\"Sanctuary2_1000\"<\/p>\n

I had driven to a strange building. There was a parking garage as part of the structure. It was in a city location somewhere, but it didn\u2019t feel like a place I had been in before. There was just a single non-descript door leading to the street. I drove into the multi-level indoor parking garage and parked.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what this place was, but it had many different rooms and facilities. I think there may have been clubs and different gatherings of people. Perhaps it was some sort of \u201csanctuary,\u201d and there may have been music facilities or a recording complex. It felt like some type of alternative lifestyle community.<\/p>\n

A Twisting Stairway, A Therapeutic Whirlpool<\/h2>\n

I followed a woman up a precarious sort of stairway. It was more like a series of structures and steps she was climbing, and she was helping me along after her. She would climb and would look back at me, and at one point I think she grabbed my hand.<\/p>\n

We reached a point there she said to me, \u201cJust jump!\u201d And she did and I followed her. We jumped into a strange swimming pool that was actually a slowly circulating whirlpool of foam or some type of substance that wasn\u2019t entirely wet. It was very pleasant and there were others going around in this odd structure. It was quite relaxing. We were all sort of sliding around this circular pool.<\/p>\n

The Sophisticated Guru<\/h2>\n

Then I recall being in a large room with other people, and I was trying to pick out the \u201cleader\u201d of this place to speak with him.<\/p>\n

I finally spotted the person in charge. He was a tall man with grayish hair, wearing some sort of ceremonial robe. In any case, he had a rather distinguished appearance. I asked him if there was a way I could stay there in exchange for helping to care for the place. I felt comfortable there and safe. It was a nice, upscale sort of environment and it felt like I had traveled from a distant location and had no place else to stay. I believe I told him this also.<\/p>\n

He said something that indicated that we would speak more about it, and I had the feeling it would be ok. I felt a sense of relief wash over me, as I felt I now had \u201ca home.\u201d<\/p>\nshare this: \"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"reddit\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"tumblr\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
