Swans and Cry

[hariTheWinner]

I see a black and a white swan flying gently in the blue sky...

......and I shout out loud with immense pain in the heart... "If I'm not the body and the mind, how should I know myself...." .. I weep, cry intensely... as If someone died... the pain... and I opened my eyes realizing it was just a dream.

your dream was about attachments. things of beauty and wonder that had
attracted your attentions fully. so complete was your focus that you'd found
yourself at a polar extreme of existence, and once reaching that endpoint
you'd seen no where else to go.
"how should I know myself" you ask, and tears of sorrow come to remind
you of what you've left behind: everything. your emotions can guide you
back into awareness of yourself; in a joyful manner you can regain your
balance within the midst of all of creation. the black and white swans fly
together, in harmony, and not in opposition to one another. what has died
for you is your sense of being lost and alone.

Exactly, nowhere to go.

You put tears into my eyes.

Got nothing to say.

here's what i think you'd ought to do hariTheWinner:
recognize that you've traveled to 'the edge of the bubble'....
you've reached an extreme on the periphery of all that is knowable.
to continue on in that same direction will only lead you into darkness,
removed from the light of what is and into what is yet to be.
remain at that location, and continue moving 'forward', but turn your
attentions backward and observe all the things which inhabit creation.
allow the tears to flow, and permit them to clear out the sorrows of
your lonely journey. once you've made peace with having reached
the lip of the void, and having turned your back to it, you can focus
your attentions on discovering 'the golden thread' of god's loving
energy, which is weaved into all of creation. there is joy in that
thread, and you'll experience delight while you discover how that
energy invigorates all that is.

How does a part of the world leave the world?

How does wetness leave water? Dont' try to

put out fire by throwing on more fire! Don't

wash a wound with blood. No matter how fast

you run, your shadow keeps up. Sometimes it's

in front! Only full overhead sun diminishes

your shadow. But that shadow has been serving

you. What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is

your candle. Your boundaries are your quest.

I could explain this, but it will break the

glass cover on your heart, and there's no

fixing that. You must have shadow and light

source both. Listen, and lay your head under

the tree of awe. When from that tree feathers

and wings sprout on you, be quieter than

a dove. Don't even open your mouth for even a coo.

The representation of the swan is beauty in itself, particularly in flight.
Its almost a case of an ongoing battle that you are battling yourself at the moment in a way that once you overcome this battle within, you will continue forwards and find your own truth and answers.

Think of it this way; like two halves of the self that resemble black and white, though not positive or negative and just neutral, but yet battling each other for control. Perhaps this dream is about you being in the driving seat of your life and finding the balance within.

The cygnet growing into a swan springs to mind along with it a personal transformation of change for you. Just remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and over time, you'll soon see that the choice you made was the right one for you, despite the heartache/pain and the loss of what you have gone through, its like a shedding of the old skin for the new person that you will be in the present & future.
