Ten in One: 7:25:08:I'm Eating Way Too Much!

One: Step Right Up:

My digestive system has been an absolute mess in the last couple weeks. I've been on overload, busy, and a little stressed. I've been so busy, I've had little time to myself. What's the best way to handle stress since I quit smoking over a year ago? FOOD! I noticed I was eating compulsively. I haven't had the best stuff to fill up on either. Wanting to analyze the communication to myself, I stopped to think about how that physical ailment could reflect an internal ailment. The digestive system was having trouble processing all I was eating. In prophetic or metaphorical language, eating represents accepting. I realized I was cramming way too much into my life and not having any time to myself to process it. It was all backing up. I had to stop and ask, "What am I failing to process in my life that is blocking me from being able to continue in a healthy way?"

Shamans used to use shakers and bells and really put on a show to "scare away the bad spirits"that were causing illness. These days many blast their mp3 players, watch the tv, or head out to check out a band to "Scare away the bad spirits" - Those thoughts that haunt us day and night that we don't take the time to or don't want to process. These methods often fill us with even more to process, however, as they're full of other people's thoughts, ideas, and information. We just cram more information into ourselves and find ourselves with a good old case of spiritual indigestion.

We have to think about the ideas poured into us daily. We let so much become a part of us without realizing it and incorporating it into ourselves and what we put out. What kind of "bad spirits" or thought patterns have found their way in? Have you taken the time to clean them out or are you just momentarily scaring them away with even more mind food? Are you compulsively eating more information to take your mind off the things you don't want to think about?

If you find yourself in a place where you need to really "scare away the bad spirits", take a hint from the shamans of old and use rhythmic music, bells, drums, shakers....Try to limit words and information. Set the mood for yourself to really think about and process what you've been taking in lately. Close yourself off to information. What kind of thoughts do you find floating around inside you? Which ones need to go?Two: Coming Soon:

Five: The Tightrope:

(a glimpse at the paths I currently find myself walking... )

In the last week, I've found myself on yahoo answers! answering questions - mostly about dream interpretation. Before sharing my possible interpretation, I had to share with people that the dream is always relative to the dreamer and that the meaning of symbols in our dreams depend upon our own understanding of those symbols. For example, a father figure may mean something very different to you than it does to me.

A reality is an agreed upon structure of language: a structure of thoughts and symbols and what they symbolize to you based on the experiences you have had. How do you process them? Nothing you experience or perceive has any meaning until you place meaning on it or are taught to place a meaning on it. However, there are many symbols that many of us have collectively agreed upon a meaning for.

Think about what the events in the dream seem like. For example, eating means taking something into yourself. This doesn't usually really represent food - it usually represents taking in a thought for processing. Reality is experience, and experience is a communication. Communication is intercourse - a give and take of information.

Communication is received from stimuli. Communication is given when you react. It is a language that we must process. At some point, we have to process everything that we take in. Dreams allow us to process things we are not able to or choose not to process during the day. Whether "asleep" or "awake", we are experiencing and may look to interpret symbols and circumstance to "process" a new understanding of information we have taken in.

These symbols make up our soul language. Everyone has their own soul language. Do you know yours?

Six: Sideshow Snippet:

(Snippets from journals )

You have to experience life before you can really succeed at it. Get to know life.

I am no longer human. I am thought, and as I think, I flow into creation.

I am free from the pressure of feeling time constraints and 'worrying" about having enough time to do everything, for I can stretch and bend time when I am calm enough to do so.

Ascension is a rise in your frequency - a rise from one state of being to another: to rise to a state of being where you see existence in its entirety - from thought to physicality, rippling outward and that physicality is always a part of existence.

Help me to be a steady/strong anchor to merge two worlds. I want to be pure love.

Ten: Grand Finale:

I awoke from a nap this week to a moment of complete lucidity where I was in all worlds at once. I found my consciousness high above as I walked to the bathroom, and I could see all that has been, all that is and all that will ever be flowing and moving along in a giant wave of feeling. We truly are eternal, though we don different masks/bodies and play on in infinite scenarios, and sometimes fall into a dream of believing we are something we are not. I felt as if I awakened from one dream to begin to exist in another.

Worry not about rushing to accomplish ...we have all the time in the world. Don't forget that time is an illusion and we can visit any where we want. You are on your own personal time and storyline. The closer you come to realizing that, the more you will understand.

Eternal Beings dance with me in celebration of all we are! With each new revelation, revel in the ability to say: Yippie! I have solved yet another riddle!

May you be blessed with many Revel-ations this week.

Revel - ation: a new reason to revel, jump for joy and see once again just what magnificent creatures we are.

Dream well, dream deep and may all paths lead you back to the heart.

Love, Light and Blessings to send you through your dream,
