The Stories Dream Catchers Weave: Chapter 17  Dream Star DreamCatchers

In thinking about the traditional Christmas with the Christmas tree and decorations I thought how I might make an ornament for the Christmas tree.  It must be small and three-dimensional like a ball yet economical and affordable.  Combining the commonly used mid-point weave with the end-point weave of the traditional spider web, I created Dream-Catchers that could hand on the Christmas tree and yet carry a meaning and be used throughout the year.. 

Dream Star Dream-Catchers tell a wisdom story about how the blazing power of the Dream Star sends brilliant, clear light to illuminate every corner of your being.  Seeing clearly Who you Truly are, you can acknowledge your greatness and let go of the foolish, unnecessary games you've played, the patterns that have kept you from realizing your authentic natural right and heritage.  Peace can only come from within, and your dreams provide the insight and courage to soar with the White Eagle. There is no path to this spiritual awakening for you are already there, but you have hidden your light in a veil of illusion.  You only need to clear away the systems of belief that limit your freedom to BE.

 This is part of a reply to a letter from “Jane:”

Dear Jane,

When you find a window open it is for looking through to get a picture of where you can go next. But climbing through....that's an act of impatience.....ego-mind. Pushing the river. Can't be done! Roll back the tide? Impossible! What to do? Become the river flowing to the sea. Watch the experience come to you and let it go on its way. The pain of a lifetime is in the experiences grabbed and held. Then there is life in the past, not joy in the present. Only the Now MOMENT is alive. Expect NOTHING and be surprised at the JOY!

The obstacles you encounter are the result of expecting, thrashing about, fighting the flow with will and wanting to go...there. You've been a Buddha riding on his ox in search of the Buddha...been there, done that, bought the T-shirt, it didn't fit, and now I'm here, where I began, no path to follow, no books to read, no dogmas or doctrines or mantras or sutras or prayers! Just being me – allen aslan heart – authentic human being without baggage living in the freedom of my natural heritage. Soaring. There are ALWAYS obstacles to the ultimate OUT THERE. That's intentional. Out there is just the illusion and the reality is within. Remember: “The kingdom of God is within you.” Could Jesus be more clear?

Wishes and dreams. You want to make a difference in the world. OK. Start with yourself and totally give up on changing the world. Only when you are clear and discover the richness of the Jane hidden from your knowing, then and only then can you do anything outside yourself. All the rest is the madness of the ego-mind. Let go of the madness of mind and discover the delight of your hidden inner world. When you find yourself the world will automatically be changed immensely for the better. And be a speaker? For what? For whom? More ego-mind talking. Too many motivating speakers are already leading people, persuading, convincing, assuaging, and massaging a message – without finding their true essence and natural wisdom. Cut and paste blarney.

The very best teaching is by example, not in your doing but in your very being. Find your natural voice, discover your original face, and know yourself and all the rest will fall into place naturally.

Perhaps you are beginning to grasp that it is your ego-mind that has you crawling back from the attempt at change. Ego-mind is retreating to the comfort zone of complacency or normalcy. Congratulations on a job well done helping the kids to be successful in an ego-mind society. Truly, you have done very well; you were successful, as you understood success. Your children will be very successful, like yourself, until once again they hit the wall or the obstacles as you have and wonder why there are so many obstacles to their ultimate objective. Why do they always seem to be living inside a box? So many closed doors? Crawling through the windows! Please understand that I am not faulting you for doing what I've done, what billions of other people have done. Just see that it is all illusion after all. Find the book Hope for the Flowers in a bookstore. It's yellow but it's golden. Maybe give each of your kids a copy for Christmas. Like The Littlest Acorn, it's elegantly simple and stunningly true.

You've been fighting your way to the top of the heap where nothing of value is to be found, whereas the alternative is elegantly simple and the experience is stunningly beautiful. Let the dream star show you the games you play so you can relax and experience life more freely and Soar with the White Eagle.
