The Swamps
"I am an unattached soul, and I am everywhere!"
-------------------
I immediately sat in Zahid's room and was silent, while tidying my things.
Not long after, Zahid came with two people into the room.
"Brother Ejh this is my coach brother"
Zahid explained while pointing to the two people next to him.
"Hello, I'm Ejh. Zahid's brother"
I explained briefly.
"Looks like you two"
Added one of the two people.
I don't know what his name is. What is clear is that there are young and somewhat aged. Maybe twenty or so.
And what I thought again was, when I shook hands with those two. I can't read both of them at all.
The older one has a higher aura. Hmmm, I mean his aura is stronger. But I don't know what kind of abilities he has.
The other one has a strong aura too but not as strong as the other one.
I sat back next to my bag while charging my cellphone.
Here I like to keep cats so yes there are cats everywhere.
Sleep next to the cat.
I leaned my head against the wall while listening to the children who were reciting the melodious strains of reciting the Qur'an.
I slowly closed my eyes, and absorbed everything that was there.
The only thing on my mind is water.
Water
Water
And Water.
Don't know why, as if the whole hostel's area is water. What does it mean?
I closed my eyes and tried to go deeper.
The chanting of the verses of the Qur'an which was read by the children began to faintly start softly in my ears.
It's getting harder and harder to hold my eyes.
I finally surrendered myself to the darkness that was approaching me.
All silent...
All that could be heard in my ears were water droplets dripping slowly.
I open my eyes.
And everything is dazzling, I squint my eyes with a beam of light coming in.
From everything white, gradually it became clear what I saw.
Water.
I was in the middle of the water that stretched so wide...
More specifically, swamps.
I am standing on a large lotus leaf that floats in the middle of this swamp.
This lotus is not just one, but many floating in this swamp...
Not only lotus but also water hyacinth.
I look around, everything is wide. And I have not seen any land on the edge of this swamp.
I tried to move from one lotus leaf to another slowly.
I don't know where I'm going, the important thing is that I know that now I'm in my dream and meditation.
I'm aware and I want to know what this place wants to show.
Maybe some of you are already familiar with the Islamic boarding school inhabited by Zahid.
His name is
Bahrain Islamic Boarding School
Which is in Jombang City.
And one of the most influential figures in the lodge was kyai Muchtar.
But I only knew him from the photo, I didn't meet him in person.
"Come here!"
I turned around when I heard those words. The voice echoed in my head and ears.
Who is it aimed at?
If it's for me, but which way should I go.
It was not clear where the voice came from.
I continue to walk on the broad leaves of this lotus.
"Come!"
The voice reappeared, and again I had no idea where it was coming from.
And with a glance, I saw a white light streaking through the water, right where I was standing now.
The light moved slowly.
The shape is not very clear, because it is in the water.
I decided to walk with the light.
I jumped slowly but surely, so as not to be too far behind by the light.
Hmmm, its shape is like an elongated scarf that moves very quietly in the depths of the water.
I've been following that light for a long time.
But I don't think it's moving at all.
I stopped for a moment.
I looked around, and it was true.
I've been in the same place since the first time I stood up and opened my eyes.
"Listen to me, come to me!"
The voice appeared again.
But this time I just kept quiet.
I sat cross-legged on this lotus leaf.
Take a deep breath. Try to relax the mind.
The light that had been moving, now just stood still, swirling right below me.
"Come to me!"
"Who are you?"
I dare to ask anyone who tries to get me to communicate.
"I am an unattached soul, and I am everywhere!"
"Unbound soul?"
What does it mean?
I was confused so I asked him.
"I am an unattached soul, and I am everywhere!"
"I am an unattached soul, and I am everywhere!"
"I am an unattached soul, and I am everywhere!"
"I am an unattached soul, and I am everywhere!"
I closed my eyes and raised my hands to cover my ears.
He just answered with the same answer, and it's been repeated already too much.
What is this?
The lotus leaf I was sitting on suddenly sank little by little to the bottom of this swamp.
This swamp water is already in my chest.
I decided to remain silent, and not take any action.
Because usually when I want to return to the real world, I have to follow what happens in the dream world.
But I also have to control myself so as not to get carried away too deep into the bottom of the dream.
This water is now right on my neck.
"I am an unattached soul, and I am everywhere!"
"I am an unattached soul, and I am everywhere!"
"I am an unattached soul, and I am everywhere!"
And the voice still said the same thing. I didn't even understand what he meant.
He is an unattached soul, and he is everywhere.
Well, that's what it means. I'm still having a hard time digesting that sentence.
This swamp water is right in my nose right now.
I can't breathe.
Even in a dream, it felt almost the same as reality.
My chest tightened and I sank deeper and deeper into the swamp.
I can't breathe.
Very difficult.
And my body is also stiff I can't move at all.
I tried to exhale loudly, but it was the same. I can't breathe.
I used to be relaxed and relaxed. Now panic entered my brain.
"Get up, now!"
The voice appeared again, at the same time I let out a loud breath...
I woke up
I take my cellphone. I looked at the clock on my cellphone, it was 00:23 am.
For a long time, I dreamed and meditated.
"Come out, follow my voice!"
I sat up straight when I heard the voice reappear when I was fully awake.
"Come out, follow my voice!"
I looked around. But nothing, nothing at all.
The people who were in this room had also all fallen asleep.
"Come out, I'm at the front"
I immediately spontaneously looked at the window curtains that were blowing in the wind.
I was silent for a moment.
I who was sitting, now slowly took a position to sleep.
Zahid and the two brothers who were in this room were sleeping very soundly.
I pulled the blanket and put it on slowly.
"I am an unattached soul, and I am everywhere!"
And the sentence repeats itself.
I cover my ears and close my eyes.
I didn't care about it.
"I am an unattached soul, and I am everywhere!"
Suddenly the lights in the room went out.
The cream-colored window curtains and light penetrated from outside create a silhouette in the form of a person in front of this room.
"I am an unattached soul, and I am everywhere!"
I closed my eyes tightly and pressed my body to Zahid.
I peeked through the blankets I was wearing.
The shadow silhouette on the curtain was still there.
"Hid, Zahid. Wake up Hid!"

I'm not comfortable being away from home...
