Kriology II Recording 14
|
"'Who are you? What are you? What do you want of me? What are you trying to tell me?' Now, all you’re doing is probing a piece of consciousness called a thought or a dream symbol. And this is a good exercise, because when you go over into the higher astral, the symbols, I suppose, have deeper meaning or more time-related relationships. They have symbols that may have meaning two years, five years, ten years down the road." |

In this recording, Kriyananda tells how to communicate with dream symbols. Being able to do this will help us communicate with beings we meet on the astral.
"Talk to the symbol. Just talk to it. And after you talk a while, stop and listen for a while. And you’ll be amazed what your mind says. You say it’s all imagination and the answer is, that’s right. But imagination is a real, real force. As you talk to the symbol you’ll be amazed what you yourself reveal to yourself about your symbol that you dreamt of."
Please listen to the recording once, then listen again using the PDF outline below.
When you are ready, please answer the study questions. They will help you assimilate the teachings. We suggest that you answer them in your own spiritual notebook. Your answers are private and for yourself alone.
We have also provided an answer key that you can access if you wish. The answer key PDF is at the bottom of the page.
