Ancient dreams also answered questions about the source of an illness or malady, life questions for pilgrims who journeyed to the temple, and initiates of the inner circle. Mystery plays dealt with the same subjects, characters, and symbols we dream about today, just shy of higher octave initiation. Oversoul may appear in the dream to instruct in the form of a shaman, guardian angel, or an illumined figure* with a desire to be helpful [usually by presenting the dreamer new knowledge required to advance]. When elders appear they may also represent our ancestors, who have some special insight we may not easily observe clothed in 'modern' form.

A cauldron (Latin caldarium, "hot bath") is an item similar to a bucket or kettle and is used to brew, hold potions and also may be used to carry supplies. Cauldrons are heated over an open fire and can be hung over a fire from an iron handle.

In the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, every Witch and Wizard owns at least one cauldron. It has been noted that, “This versatile item can be used to brew potions, to carry supplies, and, in a pinch, to clobber an attacker.”

 

For Your Cauldron and Crock-Slow Cooker

Feast when you return...
Place your Chicken, lightly browned and quartered, with quartered fennel, and quartered onion into the cauldron. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, rosemary, and Marsala wine [about a cup] and cook.

When done, add lightly toasted pine nuts, tops of fennel, parsley, green olives [sliced], and grated parmeasean or pecorino cheese. Hot!

   The Technique of Grafting

Dreams are multi-taskers and should be recorded in detail in a personal journal. Things we don't understand or clearly remember should be written down immediately. Even though the dream characters may be introductory [to parts of ourselves or personifications of subtle energy we are not registering via the traditional five senses] dreams may also provide formulae or be a premonitory signal to a dreamer. It might be the right time to change part of a theme or relationship script, prepare for a new job, or set off on a journey.

The sensorium and astrosome encourage grafting, transfiguration, and metamorphosis. A graft is the union of parts of two plants to make a single plant. Grafting is a natural as well as an artificial or manually controlled process.

Accomplished farmers can graft as many branches of flowering fruit as they wish onto a mother tree, called a stock. The mother tree then provides food and water for the 'new addition'. There are different kinds of grafting, each with many methods. Use of dream grafting is especially positive for the dream programmer. Ask about more information if you are interested.

 

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus

 

"Because there are innumerable things
beyond the range of human understanding,
we constantly use symbolic terms to
represent concepts that we cannot define or
fully comprehend. This is one reason why
all religions employ symbolic language or
images. But this conscious use of symbols is
only one aspect of a psychological fact of
great importance: Man also produces
symbols unconsciously and spontaneously,
in the form of dreams."

-Carl G.Jung

  Colour Codes

Psychologically, as the middle of the spectrum, green feels soothing and restores a feeling of natural harmony. Many who play golf recognize green as beneficial for the nerves because the colour facilitates stress reduction. (Many hospitals now prefer green and white uniforms and interior decor.) Proper implementation of green implies a master able to establish equilibrium between bi-polar extremes. As one of two universal enhancers, blue-green focalizers are excellent for anyone well versed in public speaking or a high profile lifestyle. As suggested by the deep teal and green cast to the set of The Sixth Sense, cooler wardrobe tones carry off the sensorium's intimate texture.

Jedi Master Yoda sets his light saber to green. Teachers employ green as an effective negotiating tool. It enables memory based on audio input and is versatile, working equally well in both hot and cold, advancing and retreating modes. Middle green is a solid healing and uniting colour used by negotiators, advertising [dollar bill is green], and mediums.

 

   Consideration in Negotiations

Avoiding Loss of Negotiating Power by
Insulating Oneself from Snap, Often Regrettable, Decisions

When, against one’s will, one is high-pressured into making a hurried decision, the best answer is always “No,” because “No” is more easily changed to “Yes,” than “Yes” is changed to “No.”

-Charles. E. Nielson

Certainly it is true that in most negotiations you should approach the negotiation fully prepared to make decisions quickly and decisively whenever you feel the necessity to do so. But what happens in a situation in which you must make decisions in haste and you are not fully prepared to do so or not fully convinced that the decision should be made, or what the correct decision should be?
You may often find yourself in these circumstances because of various reasons such as undue pressure from your opponent, the disclosure of new information, or sudden developments that you had anticipated while making your preparation.

Action to Take When You Are Unsure of What Decision to Make

Whenever you are confronted with a situation in which you are in doubt about what decision to make, you should either ask for additional time in order to consider the matter in more detail or, if that is not possible, say no. Often, you will find that your opponent is attempting to deliberately pressure you into making a snap, quick decision, knowing that doing so will make you unable to give due consideration to the correctness of your decision. In order to justify putting the pressure on you for a hurried decision, your opponent may, for example, say that time is of the essence, money can be made if there is no delay in a decision, or someone else (such as another purchaser or seller) will intervene to shut you out.

You should not allow yourself to be pressured by such tactics. Even if you are inclined to say yes on the particular issue being considered but are not absolutely certain, you should, if you don’t want to say no, attempt to work out a solution that will give you more time to reflect upon and study the matter.

Assume, for example, that you want to acquire farmland for investment purposes. You hope that the land will appreciate substantially in value in a few years and that you’ll then be able to sell it for a nice profit. You find the price of the land fully acceptable. The seller indicates that he or she must have a decision on the land before the day is out. The fact that the land was for sale had been brought to your attention rather hurriedly, and you did not have a real opportunity to fully investigate the land’s investment potential although you are fully satisfied that the current asking price is fair. You also have reason to believe that the land would be a good investment. Nevertheless, rather than make a snap decision since land is one of the least liquid of investments, you propose that you be given a ten-day option in exchange for payment of a slightly higher price in the event that you exercise the option to purchase the property. This slightly higher price provides the motivation for the seller to grant you the option. You argue that if you exercise the option, the seller has benefitted by the higher price so the seller loses nothing by granting the ten-day option. If the option is not exercised, the seller is still free to sell the land to others after the ten-day option period has expired.

In this manner you have obtained the extra time you need to more thoroughly look into the investment potential of the land. You have thus avoided a snap, hurried decision that could prove harmful. The land, for example, may not be zoned for the right type of development and prospects for obtaining a favorable zoning change are not good. Or the land may be situated next to a nuissance such as a busy airport which may make the property undesirable for family dwelling or even commercial building and you need time to check out the impact of the airport on the property. The point is that there could be a variety of reasons why the land is not as an attractive investment as you originally anticipated and the additional time obtained by the ten-day option may be precisely what you need to be certain that the land is as good an investment as you suspected.

In situations in which the opponent refuses to give the additional time and still pushes for a snap, rushed decision, experience has shown, as previously related, that it was wise to say no because frequently there exists the opportunity to change that no to a yes if a yes later becomes called for, whereas it is not possible in most instances to change that yes to a no.

Refusing to Say Yes Should Be Distinguished from Indecision

Indecision is contagious and differs sharply from a refusal to make a decision for a valid reason. If you are indecisive, your opponent will quickly sense your indecisiveness and you will dissipate your negotiating power because your opponent will lose respect for your ability and will, in extreme cases, become exasperated with your indecisivenenss. This is why it is important that you, whenever you do not want to be pressured into a decision that you may have doubts about, explain to your opponent why you refuse to make thedecision or why the decision must be no if the opponent refuses to give you more time to consider and reflect upon the matter. Once a full explanation is given, the opponent may not like it or even agree with it but there is no danger that the opponent willmisconstrue your refusal to say yes with indecision and, in most instances, you will find that with a full explanation most opponents will be reasonable and grant the additional time whenever possible.

 

   Meditation
Recommend: A Midsummer Night's Dream, by Felix Mendelssohn
Composed in his teens, and then augmented in later years with full incidental music for Shakespeare's play, including the famous Wedding March.

Recommend meditation on a choral work by Felix Mendelssohn: the setting of Psalm 114 (1839) that has a grandeur and nobility unsurpassed in Mendelssohn’s works. Steeped in the Bachian and Handelian traditions, Mendelssohn here [Psalm 114] displays the contrapuntal craftsmanship for which he was renowned during his time. The Fugal subject comprises two short motives, a rising figure for "Hallelujah," and a descending one for "Singet dem Herrn in Ewigkeit" ("Alleluia! Sing to the Lord forever"). Through the course of the fugue, these two motives are subjected to a variety of artful manipulations; and their origins in the opening of the Psalm are made clear by the concluding measures of the work, in which Mendelssohn revives text from the first two verses of the psalm.

Recommended Biography: Roger Corman (Michigan, 1926)

Study actualization of the T-Square in the Star Chart of an important director/producer:
Reflex action takes shape in Cardinal Signs Capricorn and Moonchild.
Moon 14° Capricorn 15' House 5 opposite Pluto 12° Moonchild/Cancer 36' in the Eleventh House
Sun 15° Aries 14', creates the T-Square in the Ninth House

…. He was always pessimistic about humankind, at times justifiably cynical. The time of judgment seemed always near. The gods were angry, and thunder and lightning inevitably punctuated the climaxes.

The trademark formalism of Corman’s images and staging is a function of a deterministic point of view. It is the unrelenting progression of events that carries his short stories swiftly in their inevitable conclusions. His characters cannot escapes these fates, and it is on how they struggle that they are judged. The actors have no freedom of movement without the camera frame but move in strict chalk marked courses. Corman often used a fireplace point-of-view shot, observing the machinations of his characters through the flames, suggesting that fate will see them roast in hell. From the simple, utilitarian staging, mono images and straightforward parallel intercutting of his fifties’ films, Corman evolved his visual style (as time and budget allowed) into a sophisticatedly fluid use of fatalistic tracking shots, wide screen, and symbolic color in his adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe stories in the sixties.

It Conquered The World using themes from both The Day The Earth Stood Still and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, imagines a mad scientist who makes radio contact with an alien monster intent on “rescuing mankind from itself” – but in fact it intends to enslave the planet for its own uses via brain control. In the midst of these horrific events, the characters never cease their clever, sarcastic dialogue and continually philosophize on the nature of human freedom. The conclusion: Man is a feeling creature and because of it the greatest in the universe. Perfection (as promised by the alien) cannot be given to man; it has to be achieved. Whenever man strives for perfection, it ends in disaster. There is hope, but it has to come from inside – from man himself.

-John H. Dorr, American Directors, Volume II

The pair's failed attempts at romance or moneymaking would lead to them fleeing America and taking refuge in some exotic location, where they would stumble across Lamour dressed in a sarong. Hope and Crosby would vie for the affections of Lamour, all the while avoiding whatever trouble they were in to start with, plus whatever extra trouble they got themselves into. Crosby's charm and melodious singing would eventually win the girl, leaving Hope with only wisecracks and one-liners to console him.
