Project 40: 17: Dreams, Duality and Delusions

June 06, 2013

 

The Next Project 40 starts on Sunday, June 9.

Dream delivers us to dream, and there is no end to illusion. Life is like a train of moods like a string of beads, and, as we pass through them, they prove to be many-colored lenses which paint the world their own hue. . . . ” 

― Ralph Waldo Emerson

The next round of Project 40 will emphasize dream work as we delve into the source of our duality in the form of shadow, tricksters, oppositions, opponents, enemies, choices, second-guessing, push-pull, back and forth, cross-purposes, confusion, delusion etc. We will also be digging into the source of our illusions and work with the subtle layers between dreams, visions, and illusions. Symbols will be highlighted this round as well as we mine the infinitely rich world of the archetypal energies found in our dreams, omens and hidden messages in our lives. We will embrace the invisible and work with subtle body energies over the next 40 days.

Here is an article about the current energy inspiring the next round of Project 40:

The planet responsible for submerging us in our dreams, illusion, glamour and delusions is preparing to go retrograde in his home turf of Pisces for the next 160 days. This is our opportunity to confront any areas of our life where we have been living in denial. Look to where your favorite modes of escapism lie and ask yourself what inner caves you’ve been avoiding. This is a precious opportunity to connect back to spirit, your unconscious, sleep and dream work in a sublime way. It’s easier to access the right hemisphere of the brain now. Pay attention to the subtlest of the subtle. This is a time to surrender rather than fall under the false delusion of ego in its relentless attempts to convince us we somehow are in control. That famous saying that the gods laugh while we make plans is quite apropos during this time.

We are more likely to turn our minds away from logic and reasoning and towards creativity, mysticism, symbolism and invisible realms. Those with strong Pisces, Neptune or twelfth house energies in their horoscope will feel this profound shift and may feel overwhelming sensitive. It’s all too easy to leave our bodies and lose our grounding during this time as we shift into the subtle body realm. It’s a good idea to avoid or at the very least cut down alcohol and caffeine during this time to remain somewhat grounded and still attached to the earth plane. It’s also wise to avoid chemicals, and any addictive people, places and things.

Due to the heightened sensitivity it’s also important to steer clear of toxic and draining people and situations. Boundaries are quite permeable during this time. We are all feeling more permeable to the influences around us, so be mindful of what you are letting into your energetic sphere. On the brighter side, this is a beautiful time for healing, compassion and accessing our visionary potential. We have special access to the higher realms of creativity and all of the subtle art forms and healing arts. Empathy, spirituality, mysticism, the invisible, dreams, archetypes and surrendering our egos to something higher are all prevalent themes for the second half of 2013. There is a strong redemptive quality to Neptune when we embrace it for all of its healing potential. Let go and flow!
