Recurring dream and the concept of fate

I've been having the same dream that ends when the alarm goes off but is still very vivid in my mind when I wake for at least a week now.

I keep being shown how the "cosmos" works. I can't think of a better word for it than cosmos right now. It probably has a lot to do with the fact I'm an aging hippy.

There is this vast moving sea of time and space and events. It's all very free-flow looking, yet there's nothing random about it. Events "pass each other" in this sea at the 'appointed' time in the 'appointed' space. This concept I'm seeing rather changes my belief of why I can sometimes see the future, which is that the 'force' is all-knowing. It more supports the concept of fate. It doesn't, however, negate the concept of 'free will'. We are free to act, react and feel toward these fated 'coming togethers' of events as they happen.

I noticed also that there is nothing circular or cyclic about this 'sea.' There's no ebb and flow...which is how I was understanding Hex 24...ebb and flow...cyclic. It's not that at all.

So...knowing that recurring dreams are my subconscious' effort to make me see some obstacle I need to overcome or to prepare me...and knowing that something rather important is going to happen in my life at any minute...I finally thought to ask the I Ching why this dream was recurring. The Yi answered Hex 11 change to Hex 24.

Cheerio the noo,

Val

As I see it, in every moment future is always determined, yet it is determined for this particular present moment alone. As the moment changes, a new future emerges, still completely determined, but distinct from the previous one. So if we do nothing, we merely follow the future trend, therefore renouncing our free will. But if we act in this present moment, we are in fact changing the determined future ahead. Its pretty much karmic. At this very moment, the result of my past deeds determines what my future will be. But if I act now (in the present, where else?) I can plant the seeds for future merits. The good I do now changes my fate by changing my karma. This is why the Yi can tell us what the future will tend to be, but it cannot state plainly what indeed it will be (cause that would violate free will). As the universal clock ticks, we create a new future, and so asking the same question after the situation evolves, can bring a different answer, which does not contradict the first cause the state of things has changed. So when we get a bad omen, we need not take it as an inevitable fate, but merely where we're heading should we fail to correct our wrong attitudes. Its all in our hands...

So...

I guess it goes without saying, because I've been shown at least part of the master plan and a master plan doesn't just happen, it's created, I've had to make an alteration or two in my belief system...*aims and shoots "collective synapses energy output" theory at trashcan*...and it's IN for three points!

So then...

I consulted the Yi and I said, "So there is a God after all...and it loves me. And the Yi answered...

Hex 5

When I read your dream, I thought "the Dream of Dreams"

Now I read your reaction and I think "the Mind of Minds"

Hexagram 5 makes me think, sometimes, of Rilke's phrase 'ein Engel hinmuss' - an angel has to come in. (Better in German because the 'having to' is the whole verb.) It's the quality of your waiting and expecting, how present you are, that creates the space that must be filled.

I am filled with a lot of respect for you, and wonder at what you are making space for.

Wow LiSe...

That is about as high a compliment as I can think of...coming from a WiSe woman like you.

Thank you.

You know I didn't even read Hex 11 change to Hex 24 when I threw the coins. I threw, posted and ran off to work. I read it when I got home from work and was just so pleased with the answer.

I have been through some pretty dark times of late. At times I felt so tested and like my coping skills and endurance couldn't endure much longer, and I thought, "What do I look like to you? Job???" But then I started having these dreams I've posted here, the experience with Hex 26 and "cracking my little whip," and I could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, and a sense of peace like I've never felt before has come over me.

I notice...but don't question...that this very comforting image of the sea of life and master plan and proof of God wasn't shown to me until after the change from dark to light began...not during the dark times when I would think I needed it most. It's kind of like God saying, "I was here with you the whole time. You just needed to know you could make it through on your own."

Well I'll just wait and see now what else God has in mind for me. I'll be sure and let you know as soon as I do...*grin*

I just stopped typing this post and told the Yi that I now have a very firm belief in...and love of God, and it answered Hex 42 (changing lines 2, 3 and 4) to Hex 1. I love all three lines. I'd love to be given such a responsibility.

Cheerio the noo,

Val

Hilary...

Maybe the answer I just got from the I Ching is the answer to your wondering. I threw the coins about the same time you were wondering. Look at the times on the posts. I sure hope it's the answer at any rate...*grin*

Thank you too! You're yet another wise woman...not to mention very patient...*grin*... I've found on this forum.

Cheerio the noo,

Hi Val

Thanks for the Maya site link? Here it is for anyone interested

http://www.survive2012.com/why2012fractal.html

It?s been observed by many over the years that when someone is very in tune with the Dao or God, whatever they call it, then the level of synchronous events rockets. Jung?s forward in Wilhelm is good on this, but it takes a little patience to read? he was not the clearest of writers.

You seem plugged right into the mains at the moment

Well that wasn't a very long wait (Hex 5). They're baaa-aaaaack...*titters*. Seriously, they came back already. A new recurring dream...yesterday morning and this morning. But I'm catching on now, and I got it this morning. They gave me a little project. I wonder if this is the project in the emerald square dream? I get to be creative so it should be fun.

I'm not telling yet. You'll have to wait for the 'unveiling'...*grin*

Cheerio the noo,

Val

Just a little story, maybe you have heard it before but here goes.
A man is talking to God as he walks along the beach, he asks, " God, sometimes when I walk on the beach I know your there, because I can see two sets of footprints. But sometimes when things are really hard I look but there is only one set, why are you not there when things are tough?
God says " Don't fear my love, the reason you only see one set of footprints at these times , is because thats when Im carrying you".

Dear Davidl,

Yes I've heard that story before. It's one of those stories, however, that bears repeating...and repeating...and repeating. It's always nice to be reminded. Thank you.

Cheerio the noo,

Val
