We are companioned by that which is larger than our self. It’s a concept humans have both struggled with and to which they thought they had the answer. Our ego self always seems to see us as alone and unique. “Nobody understands me.” “I have to do this myself.” “I can figure this out.”  What would be a helpful response is, to quote Byron Katie, “Is that true?”

You can guess the answer.  No, those statements are not true.

The best help that is “the larger” is what we are all connected to–consciousness. And the best way to stay aware of “the larger” is to pay attention to my dreams.

Symbols and images that consciousness use to communicate to me — what it already knows, but I am unaware of — come easiest in dreams.  The challenge is to pay attention to the dream and look for the message.

Dreams also remind me that I am never truly alone.  I am always connected to the the consciousness. The consciousness contains the symbology of all of our stories (myths and legends) as well as all of our experiences.

Running into an issue on your Journey?  Put the solution to your dreams.  Simply ask your dreams to help you and show you the way. The answer will show up.  Alright, it might be a bit cryptic at first, but if you trust that that which is larger than you is benevolent, you will get it at some point.  I find it never hurts to be humble, too. “Please show me in a way that my little mind can understand.”

And it did.
