I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 103 quote comes from the Introduction and the section on dreaming:
Dreaming
I attended the Adventure Trails Survival School in the summers of 1972 and 1973, 40 miles west of Denver in the Rocky Mountains. It was there that I learned how to use my dreams to get messages from my subconscious mind that were helpful in pursuing my spiritual journey. The first part of using dreams to get these messages was to let my subconscious mind know that I was serious about wanting to grow spiritually. I did this by keeping a pad, pencil, and flashlight next to my bed and setting my intention every night to wake up after each dream and then write it down. I soon learned to put a sock over the flashlight to keep the bright light from waking me up completely while still giving me enough light to see what I was writing. Keeping up this pattern before going to bed each night was my way of letting my subconscious mind know that I was serious about using any message it would give me to grow spiritually. In terms of the mechanics of working with dreams, we would encourage the habit of keeping a small flashlight of some kind, a pad of paper, and a writing instrument at hand before going to bed. If one does awaken during the night with the memory of a dream, one is able, without waking oneself up totally, to turn on this small and non-intrusive light that gives one the opportunity to write down one’s memories. Qu’s shared the overview in how to work with dreams:
It is not necessary at the time of writing those memories down to work with them. It is enough simply to record the thoughts and then to turn off the flashlight, put down the paper and pen, and go back to sleep. It is, however, helpful at some point during the next waking period to go back over these hastily jotted notes, perhaps typing them into a more lasting record and journaling about them in any way that you find yourself wishing to do.
It is perfectly acceptable to use the rational, intellectual mind with its analytical capabilities. It is equally acceptable, and to be encouraged, to help the mind to run off of the logical tracks on which it so often stays due to old habit, and to invite the quirky combinations of thoughts and the insights that come at one from sideways when one allows what this instrument calls the “mind sagging in the middle,” so that points that seemingly are far distant from each other are suddenly brought close and new connections are made. We speak specifically of that seeming dichotomy between the so-called left brain and right brain.
Allow the dreaming process to create opportunities for you to link those two ways of thinking as you contemplate your dreams with insight as well as logic. Encourage your mind to become more and more integrated with itself and able to move with more and more facility between that logic of space/time and that insight of metaphysical space or time/space. You are a dweller in two worlds and the dreaming process helps you to investigate that second world, which is not easily available to be seen in the haunts of humankind. Q’uo, September 4, 2005
The first thing that happened was what the Director of the Survival School called the “junking out process.” The subconscious mind gets rid of a lot of nonsense images and thoughts to see if you really are serious about receiving more communications that might be helpful. The theory behind using dreams for spiritual growth, was that all of us have been programmed in negative behaviors before the age of seven by our parents, teachers, friends, neighbors, etc. Programming, for example, that sex is bad or dirty, that we don’t have the right to stand up for ourselves and be who we are; that we were destined to be caught in the rat race of life just like our parents, that we aren’t good enough or smart enough, etc. Each of us has three or four such blockages of our brain’s energy that kept our brains from performing their natural function. It is our brain’s natural function to circuit our consciousness into our frontal lobes, or the indigo-ray chakra where we can activate the indigo ray and release intelligent energy through some form of an enlightenment experience. Q’uo was able to reaffirm this possibility:
The nature of the brain is such that when changes occur the programming of the biocomputer brain must be altered. This is a painful process. The old programs are, somewhat painfully perhaps, removed, and the energy created by that removal is used to form a new personal understanding or truth, and this crystallization of the self, the understanding of the self, its relation to the creation and the Creator, it moves, but it is difficult.
So we warn each seeker that the path is not a comfortable, joy-filled picnic at all times. There are the oasis times, there are the desert times. In terms of the dynamic of human personality it is necessary that these two basic states of consciousness follow each other seriatim, for there are truths to learn from mountaintop experiences, and there are the same sacred truths to learn when deep in the valley of mundane ordinariness. Q’uo, October 15, 1989
After we were able to record enough dreams to see the patterns of these negative programs emerge, the next phase of this brain self control therapy was journaling.
This afternoon my new computer was delivered to my house, and Austin came over shortly thereafter to install as many of the files that I would need to be able to resume writing and posting my Camelot Journal entries. I am most grateful for his help as it was quite an unusual situation not to have a computer for five days and be unable to answer any emails search the internet for one thing or another.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
December 29
Blessings
We of the principle of love are with you and we greet you in the name of love: love unconditional; love divine; love infinite
It is sometimes difficult in the daily round to perceive the glory of the creation. Take time this day to touch in mind and heart the beauties of scenery, character, grace and wit which refresh the weary soul.
Indeed, there are naught but blessings for the faithful. And all those things which seem difficult are blessings, much as the life experience itself, though difficult, is indeed a time of blessing, learning and achieving for the spirit within.
Let not those things which are below lose the reflection of that which is divine. For all things are instinct with the divine life of unconditional and perfect love.
We leave you in the name of Jesus Christ, in that love and peace to create your experience this day as one of blessing and affirmation, now and forever. 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.
