Rem Deities again!
In the vajrayana, I think, you're asked to go about not believing in anything. You've got the wrong end of the stick, so we have to start with an appreciation of our misapprehension or ignorance. You need to change the view.
What this deity yoga juju is doing, I think, is overlying this delusional view of reality with another delusion. Convincing yourself of the second delusion should weaken the previous one. We hope. Of course, this might make you completely crazy instead.
So you start maybe by telling yourself it's not true. You don't believe it. It's empty, in that technical buddhisty sense. Telling yourself it's a dream is supposed to help as well, especially when you're wanting to control dreams later on.
It's easy to see flatheids if you're surrounded by folk who don't even meditate. How about seeing deities? It sounds difficult. Prospective deities is far easier, especially in terms of evolution.
Is it kind of true that there was nothing of this universe before the Big Bang? Nothing? And then there was light and heat, or so they say (Where did ra bliss go?)(Was ra bliss there first?). So 15 billion years ago that was us. Just light and heat maybe. Hmmm? Try to imagine an eyeball developing from the earth. Try to imagine people growing out of the earth, which seems to be what's happened.
I think Hindus believe that we're all going to be enlightened beings at some point. Unfortunately, we have to go through millions of these moody incarnations. If you look at it in terms of the Big Bang being 15 billion years ago, this doesn't sound so daft. Now we've got eyeballs. What would we have given another 15 billion years?
I'm supposed to be trying to see deities instead of flatheids. Human beings are miraculous creatures if you think of them simply as human beings, without adding in souls or anything. Even as animals we're completely fantastic. So I'm trying this out. I don't want to be surrounded by flatheids. I want to live in wonderment!
I had a great day at work today. A much improved view!

I haven't read your post yet, I just wanted to give you some info. You could join tribes.net. Seriously, I did (not sure why), and the first person I came across was Andy, a deity like yourself.
I quote from his self-description: "Time as the artist as a divine emanation, bodywork, butoh, yoga, music of all spheres, thirteen moons.natural time meditation practices, garden culture, biospheric awareness, noospheric consciousness, dreaming states, ... spiritual counsellor, freelance Planet Art Network spore, master of accents, eyebrows and faces"
Sounds like he has experience in making money from bliss-type work.

OK I've read your post. Life in the Undergrowth is on here at the moment. I think you're suggesting that humans are as fascinating as spiders and bugs. It's a thought. It could help.
Glad you had a great day, hope your week is great!
Hey, I have a suggestion for a whole new spin on your juju. What about flatheid yoga? A whole new spin on your practice!
Hey Hotboy! Thought I would stop over and say you are great, thanks for the encouragement!
Capn Jambo! Welcome to bloggyland. Ra bliss is sometimes associated with God. This is silly as it must be associated with seretonin or whatever. But God is beyond concepts. So is whatever ... other than the Big Bang, if not before. Just a silly idea. God, then the Holy Ghostie Men then the eyeballs. Anyway, if you were going to get a nuclear weapon for Christmas, which one would you choose? Hotboy
