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.
