Release the guilt

Analysis of dream submitted by Anonymous in Canada.

Dream: I was in a second floor of dank prison with a soundproof door and walls. The window had bars to a colorless, dirt courtyard. A dark man in my room squeezed through the bars to escape into fresh air. I felt this person was guilty of a crime, but I resisted calling the guards playing poker next door. Part of me wanted him to escape. I sensed the guards would not hear me call. I got the attention of a hot, black prostitute wearing red in the yard. She got the attention of the guards next door. They came and set me free. I was puzzled.

Steps:  (1) Reflect on details highlighted by your senses
            (2) Identify what content stands out
            (3) Notice the landscape, color and associated feelings

Interpretation: You are smarter than you think. The mind can seem like a mental prison. The very nature of ego is to instill guilt. This is bestowed on you as a child., the idea you are separate, unique and different. Your suffering depends on judging. You come to feel guilty for inclinations toward love, sexuality or anything you want that is natural. You are taught certain thoughts or behaviours are unacceptable in the external world.  Your nurtured action is to instill guilt (fear of not being loved) in children and other people.

This dream echoes you punish the self unnecessarily. Regardless of what you may have done or considered, it calls for unconditional love.  In truth, there is no such thing as guilt.  You only experience guilt because you think you are separate from what you want.  The fear of not being loved is unfounded.  You are love incarnate in a body that forgets its own being.

Notice your dream captors are gambling. The mind is leveraging some kind of wager.  Who are you playing against? Consider perceived adversaries. You may fear imagined consequences. Ask yourself to reflect on your understanding of 'risk.' Are your worried about losing identity, tarnishing reputation, changing values, principles or beliefs? You have risen to new levels of self-knowledge but do not yet feel comfortable with what you sense about your core urges and unexpected creative or other freedom.

Colors evoke intense emotions and certain ones stand out. Trust your intution about your own associations with color. Black is often viewed as negative, evil or a reflection of depression. Your conscious self urges you to eliminate dark thoughts. Red can represent things like love and passion, sexuality and life force. Reflect on the themes of resistance and surrender, where and to whom? You are the judge and jury.

Welcome whomever comes

"Be grateful for whoever comes, because each guest has been sent as a guide from beyond" –Rumi

Khidr as the one who travels over land and sea, mountains and valleys searching and longing to meet the friends of God. Hakim at-Tirmidhi tells about Khidr a remarkable tale. Khidr knew from the beginning of time what would happen to these friends of God. He wished to see in his own life what would become of their works. Khidr received such a long life that he experienced all of it up to the Day of Resurrection.

Rumi has told the following tale: A certain shahna (a chief of police) was active as such in the days of Harun ar-Rashid. Khidr visited him every day. This shahna suddenly retired from his job. Khidr then stopped visiting him. The poor shahna started to worry as Khidr seemed to ignore him. 

One night it was made clear to him his value was connected to his being active in his work. The next morning he went to the caliph and asked for his job back. Harun ar-Rashid asked him what had taken place and he explained it all. Khidr immediately thereafter again started to visit the reinstated shahna. People forget a person's 'presence' is not always visible.

The shahna then wanted to know of Khidr why he had stopped visiting him. Khidr then said: "The value of your position is that you sit in the Diwaan and protect the poor and the needy and free them from the claws of their oppressors. You should know that this is better than thousand Sufi retreats!"

Awaken from the dream of unreality

Regardless of your vantage point right now, certain aspects of your perspective are obscured. Human beings explore astral realms more consciously as they grow ready to realize everything is transparent. Spirit observes all. You recognize this as you are ready tobe accountable for your choices. How does one awaken more fully from the dream of unreality?

1) Revisit self-observation. Some people assume they already know the answers to all their personal issues. As you admit you do not consciously know all the answers, you can humbly surrender mind control. Recognize shifting and transforming consciousness relate to the nature of truth you can handle at this moment. You never experience anything you are not mindfully-prepared to accept.

2) Sense intentional co-creation. Every person is energy. Individual thoughts and feelings vibrate. Love creates good feelings. They resonate high frequency. Negative feelings resonate low frequency. Collective vibrations contribute to perceived states of Earth. To be conscious of your impact is to make choices that restore harmony and balance in everything.

3)See fear for what it is. Human beings fear idleness. They fear not doing. They are conditioned to do. They forget how to be. One is never certain of the nature of what is accomplished. Part of you still fears it is not what is expected, deserved or assumed. Serenity is rediscovered as you feel unafraid of where you are. Fear dissolves and you are present. Remind the self anything you struggle too much for makes it harder to detach from illusion. Fear not losing what does not exist.

4) Grasp disappointment helps you. To feel disheartened is impetus for change. The more discomfort you feel about your current mindset and conditions, the more energy you direct into appropriate tranformation. Waking up to your true self requires you abandon misunderstandings.

5) Do not permit secret joy in negativity. You encounter people who are impatient to share all their reasons for depression, anger and negative vibrations. Emotions such as jealousy and frustration generate energy that can be channelled in more constructive directions. If these emotions emerge in you, recognize you need not perpetuate them. Choose to reclaim your power. Shift focus to love.

10 Ways to purge junk energy & re-energize

Human beings exist to raise awareness of energy functions within and without. Some people are more willing than others to awaken.  Unwanted thought forms invite negative energies, people, situations and spirit entities that perpetuate what you do not want.  This applies to dreaming and awakened states.

At a given moment, if you feel tired, you may wonder why people or dream entities seem to be draining your energy. During astral projection and earthly events, you may be confused about base energy. You may not realize thoughts create and attract form and formless energy. Consider 10 ways to eliminate unwanted energy vibrations and re-energize;

1) Rest properly. You know by the mirror and also based on energy reserve whether you are sleep deprived. Not getting rest lowers vibration and makes you vulnerable to people and entities that exist to drain energy. They know not what they do.

2) Declutter your life.  This applies to work areas, living space, mind and relationships. Its all interconnected.

3) Heed your dreams. Dream messages come in metaphor, allegory, symbols and sensations to offer wisdom right now.

4) Detach from criticism.  Any form of criticism is a form of self-sabotage. To judge others is a way to reject yourself.

5) Be alert to your mood.  How you feel sends out vibrations and attracts people and situations on a parallel wavelength.

6) Dialogue with guides. Whether in angels, Higher forces, God or universal energies, ask for soul protection.

7) Attune to love.  Positive energy is magnified in loving attitude and compassionate thoughts. You attract energy.

8) Care for the body. To be more conscious of healthy foods, exercise and other choices, all strengthens well-being. 

9) Examine your entourage.  People you hang around or dialogue with shape your words and emotions. Who helps you?

10)  Forgive yourself.  To choose to value what everyone teaches you means you learn to forgive everyone else as well.
