1995: Universal Aspects of Healing

by Angeles Arrien What are the perennial Wisdoms? What are the roots beyond our cultural imprinting or family conditioning? What is the glue? What are the global “10 commandments”–the Universal Values? I have “uncovered” or “recovered” or “discovered” (from the vast pool of everything that has always been there, just waiting to be “remembered”), four global Universal Values: 1. Universal Value of a deep regard for life. (Thou shalt not murder.) 2. Universal Value to honor and respect what one has created for themselves. (Thou shalt not steal.) 3. Universal Value for Truth. (Thou shalt not lie.) 4. Universal Value for honoring established emotional relationship lines. (Thou shalt not rape.) Among the Basque people and among the majority of Native People of this land there […] Read More

THE UNIVERSE IS DREAMING ITSELF AWAKE

by Paul Levy
When you begin to spiritually awaken, it is like waking up inside of a dream and recognizing that everything you are experiencing is nothing other than a very convincing projection, or display of your mind. The boundary between inner and outer, between dreaming and waking starts to dissolve, and you begin to realize that the same dreaming mind that is dreaming your dreams at night is dreaming your life.

WHAT’S DREAMING?

Well, the Toltecs saw this as a twofold process. First, they saw that we were responsible for what we dreamed in our minds and that that was dependant on where we chose to focus our attention. For example, choosing to be happy is as easy as putting our attention on what is beautiful in life, rather than putting our attention on believing our fear-based beliefs and emotions. Even more important, they saw that we could use our attention to take our focus off of the world our physical eyes assemble for us and instead put our focus on the world we can see if we use our spiritual eyes. Second, they saw that by changing the way we dream in our virtual reality (our mind), […] Read More

Dream Colors

From Dreams Obscure Often, dreamers don’t pay attention to the colors in their dreams. However, focusing more attention on this aspect of dreams may help lead to a more accurate and fulfilling interpretation. For example: A dreamer dreams of a statue, which falls from its place on a mantle and crashes to the floor. Seems pretty broad, huh? However, if the dreamer recalled that the statue was green, then one possible interpretation could be that the dreamer’s jealousy is leading to destructive ends. If a certain color continuously reappears in your dream, it may be time for you to figure out exactly what that color could represent. Your subconscious is most likely trying to comment on something by using that particular color as a symbol. […] Read More

Dreams and their Interpretations

The dreams which we remember and are able to describe are those which occur just as we are falling asleep or just as we are beginning to awaken. It is during these times that our conscious mind is partially active and in a state to receive impressions which are retained by the memory. Frequently, however, these impressions are so faint that they are remembered only for a short time. We may remember a dream for a few minutes when we wake up in the night, but the next day, it is entirely forgotten. On the other hand, there are dreams which are so vivid, and which impress themselves so very strongly upon us, that we can recall them and describe them in detail years afterwards. […] Read More

On Prophesying by Dreams

by Aristotle (Written 350 BCE) Part 1 As to the divination which takes place in sleep, and is said to be based on dreams, we cannot lightly either dismiss it with contempt or give it implicit confidence. The fact that all persons, or many, suppose dreams to possess a special significance, tends to inspire us with belief in it [such divination], as founded on the testimony of experience; and indeed that divination in dreams should, as regards some subjects, be genuine, is not incredible, for it has a show of reason; from which one might form a like opinion also respecting all other dreams. Yet the fact of our seeing no probable cause to account for such divination tends to inspire us with distrust. For, […] Read More

Ego, Apprehension and Dreams

–by Dale Mann Can we purposefully frighten ourselves into experiencing, not nightmarish reality, but unusual psychic events and dreams? Here I’m not referring to telling ghost stories while spending the night in a graveyard or a haunted house—places where anything may happen. Rather I’m thinking of a more relaxed and controlled setting, but in any case the answer to the question is, Yes! Humans and animals, and dare I include insects and plants? (many Seth readers would say, “Yes”) are endowed with a very wide range of emotions that many people believe extend far beyond the small descriptions we assign to such feelings: the usual narrow classifications with love at one end and hate at the other—and everything else squeezed in between. It’s also understood […] Read More
