Above is one of my original drawings. I made this in the depth of my depression after my daughters passing. The idea behind it is seeking deep into the water of the Earth and then allowing that to grow upward into a lotus. According to John Van Auken the open lotus held the scent of the heaven that we follow home. In this drawing I meant to invoke that by drawing Spirit down into me and grounding it into this world. At the time I didn't know the sun that I drew was a really accurate depiction of the 4 emanations of existence according to the traditions of Kabbalah.
* * * I was going to change subjects. I have some really amazing blogs that I wrote while deeply inspired this week. Yet, this Beast subject and what it means continues to be something that comes up in my daily life validating the insights provided by my dreams. I may end up adding updates until the summer on this subject. "In Revelation, when the disciple Jon sees the number 666, he knows what it symbolizes and why it is called the number of the beast: because it is the lower mind that never seeks higher consciousness and is not willing to endure the sacrifice necessary to reach such higher awareness. That sacrifice is symbolized in the number of the cross- 777- upon which one must "crucify desire" in self that your real potential may be realized." (John Van Auken, 2010 and Edgar Cacye reading 2475-1). Here is validation of what I had come to understand regarding the beast. The Sacral, or the adrenaline fueled chakra, is where the lower mind tends to dwell. This is why most people are on survival mode. Most people stay attuned to their earthly needs and rarely seek spiritual knowledge. Most, when they seek spirituality go too far and form an imbalance by becoming Monks/Priests/Nuns and trying to fully repress their human nature. Striking a balance is hard. Chakra Dreams Let me begin by explaining I think that my progression working with the chakras has been abnormal. Based on my research most people start off by awakening their lower chakra and ascending upward. I, however, was the opposite. My upper three chakras have always been opened (save when I turned my back on spirituality) and I have always been able to 'tune into' the Oneness. This might have to do with what the regressionist who first discovered this when attempting to heal me (and subsequently caused a real imbalance because I hadn't worked through the issues locked in those lower chakras) I may not have fully become grounded in this life for fear I'd have another experience as I did in my last life. In that life I was murdered and suffered a great deal...this time my spirit was ready to depart on a moments notice instead of suffering as the body died slowly as it did in that life. I have already covered the dreams in which I was shown that the lower chakra's were 'the beast.' Yet, it wasn't the scary beast most people conjure in their nightmares. In fact, it is just the animal like nature and instincts of our bodies. In a blog post where I was studying passages in the bible regarding the Kingdom of Heaven I discovered Jesus says often that we must 'overcome.' What are we overcoming? Sure some might say Satan but that's just another name for the beast...I feel he's talking about overcoming our human/animal like nature. Another dream theme that was co-current with the following were letting three strays into my house. I had many dreams with that as a theme. This was followed by a dream of adopting two children. To me this means I'm 'owning' or starting to integrate what these lower chakras symbolize. I realize this topic is intensely personal to me. They might not be of interest to the general public. Yet, the interesting parallel between me working with these energies as it crops up as a theme in movies is interesting. So, I offer this as a curiosity and little more. Dream One: Driving Down To The Three Chakras (3/8/17) I drove down a dirt road where a lot of people I love live. I was driving on the paved highway and I saw a man driving a truck down a parallel dirt road. He was going too fast and I heard a terrible pop. He had a flat tire. He stopped where the two roads met just before the road where everyone lived. I was going to offer to call AAA but he was on a cell phone probably getting help himself. Two other people were also with him on their cells phones. Both might have been women. They watched me apprehensively when I passed by. The first house was an old man. I knew him. He gave me something like a pressure washer. I then watered his yard. The second house I remembered as a kid. The feeling is similar to when you find something in a box you forgot about from the past. I thought Oh! I remember when I was a kid I would visit this house and go into a back room. There I would remove a metal strip from the old box freezer and place it on my forehead. This would cause the entire area along my spine to freeze. I remember leaving the door open and that it was so cold in that room I could see my breath. The third house was my Grandma Emma's house. I knew it had been sold in real life (this is where lucid dreaming can be interesting because things you know in the waking world influence how you perceive the dreaming world). There was a black dog that was friendly inside a kiddy gate with a little baby girl that looked like me when I was a toddler. The dog didn't care I was there as I watered the roses by the front door. It was when I saw a quilt that Grandma Emma made getting wet on the rocking chair by the kiddy gate that gate I got angry. I went in and the women living in my Grandma's house had many of Grandma Emma's things. There were four pictures of my relatives asleep tied with blue ribbon from a curtain rod. There was Grandma Alta, Grandma Emma and my Aunt Ruthie. All of them were sleeping, I don't know who the fourth was because I didn't get a very good look at that picture (that's Spirit's way of hiding things). There were more of my G. Emma's quilts pinned to the walls as decorations. I saw an old lady and I commented that she had a lot of my Grandma Emma's things. She even looked like Grandma Emma though I didn't realize it in the dream. My Grandma Emma has crossed over after all and the house is sold so my waking consciousness that was aware of the dream rejected that idea. The woman shared that she was watching her granddaughter. I asked the woman if I could take the pictures of Grandma Emma, Aunt Ruthie and, Grandma Alta. After all, those were my family members and didn't belong to her. I thought she must have found them in the garage. She said no. She liked those photos. I decided to ignore her and undid the first blue ribbon. When she protested I I went to give her a stack of cash. I wanted to give her a thousand dollars. I maybe had a couple hundred and that was not enough. I couldn't make the money manifest as I usually can in my lucid dreams. This dream wasn't responding which frustrated me. I decided to give her an IOU. She had a stack of green time cards that shone like emeralds in her hands. She said they were too old for me to use to pay the debt. I told her that I could use them. Interpertation I know from the dream that I was driving down and I know based on the symbolism of the third house that it was my Root Chakra. I recognized in previous dreams that my Grandma Emma represents to me a very worldly person. That was the key for me really unlocking the meaning of this dream. At the first house the Solar Chakra- I'm given a pressure washer to water the plants there and continue to the other houses to water them. This ties into my meditation that I do right before sleep. In that meditation I imagine each charka as being a Gerber daisy. I fill up the daisy chain starting from the crown chakra and then descending downward. I fill each with water causing the petals to open outward and I can tell the difference when I feel the body part associated with that chakra relax. Only when each is fully opened do I go on to the next chakra. So, this dream contained the idea of 'watering flowers.' At the second house, the Sacral Chakra, I find that I have been freezing the entire chain of chakras since I was a child. Something about the way I used the energy from this chakra allowed me to really solidify my system crystallizing it somehow. My guess is I was just so psychically sensitive that I tried to shut it down as a child. (This also ties into something I'm studying now in John van Auken's book on the Kabbalah and he mentioned in his Revelation book I quoted in the previous blog. We crystallize our system, solidifying our thoughts, which is what anchors us to this reality). At the third house, root chakra, I find my inner child with a black dog protecting it in a baby fence. I also find my Grandma Emma in the house. I'm not sure about the symbolism of the four sleeping relatives. The root chakra is where the Kundalini usually sleeps in the body (also mentioned in the Hindu and Egyptian parables of where the spirit or housewife is sleeping). Again, this is another clue that this house represents a mental or dream representation of the root chakra. Dream Two: Sacral Chakra 3-13-17 I was in the mountains with my parents. Here it was desert and there were golden brown rocks marked with the red of iron much like the mining area near Barstow. I knew it was a little bit North of Grandma Emma's house (Root Chakra). An old couple friends of my parents had passed away. They had been living on this campground at the base of a hill. In my dream, I was shown and image of the past where they were living on two motor homes on the property. The motor homes were now gone. Dad was finishing the task of taking care of the old stuff by putting them into two different enclosures. There were two areas of belongings. He was wrapping blue cardboard around them saying, "The winds get very high here and I don't want stuff to be blown away." There was a little boy and his family at the location. There was a pathway up a hill (we were in the mountains). I wanted to hike up it, I knew that I had done so before, but there was no time on this trip. The little boy of the family that was camping there wanted to know if "the lamb was up there." Apparently, there were Shepard's in this area and sometimes they brought their flock to this desert hill. Interpretation I know this is the Chakra that I used to really solidify my experience in this reality. The two motor homes and the two storage sheds might represent my ovaries which are associated with this chakra. The blue cardboard being wrapped around them represents these being protected and spiritualized. The mount with the lamb on it definitely invokes the idea of Christ. The fact that this location was a little bit North of Grandma Emma's house suggest it was the Sacral Charka. In John Van Auken's book on the Kabalah there is an old gnostic drawing. In it the lamb is represented by 888 and it's among the three upper chakras. Dream Three Solar Chakra 3-4-17 I was sitting in the back seat of the car from a friend from High School. I associate being humbled and reconciliation with her. I wasn't happy to be there and she blinked at me in surprise saying it was the agreed upon time to meet up. We drove for a while and picked up a professor along with his adult daughter from the university. He wanted to see wherever we were going as well. As we drove my friend talked about the Daffy Duck cookies she had made and I remembered seeing it on FB in the dream (no such thing actually happened in real life). I asked for one of the Daffy Duck cookies and she gave it to me. We drove to a stadium. We weren't really supposed to be there yet. There was an animal in the center of the stadium like a lion but it didn't have a mane so it must have been female. The lion was going to attack a guy. I jumped down to the bottom area of the arena like a super hero. I confronted the animal. The animal backed off retreating back into the center of the coliseum. I looked up and saw my sister-in-law, her best friend and brother-in-law in a balcony cheering me on. I was puzzled by their appearance. After the animal had retreated back through a gate in the stadium I gave a glass of water to the guy that it was going to attack. When he didn't say thank you I told him, "Normal people say thank you." Interpretation This is an interesting one. The lion does seem to be associated with the third Charkra. Most notably in the Revelation. The professor and his daughter my represent my research and the knowledge that it has created within me. The idea of reconciliation and being humbled represented by my friend suggests the intital dreams that I had about the beast wherein I knew that there was supposed to be a reintegration and transformation but it was going to take time to occur. I guess I was confronting my own inner Beast in this one at this chakra. The fact it was like a Roman Coliseum is really interesting and again makes me think of Christianity. The male in the dream that I saved from the lion could be my Animus (male aspect). When I gave him a glass of water it represents purification. Conclusion There really isn't much about people working with their lower chakras or the imagery of a beast. The little bit of validation I have found has been in the Edgar Cacye books that John Van Auken has written. This doesn't surprise me too much. A lot of this type of thinking has been submerged and stamped out for so long by those who would call themselves authorities. I believe that this represents some sort of spiritual passage. To what I am not sure...although, it has really increased the peacefulness I experience and I feel a core of confidence I've never had before growing as well as my compassion. Curiously, through this time period there was another thread of dreams. That of books or records being turned to ash. Those dreams occurred on 2/23/17, 3/5/17, 3/6/17, 3/10/1. There might be more but it's an odd recurring theme of books and files turning into ash. I would hazard a guess that somehow whatever records of my misdeeds throughout my past lives have been destroyed. All of those records are simply wiped clean and whatever karma I had incurred from them are no longer an influence on this life. That is all that I wanted to share to demonstrate how often the inner reflects the outer and vice a versa. I have no way to map this state of being out. I see no similarity of what I am experiencing with any mystics of the past. Therefore, I have no frame of reference nor knowledge of what purpose all of this might be serving. In fact, it seems that I have descended through my chakras instead of ascending. Again, there is no reference of this occurring in any mystical literature I've uncovered. I doubt I am a singular case of this occurring. On a side note, watching a Rosicrucian video and the reading the book on the Kabbalah I realized the symbolism involved in Beauty and the Beast. I will go into detail here but it appears....the Kabbalah tree of life which is also a representation of the chakra system (surprise surprise!) Beauty is the Sacral Chakra when being worked in the positive...the Beast is obviously when in the negative. The Rose represents the many lives that we live...so, prior to the last petal falling (our last mortal life) we must turn the beast into beauty within ourselves.
