Awesome that you guys all responded so strongly to the vision of avalon, it demonstrates that it is a land still close by in all our imaginations. I guess we all love to visit it. I think you have all seen vastly more than just glimpses and I hope to clarify why I say that.
Exactly Gemini.
You have also sensed the direction I wanted to go with this.
The fictional or the imagination is very real in the sense that it reveals to us the presence of options. Without it you're an automaton, with infinite imagination you'd be unlimited in your options.
Did you notice that imagination has structure? These myths like Avalon the fairies or the aboriginal dream time keep coming back in various shapes. Perhaps this means if we move our imagination to travel through the psychoverse we end up in certain areas more often, probably because they're close by. And stories along the same archetypal lines keep coming up. It's where we go to mine the content for our fiction
The fairy realm is a part of our psychoverse which we have excluded from daily existence. To do this we created antagonists that keep reminding us that the imagined is.. duh.. imaginary, and that imaginary is only analogy, not reality.
This is how we keep the worlds separated. But the separation isn't perfect, this realm is very present in our works of fiction. Practically every human tribe in this world has it's own version of what we would call a fairy. Fairy is an ever present part of our collective subconscious. How could you hide something from soul if it is part of soul? What we see in our imagination is often not real but pre real. Not everything we see makes it into 3d, but everything in 3d was pre real once and it was imagined before it became manifest or created. The imagined is a meta reality.
With our inner guide we already know what the story is, that is why we like the images that express these myths so much. They remind is of what we yearn for... But with it also comes the perceived loss. The fall from Eden. Perhaps being a wanderer is a myth based on this yearning. There is certainly analogy there.
That 4d shadowy fairy realm is right here, and so it's no wonder that people who are raising their energy are experiencing her. Its like questioner suggested co-located with earth. It's right here right now, and we know it by heart because the heart deeply yearns for it. What if we expressed our gratitude for having found it and ignore the inner antagonists for a while? Maybe our 3d world is but a distorted expression of oneness. But it is still expressing the same oneness as our imagination. Neither can be irrelevant.
Whenever something that arises in your imagination catches your fancy. It's like a fairy whispering. By following it you approach the land of the fairies. Some call it "Following your enthusiasm". It doesn't matter that there is no apparent connection between the imagined and your goals... It's synchronicity, not logic at work there.
I discovered some of this in conversation with my imaginary friend. He said that the imaginary is real.. But then again.. He would say that wouldn't he?
I second the Mist of Avalon books (book series, movies, miniseries, t-shirts and mugs
) "Finding neverland" is also a brilliant movie. "K-pax" too, but you all already know that one
