Shift from Belief to Awareness

Notice many people talk about what they want and wonder why it all does not simply show up. Turns out, if we are not in vibrational alignment with what we are requesting, it cannot show up. This is the Universal Law of Energy in motion.

Truth is, as our vibration increases, we start to achieve and experience harmony with the universe on many levels. Some remain unseen. For those we do see, this has nothing to do with random occurrences, "getting lucky" or stumbling on the right people or opportunities. The higher or more expansive our vibration, the more we consciously control our reality, align with what resonates in our Soul.

Many ways exist to sustain a higher vibration. In essence, its about creating body-mind coherence, so the body and mind work in perfect synchrony, like an orchestra with many instruments. To align with core vibration stabilizes us on a frequency much like each of us can tune into a preferred station on a radio dial.

Come what may, attitude and consistent practices are important. This is how we rewire the brain, create new connections and simultaneously raise our energy. All this has huge consequences in the external physical world. Of course, its one thing to read about a concept. Its quite another to put it into practice and manifest directly for ourselves in real time experience. This is the path of the alchemist, the Hero's journey. That is, an energetic shift occurs from belief in heresay to awareness of what is always here and allowing it to enter our field.

The Ultimate Pointer

Notice the body functions on instinct. Consciousness operates naturally through intuition (or the language of the Soul). To accept and act on instincts with absolute joy, without guilt or judgement, guides us to feel into intuition. If it seems body and soul are in conflict, this invites closer attention inside ourselves.

The body and soul share a vision yet operate on different planes. And just as instinct functions in its own way, through signs and signals that are learned and read, so does intuition have a language of symbols, feelings, sensations that the human journey guides us to recognize and trust implicitly. This is inner harmony.

Intellect is a bridge and a potential disturbance on our journey to expanding consciousness. Intellect is where fear can take hold. Its up to us whether we tune in and respond. Any fear we hold is rooted in fear of death. This prevents us from truly living. Fear tells us we have reason to feel trapped, that free will is out of reach. The vibration of fear disconnects us from our divine power, true Self, love essence, creativity, intuitive guidance, freedom. Fear focuses us on the external.

Every person and situation is a prospective encounter, teacher and guide to see deeper into ourselves. Each one can be viewed as a hindrance or a stepping-stone to experience the vibration of a higher plane of functioning. As we shift into multidimensional being, we relate to intellect as a stepping-stone. It dawns every thought and feeling we create emits a vibration into the universe. As we master our own thoughts and feelings, we master energy flow and shape new realities.

Dream Analysis of the Week- Terraced garden

Dream:

The dream took place on a terraced farm cut into seven levels alongside mountains.  A man stood next to an old fashioned (heritage) Australian Queenslander house. Red dusty sand was blowing around him. He, the dry land and house seemed somehow out-of-place in the surrounding terraced farm. He looked up, remarked he could not see beyond clouds.

At the next step down was the lady who was tending to a lush area of green plants at mid-calf level.  Although the man looked for someone with a hand above his brow to shade the sun, he did not see the woman. She reached into her pocket, took out a credit card and asked her daughter from the next level down to step up, go to local shop to get some seeds.  The daughter smiled, said "I don't need the card." Lady shrugged, "okay" and accidentally dropped card in the water where is could not be found.

Stepping back, the lady looked up, saw 3 levels of floating gardens were growing different crops above the clouds. The rice was lush and green. Alternating crops included flowers in vibrant colours and vegetables growing in swirls above and below levitating soil.

Insight:

Mountains represent challenges, goals, milestones and things to work toward.  Terrace farming prevents soil erosion and contributes to soil conservation and keeps crops well-watered. Nowadays, the method allows growing versatile crops, and its management is more comfortable with online agricultural software. Notice the man is unable to communicate with the woman. This points to possible issues being seen and heard as you are.  Stepping away from what you outgrow may help you nourish your spirit and grow in new ways.seeing yourself working on a unknown farm represents new beginnings on the horizon and possibilities going forward. 

On another level, the HUman is like a 7-story house.  Each level is represented by the chakras which are cosmic doorways to different states and stages of consciousness. Notice humans generally live and die on only one floor.  The conscious mind is the floor on which we live. Directly below is the underground basement or unconscious.  Below that is the third floor or collective unconscious.  Still lower, the fourth floor, is the cosmic unconscious.  Above the floor on which we live is the super-conscious mind.  Above that is the floor of the collective conscious. Above that, is the cosmic consciousness.  From where we are then, there exist three floors above and also below.  If we only focus on where we are, we miss the bigger picture. 

Self-realisation is about becoming familliar with the entire arragement of 7 levels and taking it further to experience each one directly. Its not about staying up above the clouds in the higher levels or getting bogged down at the lower levels. Nothing can remain unfamilliar or unknown. No stone can be left unturned in this process.  Each level has its own initiations. The reason is that one cannot be one's own master so long as one is a slave to (fearful of) the unknown. Reflect on the number 7 and its significance in your life- i.e. colours of the rainbow, # dwarves & traits in "Snow White", days of the week, energy fields, ect.  Awakening is about growing more spiritually-inclined, more apt to go inward, see from different points of view. Its natural to explore more levels of one's inner house, to shed light on shadows and expand into more of true nature.

The dream also invites the dreamer to review his own perception of current needs, pull out or let go of what is obsolete or outgrown or overgrown.  This is a message about listening to spiritual (inner) guidance rather than material conditioning. Different kinds of abundance present.  Meditate on abundance, wealth, what you sow.

Dream Analysis of the Week- Sold the Teeth

Dream:

It seemed my dream referred to a past life. I lived in Egypt, and wore tattered cotton clothes in faded colours. From my window, I saw sand blowing and pyramids in the distance. I struggled to survive. I even sold my teeth for money.  When awake, I touched my teeth to see if they were there.

Insight:

To say, "I had a dream..." is very deep.  How do you know?  The answer is simple.  The 'you' who looks through your eyes and sees the outer world is experiencing events occurring in the dream.  Only one conscious being exists.  You are either experiencing the dream world or the waking world.  Note you intuitively use the word "I" when describing the dream events and also when waking up. This reinforces they are one in the same.

We can explore a few symbols that stand out:

Teeth- Teeth are physically used to bite, tear, chew, and gnaw. In this way, teeth symbolize power. So the loss of dream teeth (or removal on purpose) may refer to powerlessness, giving away power or feeling loss of power or influence in waking life. At the moment you recall this dream, you may experience feelings of inferiority and a lack of self-confidence in some life situation or relationship.  Yet, we are also reminded that each time we lose something, we are gaining something in the process.  It is our focus and level of consciousness that determines how we respond.  ON a literal level, losing teeth implies that you are growing out of one phase (or have outgrown where you are). This is about grounding a new level of consciousness in your body. Embrace change!

In addition, as another way to reframe loss of teeth or what they may be used for: there is a warrior legend about a being who was fighting a God and won, emerged from the ocean wearing a shark tooth. This is why many surfers and divers like to wear this magic piece of jewellery-it symbolizes protection and safety.  When one wears jewellery or a necklace with teeth of one's ancestors or from the mouths of enemies, each tooth is like an embodiement of the deceased, whose power & energy was transferred to the wearer.

Sand- you may associate sleep with the passage of time, impermanence and sleep (or unconscious behaviour). Ask yourself where in your life could you be living with a sense of impatience, what triggers a sense of timelessness, feels like you do not have enough time, how to make the most of the time you are given? You may feel like you have blown into your circumstances or like restlessness and discomfort are out of your control.  What if you refelct on the soruce of the wind and nature of direction in new ways?

Pyramid- a structure with multiple facits and dimensions. It can appear to represent your 'internal architecture', a geometric reminder there is far more to you beneath the surface. You may also sense this 3-D shapes echoes the trinity- mind,body spirit. The pyramid in a dream can embody transformation, interdimensional tral, parallel doorways, that something on the horizon or well-underway. Pharoahs and important people were buried  within or under them as a passage to the "Otherworld" as it is believed something about pyramids holds the key or acts as a path to a higher level of existence. Certainly, further spiritual aspects present, inviting to be explored.

Reference to money is an invitation to ponder your relationship with scarcity and abundance.  Its opportunity to count your blessings, practice appreciation and tune into reasons for peace and contentment often overlooked.
