    I'm thinking he needs some love and understanding, and perhaps a little discipline (of the loving sort). But mostly love, understanding and acceptance.

    I've told you one of my "meeting my shadow self" stories. She wasn't very pretty, either.

    Hi, Ruth, GW and Spaced -- very interesting conversation. In the Ra material, there is very little on the Shadow, in my opinion. However, I think there is an allusion.

    Quote:40.15 Questioner: Thank you. A very important concept. Does the fact that basic vibration that we experience now is green true color, or fourth density, account for the fact that there are many mental effects upon material objects that are now observable for the first time in a mass way like the bending of metal by mind?

    Ra: I am Ra. This shall be the final query in total of this working. This is not only correct but we suggest you take this concept further and understand the great number of entities with the so-called mental diseases being due to the effect of this green-ray true color upon the mental configurations of those unready mentally to face the self for the first time.

    Are there any brief queries before we close?

    I guess that is why the Shadow is not a very pretty thing!

    Quote:86.12 Questioner: Is there any other function of dreaming that is of value in the evolutionary process?

    Ra: I am Ra. Although there are many which are of some value we would choose two to note, since these two, though not of value in polarization, may be of value in a more generalized sense.

    The activity of dreaming is an activity in which there is made a finely wrought and excellently fashioned bridge from conscious to unconscious. In this state the various distortions which have occurred in the energy web of the body complex, due to the misprecision with which energy influxes have been received, are healed. With the proper amount of dreaming comes the healing of these distortions. Continued lack of this possibility can cause seriously distorted mind/body/spirit complexes.

    The other function of the dreaming which is of aid is that type of dream which is visionary and which prophets and mystics have experienced from days of old. Their visions come through the roots of mind and speak to a hungry world. Thus the dream is of service without being of a personally polarizing nature. However, in that mystic or prophet desires to serve, such service will increase the entity’s polarity.

    Confused - I wasn't aware that you suffer from insomnia. I do, too, sometimes. Like last night. I didn't sleep more than 2 hours last night. How did you improve your sleep and reduce the incidence of insomnia in your life?

    Ankh - it sounds like you have quite a story to tell. BigSmile Care to share? Cool

    We were in a wooden cottage, and he was in lying in bed, being sick, and looking like he does now. I took care of him. Then he got better and got up from the bed. We went out. It was night and it was winter. The cottage was in the woods and there was a little lake in front of us. Then he turned left and went into the woods. When he came back, he came back as a tall, naked woman. I knew beyond any doubts, as you sometimes just know in dreams, that it was him. He had blue/grey-ish skin and was covered with some kind of... slime? I was holding a jewel in my right hand and his focus was turned towards that jewel. I knew that this is what he wanted. I got afraid and threw it into the lake. I knew that he would go after this jewel, diving into the waters, seeking for it. And I threw it there because I didn't want him to touch me. I knew that if he would touch me, I would also get this... slime (?) on me, and get "dirty". I also knew that he would kind of... not leave me alone, but be... all over me or something... Difficult to explain although it is clear in my mind. The water in the lake was now dirty and slimy too, and he went after that jewel I threw in there.

    I see "shadow self" as a negative portion of unconscious mind which is depicted in the Transformation of the Mind Archetype, and that is why I saw his "shadow self" as this woman.

    The most interesting thing though is that, after I told him about my dream, he told me that he has too had dreams, before mine, where his own negative portion of the mind came to him, tempting him to do "bad" things, looking exactly as I described her, but only older. He too saw her as this naked woman with blue/grey-ish skin and some kind of... sticky slime on her...

    I didn't know about that, that he also has been dreaming about her, looking like that. What a connection we seem to have! And just yesterday we experienced another telephatic connection which was awesome! And it's been like this even before we became mates. Smile

    Was the water slimy before you threw your jewel in that lake? Or only after? In my perception, this water of orange ray is always grimy/slimy.

    It was slimy when I turned towards the lake just before throwing in that jewel there. I don't know if it was always slimy though.

    So you think that this water represents the orange ray? Isn't woods representing the orange ray? You know, how we always say "dark woods of the self"? I thought that it was the woods that represented it.

    I'm not sure what the water represents though... We have been going through this dream several times, and to be honest, I still don't feel like there is any satisfactory interpretation of it. I understand the first part, but not the second, when you came out of the woods on my left side as that woman, or the significance of the jewel I was holding in my right hand...

    Water usually represents emotions, the jewel could be the gift you threw at him, to help him examine his emotions re this shadow self.

    Hello, Ankh! Dreams are very personal items, which carry immense meaning and value for the dreamer. Thank you deeply for sharing your personal story, with little hesitation. Thanks to you, also, Aaron!

    OK, coming to your dream and to your interpretation, Ankh -- I think you alluded to elements of the following quote from the LOO.

    Quote:99.8 Questioner: Thank you. In Card Number Six I see the Transformation of the Mind, the male with crossed arms, representing transformation. The transformation is possible either toward the left or the right-hand path. The path is beckoned or led by the female, the Potentiator. The one on the right has the serpent of wisdom at the brow and is fully clothed, the one on the left having less clothing and indicating that the Potentiator is more concerned or attracted to the physical as the left-hand path is chosen and more concerned and attracted to the mental as the right-hand path is chosen.

    The creature above points an arrow at the left-hand path indicating that if this path is chosen the chips, shall we say, will fall where they may, the path being unprotected as far as the activity of catalyst. The intellectual abilities of the chooser of the left-hand path would be the main guardian rather than the designed or built-in protection of the Logos for the right-hand path. The entity firing the arrow seems to be a second density entity which indicates that this catalyst could be produced by a lesser evolved source, you might say. Would Ra comment on these observations?

    Ra: I am Ra. We shall speak upon several aspects seriatim. Firstly, let us examine the crossed arms of the male who is to be transformed. What, O student, do you make of the crossing? What see you in this tangle? There is a creative point to be found in this element which was not discussed overmuch by the questioner.

    Let us now observe the evaluation of the two females. The observation that to the left-hand path moves the roughly physical and to the right-hand path the mental has a shallow correctness. There are deeper observations to be made concerning the relationship of the great sea of the unconscious mind to the conscious mind which may fruitfully be pursued. Remember, O student, that these images are not literal. They haunt rather than explicate.

    Many use the trunk and roots of mind as if that portion of mind were a badly used, prostituted entity. Then this entity gains from this great storehouse that which is rough, prostituted, and without great virtue. Those who turn to the deep mind, seeing it in the guise of the maiden, go forth to court it. The courtship has nothing of plunder in its semblance and may be protracted, yet the treasure gained by such careful courtship is great. The right-hand and left-hand transformations of the mind may be seen to differ by the attitude of the conscious mind towards its own resources as well as the resources of other-selves.

    We now speak of that genie, or elemental, or mythic figure, culturally determined, which sends the arrow to the left-hand transformation. This arrow is not the arrow which kills but rather that which, in its own way, protects. Those who choose separation, that being the quality most indicative of the left-hand path, are protected from other-selves by a strength and sharpness equivalent to the degree of transformation which the mind has experienced in the negative sense. Those upon the right-hand path have no such protection against other-selves for upon that path the doughty seeker shall find many mirrors for reflection in each other-self it encounters.

    Like the archetypes, I think that dreams too will only haunt or provide subtle hints, rather than explicitly explicate, like Ra mentioned. If that is the case for the dreamer, then you can imagine how pointless it is for an external observer to try interpreting or offering insights. However, it is a temptation to do so.

    From your dream and statements, the following items stood out for me --

    1. Your mate was initially sick and you tended for him.

    2. The setting was the night and it was wintry, which probably forebodes a melancholic matrix, or a mood of the melody of darkness [inspired from this extract from the LOO, 80.10 -- "By far, the majority of adepts remain groping in the moonlight and, as we have said, this light can deceive as well as uncover hidden mystery. Therefore, the melody, shall we say, of this matrix often seems to be of a negative and evil, as you would call it, nature."]

    3. Your mate turned left (probably a reference to the the left hand path or STS mental attitude).

    4. You were holding the jewel in your right hand (probably a reference to the right hand path, or a reference to the treasures that are available when one courts the unconscious as if it were a pure virginal entity).

    5. After turning left into the woods (unconscious mind?), your mate returned as a naked female. That reminded me of the following quote --
    Quote:100.6 Questioner: Thank you. To continue with the tarot, I would like to make the additional observation with respect to Card Number Six that with the male’s arms being crossed, if the female to his right pulls on his left hand it would turn his entire body and the same is true for the female on the left pulling on his right hand from the other side. This is my interpretation of what is meant by the tangle of the arms. The transformation, then, occurs by the pull which tends to turn the entity toward the left or the right-hand path. Would Ra comment on that observation?

    Ra: I am Ra. We shall. The concept of the pull towards mental polarity may well be examined in the light of what the student has already accreted concerning the nature of the conscious, exemplified by the male, and the unconscious, exemplified by the female. Indeed, both the prostituted and the virginal of deep mind invite and await the reaching.

    In this image of Transformation of Mind, then, each of the females points the way it would go, but is not able to move, nor are the two female entities striving to do so. They are at rest. The conscious entity holds both and will turn itself one way or the other or, potentially, backwards and forwards, rocking first one way then the other and not achieving the transformation. In order for the Transformation of Mind to occur, one principle governing the use of the deep mind must be abandoned.

    It is to be noted that the triangular shape formed by the shoulders and crossed elbows of consciousness is a shape to be associated with transformation. Indeed, you may see this shape echoed twice more in the image, each echo having its own riches to add to the impact of this complex of concepts.

    In the above image, is not the female on the left depicted as wearing a transparent upper vestment, revealing her breasts and torso to the eye, i.e., naked?

    6. After the return of your mate, as a female, you were wary that she might pollute you with the slime with which she was tainted. Very curiously, the naked female was all over you, like you have pointed out.

    OK, all the above makes for very rich visual and archetypal imagery, especially coming from an unconscious (and even conscious) mind like yours, which is filled with the LOO. For me, the dream is more like a subtle warning to your mate. You probably have deep gifts of spiritual lessons and intuitive emotional insights (right hand jewel?) to offer to your mate in this incarnation, which he might lose if his attitude of coming closer to you is dictated, more often, by the desirability or beauty of your body, alone. It may probably be an allusion that if that is more often the attitude, then you may try to hide the jewel (throwing it in the lake?). Ironically, once you threw the jewel into the lake, your mate immediately pursued behind it. In other words, your true beauty rises from your inherent invisible spiritual composition, unconscious psychic strengths and preternatural insights, which is what gives you your outer physical allure, perhaps. Thus, your mate focusing more on your outer desirability may diminish the very thing that makes you beautiful, for him. It may be a reference or hint that the time has come in your relationship, wherein lower chakra based sexual attraction or love is no longer the glue; but combined activation of the higher chakra work in a disciplined manner on a lasting basis, is key to unfolding the personal callings of each on this planet. In other words, it reminds me of this --

    Quote:71.17 Questioner: The change in consciousness should result in a greater distortion towards service to others, towards unity with all, and towards knowing in order to serve. Is this correct, and are there any other desired results?

    Ra: I am Ra. These are commendable phrases. The heart of white magic is the experience of the joy of union with the Creator. This joy will of necessity radiate throughout the life experience of the positive adept. It is for this reason that sexual magic is not restricted solely to the negatively oriented polarizing adepts but when most carefully used has its place in high magic as it, when correctly pursued, joins body, mind, and spirit with the One Infinite Creator.

    Any purpose which you may frame should, we suggest, take into consideration this basic union with the One Infinite Creator, for this union will result in service to others of necessity.

    From the latter statements of your post, I have the feeling that you both are probably higher density entities, who have come back in a 3D setting to offer some powerful service, in terms of having a mission on an individual and collective basis. In that sense, this quote is in proper order, I think --
    Quote:84.22 Questioner: Did most Logoi plan, before the veil, to create a system of random sexual activity or the specific pairing of entities for specific periods of time, or did they have an objective in this respect?

    Ra: I am Ra. This shall be the last full query of this working.

    The harvest from the previous creation was that which included the male and female mind/body/spirit. It was the intention of the original Logoi that entities mate with one another in any fashion which caused a greater polarization. It was determined, after observation of the process of many Logoi, that polarization increased many fold if the mating were not indiscriminate. Consequent Logoi thusly preserved a bias towards the mated relationship which is more characteristic of more disciplined personalities and of what you may call higher densities. The free will of each entity, however, was always paramount and a bias only could be offered.

    May we ask if there may be any brief queries before we leave this instrument?

    I think the dream is a nudge towards the bias of building the relationship on more solid ground, rather than simple and superficial sensory inputs. Like the joint relationship and stay together of Don, Carla and Jim, helped in channeling of the LOO, probably, your joint and disciplined stay together may unravel a greater product for the benefit of you and for others, which is right now yet not manifest. Only time will tell!

    I hope I made some sense. All I said is only my personal and very subjective pronouncements. Whatever it may be, you two are highly mature spiritual exponents, with a strong grasp of the LOO, i.e., in a sense, probably spiritual adepts. Thus, whatever I may have written here may be completely redundant. Your powerful wills and its free nature will guide you, I believe. All the best! Heart

    I find it a very beautiful thing that Ankh's shared dream and Aaron's comments have inspired our dear Confused to give such a rich and detailed interpretation with lessons from the LOO.

    Ankh - thank you for sharing so openly. I wonder how you were feeling during this portion of the dream: " . . . And I threw it there because I didn't want him to touch me. I knew that if he would touch me, I would also get this... slime (?) on me, and get "dirty". I also knew that he would kind of... not leave me alone, but be... all over me or something... Difficult to explain although it is clear in my mind. The water in the lake was now dirty and slimy too, and he went after that jewel I threw in there. "

    Not just what you were thinking, "I didn't want him to touch me." But how you felt about it? Afraid? Repulsed?

    I'm just curious. I usually find that if I examine the feelings elicited by my dreams I understand them better.

    Again, thank you everyone.

    BIG GROUP HUG!

    Confused, thank you, my brother, for your reply! You gave me a lot to think about and a desire to study the Archetype Six again! BigSmile It's been a while since I looked into that Archetype, and now I saw couple of things that went unnoticed by me last time. For instance, the male, Ra said, "will turn itself one way or the other or, potentially, backwards and forwards, rocking first one way then the other and not achieving the transformation. In order for the Transformation of Mind to occur, one principle governing the use of the deep mind must be abandoned." So it will take couple (or MANY BigSmile) attempts for the Transformation to occur, of choosing one principle of how to use the deep mind, abandoning the other.

    I wouldn't say that I have already had this Transformation, but I sure *desire* to use this portion of the mind in a positive way. In another dream, which I have had recently, the unconscious portion of the mind let me know that "she" appreciates the efforts of the conscious portion of the mind when courting her, although, she let me know, these portions do have a tendency to "over-court" her. (So still a little bit clumspy I guess BigSmile)

    Another thing that went unnoticed by me last time I was looking into this Archetype, is that the attitude of the conscious portion of the mind does not only circle around its own recources but also *recources of other selves*.

    Thank you, brother!

    I felt that I wanted to get rid of him/her as soon as possible, and that is why I threw this jewel into the lake. I knew that he/she will go directly after that jewel, leaving me alone, and that it will take him time to find that jewel there.

    When I woke up, and still now, I kind of blame myself for doing it. I wonder why didn't I just handle this jewel to him, i.e. being of service? Why haven't I tried to serve him in any way when he was transformed into that entity? This tells a bit about me.

    I wasn't afraid of him, but I wanted to get rid off him as soon as possible, and there was no desire to be of service to this entity. Confused

    Thank you, Ruth! You also gave me a lot to think about! Will do so, examining those emotions...

    Smile/Heart, my friends.

    Hi Ruth, sorry, I did not notice this question, earlier.

    My insomnia is not linked to any bodily illness, per se. It is psychosomatic, due to domestic troubles Sad

    No worries, dear Confused. I pray that your sleep has improved becuase the domestic troubles have abated, and that things will continue to improve, until your nights (or sleep periods) are filled with restful sleep and the sweetest dreams imaginable!

    Knowing our friend Confused a bit, I would venture a guess that he meant "right hand path" though.
