Maya appears
In tutorials with his teacher, the Abbot explained that he, too, was aware of the presence of the girl, but the master was unable to turn himself around within the dream realm with the hope of confronting her directly.
“I know she is there, and like you, I have a sense of knowing her. She is definitely a powerful force who has a desire to communicate. She may be from a ghostly realm, someone who has died and has some unfinished business on earth. She may be seeking our assistance to rectify an injustice, for example. But she prevents me from seeing her or from being able to communicate with her. This I don’t understand. She allows you to see her, which might mean that she only wants to communicate with you. For this possible reason, should she appear in later communications between us, I will put her at ease and explain that I have no desire in distracting her attention, and if she wishes, she should communicate with you directly without fear of interference from me.”
For the first time Maya is introduced to the reader.
I remember a story a long time ago about one Tibetan monk who would travel into different death realms to communicate with troubled souls in an attempt to help them on their journeys. I was young when I heard this but it stuck in my mind. There are many references in films of these 'troubled souls' that haunt our realm due to some unresolved issue and how they seek the help of gifted people with extra insight to seek resolution. I have no problem with spiritual belief. For my nature, it is completely natural. It is related to creativity, belief in what cant be seen but felt and experienced internally, requires imagination. The line between imagination and reality is as thin as you allow it to be.
As I have written in an earlier blog, the story revealed itself to me as if it was a film playing out before my eyes. In relation to this scene with Maya, she was seated in a large black room, so dark that the walls around her couldn't be seen. A shaft of intense blue light with the luminosity of diamonds fell on her from above falling on her jet black hair. Rinpoche is standing just away from her, head slightly bowed as if aware of her presence but without actually looking directly at her. All is silent. Gradually Maya reveals more about herself as she writes her journal. At some point she writes, 'I Maya.....', which becomes the title of the book.
