The Secret Life Of Fairies

a reply to: NobodySpecial268

I'd like to document an observation: As a parent of the treated child, I noticed a blending between the Iris and the Sclera when experiencing what used to be a routine troubling wakeup, in hindsight the blending is reminiscent of the described blending of the petals and the center of the flower.

Now in the schizophrenic child, there is a blending of colours across the boundary between flower centre and petals.

Conversely, when troublesome wake-ups were no longer an issue, I noticed a clear definition between the boundary of the Iris and Sclera, similar to that of the described flower.

When we achieved a clean awakening in the morning there was a corresponding defined boundary seen in the flower form between centre and petals.

After celebrating the clean wake-ups, I wondered: Are there attributes of our state of consciousness represented somehow by the shape of our Iris? What else is represented by the shape of the Iris, or by the Iris itself?

'day Janny.

Yeah that sign within the physical eye is a wonder. Especially since it coincided with our work.

I thought of Iridology but can't find any case studies relating to the problem at hand. Maybe an Iridologist or someone else might chime in with insights here.



-------------------------------------

* Sign; any objective evidence of disease or dysfunction. Source definition of the word sign.

So let's go a little deeper into our study.

Rudolf Steiner said something very interesting, he said the Beings of Nature once resided within the organs of man, and they will again in the future.

Now ol' Steiner was a very practical man and a natural philosopher. He created the bio-dymnamic agricultural method, the Waldorf school movement and a lot more.

Natural philosophy or philosophy of nature (from Latin philosophia naturalis) was the philosophical study of nature and the physical universe that was dominant before the development of modern science. Source: Wikipedia

So which organs was Steiner refering to?

I find when reading Steiner, what he does not say is as important as what he does say.

We know our waking consciousness is mainly centered around the brain, which is a part of our nervous system. Our nervous system has a conscious part and an unconscious part. The conscious nervous systems being brain, motor nerves and sensory nerves. Then we have the subconscious nervous system of the sympathetic, and parasympathetic nervous systems. (forgive my rather basic physiology.)

So have another look at this diagram:



The consciousness of those organs are all in the realm of the subconscious.

So which organs was Steiner refering to?

So we can say that the body has it's awake state and it's asleep state, and there is an inversion of consciousness.

So where does consciousness invert?

How about between the "brain-sensory" consciousness and the "body" consciousness.

If the Beings of Nature resided in the organs in the past and not now, we have a situation where we now have an absence of consciousness. Our organs would interface with the Nature Beings and we would be in touch with the world of Nature in a far different way to what we have now.

Humans would also have lived within their internal conscious more than we do now. After all, the absence of internal consciousness leaves our consciousness empty in a way, so we would look towards the external world to fill the vacuum.

One may suggest that the internal perception and awarenes has lessened. Consequently our external perception and awareness has gained.

If we look at the internal perception as subconscious and the external perception as conscious we can understand where the inversion process takes place. Our sleep state being the empty body consciousness.

So we can now say that the empty body consciousness is the location of the dream-state and the dream-world.

It occured to me that we have readers on ATS who use screen readers, and images are problematic. I should be more considerate. So lets revisit my post immediately above this one and add an alt image text for the image.

Alt image text: Diagram shows the central nervous system that runs from the brain down the spine. Frome each of the back bones branch nerves to the various organs.

So we can now say that the empty body consciousness is the location of the dream-state and the dream-world.

So empty of what exactly?

Well that would be empty of external consciousnesses such as the Beings of Nature. We are speaking relatively simply here.

So:

(Alt: Empty Russian doll)

The empty dreamscape.

Then we add the dreamer within their own dream:

(Alt: One doll within the empty doll.)

So what creates the dream?

Well, that would be the dreamer's imagination. Dreamscapes can be created from memories, such as a streetscape where we lived as a child. Our troubles of the day can be recreated and resolved, which is what psychology says generally happens. It is not difficut to work out.

We can have other people in that dream that we create.

Where the dreams become interesting is when other dreamers intrude within our dreamscape. For example; the NPC within the schizophrenic child's dream described earlier.

Therefore:

(Alt: Three russian dolls within the empty doll.)

We have our original dreamer plus two other dreamers now. We have the shared dream. If the dreamers interact with each other we have the interactive shared dream.

If the dreamers are all aware enough they can add to the dreamscape. If they engage their imagination in creating the dreamscape, it is logical to assume the dream will be persistant until the last dreamer wakes up. This was hinted in what happens in the child's dream where we made a sandbox dream within the child's dream. The sandbox dream persisted untill the streetscape dream disappeared.

Therefore, we have the persistant interactive shared dream.

So we have:

* The principal of inversion of consciousness between awake and asleep; between conscious and subconscious.

* The principal of persistant dream states between awake and asleep.

* The principal of shared dream states.

I have taken a very simple approach to explaining these three principals. They hold the key to helping the schizophrenic, especially when the schizophrenia is seen in the child.

The three principals hold the key to a great many other things that plague mankind.

It is all deceptively simple.

It really is . . .

There is a principal in occult circles and withing the psycological circles, it is this: Actuality and Reality.

In my own understanding reality is what we think the world is, and actuality is what the world really is.

So reality may be sumed up as our cultural influences as an overlay. The rose coloured glasses through which our minds interpret our perceptions.

From my excursions into the dreamworld of the schizophrenic child I now know that the external awake person is an overlay over an internal asleep (subconscious) person. I have spent a lot of time with them both in the subject.

With our subject, the outer person displayed the anxiety, the fear, the misery. However that is not there those emotions exist. They exist in the subconscious person. It is the subconscious person who was anxiety and misery ridden.

So when we go to clean away all the misery from our child, we don't want to treat the awake aspect as the misery is to be found in the subconscious person. It is the subconscious child I had to focus and work upon to resolve the schizophrenia.

The only time I would look at the awake conscious person is to see the results of my efforts. What I looked for was happiness in the awake child. As I am on the other side of the planet from the subject, it is the child's mother who provided all the daily updates of changes in the child. This is most important; we must see the physical evidence of our metaphysical work every step of the way. The mother, or other contact is very important.

I like my Matryoshka dolls, so here are some more:


(Alt: single doll.)

In a sense, in the schizophrenic child there is one blurred aspect.

Once separted with the clean awakening the conscious and the subconscious become discernable and separate. Therefore:


(Alt: Two dolls, one inside the other.)

The two dolls, well defined and one within the other is what we see in the "normal" person.

Now in modern newage and western occult circles the terms "lower-self" and "higher-self" are used to present the concept that a human has an earthly aspect and a heavenly aspect. That is NOT what I am refering to here and should not be confused.

I am describing the person, the body's consciousness which has a daily cycle of inversion between awake and asleep. Important!

So to recap we have the principals of the persistant interactive shared dream and the conscious and subconscious person.

The physical body's consciousness is what I am writting about here; the "me".

* The awake self has perceptual organs; the eyes ears and so on.
* The asleep self has the imaginative organ with which it builds dreamscapes. As we have seen earlier in this thread, dreamscapes can be shared with other dreamers who can interact with the other dreamers who share the dreamscape. If the dream has multiple dreamers the dreamscape persists and the other dreamers can return again and again. When the last dreamer stops dreaming the dream disappears. It is not difficult to work out once you have been there.

For our sunconscious self the dream is the organ of perception and interaction with the inner worlds. The dream is the interface.

So another Matryoshka doll photo to illustrate an important point:


(Alt: three dolls stacked one within another)

We can stack Russian dolls one within another. So too dreams. Wake up from one dream and still be within another.

So let's talk geometry for a moment. I have mentioned this before; that we live in a six dimensional world.

Width X hieght X length X inside X outside gives us five dimensions. The Russian dolls are a perfect example of a five dimensional object.

Time as motion gives us the sixth dimension. Let's add wheels to our Russian doll and we have an automobile. A car is a perfect example of a six dimensional object.

If we take the dreamscape as an example, in it's most basic form it is simply a two dimensional object having an inside and an outside. We can even say a dream is an infinate enclosed two dimensional space.

The imagination is the engine that creates the dream. Now as human beings who live in a six dimensional world our subconscious knows this from all the sensory input from the awake self. So it is natural for the subconscious to follow what is familiar.

However, the imagination can set the rules; the laws of physics within the dreamscape. We dream of flying for instance.

Now what if we apply this to a shared dream?

If all the dreamers share a common rulebook the dreamscape become stable. So someone writes a book which other people read and believe. Let's say it is a grimoire of ceremonial magic.

The grimoire becomes the rulebook for the shared dream and therefore defines the laws of physics within that dream. The ceremoney creates the dreamstate. I have seen the black lodge. If you know how, it is not hard to scry them out and appear as just another shadow amongst many. Guard your thoughts for if you think they will see you as somethinmg more than a shaddow on the wall. Circles within circles of participants. Each circle thinks they are in control yet don't see what surrounds them. Dreams within dreams.

In practice the white magician is fundamentally a similar setup.

To my way of thinking; the problem with ceremonial magic is the problem of computer networking. If one computer is compromised, then the system is not secure.

So we have ceremonial magic as an example of a shared interactive dreamscape that can created within our waking self.

Here is a few more to think about:

* The fae and the fairies - the subject of this thread.
* The greys and the alien abduction.
* The ceremonial magic.
* The occult initiatory lodge.
* The shaman.
* The schizophrenia.
* The mystic.
* The religion.
* The corporation.
* The ideologies.
* The egregore.
* The nationalism.

If one understand the mechanics of dreams, one can look at the corporate mind and see it for what it is; a persistant collective dream. We can wake up from that when we realise what it is.

This is also when we realise that we are feeding our subconscious dreaming self and steering our inner perception in various ways. Turning off the television greatly lessens the inflow of doom and gloom.

Of course people like their dreams which provide a safe place, that provide the hieghts of philosophy to aim for and contribute to. People like the power that they have within the dream of the occult lodge. In some lodges it is taught that the member has access to a great pool of power that they can tap into. The tithe principal as a law of physics within the collective dreamscape.

And then there is the principal of becomming one with something.

My first conscious encounter with the little yellow grey Wednesday Addams began with the words "We are all one". On the surface we may think that is a simple statement of a universal truth. That Wednesday opened with an affirmation.

Wednesday, as a "grey alien" had ulterior motives behind that "We are all one" statement.

I would have found myself "one" with her collective consciousness.

The moral of the story is to use the discriminatory reasoning mind and not fall into a potential trap. The grey collective mind, for me at least, is very much the persistant interactive shared dream that can overlay the conscious reality of everyday life.

There are ways of preventing the grey's direct intrusion into the subconscious mind. For example; I set up a grand-daughter grand-father relationship with Wednesday in the beginning. I adopted her. That set the relationship rules for interaction within that waking dreamscape. Grand-daughters don't dissect their grand-father's mind for instance.

Geometry is something one needs an understanding of in the Euclidean sense of the object if we are to navigate the dreamscapes. That is why I say this world is five dimensional with time/motion as the sixth dimension.

We also need a strong sense of self; a strong sense of being me.

In the practical sense; to become one with a dream is to get stuck in it. One must separate oneself from the dream to get out. Religion is the example of choice here.

In a dream we can become one with it to enjoy ourselves there. Or maybe to interact with other Beings for a time, say for the healing puropses or to sort out a few problems. The fae and the fairies for instance.

Most people can have the waking dream overlay. People say I live in it. Maybe so, I would not disagree. The intangiable Beings know how this works and they are often very good at creating the interactive dreamscapes. Don't presume the other Beings minds work like the human mind works. One would not apply Jungian psychology to a "grey alien" or a weather spirit, nor a fairy. Why? Because they are not subject to the cyclic inversion of consciousness between sleep and awake that creates the subconscious mind. Fairies don't have a subconscious for instance. One needs a physical body to have a subconscious mind.

I could waffle on forever. However, though I want to get to the basics of the healing using these principals, I'll give an insight into what we are dealing with when we meet the dreamers.

I usually tend to the children for number of reasons.

* Children have an instinct to obey adults. Children instinctually look to adults for protection and to meet their needs.

* Children don't know better, as the adults often do when they hold the cultural or religious views.

I could go on . . .

In the practical sense a child just wants to get better, and won't fight you every step of the way with their ingrained beliefs.

Children are also just begining their lives, as adults we are supposed to look after them.

So when you meet the dreamer child, they have no reason to care about you. So don't expect anything from them. If we have entered their dream with the purpose of healing the schizophrenia or the eating disorder or just to see what can be done for a loner child who is depresssed and miserable, we should be the NPC (Non Player Character). Let them discover us.

If the child has known horrors, it will be suspicious. Will this person hurt me like the others? No reason for them to trust you.

I have one who is still suspicious of me and sits there studying and trying to work me out. The question arises "why are you helping me?" and "what do you want from me?". That one can see straight through anything I say.

Another is the romantic chatterbox. She just wants to escape her (awake) home life.

Others are miserable to the core for many reasons.

These are the dreaming children.

A simple technique

Have you ever held a baby in your arms?
Have you watched it fall asleep in your arms?
Have you watched a it sleeping in your arms?
Did the experience fill you with a sense of protectiveness, wonder and a feeling of love for what is in your arms?

That is the memory one needs to remember. If you have held the sleeping child in your arms; remember what it was like for a few moments. Relive the emotional experience.

Got it?

Well then, let us say it is ten years later and our baby has grown and is now eleven years old.

The teens are difficult and our eleven year old has become gloomy, depressed and spends it's time alone in it's room.

Cheering up the child may work for a time yet the darkness returns, the misery.

We can fix the outer life as best we can, the school life and the home life.

So try this:

Remember the memory of holding the child in your arms and relive it in the present time. You just have to know that it is your eleven year old child you are holding in your memory's arms.

A few minutes at a time and do it often, over and over until you can do it without concentrating, untill it comes naturally.

That is the deceptively simple basic technique.

In a way, you are "talking" to the child's subconscious. The language is emotion.

Try it out and watch the child for subtle changes in behaviour, a brightening of their eyes.

To see a smile where there was none before is the most wonderful of things.

The logic here is a simple fact; misery is accumulative. Misery is like black soot. The little things accumulate over time. "you're not good enough" told to a child often enough will very quickly send a child into a downward spiral, for example.

Another thing to keep in mind is happiness can not manefest within misery. Children are naturally happy to be alive, remove the misery and the child's natural happiness will begin to show.

So we want to clear away the accumulated misery. The feeling of protectiveness and love felt when holding a small child in your arms is the most effective remedy I know.

The technique is very simple and I would add that in the beginning one would practice when the child is asleep. The child's waking consciousness is not distracted by external perception, and within the dream state.

I think it is important to add that this technique is all one's own work. There is no dependencey upon "higher" or "inner" selves. Nor is there invocations of "spirits", "gods" nor "spiritual guides". We do all the work ourselves to develop the skill.

The reasoning and logical mind generally likes some explanation.

So what you are doing within the technique is to relive a memory for a time. You are not visualising nor creating, you are remembering. You already have the memory complete with the emotions, so you don't have to create anything at all.

The day dreaming state is what I would call it. One looses track of time and surroundings to a degree, and you are for a time lost in the memory.

If we think in terms of linear time, the memory happened eleven years ago. The conscious awareness that the child is now eleven years old is the link to the present day.

The above simple technique is an example of the principal of the shared dream.

With practice, there will come a time when the child in our arms becomes conscious of what is happening. One might say that the child's subconscious mind communicates with our subconscious mind. The appearence of the child in our arms can change. I have watched them shift backwards in time to the foetal time within the womb. My thoughts here are that there are times of crisis or stress that can be healed. One can begin to understand what happened with practice.

So we have the shared dream becomming the shared interactive dream.

Once one has practiced for a time the simple technique described a few posts above, one can do more.


(Alt text: a bottle of ordinary vitamin C tablets, and my two hands palms face up. In the palm of the left hand is a single vitamin C tablet. In the right hand is an image of a four inch (100cm) girl;. our patient.)

I originally developed this technique to treat the lingering illnesses in the deceased, and found it works quite well with the living sleeper and their subconscious too.

Instead of holding the dreamer child in our arms, we have them stand them upon the palm of our right hand.

In the left hand we hold a remedy for an illness.

What we want to do is transfer the remedy to our "patient".

In this case our "patient" is developing a cough, and feeling unwell. As parent, we know the child is comming down with a case of the common cold. Ordinarily, we would reach for the bottle of vitamin C and give the child as few pills to take. Let's say ouir child is visiting friends for the weekend.

Through the shared interactive dreamstate we can work from a afar.

I'll go into the mechanics of this over the next few posts.

And by the way, the gloves worn in the photograph are simply there to thwart nosey palm readers, nothing more : )

I think it is important to add that this technique is all one's own work. There is no dependencey upon "higher" or "inner" selves. Nor is there invocations of "spirits", "gods" nor "spiritual guides". We do all the work ourselves to develop the skill.

-me, a few posts above.

So what we need to realise for ourselves is this. The human body is a wonderful thing. It is alive and unconsciously intellegent. The digestive tract knows how to disasemble the food we consume. Our body breaks an apple down into protiens, vitamins, minerals and more. Our body also knows how build tissues, blood, bone and more from what we eat.

All our organs have the intellegence to do their specialised work of keeping us alive, energetic and in good health.

The bodily systems connect it all:


(alt text: diagram showing the brain and spinal nervous system with all the nerve branches down the spine to the organs of our body. Source: wikimedia comnmons)

I am not going too far into physiology here. Folks can study that themselves from basic medical text books.

The core principal here is our physical body and the subconscious already know how to disassemble organic matter and reassemble organic matter according to the body's needs. It does it all the time. We are just not conscious of the processes.

So we know the physical body has the knowledge and ability to do some wonderful things.

The question is how do we put this knowledge and ability to use ourselves for the healing and other work.

It has been a long time since I read ol' Rudolph Steiner. Nevertheless some things he has said have stuck in my mind all these years. One of these things is Steiner said there were images of the body in the hands and the feet.

We also have something called reflexology in the West and has probably been known for a lot longer everywhere else in this world.


(alt text: Reflexology diagram of the soles of the feet showing numbered areas of the foot, and a list of the organs of the body they correlate to on the left. Source: wikimedia commons)

Basically the idea of reflexology from my layman's point of view is the sole of the foot is a hidden map of the body. Massaging these areas helps heal the corresponding organs. I will leave reflexology for those interested to learn more. Just google relexology.

My own (probably unique ; ) view is the image of the body found in the soles of the feet correspond with something trees have; roots. In a way; humans would be like mobile trees were they to put down psychic "roots" though the points in the soles of the feet.

So we have the whole body as an image as it were. These body's image is found in the soles of the feet. Now what about the hands? Where are the images in the hands?

Well that would be the eye in the palm of the hand. The hamsa as its called these days.


(alt text: Amulet of a metal hand with an eye in the centre of the palm. Attributes: Nationaal Museum van Wereldculturen, CC BY-SA 3.0 , via Wikimedia Commons)

So basically when we are practiced with using our whole body as an organ of perception rather than a "third eye" which not everyone has anyway, we can use and open other eyes.

There is nothing "spiritual" about what I describe here. The human body has had the hamsa eye for a long time. It was used before the focus shifted to the pineal gland - the so-called "third eye". (I have my views on that and shall keep them to myself ; )

There is also nothing I describe here that needs "awakening" or "initiation" either. The human physical body knows how to do all this, and has known for a very, very long time.

Like wriggling the ears, the muscles are there to do that, most children can learn to wiggle the ears, it is a knack that can be re-discovered.

The human body knows many secrets . . . .

So let's revisit our photograh of the hands holding a vitamin C tablet and the very small dream image of the girl from a few posts ago.



To do this we need:

* The dream image of the child to be held in our right hand over the hamsa eye.

* The remedy in our left hand over the hamsa eye.

* We take the vitamin C and leave behind the calcium and other things that make the vitamin tablet and transfer it to our "patient" through ou r own living consciousness of our physical body.

* Our "patient" recieves the remedy through the body image in the soles of her feet.

That is the circuit of remedy transfer via the shared interactive dreamstate.

All we want to do is let our physical body's intellegence and ability do the work unimpeded by our awake consciousness as much as possible. So we simply provide the overview of the remedy in the left hand and the target in our right hand. The hamsa eyes and our body do the rest.

The transfer of the vitamin C could have been better achieved with a fresh ripe organic orange. We could have done it a number of ways. I didn't have an orange handy at the time.

It takes a lot of hard work to do this sort of healing via the interactive shared dream. That is why I gave the simple technique of reliving the memory of holding the baby in your arms, and the instruction to do it over and over again until you could do it naturally without thinking.

In martial arts we know that there is something called muscle memory. One practices a movement over and over again. the body learns by repitition. The same principal is at work here, and it takes a lot of work. You also need to see the results of this work in the physical world. So take a dismal misery laden child and practice, and practice.

As for remedy selection, well, that is knowledge gained through a lot of study and hard work.

It is all, surprisingly simple really.

The Secret Life Of Fairies - Part Two.

The first half of this thread where I was primarily interested in giving a feel to the reader what my life with the unseen is like. It was also an introductory explanation of how I experience what I describe.

Now let's start to put this together in a very practical way.

The method of healing the miserable child described a few posts above arose out of knowledge gained through exploring the so-called "schizophrenia" over the last five months. I have briefly written about it in the last few pages here. Two living cases, one a living female child, and the second; a living female adult.

When one heals the "schizophrenic", one is healing the mind. To heal the mind one must learn how the mind works, and how the mind is damaged.

So let's define "mind", a simple practical custom definition for use here.



Our diagram of the two flower forms of the sleeping and awake human from earlier in this thread.

So we have the awake person and the sleeping person. The conscious and the subconscious which includes all the processes of the human physical body; the consciousness of the organs and the systems. For what I describe in these pages one does not need to look further afield into the "esoteric" and the "religion".

All we simply need is to become aware of the bridge between our own conscious waking self, and our own subconscious dreaming self.
