Union of Opposites

My Spirit Realm is that energetic nebulous reality that inspires my intuition and purpose in life. It directs my insights and imagination to find meaning and direction in my earthly experiences. It is that unseen, but clear felt energetic inspirational sense of divine clarity into the underlying significance of life beyond the physical, but as the physical and through the physical. This is where I connect and relate with my Higher Self.

The Symbols metaphors, myths, legends and poetic stories that comes through my energy sketching are Magical Spiral Staircases, Sparkling light protruding from a central point, and interconnected networking grids between a variety of sources. There are also feathering, blooming and vulvalike eye shaped seed-like energies filled with eternal potential that radiates power.

Besides the strong focus on interconnected points from all that exist and circles, vulvas, spirals and star expansions, I experience the magic of being at the edge of the ocean as it meets the beach (earth), the sun and wind. Laying there where the elements of life all connect is usually a profound energetic experience. I miss being there as I cannot do so very often. At the same physical point that night next to the ocean at one occasion, I looked up at the bright stars in the sky and saw a star cloud very far in the distance between the brighter stars. My star app described that cloud cluster as M45, where the Pleiades are.

That night I had a dream so clear that I felt awake. Two beings visited me, a man and a woman who were connected. They reminded me of aboriginal people, but they were even different to everything I know about aboriginal tribes. The man and woman touched their feet together and giggled with delight. They told me that “now is the time” and that the woman will be my guide from now on. I will not be alone. I need to bring music and sound into my life and relate them to the work on the Archetypes I have already done. The man then rolled himself up in a ball and looked much like a bear, but he was transparent and inside him I could see two people who was supposed to be his children, yet to be born. The woman had curly wild red hair crowning her beautiful round smiling face and sparkling green eyes. In my dream I knew these rounded transparent beings was somehow connected to the Pleiades.

I felt exhilarated throughout my whole body when I woke up and felt the urge to immediately do research about what and who the Pleiades are. This is what I found on the internet: The Pleiades are also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, which is an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky. The Pleiades was known to the Celts, Hawaiians, Maori, Aboriginal Australians, the Persians, the Arabs, the Chinese, the Quichua the Japanese the Mayan the Aztec the Sioux, the Kiowa, and the Cherokee.

Metaphysical meaning of Pleiades (mbd) Pleiades, ple'-ia-des (Gk.) --the seven stars- seven daughters of Atlas; heap; cluster; bound together; family; much more; abundance; increase; multitude; superior; more excellent; perfect.

A group of seven stars (only six are now visible) in the shoulder of Taurus, the Bull (Job9:9). This constellation appears at the beginning of spring and indicates the coming of spring. To the Greeks, with the rising of this group of stars in the early spring, navigation began, and was supposed to close when the Pleiades disappeared late in the autumn. According to the margin Job 38:31 would read, "Canst thou chain the sweet influences of the Pleiades?"

In Greek legends, too, the stars of the Pleiades were said to be the companions of Artemis, or Diana, who stood to them for the goddess of vitality, or of reproduction of life on the earth, and for the sustenance of all forms of life.

A star represents a truth, light, that apparently is beyond man's present conception, something that is but dimly understood by him; and seven is the number of ‘fulfillments’ in the natural human. The Pleiades, the group of seven Stars that indicate spring, with the "sweet influences" that bring the warm weather and the growth of vegetation for the nourishment of man, signify a human's present faint comprehension of the one life and intelligence, the one love and guiding power, that is ever working for the eternal progress and good of the race--the Mother-God, the Holy Spirit, the Oversoul, that is always brooding over the earth and the human race, bringing about the fulfilling of the natural processes and lifting all to spiritual understanding , consciousness, and expression.

Hermeticism, an esoteric system based on writings attributed to the Hermes Trismegistus, includes treatises on the esoteric symbolism of constellations and planets. Hermes may have been from Greece or Egypt but has been referred to as “a son of the Nile.” He is also believed to be the father of Western astrology and alchemy. His writings are rumored to have first appeared in second century (AD) Rome, and he has always been associated with the Greek god Hermes as well as the Egyptian Thoth.

According to Hermetic traditions, the seven stars open seekers to a more refined level of consciousness. Viewed as a “school of learning” by hermeticists, only those who have been purified of energetic blocks to the subtle body. Invitation to and initiation into the Pleiadian wisdom teachings comes spontaneously during sleep or deep meditation. The Pleiades are also viewed as our solar system’s source of electrical energy from the little sister star Electra.

The Pleiades open up the intuitive intelligence of the seeker to a higher level in which consciousness and knowledge become one. This is the only way that Divine Wisdom and Knowledge express themselves in seekers so that they may share them with others. To be able to impart wisdom to others, seekers must first become that wisdom.

The Pleiades’ role, then, is to help seekers become consciously aware of Divine Knowledge and Wisdom, which is why their etheric, astral and mental bodies must be purified before being able to integrate with that spiritual realm. The Pleiades represent a spiritual “station” where the Perfect Model within seekers is energized and comes alive on earth. The first phase of the process involves great changes within yourself, dying to your old patterns before being “reshaped” in it. Once you are in the mould, you will never be the same, and will remain in it until you and the mould unite, manifesting your Perfect Model in and around you. In due course, you will emerge renewed from the Mould. Initially, however, look upon it as much more than just your tomb. In fact, after the complete purification of your “old” self and purging of deceptive thought and emotional forms, you will discover it to be your sacred “womb,” in which your Divine nature within the Christ Child waits like a sacred seed for the right moment to germinate in your life. That will be the day of your rebirth. There is a saying in the Christian Bible concerning the Pleiades in which Job speaks of "the sweet influences of the Pleiades," whilst some of the Oriental Scriptures affirm that our connection to the Pleiades are made through sound and vibration. Alice Bailey suggested that perhaps the Pleiades are the source of the atomic life of our Logos, the active intelligent aspect, that one, which was first developed, and which we might call electrical matter. Hence it concerns the astral and etheric aspects of electric matter. We can understand therefore that the influence of the Pleiades concerns the transformation of the vibrational rates of matter.

The word "electricity," may be traced back to the star Electra, which is supposed to be one of the little lost sisters of the seven Pleiades. Perhaps the Pleiades are the source of the atomic life of our Logos, the active intelligent aspect, which we might call electrical matter as Alice Bailey suggested.

O my goodness, what an experience…

I now feel that symbolically the man and the woman may represent my Higher Self Yin and Yang sides – the anima and animus that are of Higher Vibration. There are still ‘children’ (creative projects) that needs to be brought into this world from logical labour, supported and guided by the feminine nurturing observing and loving side.

I was surprised that the luminous colours of the two figures and the spirals, wheels that created a central eye, wanted to be glowing in a dark background. I felt exhilarated.

I felt calm, safe and yet eternal. My body relaxed and expanded every cell to its fullest with warmth and trust. My breath slowed down into a rhythm that brought awareness to every molecule of oxygen travelling through me, making me feel whole and complete.

The Deep Dark Silence is what wakes my Spirit,

ignites the Light in me.

The Eternal Divine Night is where Life becomes,

where I grow true to Truth.

This is where rainbows are born,

starring illumination over all.

The Deep Dark Holy Silence

Is where the sound of Reality vibrates.

In this Silence is where I hear.

In this Darkness, this Vastness, this Dream-time

I see.

I realize that Dream-time is my access to Divine, and Dream-time is all the time, at night and day. There are no polarities, only perceived paradoxes on my human level. Joy is not about not having any pain or sorrows; it is about living in grace and awe of the amazingly abundant, imaginative, creative and vast, unfolding Universe that I am part of. Joy is about being in the harmony of Creation unfolding; hearing and seeing what it communicates and responding with action to its purpose. Joy is growing and evolving. Joy is giving and receiving. Joy is experiencing and expression in Life, weaving all the dimensions of reality together in a conscious and practical way.

Love and Blessings,
