Last night I dreamt of a time when I was living with my parents, and hooligans were putting graffiti on our mailbox and sidewalk outside of the house. I wanted to go after them, but couldn’t for some reason. Time also seemed to be warped in this dream, because I was also older, with furniture that we have now, and I wanted to replace. I couldn’t because I felt threatened by these hooligans; and also threatened by what would become of me if I did something *bad* to them. Strange…
A few years ago I read ‘The Celestine Prophecy’, by J. Redfield. As a work of fiction, the book is rather terrible, but the roadmap of 9 (or more?) insights on the way to enlightenment that it presents is quite intriguing. I’m now starting to use the experiential guide–The first insight focuses on ‘coincidences’ that are indicative of spiritual forces that lead lives to productive ends. This is related by synchronicity in Jungian psychology… Anyway, it is interesting to think about the different ways life seems to fall together to lead us in unexpectedly productive directions.
More updates on this to follow…
