I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 103 quote comes from Chapter Six and the concept of dream work:
Dream Work
I remember as a child in grade school having dreams that caught my attention because they were so wild and crazy. I still remember one in which I was watching a rocket ship blast off for outer space, and I wanted to get on it and ride along. However, most of my experiences with dreams in later years was probably like most people’s in that I really didn’t give much credence to what happened in dreams, and I quickly forgot about them. But all of that changed in the summer of 1972, when I attended the Adventure Trails Survival School in the Rocky Mountains forty miles west of Denver, Colorado. I began dream work that could be described in general terms much like the following quote from Ra:
As a mind/body/spirit complex consciously chooses the path of the adept and, with each energy center balanced to a minimal degree, begins to open the indigo-ray energy center, the so-called dreaming becomes the most efficient tool for polarization; for if it is known by the adept that work may be done in consciousness while the so-called conscious mind rests, this adept may call upon those which guide it, those presences which surround it, and, most of all, the magical personality (which is the higher self in space/time analog) as it moves into the sleeping mode of consciousness. With these affirmations attended to, the activity of dreaming reaches that potential of learn/teaching which is most helpful to increasing the distortions of the adept towards its chosen polarity. 86.7
In this quote Ra listed a number of unseen forces such as our guides, angelic presences, magical personality, and I would add our subconscious minds, that are available to help us become aware of our dreams as well as interpret their symbolic meaning. In 95.18, Ra gave a basic description of a dream vocabulary that would be available to us in interpreting our dreams:
Questioner: Thank you. A question has been asked [which] I’ll ask at this time. In processing the catalyst of dreams is there a universal language of the unconscious mind which may be used to interpret the meaning of dreams, or does each entity have a unique language of its unconscious mind which it may use to interpret the meaning of dreams?
Ra: I am Ra. There is what might be called a partial vocabulary of the dreams due to the common heritage of all mind/body/spirit complexes. Due to each entity’s unique incarnational experiences there is an overlay which grows to be a larger and larger proportion of the dream vocabulary as the entity gains experience.
I had been communicating with T.D. Lingo, who ran the Adventure Trails Survival School, for a couple of months before I attended the Brain In Nature Course that he offered. In this course of study and self-therapy, dreams played a primary role in unlocking what he referred to as the dormant frontal lobes of the brain, or what most people would call the indigo-ray energy center.
The theory that Lingo put forth said that all of us have blockages in our brains that are the result of anti-life programs that are set in motion by the adults in our lives by the time we are around seven years of age. He said that we could use dream analysis to give us the nature of these blockages, and with that knowledge we would eventually be able to remove the blockages so that the natural ability of the brain to circuit consciousness into the frontal lobes would be freed to function in its normal way.
He said that this process worked the best in the primal nature environment where the stimuli reaching the brain are of an organic nature rather that the frenzied static that is the normal product of living in the urban environment. He said that this overstimulation functioned to keep the brain locked in its blocked mode. So each of the students was given instructions as to how to build a lean-to out of sight of the base camp, and we spent our nights there in sleeping bags with a paper, pencil, and flashlight close at hand to record our dreams. The flashlight had a sock over it to keep from waking us completely as we came out of the dream and attempted to record it as soon as we could. Then we would go back to sleep and await another dream.
He told us that our first task was to convince our subconscious minds that we were serious about wanting to discover the handful of blockages that were keeping our brain from being able to circuit our consciousness into our frontal lobes. Our tools for doing this were meditation, contemplation, and prayer. If we were successful in gaining the cooperation of our subconscious minds he said that the first phase of our dreaming process would be what he called the “junking out process”. All kinds of incredible images, messages, and experiences would begin pouring out in our dreams. If we were faithful in recording all of these bits and pieces of thoughts and images, then we would begin to receive more clarified images and messages that were in a kind of coded form. There was a feeling about them that they were important and had messages for us that were usually symbolic in nature although some dreams were quite clear and revealed past memories of instances where we were forced to accept ideas and behaviors from our parents and teachers that were what could be called anti-life or controlling of our behavior in a deleterious way. The overall effect of these kinds of experiences was that they stunted our emotional and spiritual growth rather than stimulating them. Many times these programs were telling us that we were not good enough, that we were stupid, that we needed to obey and give up our free will, and sex was usually represented as dirty and shameful.
As years have gone by, and I have studied the Ra material, I believe that what we were really accessing was some of our more basic pre-incarnative choices that we had chosen with the help of our guides. These pre-incarnative choices would give us a chance to learn spiritual lessons that would aid us on our journey of serving others and seeking the one Creator. However, many of these lessons manifested in ways that may have seemed negative and hurtful so that we could consciously work with them and transform them into positive choices and spiritual growth. I will give you a personal example that I asked Ra about in 59.3:
Questioner: I have a question from Jim that states: “I think I have penetrated the mystery of my lifelong anger at making mistakes. I think I have always been aware subconsciously of my abilities to master new learnings, but my desire to successfully complete my mission on Earth has been energized by the Orion group into irrational and destructive anger when I fail. Could you comment on this observation?”
Ra: I am Ra. We would suggest that as this entity is aware of its position as a wanderer, it may also consider what pre-incarnative decisions it undertook to make regarding the personal, or self-oriented, portion of the choosing to be here at this particular time/space. This entity is aware, as stated, that it has great potential, but potential for what? This is the pre-incarnative question.
The work of sixth density is to unify wisdom and compassion. This entity abounds in wisdom. The compassion it is desirous of balancing has, as its antithesis, lack of compassion. In the more conscious being this expresses or manifests itself as lack of compassion for self. We feel this is the sum of suggested concepts for thought which we may offer at this time without infringement.
Now I would like to share a pivotal experience in my life that I shared with you in 102 but feel that it bears repeating in this section.
So in order to balance wisdom I apparently decided pre-incarnatively that I needed more compassion in my life. But the way I was able to achieve that was by dealing with anger or lack of compassion for myself. This is what Dr. Michael Newton, (Journey of Souls) called “opposites programming”. It is the way many of our lessons are learned. So my first demonstration of anger at myself that I remember was in the fourth grade when I was trying to hit a baseball with a bat by throwing the ball in the air and swinging the bat at it. I kept missing the ball, so I got angry and threw the bat through the bathroom window.
As I grew older and was doing one kind of work or another I would respond to errors I made in the work by getting angry at myself and throwing something or breaking something. I used a lot of duct tape and super glue in those days. Then, one night, just before going to bed, I was sitting in this chair in this room typing on my computer. The power cord came out of the computer three times, and I finally got angry and whacked the back of the monitor with the power cord and broke the monitor. I went to bed a few minutes later, totally demoralized. As I lay in bed I thought to myself, “What if I could accept myself right now in this depth of despair after having broken another valuable tool?” Immediately my heart starting pounding and tears began rolling from my eyes. I knew that I finally loved and accepted myself, and it only took 68 years to do it! Some lessons are meant to take most of the incarnation to learn.
Now we come to the second stage of this freeing of the energy of the frontal lobes that Lingo said was crucial in this self-therapy: journaling, which will be covered in the next section.
This morning I shared a zoom meet with three friends, each of which I have known for over 50 years. We are studying The Ra Contact: Teaching the Law of One and Living Buddha, Living Christ, by Tich Nhat Hanh, but today we concentrated on The Ra Contact. We always have a check-in to start our meeting off, and this time it was most interesting because two of our group went to Costa Rica within the last month, and they said that they had a magical time there. As usual, our study was very interesting as we stopped numerous times in our reading to discuss the spiritual concepts that Ra and Don were talking about.
This afternoon I used my garden rake to rake the loose dirt, that had been dug out to make room for the large pipes for the new sump pump, into the small gap between my brick walk that I reinstalled yesterday. Then I walked on the dirt to pack it down and added more where needed. Then I used my rake to spread the large amount of remaining dirt evenly on both sides of the bricks so that I can eventually sow some grass seed in this area and complete the renovation project.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
March 2
Lift To The Light
I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ and I greet you in divine love.
Has your consciousness failed you this day? Have you awakened feeling as though your candle were nearly burnt out and only a breath of fuel kept you aflame? Have you felt the hard press of cold winds, either literally or in the sense of harsh language and cruel deeds done about you and to you?
In these sometimes sober days, when winter is slowly releasing its grip upon the icy earth and spring is a force still far too attenuated to observe, the life may seem suspended; the heart weary; the spirit sore.
Lift your aching heart to the light now and feel the courage, the humor, the strength, and the joy of surrender to love. You do not have to accept the reality which your body and your senses provide you, for your reality is locked in the full consciousness of love that is the heart of yourself and your gateway to that greater self which is the infinite and divine One in whose name Jesus the Christ comes to give good news to a weary world.
Lift up your hearts and be joyful. We leave you in love and peace, now and ever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
