      From: dicksilk@gmail.com              2020/07/05 We Made It! :-)              So the 4th has come and gone, and we (as a nation) are still here!              The reason I mention this is because of a peculiar dream before waking, where       the dreamer was "erasing" socialism merely by introducing logic. And while I       am mostly unable to recall anything specifically *from* the dream (clarity 6       or 7, perhaps, almost        totally evaporated, however) what I *do* recall was a kind of A or B point, at       which a choice was offered. A person who chose "socialism" seemed fated to       the B position, which was lower and to the left of the A position, which       seemed higher and to the        center, and represented (possibly) capitalism, possibly Christianity.              A waking observation here: *both* Christianity AND Capitalism use a central       concept of Unity: In Christianity, that central Unity is God, and God is       Love. In Capitalism, the "love" (and perhaps "God"?) symbology has been       removed and only Cash (coin)        remains. For example: a dollar may be either "positive" OR "negative" (as in       possessed or owed) or "gained" OR "lost" but it still forms the central unity       of Value. Socialism is based entirely upon greed, which tends to overlook (if       not eliminate) the        2nd vibration of "The Great Commandment."              In other words, Judeo-Christianity is based upon "The Great Commandment" (Love       God with all you have) and the 2nd, "which is like unto it," to love one's       neighbor (and enemies) as thyself. Clearly, socialists wish to steal from the       rich to give to the        poor, creating a one-way cash flow, which inevitably leads to death, which is       why socialism always fails.              At any rate, the dreamer was simply "erasing" socialism, apparently by just       "being" at a location and evaporating the dualism of socialism. It was       practically a "gestalt" type experience.              Meanwhile, in another dream, there was a setting *similar* to a combination       between an office type / corporate setting, and MTSU, between the Murphy       Center and the Alumni Memorial Gym. IN REAL LIFE, this area is either open       grass and sidewalk (above        ground) or a connecting tunnel (below ground) but in the dream, it was an       office type area, with the feel of a multi-level marketing company. There was       a female boss in charge (or so it seemed) who was like a combination between       Jessica Alba and Gina. (       Sorry, but that was the impression I had.)              There was something going on with respect to a computer data base / data       entry, or somehow reflecting a weakness within the system. I had the       impression that the dreamer in this case was either working for or a previous       employee of or in some way *very        familiar with* the computing system being used, and was either fixing a       problem OR possibly white-hat hacking OR had such a conviction of what was       going on that any "black-hat hacking" was viewed *as* white-hat hacking. (The       dreamer *felt* like a "good        guy" who was familiar with the weaknesses within the system.) Clarity       7-or-8-ish.              Another dream involved the same area, except it was transportation-oriented,       involving a kind of golf-cart-buggy, except that it had yellow flashers on       top, not the modern strobe-type strips, but the rotating bubble-gum-type       flashers of the latter part        of last century, still in use in areas today. The action involved a "key" (?)       being used to start the vehicle, and the attention drawn by the yellow       flashers. It felt perhaps "better" if those were left "off."              Another dream involved a HUGE line of people waiting outside a movie theater.        The location was the Martin Twin (Jackson Heights Plaza) (which in real life       has *long* since been a 6-screen theater, but in my youth, it was mostly       either a twin or, even        older, a single screen venue.) The line of people were OBVIOUSLY NOT       concerned with Covid in ANY way. They were possibly 3 across, maybe more, and       front-to-back (what the army used to call "nut-to-butt") and the dreamer was       wondering how much time it        would take to get in to see the movie (hours, perhaps?) The dream ended       without a resolution, to get in line or to skip it, but *my* typical response       would be to come back later when the lines were thinner / shorter. Clarity 8       or 9!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
