Dream Talk Notes - (4805)

Here are some notes for a short talk on dreams.


General

☁Plato said: "man is known by his dreams".


☁We go into the astral with our psyche. So what happens in a dream is our psyche acting freely without the restaints of this dimension and the human norms and laws that riule the society that we physically live in. 


☁Dreams show us our psyche and the deep parts of our psyche which is very valuable information. Dreams offer the opportunity for so much self-knowledge.


☁Dreams are usually astral experiences. When our essence leaves the physical body our dreams are astral experiences.


☁We can stay in our body and still dream. We can be split - half in our physical body and half in dream in the astral world.



Types of Dreams

By Centres

☁There are seven types of dreams. They correspond to the seven centres. 


☁We have dreams that are certainly more about one centre than the others.


☁We have intellectual, emotional, motor, instinctive and sexual dreams.


☁Motor dreams often leave us waking up unrested. Instinctive dreams are often nightmares and sexual dreams can and often result in the loss of sexual energy ('wet dream').


☁Many of the above dreams are mere repetitions of the activities carried out through the day.


☁Actually up to 90% of our internal experiences i.e. dreams are repetitions our day's activities.


☁The dreams of the two superior centres - superior intellectual and superior emotional are very valuable. They are usually messages sent to help us, from our inner Divinity that take the form of very vivid and interesting dreams that are very different to the ordinary. 


☁Our interior divinity and the awakened beings of the conscious circle of solar humanity help us principally through the higher centres, and the dreams that pertain to them.





By Sharing

☁There are dreams to be told to others.


☁There are dreams to be used to teach.


☁There are dreams not to be told to anyone. 


By Purpose

☁There are dreams of verification or confirmation.


☁There are dreams of warning, that is of a premonitory quality.


☁There are dreams of revelation.



Attitude Towards Dreams

Everyone has an attitude towards dreams. I encourage you to know your attitude. Even 'dreams are just dreams' is an attitude.


☁Those that take them for real and act to make them come true.


☁Those that like to talk about them.


☁Those that don't want to share or talk about them.


☁Those that disregard them completely.


The first attitude is the most dangerous and can lead a person into problems. I have seen so many men ask women about relationships because of a dream and get flatly refused. Funny but not so funny.



Interpretations of Dreams

☁The world of dreams is the world of symbols.


☁We have to learn how to interpret symbols.


☁Each symbol has seven interpretations, says Master Samael. A symbol can mean something now and later on mean something different.


☁Sometimes we have to mediate on our dreams to get their deep meaning.


☁A dream symbol dictionary as produced by the Masters is a good start or departing point.



Remember Dreams

☁Dream study starts with remembering our dreams.


☁The practical keys are to wake up and not move a muscle and try to remember while completely still. Use the mantra RAM GAOM to help. It is an effective mantra.


☁Write dreams down in a dream journal. Use quick note form. So you are more likely to do it. Make it easy for ourselves.


☁The key to success with all of this is consistence. We have to build up a good record of dreams and get to really know our dreams very well to be able to start to wake up in them.


☁Another key is deep knowing of our dreams. Which comes from remembering them and writing them down and studying them and recognising patterns and correspondences, opposites and affinities between: our internal states and dreams, our physical life and dreams and our internal states within our  dreams and what happens in the dream and the symbols present in the dream.


End (4805).

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
