Where this sits in the contact
Polarity and the adept
service-to-others and service-to-self as honest paths of an octave, and why this school’s curriculum for most is love. Specialness as the elite trap.
Comes after session 85 (Significator). Opens into session 87 (Mars).
In plain words
In this sitting
- Catalyst of Spirit: the Star — hope arriving as light. Experience of Spirit: the Moon — the work of faith in dimness.
- Hope is not a mood. It is a ray. Faith is walking when the ray is thin.
- The Course’s trust. Same night.
How this sitting is misread
Waiting for the Star as a feeling. Do the Moon’s walk.
Deeper meaning
Ra: if the mind will not use the day, the dream still will. Recurring dreams are unfinished rows. Color is a clue (red fear, green love, etc.). The body may also speak what the mind hid. This library’s Dreams and Blockages pages are this session, expanded. The Course uses dreams as images of the mind’s split (T-18, T-27). Interpret as ‘what did I not use?’ not as ‘what will happen?’
Practice
On waking, write one feeling and one color. One sentence: which center? Then use that catalyst before noon.
Dreams, sleep, wanderers' rest. The Holy Spirit uses sleep in ACIM too. Cooperate.
Course
T-18 the passing of the dream. Dreams as the mind’s unused content.
Open streamSpalding
A dream is a mercy: a second chance at yesterday’s unused thing. Take it.
Open streamRueckert
The group noted dreams as data, not as scripture. Copy the humility.
