The mind denies seeing the things in their presence without the word and the symbol

The mind denies seeing the things directly, to see them in their presence without the word and the symbol.

You for instance say, that the sky is blue. The one who hears it, interprets it from the conception he has about blue and reproduces it to you in his own code. In that way we live in symbols, and dreams are a part of this symbolic process. We are not able to perceive directly and immediate without the symbols, the words, the prejudices and the conclusions.

The reason for this is clear enough: It is a part of the self-centred becoming something, the will to power with its defence, resistance, escape and anxiety, and where you shut yourself away from life, are getting absent in evaluations and analyses, and where emptiness and loss slide in between, create reflections, displacement and darkness.

In this unreal state reality can only communicate itself symbolic.

The symbol is a telescopying, a representing quintessence of the wholeness, the information-quantities, and the greater clarity, which is connected with reality and presence, but which the absence can´t contain, because it splits, shuts itself inside, or shuts itself away from.

The layers of consciousness are the separation of the observer and the observed

The consciousness has many, many layers.

These layers are the separation of the observer and the observed, they are the disproportion between the observer and the observed, where emptiness and loss slide in between, creating a myriad of reflections, displacements and distortions.

These displacements can be hidden motives, chases, worries, fears, painful disappointments, which originate from an even deeper world of images.

Disproportions are time, the thinking´s past and future, which make the Now´s facts into problems.

These layers can in symbolic form project themselves to the conscious mind, and when the mind then awakes, it says: ”I have dreamt!”

That which is truth in reality and presence, is symbolic in unreality and absence

Symbols from the universal images are formed in the transition from the wholeness of the observer and the observed, to the separation of the observer and the observed.

What reality in itself contains, is real in this dimension, not symbolic, not linguistical.

But when reality becomes unreality in the separation of the observer and the observed, it narrows, loses clarity and light, is being muted to the split consciousness, and that – which in reality was truth – will transmute itself to symbols.

That which is truth in reality and presence, is symbolic in unreality and absence.

It is therefore very difficult for the universal images to communicate themselves to an ordinary absent consciousness.

It requires, that you yourself do your part of the work.

The mind can, by force of clarity, see the common deep thoughts of mankind as visions

Meditation creates clearness.

The clearness from the dissolved and evaporated thoughts and contents will widen the mind out towards the borders, behind which the collective common human structures are found: the images in time.

These common deep thoughts of mankind, can the mind, by force of its increased clarity – the astral state - see as visions: primordial images, religious images and structures, symbols, wisdom-figures, figures from fairy tales, higher worlds, other dimensions.

In short: the astral worlds.

All our relationships largely build on image-formation

It is clear that a human relationship, which rests on various fate-weaved images of life, never can be peaceful, because these images of life is fictional and you can't live in an abstraction.

And yet this is what we all do: we live in ideas, in theories, in symbols, in conceptions we have created about ourselves and others, and which haven´t anything with reality to do at all.

All our relationships, in respect to property, ideas or people, largely build on this image formation, and therefore there is always conflict. 

That´s the labyrinth with the tortuous path and the shadowside.

We are not able to perceive directly and immediately without symbols

The mind seems to deny seeing things directly, to be them present without the word and the symbol.

     

You for instance say, that the sky is blue. The one who hears it, interprets it from the conception he has about blue and reproduces it to you in his own code.

In that way, we live in symbols, and dreams are a part of this symbolic process. We are not able to perceive directly and immediately without the symbols, the words, the prejudices and the conclusions.

The reason for this is clear enough: It is a part of the self-centred becoming something, the will to power with its defence, resistance, escape and anxiety, and where you shut yourself away from life, are getting absent in evaluations and analyses, and where emptiness and loss slide in between, create reflections, displacement and darkness.

In this unreal state, reality can only communicate itself symbolic.

In desire there is both defence and surrender, and therefore conflict

Now and then you change - according to the strength of your desire - the image, the god, the object, of your sense impressions.

You are for instance fed up with one kind of lust, and therefore you seek a new influence, a new idea, a new symbol.

You reject the old sense impression and adopt a new, with new words, new meanings, new experiences.

You defend yourself against the old, and surrender to the new, which you consider as being superior, nobler and more satisfying.

In that way there is in the desire both defence and surrender, which is implying temptation; and naturally, when you evade from a certain symbol of desire, there is always an anxiety present, the anxiety of becoming disappointed when surrendering to the new symbol. 

Therefore desire contains conflict.

It is very difficult for Man to observe something directly instead of through images

The past is based on the images of time, which are of a linguistic kind.

They manifest themselves as symbols.

Language itself is a symbol, and we are used to symbols: we see the tree through the image, which is a symbol for the tree, we see our neighbour through the image we have created of him.

It is apparently about the most difficult for Man, to observe something directly instead of through images, opinions, conclusions, which altogether are symbols.

In the same way symbols play a great role in dreams, and therefore dreams are so deceptive and dangerous.

The meaning of a dream is not always clear, though we realize that it consists of symbols, which we try to decipher.

When we see something, we speak so spontaneous about it, that we don´t realize, that the words also are symbols.

A Dream Master helps you to synthesize and interlock, what your inner thinker in the waking state has divided

When you have trained meditation and Dream Yoga in many years, a so-called Dream Master can visit you through a symbol.

Such a symbol is a telescopying, a representing quintessence of the informationquantities, which the wholeness in a universal image contains.

The Dream Master will in that way canalize information to you from the universal image, which, together with the whole of the universal vision, constitutes the dreaming tracks and songlines in the artwork of your life.

The Dream Master will in that way help you to compose, to synthesize and interlock, what your inner thinker in the waking state has divided.

This is truly Dream Yoga.

Habits are the most stagnating factor, because they hinder us in thinking in a creative way.

We hold the symbol in honour and attribute the word the greatest importance, and to do this is highly distorting. There namely happens that, that the word, the symbol, the image, becomes the most important. 

It is in this way, that temples, churches and the many different organized religions and ideologies, with their symbols, doctrines and dogmas, become factors, which hinder the mind in reaching forth, and discover truth.

The philosophical counselor must therefore all the time remind the guest about not letting him be catched by words, by symbols, which automatically create habits.

Habits are the most stagnating factor, because they hinder us in thinking in a creative way.
