present moment, as I do in a flow state.
Practicing mindfulness and gratitude has shown me the power of forgiveness and the importance of letting go of resentments, allowing me to transform envy into admiration.
Through meditation, lucid dreaming, working in a flow state, and using other mindfulness practices, I experience a more profound sense of connection and purpose in my life and feel more at peace with myself and the world around me.
Reflecting on my health and well-being journey, I have come to an understanding that meditative practices and lucid dreams might be turning points in our ability to express our thoughts and emotions healthily.
These practices might show the way forward and help us understand the perceived nature of the universe and our place within it.
I feel blessed with perceptive intellect, strong intuition, empathy, and compassion for others. The attributes enhanced my meaningful connections and improved my mental health.
The key takeaway of this story is:
As long as we keep our hearts, minds, and souls open and our faith strong, regardless of the religion or philosophy we follow, we may be able to connect with the hidden voices of the cosmos embedded in our subconsious mind and the love and wisdom of the divine through our higher selves.
I also believe that Everything Is “Figureoutable” as I have demonstrated this reality multiple times in my life. I wish you all peace, health, happiness, and miracles in 2023.
