The UFO and the Subtle
Body
Contemporary History and Future
Developments in Nine UFO Dreams
Part 2:
"The turning point has been reached, the
earth has changed"
This e-mail (see part
1) the dreamer answered as follows:
It is extremely
interesting and at the same time new for me to see how you
approach these things. In my dreams, it is often night-time with
the moon or stars appearing in the sky. In this respect, I had
previously felt that this was related to my inner processes. (I'm
also rather introverted in my everyday life.) Thus your
interpretations do in fact correspond with my hunches although I
must confess that I feel slightly lost when it comes to terms like
"inner quantum physics", "subjective vs. objective perception of
time" or "psychification
of bodily matter".
Therefore I first had to explain these new
terms that I need to define the weird processes in the alien world
behind or beyond depth psychology and quantum physics, which happen
in this psychophysical reality or unus mundus, Wolfgang Pauli
and Carl Jung looked for (see also A
New Melody, a New Genesis).
My intention is to describe these new
experiences - which mostly but falsely are classified by
psychiatrists as symptoms of schizophrenia - on the basis of a union
of quantum physical theory and depth psychological experience. More
than 50 years ago, the famous physicist and Nobel laureate Wolfgang
Pauli searched for an empirically testable theory which explained
such experiences on the basis of the so-called unified psychophysical
reality, an "inner-outer realm" which he thought existed behind or
beyond the inner world of depth psychology on the one hand and the
outer world of physics on the other. My dreams of the last 30 years
seem to show me that it is my fateful challenge to continue, as far
as I can, this task, which he began together which Carl Jung (see
also my essays in www.psychovision.ch/synw/synfrsch.htm).
In order to do this, it was first and foremost necessary to define
the novel terms that describe the structure of this unus
mundus and the processes which can happen in it. In the following
sections I will therefore describe some of these terms in greater
detail.
Let us begin with the phenomenon of time: It
is very important that we distinguish between physically measured and
psychically experienced time. Physics states that time - in systems
that move much slower than light - is based on an objective measure:
the second. Psychic time, on the contrary, is relative, as is psychic
space. Neither of them can be measured objectively. Therefore, some
people experience the difference between these two kinds of time and
space and, like you, come up with out-of-body experiences (see also A
New Melody, a New Genesis).
Today, as an effect of our modern Western way
of life, psychic time is gone through increasingly faster. This means
that our inner measure of time becomes increasingly shorter. Carl
Jung writes:
"[Neurotic]
restlessness begets meaninglessness, and the lack of meaning in
life is a soul-sickness whose full extent and full import our age
has not as yet begun to comprehend." [CW 8, § 815]
Thus, the crucial challenge of modern man
consists in again learning "to dilate time", to enlarge his inner
measure of time. This is exactly what happens in my Body
Centered Visualization. This
"dilatation of time" is one of the most difficult things to learn,
not only for me but for most people. Ultimately, it is a mystical
experience we can hardly express in words, an approach to eternity
while we are still on this earth so to speak.
The symbolic term "inner quantum physics"
describes the observation of inner events in one's own soul and
body in a state of "dimmed consciousness" (Eros
consciousness) which - as dreams do, too - arise spontaneously
("quantum leap"). However, contrary to dreams they are connected with
an intense feeling and sensation that they are "more than dreams",
much more "bodily", some sort of "inner physics". Such
experiences are very similar to those UFO abductees tell us about.
They always stress, too, that such weird events are different from
dreams, much more real and more substantial.
You continue your e-mail as
follows:
When thinking of the
latter [psychification of bodily matter], my thoughts,
ideals and beliefs that are frequently directed inwards come to
mind. If I understand you correctly, I'm not (yet) able to
actually live them on the outside. Does the process of the
psychification of bodily matter thus require that the inner
voice is followed and that the logic or outer compulsions should
be largely overcome? Also, I'm not quite clear about the
CONSTELLATION you see within me. Is it to travel downwards and
thus release the divine part within myself? Is this something you
encounter often but usually without an indicated solution
(contrary to my case)? What IS the solution? Is it, as already
mentioned, to release the divine part within oneself and to break
free of dogmatics?
When I am talking of "psychification of
bodily matter", I mean a process which we can observe
empirically in four different manners.
The first is dreaming. Dreams
consist of images that are created when in a hitherto unknown place
in our body - in the brain, in the vegetative nervous system's
centers, in Michael Gershon's "gut brain" - matter is transformed
into psyche. Because the collective psyche has at its disposal an
"absolute" or "preconscious knowledge" (Carl G. Jung), deep
persuasions, which can also be experienced as clairaudience, can
belong to this process. Individual ethics contrary to collectiv moral
standards are often in the background of persuasions of this kind.
Therefore, Carl Jung speaks of "conflicts of duty"
(Pflichtenkollision; CW 14, § 778; GW 14/II, § 433), and
from this "illness" you seem to suffer.
When we are dealing with these conflicts we
are dealing with what Jung calls the individuation process. I
translate with "following the Tao" which means that we must - perhaps
against our own resistances or that of the outer world - first learn
to become conscious of our fate unconsciously lying
dormant in our soul, and second to follow it.
Where the individual challenge of this
psychification is constellated more intensely, so-called
synchronicities happen, in which outer phenomena are observed that
contain a parallel meaning to one's own dreams. I interpret the outer
event of synchronicities as psychification of matter, too: The latter
behaves as if it knew of our inner state, and knowledge is psychic.
Therefore, the so-called inanimate matter must have got some sort of
psyche.
Mostly, this second process,
the "synchronistic life", begins with strange events, which we
somehow experience as meaningful, but because we do not look at our
dreams, we cannot see their exact meaning. Therefore, we should begin
to write down our dreams - if there are any. This will help us to
extract the common meaning of the outer event and the dream, which
will in turn enable us to experience the "preconscious" or "absolute
knowledge" of the collective unconscious which knows our fate. After
a phase of inner insecurity, we will finally be able to find our
individuation process, i.e. the "flow of the Tao".
For Carl Jung, living the "synchronistic
life" - finding the meaning in synchronicities, which in itself will
lead to a more fulfilling and creative life - was the solution for
the above-mentioned problem of neurotic restlessness and
meaninglessness, and therefore the last step of psychic development.
It is a creative spiritual life, like the one the great depth
psychologist lived himself.
However, my personal experience shows that
there is a growing number of people who - sometimes parallel to the
constellation of many strange destructive events - get into a
third process which is different from dreaming and
synchronistic living. Their problem is that they do not dream and
therefore they cannot deal with the contents of the unconscious and,
therefore, are not confronted with synchronicities either. They
cannot work out the meaning of dreams and synchronicities, and are
thus more or less lost in their restless and meaningless lives.
By and large, these people are rather
extraverted and very successful in their professional lives. But then
suddenly it happens! They are overwhelmed by UFO encounters or even
by abduction experiences. Although in these "alien" events, some sort
of psychification of matter takes place also - the UFOs know the
intentions of the victims and, sometimes, the UFOnauts tell them
profound truths - the event which is in the foreground is some kind
of materialisation: Out of "nothing" - which means out of the
potential psychophysical realm or unus mundus - an act of
creation takes place in which "matter of the 3rd kind" incarnates
into our world. This matter is subtle body-like and does not at all
behave like physical matter.
When we compare these phenomena with
synchronicities we can recognize the following difference: In the
latter, the psychification of matter happens twice, empirically
observable as a dream on the one hand and as a meaningful outer event
on the other. As we have seen, Carl Jung suggested that this meaning
should be realized in our individual life. Mostly, such a solution
would be the realization of ones own spiritual-psychic
creativity.
However, contrary to the synchronistic event,
UFO victims experience both, a psychification of matter
and an incarnation of living matter. Thus, the
above-mentioned difference to synchronistic phenomena consists of the
fact that in UFO encounter and especially in abduction a
bodily-psychic creativity is at work. This is the deeper
reason, why so many of these events are full of sexual symbolism. The
result of this incarnation is some sort of "subtle matter", which is
neither matter as we experience it with our five senses nor "normal"
spirit/psyche as we feel it inside ourselves, but the logically
excluded third, namely the subtle body.
A further difference between these alien
observations and synchronicity is the fact that in the former both
events - the psychification of matter and the incarnation of subtle
body - happen in outer space. As I mentioned above (part
1), this is due to the fact that
people who experience UFO encounters and abductions stay in the Logos
consciousness which is itself concentrated on the outside. At the
moment of the encounter or abduction, they are unconsciously forced
into Eros consciousness which is able to observe the "Eros universe"
of relative space, time and gravitation. But because of their
conscious Logos attitude they experience these incarnations of
spontaneous acts of creation in outer space.
Therefore, the solution to this problem - the
fourth manner of dealing with such events - consists in
the development of a conscious introverted Eros, a
novel consciousness which can observe such processes in one's own
soul and body. By concentrating on one's own belly with the help of
Eros consciousness, it is possible to draw back the projection of UFO
encounter and abduction experiences from outer space. Compared with
them, the progress of such a meditative attitude lies in the
experience of not being at the mercy of the "UFOnauts" so much
anymore. The change from the extraverted to the introverted
observation seems to give one the possibility of influencing these
events to much greater extent: The slave becomes
participant! So far, my experience even shows that it is a
deep concern of the "UFOnauts" that we transfer the process into our
interior and in doing so experience it much more consciously.
Furthermore, with the help of the above-mentioned introjection, the
mostly destructive processes can become constructive, they change
into a vision of a creation myth, which seems to be the goal of the
"extraterrestrial's"' intentions.
As we will see below, this creation myth
constellated today consists in the so-called archetype of the
coniunctio, the sexual union of a male and a female deity for
the purpose of the birth of their child, which is the deified subtle
body and/or the redemption of the world-soul. Therefore, by drawing
back the projection from outer space, a process can be observed anew
which was - in a more archaic manner - already described by the
Church Father Origenes (see Marie-Louise
von Franz: Dream and Death,
chap. 1) and by the medieval alchemists: the redemption of the
deified subtle body out of bodily matter (see also Neue
Mystik und Leben nach dem Tod
und Was
und die Träume über ein Leben nach dem Tod
sagen).
As much as I can see, your dreams talk of this challenge,
too.
******
My e-mail with the interpretation of the
first eight dreams crossed with one of the dreamer, in which she sent
me the last of these very strange UFO dreams. Thus, I included an
interpretation of this ninth dream in my answer, too.
Dream of 1/6/02 ("Two
Moons"):
A quite cheerful young man with
a slightly darker complexion comes to see me at home (which looks
different). Soon I start telling him of my problems. He seems to
understand most of my fears because he often nods and asks
specific questions.
I've prepared a meal consisting
of rice with scrambled egg and steak, and we're sitting at the
table. There's a large window behind him through which I
frequently look while I'm talking. Then he leaves.
I meet this same young man in
the forest. He is looking for disciples who will carry out a
project with him that needs to be kept secret from all other
people. He is a little smaller now, his body a bit more sturdy
than before. His skin is still darker than mine. I love him in a
very special way (like a guide/guru) and sometimes hug him.
However, I'm not part of his
discipleship because I'm not allowed to (i.e. it seems as if
society wouldn't let me if it became known). A young woman with
the same dark complexion takes my place. Although I'm a little
jealous I believe that she suits him far better as his number one
companion than I do. I remain a welcome visitor at all
times.
Their headquarters are located
in the upper part of the forest (one has to walk uphill to join
them. They are frequently carrying around large items/cardboard
boxes etc.). During one of my visits he takes me to a clearing (it
is night-time) and tells me that the turning point has been
reached, i.e. the earth has changed, something new has now
started. I ask him: then why are we unable to notice anything?
Nothing appears to have changed. He says we need to be ready to
look (or: not all of us are able to see it) and turns his head
towards the night sky. I do the same and see the moon, at first
halfway hidden by trees. It appears to be only half (with a
somewhat irregular cross-section) but shortly afterwards it is
full, maybe not as bright as it could be but it clearly shows the
usual pattern. Further down towards the horizon there's another
moon, a little bigger but less bright. I'm fascinated by this
phenomenon and find it extremely beautiful.
Your dream completes the series in a really
grand manner. Out of the "preconscious knowledge" of the collective
unconscious - which is a property of the dream's "guide/guru" - it
describes the situation on our "mother earth". It is a prophetic
dream which brings your subjective situation - in alchemical terms:
the microcosm - together with the objective situation of contemporary
history - in the macrocosm.
You feel that something very new has happened
in it, therefore you ask me:
With respect to the last
dream: Do you think I made a step forward, i.e. do I seem to be on
the right track?
Yes, I see an essential potential
development. In the beginning of your dream the "inner guru" behaves
as a psychotherapist. You tell him of your troubles, he listens and
tries to explain. It is the situation of a "normal" psychotherapy or
psychoanalysis. But this is either the wrong method or it is not
enough. Therefore, in your dream a break, an "inner quantum leap"
happens and you continue your relationship with the guru in the
woods.
Carl Jung was the first one to discover a
phenomenon which he called facultative (optional) neurosis. This
diagnosis I have often come across in my therapeutic work, too. It
seems that relatively many people exist who get entangeled in a
series of personal troubles during the first half of their lives. Of
course they then assume, that they should undergo a therapy to solve
these problems. But during this therapy or psychoanalysis deepest
archetypal dreams occur which exceed the interpreting faculty of most
therapists. This happens because these symbolical messages out of the
collective unconscious do not deal with personal neurotic
problems. Instead, they talk about an aperture of (Logos)
consciousness in relation to a new zeitgeist which has not yet
taken place. Your dreams are a very good example of this
fact.
Such people face the task and challenge to
perform a radical change of paradigm which is constellated in them
and belongs to the transition from the age of Pisces to the age of
Aquarius. Among other things, their task is to grow into the Eros
consciousness, as described above, for adequately understanding and
dealing with this novel and very different world in which space, time
and gravitation are becoming relative or are completely absent. With
the help of this introverted consciousness they have to concentrate
on their belly for the purposes of eliminating the perception via the
brain and the five extraverted senses.
The
Swiss saint Nicholas von Flue underwent a very similar process when he
had his vision of the terrible face of God some 500 years ago (see
picture on the left). In it, God's "sense organs" are destroyed by
lances. Nicholas' symbolic solution for the constellated problem was
the today famous wheel image (picture on the right) which describes
the Eros consciousness that is able to observe the realization of the
subtle body (see The
Wheel Image of Nicholas von Flüe as Symbol of the Subtle
Body).
Already as far back as this historical case,
the necessary conditions for this
process were the elimination of the perception via the sense organs
and a concentration onto the vegetative nervous system's centers in
the belly. In Tantrism, this goal of the Eros consciousness is
symbolized by reaching the fourth chakra anahata in the heart
region. As we can see in the image on the right hand side, one of the
most important symbols connected to the heart chakra is the Seal of
Solomon, the double-triadic structure which symbolizes the two
aspects of bipolar energy, the yang (physical energy) and the yin
(psychic energy). The existence of this symbol is the necessary
condition for the transformation process of yang into yin energy, and
vice versa (see The
Wheel Image of Niklaus von Flüe
...).
And exactly this challenge is constellated anew today, in you
personally and in mankind.
After the "quantum leap" in your dream, you
find yourself in the woods, together with the guru. In dreams, the
woods mostly symbolize the vegetative nervous system, which in our
case means, the three lower chakras according to Tantrism. The guru
corresponds to your individual deity, hidden in your body. Therefore,
your task - as we know from earlier dreams - consists of building up
a relationship with your inner guru who obviously hides
in the woods, i.e. in the vegetative nervous system.
This wise man has a "slightly darker
complexion". He seems to be a mixture of a white and a
black man. We can explain this motif as follows: He portrays the
union of Logos and Eros we are looking for. Symbolically seen, the
former means the bright ("a bright mind"), the latter the black,
because for us Western people, obliged to the Logos, the black world
is rather weird and sinister.
Expressed in terms of our contemporary
religious problem, this inner guru stands for the today absolutely
urgent reconciliation of Jewism and Christianism with the Islam. The
former are equated with the Logos principle, the latter Carl Jung has
characterized as the "religion of Eros".
Against this background, we can also see the
horrible terror of "9/11" (Sept. 11th, 2001), with the resulting
danger of a war between Iraq and Bush's U.S. perhaps ending in a
nuclear catastrophe, and also the conflict between Israel and
Palestine we can see on this deeper background. In the macrocosm, in
our world, the process of the union between Logos and Eros is
constellated which was already represented in the medieval alchemical
archetype of the coniunctio (see below). Exactly these
archetypal events correspond to your individual problem, mirroring
the macrocosmic one.
Your prophetic dream tells us that "the
turning point has been reached". On the one hand, this refers to your
individuation process and on the other to the fact that it is high
time to start thinking along different lines when it comes to finding
the solution to the problems of our apocalyptic world. Therefore the
sage tells you that "the earth has changed, something new has now
started".
[Remark of August, 2003: The term
"apocalypse" is meant symbolically, and not in the
Christian meaning, and especially not in the concretizised meaning
of today's Christian sects. A
destructive example of this "apocalypse" (with a deeply
unconscious creation myth behind it), is the HI-Virus (HIV), the
existence of which, in its original form, has never been proved,
which means that it comes out of an "invisible, potential form
of reality that is only indirectly inferable through its
effects" (Wolfgang Pauli, physicists and Nobel Laureate) [For
the lack of proof of the HIV see the comments of the Nobel Laureate
Kary Mullis, http://www.virusmyth.net/aids/index/kmullis.htm.
This new creation is destructive
because we do not approach the psychophysical world (behind the
split in spirit and matter) by means of the Eros consciousness, but
think that we can destroy it with aggressive Logos (which means with
natural science, limited to left brain empiricism). See Hat AIDS
einen Sinn? Behandlungsmöglichkeiten der HIV-Infektion auf der
Grundlage tiefenpsychologischer Imaginationsmethoden (English:
What Does AIDS Mean? HIV Treatment Possibilities on the Basis of
Imaginal Methods in Depth Psychology).]
But the rulers of today's world, contrary to
the historical kings who asked their court jesters, fail to perceive
this "subterranean" change which has already happened. They are not
able anymore to integrate their own dreams and visions or at least
those of "modern jesters" into their decisions in which such changes
would be depicted as symbolic images.
We
stand at the abyss of a worldwide catastrophe, as is described so
impressively in the opening of the Seven Seals in the Book of
Revelation of the Old Testament. Carl Jung writes:
"From the
first four seals it [the lamb, a symbol of Jesus
Christ!] lets loose the four sinister apocalyptic
horse-men. With the opening of the fifth seal, we hear the
martyrs crying for vengeance ... The sixth seal brings a cosmic
catastrophe ... The opening of the seventh seal naturally
brings a new flood of miseries ..." [cw 11, §
708]
This apocalyptical catastrophe is finished
with the appearance of the sun-woman in the heavens (or of the
sun-moon woman as Jungians usually interpret this figure in USA,
stressing the idea of the coniunctio) who introduces the new
creation, symbolized by the New Jerusalem. This apocalyptic
sun-woman, appears "with the moon under her feet, and on her head a
crown of twelve stars" after the destruction of Jerusalem, i.e.,
after the destruction of the one-sided patriarchal or Logos only
adaptation. This reminds us of the stars and the moon of your second
dream, above (see part
1).
As Carl Jung notes, the simple statement "a
woman" shows, that she is
"an ordinary woman, not a
goddess and not an eternal virgin immaculately conceived. No
special precautions exempting her from complete womanhood are
noticeable, except the cosmic and naturalistic attributes which
mark her as an anima mundi [world-soul]" [CW
11, § 711].
Therefore this cosmic goddess
and the ordinary woman are one and the same, which means that we will
find Her in ourselves, more exactly: in the intestines of our body!
This potential goddess of the body is the complement to Carl
Jung's Self (which is itself a Logos principle), and I call it the Eros Self
[see Wolfgang
Pauli, das Prinzip des kollektiven Eros und dessen kosmogonische Bedeutung
(in German)]
The apocalyptic sun-woman has the crown of
the twelve stars on her head. When the European Community was
founded, the politicians, in their blindness, choosed exactly this
star's crown as the symbol of the EC's flag. Obviously,
with this gesture, they wanted to express the supposed fact, that
Europe has already endured the apocalypse - World War II. In their
delusion of power they believed that we can use such a symbol by
will, as some sort of modern magic. They were not able to see that
the real apocalypse is still immanent. By stressing only the economic
and political aspect of such a community, they were not able to see
that the deepest root of a human beings' nature is not just this
one-sided materialistic and will-to-power aspect, but Eros.
This Eros, however, we should first learn with greatest modesty
and humility from the Islamic Mysticism, the Sufism.
Otherwise, such a "community" will - as we
can observe today - regress into the globalized
materialistic-economic delusion, the destructive compensation to the
Christian Logos principle that leads directly into the inevitable
apocalyptic catastrophe of the macrocosm, of our earth and the
universe. This of course would represent a negative or failed
coniunctio because instead of consciously including the
missing opposite by dealing with matter with the help of the Eros
principle, it comes in the back door (unconsciously) as a
materialistic-economic power.
Thus, as long as this delusion of
power reigns, no effort for the prevention of the immense catastrophe
will succeed.
Another reason for this failure is the fact,
that all these will-to-power-possessed attempts do not have regard
for those human beings that are
unconsciously carrying the missing
Eros principle of the repressed deity, the world-soul and the subtle
body, for the rest of us: the outcasts, the inferiors, the drug
addicts, sick people in general and, last but not least, the older
generation. Measured by the hyperactive and power-possessed
representatives of modern Western life style, they are the useless
ones. But, as long as these modern mystics are excluded by our
materialistic zeitgeist, we cannot avoid the apocalyptic phase
recorded in the Book of Revelation.
******
The next part of your last dream shows how
this inner process that compensates the extraverted power delusion of
Western civilisation could take place: The guru with the "slightly
darker complexion" is accompanied by a woman with the same attribute.
Therefore, the two symbolize the union of Logos and Eros.
As
an extension of the motif of the sun-woman with her child, the New
Jerusalem, medieval alchemy has represented the creation myth,
finishing the Book of Revelation, as the so-called coniunctio
(or hierosgamos). It consists of more or less obscene images
of a god and a goddess during copulation, as the picture of the
alchemical Rosarium philosophorum shows. In your dream, this
myth is symbolized by the divine couple with the slightly darker
complexion. This coniunctio happens in the deepest depths of
your unconscious, independent of your conscious will and thoughts,
expressed for example in the spontaneous appearance of such
archetypal dreams. Therefore, your last dream stresses that it is the
goddess and not you who is the real partner of the guru. But you
"remain a welcome visitor at all times" which means that you, as a
human being, have the challenge to observe the coniunctio in
your inner world, in your soul and your body. Only by this
active participation the incarnatio of the
sun-woman's child, the New Jerusalem, will happen and terminate the
apocalyptic times.
This incarnation into our space- and
time-bound world is the birth of the body-soul or of the subtle
body. Because it is relatively space- and timeless, it
belongs to both your inner world and the outer. In it, the
microcosm and the macrocosm are again united and this is what the
Book of Revelation looked for using the symbol of the New
Jerusalem. This is also what alchemy and Carl Jung meant with
the lapis or the unus mundus and Wolfgang
Pauli with the unified psychophysical reality. This
process corresponds to the incarnation of the microcosmic
body-soul (subtle body) which is secretly identical with the
redemption of the macrocosmic world-soul.
According
to the Rosarium, the child resulting from the divine
sexual union, the New Jerusalem of the Book of Revelation, is a
hermaphrodite or androgynous entity. This male-female being, which is
also double-headed, holds three snakes in the right hand and one in
the left. For the reader who is familiar with Carl Jung's work it is
obvious that the modern interpretation of the latter symbolism is his
typology. But, as we can see in this alchemical picture, the bearer
of these three plus one snakes (Carl Jung's typology of the
consciousness) is not a quaternity, as Jungians always claim, but
incorporates the double-triadic structure of the hermaphrodite with
two arms, two legs and two heads. The modern physicist
can recognize in this 3+1+6 structure an early precursor of the
superstring model: the four dimensions of space-time, and behind them
the six dimensions of the quantum physical realm.
Moreover, it seems that the level of
androgynity that increasingly dominates today's youth is an
unconscious herald of this "child": These people are not yet aware of
the process of the divine couple's coniunctio in the deepest
depths of the collective unconscious, which will culminate in the
birth of a world, totally different from today's. Therefore, such
"subterranean" events surface in the form of everyday androgynity.
However, this concretisation and projection can only be the first
stage of the above-mentioned psychic and "inner-bodily" process.
Further, we can see that - in contrast to
Genesis, the cosmic creation process of the Old Testament - the
human being is included. Not a perfect man as in Christianity
but one who has become complete, with all his strong
and weak abilities. This inclusion of man into a novel
creation myth corresponds to the restitution of the destroyed
creation, to the so-called tikkun in Isaak Luria's Cabbalah.
Today, a growing number of human beings have the challenge to
accompany this introverted process - the "inner quantum physics".
Only with the help of this mentality can we compensate the danger of
apocalyptical destruction of the near future by a constructive
process.
Such a task has to happen "secretly", which
means in the deepest introversion, and not in an extraverted way by
do-gooders. "Not all of us are able to see it", yes, but some people
should learn to look for these phenomena by concentrating on their
belly with the purpose of observing the transformation processes that
happen in it.
In the dream, your guru leads you to the
clearing, the brighter place in the woods. "Light" means
"enlightenment", spontaneously occurring illuminations which you will
experience as inner images and visions, perhaps sometimes also as
clearaudience, emerging from the vegetative nervous system or the
"gut brain", the enteric nervous system around our guts as discovered
by Michael Gershon 20 years ago.
The end of the dream shows the motif of the
moon's doubling. The doubling of a dream content explains the split
which happens when a content of the unconscious approaches
consciousness. Wolfgang Pauli writes to Carl Jung:
"[The doubling
phenomenon] is essentialy linked to the condition that
archetypal contents (from a deeper, completely timeless structure)
draw near to the conscious..." [Meier, 2001, p. 35]
and
"[The doubling
motif] always appears when progress is being made in the
development of consciousness and is connected with the
'incarnation' of an archetype." [Meier, 2001, p.
135]
Furthermore, the doubling motif in Pauli's
dreams always appears together with the phenomenon of synchronicity.
The very strange fact is that Pauli's guru, the "stranger" (or was it
an alien?), never talks of synchronicity but calls it "radioactivity"
(see also The
Connection between Radioactivity and Synchronicity in the Pauli/Jung
Letters).
Therefore we can conclude that your
consciousness has opened to the "moon" which of course means that you
have begun to integrate Eros consciousness. In so doing it will be
possible to observe the contents of the "moon unconscious". The
"conscious moon" is now together with the unconscious one and
conscious Eros can observe the Eros unconscious.
The end of the dream describes the second
stage of the psychification of bodily matter I discussed above: The
conscious integration of synchronicities in your life. When someone
has learnt to let her-/himself fall consciously into the "dimmed"
consciousness and, by this, let the body move "accidentally" in outer
space, synchronistic events will become more frequent. The conscious
attitude of "catching" them is what I call synchronicity
quest. Therefore, we can expect that an accumulation of
synchronicities will happen in your life. The interpretation of these
contents of the "preconscious" or "absolute knowledge" of the Self
(Carl Jung), of the collective unconscious' center, will help you to
find your individuation process, to follow the flow of your
Tao.
