How to interpret your own dreams

“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” – dreams_and_nighmaresCarl Jung

Dream interpretation and or analysis is a science that is thousands of years old. In ancient Egypt, Greece and other cultures, dreams were considered as a type of divine communication, and the people who interpreted them were said to have supernatural powers.

These ancient cultures thought of many of our dreams as forms of divine inspiration sent to the dreamer to warn him or to foretell the future, and that some dreams were meant to misguide or lead you to destruction.

A majority of authors over the years have held onto the idea that our dreams were in direct relation to our waking lives. These dreams we have while we sleep were simply a continuation of the waking state which always unite themselves with our waking consciousness.

The bee is a sacred feminine symbol of wisdom

33rd Degree Freemason, Manly P. Hall had said, “The beehive is found in Masonry as a reminder that in diligence and labor for a beehivecommon good true happiness and prosperity are found.

The bee is a symbol of wisdom, for as this tiny insect collects pollen from the flowers, so men may extract wisdom from the experiences of daily life. …

The fact that bees are ruled by queens is one reason why this insect is considered a sacred feminine symbol. In India the god Prana–the personification of the universal life force–is sometimes shown surrounded by a circle of bees.

Because of its importance in pollenizing flowers, the bee is the accepted symbol of the generative power.”

Wisdom seeks the middle path

Man’s whole history consists from the very beginning in a conflict between his feeling of inferiority and his arrogance.path of love
