INTERPRETING DREAM FROM JANUARY 2010 - SYNCHRONICITY

"Why am I interpreting this now? Well yesterday I interpreted a dream with dolphins in it, my new life path was revealed - and this morning I looked back at the beginning of 2010 and came across this dolphin dream that was never interpreted so decided to have a go at it, knowing what I know now of my January this was a treat! Confirmation and entertaining view on one's journey in life!"

DREAM OF 31.3.2010 + DREAM INTERPRETATION ON 11.12.2010

I had a dream last night about three signs, Aries, Taurus and Aquarian. It took place outside the window, on the windowstill, of an old skyscraper. There was a woman who didn't need anything physical to stay standing in front of me, a man next to me on the window still and a second woman who walked past me to a ledge. I was only affaird of heigh occasionally when i looked straight down.
I can't recall what the two other sign did, but Aquarius turned me to a sea creature, probably mermaid like or dolphins, I didn't see me, but I felt ½ and ½.
I then woke up in my dream on the ledge and they hasseled me that I didn't even see anything. So I tried to remember really hard and got a date 31.3.

I woke up, then, officially woke-up.

I checked the calender for 31.3 - cause in my dream it was a on the place of the third weeks friday - this year it would be last week's monday.

Edited on December 11th 2010 with Dream Interpretation:

Balcony = To see a balcony in a dream or dream that you are on a balcony is symbolic of a need to be acknowledged. It might also be a sign that your social status is improving. ( sure needed to be akcnowledged in this part of my life, there was a huge changed coming - and my soul was literally showting "see me!" )

Astrology = To dream about astrology implies that you are apprehensive about upcoming events. You need to pay very close attention to what is being communicated to you and determine what influence it will have on your life. ( spot on! January, February and March were all about learning to communicate through trial and error while my connection my Higher Self deepened )

Woman = A woman or women generally represent intuition, creativity, nurturing, and love. ( the women didn't do much in the dream - but they symbolod this dream coming from my intuition )

Man = Depending on the details of the dream, the masculine figure could be interpreted as the Creator or Destroyer. ( creator for sure! He created me into this half human half dolphin  )

Dolphins = Dolphins represent friendliness, communal living, rescue, communication, and affection. They are water dwelling mammals and in our dreams they represent our willingness and ability to navigate through emotions. They represent positive messages from our unconscious minds. Dolphins could also represent a positive connection between our consciousness and to those parts of the psyche that is a mystery and largely unconscious. ( this was prime emotion navigation time - positive message from the unconscious mind about 31.3.2010 to me )

31.3.2010 What happened?

Finding strength in power of being a Finn, researching true history of the Finns and contemplation on the non-meak heritage gave me a oomph of right kind of pride: http://niinac.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Beginning of April, I contemplated on sacred text, and the meaning behind the biggest sacred book of our time the bible, and "The Hidden History of Human Race"... both of these begun me to understand finally what is Jesus, what are we as humans. And the biggest thing! I picked up Eckhart Tolle's lecture on The Now - and after that there was no turning back, this was it. My April, my shift to "The Now Consciouness - The Integral Consciouness" from Post Modern view. http://niinac.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

The Full Moon is Tuesday March 30th 2010. This is a "Blue" Moon, in modern terms the second full Moon in a month. We also had a "Blue" Moon in January. "Blue" Moons roughly occur once every 2.5 years, but to have two in the same year is rarer, roughly once every 20-25 years.
Full Moons of this time period =
THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 2010 AQUARIUS FULL MOON
TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 2010 ARIES FULL MOON
TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 2010 TAURUS FULL MOON

"I had a dream last night about three signs, Aries, Taurus and Aquarian."

"At the time of a Full Moon, you should expect a culmination of events to occur within 4 to 5 days of its occurrence. Full moons close chapters and often bring a sense of finality to your life. You can't have a fresh start without closure in other areas; otherwise we get bombarded with issues that never end and our lives collect so much clutter that it becomes chaotic."


What are the odds of that kind of synchronizity? April 8th I discover Eckhart Tolle's view on The Now - which profoundly changes me, on April 23rd I discover A Course in Miracles that confirms everything I ever wondered about life, spirituality and the Now included released all my old shadows and just lfet peace in me. ( 23rd is with 5 days of the Full Moon of Taurus - yes incase you were wondering I am a Taurus - those ten days around April 27th  were the change, the profound, life changing days for me )

Why am I interpreting this now? Well yesterday I interpreted a dream with dolphins in it, my new life path was revealed - and this morning I looked back at the beginning of 2010 and came across this dolphin dream that was never interpreted so decided to have a go at it, knowing what I know now of my January this was a treat! Confirmation and entertaining view on one's journey in life!

Love, Light and Joy!

MUSIC - JEWEL, SPIRIT

I rarely do album reviews, and trust me this isn't really one.

I simply wanted to let anyone who is in their life spiritual to know few things recarding this album.

The album is Jewel's Spirit.

Even the title gives promise, that is also delivered.
If you have read some Course in Miracles and Ekchart Tolle's Power Now & New Earth, you will love this album.

Why?

Well-- I have gathered some bits of lyrics on each song and added youtube links as well.
So read on and decide if you find it as beautiful and spiritual as well.

   1. "Deep Water" (Kilcher) – 4:16
we've compromised our pride
and sacrificed our health
we have to demand more
not of each other
but more from ourselves

   2. "What's Simple Is True" (Kilcher) – 3:34
'cause the more i live
the more i know
what's simple is true
i love, i love you

   3. "Hands" (Kilcher, Patrick Leonard) – 3:54

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
and not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear

My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
and I am never broken
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFLPwv6b3lI
 
4. "Kiss The Flame" - 3:16

there are nightmares on the sidewalks
there are jokes on tv
there are people selling thoughtlessness
with such casualty
but wherefore art thou, romeo
where have all the brave men gone?
show me one man who knows his own heart
to him i shall belong
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEIadjAFrfw

   5. "Down So Long" (Kilcher) – 4:13
i take a trip, i catch a train, i catch a plane
i got a ticket in my hand
and then a man takes my money
and like cattle we all stand

   6. "Innocence Maintained" (Kilcher) – 4:08
a small town in ohio
two boys are filled with violence
and darkness spreads its legs for hate and ignorance
we are given to a god to put our faith therein
but to be forgiven, we must first believe in sin
we've made houses for hatred
it's time we made a place
where people's souls may be seen and made safe
be careful with each other
these fragile flames
for innocence can't be lost
it just needs to be maintained

   7. "Jupiter" (Kilcher) – 4:18
oh, oh jupiter
oh, oh be still my little heart
oh, oh love is a flame neither timid nor tame
take these stars from my crown
let the years fall down
lay me out in firelight
let my skin feel the night
fasten me to your side
say it will be soon
you make me so crazy, baby
could swallow the moon

   8. "Fat Boy" (Kilcher) – 2:54

   9. "Enter from the East" (Kilcher) – 4:02
i went out a-wandering
beneath an unknown sky
the heavens all shook violently
he caught my eye
strange fruit fell
it struck me to the core
my heart became a single flame
it wanted nothing more

  10. "Barcelona" (Kilcher) – 3:53
but if you could hear the voice in my heart it would tell you
i'm afraid i am alone
won't somebody please hold me, release me
show me the meaning of mercy
let me loose
fly, let me fly, let me fly

  11. "Life Uncommon" (Kilcher) – 4:56
lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
no longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from
fill your lives with love and bravery
and you shall lead a life uncommon
i've heard your anguish,
i've heard your hearts cry out
we are tired, we are weary, but we aren't worn out 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYjFJQ_AIRc



  12. "Do You" (Kilcher) – 4:21
we shake our fists and say,
"well good golly, we're mad
that god kills children with our very own hands."
we claim innocence and not to understand
or do you, do we?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOVzkz9cLwI

  13. "Absence of Fear" (Kilcher) – 7:25
I am wanting, and...
I am needing you
To be here
Inside the absence of fear
There is this hunger
This restlessness inside of me
And it knows that you're no stranger,
You're my gravity

ON FEAR AND CONFLICT

photo by sarcastic*fantastic

ACIM 

Chapter 2 VI.Fear and Conflict - 2.

2You would not excuse insane behavior on your part by saying you couldn't help it. 3Why should you condone insane thinking? 4There is a confusion here that you would do well to look at clearly.

A Course in Miracles doesn't ever leave me out cold. I love how simply things are said, with such profound effect. The quote above was from the first thing I read this morning. I had ACIM on my computer table and opened it. The whole passages 1 and 2 state that Fear seems involuntary, even though it is not (according to ACIM) and that fear shows that you have taken thoughts of the body trying to infuse them to your being. Which doesn't work, creating fear. Fear of shame, fear of violence, fear of hurt feelings. So it is insane to cause this to yourself once you know of it, right?

As much as you wouldn't go on an insane rodent killing spree - you should be aware of your thoughts.
Woody Allen said it well at end credits of Vicky Cristina Barcelona, 'Cristina continued searching... certain only, of what she didn't want.'

If you do not want to feel hurt, angry, jealous, timid, burned, then it is up to you to see what causes it, and is that valid.  Many people say yes it is valid it is a human emotion - lets look at that... Human emotions, part of your human existence - if you are nothing more than the body and brain impulses, neutrons in your wave length then perhaps fear is part of you. But if you believe that there is more to you than this body, that there is existance beyond the physical body then ask your self if that existence feels fear?
If you answered no, then perhaps it is time to start body training period to let go of the illusion that you have to be afraid of various emotional of physical dangers.
Know that people aren't out to get you, each and every human being is your brother or sister going through this same human experience. One being not above another, but on a different place from you.
When this is realized, it is so easy to love one another as the sister or brother that they are to you.

TRUE STATE

Peace & Love
Originally uploaded by Fernando Gregory.

"To meet Error with anything except the desire to Heal is confusion."

Error is any type of 'Lack of Love' such as hate, anger, gossip, negative thoughts, negative words, frustration or anything that caused these.

Heal is to place Love where there is too Little. To forgive the 'Lack of Love' and to place into it the brightness that comes from Unconditional Love. From Soul to Soul, not body to body.

Confusion is a state of unhappiness where life is struggles and small victories meshed in a tangly web.

NUTRITION AND SPIRITUALITY

 Yes - if you come here regularly you probably noticed I was gone for few weeks.
Summer literally decended on Finland with a WhaM! Suddenly it was sunny, super warm and everything green emerged from the buds. I took up exercising again and time seemed to fly.

All this light brings out so much joy in people - there is laughing now and happy silence when you just lift your face to appresiate the sun and it's light and warmth.

My birthday went by, I received my personal copy of  A Course In Miracles which I am deliriously happy about - and so many warm, happy thoughts from people who wished me happy birthday. :)
I also got a HUGE bouquet of white lilys that now dominate my kitchen with an aura of peace and angelic joy.

This loosing weight business had me confused about it's spiritual origen for a while until I got what it meant for me. See spiritually speaking I am at a Great place right now in such a peace that I am finally okay with absolutely everything - but for years there has been this tug-a-war with my body.
I believe now that this is it, the final adjustment to my diet* (*way of living through nutrition with excercise) then last dropping of the pounds so that my Body can be as Healthy as my Spirit. :) Before my urge to loose the last stubborn 20lbs I was at a place where my diet changed dramatically, I cut of all meat, except for fish for now, and suddenly dropped of all alcohol (some of you know how much I enjoy wine with a good meal) which seemed to just irk at my spirituality.

These changes came before, along with a sudden desire to eat only to fuel my body, and make the food with total love and peace and dedication. This was bit shocking for a former emotional eater, who used food to fuel all kinds of thing besides the physical body. Since I started reading A Course In Miracles I finally had my values straighten - I was reminded that it is all Love, it comes from it and it is the greatest mean to forgiveness of one's self first and then others.

 (My Photograph will open up in Wallpaper size if you click it)

I did a TON of Forgiving! I forgave myself for thoughts of inadqusy, thoughts of anger or hurt, thoughst of self hate. I forgave everyperson who had every offended me from first grade, through upper classes where I was bullied A Lot for being smidge too different, and I forgave appsenses and hurtful glaces. Now my days come with forgiving on daily basis, I notice myself in hurt state and forgive myself for feeling this illusion of emotion and I forgive the person who I projected having hurted me. (Oh I could go on and on about Projecting - that evil thing! ;) ) Somewhere here amist forgiveness stint I forgave myself for taking my body to unbalance and started to recover.

I was very confused these few weeks because I was focused on loosing weight and Living Healthy AND Spirituality, instead of just one. This confused me because I have always been a person who gives a 100% focus one thing at a time, Spirituality, then dumb that to diet then dumb that for photography and so on and so on... Until Now! NOW it's Diet and Spirituality and I can still give 100% for both, which means I have finally found My Spirituality, I have found my Path, my Journey - not too bad for my 28th year of existing.

FORGIVENESS IS IT

LESSON 122

Forgiveness offers everything I want

What could you want forgiveness cannot give? Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers it. 
Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world? Do you want care and safety, and the warmth of sure protection always? Do you want a quietness that cannot be disturbed, a gentleness that never can be hurt, a deep, abiding comfort, and a rest so perfect it can never be upset?
All this forgiveness offers you, and more It sparkles on your eyes as you awake, and gives you joy with which to meet the day. It soothes your forehead while you sleep, and rests upon your eyelids so you see no dreams of fear and evil, malice and attack. And when you wake again, it offers you another day of happiness and peace. All this forgiveness offers you, and more.

Forgiveness lets the veil be lifted up that hides the face of Christ from those who look with unforgiving eyes upon the world.
It lets you recognize the Son of God / Brotherhood of Humans, and clears your memory of all dead thoughts so that remembrance of your Father / Higher Self can arise across the threshold of your mind. What would you want forgiveness cannot give? What gifts but these are worthy to be sought? What fancied value, trivial effect or transient promise, never to be kept, can hold more hope than what forgiveness brings?
Why would you seek an answer other than the answer that will answer everything? Here is the perfect answer, given to imperfect questions, meaningless requests, half-hearted willingness to hear, and less than halfway diligence and partial trust Here is the answer! Seek for it no more. You will not find another one instead.

Your Higher Self's / God's plan for your salvation cannot change, nor can it fail
Be thankful it remains exactly as He planned it. Changelessly it stands before you like an open door, with warmth and welcome calling from beyond the doorway, bidding you to enter in and make yourself at home, where you belong.
Here is the answer! Would you stand outside while all of Heaven waits for you within? Forgive and be forgiven As you give you will receive. There is no plan but this for the salvation of the Son of God / Sisterhood of Humans. Let us today rejoice that this is so, for here we have an answer, clear and plain, beyond deceit in its simplicity. All the complexities the world has spun of fragile cobwebs disappear before the power and the majesty of this extremely simple statement of the truth.

Here is the answer! Do not turn away in aimless wandering again
Accept salvation / Let go off Illusions now. It is the gift of God, and not the world. The world can give no gifts of any value to a mind that has received what God / Higher Self has given as its own. God wills salvation be received today, and that the intricacies of your dreams / illusions no longer hide their Nothingness from you.

Open your eyes today and look upon a happy world of safety and of peace 
Forgiveness is the means by which it comes to take the place of hell/life of illusion of fear. In quietness it rises up to greet your open eyes, and fill your heart with deep tranquility as ancient truths, forever newly born, arise in your awareness. What you will remember then can never be described. Yet your forgiveness offers it to you.

Remembering the gifts Forgiveness gives, we undertake our practicing today with hope and faith that this will be the day salvation will be ours
Earnestly and gladly will we seek for it today, aware we hold the key within our hands, accepting Heaven's answer to the hell we made, but where we would remain no more.

Morning and evening do we gladly give a quarter of an hour to the search in which the end of hell is guaranteed
Begin in hopefulness, for we have reached the turning point at which the road becomes far easier. And now the way is short that yet we travel. We are close indeed to the appointed ending of the dream.

Sink into happiness as you begin these practice periods, for they hold out the sure rewards of questions answered and what your acceptance of the answer brings 
Today it will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers, and the joy the lifting of the veil holds out to you.

Before the light you will receive today the world will fade until it disappears, and you will see another world arise you have no words to picture 
Now we walk directly into light, and we receive the gifts that have been held in store for us since time began, kept waiting for today.

Forgiveness offers everything you want 
Today all things you want are given you. Let not your gifts recede throughout the day, as you return again to meet a world of shifting change and bleak appearances. Retain your gifts in clear awareness as you see the changeless in the heart of change; the light of truth behind appearances.

Be tempted not to let your gifts slip by and drift into forgetfulness, but hold them firmly in your mind by your attempts to think of them at least a minute as each quarter of an hour passes by
Remind yourself how precious are these gifts with this reminder, which has power to hold your gifts in your awareness through the day:

Forgiveness offers everything I want

Today I have accepted this as True

Today I have received the gifts of God

ACIM AND SEEING

A Course in Miracles has seemed to have complitely awoken me. It's like I knew all this about Spirituality but now I get the true nature of it.
To simplify it, I knew all these rules about "football", the playes, rules and the players - but it was nothing until I saw it played.
That's how I feel about this Book.

I do think the flu was the final step of purification as I ran into this book right after healing.
My new guide also after the flu told me this has been long way coming. And that lately I have been given all I need to take this next step. he put it in way that I am right at the edge of a cliff face, the next step is to to the air. A step to a place that cannot exist and and uphold you if you have fears. If you have illusion of the physical protecting you.

It was monday for the first time that I took the next step - and suprise there are always more steps. ;)

Just as there is no beginnings, there are no ends - there is only right Now.

I'm quite exited that my vibrations lifted and that this book is now what I am studying so that I can learn what it is that I am here to do, and how to do it.

First words from A Course in Miracles:

This is A Course In Miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum.
It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time.
The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance.
The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.
This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way:
Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.

QUOTES FROM A COURSE IN MIRACLES

The correction lies in accepting what is true in YOURSELF, by bringing ALL that you are into light. (Helen fearful of writing next part.) Cacey was wrong about Possession, and he was also wrong about hurting himself. One of the major problems with miracle workers is that they are so sure that what they are doing is right, because they KNOW it stems from love, that they do not pause to let ME establish MY limits.

While what he (Cacey) did came from Me, he could NOT be induced to ask me each time whether I wanted him to perform this PARTICULAR miracle. If he had, he would not have performed any miracles that could not get through constructively, and would thus have saved himself unnecessary strain. He burned himself out with indiscriminate miracles, and to this extent did not fulfill his own full purpose, and was also subject to the Scribal error I mentioned at the start. The Disciples were also prone to this.

The answer is NEVER perform a miracle without asking me IF you should. This spares you from exhaustion, and because you act under direct communication the trance becomes unnecessary. Because miracles are expressions of love, it does NOT follow that they will always be effective. I am the only one who can perform miracles indiscriminately, because I AM the Atonement. You have a ROLE in Atonement, which I will dictate TO you.

- Christ, A Course in Miracles

A miracle is a correction factor introduced into false thinking by ME.
It acts as a catalyst, shaking up erroneous perception and snapping it into place.
This correction factor places man under the Atonement principle, where his perception is healed.
Until this has occurred, perception of the Divine Order is impossible.

My part in Atonement is the cancelling out of all errors that you could not otherwise corret. Whe you have been restored to the recognition of your original state, you naturally become a part of the atonement yourself. (Niina's: As to Atone is to Undo the Absence of Love, to me this passage means "Place love to where there is too little. Love those who have been wronged to atone the lack of love left by other's physical thoughts and actions.")

The soul is in a state of grace forever.
Man's reality is ONLY his soul.
Therefore,man is in a state of Grace forever.

- Christ, A Course in Miracles

A COURSE IN MIRACLES PART.1

A Course in Miracles has been for years on my list of books to read.
I even tried it once but I wasn't ready. I ended up not having time and energy to delve into it.

A Course in Miracle was channelled, scribed. The information came through Sananda Maitreya also called Son of God, Jesus Christ and ascended master very well known to humanity.

But I came across a 10 page print with Lessons 51 - 60 in sort of clift notes.
And it absolutely resonated with me on a whole new level.

I believe this is because I am finally comfortable with God and Son of God, and know what they mean. I use to be stuck on the bible terms and it threw me off the book.
Now I can read it, now that i know what god and Jesus mean to me.

To me God is... I am God, You are God, We are God. Our Higher Self the part of us that is pure, light and connected to absolutely everything on earth is God. As our Higher Selves are connected to everything we are also connected to each other's Higher Selves forming God.

To me Jesus (Son of God/Sananda) is... Humanity, Me, You, Us. Our Human form is the collective of Son of God. Half of me possible to connect to my Higher Self through spiritual awareness and half of me in the throws of my ego, my mind and my thoughs. All of us in our human form make Son of God.

With this in mind ---

Lesson 51
1 Nothing I see means anything. 2 The reason this is so is that I see nothing and nothing has no meaning. 3 It is nessacery that I recognize this, that I may learn to see. 4 What I think I see now is taking place of vision. 5 I must let it go by realizing it has no meaning, so that vision may take its place.

What I got from this is... 4. Seeing things without being present. 5 Be still, Be in the NOW to see.

With this in mind I looked around online and gathered this for a Free .PDF read:
