The dream was strange and intense, with sound being an integral part.
It wasn’t about water being transferred from a large container to many smaller vessels, but that’s almost as close as I can get to an earthly equivalent. For ‘water’ read ‘segments of information’ and perhaps that’s it. Then there was that oddly insistent noise that was something like the hissing of compressed air or liquid being squirted each time a transfer happened. That process was being repeated again and again, until the urgency of it jolted me awake, the sound echoing around for a few moments longer than the rest of the dream.
In a way I can’t begin to explain, in my waking world, the sound had become an instruction:
Take dictation. Important!
I rolled over, flicked on the bedside lamp, glanced at the clock (4.30 am) and picked up my pen and notebook. Obediently, I wrote down the following:
Asherings: a themed set of whisperings from Asher to carry with you or meditate upon. Set of 15 + title.
Dictation finished. Book closed. Light off. Back to sleep.
“What was all that about?” I asked Asher, the next time we connected telepathically. “I assume you had a hand in it.”
He told me he’d been involved. He added that it was a great idea. He reminded me that several months earlier he’d suggested that our next venture — once I’d completed the manuscript for our second book — would be ‘different’. He’d asked me to first read some science books at the very edges of my comprehension level and to then be prepared to write a simplified version of what had gone before, using my new insights.
My initial reaction to both tasks had been less than enthusiastic. Asher Lite? Beyond Words for TikTok? I found the idea rather depressing. And then there were the physics books to battle my way through. I groaned. Up to this point, we’d always been pretty aligned in our intentions, but now I had doubts.
Having waded through my reading list, however, and been drawn far beyond my comfort zone, I started to understand how the brief summaries of key points authors had sometimes provided at the end of chapters were a lifeline for me when it came to grasping or consolidating complex and unfamiliar information. I needed Quantum Physics Lite!
Now I understood what Asher and the dream had been showing me. Books filled with metaphysical teachings (or quantum mechanical teachings, for that matter) are a perfect fit for some, but a step too far for others.
My mind flashed back to people — particularly those who are dyslexic, ADHD or otherwise neurodiverse — who have told me they struggle to find the reading stamina or concentration needed to plough through an entire book. Others have said they wished there was a resource of ‘Asher sayings’ somewhere. Perhaps there was something in this…
I was being asked to take information from the books, the blogs, the newsletters and the old notebooks of Asher material, collect it into themed sets of short quotes and sell them in packs of 15. Even the sales blurb had been composed for me!
Maybe people would like to have a handy set of Asher quotes to carry around with them, to remind themselves of what he’s been telling us for years or to gain extra insights about this guy they’d heard me quoting in a podcast, even if books weren’t their thing.
Opening a new Word page on my laptop, I realised that a table of eight boxes fitted neatly onto a single page, with space for around 40 words in each. That meant two pages allowed space for 15 quotes and a title. Even in my dreams, it seems, Asher has the logistics sorted!
All that remained was for me to hunt through the material and find suitable sets of quotes.
At the time of writing, I have compiled 3 sets themed around the subject of Light and The Shift in Consciousness, Dreams, and Conscious Creation. Others will follow as I locate the right extracts.
Certainly, I’ll be selling ribbon tied packs of Asherings along with the other merch on the bookstalls I hold in venues around Somerset, UK. By synchronicity, though, I’ve recently set up a very modest online shop, selling digital versions of various Asher Tree merchandise worldwide. These cards fit perfectly there.
Thanks for reading how the Asherings are coming into being. I hope people will still choose to read our books, but should you want a peep at the sets of cards (which contain several quotes from the forthcoming book), the link is here: https://ko-fi.com/jeskerzen/shop
