I didn't know this was a possibility so I want to share these dreams with you.
I'm sharing this because once you know someone else can achieve something you can achieve it too. We set barriers in our society and agree no one can break the current record. Yet, we've pushed so many. For a long time people believed that no one could run a mile under five minutes. No one believed a plane could break the barrier either. Yet, as soon as one person breaks a limit others start to follow suit. So, I offer this as a way to broaden your perspective. These dreams are relatively rare. I've been working with my dreams since 1995 when I was given my first dream symbols book. I think that's why I have no issue remembering my dreams and they're pretty epic. Just like any skill the more you work with it the more you can develop it and, for all intents and purposes, when you start to show an interest in Spirit...Spirit starts to take an interest in you. Since then I had a short period where I tried to control dreams but that wasn't fun. Since then I've learned to go with the flow of dreams instead of trying to OBE (which gets boring) or direct them. Cave Dream I had this dream in 2015. I've shared this before so I'll keep this brief: In it my husband (who represents my ego) and I entered a cave. There was a shallow stream running through the cave and a lot of spiders. We reached then end of the cave and emerged on a mountain top. To the left was mountains of doughnuts, slurpees and other food. To the right was an ornate Hindu temple. My husband went to the food but I chose the temple. I was shown a past life that I had spent in a Hindu temple. I was taught how to mediate and cleansed. I gave birth to a child and then I was told I had to return to the world below. Interpretation This is the classic dilemma. The Ego wants to fulfill desires and in particular physical desires such as eating. However, I chose the spiritual life which is a lot less indulgent in the physical senses and focuses on mental discipline. The child represents a spiritual rebirth. A potential result of following the spiritual Path is that it transforms a person into a new being. The Sacred Mound Dream This was the start of my obsession with the Bull as a symbol. I believe I had this dream around 2014/2015. In it I floated in spirit form without a body to a big potbelly like mound. (At the time I didn't know the spiritual significance of this symbol or how common they are around the world). I saw that a former teacher I used to follow had made this one out of concrete. As I looked at the mound I saw that two golden screws were loose. One screw said, "In No Cent," and the other said, "Accept The Bull." I tightened the two screws and I was allowed to enter. Interpretation This was a spiritual initiation. I realized, when I told my dream to my husband that the words on the screws were a play on words meaning: Innocent and Acceptable. In other words, in order to be accepted into the mound, which I now know represented spiritual regeneration, a person shouldn't do it to make money. The part about the Bull confused the heck out of me. At first I had a very fear based interpretation that I had to accept the bull which I associated with the Annunaki Enki and with a very born again Christian background that did not sit well. I know understand that I was the bull that was being accepted. I've since studied the symbol in depth over the variety of cultures. I believe the Bull represents the raw material aspect of us...in many ways the undeveloped and untamed mind. In the Jewish tradition the Bull would be the "evil inclination." Another way to look at it is unadulterated desire mind that is only looking for sense gratification. Oneness Dream I shared this dream back in 2017. In this dream a video was being passed around at work. It was said that if a person counted the right amount of people wearing red shirts they would gain superpowers. I have never been fantastic or quick with math because of my dyslexia. Math is a very sore spot for me so I had a negative attitude about getting the number right. People I knew were gathering together and counting the shirts. One explained how a part of the video was in black and white. He was explaining the trick of it when I realized...there was only One person in that video. There is only one person because there is really only divinity here experiencing itself. I went to where here were three rabbits. There was the trickster brown rabbit on the outer circle, a widened skinny gray rabbit hopping in a circle clockwise and a white rabbit as sleep at the center. I picked the brown rabbit up and told it my answer. That the answer was One. The thing looked at me dauntingly and asked if I was sure. I told it absolutely it's One because we are all One with God. The Gray rabbit came to an abrupt halt staring at me in shock. Then the white rabbits eye opened just barely like a slit. Interpretation The red shirt I associate with the Red Pill from the Matrix meaning it represents choosing to know the truth. The three rabbits represent the trinity in whatever form you prefer to recognize it. Regardless of the name's assigned to it the trinity is Source (Absolute Unbounded Oneness), the Creator and Creation (Absolute Unbounded Multiplicity). Laird Scranton makes a good argument in his books that the rabbit in Egyptian hieroglyphs represent vibration. Knowing the true nature of Oneness is a sort of Super Power. Again, you can't use it to profit and you can't dominate other people with it...it's simply a priceless perspective and without it one truly can't proceed forward on the Path of the Seeker or experience the "Fruits of the Spirit." End Of Desire Mind In the dream I was at a store. I walked around the entire store looking at things. I wasn't able to find a single thing that I liked. Instead I decided I wanted to leave. When I went to leave the clerk's insisted I couldn't leave until I bought something. They tried to prevent me from leaving but I managed to get out. Then I was surrounded by angels. They congratulated me for resisting the temptation as I asked what was happening. They then dressed me, arranged my hair and gave me a suitcase even as insisted I wanted none of it. Interpretation Shopping has been a regular recurring dream of mine. I never imagined it was a sort of test to see if I had worked through my desire mind. I think there is a whole blog I can write about this subject. In the past I had interpreted the meaning of these dreams that I had made the wrong choices. Most recently it was with the healing hand. I never imagined the correct decision was not to buy anything! Non-Judgment/Forgiveness I had this dream recently. In it I went with two women to a graveyard. There we were looking at an index card file system to see if someone one of them had known was dead. When we found the name one of the girls started to cry. Turned out she'd been in a car accident and had killed the girl. I asked if she had be drunk. She said yes and I couldn't pass judgement on that. A nearby woman had been listening to us and was about to chew out mu companion but I turned to her and said: "Do not judge her. Everyone makes mistakes." The woman was silenced and we left. Interpretation I'm not sure what my companions or the graveyard represents. This dream mostly drew my attention to the fact that I have reached a point where I don't really judge others. Everyone makes mistakes. Non-judgement is huge! Optimist I had this dream recently. I was debating how to approach the virus subject in my Coronavirus Reflections Blog. There are legitimate reasons why current events could inspire fear and pessimism. Yet, I decided to be optimistic. After all, I've seen that the systems that we had in place were unhealthy for years...and really it's falling apart in a fairly gentle way. In the dream I was celebrating with my four guides. Two men and two women. I was told by the leader, "Do you know hard it was for me to turn you into an optimist?" Interpretation This dream is simple. Again, it's a big milestone. In it I realized that I've become optimistic and this is a huge life lesson. For most of my life I've been a pessimist and severely depressed. I know some people can spend an entire life time trying to achieve this one...that I've achieved it in this life is huge. As time continues I've begun to forget what it feels like to be depressed. Conclusion These dreams of spiritual achievement are pretty awesome. I've never heard anyone else talk about them so I wanted to share these as an example. When I dream about achieving these spiritual milestones I see them as my soul achieving these goals. Dreams are a little like an interface where we work with ourselves...and since our actions come from our most authentic core of soul identity the choices we make in our dreams are a direct indication of our spiritual state. Just like meditation and quieting the mind I didn't really believe any if these feats were possible. I thought they were unachievable abstract ideas...not achievable goals. deas...not achievable goals. However, I can now say with certainty that they are achievable. Thank you, brave soul, for exploring this avenue on the Path of the Seeker with me! Sending you infinite love and support on your journey!

This is one of those subjects that kind of blew my mind because the synchronicity is so odd. All of this happene back in October and I've been sitting on this sent then...although, it feels like yesterday.
All of it started with a dream. In the dream I was at a museum. I was looking at these posters that were on display and I was pushing a shopping cart. I came to a poster that was mine. The 'poster' wasn't paper but the pink plastic from the items the usually give you in a Hospital. I was told, "You were born with two placentas which is toxic." Then I saw a Vesica Pisces and myself as a fetus at the center that forms the fish symbol with the 7 chakras lit up, "The shamans had to remove the second placenta from you." I saw in the distance five hooded figures who nodded to me in acknowledgment. I was given the board and the second placenta that was old and dusty so I put them both into the cart. As I awoke I had the epiphany as I awoke that it was the "embrace" of feminine light that was one placenta and feminine earth was the second placenta. Now, after this dream I just put this to the side. Weird dream and I couldn't really figure it out. I didn't know what to think of it. I had Museum dreams before and didn't know what they meant and there wasn't really a purpose that I could intuit from this dream. After meditating on this dream I realized that when I dream of a Museum it represents Ancient History. Then I was reading Laird Scranton's book Decoding Maori Cosmology and I read something that stopped me in my tracks. The book mentioned two placentas. I know that Laird holds dreams in reverence and he's a friend on Facebook so I reached out to him through Facebook messenger about the dream. "Dogon cosmology describes the non-material and material universes as two placentas. Amma, who represents the feminine/non-material creates a placenta. A charectered named Ogo, who plays the rol of light in the Dogon myths, feels that he can create a universe as perfect as Ammas and breaks off a square piece of Amma's placenta to form his own, which becomes the material unvierse. The 'seat' of Amma is an almond-shaped millet seed called the Yu, which for me is the same symbol as the Vesica Piscese. In Buddhisim it represents a kind of ripple of overlap that forms at the interface between the two domains, much as ripples form at the surface of water, between the domains of a body of water and air. The coming togehter of the non-material and material energies to form these ripples is termed "an emrbace." Scientifically speaking those ripples in energy, when perceived, spin and evoke matter in sevent stages that, in Buddhism, are conceptual counterparts to the seven Chakras." "In other words, from my perspective the images of your dream are right on point in terms of concepts of how matter form. That process is understood to be parallel to the stages of biological reproduction." Now, Laird doesn't dieal with the abstract or Spirit nature of these subjects. He deals with relating these systems to the Microcosmic world upon which Physical Material Reality is based. He doesn't work with anything else. He does admit there is an 'invisible universe' that is connected with ours which is the basis of his book. There are usually three applications for every system and three levels to Physical Material Reality. Physical Material Reality is usually Microscopic, our level of perception, and the Macrocosmic (planets, etc.). We need telescopes to see the microcosmic and the macrocosmic. The Non-Physical usually consists of the Mind, Soul and Spirit. There are so many implications to this concept when you look at the Vesica Pisces. Center Of The Vesica Pisces- Seed and Egg So many people in our western society is sexually surpressed that they always relate and focus on the center part of the Vesica Pisces to a vagina. Yes, that works but it's also two other very important symbols that make more sense. I've always felt that the center part looks like a seed, which matches up with Laird Scranton's metaphor, and really gives you a different perspective of the system of Alchemy. Especially when I go over the system of Alchemy as a system involving Seeds. That also explains the concept of a 'harvest.' Those are the people, by following the 7 fold path, grow enough to become productive on a spiritual level. That's the same concept of what Thomas Campbell calls "graduating." I'll be writing a blog on that subject exploring it in that way in a future post. If we see the metaphor of a Seed being the same as an Egg...it also suggests the Cosmic Egg. Light Stealer As far as the charecter Ogo from Dogon mythology- his match is any charecter that 'steals the light' whether it's Prometheus, Lucifer, or Maui. They are all the same metaphor. However, that charecter can also be female as in the case of Sumierian Inanna who steals the 'Me,' (the civilization plan) and shares it with humanity. The idea of Light being a placenta or using it's placenta to create our reality works if it's a female. Not so much if it's a male but it's very possible that when the patriarchal system was put into place it changed into a female. However, Mother Earth did not becomea female. The Light And The Kabbalah The result of the Malkuth receiving the Light too early was that Malkuth rejected the light. This matches up with the concept that both 'placentas' created a toxic condition for the soul...in fact the Light and Earth combined created madness and chaos. That's why the veil with Spirit was created. Tha veil, as I talk about in an upcoming Traveler's Note's video, seprating Kether, Binah and Chochmah from the 7 Sephiroth that we have access to was created because having access to both was too much. Our job as 'light workers' is to adjust to hold more and more of the light so we can send it back to the Creator. That way there is feedback...the light is received (which can be though of as data or information...and the light is returned. Communication, then, is re-established. I know the idea that we are not communicating with the Creator seems foreign. Almost every system of religion suggests you can speak directly to the God/Gods/Goddesses....but that isn't the case in Kabbalah. In Kabbalah, the big secret, is that the Creator made a space for humanity to 'grow up' without his conscious intervention. That's what gives us Free Will. The destination, the outcome, is the same for all of us. We will attain entropy (create order in our minds from the chaos that is the norm) eventually and return to union with the Creator. We will just do so as individual entities...that's because while our experiences in Physical Material Reality are illusions compared to the ultimate reality where the Creator exists...the experience itself is what differentiates our souls making individuals that have something unique to offer when we work together...and to the One Creator to whom we will be companions. Conclusion I will have to revisit this subject. Seeing things this way really transforms the entire idea of the Vesica Pisces. In Seeking the Primordial Laird Scranton goes into depth regarding the Vescia Pisces and how/what it symbolizes in Physical Material Reality based on the the Cosmology that he has identified that he believes was the Civilizing Plan shared with humanity by the Nummo. I'm sure that will offer further illumination of this subject.
I'm really excited to share this post with you and so I had to do a bonus blog!
Last Friday, January 11th 2019 Kevin Todeschi and Peter Woodbury decided to do a episode of Reflection's for the Edgar Cacye A.R.E. on dream interpertation. I follow Peter on Facebook. He's one of my favorite posters and I really suggest you add him as a friend. I've followed his progress at the A.R.E. for a few years now and look forward to him finally writing a book. That's something the other people kind of tease him about because they've all written books. I had already decided I was going to a Group Past Life Regression Session wtih an emphasis on Life In Between Lives in California in March that he's hosting. I was so excited because it's two bucket list items- go and see Peter in person and also to have a life in between lives session. There is a woman in Beverly Hills who does that and charges $1000 per session which I can't afford. Either way I decided to submit the dream about the cow that I had last June to be interperted. I was still curious how someone would interpet the cow. The funny thing is I totally forgot about the live broadcast on Friday because the day ended up a little chaotic and I was watching Lune Innate with her friend on the Emerald Paradgim channel Live. Yet, I had a dream on Sunday night about the video reminding me that I had submitted a dream...and then it popped up on YouTube that morning and I was so grateful I could get to see it! (I have no idea how to look up Facebook Live videos on Facebook. There user interface is complicated). I even shared the video on Facebook before I realized that Peter had brought up my dream for Kevin to interpet! Now, for those of you who follow this blog and read the dream interpertation ones...as well as what has happened since June this information helps enhance and shows that how Kevin interperted the dream was correct. 1. Ross does not believe in God or Spirit. (He is quick to add he doesn't disbelieve either). 2. Ross is also usually my Ego. 3. I became a Mother two months later. 4. I discovered that Ross had been mismanaging the finances and spending money in a selfish way so I had to seize control of the funds so I could manage them. I forgave him but it's altered our relationship on many levels. 5. I decided to write a book on the Seven Fold Path of the Seeker called the 7 Code which is in the editing stage of production. I'm hoping to self-publish it this year. With that said I hope you enjoyed the video above. I recommend all of the books Kevin talks about at the end. I have his book on dreams and I have the dream book by Elsie (which talks about Big Bear California of all things!). To have Kevin Todeschi validate my own interpertation of the dream was really meaningful.
I have shared before that the Spirit and Subconscious are one.
By learning universal symbolisim you can develop this ability. There are bias to overcome (specifically fear based Christian dogma) but anyone can do this...and my experience has gone to a new level. I'm sharing this with you to indicate how this works...not just in dreams but in waking life...and how the two intermingle. That by learning universal symbolism you can develop this ability. That there is nothing magical about it really but can be approached from a scientific experiment in your own life...although, it is directly impacted by your desire to believe. More people are inspired to believe in Disney Magic then their ability to tap in directly with their Higher Intuitive Self. So, I wanted to share with you something that happened recently because it is a fantastic illustration of this principal. Leave your fear and dogma here. This recent set of events, when looked at from afar, might be disturbing. There is deep healing here but true healing requires perspective. So, I can laugh at it even though some might sit there and go, "Well, there was suffering involved and that shouldn't happen!" I could write an entire blog speaking to that subject but that's not my purpose here. This is a beautiful example of how having an open dialogue with Spirit can work and how we can be warned prior to a test. My Dog Was Sick I am very much attached to my dog, Angel. She's 12 years old and she might as well be a human child as far as I'm concerned. When I brought her home when I was living alone she was my only regular companion. I made a commitment to her that I would take care of her at all costs that I see as sacred. Unlike a human she has to be dependent. I could say a lot more but when it comes to her the idea of her in pain or dying affects me emotionally on a huge level. This goes back to a horrible traumatic experience when my dog Bear died when I was about 4 years old. He was my best little friend and on one of his adventures where he managed to get out and was exploring the desert...someone shot him in the head and ditched his body on the side of the road not far from our house. That was my first encounter with death and I had many nightmares about him jumping over me growling. During my first attempt at awakening in the mid to late 90's I realized he was protecting me in those dreams and I haven't had them again. So, when Angel is sick or not feeling well my mind jumps to that traumatic experience by reflex. On Tuesday I didn't see that there were ants by her food bowl before putting it down. Usually she scarfs her food down with great abandon so when I went to check on her and she hadn't finished eating I was concerned. Seeing the floor with a pregnant belly is hard, but I did see a piece of grass crossing her bowl. I figured she'd brought it in with her, probably attached to one of her long ears, and that it was over the food bowl. So I removed it. I didn't see the ants. She ate her food and not long after threw it up. That's when my husband went into the bathroom and saw the ants swarming her empty food bowl. After that, for the next few days she refused to eat her normal food. We had some wet food so we gave that to her but her appetite was low and she slept hard. There were no outward physical symptoms. She still wiggled happily like usual, begged when we ate and was hungry. She didn't have a temperature. She was eating the wet food. Then last night my husband fed her and she puked up the entire contents of her stomach. I mean, it was a huge pile! She was shaking badly. I was very worried. We gave her a small amount of special wet food before going to bed knowing she needed something on her belly. She scarfed it down enthusiastically. I tried to sleep but every time I started to nod off I would wake myself trying to listen if she was making a coughing/pukey sound. At 3am she needed to go outside to use the restroom and her stool was normal...but then she started shaking again and coughing like she was going to throw up. I sang her to sleep but she woke up 30 minutes later shaking and so I decided to give her a small amount of food and water. She kept it down and slept well until 6am... That's when I finally managed to sleep and the dream blew my mind... The Dream I was with my mom and sister. We were looking to a place to move to but we stopped at this place that was a little like a bed and breakfast. There was a pool and garden but it was under construction. We were thinking about buying this house. There was a care taker at the house. He gave me back a test. On it was written: 50% Optimistic. We need you to be at 65% or higher! Uh oh. As I already explained in this blog () that I failed a test two years ago. Add to that the fact that I've decided to get onto the positive train () and the meaning of that test was easy to see! Then he told me twice in the dream just before I woke up to my husband preparing food for the dogs in the kitchen, "The dog is temporarily out of order...di I tell you the dog is temporarily out of order? She needs her water." Interpertation If you've been following my previous posts you know that Water is Spirit. I knew this meant she needed to sleep and be in ethereal form in order to be recharged. I already touched on the fact that I was given a test score. Apparently, this experience with Angel being sick was a test of my optimism. I got 50%...which is not as high as it needs to be apparently! I never imagined a test with my dog, by far the most emotionally being in this entire creation aside from my daughter in my womb, being a test! That never occurred to me. Wait! There is More! Then I watched Colette Baron-Reid's weekly Oracle Lesson for this week and was floored. This week (June 25th-July 1st) is so completely in alignment with where I am at. Oracle Cards and Tarot Cards (certain decks only) both utilize universal symbolism and are a fantastic way to speak with Spirit...especially when we first start out and we are first learning to work with this new language of Images. I will attach the video at the end of this section so you can verify that I am not making this up! She starts off explaining that we are heading into 6 weeks of Mars Retrograde. This is a time to turn inward. She explains we need to catch and watch our reactions to things that trigger us(there are good triggers and bad triggers which I'll write about soon). 1st Card Serendipity: Theme of the reading...Opportunity. Even the most difficult experiences and painful things that we encounter for us to observes us. "Where our attention goes our energy flows and we will see more of the same." 2nd Card: Unfinished Symphony: Unprocessed Wounds...show's where we are not done and where we need to heal. 3rd Card: Mending (in protection): "Heartbreak is a strange healer of souls. Our griefs strips away our masks and loosens our tight hold on our separateness where we view ourselves as 'I' and the world as 'it.' Allows ourselves to see ourselves as part of a larger scheme. Opening us up to empathy, sympathy and dependence on others...leads us to be come one with the greater whole again...Pain and suffering is a part of life...can you let this experience lead you back to Source?... " 4th Card: "Where we land is the card Home." This is a beautiful card reading and so timely for me with my recent experiences. I see a lot of people getting kicked out of the places that they live. A lot of people changing jobs (often not by choice) and a lot of people. With the Mercury retrograde the purpose of these events are clear...people are being called to let these experiences lead them back to the One Creator. The reading, of course, plays directly into my own life very obviously. Now, Colette says to pull three cards of our own (bringing it to 7!) to get our personal part of the reading. Here is what I pulled from Colette Baron-Reid's Wisdom of Avalon Oracle card set (it was the first she made and I bought it way back in 2007 when it came out). The bold font is my way of emphasizing the cards meaning: 1. The Mystery: "This marker directs you into the unknowable mystery of your journey. It is the sacred places where all things are created but not yet formed. It points the way to pure power and potential, which meets the magic of intention. It tells you that the magical and unknowable forces of destiny and fate are working in your life. The forces that you can never fully understand or control are, indeed, weaving their magic around you to help you fulfill your true purpose. ..For now trust that the thread of your life is woven into the pattern of Mystery with beauty, grace, strength and purpose. This marker is an auspicious and profound omen that shows you are on the right path. 2.Partnership: Your put on notice to seek connection in all things. This is the coming together of ideas, the fulfillment of attraction, the marriage between two people, and the harmonious blending of energies... When you receive the blessing of partnership on this part of your journey it's a sign the object of your inquiry may indeed give you what you need. It's a portent of opportunity where the partnership exceeds the potential of the individual. This Sacred Journey Marker reminds you that you're never alone. and there is always partnership with the divine. It is a very auspicious omen. 3. The Cow: The cow says, "Take my milk; I can always feed you. I'll eat the grass of the God/Goddess and, in turn, pass good fortune onto you. Nourishment is never ending when I appear on your path. Don't forget to till the soil so that grass may grow. Abundance is made manifest out of a universal system. Do your part, and I will do mine with joy. Ask and you will receive all of the blessings I have to offer. The cow reminds you that there is no shortage of blessings in this world. Ask to partake in infinite abundance, and you will, indeed, get exactly what you need.
Conclusion
As I said, this series of synchronistic events with symbolism is hard to deny. This is a clear indication, given the entire series of events, that I need to be mindful in the next six weeks of my triggers. As a result of identifying those triggers I can find where they come from and heal them. Most of all, the emphasis for me during this Mercury Retrograde, will be on staying optimistic and paying attention to what triggers my negativity. I hope you enjoyed this example. Know that you can experience the same in your life. **Update...sadly, while this tremendous set of synchronicity did warn me. I had no idea the depth of the test that I would be facing. Angel did pass away from advanced Kidney failure. There was nothining the vet could do and her hearty appetite even fooled. She has visited in my dreams and I know she's happy. Obviously, she needed to cross over into Spirit. Losing her did trigger that fear based knee jerk reaction from that memory from my childhood on a huge level...and I started to have contractions and ended up in the same hospital in the same situation where I lost my daughter Lilith-Ann for three days. The doctor had originally said it was going to be longer and the hospital staff was standing by expecting to have to do a emergency c-section. Luckily, I was able to, very quickly catch myself from that valley of despair with mindfulness practices and meditation. All of that will be relayed in a future blog. One of the most interesting things about my Seekers Path is that I always come across these warnings that a person has to be initiated in order to perceive the material I research and share. Most of the books that I have read, especially those from the 1920's to the 1970's make these statements. How is it that I can understand these texts and intuitively grasp these concepts when other people have to go into organizations? Some of these people say it is only in Group Work that you can really comprehend it...yet, I disagree.
First, these authors lived in what Spirit, speaking through Edgar Cacye, called, "Stiff necked times." They did not have flexible minds. They had very superstitious and dogmatic approaches. I believe that limited their minds terribly. I have never joined an organization that focuses on these mysteries. I have never gone through an initiation ceremony in the flesh. The closest I've come is joining Francesca Simon every Sunday night at 11pm EST (7pm PST) for Charting Your Course on Facebook live. However, as I was meditating on this, wondering if perhaps I had done something wrong or that I was unworthy of sharing or understanding this material (although, to me the information and correlation between the systems is now as obvious as day). I was far more uncertain when I first started and very confused. I sometimes wondered if I was doing more harm then good. What I realized, particularly when writing The Bull Revisited blog, was that I did experience an initiation. That initiation was in Spirit via dreams. I also have no doubt that I was initiated in prevous lives...and in particular 7 lives ago, in particular, when I had an Indian life that is somewhat hidden from me, I know that I entered Sotapana. I'm sharing this with you as a sort of meditation. I am not saying I am special. I just want to show you that it is possible and in a recent book I was reading Paul Foster Case said as much which surprised me as he gives the most stern warnings. Given that I have offered no oath or promises to any Earthly organization, nor in Spirit, I have no reservations for sharing what I have discovered on the Path of the Seeker to those who are interested. Part of that is because I realize that the information will not attract those who are not seriously studying it. I could not find the information to piece all of this together until I was at a certain stage of the path even though many of the books I have found that illustrate it are from mid 1900's. Even books such as the Celestine Prophecy just didn't really click. Now, I understand a bit more what the Author was trying to say...even if he was a little misguided and didn't approach it from a down to Earth point of view...sometimes you just got to Say What You Mean in as simple terms as possible. The time of allegory passed with Jesus death. I think we all can see the confusion of his allegories, albeit, the people he taught were even more stiff necked then the people during Edgar Cacye's day (although, according to Edgar Cacye- entertainingly enough- many of the soul's during Jesus time cycled back into Material Reality around the 1920's-1930's and many of those who he did readings for were associates of Jesus). The Golden Screws Dream I have spoken of this dream many times because it is so profound and it happened when I truly dedicated myself to the Path of the Seeker. In the dream I stood in what I thought was a Dogon Granary. I was accompanied by the man who wrote the iAlexandriah website. He was very much one of those people who misinterpeted Zecheriah Stitchin's Annukai theory. We were both looking at this mysterious structure that didn't seem to have an obvious entrance. He'd been seeking entry for a very long time but just couldn't figure it out. The structure was a white sort of mound...but it was more egg shaped with no windows and no doors. Now that I kind of think of it...it looked like a Hindu Lingam which was absolutely not on my conscious radar at the time. There were no doors and no windows in which to enter...just smooth white slightly bumpy texture on the outside that felt much an egg. I realize now that this is very much related to Chockmah on the Kabbalah Tree of life. You can see avery rough inexact image of what I saw in the dream above. I pointed out two golden screws were lose. On one golden screw were the words, "Accept the bull." On the other screw were the words, "In no cent." The figure that was supposed to be that websites creator was surprised and startled as I tightened those two loose screws and, in effect, showed him that the mental structure he'd created was a little off. At that time, I didn't realize that the first one that said Accept the Bull was also a pun for the word, "Acceptable." Not to mention that the phrase on the other screw was a pun for, "Innocent." I had no idea that I had gained entry into the Mysteries...although, I admit I was seeking it. I was really trying to make sense of my life, I had this crazy sense of urgency, and there was just enough correlation and information between the Dogon System and the information about the Annunaki laid forth by Stitchin and the author of iAlexandriah that I knew something was going on there... The dreams occurred with the 2014-2015 period. Which was the darkest night of my soul but pushed me to expand my mind by letting go of all of the belief structures I had clung to in the past. Interpertation. I mistakenly believed that "Accept The Bull" was a reference to the Sumerian God Enki, as that was the material that website dealt with. However, through meditation, some of which you can see in this blog (any of the subjects written on the Bull and Beast). I was intellectually trying to tie it in with the material Laird Scranton shared about the Dogon (and Egypt) because I felt they were related. There was also the implication of Zechiariah Stitchin's Annunaki series and I had recently read the book, "End of Days." All three people and the structure they presented seemed to hint at a nearly lost common cosmological system handed down over thousands of years. Since then I have explored, and discovered for myself, that deeper system...The Universal Truth at the core of everything...you might say, which I didn't truly think existed, because I was only aware of Subjective Reality. I was in that phase where I believed only in chaotic chance based random material reality that has no importance what-so-ever as it is taught by today's High Priests of Science. I wasn't studying this information to 'find God'. I wasn't really sure there was a 'God' to find. The fact that I have since received rock hard Faith in a 'source', 'Universal Mind,' or what I like to call the One Creator...is just a natural consequence of the quest to learn more about myself. At that time I had rejected my lower nature. This was also symbolized by the Spiritual healing I received at the end of my Past Life Regression when my personal guide, Aswana, and Edgar Cacye entwined their hands and arms with mine. They then lowered me back into my body as I turned into a tree and planted me. The Tree of Life has been a huge symbol for me since then and I will explore that in an upcoming Mediation Blog. As some of you may know, I am currently working on a beautiful depiction of the Tree of Life as I now perceive it. The golden screws imply a few things. First, Gold is the highest form of metal in Alchemy. That is the purest form of metal. My intent was pure and that is why the screws were gold. Screws hold together the structure of things. If you have a few screws loose the structure is going to collapse. This dream implied that the structures of thought that I was studying had a few screws lose. There might be a deeper connection with Binah on the Kabbalah Tree of Life but I am still studying that immense subject. The words also say a lot about what was lose... One, that the authors of the system I was studying had not accepted the Bull...Their Subconscious. Conscious logic alone will not allow you into the mysteries...you must learn to use your intuition and your emotions because that's one of the biggest keys to this system. Two, that the authors writing about those system were motivated by profit. In No Cent suggests that you cannot enter into the mysteries operating on the desire to make money or become famous. If your seeking monetary recognition it's not going to be granted for you because...at the end of the day...that's a purely service-to-self motivation. Finding these two lose screws lose and tightening them I had gained entry into the mysteries and a cohesive structure. Dream Two: The Game of Life Dream In this dream I was playing a board game but I was also the piece on the board game. I exclaimed in joy because I had won the game. A guide appeared that reminded me of Spock from Star Trek. He was very logical. He told me I hadn't won. That I needed to do two other things. I told him that was nonsense and explained I had achieved the five things and so it was my right to win the game. I had won the game of life. There was a deep discussion where we went back and forth. He didn't think I was ready to progress but I logically and rationally proved that I had won. Well, he was probably right because that first initial awakening was just too much for me. My physical vessel was not purified enough to handle that much light and my subconscious mind really didn't have the capability of processing that information. Do I regret it in hindsight? Nope. That was a powerful healing experience. In Paul Foster Case's book on Alchemy he explains the path of Horus...and how it contains five things. In a more recent dream I opened five books...the first had only one thing in it...but I know the last had the 12 signs of the zodiac. I confirmed that I had completed each part in these books before I had a dream that I will tell you about in a Personal Update. Let us just say that I have been promised that in this life I have earned 'a happy ending' and that I may not come back after this life because my Higher Self has detached herself from Physical Matter Reality. I woke up crying because it was both beautiful and terribly sad at the same time. The Mountain Top Dream I've covered this dream in depth several times. Just like the healing I received from Edgar Cacye and Aswana at the end of my Past Life Regression I am shocked by the depth of the symbolism. Especially given that I was not aware in any way shape or form of the imagery of the Tarot. Having experienced those universal archetypes in dreams prior to reading them with my conscious mind gives them further validity...especially when I can return to them four years later and mine them for more 'spiritual gold.' Not only was that dream instructional but it really symbolized the event's that were to come as I walked the Path of the Seeker. Plus the dream was multidimensional. My husband (represents my ego) and I went through this cave that had a river running through it and huge spiders. My ex-husband was trying to follow us but he chickened out and ran away (that would be the 'Lower Aspect' of myself...the Earthy Hedonistic self). Both of us were Reporters on this journey to explore this newly discovered Mountain Top Sanctuary. My husband went over to the left part of the mountain where there was a huge slurpee machine. My husband in my actual life has been that way, he's focused on the physical world exclusively, and that's where my mind was at the time on a conscious level as well. He has the full capacity to understand the Ancient Mysteries but having concluded his exploration of the Path of The Seeker with a pessimistic College Instructor his mind is simply not open to further study. I turned my back on the giant slurpee machines and piles of food and approached a huge complex ancient Hindu Temple on the right...I went in and began to study under a Master who could levitate during meditation. My guide Aswana was also there but she was no teaching me directly (I suspect now she was my Higher Self). I was cleansed in blue water (which has a very deep meaning that I didn't realize at the time. Blue is the subconscious. Water is the second element of the Alchemical process...dissolution. The Master of the Temple taught me how to levitate in Meditation (Raising the Kundalini/Ascension). Then I gave birth to a child I never saw (a new consciousness). Then, after all of this, I was told that I had to return to the people below. The images in that dream were Universal Archetypes with well established meanings in Tarot, Alchemy and the Kabbalah. None of which I had even the slightest inkling to delve into at that time. Conclusion Sometimes you're initiated in Spirit and not the flesh. I can even say that I was instructed in Spirit. Some of the most important lessons I have learned are not from books. That I don't need what Bashar calls, "Permission Slips," which he emphasizes that you don't really need- by far was one of the most important message I received in this manner, I can still remember arguing with the person in Spirit who was instructing me, and at the time immediately put in place at work to great success. Another instance was when I was instructed that the different levels to the One Creator did not matter...all that matters is that there is the One Creator and that I can become in touch with the One Creator directly...the layers to reach the One Creator did not matter. Edgar Cacye, I would discover later, absolutely agreed with this statement, and even taught it...there are many readings where he said not to bother with anything but Source. I, personally, may be biased that I think the Spirit initiation is more important then in the flesh. I imagine some of those who go through the ceremony in the flesh later go through it in Spirit. However, you can memorize all of the facts and all of the rituals....without really knowing what you are doing. Intent is everything and that's one of the reasons people like Alister Crawley, who got a lot of attention, failed so miserably and did far more harm then good. Thomas Campbell, who was also never an initiate in any order, explained that as someone progresses consciously they are allowed more and more freedom in the Astral Plane. That people are only allowed as much as they can handle based on different factors because to give someone too much will distract them from the work they came to do in Physical Matter Reality. I think it all goes back to those two golden screws...if you really want to succeed in this work your heart has to be in the right place. You can't want out of this reality and you can't really do it out of a desire of physical gain. You have to be Acceptable and Innocent to the Higher Forces before they will really let you in...and of course, as I learned, you must then turn around and teach what you have gained to all of humanity so that everyone can be lifted up. "Dreams Are Answers To Tomorrow's Questions." - Edgar Cacye
Well, why hadn't I heard that statement before? I know dreams can be boring but I assure you...this is going to be a bit interesting. I've never heard of anything like this one... With this in mind I was contemplating a healing I had this past weekend. I was not terribly happy with the healing. I left feeling bruised and uncomfortable. The healer told me, that when working on me, she discovered that I had been leaving my body through my crown chakra. That was not the portal I was supposed to be using. I was supposed to be using the portal in my heart chakra. I just about had a heart attack. I had a dream that I relayed to both my friend Jennifer Lara and Diana Dire who have been tremendously uplifting hand helpful. I consider them soul sisters. Never did I think this dream would come to fruition in such a fascinating way. I knew the dream was of importance and I thought it was beautiful...but the second dream had a fascinating and almost...scary...bit of information. Dreams often happen in series. Multple dreams in one night are usually interelated. I've remembered and recorded up to seven dreams in one night. I know, you would never think that you might have that many but it's just a fact. At this point I've recorded 101 days of dreams. This dream was June 2nd of 2017...about two months ago. Here is my entry: "I was at this place. Like a funhouse. You walk into it and whatever you expect to see the walls change into...there were walls made up of every type of rock set into frames. There were differented sized doors in different parts of the walls...sometimes they were hard to find. The experience was a little scary because I realized that you can trap yourself and not know what is real. I overcame a couple of obstacles. I began to create doors where I wanted them to be and was marveling at how I could pass through what had appeared to be dead ends into new rooms. Then I encounted a womand and realized she was testing me. I didn't want to be tested so I created a portal to escape the fun house, a tiny little door that I had to crawl out of and into a green meadow. Then, I was transported back into the fun house abruptly. I heard a woman's voice tell me that my portal was closed. That was not what I was supposed to be doing. I was supposed to be showing people how to navigate the illusion. The illusions completely fell away. I saw it for what it was...made up of shoddy brown construction materials. There was nothing pretty, scary or magical about it at all. I was pretty grossed out as I walked on the spongey carpet matting that wasn't even nailed down yet and stared at the unadorned beams. I reached one girl in a hallway. I told her that it was all an illusion and there was a way through it. I don't think she saw through the illusion but she started following me and I knew that she would comprhend what I was doing soon. Then I came to another that had made a cage for herself...she wanted me to scratch my left cheek to show I was real so I did but she couldn't stop making illusions. I touched her fingers as she seemed to sink into the cage she made that was fillwed with water and I saw the waves slosh as she went down. Then I woke up...and when I went back to sleep... "I remember I picked up a book and it said, 'If you can read this it means you already made a pact with him.'" Explaination Now, at the time, when I told my two friends about this dream both identified themselves as being the one drowing in her own box...of beliefs. I've realized since making my videos that the symbols I go to create in videos are right out of my dreams. The box of beliefs...well, that's what this perseon had created for herself and she couldn't see a wI ay out of what she had created. We've all been there, where we can't see how we are going to create our way out of a situation of our own making. That's a hard experience. The creepy part, for me, though is the portals. Beause the healer I talked to told me that she had closed the portal that I had created and that I needed go through the heart chakra. I had total Deja vu at that moment and a memory of the dream. Further, I had a dream, two nights later. At first, I was fighting what felt like an entity that was on my heart...some sort of essence I can't explain. That had been there since the healer had done her healing. I felt that essence of energy depart from my heart...I sent it happily back to the healer knowing it was her energy that she had stuck to me...was that the test? That night, in that dream I saw myself floating down a river looking as though I was dead towards a male figure that looked like my ex-husband. Let's just say that's a bad symbol for me. This was symbolic of where I had been going...realizing where I was going I said, "OH Heck no!" swam out of the river and woke up. So, now knowing that dreams are answers to tomorrows questions...based on this dream I can almost bet that healer was testing me. When I walked into the room she had asked if I was a healer and explained people can heal in different ways. She explained that she knows an accountant that is a healer. I may just be healing by making my cups of java with the utmost of love for each of my customers. That might be what brings certain customers back to me. Further, now being ableto tie my dreams to a particular date...perhaps my dreams after that point will point me in the direciton of what will come. There is a deeper teaching, that everything starts off with the essence of our being on a template level by our higher selves...and then "later" occurs in our lives. First, it's created in the template reality (I suppose we would call this Eden) and then it becomes part of our material world. Dreams may be where we are in touch with that template reality and actively create, with our higherselves, what will happen tomorrow. Conclusion A dedicated practice of working with dreams can be life changing. I find it eastiest to just record them on a word processor and put them in a file with the date of the dream as the title. First, upon waking, I do an overview of my dreams remembering particular symbols that stood out the most. Then I get up and write them down on the processor before I go about my day so none of my waking thoughts can analyze the dream. Sometimes my writing is terrible and later on my entertained because I do not write the dreams in a voice that matches my waking conscious writing style. Now, I am going to perform a little experiment to see if the timing continues to be correct...where items I've covered in my dreams show up in waking life and if the delay is really two months. Because if that's true...it's freaking awesome. 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.
Today I'm posting a book review as it ties into what I've been recently experiencing in life. I also have a very full day of friends visiting and adventures to go on. I wrote this review a bit ago but it really helped open my eyes to dimensions of dream interpretation that I didn't possess.
I picked up this book after watching several of Kevin Todeschi's lectures on dreams. Kevin works for Edgar Cacye's A.R.E. which has been very important to me since I was a young girl. My grandfather had a book on Edgar Cacye that I read when I first began 'seeking' in my early teens. I have been working with my dreams for about twenty years starting when I was a teenager. I've picked up a lot of wisdom about myself from them and from realizing what my own personal attached meaning to symbols are but this book offered a wealth of information. I am currently a member of the A.R.E. Dream Interpretation page on Facebook. Although, I'm kind of picky about what dreams I interpret. The Book While some of the material is similar to the talks I've seen him give on YouTube. The techniques, for example, for dreams are not readily apparent were by far the most useful to me. As well as a in depth view of how people are different aspects of yourself in a dream and that it is, primarily, about you. There are numerous sample dreams at the end of each chapter that you can practice interpreting and the answers are at the back of the book! Kevin focuses on the story of the dream and how it reflects what the individual is currently going through. He uses a number of excellent examples from his experience of interpreting dreams for the A.R.E. (I submitted a dream to them a while back and Kevin was the one who replied!). He explains how he uncovered the meaning of the dreams with the people who came to him for help. He touches on people thinking that catastrophe dreams might apply to the entire world and how a small percentage of them do. As I am currently a part of the A.R.E's dream interpretation page I've seen people make some of the mistakes that he highlights. I also feel more confident about asking other people what they feel a symbol represents to them...especially other people in their dreams. I have always known that other character's in a dream represented an aspect of a dreamer but Kevin directs people on how to frame that question. What are the first two words you would use to describe this person? The same thing can go for animals as well. I had a dream about a dog I had named Lady. I couldn't figure out why this dog came up in a dream as she's been dead for many years. I realized she represented a mothering figure for me because I had seen her give birth and nurse her puppies. Included in the books are methods to tap into the same subconscious that provides the meaning in dreams. Again, Kevin gives multiple examples of how it can work. The emphasis on self-knowledge, self-inspection and self-guidance is invaluable. The information in this book would be just as applicable to therapists and psychologists. There are no religious over tones or "new age" feel to this book aside from the mentions of Edgar Cacye. Todeschi wisely keeps the offering humble without tying it to a particular belief system. Instead, he simply explains how it can be a useful tool of introspection for anyone. I highly recommend Kevin Todeschi's book Dream Interpretation (and more) Made Easy! for anyone who is interested in working with their dreams for personal insight. You can buy it on Amazon new and used. To get a good idea of what the book is like you can watch the attached video that I have posted above. If the video isn't working int he blog follow this link In You Tube or search Dream Interpretation with Kevin Todeschi. https://youtu.be/ikCdrzVtxNQ I want to note a few things prior to getting into this one.
1. Normally I publish my posts on Monday and Friday. Today I'm breaking that trend because I think this message is timely and I'm actually excited about sharing this interpretation as I've already shared the dream. 2. I will be writing a blog about why Ross, even though he is a skeptic, is the best partner for me. I want to explain how he came into my life as well for those who can't seem to make room for the right person to come into their life. I'm retooling a blog I wrote on the subject already but I will post that blog Valentines week. 3. The synchronicity of both Wolverine and Beauty and the Beast coming out this year and being associated with a Grand Cycle of Time is a bit bigger than I first thought. The Hopi believe that the latest "World" is that of the Animal. In both movies...the characters have the choice to give into their Animal natures...or choose compassion. The next World of the Hopi is that of the Human. * * * I've decided that I want to share a dream and the interpretation that I had because I realized how powerful the message was and that it might have some value to others. As far as I'm concerned all dreams are personal dreams, often times it is our mind crunching data but sometimes I do believe messages from Spirit that can apply to everyone can come through. The perspective that this dream provides about current affairs is what really matters. What I do is not special. Receiving messages from Spirit is something anyone can do and we all dream. All of us have access to the most perfect consul and font for answers every night (or in meditation). Yet, I realize not all people will allow this in their life unless they see someone else model the behavior. So, hopefully by sharing this with you it will move you to start seeking your own answers within. I didn't realize that this Message from Spirit might be valuable to anyone else until I told my mom about it. This has been a strange phenomenon that I have had recently where I don't really comprehend the depth or meaning of a dream until I share it with someone. The Dream A friend of mine from work, Mikey (who I consider to be extremely left brained and logical) had loaned me a DVD. If I answered the question on the DVD correctly I would be granted super powers. As I gave it back to him I said no, I had not been successful. We then went inside to try to solve the puzzle as a group. As we watched we had to count the people wearing red shirts. That was the question that we needed to answer in order to get 'super powers.' We watched the DVD on a small fuzzy tube television. At one point where the video turned into black and white video footage of two football teams. Mikey pointed at the screen enthusiastically, "Here's the trick. This team wears red jerseys so everyone on this team counts as wearing a red shirt." He tapped the screen every time there was a player for that team reaching a mind boggling number very quickly. I retreated from the room. I don't like math games because I have dyslexia and it messes with my ability to track anything but prime numbers (1-10). I was not happy that this "trick" was being employed. What happened if a person was color blind and was trying to answer this puzzle? Then it hit me, I knew the answer in the dream (As I was watching myself from a third person perspective I did not 'know the answer'). I told everyone in the room I knew the answer. Bill Styhe, the actor was there (to me he represents self-assured authority) and he asked, "Are you sure because I think I have a really good guess." I said, "No, I know the answer!" I raced outside the house. By the front door I encountered a Brown rabbit. I told that rabbit for some reason, "I know the answer?" "Do you?" the rabbit asked doing the Pepe the Frog gesture with his hand upon his chin. "Yes, it's One!" "No, choose again-" The bunny replied. I picked the rabbit up refusing to back down. "No, think about," I told this talking rabbit as though this was perfectly normal thing to do, "we are all one at the source. Every person on that DVD is one at the Source level. The answer is One!" The Rabbit smiled and out of the corner of my eye I saw there was a gray jack rabbit that had been hopping clockwise around a white stationary rabbit. The gray rabbit came to an abrupt halt as I said this and looked at me with the most incredible powerful expression. The white rabbit continued to sleep (I reviewed my journal of this and mistakenly thought it had woken up). I realized that I, holding the brown rabbit, the gray rabbit and the white rabbit were all in perfect alignment. I had answered the question at the exact right moment to allow for this alignment. I realized this indicated that I had answered correctly, I was very excited and the dream ended. Dream Interpretation 1. The DVD represents the story that we see in the world. Most of what was on the DVD were news stories or narratives. Interestingly, we could experience it more than once (replaying the DVD) until we came up with the answer. The narratives and stories were a distraction from the main purpose of the DVD. 2. The Riddle: I believe that God/Spirit/Source (whatever you want to call a higher power) is always testing us...have we learned our lessons? 3. Super Powers: I imagine the reason why you would want a super power is because you feel powerless and to help other people. That didn't seem to be what aroused my curiosity however. I like meditating on riddles and puzzles. 4. Mikey, to me, represents someone who is very left-brained. This is an aspect of me, not the actual person that I know...and what this was saying is that I was looking at the issues in the world from a logical linear perspective (which doesn't apply to emotions). 5. Red Shirts: Immediately when writing this I thought of two things...First, the Red Shirts in Star Trek... the joke is that extra red shirts on away missions usually die. The second was Republicans (we associate them with red while democrats are blue). So, I knew this partly regarded the emotional struggle we see in politics going on in the nation right now. 6. The black and white "trick." Right now a lot of people are trying to see the politics in this country as "black and white" or "Good Vs Evil." (I had already learned this lesson). I realized the division into teams was an illusion...a distraction. Too often we over think about things and attach meaning to events that, quite honestly, aren't there. 7. Bill Styhe, as I said before, reminds me of assured authority. You know that one person who seems to think they very much know the answer to everything. He asks me if I'm sure about my answer as though doubting my ability to discern the answer. He only has a guess but he thinks that his guess is more valuable than my answer. This is the part of me that tends to give my personal power over to a strong male authority. 8. Bunnies- My first association is to Easter and Resurrection. My second association when meditating on the subject caused me to refer back to Laird Scranton's book "The Cosmological Origins of Myth and Symbol." A feature of the bunnies that I focused on was the bunnies whiskers twitching for some reason...and on page 48 of the book I read this, "An example of his kind of adopted symbolism is illustrated by the symbolic assignment of the concept of VIBRATION to the image of a hare or rabbit." So in my mind, it is clear, Rabbits represent vibration. 9. The Significance of Three: There is a huge significance to this number. To me this represents the Holy Trinity (in Hindu it would be Brahman, Atman, and the Individual ) and the Spirit, Mind, Body complex of humanity. To me these are reflections of each other. On a different scale it can also me my Mind, Spirit and Source. On a different scale it represents the Higher Self, The Inner Child and the Ego. 10. The Brown Bunny. This one represents my earthly body self...I'd say this is actually the Mind or Ego. This is the one that really doesn't see the bigger picture. This one tried to tell me I was wrong. Maybe, because of it's limited vision perhaps it didn't really understand or comprehend my answer. Yet, it did that smug Pepe the Frog look...so it also has an element of the God Kek (which I don't fully understand). 11. The Gray Bunny: This one would be the Soul level...it stopped what it was doing and looked deeply at me with a sort of deep penetrating Wisdom I've only seen one other place- A past life regression where I saw Jesus. When it stopped Time seemed to stop (it was jumping in a clockwise motion). To me Jack Rabbits are tough. They are the "Doers" in the world of Bunnies. On the level of the Buddha this would be Atman. On the level of psychology this would be The Higher Self. At the same time this is the Soul level. 8. The White Bunny- Source. This would be the Brahman level. 9. The three being in alignment. By realizing that we are all One at the level of Source (represented by the White Bunny) I caused the Gray Bunny to stop hopping around the White Bunny. The three in Alignment suggests that Mind, Soul and Source will's are in alignment. Also, on a level that I didn't realize until today with the bunnies representing Vibration it means that I am in alignment with my "true" vibration (I'll attach a video by Bashar to kind of clue you in on what that might mean). What Does It Mean? The general message is that the apparent division that we see...the battle between Good and Evil that so many focus on in our dimension is an illusion. At the Source of all life there is not Good or Evil. There is no dressing up and playing Jedi vs Empire. All of this is just an illusion...when we are looking at these details we are seeing the trees but not the forest. This apparent division that we are seeing offers a tremendous opportunity to us consciously. Will we give into our Fear...which will lead to Hate and Suffering? Yet, what is compassion? How do we find compassion when we are feeling threatened? The only way is to see the bigger picture, the deeper meaning and purpose of it all. To realize the division and the suffering is all an illusion and this life is the story we are telling ourselves. Too often we go to the news allowing them to narrate and make sense of it all for us...but do you really want the world they are trying to sell you on? A world based on fear, lack and competition? Can't we tell a better story? The Light Side and the Dark Side is an illusion. We are all shades of Gray...To me Black and White television shows always appeared as shades of gray. Trying to sort out what color is what in such a scenario is pointless and useless...it doesn't matter. That's why the answer occurred to me in the dream. At the end of the day all of us are One. Solving the Riddle I was able to see the bigger picture, as it were, and realize that what this is all about is learning that we are all One. The process involves inner work and integration but the work is simple if you are willing to be honest with yourself. This deep soul searching should lead to your ability to love yourself (not that way sicko!). Okay I made you laugh...but really, before anyone can truly love you...you must learn to love yourself...that is the very first step on the path. By realizing that we are all One, by realizing that all of those people in the DVD are One Being Divided battling themselves...I loved all of them. With that realization my Mind, Soul, and Source (or those other three which represent the same concept) came into alignment...my Will was the Same as Source...I had tuned into the vibration of my Higher Self (also sometimes called Christ Consciousnesses) and Source. Within that space there is only love and infinite compassion. Deeper Meditations on the Dream You can stop here if you want...we are about to go into the depths... All of the questions and answers I've ever had are in this dream. Right there, if you have the eyes to see them. So simple and so obvious but so hard to accept at the core of our being after the multitude of games of fear and rejection that we play on Earth (In Alchemy Earth = Fear....the very name of our planet is FEAR!). One Being divided...of course Source does not want us to fight one another. As we find peace among ourselves so too does Source. What we are playing out here is a very very small part of the Cosmos (remember my Mountain Top dream) so it's not that all of Source is this way. Just our tiny little corner of the Multiverse. What we see reflected in the world around us is what is also on the inside. Are we not owning some aspect of ourselves? Are we letting Fear rule us? What we reject in others is what we reject in ourselves. If someone calls you a liberal cry baby....they are denying their inner emotional weakness. If someone is rejecting you because you voted for Trump...it's because they fear 'Change, Chaos, Uncertainty.' Anyone who's had their life torn out from beneath them knows that sometimes we must be reduced to ashes (metaphorically!) before new life can burst forth. The rotten fruit fallen from the tree becomes compost and then feeds the tree so that it may bring forth new buds. This is a natural cycle of "death" (change) and "rebirth" (also change). We just choose how dramatic it will be by how much we resist it and try to hold on to the old. Surprising to some, new is often better...because it represents growth. This is a fundamental part of the experience we agreed to when we came to Earth and to try to disagree with it is to Argue and Deny/Reject Source. Why fight Source, why try to swim against the tide...instead of learning how to swim with it? We come to Earth to learn a multitude of lessons. One of those lessons is to be Individuals our own individuality while simultaneously realizing we are One with Source. We are both. We come from a collective consciousness in Spirit...we don't need to create it on Earth (this is why Group Think is so terrible). What other way can Source create companions for itself? Life As A Dream Alright, and deeper we go... Think of life as a dream. Other people in Dreams are Aspects of ourselves. They are whatever we associate with them. Mikey has his own identity in the waking world. I can't even begin to know what is going on within his mind. By identifying what he means to me in the dream (left brain thinking) I learn about myself. This, on a much larger scale is what God/Source is doing...that's why we were created more or less. WE are God, we are Aspects of God, but we are individual flavors of God. He assigned us different gifts and abilities. He experiences through us...and solve it's own paradoxes through us (please note, that there are three "levels" to God conscious in my paradigm/that I can perceive...the part that we are, the part that is active (learning/Christ Consciousness), and the part that is latent and all knowing. To borrow from Colette Baron Reid think of it as a Cell...there is the Cell Wall (Brahman/Source), Cytoplasm (Active Part/Christ Consciousness/Atman) and us (nucleus)). This is why life can be a metaphor and experience at once (why the Bible can be literally true and symbolic). The flow between these three elements, that are all one but know themselves to also be separate, is fluid. We are the dream and we are the dreamer. At the basic part of this is an encoded aspect which is why 3 pops up so much and 7 pops up so much. This is a very interesting dynamic, delicate and gentle Partnership with Spirit (Christ Consciousness) and Source...a sort of intuitive trusting dance. We can learn to swim with the tides of the Source and the Flow of the Higher Self....and suffering is alleviated. I hope this helps you or at the very least causes you to think. I had two videos attached to this post but I see the one by Bashar has been taken down (happens every time I post one that's not from Bashar communications). If you look into Bashar's work he talks about how by following your highest passion you will tune in with your higher self and find 'a reality that is more alignment' with your true nature. The other video was Peter Woodbury of the A.R.E. but I also found a quote in John Van Auken's book (he also belongs to Edgar Cacye's A.R.E) and in it he says, "To know yourself as yourself and yet one with God." That's the epiphany I have suddenly reached in my life. Some times when researching the deeper meaning of dreams it's much like a blind person must experience a rose. At first I start off with the thorny part, that doesn't seem too appealing. Then when I continue to feel out out there is one velvety petal, and then another petal, and another each folding in upon the other...separate but eventually I start to envision the whole picture. I can appreciate each petal of information but each petal is incomplete without the next layer.
Sometimes when there is too much emotion attached it's hard to interpret a dream so when I look back a year or two years later I have a moment of amazement. I've been researching dreams for over twenty years. I've been working with them for that same amount of time. I've come across a lot of unexplained superstition when it comes to information people provide when interpreting dreams which I dismiss outright. If you get focused on the symbols too much you sometimes get stuck on interpreting those and don't have the context...you focus on the trees so much to where you don't see the forest. This is one of those dreams that I completely didn't understand when I first had the dream. This one is more real to me than some of the memories I have of the waking world. That said, two years later, and I found another layer that this dream provided. Since a lot of the answers I've had have been provided in dreams and then validated by other sources (a curious process I've noticed) I'm committed to sharing some of my more definitive dreams. Often when I had these dreams I didn't understand them, the symbols were complex and the emotional feeling was what stayed with me the most. Often, I receive information in dreams and it's not until I go back after than I see what they meant. Every morning I sit down and write the three or four dreams that I had during the course of the night. I don't try to interpret them. I just write down everything I can remember. I let the emotional charges wear off, then I go and interpret them. Sometimes when I go back my mind is blown and I see that it was a prediction (I had a dream of my doctors name at Kaiser (Palmer), for example, but my soul saw the trip to the hospital very differently then I saw it when I went through that experience). Hyper Reality For me there are dreams that seem more real than reality and I remember them better than I do some real life events. Some might think that this is some sort of psychological disorder. Yet, Eben Alexander, author of Proof Of Heaven, had a similar experience with his NDE which he calls Hyper Reality and he says that there is ample of research stating the same thing with other NDE's (I've only heard him talk on the Moore Show). In the Kevin Todeschi Book, Dream Interpretation (and more!) Made Easy, he explains much the same thing with dreams. The next post will be a Book Review of Dream Interpretation (and more!) Made Easy. A lot of people remember their dreams in detail more than they do some mundane event they didn't attribute a lot of attention to in their waking life. Dreams, according to Edgar Cacyes A.R.E. are the realm of spirit so it makes sense that like an NDE a strong message from spirit would take this form. The Dream At first Ross and I were at the mouth of a tunnel. The tunnel looked dark and scary. I was a reporter sent out to discover and reach a very difficult community.I was to report back what I found. We had torches that we carried as we entered the tunnel. There was a third person, a male, that started off with us on the journey. There was a river running through the center of the tunnel. There were also thick masses of spiders. Some of the spiders were the size of small dogs. The third person chickened out and went back to the opening. Ross continued on with me and we came to a remote Mountain Top. To the left there were all of the indulgences in unlimited supply that the material world has to offer. There were big factories producing food and slurpees. Every delight you might have when it comes to food was offered on the left. Ross went that way. To the right was a temple grown over with ivy that looked ancient and primarily Hindu. I went into the temple and the people there greeted me. I studied and learned how to levitate in meditation. I became pregnant but I don't remember giving birth. I bathed in a shower of blue cleansing water after the pregnancy. I was then told that I would have to go back and report to everyone else 'out there' what I had experienced- those who were not on this remote Mountain Top. I had to report to the people who couldn't or wouldn't come to this place because of the risks associated with it. I was sad to leave but felt that the wisdom that I had gained was worth the journey. That was the end of the dream. This And That One of the things that I have learned about all messages from spirit and all dreams is that they can have a multi-faceted function. There are clearly applicable meanings in our daily lives, sometimes predictions of the events that will happen the next day, and sometimes a broader deeper spiritual message. When I'm deeper in a dream state I know that it will have many more meanings. There are three levels to any one dream that I have...sometimes I go to a specific level and sometimes I have simultaneous dreams on three levels (I know, that was a big revelation for me!). Events At The Time I had this dream in 2014 when I was very lost and didn't want to live anymore. My husband didn't understand why I was returning to my spiritual search which I had suspended upon meeting him. After all, I had one of my deep searches answered when I met him. Of course, to reach that point I had found wholeness within myself. I had undergone a deep spiritual transformation before meeting Ross and that's what created the room for him to enter into my life. I have written a blog abut why he is so perfect for me that I will post soon (I have about twelve written...when you're stuck on bed rest for a couple of weeks that's what happens). I was searching for meaning in my life and Spirit, as always, sent me the answer when I, "Knocked." I didn't get it at the time. I was too emotional and that's why sometimes it's easier to have your dream interpreted by someone else. You just have to be open to their ideas and not take it personally. Dreams are best interpreted by the dreamer, because some symbols are unique (as opposed to archetypes) but emotions and personal attachment to the outcome/meaning can make it a bit hard to decipher meanings. Often Spirit, through dreams, shines a light on the parts of us we don't want to see..the parts of us who have not been integrated...the disowned aspects of the Victim, the Inner Critic, etc. That's when it's hard to look at a dream with clarity. Meaning #1 The easiest way to interpret a dream per Todeschi's book is to identify the story and boil it down to a couple of lines. Here, it would be a journey (which might represent an event), a parting of paths with Ross regarding what we choose to pursue, valuable knowledge gained by me, a pregnancy, purification, and then a return. The Journey and the tunnel could be a "rite of passage" could be the death of Lilith-Ann, the parting with Ross is obvious as I was pursuing my spiritual ideas and he was not...the valuable knowledge, purification and conception (At that time) remained all events in the future as I felt very lost at the time. So, first and foremost this dream gave me a very valuable answer to a question I asked. Why doesn't Ross have a need to explore the spiritual? Why doesn't he want to share all of the interesting information that I am discovering? The answer is very simple. He chose to study the material world (this could go deeper but I won't). Most people choose that path...to fully experience and study the material experiences of this world. I have no judgement of that at all...it is just what happened. Ross is a skeptic. He has chosen not to disbelieve in God nor believe in God. He finished his spiritual pursuit in College (hiss, hiss, boo). He came to a conclusion that works for him and sees not value in revisiting the subject. You see, that Mountain Top place is Earth. Once here, Ross chose material experiences and I chose to explore the spiritual. A very simple truth. Meaning #2 The dream as a metaphor for life. The remote community is Earth. The Cave could be a birth canal and not everyone is willing to come to Earth (shown by the guy who was scared) or complete the Spiritual Journey. I was sent by Source and the Greater spiritual community to come to Earth as a Reporter so that I might report back to the Source about what is happening here. I can't say that this works for everyone but John Van Auken's books and Edgar Cacye sure seem to support that idea. Also, make note that in Jewish tradition there are visitors sent to report on the state of Israel (Edgar Cacye said in a reading: "This is the meaning, this should be the understanding to all: Those that SEEK are Israel. 'Think not to call thyselves the promise in Abraham. Know ye not that the Lord is able to raise up Children of Abraham from the very stones?' So Abraham means 'Call'; so Israel means those who seek. Spiritual Breakthrough by John Van Auken). At the end of life we must return back to the Source. In this case, in my dream the rest of the Cosmos was far more vast than this remote mountain top sanctuary. Earth is just a remote tip to the ice berg that is live in the 'multiverse.' Meaning #3 A Prediction of my Life Most of the dream was Archetypical in nature...that is what Carl Jung would call Universal Symbols of the Collective Unconscious. By choosing to enter the Temple I experience four events. These four events are things that I will achieve or experience while on this planet as a result of my daughters death (I was searching for meaning in why Spirit had allowed me to experience the death of my daughter). Sometime after experiencing these four events I am told I cannot stay and that I must return home to share my report with the rest of creation. I see this as I will not remain in Samsara- that is in the Cycle of Death and Rebirth that so many who are addicted to material realm are stuck. As all four are abstract I did not have knowledge at the time of the dream to interpret them. 1. Learning to Levitate Through Meditation: This is a personal symbol. To me this suggests that I will attain enlightenment. What is enlightenment? There in itself is an essay I could write and a paradox not easily answered. Let's just say obtaining certain knowledge...so that I do what many believe is impossible on a spiritual level. There is magic in the process, but it is an internal psychological practical process. I can say that I have achieved this one to some degree. I have met my Higher Self (a goal some Buddhist monks never attain). I will explain further in another blog where I revisit that subject (I have covered this in a previous blog much earlier in my spiritual path when I wasn't able to put it into context...I just knew it was exciting and that I had achieved something rare). 2. A Pregnancy: Don't go thinking this is about having kids (I mistakenly thought this at first). This is a spiritual pregnancy and rebirth of myself (hence why I never saw a child). Not the baptism of water that we pass off as the spiritual rebirth but something a lot more complex. This rebirth occurs on the spiritual or soul level- not in the physical material realm at all (although the material realm will be affected by it!). A baptism by the fire of Spirit. Being reborn in Spirit requires that you integrate all of those disowned parts of yourself. This is a long process and often takes many lifetimes. I have achieved this and I will visit this topic in the future but here is a often over looked and not understood quote from the bible: "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with holy spirit and fire." Matthew 3:11 A Kundalini awakening involves bringing the "fire" from the base of the spine up through the the 7 chakra's and reconnecting with spirit. The inevitable effect of this is a baptism of fire. This is where I am inclusive and I state that Jesus, or Yeshua if you prefer as I do, was aware of and teaching Eastern mystic ideas (after all, at the very least he studied in Egypt). My Kundalini experience was very unintentional...powerful and probably what lead me to go off the deep end. As Joseph Campbell says, "The psychotic drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims in delight." 3. Purification: The phoenix is the symbol that really represents this stage to me. This is part of the rebirth...the baptism in fire from which we rise up from the ashes of the lives we had in the form of a bird (a powerful archetypal symbol, I might add, that I will explore in a future blog). We hit these stages of death and rebirth several times throughout our life. I've had my identity torn down and had to built it back up...the difference in this latest event with Lilith-Ann is I never built myself up again...I refused to label or define myself in any way in the material world. I stopped narrating my life story or as the Buddhist's call it, "Naming activity." In the dream I was bathing in this blue liquid that was like Windex. What does Windex do when you clean a window or a mirror? It gives you clarity. Hence I gain spiritual clarity through this cleansing experience. Departure: Them I'm told I cannot stay at the Mountain Top. I have to go home. At first I had assumed that this dream was an adventure in spirit. That I had gone "elsewhere" to obtain mystical knowledge in the dream. I knew as soon as I had this dream that it was a powerful message from spirit. But I was so stuck in my earthly material left brain way of thinking that I couldn't conceive what it meant at the time. Plus I didn't have the conscious knowledge to understand the deeper archetypal meaning of this dream. What I have realized since is that the end was Death to the Material Realm. I remember looking out over the vast civilization that started at the base of this mountain. I couldn't see an end to that civilization. This little mountain top community was so small but contained such powerful knowledge. I knew that I would be taking the information that I gained here back to the greater spiritual community...to the souls not brave enough to try their hand at the perils of this world. Conclusion Even at the time, when I didn't understand the dream, I found great comfort in this dream. I knew that it was special. There was just that feeling to it that I couldn't ignore...that there was a deep mystery in it and much meaning I could not decipher. I couldn't understand it at the time. Yet, my research has made it clear this is how it works. The soul journeys here for experiences and then reports back to the Source. Often here, on the material plane of existence we tend to think this is all there is but in that dream it made our little existence here look like a speck of dust that few souls want to experience. Those who choose to come here are very brave because they have to pass through that darkness. What is interesting is that in what I have seen Eben Alexander describes that realm of darkness in between this level of existence and another level of existence. (There seems to be four distinct layers he witness, the earth worm view, the dark layer, the layer where he describes 'angels' and the layer where source seems to exist). Edgar Cacye also reported on a dark layer that he passes through to reach the Akashic record. In Journey of Souls by Michael Netwon it's explained that we often pass through a tunnel to reach 'the other side' and that without help many couldn't do it on their own (in my Past Life session I learned that I knew the way home and did not require a guide to return home). The tunnel might be a way of guiding souls through those different layers that Eben Alexander experienced perhaps through song and harmonics. On an interesting note, only advanced souls are supposed to know the way home without assistance. I am not sure what to think of that. I've been told I am old soul and yet a new soul. I think the way to solve this paradox is that I'm an older soul but new to earth. Some people might call this a Starseed or Wanderer. I don't really care about the label or where I came from but it does make sense. So, right there I have three validations as to the nature of that cave that I had in my dream. Thanks for taking the time to read this analysis and I hope you learned something. To me it was a profound revelation that occurred during the Dark Night of the Soul. |

Thank You For Visiting
