Dreams are just thought provoking Eric. i believe you drew me towards the thought for a reason. It did not seem as important until that point. There may be some connection between my communication and Kalamazoo since the person in the dream suggested i go to Kalamazoo to have 'better communication'. Sometimes we just witness these things over time and allow things to unfold naturally at the same time taking what ever opportunities arise to see if there is some true message to it.
Most people under rate their inner life and many incidents that happen in their life--putting too much emphasis on the outer manifestation of life's events instead of on an inner recognition of events and situations. That is why i like communicating with you over the years so much. We have tried to understand those symbols-those soft spoken voices of spirit that are trying to make contact with us through the noise of our own stormy thoughts, distractions and desires. i really have this faith that spirit is trying to help us. We have to make ourselves receptive and be open to various questions and hunches we get that open the doors.
It is fascinating to look at old posts and find how we thought and saw our experiences with friends. Also, how various circumstances have changed or diminished the innocence and purpose of our relationships. Hopefully we will also uncover the spiritual purpose of these changing conditions and circumstances as well. Reading between the lines often helps. In the dream I went back to my past (in Kalamazoo where I grew up.) to resolve some communication challenges. This has proven to be prophetic. So I am also doing that again tonight... returning to the past to get a perspective on the present. Links to the past -(sometimes sharing experiences other times past lives or dreams) can bring distant drums again to the present and with their sound an understanding and awakening.
Last nite I had a dream in which someone I knew was being tested but didn’t study the proper material for the test so he failed it. He was so depressed about it he went to sleep. I was observing the whole ordeal and felt his feelings. It often is emotionally draining to watch others go through some of the trials they face. There is a feeling that you really can’t help friends that will not listen or cannot hear you. Sometimes we just have to be good listeners.
Looking at this old post also left me thinking about you Eric and the true purpose of our friendship; which I seemed to describe accurately in the quote above. There was quite a lot of messaging going on at the time between friends here at the site. I think Katze (Nikki) was responsible for a lot of messaging and activity between members active at the time. Her passing did change things here quite a bit. I felt relieved to feel her presence from the other side which resolved some challenges arising here that I experienced and perhaps others can relate to as well. She was supportive and instrumental in creating this site.
The harsh clamor of the world subsides in the sounds and symbols of soft spoken voices of spirit,
Jitendra
