A DREAM VISION from Nutcracker:
Everything was black, the background,
the objects, except for some back lighting. Picture
an arch (like the Arch de Triomphe...only smaller). The
arch is flat on both sides and the top, the arched part is
on the inside of the structure. I believe the arch is
made of brick. Hanging from the arch is an upside
down (wooden) cross. The cross is wide on the four
ends and tapered toward the center. A light emanates
from behind the cross (much like you might find coming
from God). (5/30/98)

Dear Dreamers,
this is a most wondeful archetypal dream... no personnage, just
some archetypes and this is by far the hardest to interpret. In my point of
view,
Nutcracker has asking herself some very important "existentialist questions
and this is the divine answer she received... because there is a very important
symbolic message in this one... and you only have to look at it to understand.
Let's look at the different elements of this beautiful picture...
a)- Everything was black, the background,
the objects, except for some back lighting.
Again in my point of view, this is exactly the world that you live in...
which is in total darkness when it comes to Dreams...to our Visions of
the Night. You presently live in a material World of Darkness... ass it
was prophecised a long time ago...as in the following case, for example...
The Kalki Incarnation (Avatara)
Vishnu is yet to accomplish this incarnation. The Kalki-Purana says
that Vishnu will descend upon the earth at the end of the present age, which
is the Kali-yuga or the Age of Darkness...and precises of what we may expect
of his benevolent intervention in our degenerating world. As the Jews await
the coming of a Messiah, the Hindus await the arrival of Kalki, who will
destroy all evil, dispel darkness, and once again usher in the Golden Age,
the Krita-yuga. Vishnu will appear as Kalki, riding a White Horse, with
drawn sword, blazing like a Comet. He will usher in a new era of purity,
rightness and peace...and then return to heaven.
(extract from "Iconography of the Hindus, Buddhists and Jains"
p.34 ...and Encyclopedia of Mythology)
b)- Picture an arch (like the Arch de Triomphe...only smaller). The
arch is flat on both sides and the top, the arched part is on the inside.
I believe the arch is made of brick.
Yes! this is the "Arch of Triumph" known in France as the "Arc de
Triomphe de l'Etoile"... the "Arch of Triumph of the Star"... which is,
in Paris, the Gateway to the "Champs-Elysees"... the "Elysian Fields"
which in Mythology is "The blissful abode of the Other World.
For your info, at the foot of it was buried in 1921, the famous body
of the "Unknown Hero"... le "Soldat Inconnu."... in oder to commemorate
the death of 1,390,000 french soldiers who died in the first World-War.
Anyways, the Arc of Triomphe de l'Etoile, is the symbol of those who gave
their lives for the freedom of others.
"Death, that must come, cometh nobly when we give our wealth, and life,
and all, to make men live." ( The Book of Good Counsels, from the Hitopadesha
(Sir Edwind Arnold's Translation.))
Also, it seems to be made of brick and therefore, it is solid. I could
expand on this symbol... but let's proceed...
c)- Hanging from the arch is an upside
down (wooden) cross. The cross is wide on the four
ends and tapered toward the center.
OK! this is getting important... the cross is made of wood... therefore
from a living matter... because wood is a symbol of continual life. It is
tapered which is a concept used and figured on military Decoration Medals
of different countries to illustrate Merit or Value...as in the Victoria
Cross of Great-Britain, the Cross of Value of France, the Federal Cross of
Merit of Germany, the Cross of Leopold of Belgium, The Cross of the Royal
Order of Charles III of Spain and so on and more importantly the Cross of
the Order of the Christ of Portugal... because the Cross is the #1 symbol
of the Christos, the Celestial Messenger.
Actually, the Cross is a very old and most powerful symbol.
Lama Anagorika Govinda explains the power of this symbol of
supra-spiritual knowledge represented by the cross which they
know as Visva...as in Visva-Vajra the Cross-Thunderbolt.
"This is also expressed in Amoghasiddhi's visva-vajra,
which is an intensification of Aksobhya's vajra, not
merely in the sense of a reduplication, but in that of a
new perspective, a new plane of activity, a new dimension.
This Inner Way leads into the mystery of Amoghasiddhi,
in which the inner and the outer world, the visible and the
invisible, are united, and in which the spiritual takes
bodily shape, and the body becomes an exponent of the spirit.
For Amaghasiddhi is the Lord of the Great Transformation,
whose vehicle is the Winged Man, the man in transition
towards a new dimension of consciousness. He is the Lord
of the element "Air" or "Wind", the principle of motion,
of living breath, of life-force."
(Lama Anagarika Govinda, "Foundations of Tibetan Mysticism ",
published by K.P. Churamani for B.I. Publications,
New Delhi, 1960, p. 262.)
In simple words, the Cross represents the mastery of lives in
the two worlds, indicated by the two axis... the horizontal as
the samsaric world on earth and the vertical for the spiritual
world.
However, here the Cross is upside down, because in the normal fashion
it represents Death... and the other way around it represents "Life" and
more accurately in the precise sense of "Resurrection"!!!! Yes! Mam!
And a last detail in this respect is the stricking fact that this Cross
is suspended from Above...not planted in the Earth ... but suspended to
the top of the Arc of Triumph of the Star... indicating the vault of
Heaven!!!
d)- A light emanates from behind the cross
(much like you might find coming from God).
And the only light around comes from behind and seems to come from God...
this is quite interesting.
So, what the Hell do you think that the message is in this one...???
To me it appears very clear, in darkness like that, if you wish to see
better, then you simply put your own lights on it, and then you just
might see better.
So, don't be afraid to shine your lights on this "French Speaking"
monument, which is, by no means, nothing else than the...
"Arch of the Covenant of the Twentieth Century"
... because this most beautiful and equally meaningful and truthful
"Vision of the Night" is obviously a message for everyone and thanks
again to our generous Dreamwonder Nutcracker for sharing it among us.
Welcome to the Arch and don't forget to turn your lights on!
Regards,
Dr. Deus
