My Upcoming Year

William Blake Tarot Ace of Poetry (Inspiration) A six-winged cherub descends to touch the poet's lips as he writes upon a scroll draped over his right leg. A manifestation of spiritual power, the cherub represents the divine inspiration as a sexual metaphor. Blake says: "In Beulah the female lets down her beautiful tabernacle, which the male enters magnificent between her cherubim, and becomes one with her." The tabernacle refers to genitalia, the cherubim to the labia, while Beulah is the realm of creativity and sexuality. This card thus symbolizes the reception of inspiration as spiritual cunnilingus, or communicating with the sacred. Blake's lines in the window declare the universal poet's mission, which is to create Poetry by letting spirit in (inspiration), renouncing the "rags" of rules and rationality, and sacrificing one's ego (self-annihilation). "Faith in the Saviour" means believing in your divine self, in your own imagination as your personal savior.

A Happy Ending

Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (Un dimanche après-midi à l’Ile de la Grande Jatte), Georges Seurat, 1884-1886.

In my dream I was getting angry with Naomi because she borrowed my car to a friend to run an errand.  We were waiting at their school looking at art projects, displays and such.  Noah was trying to sleep. The school bus came and ran off the road and crashed then the driver got out and tore it up some more.  Finally Naomi,s friend brought her car back and when I tried to introduce myself and shake hands she wouldn't, she just said, "I don't do that".  She was physically worn for a teen.  So finally we left.  I took a turn down a road that went off road.  We were trying to decide if we should follow that road going through a lot of personal and public property  along the edge of a lake or go back to the main road I was bored of taking.  I could see some landmarks in the distance so I knew we would get to were we wanted but the question was whether or not it was OK to go through other peoples personal and public domains to get to our destination.  They were all out in there yards, juggling and having lots of different kinds of fun.

I am trying to see if I can get somewhere off of the main drag.  I am not sure if it is OK for me to walk through someone else's yard.  The journey looks so much more lively and adventurous that way, even if we get wet or dirty.

A Visit From My Warrior Archtype

 

Warrior

She told my I was cunning, decisive, a wanderer.  She told me her name was Jennifer Alan(Alaine).  I noticed I was being very sarcastic in the beginning of the dialogue and asked why?  Because of being afraid.  Afraid of breaking rules.  She said I was like a rock, but their was something very unusual in side of me.  I saw the large black rock and the diamond buried in the middle.  She said I was coming into fruition.  I need to keep talking with you.  I made the Connection that we both had to first names tying me closer at some level, wondering if perhaps it may have been me somewhere else.

Artist/Self

Yesterday I was sitting in this lovely organic cafe in Minneapolis, listening to old time music, eating an egg sandwich when I realized how good it all made me feel.  I reflected for a minute and realized how much worry and anxiety and guilt I continuously entertain in my puny mind and decided it would behoove me to create a better way of thinking in terms of my life.  Get over the past, don't worry so much about the future and enjoy this present love.  

Symbolic Guidance

Often times all it takes is a little extra sleeping, usually in the morning to let your silent mind speak to your conscious mind while dreaming.  We all have symbolic dream sequences, ones that keep repeating in the same or different forms telling us where we are going or how we are feeling.  The organization of our thoughts never ends since the brain never sleeps, just takes an alternate free form style of processing while the conscious quiets down and lets the other half talk for a while.  It communicates very different, sometimes speaking softly like the divine and at other times screaming out our obvious fears in a mental internal cinema of symbols.

I have one very significant symbol I have seen repeating at different points in my life that signals attaining success or arrival of some kind which is this beautiful Bascillica in Paris, France called Sacre Coeur.  This means sacred heart.  This is a very profound symbol every time I see it because it is signal of hope to me and tells me I am right on track.  It is this very eternal image in my minds eye.

This morning I was dreaming about traveling with friends by train.  As we were en route to our point of destination the train went over some high bridges to reveal some of the beautiful landmarks of Paris.  One was Sacre Coeur and I pointed it out to my companions telling them it was a symbol of great inner meaning.  When we finally arrived at our destination and were trying to change trains.  There was a lot of confusion with all of the people but we eventually made it onto a train only to be stranded out in the middle of a field where there were trains derailed all over the place.  We got stuck there momentarily and then we were summoned to board another train and we were on our way.  As I ran past the back of the car we were going to board, I saw my friend reach under the train and pick up an earring made of turquoise with a scarab as it's main decoration.  I recognized it as my daughters earrings and so picked up the other one and a few other strands of beads and got on board.  The scarab was the secondary image of the dream, a symbol of rebirth and restoration.  That was a welcome dream, a comforting transmission from the other side for me to hear, one that offers me great calm and a sense of centering in my life as opposed to the chaos, loss, etc. that has been a part of these past few months and last 5 years.  Yay for me!  I am getting back on track.

So happy to be a vivid dreamer.  So happy to have Paris.  So happy to be me.
