The Spiritual Teacher Returns to give Discourses

Greetings!

I am excited about July and August.  The spiritual teacher (a realized master) will return to give discourses later this month.  He will stay until the middle of August.  (Re The Spiritual Teacher's Birthday and other posts published from June to Oct. 2016.)

After the spiritual teacher returned to his country last September, our group met once a month.  The master healer (the professor) came to be with us each month.  He lived in a state that was far from our state.  We were very grateful for his commitment to lead us.
 
Unlike last year, I might not write about the upcoming retreat except if I felt a certain happening would be beneficial to share.  I wrote about what happened last year because it was the first time I went to a 7-day retreat.  I learned many more people had signed up online for this year's retreat.  That was wonderful!  

My friends and I are looking forward to be in the presence of the spiritual teacher again.  In joy, I share with you the good news.

Peace,

Music in the Air

Greetings!

I did not recall any dream for some days.  Before I went to sleep last night, I prayed for help to remember my dreams if they were of significance.  

I knew I had a long dream this morning.  However, music in the air woke me up from my dream.  It was early in the morning.  It was not music in the apartment or in the neighborhood.  It was something I perceived.  With the music going on and on, I could not recall any part of my dream. 

I was not good in remembering names and faces.  It was the same with music.  I seldom pay attention to the titles of songs except if I really liked them.  Normally, I only remembered a couple of lines or a small portion of the lyrics of the songs that I knew.  Sometimes I woke up hearing music I had not heard before.  I dropped down some musical notes on paper, but could not hum the music in tune afterward.  As with songs that I felt kind of familiar, I had a hard time of figuring out the title of the song. That was what happened this morning.  I hummed the music over and over again.  I finally got it that the song had the words "the newborn king".

So I signed into YouTube.  The song was "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing".  I read the lyrics, and listened to different singers (or groups) sang the song.  Their voices might be beautiful, yet I felt something was missing.  Then I clicked a flash mob video of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing".  Seeing the joyful smiles on some people's faces as well as watching those that came together to sing the song in goodwill and free spirit, I smiled joyfully too.  (May 18, 2022 just found out it was not available on YouTube anymore)

I had watched some flash mob videos before, but I had not watched this one.  Many of these videos were joyful to watch.  Why did I hear "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" this morning?  I did not know.  Anyway, as I watched the flash mob video of this song, somehow I did not have the feeling that something was missing.  It might be in the free spirit of giving and receiving, or of sharing joy, joy was fully expressed.

Many blessings,

P.S.  "Pass It On" and You Are My Sunshine are posts on music in the air too.

Our view of others and our positive attitude in any situation

Greetings!

While I am the Queen of Dreams, my loved ones are not into dreams.  Sometimes my older son talks in his dreams as if he is having a conversation.  He talks normally in his dream state.  All these years, he had only shared with me one of his dreams.  The dream he had was like a long, real-life story, and it had kind of changed one of his views about life afterward.  My husband thinks he rarely dreams, but he does.  From his inaudible sound and fighting hand movement, he seems to have nightmares once in a while.  If I wake him up, he says he cannot remember his dream.  I believe they easily forget their dreams because they think dreams are unimportant and not worth remembering.

Here is a dream I would like to share with you.

Two women, one older than the other, walked past me.  They were talking.  They seemed to have an opinion about me.  The older woman was an energy healer.

Then I saw three young men.  One of them dressed elegantly, and acted as if he was superior than other people.  When they walked past, the arrogant one bumped into me with his shoulder.  I exclaimed.  A young man was with me (my son?).  He asked, "Are you alright?  What happened?"  I did not want to start any discord.  I did not tell him another young man had incidentally knocked my shoulder.  I intentionally said out loud, "Nothing!  Someone just accidentally rushed past me."

Now the three young men were inside somewhere.  They were not physically within my sight.  However, I could feel their reaction from where I was.  Hearing my words, the young man that bumped into me with his shoulder felt he was wrong, and should not have done that.

The reaction of the young man made the dream me realize others could change when I changed how I felt about them and handled a situation with a positive attitude.  

I thought of the woman who was an energy healer.  I decided to reach out to her.  In the dream, the woman was delighted I took the first step of talking to her.  So there we were talking to one another.  She was all smiles.  We talked about energy and healing.

I woke up.  I went over the dream.  With my sensitive nature, I knew who was happy, sad, friendly, or distant since I was a child.  In the dream, I saw how positively others responded when I treated them with a positive embracing attitude.  I realized I should discern any judgmental, negative feeling of others that I might have in the first instant.

I had this dream a few years ago.  At the end of the entry, I wrote - good dream, good input, right on, thank you.
