Dreams and Reality

The Woman as the Body of the Universe

 I've been trying to recall my first experience at the threshold of dreams. The fact is I've never done anything like that before. The way I was inducted into the training was simply to have myself … dunked into the soup … at a young age … and left to figure for myself … the where … what … how and why. I thought I might like to come to the beginning … and catch the overview … as in what awaits life … at the beginning of its journey … from the human perspective.

The Indics did something similar. They wove the legend of mother as being born alone in the forest and raised by a lion pride. Thereafter she grew to relate to her environment … and began to make clear each layer of experience from another. Dr. Heloisa Garman…  in her conference paper ... ' Dreams : The Theater of Our Inner World '* … does something similar. She presents a vast view of the canvas of dreams … and the way it relates to our lives … and in the tradition of Sankhya … appears to stand aside from all involvement … and simply describe the frame of her view.

In Yoga … the individual finds themselves in such a forest … of the passions … and thereafter in retirement creates a discernment of each part of our experiences and returns to its overall view. Dr. Garman recommends the same thing … suggesting that the individual create a leadership over all the different parts of the experience … and assert her role in the phenomenon. The difference between the two is viewed as … Dr. Garman coming to identify the experience as her body … but the yoga methodology … would come to view the overview as the world.

In my opinion … Dr. Garman's view … is a work in progress … for the view we experience of the personal tends to be unlimited by measure. In the application to the living experience … a man must necessarily define the time frame of the experience as present … the domain of the experience as the earth … and thereafter to refer to each category of the experience in relation to the human jivan lives … of the world. In comparison … Dr. Garman's view is that of a procreator … in possession of the universal egg … and refers to all manner of life's procreation in eternity.

The male view is of the world … based on his living experience and understanding of it. The female view is of the universe … applied in a vision that rises in itself regarding its potency of life. Obviously both are relevant aspects of the human experience … and a man in the review of such a phenomenon … encounters both aspects. This creates the female expression that she is … ' all of these ' … as the identity of her self … while the male … makes a specific identification of himself … as a personality type … in the 21^st century.

In gender relations … the woman tilts her personality to relate to the man … to share the qualities of his personality in the times. It helps her relate … and stay relevant to issues. The man in turn … positions his own personality … in the cosmology of the woman … and is assured of his peripheral support in life. However the way … they bring about the birth of jivans … in the tree … anima and human form … by the reproductive qualities of the woman … is a little more complicated.

A view and expression of this smorgasbord of experience … must necessarily involve a commitment to an individual's physical identity. An individual must take a position with respect to themselves … and engage that as a stable basis of view … of their experience. In the case of the man … its his identity in the human experience. For the woman … its the way she relates to all things … as in the expression of Indic swamys … ' All these is that.' The difference is in the identity and experience of the self.

I therefore find that in the male experience … its not possible to return to the start … and stand apart from everything … to view the overall nature of the individual self. I figure I might do that at the perfection of the specie experience in the future. That is possibly a position at the end of time … when the specie looks back and reconstructs their total experience of creation for their memoirs. At that time … it will be possible to create a fine and complete model of the experience.

The relationship between the man and woman over time … is an informative one. In the beginning the woman … nurtured the development of the human specie … and brought it to the experience of society. In doing so … she negates her own physical nature … to rely on the nature of the universal self. In returning to her … the male personality … destroys her experience of the universe … that is dream based … and substitutes for it … her physical aspect.

It may take a while … for the woman and man to realize that the specie form of the universe … is the woman. The universe is in her … she is not in it. In that it accords the woman her full freedom as woman … and she watches the work of her body and passion mind in society. It is the living experience of the universe … as a friend of the man … in his work to cultivate knowledge of the self. It defines the relationship of man in the universe.
