Reach inside for the key

Analysis of dream submitted by P.

Dream- Herse driver stands on a beach beside trailer towing a dingy.  A man, woman and child leave in a larger boat. Driver waves goodbye, then, realizes he does not have a certain key. He drives a distance along the water and keeps family in sight. He heads them off where they have to pass closer to shore. Driver waves his arms to get their attention. The man comes ashore in relatively calm water. He jumps off the boat, gives a key and returns to family. Driver opens trunk and uses key to open the casket. He puts something inside. Then, he tries to run, but feels paralyzed and cannot move.

Name three key issues you grapple with now in waking life:

1) When to have children
2) Legal obstacles prevent freedom to travel
3) Family health issues (life and death matter)

Notice what stands out:

The herse driver represents endings and new beginnings. He transports a casket that symbolically contains something you have outgrown or no longer need. Part of you resists lessons available to help you move on. Deciding to appreciate where you are helps you to sense reasons to stop struggling. If the mind focuses on something or somewhere you are not, you miss the value of just being and opportunity to surrender.

To feel immobilized suggests your unconscious desires are not yet aligned or 'in-sync' with current conscious wishes. When ego mind imagines fear and soul echoes love, this can result in confusion. Misunderstandings about imortality trigger physical experience that humbles you and offer new insight.

Helpful people or guides are never out of reach. Your intution directs you to what you need. This includes family, support systems or, the appropriate moment for certain biological and other life choices. Your thoughts and emotions create your life. Boats symbolize coping mechanisms at your disposal. 

Part of you is ready and willing to confront the unconscious and whatever frightens you. That part is shifting your sense of reality and what is possible. If you are not completely honest with yourself and others about what you really want and how you feel, then you permit fear to control you and obscure truth.

Liberate yourself from fear

Every thought and feeling has a specific frequency. To choose to free yourself from fear is to detach from one frequency and to simultaneously create another.  Each lesson learned is a stage in transformation. As you clear misnderstandings from the mind, you raise unseen vibration to attract what you need. 

In other words, you shift attention from what does not matter.  It does not matter what you did not notice yesteday. It does not matter you had little faith or trust in your abilities before now.  Reality is multi-facited and multi-dimensional and you decide which parts stand out for you at this moment. 

At this moment, something wonderful is presenting.  You register what you are ready and willing to see. You chose to temporarily overlook what evokes discomfort. That matters less that realizing you are in the process of sacrificing what you thought you were in favor of what you are.

1) List five things that you would rather not experience.  What suggests this would not be good for you?

2) List five things you have already endured and would prefer not to repeat. What lessons do you learn?

3) List 3 blessings for each experience you do not want again or would like to avoid. How is each one useful to self-growth?

4) Pay attention to the nature of energy and feelings that flow though you as you think of sources of fear and blessings.  What insight do you gain into your own hidden sensitivities? 

Invite what you need more consciously

At this moment, part of you is awakening to realize you have the capacity to more consciously influence the direction of your life.  Consider how you are in process of transforming.  This is not about struggling or forcing things to happen. This is about shifting focus to feel the energy available within your authentic self and permitting it to flow naturally;

1) Visualize the people and conditions of choice.

2) Feel the heart and pulse of this expanding dream.

3) Add tactile sensations to the multi-sensory experience. 

4) Notice how life events fade away in favor of replacements.

5) Sense the vibration of what is incompatible with this vision.

6) Recognize thought energy can dissolve the undesirable.

7) Dissolve fear and mental blocks that prevent energy flow.

8) Use discipline to think and feel only the vibration of choice.

9) Expect multi-sensory visions to manifest inward/ outward.

10) Know deliberate intention is powerful energy to create.

Grasp an unfathomable mystery

When something mysterious is drawing you into it, how do you describe it? Could this be a dream? Where is the exit? The sensation is beyond name and form, has no link to dogma, no label of a particular philosophy.  This transcends any words that can be used, and still, something is dying to reveal itself.

Untapped wisdom is awakening.  It is spreading.  Mystical sensations and events are available to any being that truly wants them.  Every moment, you are given opportunities to select among what comes your way. You prioritize, discard and ignore based on what you are ready to accept. In which ways do you already begin to grasp an unfathomable mystery?

1) Experience a sense of indescribable awe and wonder

2) Free the mind from human time and associated anxiety

3) Enter realms beyond the physical without fear

4) Explore the reach of prayer, meditation and loving service

5) Sense love as a divine musician composing and playing soul

6) Gain insight into unity, sensitivity, humility and balance 

What makes despair excellent?

Despair is like hopelessness. Its a word used to describe how you feel when you sense you have lost something important. This could be a job, a relationship, a situation that had appeal. You were attached.  Despair is about when you are ready to give up on yourself. It relates to resisting forced detachment. 

And yet, part of you hesitates to believe this perspective is impartial or meaningless.  You catch a glimmer of light amidst the apparent negativity.  What prompts you to view despir as suddenly excellent? Consider 15 mind-blowing benefits;

1) You see, hear and laugh in completely new ways.

2) You learn the universe orchestrates its own justice.

3) You build love, compassion and honor to heal wounds.

4) You realize nothing matters as much as you thought.

5) You discover a shift of focus awakens deeper mindfulness.

6) You feel exhaustion and then calm, fearlessness and silence.

7) You embrace universal equality with renewed sincerity.

8) You slow down to detect feelings of unimpeded harmony.

9) You realize humility triggers profound devotion to nothing.

10) You see eliminating craft and profit erase motive of theft.

11) You experience diminished desire, and return to simplicity

12) You recognize long-established comparisons are trivial.

14) You sense form is neither full nor empty, just present.

15) You grasp nothing harms you unless you give consent.
