"I gave birth to another child later - a boy, whom my son (my actual son, also appearing briefly in the dream) said was Regulus. Now, Regulus is the name for Archangel Raphael, the healing angel. It is interesting that I have Hygeia conjunct Saturn exact, which iQ said was evidence of having been a healer in a past life. I wonder whether the dream was also establishing that connection in some way.”

I think this part of your dream ties in with the other part, i.e., the first part indicates the potential awakening of your Kundalini, while the second part is reassuring you of healing through the awakening … as Kundalini rises, it heals through clearing out blocks created by past pain (either in this life and/or in multiple past lives). I think that you were specifically being shown the healing aspect of Kundalini, perhaps because either this has been on your conscious mind as something to be accomplished by you … or, your consciousness, which has retained the memory of your past (life) pain, is now guiding you toward healing.

iQ has mentioned earlier in this thread that Kundalini is an Intelligent Energy and, from my experience I know that not only is it Intelligent, but It also reveals information by being very specific about what we’re seeking. For example, in response to your desire to consciously know your own Kundalini Shakti, you have this dream in which you first give birth to a Goddess-like child (indicates the awakening of your own Divine Energy). Then, because you’re most likely seeking healing, you’re shown experiencing a similar birthing, this time of a boy, Regulus (reassuring you that, as your Divine Energy awakens, it will also heal you). See how specifically your Shakti is responding to that which you are seeking? iQ has also said that aspects (even in tropical charts) are multi-dimensional … so your Hygeia/Saturn conjunction indicates not only a past life as a healer, but a fated healing being achieved in this life also, perhaps as a positive result of your past karma as a healer for others.

I think the way out of any grand cross/grand square is to move toward the wisest course of action, which is essentially what Saturn is trying to teach. Hopefully your Kundalini Rise and desire to heal will reveal this course to you.

Some of my thoughts on your aspects—

Here the Divine Masculine Energies of Mahakala, Rudra, Hara, and Saturn are all present in Feminine signs while the Divine Feminine Energy of Tara along with Moon are in Masculine signs. This is a positive in your grand square/grand cross (which does not include Mahakala), since it indicates a balancing of Masculine/Feminine Energies, which in turn shows a shift in consciousness toward greater awareness and growth.

This, along with what you’ve found out to be strengthening points at 21-22 degrees of fixed signs, may make your grand cross easier to navigate through.

Your Rudra (agent of change, transformation, and metamorphosis at a molecular level, also representative of “fine tuning” Pluto just like Karma “fine tunes” Saturn) opposite Saturn shows a bit of a tussle between Rudra’s demand to change and Saturn’s refusal to allow the change unless his (Saturn’s) lesson is learned. Saturn is the toll keeper who won’t allow you to cross the bridge from your 3D life (inner planets) to transcendence through Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (outer planets) … unless you pay the toll.

[One of the most important things to understand about Saturn is that through the very blocks and restrictions he creates, he also offers the way to the beatific vision of God which all of mankind craves. So the goal of spirituality essentially is to penetrate Saturn’s maze of the material life (maya) in such a way that its spiritual values shine through and be undertaken. Those who are able to accomplish this become masters in the art of living. They can be recognized not only by their clarity of thought and perception, but also by the fact that they never take their eyes off the Prize. This allows them to continuously act in compassion and right minded-ness].

There the eye goes not,
Speech goes not, nor the mind.
We know not, we understand not
How one would teach it.

As Chuang Tzu said, “If it could be talked about, everybody would have told their brother.” LOL.

Anyway, the point I’m trying to make is that direct insight into the Absolute Godhead is obtained by watching rather than thinking … meaning by observing, and by looking inside oneself. But part of looking inside oneself is also clearing out blocks that stand in the way. And I think the quickest way to clear out all blocks in general is to allow your Heart Chakra to open up more and more till this 12 petalled lotus blooms fully and completely. I think of the Anahata (Heart) Chakra as the hub of all the charkas because, once your Kundalini is able to move up and down this level freely, a lot of the hard work is done because you’re spiritually reborn as a human incarnation of compassion—the beginning of humanity. The heart level is also the level from which gods are born (according to all the stories). The lower centers are transcended (death to the elementary human animal that lives merely for the physical) and become servant to the heart (birth of the spiritual). So … with this much work done, the rest is practice … and letting Shakti guide you.

I’m hardly the person to give advice, as I’m myself still learning. But intuitively speaking, I think that if I were in your shoes I would focus and immerse my mind in anything and everything that softens my heart, including doing constant acts of charity especially emotional (what you focus on, will magnify in your mind).

Assuming your son is still young, allow him to burst your heart open and … by extension (*radical idea alert*) … think of yourself as a Mother to anyone with whom you have any sort of relationship. Why? Because, no matter how hurtful your child is, you could not stop loving him/her. The mother loves all her children—the stupid ones, the bright ones, the naughty ones, the good ones. So the feminine represents a sort of an all-inclusive love for progeny … regardless of their character. There may be suffering involved in Motherhood, but there’s also power … the power to free yourself from blocks through an outpouring of love. And this is the essence of the Feminine Principle … the Vehicle of life—the giving of birth and the giving of nourishment. She is identical with the earth Goddess, in her powers, something that every woman needs to understand. And when you have a Goddess as the Creator, it’s her own body that is the Universe. She is identical with the Universe. She is time and space itself. Everything you can think of, everything you can see, is a production of the Goddess. Everything is within her so that even the gods are her children. Understanding your Shakti is understanding and identifying yourself with Gaia. You are Gaia, the giver of forms. This is one of the little tricks I use to help me keep my heart soft, and forgiveness flowing outward toward others.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Saturn tends to sap inspiration from the energy of the planet it touches in hard aspect. So I would read inspirational stuff regularly as inner inspiration may get low at times.

With a heart filled with compassion, and a daily prayer asking God to help you overcome past Karma, you’ll be ready to soar … taking back your Moon ... free and clear (lien free) from Saturn.

As your Moon heals and is gradually released from Saturn’s hold, your Tara will take care of the rest in terms of Kundalini rising to meet Shiva. [She is under pressure … to rise … from your Mahakala, Rudra, and Hara, i.e., the guys are waiting with bated breaths to meet Her, LOL, two of them even arguing (squaring) with each Other about who will get to unite with Her first. Tara can settle that squabble, once your emotional healing gets under way. All the namesake representatives of Lord Shiva metaphorically imply death and destruction of the ego and the values of the material world, and a rebirth of the spiritual self or a larger way of living by uniting with the namesakes of Goddess Parvati].

Do you now see how both parts of your dream tie in with your astrology? Your dream is assuring you of healing while your astrology is pointing you toward taking the best course of action for that healing. And do you also see how (as I mentioned on my thread in Asteroids) dreams plus astrology give a more complete picture of what’s going on?

I also want to add that your thought is optimistic and this helps … even the Gods yield to those who don’t give up, regardless of karma (this is my strong personal belief). One suggestion I have as you go through your Saturn return, is that you allow yourself to trust your Shakti so that She can mold you. This can be achieved by increasing amounts of surrender to Her Infinite Wisdom and Love. Through Her help you will be able to plumb the depth of your Self, which you first recognized as a teen—through your desire to know your Kundalini.

My apologies for being so wordy. My TF has often said that every time my lips move, I write a book! It can be torture sometimes to plod through so much … but I hope the essence of what I’m trying to say didn’t get lost—that with a compassionate heart and trusting your Shakti to mold you, you should be fine. Oh look, I could have said all that in just this one sentence LOL. Isn’t hindsight just gloriously crystal clear?

"“I love it when things come together in astrology!”

You’ve plucked the words right out of my mind! In a later post I’m going to offer “proof” via a couple of recent personal experiences I’ve had. It makes me feel that astrology, when used correctly, is almost a divine tool. As I keep telling my friends, “Astrology doesn’t lie.”

Good to meet another Kundalini Bhakta. Thank you for posting.

Yes, as I mentioned in the beginning of the thread that I too tried to figure out how I could make my bliss experiences happen at will but then realized that they were the result of God’s Grace and not of my doing. [In my case I didn’t know that they were associated with Kundalini until about a year ago]. So I decided to leave it to God to make them happen and shifted my focus to trying to understand the awesome power of Kundalini and what I could do to increase my awareness. Now my experiences have expanded to include hearing the Nada sound several times … each time the sound is different.

If you don’t mind my asking, what is it that you’re looking forward to in your Uranus opposition? I know that Uranus represents the link between the conscious and the unconscious … but if I’m not mistaken, so do Pluto and Neptune … perhaps even Jupiter. So I was wondering if there’s something particular about Uranus that couldn’t be achieved by a hard aspect to another planet or even an asteroid (if you’re into them)? Like Kaali for example, the Tantra deity along with Shiva?

Atm , my Mars, Moon, Sun and Mercury are being hammered by hard aspects to Transiting Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Saturn … I have to grit my teeth ‘cause the ride isn’t pleasant all the time. But I’m also experiencing tremendous moments of inner stillness … a newer level of peace that I wasn’t familiar with before. At these times, all I want to do is drop everything and sit face to face with the Goddess doing nothing, just looking at Her. With the mind being emptied of everything, I feel no desire to think at these times. I think this is huge for my usually busy Gem Merc, LOL.

BTW, you too have done some tremendous work in putting together iQ’s info on Kaali on a single thread … plus your thread on Karma. Both threads are very valuable and I love them! It’s been on my mind for a long time to put together iQ’s posts on any given topic, for ready reference, but time has been a sticking factor for me for almost a year now. So I want to thank you for these threads.

“…you have done well …”

iQ ------>*fist pump*?<------ Me

Thanks iQ for your tremendous insight which explains so much!!!. It seems to me that dreams, like astrological aspects, can be multidimensional. When I had the sage dream about you …
http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/214042-5.html

… there too, my experience was 5th dimensional mixed with a recall of one of your past lives; 5th dimensional in that I saw you in a setting related to lectures and seminars … but at the same time I also saw you as a sage which, as you’ve said, is one of your own past life recalls. But the two blended because the sage part of you in my dream was meant to convey that you give lectures related to wisdom or higher perspective in the 5th dimension.

Similarly, in my experience here … I “re-experienced” one of my own past lives … but from a 5th dimensional approach, i.e, with greater awareness and love, so I could respond from a higher perspective. It’s like doing mental (consciousness) time-travel … backwards in order to “fix” something that happened before!! Completely mind blowing! Perhaps my own physical death had occurred at the hands of that unloved man. But showing me how my life ended would not have served any purpose here, because Shakti Ma was trying to teach me something else … something that would benefit me, i.e., the understanding of the India child incident and to help me overcome my rage. Because that is what I’d asked Her to do.

Here’s something else I noticed about this particular recall that is significant (for me). To explain, I want to first share my opinion on rape since the India child incident and my recall are related to it.

My personal opinion about rape is that it is a heinous act equal to murder at least, if not worse. Because the perpetrator of rape “kills” the victim even if the victim manages to stay alive physically. The “life” (or energy) of the victim is stolen. Why I think it is worse than killing is because the degradation and humiliation that accompany rape are absent in the act of killing someone.

This is why when Shakti Ma gave me this recall in which the unloved man was on a killing spree … I understood immediately the similarity between the rape case in India and the killing spree in my recall. So when you said … “Kundalini Shakti will show the ideal recall to answer our questions when we ask …” you couldn’t have been more correct.

iQ, you’d said earlier (page 1 of this thread) that Shakti is an Intelligent Energy. Is She ever! I think Shakti is Supremely Intelligent … knowing exactly what to show and how to show it in order to teach! So … thus far I’ve pegged Her down to Supreme Intelligence, Wisdom, and Unconditional Love through my OWN experiences. Imagine learning this through personal experience as opposed to reading about it and having religion or scripture teach it. The two forms of learning are as different as night and day! And gentle. I think Shakti Ma is also gentle and nurturing in Her interactions with me. Which suits me just fine because I LOVE the nurturing. What is even more awe inspiring is that this Kundalini Shakti is part of me as well as part of each one of us! It’s worth more than all the material wealth in the world!

You know, I’ve read that a series of experiments on telepathy have conclusively shown that it is possible for a person who’s awake to “transmit” images to another individual sleeping many rooms away, because these images appear in the dreams of the sleeping person. Clearly, if telepathy can be proved scientifically, I see no reason why what you’ve said above can also not be true.

“[Honestly, I still get only a "rage response" about that murderer even though I know there are some heavy karmic contracts at work. Not that I want him to die but a more logical correction of hormonal treatment followed by sex change]”

Ok, I may raise some eyebrows because of what I’m about to say … if I haven’t done so already from my other posts, lol. Oh well, in for a penny, in for a pound. What you’ve said here is very similar to my own views, except that, for practical reasons, I think sex change treatments may prove to be costly for governments in the long run. I would think that painless chemical castration (some pedophiles in the US who know they can’t change, ask for it but are denied because the law does not permit states to administer the treatment, as far as I know) would render brutal rapists harmless enough that they can be sent back out into society with the option of starting their own campaign for public donations for the sex change if they wish.

But here’s the thing. Whereas prior to having the recall, my views above were accompanied by righteous rage … now they are not. I still feel that brutal rapists of children and/or women (I haven’t heard of cases where men are victimized brutally during rape, and adult male rape is uncommon, to my knowledge) should undergo chemical castration because that is the only way to stop them from repeating the crime. The act is so evil, that I do not think such people can be rehabilitated. And administering the treatment painlessly is much more than what they give to their victims.

In general, I think all rapists, whether brutal or not, should face stiffer punishments … closer to those faced by murderers. What is mind boggling to me is that in the US, people like Michael Vick (professional basketball player) can be sentenced to several years in prison for holding dog fights for money (viewed as excessive cruelty to animals), plus face public disapproval and humiliation, and suspension from sports. Yet rapists, in comparison, are given a rap on the knuckles by our society and the justice system. And this is provided rapists get any sentence at all, since the burden of proof is always on the victim. Through such disparities, our society is sending the message that animals are more valuable than women.

Some of my thoughts on your aspects—

Here the Divine Masculine Energies of Mahakala, Rudra, Hara, and Saturn are all present in Feminine signs while the Divine Feminine Energy of Tara along with Moon are in Masculine signs. This is a positive in your grand square/grand cross (which does not include Mahakala), since it indicates a balancing of Masculine/Feminine Energies, which in turn shows a shift in consciousness toward greater awareness and growth.

Hi Linda,

I just made a discovery which I wanted to share with you. I was investigating patterns and have realised that they behave somewhat like the periodic table in chemistry. When there is a missing link, one will be found and I just found one. Of the asteroids listed above, Mahakala did not fit the grand cross. In fact it forms a mystic rectangle with a newbie - Garuda at 22 Cancer. So we have 4 corners - Garuda, Hara, Mahakala and Rudra.

I wondered what Garuda, the mount of Vishnu, had to do with Siva or the Kundalini, but it does. From the Wiki -

"Garuda represents the five vayus within us : prana, apana, vyana, udana, samana through his five forms Satya, Suparna, Garuda, Tarkshya, Vihageshwara. These five vayus through yoga can be controlled through Pranayama which can lead to Kundalini awakening leading to higher levels of consciousness."

From http://www.tantra-kundalini.com/svadhisthana.htm

"Vishnu is seated on the Garuda, the king of birds. Garuda is the concentrated vayu power developed from the highest form of kumbhaka (breath-suspension) which is under full control of Vishnu. Garuda represents the five vayus within us: Apana, Prana, Samana, Udana and Vyana. From the Garuda process has been developed the practice of Uddiyana control, the control of the lower abdomen. By this mean the Great bird of Prana, the life force is constantly forced to fly upward, ascending along Sushumna nadi the central channel. By concentration, control over the five prana forces is increased through the release of Kundalini Power, and consequently pranayama develops. Then Lord Vishnu begins to be awakened."

So, it appear that the family of Kundalini asteroids has another member. Astrology continues to amaze! ((I now have a Kundalini/Hindu deity asteroid at 22 degrees in 7 houses!)

Good research, thank you for posting this information. I'd known the importance of Garuda sometime back when I found it was in a 1 degree conjunction to my Venus/Wisdom exact conjunction in my 1st hse. All 3 (Venus/Wisdom/Garuda) sextile my NN (1-2 deg). Also, my Vishnu is conjunct my SN (1 deg) and sextiles Garuda (2 deg).

Garuda's importance in Kundalini cannot be overlooked, for sure. Thanks for putting it together in your post and also for bringing my attention to it. The email notification I got about your post nudged me to come back to this all important thread, for which I'm grateful.

Here's another asteroid which I think is important in Kundalini-Ananthram (#24474). [Ananta + Ram]. Ananta is the Cosmic Serpent or Lord Vishnu's bed in the Ocean of Consciousness. Lord Ram was an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Both Ananta and Ram are connected with Vishnu, hence Ananthram (in my opinion at least).

Regarding Anantharam's connection to Kundalini-
From-http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/2002/carl-teichrib/serpent.htm

"In Hinduism, the Cosmic Serpent—Ananta Sesha—symbolic of timeless eternity, carries the world on his 1000-fold [Cobra] hood…As the creative impulse stirs within the great Serpent in the Sky—when passive idea becomes active thought—the forces of attraction and repulsion come into play as ‘spirit’ begins its involution into "matter."

"Moreover, Kundalini yoga—a yoga discipline within Hinduism —teaches that vast amounts of latent energy lies at the base of the human spine; "like a coiled serpent, ready to spring" (Harper’s Dictionary of Hinduism, p. 156). Through strenuous yoga techniques, this serpent-coiled spiritual energy is awakened and rises through seven "chakras"—or power centers—within the human body. This spiritual energy is known as the "serpent force," and is considered to be "a concentrated field of intelligent cosmic, invisible energy absolutely vital to life; beginning in the base of the spine as a man or a woman begins to evolve in their first incarnation…" (The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary, p. 343)."

In my natal asteroid Ananthram is conjunct my DNA in my 12th hse and trines Atlantis.

Serpent Power is significant in Kundalini. Last summer I had a series of Judeo-Christian dreams among which I saw 888 once. Triple 8 is connected with Jesus but also indicates serpentine energy.

I'm glad you were able to pick out the mystic rectangle in your chart. I would study the 22 degree some more by reading up on the sabians and making connections with the houses and signs. It seems important in your chart. The repetition of 3:33 is a good omen. Hope you are doing well otherwise

If you're reading this thread, I wanted to mention that I'd had an elaborate dream about you and Charmaine sometime back. Didn't mention it sooner b/c I didn't think you'd be interested. But it's been on my mind lately and I thought I'd go ahead and at least mention it. If you're interested, feel free to email me . I'll try and write it up as soon as I can and send it to you.

A portion of the dream was a clear recall in which I saw you dressed in Indian clothes. You were taller than in your current life (don't know how I know this), a bit over 6 ft, and also leaner than you are now (this I know from an earlier dream I had about you in which I saw you as you are now). I knew you in that past life in which I too was Indian b/c I said to you, "today you're dressed like my Dad." You smiled affectionately and gave me a big hug. So we were friends back then

The rest is personal, having to do with this life so I'll write that in an email (if you want). But I would check to see the placements of Indian/Vedic asteroids in your chart to confirm a past life as an Indian. Maybe if iQ has time, he can help you with this. You can also ask him about the accuracy of my dreams.

Good to see you again!

The Hindu deity/Kundalini asteroids that are placed at the various 22 degrees in my chart also include Gopalan (7754) and Ramachandran (20851).

Gopalan is another name for Krishna, an incarnation of Vishnu, whilst Ramachandran is Lord Rama. The asteroid Raman is usually mentioned as denoting Rama, however, Ramachandran is the more commonly used name.

Interestingly, I have these asteroids around 22 Cap -
Ramachandran 21.14
Soma 21.32
Anand 22.15 - joy or a state of bliss
Mahakala 22.21

I wasn’t implying that you’re short in your current life … merely that you’re shorter in this life than the life I saw in the recall. I wrote, “a bit over 6 ft”, mentally meaning a few inches over 6 ft (actually in the recall I saw you at approximately 6 ft 5 inches … very tall and very lean … like an American basketball player dressed in Indian clothes). But I didn’t want to write inches because then there would have been skepticism regarding the “implausibility” of an Indian being that tall … which would also be the result of our own 3D conditioning rather than an actual fact because, irrespective of the Indians we see in the US, I’m sure there are Indians in their home country who are that tall. Besides, if the recall was from … say a couple of thousand years ago, then who’s to say that the average height of Indians wasn’t 6 ft 5 in. at that time?

From personal experience with many dreams, I know that physical traits like age, height, weight, skin color, etc are very difficult to pin point, unless these physical traits are the focus of the dream. So for example, if I saw 2 children in a dream ages 4 and 6, it would be difficult to say which child was the older one unless something about their ages was being revealed as part of the information in the dream/recall. In my recall, your height was part of the focus/information being revealed to me because it showed to me that you looked different in the two incarnations.

Yet another instance of physical characteristics is from an earlier dream I had about you (I mentioned it in my previous post). In that dream I saw you in your current life … however since height was not the focus of that dream (unlike this recent recall), I could not say anything about your height, except that you’re taller than me (because we were both standing). But surprisingly, in that dream I seemed to hone in on your skin color … it was not the whole focus but in part. And focusing on your skin color was the Goddess’s way of correcting my previous misperception … because when I first joined LL and saw your face on the smiley button (in the smiley legends page), for some reason I thought you were black. But in the dream I saw you clearly as white. Not that it matters one way or another, but if I were given a choice, I would definitely go with the information from my dream(s) which I can confidently say are more reliable than what my 5 physical senses tell me.

The point I’m trying to make with these examples is to underscore the importance of what it is the dream is trying to convey. So the theme of the dream becomes the main focus with some peripheral information also serving a purpose. Anything beyond the scope of the main and peripheral information would be too hazy to pinpoint with certainty.

Another VERY IMPORTANT point of consideration has to do with the person who is having the recall. So if I’m having the recall about you, it means I’ve tapped into your “memory bank” (as well as mine if I’m also part of that previous life). But the information I’ve accessed has to be “decoded” so that I can understand it in a “language” that is known or familiar to me in my own current 3D life.

Some of the accessed information is “picked up” in the form of a simple “knowingness” that is common in such dreams … hence I “knew” you were taller in that life than in your current life. The rest of the information is converted or decoded to a familiar “language,” i.e., converted to a series of images that I understand, based on my own conditioning (as opposed to the rest of society’s conditioning).

So in relation to height, my personal view is that 6 ft is the average height for American males (including men from other countries who are living in the US and are Americanized), even though I know that the factual and accepted average height for the current American male is 5 ft 10 in. Why do I have this conditioning? Dunno, it could have something to do with quite a few of my men friends being 6 ft 3 in – 6 ft 4 in. So, possibly as a result of hanging out and interacting with tall men in general in this life, or perhaps carrying a past life memory of belonging to a community of tall people, I’ve developed a personal opinion that for men 6 ft is average; up to a couple of inches above 6 ft is medium-tall; between 2 and 4 inches above 6 ft is tall; and anything above 6 ft 4 inches is very tall. In my recall I saw you as very tall, so based on my own conditioning, you had to be at least 6 ft 4 inches in that past life … more like 6 ft 5 inches was my sense.

And in light of your saying that you’re 6 ft 1 inch in this incarnation, I think my seeing you as about 6 ft 5 inches in the recall to establish the difference in height, and hence the difference in the two incarnations, makes perfect sense, don’t you? And this is without knowing anything about your current height to begin with.

I also want to point out that I could just as easily have seen you as 5 ft 5 inches in the recall … in which case I’d have “known” you were shorter in that life as opposed to your current life. I think the whole point of the dream was to point out a few features (3 in this case) about your physical appearance that would help me understand that the dream life was a different incarnation. And these 3 features were your height, your build, and the clothes. Does this mean that you were actually that height or that build in that life? Not necessarily. Like I said, you could just as easily have been 5 ft 5 in. I think it was a way to convey the information that you led a past life as an Indian by differentiating it from your current physical appearance.

Furthermore, did you actually give me a big warm hug in that incarnation? If the recall was from a life in ancient India, then chances are that you did not actually give me a hug, because I don’t think that would have been the “norm” in the Indian society back then, i.e., men and women friends openly sharing hugs. But again, because in my current personal life I view hugs as part of a warm and caring friendship, I saw you give me a hug in the recall. This conveyed to me that not only did I know you in that life, but also that the nature of the relationship was based on what I would, in my current life, view as one of friendly caring and good will.

It was from this all-inclusive point of awareness that I didn’t want to get caught up in writing about inches … because I didn’t want to let my schoolin’ (conditioning) interrupt my education (the knowledge that was being conveyed to me).

Hope it all makes sense … to anyone who has begun to have recalls or is trying to understand how these types of dreams convey information stored in our consciousness.

For me this understanding has been gained in the past year and a half by careful study from different resources, including the Goddess Herself, and of course invaluable help from other people, plus my own research. And each time I get a dream, recall, or experience from any timeline, and can unravel the information that is being conveyed, I get zinged by a shot of wow in my brain. Wow because what’s breathtaking is the wealth of knowledge that’s out there … knowledge that if tapped into, can lift us from the pure mundane-ness of our existence to an absolute awe-inspiring perception. People in real life tell me repeatedly that I’m easy to wow or impress. Regardless of how they mean it (their tone is usually tinged with cynicism), I consider this a good thing, because a huge part of the joy we get from life comes from being able to be continuously impressed by its awesomeness. And that’s where our Kundalini fueled dream experiences can take us.

Without wanting to belabor the point, I’d like to give yet another example which I’d posted in another thread—the one in which I saw iQ as a sage. (I've posted the link for that thread above).

In that dream, which was a mix of a recall plus 5th dimension, I saw iQ with a certain physical appearance—with longish hair and thin in his physical body. The longish hair and slightly frail physical appearance conveyed to me, the dreamer, an image that I’m conditioned to understand as that belonging to a sage. Did he really look like that in that particular incarnation? No one can be sure of that. But what is certain is that he was a sage in one of his previous lives (as confirmed by his own recall). And the fact that I recognized him in the dream (actually first recognized his voice before I even saw him … an example of “knowingness” … without having heard him speak in real life … I’d only just met him on LL at the time), conveyed to me two things—that I knew him not only in that previous life, but was also currently meeting him in the 5th dimensional plane. At the time of writing that thread, when I had a more limited perception, I was convinced my dream was only a recall, and some others were convinced it was only a 5th dimensional experience. By now of course, it is clear to me that the dream was both. And its purpose was to convey to me, the dreamer, that I’ve known iQ in that past life in which he was a sage and that I’m currently meeting him on the 5th plane as well.

Ultimately, in my view, the purpose of all these dream and recall experiences is to give us a sense that—

1) Life is not just a snapshot of what we see in the fleeting single incarnation we’re currently experiencing, but a Continuum (Soul) of the Infinite Love’s Creation … a Continuum that takes on hundreds of different physical bodies only to release them at the appropriate time. So what is the use of getting attached to any one shape, size, color, or appearance of the physical body? Especially when this attachment to body arises from fear and not Love, and is the cause of all human suffering on the 3D plane?

And—

2) Each one of us is a multidimensional being, existing simultaneously on many different dimensions all the way up to at least the 12th dimension and perhaps even beyond. It is only through the gradual integration (by loving acceptance) of all our multi-selves that we will finally free ourselves from our attachment to our physical bodies (the root cause of our fear and all our suffering) and open ourselves to experience Life as we were truly meant to—in complete unending Bliss.

Here’s what I wrote earlier— “I'd known the importance of Garuda sometime back when I found it was in a 1 degree conjunction to my Venus/Wisdom exact conjunction in my 1st hse. All 3 (Venus/Wisdom/Garuda) sextile my NN (1-2 deg). Also, my Vishnu is conjunct my SN (1 deg) and sextiles Garuda (2 deg).”

Actually, Venus/Wisdom/Garuda are do not sextile but trine my NN (1-2 deg). They also trine my MC.

Astrokeen, right back at ya! When I return I’m going to post the link for the sabians website that I refer to the most. I’ve been away for some time and actually also off the grid for a bit. So bear with me

BTW, some Punjabis in Ancient India were very tall, and later on, the Mughals were also very tall.

If we take the dream symbolically, height equates to Self Confidence from Social Importance. Maybe you saw Randall as a Rajput Warrior of high rank or even a General.
