I think I am finally getting the hang of understanding these, too. today's triple whamming was interesting.
First, I am experiencing being a woman who thinks she must leave a ship that is like a cruise-liner. In her room she and her son were staying. Demons in that room killed her son's little girl companion. We are not afraid, but I think it is not good for him to be there. Those same demons try to kill me, but I just sing and ignore them. They try to suffocate me to stop my singing. I simply reply in my mind that I will just go on singing in my own mind no matter what they do to me. They leave us alone. I head for a drawer to get money we had left there so we have resources when we leave the ship. I am thinking I must have to hurry because ships don't stay in port very long in my experience. I turn and ask a friend: how long before the ship leaves? She said it would be in port for four more days but I got the sense that 4 days meant it would be there for a very long time. I wasn't scared during this, I was simply concerned for my son's well-being.
From this I understand the ship to be my circumstances. There is not the pressure to have to hurry to leave them as I had believed. The little girl companion was me, my soul as a child. The son, that which many call the Christ seed, the spirit in me. The demons destroyed my naivite amongst other things about me, but that is not such a bad thing. I enjoy my maturity. Maybe the little girl will be ressurrected as the demons destroy the discomfort I have at being completely child-like again. i just don't feel it is safe or appropriate fo rme to be completely free right now. I have to play the adult for two small children. While I'd love to conquer all with love and patience, complete detachment an d non-challance, children like a bit of structure and discipline(guidence), the stability they don't feel as not-yet masters of their emotions. I am not afraid of anything, just mildly concerned about doing the right thing, which might rightly be called fear ofnot doing the right thing. maybe a fear i need to let go of. I will have ot reflect on that. Is my concern justified? Is anything here truly a threat to my "son"?
Second one, My son is riding a big bike without difficulty, I am on foot. A guy is with us who I am experiencing as my husband and he is riding a children's tricycle awkwardly. We are navigating paths in a maze trying to avoid other people.
Normally I would worry that I was running from something, but in this case, we are simply trying to avoid running into trouble on life's pathways. I thought it a bit annoying that the man clung to his tricycle, even my son was riding a bike too big for him with no problem. The man was slowing us down. But I accepted it good-naturedly and patiently. I guess I am learning to accept other people's limitations, not being judgemental about their spiritual immaturity, being more patient with them even if I think they are capable of more. That's a good thing.
Thirdly came me living in a big yellow New England farmhouse with white porches. It has the feel of a TV commercial. Down the highway comes a man in a yellow car with an evergreen tree tied to the top of it. his vehicle is covered in dust, a bit beat up and it's having some problems because he's driving it backwards down the street. He pulls into the yard, the tree sliding off, barely hanging on the side of the car and I invi.te him to stay. I ask if he'd like to drive around back because it might be easier to bring the tree in that way. He agreed. I got the sense that this man was my husband.
I am comfortable in my own self, it is like a big yellow New England farmhouse, freshly painted and well-maintained. I have been "advertising" that I think I might be ready to start dating, be in a relationship. This advertising draws a man or spirit with a good heart but a bit of clumsiness and a bit in need of a place to call home. it may be that a part of me is a bit clumsy and in a bit of need for a place to call home, it would be the intellectual part of me, the aspect of my life that would bring in financial prosperity, a job, an income. that is definately how I would describe that part of my life right now.
Between the last two, I can see where I might be perceiving something with a bit of immaturity, placing limits on myself I don't need, limiting my own financial well-being. something else worth reflecting on. I tend to be stubborn in that area because my heart is very picky. But, immaturity is immaturity and I want to grow up.
