and even something about inserting yourself into movies…

I wasn’t sure if this meant anything and decided to look for clues and here it is so here goes. I dreamt myself into Star Wars, LOTR and Total Recall all at once. I’ll try to shorten it a little. I was again trapped in the maze of the city, this time visiting grocery stores and not being able to take anything home. Finally I was worn out and sat down to eat. I insisted on paying and my companion got offended and made false accusations against me. He left me without a ride and I realized I had left my coat at one store and my sunglasses at another. I decided to walk back to get them. When I decided this I was then in a snow cave where Obi Wan was completing his trials. He woke up from a trance and dug himself out of the snow.

This is the part I thought, even in the dream, related to you or someone at this site. Thinking the trails were over was sort of a trap. Obi Wan breathing normally caused an avalanche which buried him deeper. More trials. He quickly realized this and went into a trance. Saruman showed up with the machine from Total Recall. (I Never dream about movies, I’ve never seen LOTR, this was weird to me even in the dream.) He put Obi Wan backwards into the machine, like a backwards crucifiction. There was a cat under the machine. I think it was there to calm me down.

Saruman began giving me a speech, most of which I’ve heard before on sites dealing with this type of info. “We came to this planet a long time ago, we are you’re ancestors, we will settle here.” Blah, blah, blah. I went to a microscopic world of mold and viruses that loomed like mountains. I decided this was a dream and I was tuning it out when I was snapped out of this by Saruman. He showed me Obi Wan, who now looked like a man shaped void. He was clearly bragging about his accomplishment and finally turned off the blah, blah, which was running like a recording, and said to me “Why would you trust us?”.

BTW the posts are getting beter and better.

Words are not adequate to describe the quality of angels’ wisdom - it can be suggested only by some generalizations. Angels can express in a single word what we cannot express in a thousand words. Further, in a single angelic word there are countless things that are beyond the capacity of human words to convey. In details of angelic speech there are actually treasures of wisdom in unbroken connection, utterly beyond the reach of human knowledge. Then too, what angels cannot evoke with the words of their language they fill in with the sound, which embodies their sensitivity to the proper arrangement of things; for as already noted, they expresss their affections through the sounds and the concept derived from from their affections through the words. [§§239]

Alethiometer13, 1st try, random clicks, no question posed]:
rhetoric, mechanical work, Christ, resurrection, innocence, evil, poetry, submission

The downloadable alethiometer is cool. Although some of these I’m reading way too literally…

I set the dials to:

[Bird] [Anchor] [Madonna]

and got as my response:

{succor, inspiration, fate}

In other words, one dolphin and two thunderbolt

Within the definition page for “succor” is a reference to both a “goddess of mercy” (madonna) and a “thunderbolt” and even something about inserting yourself into movies…

The second type of meaning via suffering is guilt. When a person abuses their relationship with others, or commits a crime, the feelings of guilt are very important. Frankl shares the experiences a prison inmate who wants to feel guilty but the system will not allow him to experience it. The convict explained to Frankl that in the system, “The criminal never has a chance to explain himself. He is offered a variety of excuses to choose from. Society is blamed and in many instances the blame is put on the victim (Man’s Search 149).” The problem that the inmate describes is a terrible thing. For man to move forward spiritually he needs to allow himself to discuss what he has done in the past. In this specific case the system does not care why the inmate did what he did, only if he did it or not. This blocking of discussion in turn prevents the individual to go on his search for meaning.

I saw wings. many morphing, moving images of wings and indistinguishable flying things.

that morphed into a snow-capped mountain.

I think the other way to think about these symbols is that they *mean* what they *are*. That is, mountain means mountain. But meaning is derived according to how things are placed in relationships with one another.

I did your exercise from yesterday, the inner image exercise. I saw wings. many morphing, moving images of wings and indistinguishable flying things. Today I did it again and got a triangle, or an arrow pointing up, that morphed into a snow-capped mountain. These were all in answer to “what do I need most now?” I think the answer is ‘higher perspective’ or to raise my consciousness out of the evil black iron prison programmed thinking mode to a higher level.

Have you ever heard/read of Image Streaming? Win Wenger? I read a great book on it a couple years ago (which I’ve been meaning to reread) called The Einstein Factor, very much along the same lines as you’re talking about, in some ways more in-depth, but in other ways more limited. Worth reading though. He also, like you, is a huge advocate of speaking things out loud. He gives some really interesting reasons for this.

Anyway, yeah. more later.
