Q’uote of the Day

" When one approaches that magical thing known as sleep, one realizes that one is going on a journey into completely uncharted waters. One is moving closer to that threshold betwixt that which has any relation to the conscious mind and that which is closer to the geology, geography and topography of the archetypal mind, with its water system of emotions and its various watersheds.When one approaches sleep, then, one knows one is setting out upon a journey. And you may very effectively hedge yourself about with a system of aid from angelic sources, from sources within the inner planes, from your guidance and from your essential self, that self which is the Creator, asking for help. Setting the intention to rely upon that help creates for you a certain foundation for the dream life which is most helpful. "
Some tips on dreaming…
Coming from a different perspective, there is also great aid in the setting of the intention to become aware of the self within the dream. As the one known as S2 has said, the simple remembrance that this is a dream is very helpful in reducing the pain of that which occurs in the dream world. Creating an intention to become aware within the dream by causing that image which is the self within the dream to move, even the movement of an arm or the opening and closing of an eye within a dream, is very powerful in allowing one to move through these very helpful experiences of dreaming in ways which are not fearful or harmful.
Above all, the setting of the intention to use dreamtime for the purpose of service to the one infinite Creator and the radiation of light is very helpful in so arranging the self, known and unknown, in configurations that shall enable one to maximize the experiences found in dreaming so that they may inform one about those deeper energies with which one is working. Remembering that all that occurs in experience, waking or sleeping, is some distortion of love gives you the path back to love itself and you are, above all, creatures of love."
Now during waking hours…I wanted to include this because what is said here is very helpful
"The work to which we refer has sometimes been called “work in consciousness.” It is among the most effective workings which you can undertake in the incarnate state, for it is an opportunity to integrate energies within the self that have not yet been fully brought together. We would, however, issue a caution, and that is that there very often arises, on the part of a seeker, a tendency to make judgments about the self and to use these judgments as part of the process of seeking deeper levels of the consciousness. This can be the source of a rather serious distortion, for if the deeper portions of the mind feel adjudged, their tendency is to withdraw, recoil and shut down. And the possibility of effective healing and integration is thereby cut off.
So we would suggest that when the crossing of the boundary from the liminal to the subliminal portions of the mind is proposed, that it be preceded by an initial act of dedication in love, an act of announcement, shall we say, to one’s own deeper self that one comes into a condition of love and acceptance. This will tend to create the atmosphere in which the energies with which one seeks to work will be inclined gladly to come forth."
In waking conscious for example you know and attempt to recenter again by that own judging, like you are fixing something however as you progress further that becomes a major limitation, love and acceptance is the key. Eg if mind isnt silence then do not judge it… just sit when those thoughts, those louder thoughts of the mind to mind, or those quieter thoughts of body to mind. Here is another summary to really emphasis such a hugely essential and critical concept in spiritual seeker, one that only becomes more and more central as seeking progresses!
“There are an infinite number of ways to work with your basic tuning during your day. They all require from you setting your intention, and without judging or being disturbed by a movement from the desired tuning, working to come into a state of remembrance and the restoration of the tuning.”
So whenever you feel that movement away… thats all fine see it as a loving reminder not an alarm clock or warning sign
