It is all about love, for others and yourself. You go the extra mile, say the extra prayer and give loving attention to your God, your outer neighbors and to your inner selves that appear in your dreams. Through these moves you are loving God and your neighbor as yourself and the extra bonus is that you meet your inner Lover, a beautiful young man, waiting to dance with you, in your dreams.

This recent drawing above came from a dream, where the client is with a youngish lover/man and they are very happy together. 

I am trying to interpret the dreamer rather than the dream. She has been successful in accomplishing a number of her goals. It is a happy dream of uniting her inner masculine and feminine, as depicted in her dream of lovers. The dream confirms that she has succeeded in a goal, that was very important to her, relating to housing and relationship. It was a difficult goal and she had to climb over opposition. 

Another goal of getting a pet, also unexpectedly came together for her, and the bond between her and the pet has made her very happy. 

Interpreting the drawing, there is a pink heart between the lovers and the girl has a pink dress on also, which denotes a warm rosy love in the picture. 

Also the space between the lovers has formed itself into a white heart with the pink heart above outlining the top of the white heart space, turning that space between them into the white heart light of Spirit. 

The Tree of Life is beside the guy. The client had to reach for what brought life and energy into the situation, both into a difficult relationship and into her circumstances. 

The green top on the tree is linked directly to his heart and the life in the situation through his outstretched arm. Her heart is activated through this uniting force of Love, through her Heart Chakra.

There is a river of life flowing out from the Tree of Life. It broadens and leads out into the future. We are all looking for the River of Pure Crystal, lots of light there.  

That is what dreams are and through them you can reach into the life in situations. That is all that is required of any of us. Each situation, is waiting for me to look into the life of it and go there. 

I am organizing my wedding and could not get my feet on the ground about it all. I had lots of Cinderella fantasies about how it should go. I even through of coming to the church in a horse drawn carriage. 

I was at least six feet off the ground. My good friend, at the risk of incurring my wrath, insisted I find what I wanted and pin down what was possible. During the time my feet were in the air and I felt very stressed. 

Today with a little help from my fiancé and another friend I have put all the food issues of the marrying day down on paper and am no longer worried, naming and simplifying it all. I am even finding some time to write this, which always brings some life into me. The sun is going down and I have a little red rug around me for warmth, as I sit outside. 

I continue to meditate at night and in that space I try and pull myself up out of my physical body and my head into my Soul and Spirit Consciousness. I know I am reaching toward the latter two when I feel an expansion. After some back and forth with the mind and body I settle more and ask for the Spirit to leave some impression on me. It is my attempt at opening the door to Consciousness and Awakening. 

During this time I might have a flicker of a dream/vision where I see three vivid red Hibiscus flowers in/on a Hibiscus Tree.That is all I saw.

I love those hibiscus flowers that I brew in my tea. I love that Hibiscus Tree given to me by my neighbor, Mrs Murphy, may be fifteen years ago. With the application of boiling water, the red flower abandons its red color, and turns yellow. The tea turns purple and the red Is gone. I suspect that the magic of that tea helps me meditate. 

The purple is associated with the color of the third eye, which in turn connects us to “If thine eye be single, the whole body is filled with light,” something I am trying to approach through my meditation practice.

Another time I see a blue/white pearl drop down through me in complete darkness. Is it the “treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places” promised in Isiah 45:3? As I read my Bible, some passages draw me to them again and again. 

More recently I was touched by the story of Simon Peter who has fished all night and caught nothing. Jesus shows up on the shore and says “cast the nets.” Jesus insists and Simon catches so many fishes that his boat wants to sink and his nets break. 

At this point Simon Peter gets it. 

Simon goes over to Jesus, and onto his knees and says “Depart from me, forI am a sinful man” Jesus smiles and puts his hand on his head and says to him “Simon, you will be a fisher of men from henceforth.” This passage, which I read, while cycling on my stationary bike, brought an unexpected tear to my eye. I like to imagine I am there too and get the hand of Jesus onto my head. 

I always come away from my attempts at meditation with a highly pleased feeling and I do send out my love, light and prayers for others, far and near, sometimes even remembering my readers. Sometimes, like Peter I get a little in touch with it all. 

Happy Valentine’s Day and may you be protected by your love of the Holy Spirit, Your favorite God, Your favorite Goddess, others and self. 

Love from Rose Marie.
