Many thanks for pushing through the difficult times and holding this interesting session. I appreciate your effort very much - the sessions provide invaluable guidance to all of us here.
Actually, there are several bits which caught my attention this time. Firstly, I am very intrigued about the personal transformative framework Laura is working on. Yes, there are plentiful references in the forum about various approaches and methodologies which can be used to achieve this end. However, it sounds like Laura is attempting to draw on all of this information and distill it into a general model adjusted to modern times.
How exciting! It is probably a whole book in itself but, Laura, could you at least provide us with a teaser - apart from the brief foreword to the session? We are certainly living in "interesting times", what are the major tenets of your Stoic/Pauline-Christian/Gurdjieffian model of personal transformation - and network interaction?
(Galatea) Is it because Laura on some level is choosing to receive most of it?
A: Yes
Q: (Galatea) You're protecting us. Thank you!
(L) Ah, wonderful.
Yes, and that choice must have been made prior to being born into this lifetime. Not to mention the extent of challenges and suffering over a couple of decades doing this Work! Most would have given up by now and yet Laura keeps marching on - a march I dare say would continue on other planes of existence, too.
The fabulous aspect to all of this is the major difference it makes to the lives of so many people - even if some choose to trample over the pearls cast before them. Then there is the magnetic attraction of other people who join in the effort - the family and friends who also give of themselves, unselfishly and without hesitation.
This is wonderful, too. Thank you for working so hard to get the crystal network going - maybe, when the next stage commences, we can all share the load and through collective effort relieve the pressure by "distributing the load"? Something tells me that this is going to up the ante in a most interesting way.
A: No. The "sexual center" corresponds to the solar plexus.
Lower moving center - basal chakra
Lower emotional - sexual chakra
Lower intellectual - throat chakra
Higher emotional - heart chakra
Higher intellectual - crown chakra
That was a great refresher course on the energetic body theory. The quote from 20020713 really reinforces the need for good - restful - sleep. I would imagine that recharging of the "sexual center" is more important nowadays than ever. Which kinda leads on to the discussion about the fighting dreams and various harbingers.
I have also been having very very vivid dreams of late - some of them quite combative. I do wake up refreshed though, with a feeling of relief, having "defeated" whatever the opponent was being faced. Since this is not a new thing for me, these dreams come with a degree of comprehension in terms of hidden messages. Also, I have noticed that subtle changes usually follow on the conscious plane.
My theory is that two things happen:
1) An attack is fended off which relieves the psychic pressure - this provides better clarity
2) Working through unconscious blocks, while dreaming, changes perception and thus behaviour - which then manifests itself in a change of environment, guess like a feedback loop
By the way, the discussion about the howling "portents" reminded me of howling dogs and its symbolism. It is also a portent marred with superstition. A brief search quickly came across the following ("
symbolism of howling dog" via Google):
_http://dreamstop.com/howling-dream-symbol/ said:
Howling – To dream of a howling dog or other animal is a sign of approaching danger. You should take this dream symbol as a warning. The howling animal may be a spirit guide, or it may be the internal guide and instinct for self-preservation that we all have. In addition, it may also itself be a danger coming to threaten you.
Howling is a lonely sound that strikes fear into humans’ hearts. Watch to be sure that you are not having to face adversity alone, because you may fail and be harmed. Take the warning of the howling as a sign to gather trustworthy friends around you to support you in the difficult time to come.
Well.
And finally, since this is already getting long-winded - The Big Trump.
A: Yes. Implications are serious and dramatic beyond what is immediately apparent. From our perspective, the import is indeed chilling. Watch how it all plays out. The irresistible force has met the immovable object. Who is more clever?
I found that analogy fascinating - yeah, which one is more clever? First, I thought about "Wise as a Serpent - Gentle as a Dove" which seems like a good guideline for dealing with such situations.
Although, somehow, I do not think that POTUS would necessarily lean towards such a strategy. I am more inclined to believe that DT would bomb Iran to bring on Armageddon and thus trigger the ultimate destruction of the real culprits. But, hey, happy to be wrong on that one!
What I believe is even more likely to happen is for the "irresistible force" to try to undermine the foundations of the "immovable object". For DT this would likely be his family and his business so it will be interesting to see how the struggle of opposing forces will unravel. If this "policy of escalation" continues, it may get real messy for everyone involved.
Anyways, my 22c for the night. Again, a big thank you for making an effort to carry on with the sessions.
This definitively reminds me of some things still waiting for me to get a hand on.
